Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of plant pollinator technology, specifically a vibrating pollinator. Background Technology
[0002] In agricultural production, especially in greenhouse cultivation and artificial pollination, the efficient collection and precise application of pollen have a significant impact on crop yield. Traditional artificial pollination methods, such as brushing or blowing pollen through a blower, suffer from low efficiency, high labor intensity, easy pollen waste, and a high risk of cross-contamination.
[0003] In recent years, pollination devices based on the principle of vibration have been gradually applied in production practice. These devices typically consist of a vibrating head, a pollen collection chamber, and an air blowing mechanism. They work by using mechanical vibration to detach pollen from the stamens, collecting it in the pollen collection chamber, and finally using airflow to spray the pollen.
[0004] However, existing vibrating pollinators use an open connection between the vibrating head and the pollen collection chamber. During vibration, the stamens swing violently, causing pollen to disperse and fall. Some pollen is easily lost outside the collection chamber, reducing collection efficiency. Furthermore, the lost pollen can easily fall directly onto the pistil below, making it difficult to control the pollination dosage during subsequent pollen spraying. This can easily lead to under-pollination or over-pollination. Moreover, the collection chamber needs to be closed after pollen collection before it can be connected to the air blowing mechanism for spraying. This makes it difficult to achieve simultaneous and continuous operation of collection and application, resulting in insufficient flexibility, limiting further improvement in operational efficiency, and failing to meet the requirements for pollination timing control in precision agriculture. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a vibrating pollinator to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0006] The technical solution of this invention is: A vibrating pollinator includes: a vibrating working chamber and a pollen processing chamber equipped with a gas generating device. The pollen processing chamber has an opening at its top. The vibrating working chamber is located above the pollen processing chamber. A receiving groove is formed on the front end face of the vibrating working chamber facing inward. A vibrating body is provided in the receiving groove for vibrating the stamens, causing the pollen on them to fall into the pollen processing chamber. A guide is provided between the vibrating working chamber and the pollen processing chamber to allow the vibrating working chamber to slide up and down along the guide to adjust the distance between them. A sealing part is also provided between the pollen processing chamber and the vibrating working chamber. The sealing part includes: a slot and a plate. A slot is opened from the top of the pollen treatment chamber wall towards its bottom. The insert plate is connected to the bottom of the vibrating working chamber. The insert plate and the slot are positioned correspondingly, and the insert plate is movably inserted into the slot to close the periphery of the space between the vibrating working chamber and the pollen treatment chamber when the vibrating working chamber is raised. A baffle is installed over the opening of the pollen treatment chamber, and one side of the baffle is hinged to the opening. A sliding groove is opened on the top surface of the baffle, and a slider is slidably mounted on the sliding groove. The slider and the bottom of the receiving groove are hinged by a connecting rod so that the baffle opens when the vibrating working chamber is away from the pollen treatment chamber and closes the opening when the vibrating working chamber is close to the pollen treatment chamber.
[0007] During pollen collection, the vibrating working chamber slides upward through the guide. At this time, the hinged relationship between the bottom of the vibrating working chamber and the slider on the baffle causes the vibrating working chamber to rise. This lifts one side of the baffle, allowing the pollen treatment chamber and the receiving groove of the vibrating working chamber to connect, so that the pollen can enter the pollen treatment chamber. At the same time, the insert plate at the bottom of the vibrating working chamber is pulled out from the cavity wall of the pollen treatment chamber, forming a circumferential seal between the pollen treatment chamber and the vibrating working chamber, preventing the pollen that has fallen from the stamen from being lost outside the pollen treatment chamber. After pollen has been collected once or multiple times, the vibrating working chamber can be slid down through the guide to bring it close to the pollen treatment chamber, causing the baffle to re-close the opening of the pollen treatment chamber and the insert plate to return to the slot. At this point, the gas generator can be operated to supply gas to the pollen treatment chamber for pollen spraying.
