Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pollen collection equipment, specifically a pollen collection and extraction device for maize breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Since natural pollination of maize is greatly affected by the weather, artificial pollination is an important measure to increase maize seed production in the propagation of maize parent seeds and the production of hybrid maize seeds in order to ensure stable pollination. Artificial pollination involves collecting pollen produced by the anthers of the maize tassel florets and transferring it to the style of the maize female ear to fertilize and set the seed.

[0003] Some existing pollen collection devices for maize breeding involve placing a cone-shaped collection hood over the outside of the maize ear and manually shaking it to dislodge the pollen. This method is prone to damaging the maize ear due to the strong shaking force. Therefore, we propose a new pollen collection device for maize breeding. Utility Model Content

Compared with the existing manual shaking collection, this device has the advantages of simple collection and no damage to the maize ear.

[0028] Figures 1-4 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of one embodiment of a pollen collection and extraction device for maize breeding according to this utility model. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-4 The pollen collection device for maize breeding according to this embodiment includes a main part of a pipe assembly 100, a blowing and adsorption assembly 200 and a collection box 300.

[0029] The pipe assembly 100 includes a first pipe 110 and a second pipe 120 vertically fixed to the upper side of the outer wall of the first pipe 110. The first pipe 110 and the second pipe 120 are connected. A handle 111 is fixed to the lower side of the outer wall of the first pipe 110. Preferably, in this embodiment, an opening 121 is provided at the end of the second pipe 120. The opening 121 at the end of the second pipe 120 is used to place corn cobs, so that the corn cobs are closer to the second pipe 120, which is more conducive to the collection and extraction of corn cobs.

[0030] The blower adsorption assembly 200 includes a first motor 210 disposed at the upper end of the first pipe 110, a first fan blade 220 disposed at the output end of the first motor 210 and located inside the upper side of the first pipe 110, a second motor 230 disposed at the end of the second pipe 120, and a second fan blade 240 disposed at the output end of the second motor 230. The second fan blade 240 is located outside the second pipe 120. A connecting rod 231 is fixed to the upper end of the second motor 230 and is mounted on the second pipe 120. Preferably, in this embodiment, the upper end of the second pipe 120 is fixed with a first connecting part 122, and a mounting bolt 123 is provided on the outside of the first connecting part 122. The connecting rod 231 is disposed in the first connecting part 122, and the mounting bolt 123 passes through the first connecting part 122 to the connecting rod 231. Under the action of the first connecting part 122, the connecting rod 231 is installed on the second pipe 120 by the mounting bolt 123. Later, the operator can remove the mounting bolt 123 to remove the connecting rod 231 from the second pipe 120, and then remove the second motor 230 and the second fan blade 240 for disassembly and maintenance.

[0031] A collection box 300 is installed at the lower end of the first pipe 110 and is connected to the first pipe 110. An air outlet is provided in the middle of the lower end of the collection box 300, and a filter screen 301 is installed inside the air outlet. Preferably, in this embodiment, an observation window 302 is provided in the middle of the front end of the collection box 300. The observation window 302 on the collection box 300 allows the operator to observe the amount of pollen collected in the collection box 300. A second connecting part 303 is provided on the outer side of the middle of the upper end of the collection box 300. The second connecting part 303 is threadedly connected to the first pipe 110. The collection box 300 is threadedly installed on the first pipe 110 under the action of the second connecting part 303. Later, the operator can manually rotate the collection box 300 to remove it from the first pipe 110 so as to take out the pollen collected inside. Two filters 301 are provided. The two filters 301 further enhance the filtration of pollen and prevent pollen from passing through the filters 301.

[0032] Combination Figures 1-4 This embodiment of a pollen collection device for maize breeding is used as follows: The operator picks up the entire device using handle 111, brings the end of the second pipe 120 close to the corn cob, and positions the corn cob within the opening 121 of the second pipe 120. Then, the first motor 210 and the second motor 230 are started. The first motor 210 and the second motor 230 drive the first fan blade 220 and the second fan blade 240 to rotate, causing the second pipe 120 to generate a strong suction force, thereby sucking the pollen from the corn cob into the pipe, where it is finally collected by the collection box 300. Compared with existing manual shaking collection, this device has the advantages of simple collection and no damage to the corn cob. The observation window 302 on the collection box 300 allows the operator to easily observe the amount of pollen collected in the collection box 300. After a certain amount of pollen has been collected, the operator can manually rotate the collection box 300 to remove it from the first pipe 110 to extract the collected pollen.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
