The pollination drone 10 is provided as the main support of the entire device. The pollen is pumped into the pollen container 20 and the pollen is collected by the pump 32. The pollen is then collected by the pump 32 and the pollen is then collected by the pump 32. The pollen is then collected by the pump 32 and the pollen is collected by the pump 32. The pollen is then collected by the pump 32 and the pollen is collected by the pump 32.

[0031] It is worth noting that 4-6 sets of drone wings 11 are connected to the pollination drone body 10, so that the pollination drone can fly stably and flexibly above the canopy of the thin-shelled pecan tree, ensuring that the coverage of the pollination operation is wide and accurate.

[0032] Furthermore, a battery 12 for providing electrical energy is installed in the pollination drone body 10, providing the drone with long-lasting and reliable electrical energy support, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of pollination operations, and completing large-scale pollination without the need for frequent replacement of power supplies.

[0033] Specifically, a threaded plug 22 with a through hole is provided at the feeding port 13 , and the outer wall of the threaded plug 22 is connected to the outer wall of the liquid pollen tube 20 via a connecting rope 23 , which facilitates the addition of liquid pollen and avoids the loss of the threaded plug 22 .

[0034] Among them, a connecting ring seat 21 is provided at the bottom edge of the liquid pollen tube 20, and the connecting ring seat 21 is connected to the top surface of the pollination drone body 10 through at least three groups of evenly and equidistantly arranged fixing bolts, which is convenient for installation or disassembly.

At the same time, it also ensures a tight connection between the atomizing nozzle 31 and the delivery tube 32, avoiding leakage of liquid pollen and ensuring the pollination effect.

[0036] The working principle of the thin-shell pecan full-crown pollination device of the utility model is as follows:

[0037] First, the operator needs to add liquid pollen into the liquid pollen tube 20 through the feeding port 13. The threaded plug 22 at the feeding port 13 is connected to the liquid pollen tube 20 via a connecting rope 23 to ensure that the threaded plug 22 will not be lost after adding the liquid pollen. After the liquid pollen is added, the stirring motor 40 is started. Its output shaft drives the stirring blade 41 to rotate in the liquid pollen tube 20, fully stirring the liquid pollen to ensure that the pollen is evenly distributed and prevent precipitation.

[0038] Next, the battery 12 on the pollination drone body 10 is fully charged to ensure that the drone has enough power to support the entire pollination process; then, the pollination drone is driven by the wings 11 to take off and fly stably above the crown of the thin-shelled pecan tree;

[0039] During flight, the hydraulic pump 30 is activated, and liquid pollen is extracted and transported to the atomizing nozzle 31 at the bottom through the delivery pipe 32. The atomizing nozzle 31 is tightly connected to the delivery pipe 32 via a threaded connector 33 to ensure that the liquid pollen does not leak. When the liquid pollen reaches the atomizing nozzle 31, it is atomized into tiny particles and evenly sprayed on the tree crown, achieving full-crown pollination.

[0040] After pollination is completed, the operator needs to land the pollination drone safely and turn off all power supplies; finally, the liquid pollen tube 20 is removed from the pollination drone body 10 for cleaning and maintenance in preparation for next use.

[0041] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