[0008] This device not only solves the problems of pollen waste and uneven pollination caused by easy pollen loss, but also enables synchronous and continuous operation of pollen collection and application, meeting the requirements for pollination timing control while improving pollination efficiency and ease of operation.
[0009] Furthermore, there are two baffles, symmetrically arranged and hinged to the two inner sides of the opening. The sliders on the two baffles are hinged to the bottom of the two walls of the receiving groove. The lifting motion of the vibrating working chamber serves as the driving input, and the connecting rod and sliders drive the two baffles to synchronously open and close. During the vibration pollination operation, when the vibrating working chamber rises away from the pollen processing chamber, the two baffles automatically open, exposing sufficient space to collect pollen shaken off the stamens. After vibration is complete, the vibrating working chamber descends to its original position, and the baffles close, sealing the top opening of the pollen processing chamber to prevent the collected pollen from escaping or external impurities from entering.
[0010] Furthermore, the bottom inner sides of both walls of the receiving groove are provided with inclined surfaces, and the bottom of the two baffles away from the inner side of the opening is provided with a cut surface that matches the inclined surface. When the baffle is opened to the maximum position, the slider slides to the end of one end of the groove, and the inclination angle of the baffle makes the top of the baffle fit with the inclined surface of the receiving groove. The cut surface at the bottom of the baffle is flush with the inner wall of the receiving groove, preventing pollen from falling to the top of the baffle and causing pollen waste.
[0011] Furthermore, a filter plate is provided at the opening, which is located below the two baffles. Before the pollen enters the processing chamber, the filter plate can screen out larger impurities such as flower fragments that may be mixed in during the shaking process, thereby achieving preliminary filtration of impurities, ensuring the purity of the subsequently sprayed pollen, and avoiding clogging of the pollen nozzle.
[0012] Furthermore, the top of the pollen processing chamber has multiple slots, which are connected end to end to form a connecting groove. The bottom of the vibrating working chamber has multiple insert plates, which are connected end to end to form a closed tube. The closed tube is slidably inserted into the connecting groove. The connecting groove and the closed tube cooperate to form a closed enclosure around the space between the pollen processing chamber and the vibrating working chamber, which effectively prevents pollen from escaping when it falls from the vibrating working chamber to the pollen processing chamber, thereby ensuring the pollen collection efficiency.
[0013] Furthermore, the shape of the insertion groove is consistent with the cross-sectional shape of the pollen treatment chamber, and the structure of the closed tube body and the insertion groove are matched. Sealing strips are provided between the two sides of the groove opening of the insertion groove structure and the tube wall of the closed tube body. The insertion groove is a rectangular groove, and the closed tube body is a square tube structure. The closed tube body can be slidably inserted into the rectangular groove, and the sealing strip prevents pollen from falling into the insertion groove from the gap between the closed tube body and the rectangular groove, thus avoiding pollen accumulation in the insertion groove. This prevents pollen accumulation in the insertion groove from hindering the smooth sliding of the closed tube body in the insertion groove, ensuring the efficiency of the vibration pollinator state switching, and thus ensuring the overall pollination efficiency.
[0014] Furthermore, the pollen processing chamber has a pollen nozzle connected to its front end and a gas generator at its rear end. The gas generator includes: a cylindrical outer shell with an internal air bladder chamber containing a slidable squeezing plate; and an air bladder located inside the air bladder chamber, above the squeezing plate, connected to the pollen processing chamber via an air bladder connecting pipe. The pollen processing chamber has a wider upper section and a narrower lower section structure. The pollen nozzle is located near the bottom of the chamber, and its inner diameter decreases uniformly towards the nozzle opening. The squeezing plate provides a stable and controllable airflow to the air bladder. Combined with the wider upper section and narrower lower section structure of the pollen processing chamber, this guides pollen aggregation and prevents its retention. The tapering structure of the pollen nozzle accelerates the airflow, enabling precise and directional pollen spraying, effectively improving pollen utilization and pollination efficiency.
