Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a contact-type manual pollinator, which comprises a light-transmitting powder storage tube with two ends being transparent, a hollow push tube arranged in the powder storage tube, and a soft plug arranged at one end of the push tube. Background Art

[0002] In the field of plant pollination, due to the influence of climate temperature and pesticides, crop pollination by insects and wind can no longer meet the development needs of modern agriculture, especially fruit tree pollination, which must rely on human intervention to increase fruit yield and improve fruit quality. In the kiwifruit field, because of its poor self-pollination ability, female and male plants are planted separately, and artificial pollination becomes more important. Pollinators are often used for artificial pollination now. There are various types of pollinators on the market, including manual and electric ones. Electric ones are highly efficient, but also expensive, so their popularization and promotion are subject to certain restrictions. There are many kinds of manual pollinators, some of which rely on airflow to blow out pollen to achieve pollination. Chinese utility model patent specification CN205213694U discloses an artificial pollinator, whose structure includes a pollinator nozzle, a bent nozzle, a pollinator nozzle, a pressurized air bag, a pollen funnel and a pollen storage device. The principle is that by squeezing the pressurized air bag, the pollen coming down from the pollen storage is ejected from the pollinator nozzle by the airflow. The bent nozzle can adjust the angle of the pollinator nozzle, which can be used for flowers at different angles. This type of pollinator has unstable pollen production. It can be used for pollination of peppers or short and small-scale breeding crops. For kiwifruit crops, vines generally climb on a one-meter-high rack. When blooming, most of the flowers face the ground. When using a pollinator with this structure to pollinate upright, the pollen basically cannot come out. During horizontal pollination, although the pollen can be sprayed out, it is impossible to reach the flowers on the one-meter-high vine rack. Therefore, it is not suitable for kiwifruit pollination. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a pollinator that can easily reach kiwifruit flowers of different heights, can perform contact pollination, improve pollination reliability, and make pollen replenishment convenient without wasting pollen. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a contact-type manual pollinator. When using the device to pollinate fruit trees such as kiwi, flowers of different heights can be pollinated, and the pollen directly contacts the stamens, so the pollination is reliable, no pollen is wasted, and the efficiency is high.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a contact-type manual pollinator including a light-transmitting powder storage tube with both ends transparent, a hollow push tube installed in the powder storage tube and acting as a piston, and a soft plug installed at one end of the push tube. A funnel-shaped powder receiving cover is installed on the outside of the powder storage tube, and the large port of the powder receiving cover faces the pollination end of the powder storage tube, and the upper and lower positions of the powder receiving cover can be adjusted according to needs.

[0005] By installing a funnel-shaped pollen collecting cover on the outside of the pollen storage tube, excess pollen falling from the stamens can be collected during the pollination process to avoid waste; the large port of the pollen collecting cover is directed toward the pollination end of the pollen storage tube, so that the large port faces upward during pollination, and the fallen pollen is collected in the pollen collecting cover and finally collected at the root of the pollen collecting cover. The upper and lower positions of the pollen collecting cover are adjusted as needed, so that the pollen collected at the root can be returned to the pollen storage tube by moving the pollen collecting cover upward, thereby improving pollen utilization rate.

[0006] As an improvement of the present invention, the cone angle of the pollen collecting cover is set between 20° and 160°. When this cone angle is adopted, the pollen collecting cover will not block other flowers during pollination and can also conveniently receive pollen dropped from the stamens.

[0007] As another improvement to the present invention, the soft plug is configured as an elastic, round plug made of fluff, cotton cloth, or sponge. This structure allows for easy attachment to the end of the push tube to eject pollen from the powder storage tube. Using fluff as the soft plug not only reduces resistance between the push tube and the powder storage tube but also protects the stigma. Using cotton cloth can also achieve the same effect. A sponge, being fluffy and soft, not only acts as a piston to eject pollen but also cleans pollen adhering to the sidewalls of the powder storage tube, facilitating real-time observation.

[0008] The present invention can also be further improved by setting the powder receiving cover and the powder storage tube as an integral structure made of light-transmitting plastic, so that mass production can be achieved through injection molding or blow molding. This is not only light and durable to use, but also has low production costs and good light transmittance.

