Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a pollinator for macadamia trees, belonging to the field of pollinator technology. Background Technology

[0002] As an important economic crop, the yield of macadamia nuts is closely related to the quality of pollination. Because macadamia trees are cross-pollinated plants, natural pollination relies on insects and other pollinators, making them susceptible to factors such as climate and environment, resulting in low pollination success rates and unstable fruit yields.

[0003] Chinese patent CN221355265U discloses an agricultural pear tree pollinator, comprising: a pollination component for pollinating pear trees, an adjustment component for adjusting the height of the pollination component, and the adjustment component having the pollination component mounted on it; and a drive component for operating the pollination component, with the drive component mounted on the adjustment component. The pollination component includes: a pollination tube, one end of which has a pollination disc, and the other end of which is fixedly fitted with a first sealing plate. This invention, by setting the adjustment component, enables the adjustment of the height of the pollination component, thereby enabling pollination of pear blossoms at higher elevations, thus improving practicality.

[0004] The aforementioned patent has some shortcomings: it uses an air pump to inject air and squeeze a piston to spray pollen, but the device is not good at controlling the amount of pollen. The amount of pollen added to the pollination tube cannot be precisely controlled. Adding too much pollen will easily lead to pollen waste, while adding too little pollen will make it difficult to ensure effective pollination. Therefore, it needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a macadamia tree pollinator to solve the issues raised in the background section.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a macadamia tree pollinator, including a handle, the handle being connected to a bullet-shaped tube through a length adjustment component, a feeding shell being vertically installed through the top of the bullet-shaped tube, and a storage tank being installed on the top of the feeding shell, a quantitative feeding component being provided inside the feeding shell, multiple air inlets being opened at the end of the bullet-shaped tube, and a blowing component being provided at the end of the bullet-shaped tube;

[0007] The quantitative feeding assembly includes a rotating body, a feeding groove, and a discharge hole. The rotating body is rotatably installed inside the feeding shell, and multiple feeding grooves are evenly spaced on the rotating body. The bottom of the feeding shell is located inside a bullet-shaped tube with a discharge hole that is opened through it. The discharge hole and the feeding groove cooperate with each other to discharge pollen.

[0008] Preferably, the blower assembly includes a motor and a fan blade. The motor is installed at the end of the bullet-shaped tube, and the output end of the motor is connected to the fan blade installed at the end of the bullet-shaped tube. The fan blade is located inside the bullet-shaped tube.

[0009] Preferably, a drive rod is horizontally mounted at the end of the rotating body, and a first pulley is mounted at the end of the drive rod through the feeding shell. The first pulley is connected to a second pulley via a belt, and the second pulley is fixedly mounted at the output end of the motor.

[0010] Preferably, a brush is vertically mounted on the output end of the motor, and the brush is used to clean the dust at the air inlet.

[0011] Preferably, the length adjustment assembly includes a rectangular column and a lead screw. The rectangular column is vertically slidably inserted into the top of the grip, and the lead screw is vertically rotatably installed at the bottom of the grip, with the lead screw threaded into the rectangular column. A bullet-shaped tube is fixedly installed at the top of the rectangular column, and a rotating handle is installed at the bottom of the lead screw outside the grip.

[0012] Preferably, a forearm support frame is installed laterally at an angle on the outer side of the grip, and forearm fixing straps are symmetrically installed on the top of the forearm support frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: multiple picking slots with the same volume are evenly opened on the rotating body installed inside the feeding shell. The pollen in the storage tank falls naturally into the picking slots under the action of gravity. When the rotating body rotates to the discharge hole position, the pollen in the picking slots is accurately released into the bullet-shaped tube. Since the volume of each picking slot is fixed, the amount of pollen released each time is completely controllable, thereby avoiding pollination failure caused by excessive pollen waste or insufficient pollen. It effectively solves the problem of waste or insufficient pollination caused by the inability to accurately control the amount of pollen in the prior art, and improves the pollen utilization rate and pollination stability.

