Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pepper breeding device, concretely is a pepper male flower taking device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Peppers are a widely cultivated and deeply loved vegetable crop, playing an important role in agricultural production around the world. In order to breed pepper varieties with excellent traits, such as higher yield, stronger disease and pest resistance, and better quality (such as appropriate spiciness and good fruit appearance), hybrid breeding is a commonly used and crucial technique. During pepper hybrid breeding, taking the stamen of pepper male flowers is an indispensable step, which is related to the success rate of subsequent hybrid pollination and whether ideal hybrid offspring can be obtained.

[0003] Due to the relatively small size of pepper male flowers and the delicate structure of their stamens, it is difficult to quickly and efficiently complete the stamen taking operation by manual operation. In large-scale pepper hybrid breeding scenarios, a large number of pepper male flowers often need to be processed, and the low efficiency of manual stamen taking becomes even more prominent. This not only lengthens the entire hybrid breeding cycle and increases labor costs.

[0004] In the patent with application number CN202221421414.8, a tomato dehulling and stamen taking tool is disclosed, which includes two cross-shaped clamping units. Each clamping unit includes a clamping plate, a connecting rod, and a handle. Each connecting rod is connected to a clamping plate and a handle at both ends. Each clamping plate has at least one semicircular cutter at the end away from the handle. The two semicircular cutters at the corresponding positions are closed together to form a circular cavity that matches the outer diameter of the corresponding part of the tomato pistil. The two connecting rods are oppositely cross-shaped and are connected by a pin shaft at the intersection. This design can facilitate manual stamen taking and improve the efficiency of stamen taking to some extent. However, this tool still requires manual stamen taking one by one, and when the amount of stamen taking is large, the problem of low efficiency still exists. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] Embodiment:

[0026] A pepper male flower core removing device, comprising a feeding device and a processing device, wherein the feeding device is connected with the processing device, and the feeding device is used for conveying pepper male flowers to the processing device; the processing device comprises a support frame 7, an installation shell 1, a fan moving piece 15 and a driving device; the installation shell 1 is fixedly connected with the support frame 7, a spiral channel is arranged in the installation shell 1, a feeding inlet 14 is arranged at the top of the installation shell 1, and a discharge port 10 is arranged on the side wall of the installation shell 1; the fan moving piece 15 is rotationally connected in the installation shell 1, the driving device is fixedly connected with the support frame 7, and the output shaft of the driving device extends into the installation shell 1 and is fixedly connected with the fan moving piece 15.

