Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of watermelon and melon pollination devices, specifically a pollination device for agricultural watermelon and melon cultivation. Background Technology
[0002] Watermelon is a variety of watermelon. Because it looks like a watermelon but is the size of a cantaloupe, it is also known as "mini watermelon". As an important economic crop, watermelon occupies an important position in agricultural production. Pollination is a key link in the watermelon planting process, and its effect directly affects the yield and quality of the fruit.
[0003] Traditional pollination methods for watermelons and melons mainly rely on manual pollination. While manual pollination can ensure pollination effectiveness to a certain extent, it is difficult to control the amount of pollen applied each time. If too little pollen is applied, it is difficult to improve the pollination efficiency of watermelons and melons. However, if too much pollen is applied, it will not only be wasteful but also clog the stigma, affecting the germination and growth of pollen tubes. In short, both too much and too little pollen will affect the fruit set rate.
[0004] In order to avoid the problem of too much or too little pollen affecting the results of watermelon and melon cultivation, this application proposes a pollination device for agricultural watermelon and melon cultivation. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a pollination device for agricultural melon cultivation, which can quantitatively collect pollen before it is released.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] Please see Figures 1-4A pollination device for watermelons and melons includes a device box 1. A handle 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the device box 1. A spray pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the lower inner wall of the left side of the device box 1 and extends through both the inner and outer sides of the device box 1. A transition pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the spray pipe 3. A base 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the transition pipe 14. A turntable 17 is rotatably connected to the top of the base 18. A storage tank 8 is rotatably connected to the top of the turntable 17. A discharge port 19 is opened on the front side of the bottom of the storage tank 8. A discharge groove 20 is opened on the inner wall of the front of the turntable 17. A second discharge port 21 is opened on the inner wall of the base 18 above the transition pipe 14. The second discharge port 21, the discharge groove 20, and the discharge... The inner wall shape of the feed inlet 19 fits perfectly. The lower side of the outer wall of the storage barrel 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the device box 1. The outer wall of the turntable 17 is fixedly connected to the toothed ring 13. The rear end of the inner wall of the device box 1 is fixedly connected to the left side of the toothed ring 13. The inner wall of the right end of the toothed ring 11 is slidably connected to the rack 12. The right end of the rack 12 is meshed with the left end of the outer diameter of the toothed ring 13. The front end of the rack 12 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 22. The outer wall of the slide rod 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the front end of the device box 1. The front end of the slide rod 22 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 23. The rear end of the pressure plate 23 is fixedly connected to the outside of the slide rod 22. The rear end of the spring 24 is fixedly connected to the front end of the device box 1.
[0027] To further explain, firstly, the storage tank 8 contains a certain amount of pollen. When the pollination work begins, the pressure plate 23 is pressed backward. The pressure plate 23 pushes the slide rod 22 to slide inside the device box 1, while squeezing the spring 24. The slide rod 22 pushes the rack 12 to slide backward on the inner wall of the slide frame 11, causing the toothed ring 13 that meshes with it to rotate. This causes the discharge trough 20 in the turntable 17 to rotate towards the discharge port 21. Since the discharge trough 20 and the discharge port 19 are pre-connected, the pollen will fall into the discharge trough 20 and fill it. As the turntable 17 rotates, the pollen in the discharge trough 20 is smoothed by the bottom of the storage tank 8 and moves to the discharge port 21. Under the action of gravity, it falls and falls into the spray pipe 3 along the transition pipe 14, completing the quantitative collection of pollen.
[0028] Afterwards, the pressure plate 23 is released, and the elastic force of the spring 24 causes the pressure plate 23 to return to its original position. The slide rod 22 pulls the rack 12 forward, and the gear ring 13 drives the turntable 17 to rotate. The discharge trough 20 returns to its original position, and some pollen in the storage tank 8 falls from the discharge port 19 into the discharge trough 20 to fill it.
