Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn pollination technology, and in particular to a convenient auxiliary pollination device. Background Technology

[0002] In agricultural production, corn, as an important food crop, relies heavily on its pollination process for yield and quality. Natural pollination of corn primarily depends on pollen falling and contacting the female flower, but this process is highly susceptible to external interference. For example, in windy weather, pollen is easily dispersed, making it difficult for it to accurately land on the female flower; while in rainy weather, pollen becomes sticky due to moisture, reducing its activity or even preventing its dispersal. Furthermore, excessively high corn planting density obstructs pollen dispersal pathways, also leading to insufficient pollination.

[0003] To overcome the limitations of natural pollination, existing assisted pollination devices typically involve collecting pollen and then spraying it onto the pistil. However, this process is cumbersome, requiring multiple collections and sprays, which not only consumes significant manpower and time but also leads to pollen loss during these repeated operations, reducing pollination efficiency and impacting maize growth and yield. Therefore, developing an easy-to-operate and highly efficient assisted pollination device is of significant practical importance.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a convenient auxiliary pollination device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a convenient auxiliary pollination device. The gooseneck tube is flexibly adjustable to suit different plants, and the vibration structure efficiently collects pollen. The control mechanism precisely controls the pollen drop, and the inner screen ensures pollen purity. The buffer design reduces operator fatigue and minimizes damage to parts, achieving convenient operation, efficient pollination, and reliable structure, effectively improving the quality and efficiency of corn pollination.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A convenient auxiliary pollination device includes a vibrating funnel, a control mechanism fixedly installed at the lower end of the vibrating funnel, a vibrator fixedly installed on one side of the control mechanism, a gooseneck tube fixedly installed at the lower end of the vibrating funnel, and a pollination funnel fixedly installed at the lower end of the gooseneck tube.

[0008] The control mechanism includes a transmission tube, and an inner control frame is embedded inside the transmission tube near its lower end. A movable slide plate is horizontally slidable inside the inner control frame. The inner control frame is hollow, and its on / off state can be controlled by moving the slide plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a buffer frame is fixedly installed between the front and rear sides of the transmission tube near the lower end. The buffer frame is connected to the transmission tube and the vibrator through a rubber pad, and a buffer handle is fixedly installed at the lower end of the buffer frame.

[0010] Furthermore, an adjustment column is fixedly installed on the lower end of the movable slide plate near the buffer handle.

[0011] Furthermore, an inner screen is fixedly installed at the top of the inner control frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the vibrator is equipped with a vibration motor inside, and the vibrator is equipped with a heat dissipation window on the outside to facilitate heat dissipation of the vibration motor.

[0013] Furthermore, multiple contact frames are fixedly installed inside the vibrating funnel.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model proposes a convenient auxiliary pollination device. This device, through a variable gooseneck tube, allows for flexible adjustment of the positions of the vibrating funnel and the pollination funnel, facilitating quick and easy placement of them on the male and female flowers of corn. Compared to traditional devices that require multiple pollen collection and spraying processes, this device eliminates the need for complex operating procedures, significantly saving manpower and time costs and improving the efficiency of pollination operations.

[0016] 2. This utility model proposes a convenient auxiliary pollination device. The vibrator in the device drives the vibrating funnel and contact frame to vibrate, promoting the full release of pollen from the male flowers. Simultaneously, the inner screen filters impurities, ensuring pollen purity. The moving slide of the control mechanism precisely controls the pollen's descent, ensuring accurate attachment of pollen to the pistil within the pollination funnel. This effectively prevents pollen loss, significantly improves the pollination success rate, and provides a guarantee for high and stable corn yields. Attached Figure Description

[0023] 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.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-4 An embodiment of this utility model provides a convenient auxiliary pollination device, including a vibrating funnel 1, a plurality of contact frames 6 fixedly arranged inside the vibrating funnel 1, a control mechanism 3 fixedly arranged at the lower end of the vibrating funnel 1, a vibrator 2 fixedly arranged on one side of the control mechanism 3, a gooseneck tube 4 fixedly arranged at the lower end of the vibrating funnel 1, a pollination funnel 5 fixedly arranged at the lower end of the gooseneck tube 4, a vibrating motor arranged inside the vibrator 2, and a heat dissipation window arranged outside the vibrator 2 to facilitate heat dissipation of the vibrating motor.