[0015] Furthermore, it also includes: a handheld part, detachably connected to the outer shell of the gas generating device via a fixed connecting rod; a sleeve, fitted over the fixed connecting rod, with one end of the sleeve rotatably fitted over the outer shell of the gas generating device, and the other end rotatably connected to the handheld part. A variable diameter body is fixedly fitted onto the end of the sleeve near the vibrating working chamber, and the outer circumferential surface of the variable diameter body slides in contact with the outer shell of the vibrating working chamber. By rotating the sleeve, the distance between the vibrating working chamber and the pollen treatment chamber is controlled by changing the distance between the variable diameter body and the sleeve. In use, the user holds the handheld part with one hand and rotates the sleeve with the other hand, thus controlling the distance between the vibrating working chamber and the pollen treatment chamber by changing the slope height of the variable diameter body. The raising and lowering of the vibrating working chamber can be operated directly with one hand, that is, the switching between pollen collection and pollination working states can be completed with one hand, making the adjustment more flexible and faster.
[0016] Furthermore, the variable diameter body includes two variable diameter slopes, which are symmetrically arranged, and the distance between each variable diameter slope and the outer wall of the sleeve increases uniformly. The two connection points of the two variable diameter slopes serve as two positioning points, namely the first positioning point and the second positioning point. The first positioning point is the positioning point of the vibrating working chamber in the powder collection state, and the second positioning point is the positioning point of the vibrating working chamber in the powder feeding state. There is a groove at both the first and second positioning points, which can further improve the speed of switching between the powder collection state and the powder feeding state, and make positioning simpler and more convenient, further improving the flexibility of the device.
[0017] Furthermore, it also includes: a drive unit, which is a plate structure, connected to the side of the sleeve via an elastic column; a first drive rod is provided on the side of the drive unit away from the sleeve, and a second drive rod is provided on the side of the drive unit closer to the sleeve; a through hole is opened at the bottom of the air bladder cavity for the second drive rod to pass through; the vibrating body includes: a housing, fixedly installed in a receiving groove, the housing being a tubular structure; a mounting rod, coaxially sleeved inside the housing, with multiple tension springs evenly distributed between the mounting rod and the inner wall of the housing; and two vibrating plates, respectively connected to the two ends of the mounting rod, the first vibrating plate for contacting the male flower, and the second vibrating plate for contacting the first drive rod, so that the device can use the same drive unit to drive the vibrating body and the gas generating device in both pollen collection and pollination states, making the switching of device states more flexible while ensuring the stability of the device operation in both states.
[0018] Furthermore, a through hole is provided on the vibrating working chamber, and the guide components include a guide rod and a return spring. The guide rod passes through the through hole, with one end vertically connected to the outside of the gas generator housing, and the other end fixed with a limiting block. The two ends of the return spring abut against the vibrating working chamber, respectively, along with the limiting block. The guide rod ensures that the vibrating working chamber always slides smoothly along a straight line without deflection. The return spring enables the vibrating working chamber to quickly approach the pollen processing chamber after one or more pollen collection operations, completing the switching of pollination state. The guide rod and return spring also improve the speed and stability of state switching.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: The present invention includes a sealing section between the vibrating working chamber and the pollen treatment chamber. The vibrating working chamber slides upward via a guide member. At this time, the bottom of the vibrating working chamber and the slider on the baffle are hinged. After the vibrating working chamber rises, one side of the baffle is lifted, connecting the pollen treatment chamber and the receiving groove of the vibrating working chamber, allowing pollen to enter the pollen treatment chamber. Simultaneously, the insert plate at the bottom of the vibrating working chamber is pulled out from the chamber wall of the pollen treatment chamber, forming a circumferential seal between the pollen treatment chamber and the vibrating working chamber, preventing pollen detached from the stamen from escaping from the pollen treatment chamber. Outside the chamber; after pollen collection once or multiple times, the vibrating working chamber can be slid downwards via the guide to bring it close to the pollen treatment chamber, causing the baffle to re-close the opening of the pollen treatment chamber, and the insert plate to return to the slot. At this point, the gas generator can be operated to supply gas to the pollen treatment chamber for pollen spraying. This not only solves the problems of pollen waste and uneven pollination caused by easy pollen loss, but also realizes the synchronous and continuous operation of pollen collection and application, meeting the requirements for pollination timing control while improving pollination efficiency and ease of operation.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature; in the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0034] It should be noted that the circuit connections involved in this invention all adopt conventional circuit connection methods and do not involve any innovation.