[0029] Example 2
[0030] Please see Figures 5-6Further, based on the first embodiment, an exhaust pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the right end of the nozzle 3 and passes through both the inside and outside of the nozzle 3. The front end of the exhaust pipe 4 passes through the outer wall of the device box 1 and is fixedly connected to a one-way valve 5. An air bag 6 is fixedly connected to the input end of the one-way valve 5. A motor 9 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the storage tank 8. A feed pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the storage tank 8. The drive end of the motor 9 passes through the inner wall of the storage tank 8 and is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 15. A stirring rack 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting rod 15. A rubber stopper 7 is provided on the upper side of the inner wall of the feed pipe 10. The shape of the bottom end of the rubber stopper 7 matches the shape of the inner wall of the feed pipe 10.
[0031] To explain further, the nozzle 3 outlet is aligned with the stamen of the petal to be pollinated, and the air bag 6 is squeezed. The gas in the air bag 6 is discharged from the exhaust pipe 4 through the one-way valve 5 into the nozzle 3 to form an airflow. The airflow carries the pollen and is sprayed out from the nozzle 3 outlet, falling onto the stamen, thus completing the pollination of the watermelon.
[0032] When pollen is stored in storage tank 8, the motor 9 is started by pressing the switch. The drive end of the motor 9 drives the stirring frame 16 to rotate through the connecting rod 15, thereby stirring the pollen in storage tank 8, improving the pollen's fluidity, and causing the pollen to be discharged downward from the outlet 19. If there is not enough pollen in storage tank 8, the rubber stopper 7 can be removed, and then the pollen can be poured into storage tank 8. After pouring in a certain amount, the rubber stopper 7 can be reinserted into the upper side of the inner wall of the feed pipe 10. One end of the motor 9 is connected to the power cord, and the other end of the power cord is connected to the power battery. The battery in the figure is only for illustration. In actual process, this part needs to be covered to avoid the risk of electric leakage.
[0033] Working principle: First, remove the rubber stopper 7 from the top of the feed pipe 10, then pour the pollen into the storage tank 8. After pouring in a certain amount, replace the rubber stopper 7 on the inner wall of the feed pipe 10. Then, press the switch to start the motor 9, which drives the stirring frame 16 through the connecting rod 15 to stir the pollen in the storage tank 8, thereby improving the flowability of the pollen in the storage tank 8 and promoting the pollen to be discharged downward from the outlet 19. Then, start the pollination work. Hold the handle 2 and press the pressure plate 23 backward to push the slide rod 22 to slide in the device box 1, while squeezing the spring 24. Then, under the push of the slide rod 22, the rack 12 slides backward on the inner wall of the slide frame 11, thereby driving the toothed ring 13 on one side to rotate, which in turn drives the discharge trough 20 in the turntable 17 to rotate towards the discharge port 21. Since the discharge trough 20 and the discharge port 19 are pre-connected, the pollen will fall into the discharge trough 20. The pollen in the discharge trough 20 is filled, and then, under the rotation of the turntable 17, the pollen in the discharge trough 20 is leveled at the bottom of the storage tank 8 and moves to the discharge port 21. Under the action of gravity, it falls from the discharge port 21 and then falls into the spray pipe 3 along the transition pipe 14, thus completing the quantitative collection of pollen before it is released. Then, the pressure plate 23 is released, and under the elastic force of the spring 24, the pressure plate 23 is reset. Then, the rack 12 is pulled forward by the slide rod 22. The toothed ring 13 drives the turntable 17 to rotate, thereby resetting the discharge trough 20. Then, some of the pollen in the storage tank 8 will fall back into the discharge trough 20 from the discharge port 19 to fill it. After that, the nozzle 3 outlet is aligned with the stamen of the pollinated petals, and the air bag 6 is squeezed, so that the gas in the air bag 6 is discharged from the exhaust pipe 4 through the one-way valve 5 into the nozzle 3 to form an airflow. The airflow carries the pollen out from the nozzle 3 outlet and sprays it onto the stamen, completing the pollination of the watermelon.