[0025] Furthermore, the vibrating funnel 1 serves as the starting component for pollen collection, with multiple contact frames 6 inside ensuring full contact with the male corn flowers. When the vibrating motor inside the vibrator 2 is activated, its power can be set to 30-50W, with a frequency range of 50-100Hz, adjustable according to actual needs. The vibration generated by the motor is transmitted to the contact frames 6 through the vibrating funnel 1, causing the contact frames 6 to vibrate at high frequency, prompting the pollen on the male flowers to detach and enter the vibrating funnel 1. The gooseneck tube 4 is made of a flexible, bendable material, with a diameter of 2-3 cm and a length of 30-50 cm. Its flexibility allows for flexible adjustment based on the relative positions of the male and female flowers on the corn plant, ensuring that the vibrating funnel 1 accurately covers the male flowers and the pollination funnel 5 aligns with the female flowers, thus establishing a transmission channel for pollen from collection to pollination. The external heat dissipation window of vibrator 2 effectively dissipates the heat generated by the vibrating motor during operation, ensuring stable operation of the motor over a long period and preventing performance degradation or damage due to overheating. This structural design achieves a rational layout of pollen collection and transmission channels. Through the adjustable vibration frequency and gooseneck tube 4, the device's adaptability to corn plants in different growth stages is improved, enabling efficient pollen collection and precise pollination location. Simultaneously, the heat dissipation window ensures stable operation of vibrator 2, extends the device's lifespan, and reduces maintenance costs.

[0026] The control mechanism 3 includes a transmission pipe 301. An inner control frame 303 is embedded in the transmission pipe 301 near its lower end. A movable slide plate 307 is horizontally slidable inside the inner control frame 303. The inner control frame 303 is hollow inside, and its on / off state can be controlled by the movable slide plate 307. A buffer frame 302 is fixedly installed between the front and rear sides of the transmission pipe 301 near its lower end. The buffer frame 302 is connected to the transmission pipe 301 and the vibrator 2 through a rubber pad. A buffer handle 305 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the buffer frame 302. An adjusting column 304 is fixedly installed on the side of the lower end of the movable slide plate 307 near the buffer handle 305. An inner screen 306 is fixedly installed at the top of the inner control frame 303.

[0027] Furthermore, the transmission tube 301 serves as the main channel for pollen transport, and its internally embedded inner control frame 303 and movable slide plate 307 constitute the control structure for pollen descent. The inner screen 306 has a mesh size of 0.5-1 mm, which can effectively filter impurities in the pollen, such as male flower debris and dust, ensuring the purity of the pollen entering the subsequent pollination stage. When pollen needs to be released for pollination, the operator pulls the adjusting column 304 at the buffer handle 305, causing the movable slide plate 307 to slide horizontally for 3-5 cm, thereby opening the passage of the inner control frame 303, allowing the pollen to smoothly pass through the transmission tube 301 and gooseneck tube 4 into the pollination funnel 5. The buffer frame 302 is connected to the transmission pipe 301 and the vibrator 2 via a rubber pad. The rubber pad is 5-8 mm thick and effectively buffers the vibration generated by the vibrator 2 during operation, reducing the vibration transmitted to the operator's hands and lowering operator fatigue. It also prevents vibration from causing loosening or damage to the internal parts of the control mechanism 3, ultimately enabling the control mechanism 3 to achieve precise control over pollen descent. The inner screen 306 ensures pollen quality and improves pollination efficiency. The design of the buffer frame 302 and the rubber pad enhances the comfort and stability of the device operation, improves the operator's experience, and ensures the reliability of the internal structure of the device, reducing the probability of malfunctions caused by vibration.

[0028] Working Principle: In use, first adjust the shape of the gooseneck tube 4 according to the position of the male and female flowers on the corn plant, place the vibrating funnel 1 over the male flower, and align the pollination funnel 5 with the female flower. Start the vibration motor inside the vibrator 2. The motor drives the vibrating funnel 1 and the contact frame 6 to vibrate. Under the vibration, the pollen from the male flower in contact with the contact frame 6 falls and enters the transmission tube 301 of the control mechanism 3. During the fall, the pollen is filtered by the inner screen 306 to remove impurities, ensuring the purity of the pollen entering subsequent channels. When pollination is needed, the operator pulls the adjusting column 304. The adjusting column 304 drives the moving slide plate 307 to slide horizontally within the inner control frame 303 in the transmission tube 301, opening the previously closed passage. At this time, the pollen can smoothly descend along the gooseneck tube 4 and finally attach to the pistil in the pollination funnel 5, completing the pollination process. This method achieves integrated operation from pollen collection to pollination, making it simple and efficient.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