[0035] Example like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a vibrating pollinator includes: a vibrating working chamber 1 and a pollen processing chamber 2 equipped with a gas generating device 3. The pollen processing chamber 2 has an opening at the top. The vibrating working chamber 1 is located above the pollen processing chamber 2. A receiving groove 12 is formed on the front end face of the vibrating working chamber 1 inward. A vibrating body 7 is provided in the receiving groove 12 for vibrating the stamens, causing the pollen on them to fall into the pollen processing chamber 2. A guide member 11 is provided between the vibrating working chamber 1 and the pollen processing chamber 2, so that the vibrating working chamber 1 can slide up and down along the guide member 11 to adjust the distance between it and the pollen processing chamber 2. A sealing part is also provided between the pollen processing chamber 2 and the vibrating working chamber 1. Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the sealing part includes: a slot 22, an insert plate 13, and a baffle 23. The slot 22 is opened from the top of the pollen treatment chamber 2 towards its bottom. The insert plate 13 is connected to the bottom of the vibrating working chamber 1. The insert plate 13 and the slot 22 are positioned correspondingly, and the insert plate 13 is movably inserted into the slot 22 to close the periphery of the space between the vibrating working chamber 1 and the pollen treatment chamber 2 when the vibrating working chamber 1 is raised. The baffle 23 covers the opening of the pollen treatment chamber 2, and one side of the baffle 23 is hinged to the opening. A groove 231 is opened on the top surface of the baffle 23. A slider 232 is slidably mounted on the groove 231. The slider 232 and the bottom of the receiving groove 12 are hinged by a connecting rod so that the baffle 23 opens when the vibrating working chamber 1 is away from the pollen treatment chamber 2 and closes the opening when the vibrating working chamber 1 is close to the pollen treatment chamber 2. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, insert plates 13 are provided at the bottom of the front and rear ends of the vibration working chamber 1, and the two ends of the baffle 23 are tightly attached to the plate surface of the insert plate 13, thereby completing the space sealing between the vibration working chamber 1 and the pollen treatment chamber 2.
[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 11 As shown, during pollen collection, the vibrating working chamber 1 slides upward through the guide 11. At this time, the bottom of the vibrating working chamber 1 and the slider 232 on the baffle 23 are hinged. After the vibrating working chamber 1 rises, one side of the baffle 23 is lifted to connect the pollen treatment chamber 2 and the receiving groove 12 of the vibrating working chamber 1, so that the pollen can enter the pollen treatment chamber 2. At the same time, the insert plate 13 at the bottom of the vibrating working chamber 1 is pulled out from the cavity wall of the pollen treatment chamber 2, forming a circumferential seal between the pollen treatment chamber 2 and the vibrating working chamber 1 to prevent the pollen that falls off the stamen from being lost outside the pollen treatment chamber. After pollen is collected once or multiple times, the vibrating working chamber 1 can be operated to slide downward through the guide 11 so that the vibrating working chamber 1 is close to the pollen processing chamber 2, so that the baffle 23 re-closes the opening of the pollen processing chamber 2, and the insert plate 13 returns to the slot 22. At this time, the gas generator 3 can be operated to supply gas to the pollen processing chamber for pollen spraying.
