DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0034] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the utility model provides an anther removal tool, which is mainly used for lilies, and can also be used for removing stamens from flowers with medium and large flower shapes and few stamens such as amaryllis and tulips. The utility model comprises at least one collecting wing 1 that can be tilted, one edge of the collecting wing 1 is bent upward and inward to form a collecting cavity 2 for storing anthers 14, at least two removal teeth 3 are arranged at the wing edge opposite to the edge bent upward and inward, a filament channel 4 with a width greater than the diameter of the filament 15 but less than the diameter of the anther 14 is formed between adjacent removal teeth 3, an opening 5 for the filament 15 to enter is arranged on the side of the filament channel 4 away from the collecting cavity 2, and an anti-falling device for preventing the anther 14 from falling off the filament channel 4 is arranged at the opening 5.

[0036] When the anther 14 needs to be removed, the filament 15 is inserted into the filament channel 4, and then the collecting wing 1 is rotated to rotate the collecting chamber 2 to the lower part of the anther 14, and the collecting wing 1 is moved away from the anther 14 to remove the anther 14 from the filament 15. The removed anther 14 falls into the collecting chamber 2. Since the collecting chamber 2 is located just below the anther 14, the pollen scattered during the removal will also fall into the collecting chamber 2, and will not pass through the filament channel 4 and fall onto the petals 13, clothing, desktop and other items, thereby keeping the petals 13, clothing, desktop and other items clean and avoiding the phenomenon that the anther 14 and / or pollen contaminate the petals 13, clothing, desktop and other items. The collecting wing 1 can be held by hand to tilt it to one side, or it can be driven to tilt by a structure such as a mechanical arm. The preferred embodiment of the present application is to hold the collecting wing 1 by hand during use, and drive the collecting wing 1 to tilt to one side by rotating the hand.

[0037] The number of removal teeth 3 matches the number of anthers 14 that can be removed at one time. To improve the removal efficiency, the present application preferably provides 6 removal teeth 3 on the collection wing 1, and the number of removal teeth 3 can also be adjusted according to actual needs. The front end of the collection wing 1 is provided with a capture tooth 6, the orthographic projection length of the capture tooth 6 is greater than the orthographic projection length of the removal tooth 3, the capture tooth 6 is inclined, and the angle γ between the orthographic projection of the capture tooth 6 and the orthographic projection of the tangent of the bottom surface of the collection chamber 2 is 10 to 170°, wherein the orthographic projection refers to the projection of an object in the front view / rear view, and the orthographic projection length refers to the length of the projection of the object in the front view / rear view; when the anther removal tool enters the flower, the capture tooth 6 first hooks the filament 15 forward, so that the filament 15 is away from the petals 13, and enters the filament channel 4 in the process of the filament 15 gradually approaching the collection chamber 2; as a preferred embodiment of the present application, γ is 40 to 60°. Furthermore, the capture teeth 6 are tilted upward, and the angle β between the side projection of the capture teeth 6 and the side projection of the tangent line of the bottom surface of the collecting chamber 2 is 90-180°. When the filament 15 moves, the upwardly tilted capture teeth 6 hold the anther 14, so as to prevent the filament 15 from being broken due to excessive force before entering the filament channel 4, thereby causing the anther 14 and pollen to fall onto the flower, clothing or desktop. The side projection refers to the projection of an object in a side view. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the orthographic projection length of the capture teeth 6 is (0.2-5) ± 0.5 cm, and the orthographic projection width is (0.1-4) ± 0.1 cm.

[0038] In order to facilitate the filament 15 to enter the filament channel 4, the present application sets the removal teeth 3 to be inclined, and the inclination direction is the same as the inclination direction of the capture teeth 6. The angle δ between the orthographic projection of the removal teeth 3 and the orthographic projection of the tangent of the bottom surface of the cavity is 10-160°. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, δ is 60-80°, the orthographic projection length of the removal teeth 3 is (0.1-4) ± 0.3 cm, and the orthographic projection width is (0.1-3) ± 0.1 cm. In the side projection direction, the removal teeth 3 and the bottom surface of the collection cavity 2 are in the same plane, that is, the removal teeth 3 do not tilt upward, so that when the anther 14 is removed, the removal teeth 3 are in contact with the bottom surface of the anther 14, so that the anther 14 can be completely removed from the filament 15, reducing the situation where the pollen is more easily separated from the anther 14 and scattered on the petals 13 due to the contact between the removal teeth 3 and the side of the anther 14 when the anther 14 is removed. The outer surfaces of the capturing teeth 6, the removing teeth 3 and the collecting wings 1 are all smooth arc-shaped structures, which protect the petals 13, filaments 15, styles 17 and other parts from being damaged when the anthers 14 are removed, and also avoid accidental injuries to the operator during use.

