Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of potato breeding technology, specifically to a potato pollinator. Background Technology

[0002] Potatoes have a unique reproductive method. They can reproduce asexually through tubers, a method that is fast and less prone to mutation. This is generally used to increase potato yield, or through pollination. Pollination is typically used in scientific research because it increases the seed setting rate of potatoes, thus producing new potato plants. In artificial pollination, the petals of the male parent are first opened, and the stamens are shaken with a cotton swab while the pollen is collected with a transparent glass slide. After collecting the pollen, it is then rubbed onto the stigma of the female parent. Although potatoes can be cross-pollinated, they are usually classified as self-pollinating plants. Therefore, the common artificial pollination steps are not suitable for potatoes, which require large-scale breeding pollination. Furthermore, the common pollination process is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and the pollen collection is not ideal, making artificial pollination cumbersome and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, this application provides a potato pollinator to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0005] In a first aspect, a potato pollinator includes a collecting cylinder, a push plate slidably connected to the inner cavity of the collecting cylinder, a sealing head fixedly connected to the front end of the push plate, a main fixing plate and a fixing cylinder fixedly connected to the lower surface of the collecting cylinder, and buffer grooves symmetrically opened on both sides of the main fixing plate, with fittings slidably connected in the buffer grooves, and a secondary fixing plate movably connected to the main fixing plate through the fittings, the secondary fixing plate being fixedly connected to the upper surface of the clamping shell, while a support plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixing cylinder, a sealing layer is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support plate, and a through hole is opened on the side of the clamping shell, a main filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner side of the clamping shell at the position opposite to the through hole, and a buffer layer is fixedly connected to the opening at the lower end of the clamping shell.

[0007] Optionally, the push plate is generally in the shape of an I-beam. The push plate is composed of a pusher, a rod and a push head. The pusher is circular, the rod is cylindrical, and the push head is frustum-shaped. A sealing head is fixedly connected to the outer side of the push head, and the outer side of the sealing head abuts against the inner side of the receiving cylinder.

[0008] Optionally, two sets of main fixing plates are symmetrically connected to the lower surface of the collecting cylinder. Both sets of main fixing plates are rectangular in shape, and the buffer grooves opened in the main fixing plates have a convex cross-section.

[0009] Optionally, the fitting is in the shape of a convex shape, the size of the fitting and the buffer groove are matched, and the surface of the fitting located in the buffer groove is fixedly connected to an elastic element.

[0011] Optionally, the clamping shell has a hemispherical shell structure, and multiple sets of through holes are evenly opened on the side of the clamping shell. The multiple sets of through holes are distributed in a fan-shaped ring. The main filter screen is fixedly connected to the inner side of the clamping shell by a buckle. An opening is opened at both the upper and lower ends of the clamping shell. At the same time, the buffer layer fixedly connected to the lower opening of the clamping shell has a semi-circular structure.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] By combining the collecting cylinder, main fixing plate, interlocking parts, secondary fixing plate, clamping shell, and buffer layer, the potato flowers are placed in a relatively enclosed environment, facilitating subsequent pollination. The combination of the push plate, sealing head, fixing cylinder, support plate, sealing layer, and main filter allows the pollinator to achieve self-pollination of the potato flowers using the surging airflow.

[0021] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a potato pollinator according to the first aspect of this utility model includes a collecting cylinder 1. A push plate 2 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the collecting cylinder 1. A sealing head 3 is fixedly connected to the first end of the push plate 2. A main fixing plate 4 and a fixing cylinder 5 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the collecting cylinder 1. Buffer grooves are symmetrically opened on both sides of the main fixing plate 4. An insert 13 is slidably connected in the buffer groove. The main fixing plate 4 is movably connected to a secondary fixing plate 6 through the insert 13. The secondary fixing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the clamping shell 11. At the same time, a support plate 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixing cylinder 5. A sealing layer 7 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support plate 8. A through hole 9 is opened on the side of the clamping shell 11. A main filter screen 10 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the clamping shell 11 at a position opposite to the through hole 9. A buffer layer 12 is fixedly connected to the lower opening of the clamping shell 11.

[0024] The technical effects achieved by the above embodiment are as follows: The two sets of clamping shells 11 are closed, allowing the potato flower to reside inside the two sets of clamping shells 11. The lower end of the clamping shell 11 uses a sponge-material buffer layer 12, which not only helps to enhance the sealing and interception effect between the clamping shell 11 and the flower stem, but also reduces accidental damage to the flower stem. The opening at the upper end of the clamping shell 11 abuts against the side of the sealing layer 7, enhancing the sealing effect at the connection. When the push plate 2 is pushed up and down repeatedly, as the push plate 2 moves downward, it pushes the airflow from the collecting cylinder 1 into the clamping shell 11 through the sealing layer 7, allowing the airflow to agitate the pollen of the potato flower, causing the pollen to float with the airflow. This increases the chances of pollination. The main filter 10 can intercept floating pollen, preventing it from being directly dispersed by the airflow. When the push plate 2 moves upward, the external airflow will pass through the through hole 9, the main filter 10, and the fixed cylinder 5 into the collection cylinder 1. Then, the pollen intercepted on the main filter 10 will float again inside the clamping shell 11. Some of the pollen will increase the chances of pollination, while the other part of the pollen will flow into the collection cylinder 1 with the airflow, thus collecting the pollen. In turn, when pollinating the next group of potato flowers, the next group of potato flowers can achieve simultaneous self-pollination and cross-pollination, effectively improving the efficiency of potato flower breeding and pollination.

[0025] Example 2

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a potato pollinator includes all the contents of Embodiment 1. In addition, the push plate 2 and sealing head 3 inside the collecting cylinder 1 are removed, and an air bag 14 made of silicone material is provided on the upper surface of the sealing plate, while a secondary filter screen is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the sealing plate at the position opposite to the through hole.

[0027] The technical effect achieved by the above embodiment is that during the process of squeezing or releasing the air bladder 14, the airflow can better blow the pollen of potato flowers, and after releasing the squeezed air bladder 14, the air bladder 14 will draw in the external airflow during the recovery process. Then, with the cooperation of the secondary filter, the pollen floating in the airflow can be more effectively collected into the collection cylinder 1, thereby helping to enhance the convenience and efficiency of cross-pollination of potato flowers.

[0028] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