[0037] This device not only solves the problems of pollen waste and uneven pollination caused by easy pollen loss, but also enables synchronous and continuous operation of pollen collection and application, meeting the requirements for pollination timing control while improving pollination efficiency and ease of operation.
[0038] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, there are two baffles 23, symmetrically arranged and hinged to the two inner sides of the opening. The sliders 232 on the two baffles 23 are hinged to the bottom of the two walls of the receiving groove 12. The lifting motion of the vibrating working chamber 1 serves as the driving input, and the connecting rod and sliders drive the two baffles 23 to complete synchronous opening and closing. During the vibration pollination operation, when the vibrating working chamber 1 rises away from the pollen processing chamber 2, the two baffles 23 automatically open, exposing sufficient space to collect pollen shaken off the stamens. After vibration, the vibrating working chamber 1 descends to its original position, and the baffles 23 close, sealing the top opening of the pollen processing chamber 2 to prevent the collected pollen from escaping or external impurities from entering. It is worth noting that because the two baffles 23 are symmetrically arranged, even with minor manufacturing errors, a relatively consistent operating rhythm can be maintained, preventing one baffle 23 from opening or closing first. Furthermore, a sealing strip can be installed at the end of the two baffles 23 that is close to each other; the elastic compression of the two sealing strips ensures a tight seal at the joint.
[0039] like Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the inner bottom sides of both walls of the receiving groove 12 are provided with inclined surfaces 121, and the bottom of the two baffles 23 away from the inner side of the opening is provided with an inclined cut surface that matches the inclined surface 121, such as... Figure 10 As shown, when the baffle 23 is opened to the maximum position, the slider 232 slides to the end of one end of the groove 231, and the tilt angle of the baffle 23 makes the top of the baffle 23 fit with the inclined surface 121 of the receiving groove 12, and the cross-section at the bottom of the baffle 23 is flush with the inner wall of the receiving groove 12, preventing pollen from falling to the top of the baffle 23 and causing pollen waste.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, a filter plate 24 is provided at the opening. The filter plate 24 is located below the two baffles 23. Before the pollen enters the processing chamber, the filter plate 24 can screen out larger impurities such as flower fragments that may be mixed in during the shaking, so as to achieve preliminary filtration of impurities, ensure the purity of the pollen sprayed later, and avoid clogging the pollen nozzle 21.
[0041] Multiple slots 231 are provided on the top of the pollen processing chamber 2, and the multiple slots 231 are connected end to end to form a connecting groove. Multiple insert plates 13 are provided on the bottom of the vibrating working chamber 1, and the multiple insert plates 13 are connected end to end to form a closed tube. The closed tube is slidably inserted into the connecting groove. The connecting groove and the closed tube cooperate to form a closed enclosure around the space between the pollen processing chamber 2 and the vibrating working chamber 1, which effectively prevents pollen from falling from the vibrating working chamber 1 to the pollen processing chamber 3 and scattering to the surroundings, thereby ensuring the pollen collection efficiency.
[0042] The shape of the insertion groove is consistent with the cross-sectional shape of the pollen treatment chamber 2, and the structure of the closed tube and the insertion groove are matched. Sealing strips are provided between the two sides of the groove opening and the tube wall of the closed tube. The pollen treatment chamber 2 is a rectangular cubic collection box, the insertion groove is a rectangular groove, and the closed tube is a square tube structure. The closed tube can be slidably inserted into the rectangular groove, and the sealing strip prevents pollen from falling into the insertion groove from the gap between the closed tube and the rectangular groove, thus avoiding pollen accumulation in the insertion groove. This prevents pollen accumulation in the insertion groove from hindering the smooth sliding of the closed tube in the insertion groove, ensuring the switching efficiency of the pollen collection state and the pollination state of the vibrating pollinator, thereby ensuring the overall pollination efficiency.