[0009] When the utility model is further improved, a plugging cap can be set at the top of the pollen storage tube to cover the top of the pollen storage tube when not pollinating to prevent pollen from spilling. The material is plastic or rubber. The transparent plugging cap made of PVC material is simple and beautiful. If silicone is used, it will be more elastic and prevent it from falling off.

[0011] Attachment Figure 2 It is a front perspective view of the structure of the utility model. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] The specific implementation of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] As attached Figure 1As shown: A contact-type manual pollinator includes a powder storage tube 1 with transparent ends, a hollow push tube 3 installed inside the powder storage tube 1 and acting as a piston, and a soft plug 4 installed at one end of the push tube 3. A funnel-shaped powder receiving cover 2 is installed on the outside of the powder storage tube 1. The large end of the powder receiving cover 2 faces the pollination end of the powder storage tube 1, and the upper and lower positions of the powder receiving cover 2 can be adjusted as needed.

[0014] A funnel-shaped pollen collecting cover 2 is installed on the outside of the pollen storage tube 1, which can catch excess pollen falling from the stamens during pollination to avoid waste. The large port of the pollen collecting cover 2 is facing the pollination end of the pollen storage tube 1. In this way, the large port faces upward during pollination, and the fallen pollen is collected in the pollen collecting cover 2 and finally gathered at the root of the pollen collecting cover 2. The upper and lower positions of the pollen collecting cover 2 are adjusted as needed, so that the pollen collected at its root can be returned to the pollen storage tube 1 by moving the pollen collecting cover 2 upward, thereby improving the pollen utilization rate.

[0015] As attached Figure 2 As shown, the cone angle of the powder receiving cover 2 is set between 20 ° and 160 °. As 120 ° is preferably adopted, after adopting this cone angle, the size and guidance of the powder receiving cover 2 are just right, and other flowers will not be blocked during pollination. It is also possible to conveniently receive the pollen falling from the stamens and gather it at the root of the powder receiving cover 2, saving powder and effort without waste. A soft plug 4 is provided at the top of the push tube 3. It is a resilient round plug made of materials such as fine hair, cotton cloth, and sponge. Such material has a large elasticity and is just right for the friction with the powder storage tube 1 when used as a piston. It can also clean the pollen remaining on the inner wall of the powder storage tube 1, making it convenient to observe the remainder of the pollen in real time.

[0016] Another embodiment of the present invention is to form a powder receiving cover 2 and a powder storage tube 1 as an integral structure, and the material is a light-transmitting plastic, for example, PVC, PU, PE, PP, ABS and other plastic materials. As a preferred embodiment, PVC can be used, which not only has good light transmittance but also has low cost. These materials can be used to achieve mass production through injection molding, which is not only light and durable, but also has low production cost and is easy to promote and popularize. A plugging cap 5 can also be provided at the top of the powder storage tube 1 to cover the top of the powder storage tube 1 when not pollinating to prevent pollen from spilling. The material is plastic or rubber. The transparent plugging cap made of PVC material is simple and beautiful. If silicone is used, it is more elastic and prevents falling off. Soft PVC is preferably used.

[0017] When in use, pollen is placed in a pollen storage tube 1, a powder receiving cover 2 is sleeved on the outer side of the pollen storage tube 1, and a push tube 3 serving as a piston is installed inside the pollen storage tube 1. During pollination, the pollen in the pollen storage tube 1 is aligned with the stamen and touched to the stamen, so that the pollen in the pollen storage tube 1 is stained on the stamen to complete the pollination. If the pollen gradually decreases, the push tube 3 is pushed to replenish the pollen at any time to complete the pollination. The pollen receiving cover 2 can collect the pollen dropped from the stamen to prevent it from falling and being wasted.

[0018] The above description of the implementation mode of the present invention in combination with the accompanying drawings is detailed, but the present invention is not limited to the above implementation mode. Even if various changes are made to the present invention, as long as a piston and a push rod are installed in a tube with two transparent ends and a funnel-shaped pollen receiving tray is installed on the outside for pollination, the device falls within the scope of protection of the present invention.
