Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gourd pollination technology, and in particular to a gourd pollinator. Background Technology
[0002] Zucchini is a dioecious crop, and artificial pollination is necessary under greenhouse cultivation conditions.
[0003] Publication number CN216961051U, entitled "A Novel Pollination Device for Zucchini Cultivation," discloses: a pollination gun body, with a handle integrally formed at one end of the pollination gun body, and a pollination tube extending into the interior of the pollination gun body fixedly connected to the other end. A motor drives a rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives multiple stirring blades to rotate, thereby stirring and mixing the pollen inside the pollen storage tank, preventing pollen from clumping and causing blockage at the connecting tube, thus ensuring the normal operation of the equipment. The pollination and pollen filling operations are controlled simultaneously by a single switch, making control convenient and improving pollination efficiency. This solves the problems of existing pollination devices for zucchini cultivation, such as simple structure, single function, low pollination efficiency, and easy clogging of pollen feed, which prevents normal pollination.
[0004] The above-mentioned information can solve the problem of pollen clogging, but current pollination is all done manually, requiring workers to hold the pollination device and contact it with the flower stamen. This process is labor-intensive and inefficient. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model discloses a gourd pollinator, which aims to solve the technical problem that current pollination is all done manually, requiring workers to hold the pollination device and contact it with the flower stamen for a long time, resulting in high labor intensity and low efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A gourd pollinator includes a water delivery pipe, an atomizing nozzle fixedly installed at the output end of the water delivery pipe, a mixing device fixedly installed around the periphery of the water delivery pipe, and a spiral pipe fixedly installed around the periphery of the water delivery pipe and between the atomizing nozzle and the mixing device. The mixing device includes a mixing tube, and a pollen adding device is inserted into the periphery of the mixing tube. The pollen adding device includes a storage tank, and the storage tank is connected to the inside of the mixing tube.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the storage tank is specifically a barrel-shaped structure with an open top, an injection port is fixedly connected to the upper half of the storage tank's periphery, a tubular plug is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage tank, and an insertion port is provided on the periphery of the mixing tube.
[0009] Pollen and purified water are introduced into the storage tank through injection ports on the periphery, and a tubular plug is inserted into the mixing tube through an insertion port.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a squeeze plug is slidably connected between the inner walls of the storage tank. The squeeze plug is specifically a barrel-shaped structure with an open top. The height of the squeeze plug is the same as the height of the storage tank. A sealing plug is provided inside the insertion port. The tubular plug passes through the sealing plug and extends into the mixing tube.
[0011] By setting a squeeze plug, the squeeze plug moves downward, squeezing and driving pollen into the mixing device. The squeeze plug has a barrel-shaped structure, which ensures that the injection port is always sealed when it moves downward, preventing subsequent pure water from flowing above the squeeze plug and causing leakage.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a counterweight is disposed above the compression plug, and the counterweight is fixedly connected to the compression plug via a connecting rod.
[0013] By setting a counterweight, the weight of which is greater than the frictional resistance generated when the squeeze plug moves downward, the squeeze plug can be squeezed and moved downward under the action of gravity, thereby forcing the pollen into the mixing device.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a stirring assembly is provided inside the mixing tube, the stirring assembly including fan blades that are rotatably disposed inside the mixing tube.
[0015] By setting up a stirring component, the water flow is disturbed when the stirring component rotates, so that the pollen is initially mixed in the mixing device. The flow of water will drive the fan blades to rotate, thereby disturbing the direction of the water flow.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, a T-shaped ring block is fixedly connected to the periphery of the fan blade, and a T-shaped ring groove matching the T-shaped ring block is formed on the periphery of the mixing tube.
[0017] By setting T-shaped ring blocks and T-shaped ring grooves, the rotation of the fan blades becomes more stable.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, a one-way valve is fixedly installed inside the tubular plug.
[0019] By setting a one-way valve, which is an existing technology, pollen and purified water can flow into the mixing tube, but the water in the mixing tube will not flow back into the storage tank.
[0020] As can be seen from the above, the gourd pollinator provided by this utility model has the following technical effects.
[0021] Firstly, by installing a mixing device around the water pipe used to increase humidity in the greenhouse, and connecting the mixing device to the pollen adding device, pollen and purified water are mixed in the storage tank inside the pollen adding device. This allows the pollen to slowly enter the mixing device along with the purified water, and then be sprayed out through the atomizing nozzle. After being sprayed out, the pollen is dispersed with the water mist, and some of it will come into contact with the flower stamens during the dispersion process, thus conveniently completing pollination and reducing the labor intensity of manual pollination.