[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pollen processing chamber 2 has a pollen nozzle 21 connected to its front end and a gas generator 3 at its rear end. The gas generator 3 includes a shell and an air bladder 32. The shell is cylindrical, and an air bladder cavity 31 is located inside the shell. A compression plate 34 is slidably mounted inside the air bladder cavity 31, sliding along the height of the air bladder cavity 31. The air bladder 32 is located inside the air bladder cavity 31 and above the compression plate 34. The air bladder 32 is connected to the pollen processing chamber 2 via an air bladder connecting tube. It is worth noting that the air bladder 32 and the air bladder connecting tube are connected in a conventional manner. The air bladder connecting tube for inhaling and exhaling air from the air bladder 32 is also a current technological means. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the interior of pollen processing chamber 2 has a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, as... Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the pollen nozzle 21 is connected to the bottom of the pollen processing chamber 2, and the inner diameter of the pollen nozzle 21 is uniformly reduced towards its nozzle. The airbag 32 is squeezed by the extrusion plate 34 to provide a stable and controllable airflow. Combined with the pollen processing chamber 2 structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, it can guide the pollen to converge and prevent it from being retained. The tapered structure of the pollen nozzle 21 accelerates the airflow, so that the pollen is accurately and directionally sprayed, which effectively improves the pollen utilization rate and pollination effect.
[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, it also includes: a handheld part 6 and a sleeve 4. The handheld part 6 is detachably connected to the outer shell of the gas generating device 3 via a fixed connecting rod 61. The sleeve 4 is sleeved outside the fixed connecting rod 61, with one end of the sleeve 4 rotatably sleeved outside the outer shell of the gas generating device 3, and the other end rotatably connected to the handheld part 6. A variable diameter body 41 is fixedly sleeved on the end of the sleeve 4 near the vibrating working chamber 1. The outer circumferential surface of the variable diameter body 41 slides in contact with the outer shell of the vibrating working chamber 1. By rotating the sleeve 4, the distance between the vibrating working chamber 1 and the pollen treatment chamber 2 is controlled by changing the distance between the variable diameter body 41 and the sleeve 4. In use, the user holds the handheld part 6 with one hand and rotates the sleeve 4 with the other hand, thus controlling the distance between the vibrating working chamber 1 and the pollen treatment chamber 2 by changing the slope height of the variable diameter body 41. The raising and lowering of the vibrating working chamber 1 can be operated directly with one hand, that is, the switching between pollen collection and pollination working states can be completed with one hand, making the adjustment more flexible and faster.
[0045] To facilitate the rotation of the sleeve 4, a screwing part 42 is provided at one end of the sleeve 4 near the hand-held part 6. The screwing part 42 has a stepped shaft structure and is integrally formed with the sleeve 4.
[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the variable diameter body 41 includes two variable diameter slopes, which are symmetrically arranged. The distance between each variable diameter slope and the outer wall of the sleeve 4 increases uniformly. The two connection points of the two variable diameter slopes serve as two positioning points, namely the first positioning point 411 and the second positioning point 412. The first positioning point 411 is the positioning point of the vibrating working chamber 1 in the powder collecting state, and the second positioning point 412 is the positioning point of the vibrating working chamber 1 in the powder feeding state. There is a groove at both the first positioning point 411 and the second positioning point 412, which can further improve the speed of switching between the powder collecting state and the powder feeding state, and make positioning simpler and more convenient, further improving the flexibility of the device.