[0027] Specifically, in use, the picked male flowers are put into the processing device through the feeding device, which includes but is not limited to a hopper and a storage bag. At the same time, the driving device drives the fan element 15 to rotate. The male flowers enter the installation shell 1 and come into contact with the fan element 15. The rotating fan element 15 disperses the male flowers so that the stamens are separated. At the same time, the fan element 15 forms an air flow when rotating, which carries the dispersed male flowers to the discharge port 10. The separated male flowers and stamens are discharged from the discharge port 10. The spiral channel is to ensure that the fan element 15 hits the male flowers against the inner wall of the installation shell 1 when hitting the male flowers, so as to ensure that the male flowers are dispersed, that is, to ensure that the stamens in the male flowers are separated.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the discharge port 10 protrudes outward and is provided with a connecting portion 9. The connecting portion 9 is used to facilitate the connection of a collecting bag or other collecting device. The connecting portion 9 enables the separated male flowers and stamens and other substances discharged from the discharge port 10 to enter the collecting device in a more smooth manner, avoiding the problem of material spilling due to poor connection between the discharge port 10 and the collecting device, and effectively reducing the waste of materials.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the fan element 15 includes a connecting disc 20 and a hitting blade 19. The hitting blade 19 is uniformly and spacedly arranged on the connecting disc 20 in the circumferential direction. The uniformly distributed hitting blades 19 can fully and uniformly hit the male flowers of the chilies entering the installation shell 1 when the connecting disc 20 rotates. When the male flowers of the chilies enter the installation shell 1 and come into contact with the fan element 15, the male flowers at each position have the opportunity to be hit by the hitting blade 19, greatly improving the probability of the male flowers being dispersed, and thereby ensuring that the stamens can be more effectively separated from the male flowers. Secondly, the design of the spaced arrangement avoids the mutual interference between the hitting blades 19, so that each hitting blade 19 can fully play its role and improve the work efficiency. At the same time, this arrangement can also form a relatively uniform air flow during the rotation of the fan element 15, which is conducive to the smooth transportation of the dispersed male flowers and separated stamens to the discharge port 10, ensuring the smoothness and efficiency of the entire stamen removal process.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the driving device includes a first motor 11 and a connecting seat 18, the connecting seat 18 is fixedly connected with the support frame 7, and the first motor 11 is connected with the connecting seat 18. The connecting seat 18 provides a stable mounting platform for the first motor 11, so that the first motor 11 can operate in a relatively stable environment, reducing the damage to the motor caused by vibration and shaking, prolonging the service life of the motor. At the same time, the connecting seat 18 can also uniformly disperse the force generated by the motor to the support frame 7, ensuring the structural stability of the entire device. The first motor 11 serves as the power source of the driving device, providing strong and stable power for the rotation of the fan element 15. By precisely controlling the rotational speed and torque of the motor, the rotational speed of the fan element 15 can be adjusted according to different working requirements, thereby achieving precise control of the effect of removing the stamens of the pepper male flowers. In large-scale pepper male flower stamen removal work, the efficient and stable driving device can ensure the efficient and continuous operation of the entire stamen removal process, greatly improving the work efficiency and reducing the labor cost.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the feeding device includes a feeding hopper 4, a feeding pipe 6, a conveying shaft 17, a conveying blade 16, and a feeding pipe 2; the feeding pipe 2 is connected to the feeding port 14 on the installation shell 1, the feeding pipe 6 and the feeding hopper 4 are fixedly connected with the support frame 7, the feeding hopper 4 is arranged above the feeding pipe 6 and communicates with the feeding pipe 6; the conveying shaft 17 is rotationally connected with the feeding pipe 6, the conveying blade 16 is connected with the conveying shaft 17 and located in the feeding pipe 6, and the conveying blade 16 is in a spiral structure; one end of the conveying shaft 17 is also connected with a rotating device.

[0032] The conveying shaft 17 rotates under the drive of the rotating device, and the spiral conveying blade 16 rotates accordingly. This spiral conveying method can efficiently convey the pepper male flowers from one end of the feeding pipe 6 to the other end, and the conveying speed and quantity can be controlled by adjusting the rotational speed of the conveying shaft 17 to meet different working requirements. Compared with the traditional gravity conveying method, spiral conveying can more accurately control the conveying of materials, avoiding the problems of material accumulation and blockage. The feeding pipe 2 connects the feeding pipe 6 and the feeding port 14 of the installation shell 1, so that the pepper male flowers can smoothly enter the processing device from the feeding device, ensuring the continuity of the entire stamen removal device working process.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the side walls on both sides of the feeding hopper 4 is inclined to the middle. This way of inclining the bottom of the side walls on both sides to the middle can play a good guiding role. When the pepper male flowers are placed into the feeding hopper 4, under the action of gravity, the male flowers will naturally converge to the middle position along the inclined side walls, so that the male flowers can be orderly and concentratedly conveyed to the subsequent processing device connected with the feeding hopper 4, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of feeding.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the feeding pipe 2 is provided with an air inlet 3. The air inlet 3 is used to better guide the air flow into the installation shell 1, to ensure that a stable air flow is formed in the installation shell 1, that is, to ensure that the pistils can be discharged from the discharge port 10.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the rotating device comprises a second motor 8, a driving wheel 12, a driven wheel 13 and a belt; the second motor 8 is connected with the support frame 7, the driving wheel 12 is connected with the output shaft of the second motor 8, the driven wheel 13 is connected with the conveying shaft 17, and the driving wheel 12 and the driven wheel 13 are connected through the belt. Among them, the second motor 8 serves as a power source, and the power is transmitted from the second motor 8 to the conveying shaft 17 through the combination of the driving wheel 12, the driven wheel 13 and the belt.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the feeding hopper 4 is provided with an upwardly turned outer edge and forms a feeding port 5. By providing such an upwardly turned outer edge, it is convenient to put the male flowers, and at the same time, such a design also facilitates the closure of the feeding port 5.