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a pollinator for macadamia trees, including a handle 1, the handle 1 being connected to a bullet-shaped tube 2 via a length adjustment component, a feeding shell 3 being vertically installed through the top of the bullet-shaped tube 2, and a storage tank 4 being installed on the top of the feeding shell 3, a quantitative feeding component being provided inside the feeding shell 3, and multiple air inlets 16 being provided at the end of the bullet-shaped tube 2, and a blowing component being provided at the end of the bullet-shaped tube 2;

[0024] The quantitative feeding assembly includes a rotating body 6, a feeding groove 7, and a discharge hole 8. The rotating body 6 is rotatably installed inside the feeding shell 3, and multiple feeding grooves 7 are evenly spaced on the rotating body 6. The bottom of the feeding shell 3 is located inside the bullet-shaped tube 2, through which a discharge hole 8 is opened. The discharge hole 8 and the feeding groove 7 cooperate with each other to discharge pollen.

[0025] Specifically, the bottom of the storage tank 4 is connected to the interior of the feeding shell 3. When pollen is loaded into the storage tank 4, it will fall naturally under gravity to the top of the rotating body 6 inside the feeding shell 3. The rotating body 6 has a cylindrical structure, and its outer surface is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the feeding shell 3 to prevent pollen from leaking out through the gaps. The picking grooves 7 opened on the rotating body 6 are uniformly distributed groove structures, and each picking groove 7 has the same volume. When the rotating body 6 rotates, the picking grooves 7 will receive the falling pollen in sequence to achieve quantitative pollen collection. When the picking groove 7 carrying pollen rotates to align with the discharge hole 8, the pollen in the picking groove 7 will fall precisely into the bullet-shaped tube 2 through the discharge hole 8. The pollen falling into the bullet-shaped tube 2 is blown out of the bullet-shaped tube 2 by the fan blade 13. The end of the bullet-shaped tube 2 away from the motor 12 is set into a cone shape to facilitate precise spraying of pollen, thereby strictly controlling the amount of pollen released each time and effectively avoiding pollen waste or insufficient pollination.

[0026] Furthermore, the blower assembly includes a motor 12 and a fan blade 13. The motor 12 is installed at the end of the bullet-shaped tube 2, and the output end of the motor 12 passes through the end of the bullet-shaped tube 2 where the fan blade 13 is installed. The fan blade 13 is located inside the bullet-shaped tube 2.

[0027] Specifically, motor 12 is a miniature drive motor, which is fixedly installed on the outer side of the end of bullet-shaped tube 2. The output shaft extends laterally through the end wall of bullet-shaped tube 2 into the tube. Fan blade 13 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of motor 12. When motor 12 is started, fan blade 13 rotates at high speed and draws in external air through the air inlet 16 opened at the end of bullet-shaped tube 2. A directional airflow from the end to the outlet is formed inside bullet-shaped tube 2. This airflow can smoothly push the pollen falling from the discharge hole 8 along the inside of bullet-shaped tube 2 to the tube outlet, so that the pollen is evenly blown to the flowers of macadamia tree, improving the coverage and uniformity of pollination.

[0028] Furthermore, a drive rod 9 is horizontally mounted at the end of the rotating body 6, and the end of the drive rod 9 rotates through the feeding shell 3 to install a first pulley 10. The first pulley 10 is connected to a second pulley 11 via a belt, and the second pulley 11 is fixedly mounted at the output end of the motor 12.

[0029] Specifically, one end of the drive rod 9 is fixedly connected to the center of the end face of the rotating body 6, and the other end extends laterally and rotates through the side wall of the feeding shell 3. The first pulley 10 is fixedly installed at the end, and the second pulley 11 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the motor 12. The first pulley 10 and the second pulley 11 are connected by a transmission belt to form a synchronous transmission structure. When the motor 12 is running, the output shaft drives the second pulley 11 to rotate, and drives the first pulley 10 to rotate synchronously through the transmission belt. Then, the drive rod 9 drives the rotating body 6 to rotate inside the feeding shell 3. This linkage design allows the quantitative feeding component and the blowing component to share a power source, which simplifies the equipment structure and ensures the synchronicity of pollen release and airflow delivery, ensuring that pollen can be blown in time and improving pollination efficiency.