[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a drive unit 5, which is a plate structure. The drive unit 5 is connected to the side of the sleeve 4 via an elastic column, as shown. Figure 9 As shown, the elastic column has an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve that are sleeved together, and a spring connects the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve. A first drive rod 51 is provided on the side of the drive unit 5 away from the sleeve 4, and a second drive rod 52 is provided on the side of the drive unit 5 closer to the sleeve 4. Figure 8 As shown, a through hole 33 is provided at the bottom of the airbag cavity 31, through hole 33 for the passage of the second drive rod 52, as shown. Figure 7As shown, the vibrating body 7 includes: a housing 71, a mounting rod 73, and two vibrating plates 74. The housing 71 is fixedly installed in the receiving groove 12 and has a tubular structure. The mounting rod 73 is coaxially sleeved inside the housing 71, and multiple tension springs 72 are evenly distributed between the mounting rod 73 and the inner wall of the housing 71. The two vibrating plates 74 are respectively connected to the two ends of the mounting rod 73. The first vibrating plate is used to contact the male flower, and the second vibrating plate is used to contact the first drive rod 51.
[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, rotating the sleeve 4 causes the vibrating working chamber 1 to rise using the variable diameter body 41. At this time, the insert plate 13 is pulled out from the slot 22, and the baffle 23 is opened, which is the pollen collection state. At this time, one end of the first drive rod 51 contacts the second vibrating plate. To make the vibrating body 7 vibrate, it is only necessary to move the drive part 5 from the side of the drive part 5 of the plate structure. Using the action of the elastic column, the drive part 5 of the plate structure swings up and down. The first drive rod 51 located on it moves up and down repeatedly and continuously hits the second vibrating plate. After the second vibrating plate vibrates, due to the connection structure of the tension spring 72, the mounting rod 73 and the housing 71, the mounting rod 73 continuously shakes in the housing 71, and the first vibrating plate on the other end continuously beats the male flowers, so that the pollen falls into the pollen processing chamber 2.
[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in Figure 1 In this state, the sleeve 4 is rotated again, and the vibrating working chamber 1 is reset by using the variable diameter body 41. At this time, the insert plate 13 is inserted from the slot 22, and the baffle 23 closes the opening, which is the pollination state. At this time, the second drive rod 52 is aligned with the through hole 33 on the airbag cavity 31. Then, the drive part 5 of the plate structure is pressed, so that the second drive rod 52 enters the airbag cavity 31 from the through hole 33, driving the squeezing plate 34 to complete the squeezing of the airbag 32, so that the airbag 32 enters the pollen treatment chamber 2 to complete the pollination. After one press, the drive part 5 is reset by using the elastic column, the airbag 32 is reset by its own elasticity, and the squeezing plate 34 is reset by the restoration of the airbag 32. It is worth noting that the airbag 32 fills the entire airbag cavity 31 as much as possible, which not only has the effect of fixing the position of the airbag 32, but also makes it easier to squeeze the airbag 32 to expel air by using the squeezing plate 34.
[0050] With the above-mentioned device, the state switching of powder collection and powdering can be completed by rotating the sleeve 4. At the same time, the same drive unit 5 can be used to drive the vibrator 7 and the gas generator 3 in the corresponding state, making the switching of the device state more flexible while ensuring the stability of the device operation in both states.
[0051] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a through hole is provided on the vibrating working chamber 1. The guide member 11 includes a guide rod and a return spring. The guide rod passes through the through hole, with one end vertically connected to the outside of the outer shell of the gas generator 3, and a limiting block fixed at the other end. The two ends of the return spring abut against the vibrating working chamber 1, respectively, along with the limiting block. The guide rod ensures that the vibrating working chamber 1 always slides smoothly along a straight line without deflection. The return spring can make the vibrating working chamber 1 quickly approach the pollen treatment chamber 2 after one or more pollen collection operations are completed, thus completing the switching of the pollination state. The guide rod and the return spring also improve the speed and stability of the state switching.
[0052] To verify the pollen collection efficiency of the vibrating pollinator in this embodiment, under the same greenhouse environment conditions, 60 tomato plants with the same growth status were selected, and 5 standard female flowers were selected from each plant for pollination, for a total of 300 female flowers that needed to be pollinated.
[0053] Two methods were used to pollinate the female flowers: one for individual plant pollination and the other for uniform pollination.