[0039] A handle 7 is provided at one end of the collecting wing 1 away from the capturing tooth 6. The handle 7 includes a gripping portion 8 and a connecting portion 9 for connecting the collecting wing 1 and the gripping portion 8. The connecting portion 9 is bent downward, and the angle α between the side projection of the connecting portion 9 and the side projection of the gripping portion 8 is 0 to 90°. This arrangement enables the head of the anther removal tool (i.e., the collecting wing 1) to bend downward naturally when removing the anther 14, making it convenient to enter the corolla to remove the anther 14 and avoid fatigue caused by discomfort in the position or direction of wrist force.

[0040] When the anther removal tool has only one collecting wing 1, the length of the removal tooth 3 is set to be greater than the length of the anther 14 so that the anther 14 will not fall off from the filament channel 4 when the collecting wing 1 is tilted. At this time, the anti-falloff device is a removal tooth 3 whose length is not less than the length of the anther 14.

[0041] When the anther removal tool has two collecting wings 1, the handles 7 of the two collecting wings 1 are arranged to cross to form a scissor-like structure, and the two handles 7 are hinged at the intersection, so that the opening / closing of the two collecting wings 1 can be controlled by operating the handles 7, and the removal teeth 3 are located on the side where the two collecting wings 1 are close to each other, and the filament channels 4 corresponding to each other in the two collecting wings 1 can form a circumferentially closed hole 10, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the hole 10 is larger than the maximum cross-sectional area of ​​the filament 15 but smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the anther 14, and the collecting cavities 2 of the two collecting wings 1 are connected to each other to form a large accommodating cavity 11. At this time, the anti-slip device is the inner wall of the removal teeth 3 of the collecting wing 1 that is not used to store anthers 14, that is, a part of the inner wall of the hole 10, which is far away from the part of the accommodating cavity 11 used to store anthers 14.

[0042] The two collecting wings 1 constituting the anther removal tool are respectively referred to as the left collecting wing and the right collecting wing, wherein the left collecting wing is the collecting wing 1 located on the left side of the hinge point, and the right collecting wing is the collecting wing 1 located on the right side of the hinge point. When in use, the handle 7 is held to tilt the anther removal tool to one side of the left collecting wing or the right collecting wing, so that the left collecting wing or the right collecting wing is located at the lower part of the anther 14, and then the anther 14 can be removed from the top of the filament 15 by slightly lifting it upward. The removed anther 14 and the scattered pollen fall into the collecting cavity 2 of the left collecting wing or the right collecting wing, and will not fall from the hole 10. As a preferred embodiment of the present application, when the two wings are closed, the left collecting wing and the right collecting wing form a scroll-like structure, and its cross section is an open ellipse, and the major axis a of the ellipse is (0.2-6) ± 0.5 cm, and the minor axis b is (0.1-5) ± 0.3 cm. The length c of the roll-like structure is (2-10) ± 0.5 cm, and the corresponding removal teeth 3 at the bottom of the left collecting wing and the right collecting wing intersect to form an angle ε of 20-170°, and form 5-6 holes 10, and the diameter of the holes 10 is distributed between 0.2-1.2 cm. Since the anther removal tool needs to be tilted to one side during use, the volume of the collection chamber 2 designed for storing anthers 14 is larger than the volume of the other collection chamber 2 not used for storing anthers 14, so as to increase the number of anthers 14 that can be collected at one time. Since most people hold the handle 7 with their right hand, the present application preferably has a larger volume of the collection chamber 2 of the left collecting wing than that of the right collecting wing, so as to meet the usage habits of most people. Preferably, when the lengths are equal, the width of the left collecting wing is 1 / 3-1 / 2 wider than that of the right collecting wing, and specifically, the width of the left collecting wing is 1 ± 0.5 cm wider than that of the right collecting wing. To facilitate the pouring of the collected anthers 14, an outlet 12 is provided at the top of the accommodating cavity 11. The width of the outlet 12 is smaller than the diameter of the anther 14 to prevent the anther from popping out of the accommodating cavity 11 from the outlet 12 when the anther 14 is removed. When the anther 14 needs to be poured out, the outlet 12 is facing downward and the left collecting wing and the right collecting wing are opened to pour out the collected anther 14. By providing the outlet 12, the left collecting wing and the right collecting wing can be prevented from buckling inward on the side opposite to the removal tooth 3, thereby avoiding the problem of part of the anther 14 entering the inward buckled part of the collecting wing and being inconvenient to be poured out when the anther 14 is poured out.

[0043] See also Fig. 9 The lily flower includes petals 13, anthers 14, filaments 15, stigma 16 and style 17. If the style 17 is not considered to be left, the removal operation of 6 anthers can be completed at one time; if the style 17 is considered to be left, the 6 anthers need to be removed from both sides of the style 17 in 2 times.

[0044] It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, so it is intended to include all changes within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims in the present invention, and any figure mark in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.
