Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of horticultural technology, and in particular relates to a tool for quickly removing anthers from lilies. Background Technology

[0002] The anthers (pollen sacs at the tips of the stamens) of lilies are an indispensable material in lily hybridization breeding. After lilies bloom, pollen is easily dispersed, which can easily stain petals or clothing, so it is necessary to manually remove it in advance. Traditional methods usually involve removing it by hand or with tweezers, which has problems such as low efficiency, easy damage to petals, and residue at the base of the anthers. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a tool for quickly removing anthers from lilies. Using this tool can increase harvesting speed and prevent damage to the stigma and petals.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] This invention discloses a tool for quickly removing lily anthers, comprising a double-edged gripper, an anther collection box, and handles. The double-edged gripper is cross-hinged, with one end of the hinge having an arc-shaped blade that wraps around and cuts the anther base when closed. The other end of the hinge extends out and is connected to a handle. A return spring is connected between the two handles. When harvesting anthers, an anther collection box is installed on either side of the double-edged gripper to collect the cut anthers.

[0006] Furthermore, the curved cutting edge of the double-edged gripper is provided with a V-shaped serrated structure, and the tips of the serrated structure face the closing direction of the gripper.

[0007] Furthermore, the ends of the double-edged gripper have flat gripping surfaces on opposite sides, covered with silicone or soft material, for gripping anthers.

[0008] Furthermore, the silicone or soft material gripping surface has an anti-slip texture.

[0009] Furthermore, the silicone or soft material has a detachable structure, which is a sleeve structure that mates with the end cutting edge of the double-edged gripper.

[0010] Furthermore, when the height of the style is lower than the height of the anther, a style protective sleeve is also provided at the hinge. The style protective sleeve has a cylindrical structure and a buffer layer is provided on its inner wall.

[0011] Furthermore, the buffer layer is made of a flexible or elastic material.

[0012] Furthermore, the double-edged gripper head has grooves on its outer side and on its handle, and the anther collection box has slides on both opposite sides of its top that cooperate with the grooves. When not collecting anthers, the anther collection box is mounted on the handle. When picking and collecting anthers, one side of the anther collection box slides into the groove along one side of the slide.

[0013] Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the groove and the slide is dovetail-shaped.

[0014] Furthermore, the handle is provided with an anti-slip sleeve, the surface of which has an uneven texture. The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0015] 1. This utility model features a double-edged gripper with a cross-hinged design. One end has an arc-shaped blade that wraps around and cuts the anther base when closed. The other end is connected to a handle, with a return spring connecting the two handles. During anther harvesting, an anther collection box is installed on either side of the double-edged gripper to collect the cut anthers. This allows for quick anther harvesting of lily anthers, increasing collection speed, while preventing pollen contamination of the stigma and petals.

[0016] 2. The double-edged gripper of this utility model has a V-shaped serrated structure on its arc-shaped cutting edge, which can increase the contact friction with the filaments at the base of the anther, prevent the filaments from slipping, further improve the cutting effect, and ensure that the filaments at the base of the anther can be cut quickly and accurately.

[0017] 3. The double-edged gripper described in this utility model has flat surfaces on opposite sides of its blades, with detachable silicone or soft material on them, which are equivalent to tweezers. They are used to grip the filaments at the base of the anthers and remove the anthers when it is inconvenient to cut the anther base.

[0018] 4. This utility model may also include a style protective sleeve at the hinge of the clamping head. This sleeve protects the style when its height is lower than the anther height, preventing pollen from falling and contaminating the stigma during pollen collection, or from damaging the style when cutting the anthers. The protective sleeve is detachable and can be replaced when harvesting anthers of different lily varieties, or removed when the style height is higher than the anther height.