[0054] Intra-plant pollination refers to the process of collecting pollen from the stamens of a single tomato plant and then spraying the collected pollen onto the female flowers. After pollinating the female flowers of one tomato plant, pollen is collected from the stamens of the next tomato plant and sprayed onto the female flowers below it. This process is repeated to pollinate 60 tomato plants.
[0055] Sixty tomato plants with uniform growth were selected, and five standard female flowers from each plant were chosen for pollination, resulting in a total of 300 female flowers.
[0056] In this embodiment, the vibrating pollinator pollinates the pollen from two male flowers on each plant using a single-plant pollination method, and then immediately pollinates the five female flowers on the same plant.
[0057] The existing vibrating pollinator also uses the method of pollination within a single plant, but it requires the collection of pollen from 4 male flowers per plant in order to pollinate 5 female flowers on the same plant.
[0058] Comparison of male flower resource consumption: In this embodiment, the vibrating pollinator pollinated 60 plants, requiring the collection of a total of 120 male flowers.
[0059] The existing vibrating pollinator can pollinate 60 plants, requiring the collection of 240 male flowers.
[0060] As can be seen from the above, under the condition of completing the pollination of 300 female flowers, the vibrating pollinator in this embodiment saves 50% of the male flower resources.
[0061] Comparison of operational efficiency and time: Single-plant operation time: In this embodiment, the vibrating pollinator collects pollen from 2 male flowers, and it takes an average of 2 seconds to collect pollen from each male flower. The time to switch the vibrating pollinator state is 2 seconds. It takes an average of 2 seconds to pollinate 5 female flowers, and an average of 16 seconds to pollinate one tomato plant.
[0062] The existing vibrating pollinator collects 4 male flowers, with an average collection time of 2 seconds per male flower. It takes 10 seconds to close the collection chamber and connect it to the powder generator. It pollinates 5 female flowers, with an average collection time of 2 seconds per female flower. The average time for pollinating one tomato plant is 28 seconds.
[0063] Total task time: In this embodiment, the total time for pollinating 60 tomato plants using the vibrating pollinator was 16 minutes.
[0064] The existing vibrating pollinator pollinated 60 tomato plants in a total time of 28 minutes.
[0065] It is clear from the above data that the overall efficiency of the vibration pollinator in this embodiment is improved by approximately 42% compared to existing vibration pollinators. Furthermore, it significantly saves 50% of male flower resources.
[0066] The uniform pollination method refers to collecting enough pollen from 60 tomato plants first, and then pollinating the female flowers of the 60 tomato plants uniformly. According to previous experimental data, it takes about 1500mg of pure tomato pollen to complete the pollination of 300 female flowers.
[0067] Using the vibrating pollinator of this embodiment, pollen was collected from a total of 120 standard stamens in the same batch. After the collection of the 120 stamens was completed, the pollen was accurately weighed and a total of 1620 mg of pure pollen was obtained.
[0068] Using an existing vibrating pollen collector as a control, pollen was collected from standard stamens of the same source and quantity. After collection, the pollen was accurately weighed, yielding 972 mg of pollen.
[0069] It is not difficult to see that when collecting pollen from the same number of standard stamens: The vibrating pollinator of this embodiment, with its closed pollen collection channel, collects 1620 mg of pollen; while existing vibrating pollen collectors, with their open collection channels, allow pollen to diffuse as it falls, resulting in a collection of only 972 mg of pollen. The pollen collection efficiency of the vibrating pollinator in this embodiment is approximately 66.7% higher than that of existing vibrating pollinators. This fully demonstrates the outstanding effect of the vibrating pollinator in this embodiment in terms of pollen collection rate and prevention of pollen loss.
[0070] Therefore, even when using a unified pollen collection and unified pollination method, the vibrating pollinator in this embodiment takes less time and collects fewer stamens when collecting the same weight of pollen compared to existing vibrating pollinators.
[0071] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto, and any variations that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
