Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of biotechnology equipment, and in particular to a pollen dispersing box. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, pollen collection is mainly done in the field. However, due to the long pollen shedding time of plants such as corn ears, multiple manual collections are required. The collection rate of field collection is low, and pollen cannot be fully collected. The labor cost required for collection is high. Moreover, field collection increases impurities in the pollen, affecting pollen activity. Decreased pollen activity reduces pollen breeding efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0003] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this application proposes a pollen dispersing box, which has a simple structure and improves pollen collection efficiency while ensuring the activity of the collected pollen.
[0004] A pollen dispersing box according to a first aspect of this application includes: a box body, the box body having a receiving cavity for placing plants, a connecting portion having a side wall of the receiving cavity, the bottom end of the plant extending into the receiving cavity from the outside space of the box body through the connecting portion; a baffle being provided inside the receiving cavity for pressing down the bottom end of the plant; and a culture medium being injected into the receiving cavity, the liquid level of the culture medium being lower than the position of the connecting portion.
[0005] According to some embodiments of this application, the bottom position of the stop is lower than the position of the connecting portion and higher than the bottom of the receiving cavity.
[0006] According to some embodiments of this application, a gap is left between the stop and the connecting portion.
[0007] According to some embodiments of this application, the connecting portion is a horizontally arranged strip-shaped channel.
[0008] According to some embodiments of this application, the stop is formed as a cylindrical structure, which is horizontally placed within the receiving cavity.
[0009] According to some embodiments of this application, the stop is formed as a cylinder.
[0010] According to some embodiments of this application, the two end faces of the stop are engaged with the side walls of the receiving cavity.
[0011] According to some embodiments of this application, the box body has an opening, and the receiving cavity communicates with the external space of the box body through the opening. The pollen powder box also includes a box lid, the lid's closing surface has a protrusion, and when the box lid is closed to the opening, the side wall of the receiving cavity abuts against the protrusion.
[0012] According to some embodiments of this application, the opening is located on the top surface of the housing.
[0013] According to some embodiments of this application, the protrusion surrounds to form a receiving portion, which is placed under the plant when the lid is removed from the box body, and the receiving portion is used to collect pollen that is naturally scattered by the plant.

[0028] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0029] Currently, pollen collection is mainly done in the field. However, because the pollen shedding time of plants such as corn ears is long, it is necessary to collect pollen manually over multiple days. For example, the pollen of a single corn ear needs to be collected at least three times over three days to be fully collected. This results in a low collection rate of pollen in the field, often failing to collect enough pollen. The labor cost required for collection is high. Moreover, collecting pollen in the field will increase impurities in the collected pollen, which will affect pollen activity and thus reduce the efficiency of pollen breeding.
[0030] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 4 A pollen dispersing box according to an embodiment of this application is described in detail with reference to a specific example. It is to be understood that the following description is merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the application.
[0031] Combination Figure 1 ,by Figure 1The left-right direction is the X-axis, the front-back direction is the Y-axis, and the up-down direction is the Z-axis. The X-axis points to the right, the Y-axis points forward, and the Z-axis points upward.
[0032] This application provides a pollen dispersing box, which includes a box body 200, and the interior of the box body 200 is provided with a culture medium 400 and a plant receiving cavity 220. It is understood that the bottom of the plant's flower spike 300 is immersed in the culture medium.
[0033] The container is equipped with internal baffles to hold down the bottom of the plant. The flower spike tip can protrude from the container; under the pressure of the baffles, the plant remains tilted, allowing the flower spike tip to suspend in the air and naturally release pollen. A collection device placed below it can automatically collect the pollen, eliminating the need for multiple days of manual field collection and saving labor costs. The flower spike tip is relatively heavy, and the baffles press down on the bottom of the flower spike below it to prevent the bottom from lifting and causing the flower spike tip to fall off.
[0034] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 4 The pollen dispersing box provided in this application is described in detail with specific embodiments, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the pollen collection box is used to collect pollen that naturally falls from the flower spikes 300 picked from the field. To maintain the activity of the flower spikes 300, see... Figure 4 The pollen dispersing box contains a culture medium 400. The pollen dispersing box includes a rectangular box body 200, and a receiving cavity 220 is opened inside the box body 200, which is filled with the culture medium 400.