[0022] Secondly, by installing spiral pipes around the water delivery pipes, the pollen changes its flow path when it enters the spiral pipes along with the humidifying liquid, thus allowing the pollen to mix fully with the humidifying liquid. This results in more even dispersion after atomization, increasing the pollination success rate. Attached Figure Description

[0032] Reference Figures 1-6 A gourd pollinator includes a water delivery pipe 1, an atomizing nozzle 2 fixedly installed at the output end of the water delivery pipe 1, a mixing device 3 fixedly installed around the water delivery pipe 1, and a spiral pipe 4 fixedly installed around the water delivery pipe 1 and between the atomizing nozzle 2 and the mixing device 3. The mixing device 3 includes a mixing tube 31, and a pollen adding device 5 is inserted into the periphery of the mixing tube 31. The pollen adding device 5 includes a storage tank 51, and the storage tank 51 is connected to the mixing tube 31.
[0033] In this embodiment, a mixing device 3 is installed around the water pipe 1 used to increase humidity in the greenhouse. The mixing device 3 is connected to the pollen adding device 5. The pollen and pure water are mixed in the storage tank 51 on the pollen adding device 5, so that the pollen can slowly enter the mixing device 3 with the pure water. Then it is sprayed out through the atomizing nozzle 2. After being sprayed out, the pollen is dispersed with the water mist. During the dispersion process, some of it will come into contact with the pistil, thus conveniently completing pollination and reducing the labor intensity of manual pollination.
[0034] By installing a spiral pipe 4 around the water delivery pipe 1, the pollen changes its flow path when it enters the spiral pipe 4 along with the humidified liquid, thus allowing the pollen to mix fully with the humidified liquid and disperse more evenly after atomization, thereby increasing the pollination success rate.
[0035] Reference Figures 1-6 In a preferred embodiment, the storage tank 51 is specifically a barrel-shaped structure with an open top. The upper half of the storage tank 51 is fixedly connected to an injection port 511, and the bottom end of the storage tank 51 is fixedly connected to a tubular plug 52. An insertion port is opened on the periphery of the mixing tube 31.
[0036] In this embodiment, pollen and purified water are introduced into the storage tank 51 through an injection port 511 on the periphery of the storage tank 51, and the tubular plug 52 is inserted into the mixing tube 31 through the insertion port.
[0037] Reference Figures 1-6In a preferred embodiment, a squeeze plug 54 is slidably connected between the inner walls of the storage tank 51. The squeeze plug 54 is specifically a barrel-shaped structure with an open top. The height of the squeeze plug 54 is the same as the height of the storage tank 51. A sealing plug 32 is provided inside the insertion port. The tubular plug 52 passes through the sealing plug 32 and extends into the mixing tube 31.
[0038] In this embodiment, by setting a squeeze plug 54, the squeeze plug 54 moves downward and squeezes and drives the pollen into the mixing device 3. The squeeze plug 54 has a barrel-shaped structure, so that when it moves downward, it can always seal the injection port 511, preventing the subsequent pure water from flowing to the top of the squeeze plug 54 and causing leakage.
[0039] Reference Figures 1-6 In a preferred embodiment, a counterweight 55 is provided above the compression plug 54, and the counterweight 55 is fixedly connected to the compression plug 54 by a connecting rod 56.
[0040] In this embodiment, by setting a counterweight 55, the weight of the counterweight 55 is greater than the frictional resistance generated when the squeezing plug 54 moves downward, so that under the action of gravity, the squeezing plug 54 can be squeezed and moved downward, thereby forcing the pollen into the mixing device 3.
[0041] Reference Figures 1-6 In a preferred embodiment, a stirring assembly 6 is provided inside the mixing tube 31, and the stirring assembly 6 includes a fan blade 62 that is rotatably disposed inside the mixing tube 31.
[0042] In this embodiment, by setting up a stirring component 6, when the stirring component 6 rotates, it disturbs the water flow, so that the pollen is initially mixed in the mixing device 3. The flow of water will drive the fan blade 62 to rotate, thereby disturbing the direction of the water flow.
[0043] Reference Figures 1-6 In a preferred embodiment, a T-shaped ring block 61 is fixedly connected to the periphery of the fan blade 62, and a T-shaped ring groove 33 matching the T-shaped ring block 61 is opened on the periphery of the mixing pipe 31.
[0044] In this embodiment, by setting the T-shaped ring block 61 and the T-shaped ring groove 33, the rotation of the fan blade 62 is made more stable.
[0045] Reference Figures 1-6 In a preferred embodiment, a one-way valve 53 is fixedly installed inside the tubular plug 52.
[0046] In this embodiment, by setting a one-way valve 53, which is existing technology, pollen and pure water can flow into the mixing tube 31, but the water in the mixing tube 31 will not flow back into the storage tank 51.
[0047] In summary: When using, the mixture of pollen and purified water is added into the storage tank 51 through the injection port 511. Then, under the pressure of the counterweight 55, the mixture of pollen and purified water flows into the mixing tube 31, and then flows through the atomizing nozzle 2 before being atomized and dispersed.

The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