[0019] 5. The double-edged gripper of this utility model has grooves on its outer side and on its handle. The top of the anther collection box has slides on two opposite sides that cooperate with the grooves. When not collecting anthers, the anther collection box is installed on the handle. When picking and collecting anthers, one side of the anther collection box slides into the groove along one side of the slide through the slide. It is convenient to carry and easy to disassemble and install. Attached Figure Description

[0024] In the picture: 1. Anther collection box, 2. Double-edged clamp, 3. Protective cover, 4. Handle, 5. Return spring. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Example 1: As Figures 1-2 As shown, the present invention discloses a tool for quickly removing lily anthers, comprising a closable double-edged gripper 2, an anther collection box 1, and a handle 4. The double-edged gripper 2 is cross-hinged, with one end of the hinge having an arc-shaped blade that wraps around and cuts the anther base when closed. The other end of the hinge extends out and is connected to the handle 4. A return spring is connected between the two handles 4. When harvesting anthers, an anther collection box is installed on either side of the double-edged gripper to collect the cut anthers.

[0027] The double-edged gripper 2 has an arc-shaped blade that can precisely wrap around and cut the anthers when closed, cutting multiple anthers at once and storing them in the anther collection box 1.

[0028] The double-edged gripper 2 has grooves on its outer side and on its handle. The anther collection box 1 has slides on two opposite sides of its top that cooperate with the grooves, making it easy to install on different sides of the double-edged gripper. When not collecting anthers, the anther collection box 1 is installed on the handle 4. When picking and collecting anthers, one side of the anther collection box 1 slides into the groove along one side of the slide.

[0029] The cross-sectional shape of the chute and slide is dovetail-shaped. This structure makes the anther collection box more stable after installation, less prone to loosening, and ensures that the anther collection box is always in the correct position during harvesting, effectively collecting pollen.

[0030] The handle 4 is equipped with an anti-slip sleeve, the surface of which has an uneven texture. This is used to increase the friction between the operator's hand and the handle, preventing slippage.

[0031] The handle 4 has a groove for mounting a flower anther collection box, which is designed for easy carrying when the anthers are not being picked.

[0032] Example 2: Figures 3-4As shown, the difference between this example and Example 1 is that one outer side of the double-edged clamping head in this example is arc-shaped, and the other outer side has a groove, which is slidably installed in conjunction with the slide rail on the top of the anther collection box 1. This makes it easier to operate when cutting the anthers and prevents the style from being touched.

[0033] Example 3: This example differs from Example 1 in that the double-edged gripper 2 described in this example has a V-shaped serrated structure on its cutting edge, and the tips of the serrated structure face the closing direction of the gripper. This increases the contact friction with the filaments at the base of the anther, prevents the filaments from slipping, further improves the cutting effect, and ensures that the filaments at the base of the anther can be cut quickly and accurately.

[0034] Example 4: This example differs from Example 1 in that, when the style height is lower than the anther height, a style protective sleeve 3 is provided at the hinge. The style protective sleeve 3 is a cylindrical structure with a buffer layer on its inner wall. The buffer layer is made of a flexible or elastic material. The style protective sleeve 3 can be installed as follows: one end of the hinge pin protrudes and has threads; the bottom of the cylindrical body of the style protective sleeve 3 has a through hole or threaded hole; the style protective sleeve 3 is installed on the threads and fixed with a nut. The buffer layer is made of soft silicone sleeved on the cylindrical body, or a sponge placed on the inner wall of the cylindrical body, which is convenient to disassemble and can provide better cushioning protection for the style when the anther is picked up, preventing pollen from falling and contaminating the stigma or damaging the style during pollen collection. This protective sleeve is replaceable to prevent the mucus secreted by the stigma from contaminating other varieties and affecting the accuracy of breeding.

[0035] Example 5: This example differs from Example 1 in that the double-edged gripper described in this example has a flat gripping surface on the opposite side of the end blade, which is covered with silicone or soft material for gripping the filaments at the base of the anther.

[0036] The silicone or soft material gripping surface has an anti-slip texture. It is used when it is inconvenient to cut the filaments at the base of the anther, gripping the filaments and picking the anther, further enhancing the stability during gripping and preventing slippage.

[0037] The silicone or soft material is a detachable structure, which is an elastic sleeve structure that cooperates with the end blade of the double-edged gripper. In this example, it is a silicone sleeve, which can be replaced after contamination or when picking different varieties of lily anthers.

[0038] Components not described in detail in this application are all existing conventional technologies and will not be described further here.

[0039] It is understood that the above specific description of the present invention is only for illustrating the present invention and is not limited to the technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the present invention to achieve the same technical effect; as long as the use needs are met, they are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