[0035] Furthermore, the top surface of the box 200 is provided with an opening to allow the receiving cavity 220 inside the box 200 to access the outside of the box 200, so as to facilitate the addition and replacement of the culture medium 400 in the receiving cavity 220. Figure 1 As shown, a lid 100 is correspondingly fitted at the opening of the box 200, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the lid 100 is in an inverted state, that is, the mating surface of the lid 100 is facing upwards, and the mating surface of the lid 100 has a protruding part 110 that is closed at both ends, as shown. Figure 1 As shown, the operating box cover 100 covers the box body 200 with the mating surface facing down, the side wall of the receiving cavity 220 presses against the protrusion 110, the protrusion 110 is inserted into the receiving cavity 220, and the box cover 100 covers the opening of the box body 200.
[0036] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment, the box 200 is formed as a cuboid structure. It is understood that in some embodiments, the structure of the box 200 can also be formed as a prism structure such as a triangular prism or a pentagonal prism.
[0037] like Figure 2As shown, the receiving cavity 220 has a connecting part 210 on its front side wall. The position of the connecting part 210 is higher than the bottom of the receiving cavity 220. The connecting part 210 is a horizontally arranged strip-shaped channel. The strip-shaped channel is conducive to the utilization of the side wall space. The strip-shaped channel can hold more flower spikes 300.
[0038] It is understood that in some embodiments, multiple elongated through slots can be horizontally arranged at different heights on the upper and lower sides of the sidewall to provide connecting portions 210 at different heights for different types of flower spikes. In other embodiments, the connecting portion 210 can be other shapes such as circles or triangles, and the receiving cavity 220 can have connecting portions 210 on multiple sidewalls, or multiple connecting portions 210 can be formed on one sidewall of the receiving cavity 220.
[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown (the box cover 100 is not shown in the figure), the receiving cavity 220 is provided with a stop 230 for pressing the flower spike 300. The stop 230 is formed into a cylinder and is horizontally placed in the receiving cavity 220. Its two ends are respectively stuck on the left and right side walls of the receiving cavity 220. The position of the stop 230 can be changed at any time as needed. In some other embodiments, the stop 230 is formed into other columnar structures such as a triangular prism or a quadrangular prism. Multiple stops 230 can be provided corresponding to the connecting part 210.
[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the baffle 230 is lower than the connecting part 210 and higher than the bottom of the receiving cavity 220, so as to ensure that the flower spike 300 maintains an inclined posture after being inserted into the bottom of the receiving cavity 220 through the connecting part 210 and pressed by the baffle 230, so that the top of the flower spike 310 can be suspended in the air outside the box 200 to naturally scatter pollen.
[0041] The following example demonstrates how to use a pollen collection box:
[0042] After the corn tassels emerge from the field, all corn tassels (300) with the part above the occlusal leaf are harvested and brought back indoors. The occlusal leaves of the corn tassels (300) are then peeled off, and a culture solution (400) is prepared to provide sufficient nutrients for the corn tassels (300). The culture solution (400) formula is as follows: ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) 1,650 mg / L, calcium chloride (CaCl2·2H2O) 440 mg / L, magnesium sulfate (MgSO4·7H2O) 370 mg / L, potassium nitrate (KNO3) 1,900 mg / L, H3BO3 60 mg / L, and (C6H8O6)n 1000 mg / L.
[0043] See Figure 4The culture medium 400 is injected into the receiving cavity 220 of the box 200, and the height of the culture medium 400 after injection is lower than the connecting part 210. Then, the bottom end 320 of the corn cob is inserted from the front side wall of the box 200 through the connecting part 210 into the receiving cavity 220. The bottom end 320 of the corn cob passes through the gap between the baffle 230 and the connecting part 210, extending between the baffle 230 and the bottom of the receiving cavity 220 and immersed in the culture medium 400. The top end 310 of the corn cob remains outside the box 200, and the entire corn cob 300 is tilted. The mass of the top end 310 of the corn cob is greater than that of the bottom end 320. The baffle 230 presses down on the bottom end 320 of the corn cob from above to prevent it from tilting up under the weight of the top end 310 and falling off. After the bottom end 320 of the corn cob extends into the box 200, as... Figure 2 As shown, the box cover 100 is removed and placed upside down with its closed side facing upwards. The box cover 100 is then placed below the top of the corn cob 310. The protrusions 110 on the closed side of the box cover 100 form a groove, allowing the top of the corn cob 310 to suspend in the air and naturally scatter pollen. This groove serves as a container 120 to collect the pollen that naturally scatters from the top of the corn cob 310. This eliminates the need for multiple days and multiple field collections, saving labor costs. In addition, the box cover 100 also serves as a pollen collection container, eliminating the need for a separate pollen collection container. This makes the operation convenient and saves costs.
