Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pollination rod technology, and in particular to a detachable pollination rod for artificial pollination. Background Technology

[0002] Artificial pollination refers to the technique of transferring pollen from plant stamens to the stigma to increase seed yield or to directionally alter plant species. It is a necessary means of purposefully selecting parents for plant hybridization breeding. In fruit tree production, artificial pollination is necessary for self-infertile, monoecious, and dioecious fruit trees, especially when pollinator trees are lacking or when adverse weather conditions during the flowering period affect normal natural pollination. Artificial pollination involves using a pollinator to transfer pollen from the stamens to the pistil.

[0003] Currently, traditional artificial pollination usually uses pollination sticks. However, when pollination is carried out in a humid environment, the pollen on the stamens tends to clump together due to the high humidity, making it difficult for the pollination stick to pick up the pollen from the stamens. Each time, the pollination stick can only pick up a small amount of effective pollen, resulting in poor pollination and a reduced pollination success rate. Utility Model Content

[0032] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0033] This utility model provides a detachable pollination stick for artificial pollination. See [link to related documentation]. Figure 1-2It includes: a rod body 100 and a connecting rod 200, with a rod head 300 installed at the end of the connecting rod 200; the connecting rod 200 is detachably installed at the end of the rod body 100, and the two are coaxially arranged; a drying component 400 for absorbing moisture from the flower stamens is detachably installed on the outer wall of the rod body 100, and the drying component 400 can be fixed at any position on the outer wall of the rod body 100.

[0034] The connecting rod 200 and the rod body 100 are detachably connected, allowing for one-time replacement of pollen per flower, avoiding cross-contamination of pollen from different plants, ensuring varietal purity, and reducing manual cleaning costs. The coaxial design of the rod body 100 and the connecting rod 200 ensures that power is transmitted along a single axis, avoiding energy loss. The drying component 400 helps absorb excess moisture on the flower stamen, reducing the humidity of the stamen and ensuring the dryness of the pollen. This improves pollen adhesion, making it easier for the rod head 300 to pick up the pollen. Furthermore, the drying component 400 can be installed at any position on the outer wall.

[0035] In one embodiment, the length of the connecting rod 200 is much smaller than the length of the rod 100.

[0036] The connecting rod 200 is much shorter than the rod 100, which further saves materials. Only the connecting rod 200 needs to be replaced instead of the entire rod 100, thus reducing the cost of replacement.

[0037] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The rod body 100 has a groove 110 at one end, and the connecting rod 200 has a locking block 210 at the end away from the rod head 300 that is adapted to the groove 110. The locking block 210 has a toothed structure and is used to engage with the teeth on the inner wall of the groove 110 to limit relative rotation.

[0038] Align the locking block 210 at the bottom of the rod head 300 with the locking groove 110 on the connecting rod 200, and apply pressure along the direction of the rod head 300 to make the outer wall of the locking block 210 gradually slide into the inner wall of the locking groove 110. By making the locking block 210 toothed, when the locking block 210 is fully inserted into the locking groove 110, the teeth interlock to prevent relative rotation between the two, ensuring a stable connection. Moreover, the toothed design increases the contact area compared to a normal planar structure, thus increasing stability.

[0039] For example, the connection between the rod 100 and the connecting rod 200 is an axial insertion, and after insertion, the locking block 210 and the locking groove 110 are engaged to prevent disengagement.

[0040] In one embodiment, see Figure 1-3 The drying component 400 includes a sponge block 410 sleeved on the outer wall of the rod 100.

[0041] By gently pressing the sponge block 410 to contact the surface of the flower stamen, the porous structure of the sponge block 410 quickly absorbs the moisture on the flower stamen, the surface of the flower stamen dries quickly, the pollen adhesion is improved, and it is easy for the stick head 300 to pick up the pollen.

[0042] In one embodiment, the sponge block 410 is provided with adhesive members 420 on both sides. The adhesive members 420 are a combination of a male and a female side of Velcro, used to fix the sponge block 410 to the rod body 100.

[0043] Both sides of the sponge block 410 are partially provided with adhesive parts 420, which are the male and female sides of the hook and loop fasteners. When the sponge block 410 is wrapped around the outer wall of the rod body 100, the male and female sides of the hook and loop fasteners on both sides are bonded together, thereby installing the sponge block 410 onto the rod body 100. After the pollination or water absorption operation is completed, pinch the edge of the sponge block 410 and gently pull it in the opposite direction along the axis of the rod body 100, and the male and female sides of the hook and loop fasteners will gradually separate.

[0044] In one embodiment, a pair of auxiliary rings 120 are provided at the end of the rod 100 away from the connecting rod 200 for finger gripping to increase operational stability.

[0045] Staff can thread their fingers through a pair of auxiliary rings 120 to help them hold the rod 100 better and increase the stability of the rod 100 during use.

[0046] In one embodiment, a flexible layer is provided on the outer side of the rod head 300.

[0047] The flexible layer is made of a flexible material and is used to reduce damage to the flower stamen when picking up pollen.

[0048] In one embodiment, the sponge block 410 includes a hydrophobic layer.

[0049] The hydrophobic layer is a hydrophobic porous material with a porosity of ≥80%, used to quickly absorb moisture from the surface of the flower stamen.

[0050] The specific usage method is as follows: First, the operator removes the sponge block 410 from the outer wall of the rod 100, allowing the sponge block 410 to contact the surface of the stamen. The porous structure of the sponge block 410 quickly absorbs moisture from the stamen, causing the surface to dry rapidly and increasing pollen adhesion. Then, the operator holds the rod 100 and places the rod head 300 against the stamen, adhering the pollen to the surface of the rod head 300. Next, the pollen is placed against the pistil to complete the pollination process. After pollination, the locking block 210 at the bottom of the connecting rod 200 is removed from the locking slot 110 and replaced for the next pollination operation. The porous structure of the sponge block 410 provides strong hygroscopicity, quickly absorbing moisture from the stamen and reducing its humidity. This keeps the pollen clumps dry and loose, increasing pollen adhesion and making it easier for the rod head 300 to pick up the pollen, thus improving the pollination success rate.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