[0030] The diameter of the first pulley 10 is larger than that of the second pulley 11. The high-speed rotating second pulley 11 drives the first pulley 10 to rotate at a low speed.

[0031] Furthermore, a brush 14 is vertically mounted on the output end of the motor 12, and the brush 14 is used to clean the dust at the air inlet 16.

[0032] Specifically, the base of the brush 14 is fixedly installed at the end of the output shaft of the motor 12, with the bristles facing the surface of the air inlet 16 at the end of the bullet-shaped tube 2. When the motor 12 is running, the output shaft drives the brush 14 to rotate synchronously, and the bristles contact the outer surface of the air inlet 16, which can clean and remove dust, fallen leaf debris and other impurities attached to the air inlet 16. This design can effectively prevent the air inlet 16 from being blocked, ensure that the fan blade 13 can stably draw in air when it rotates, maintain the airflow intensity in the bullet-shaped tube 2, ensure the stability of pollen transport, and avoid the decline in pollination effect due to insufficient air intake.

[0033] Furthermore, the length adjustment assembly includes a rectangular column 5 and a lead screw 15. The rectangular column 5 is vertically slidably inserted into the top of the handle 1, and the lead screw 15 is vertically rotatably installed in the bottom of the handle 1. The lead screw 15 is threaded into the rectangular column 5. A bullet-shaped tube 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the rectangular column 5, and a handle is installed at the bottom of the lead screw 15 outside the handle 1.

[0034] Specifically, the handle 1 is a hollow rectangular column structure. The lead screw 15 is vertically rotatable and installed at the bottom of the handle 1 via a bearing. Its top threaded section is threadedly connected to the threaded hole at the bottom of the rectangular column 5. When the handle at the bottom of the lead screw 15 is rotated, the lead screw 15 rotates inside the handle 1. Through the threaded transmission, the rectangular column 5 is driven to rise and fall vertically along the handle 1, which in turn drives the bullet-shaped tube 2 at the top to rise and fall synchronously, thereby realizing the adjustment of the overall length of the equipment. This adjustment method is simple to operate, and the self-locking characteristic of the thread can keep the adjusted length stable, which can adapt to the pollination needs of macadamia trees of different heights and improve the versatility of the equipment.

[0035] Furthermore, a forearm support frame 17 is installed laterally at an angle on the outer side of the grip 1, and a forearm fixing strap 18 is symmetrically installed on the top of the forearm support frame 17.

[0036] Specifically, the forearm support frame 17 is an arc-shaped support plate structure, with one end fixed at an angle to the outer wall of the handle 1. The angle of the angle is adapted to the angle of the human forearm when it is naturally placed, which improves the support comfort. The forearm fixing strap 18 is an elastic webbing. When the operator uses the equipment, he places his forearm on the forearm support frame 17 and fixes the forearm to the equipment by wrapping the forearm around the forearm with the forearm fixing strap 18 and fastening it. This design can distribute the grip pressure of the hand, reduce hand muscle fatigue caused by long-term operation, and enhance the stability of the equipment during operation. It also prevents the bullet-shaped tube 2 outlet from deviating from the target flower due to hand tremors, thus improving the accuracy of pollination.

[0037] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows: Pollen to be pollinated is placed into the storage container 4. Based on the height requirements of the macadamia tree, the handle at the bottom of the screw 15 is rotated. The overall length of the handle 1 and the bullet-shaped tube 2 is adjusted via the length adjustment component, ensuring that the outlet of the bullet-shaped tube 2 is aligned with the height of the target flower. The operator places their forearm on the forearm support frame 17 and secures it with the forearm fixing strap 18. Holding the handle 1, the operator stabilizes the device and starts the motor 12. The output of the motor 12 simultaneously drives the fan blade 13, the second pulley 11, and the brush 14 to rotate. The rotation of the fan blade 13 generates airflow, which passes through the air inlet 1. 6. Air is drawn in and a directional airflow is formed in the bullet-shaped tube 2. The second pulley 11 drives the first pulley 10 to rotate through the belt drive, and then drives the rotating body 6 to rotate in the feeding shell 3 through the drive rod 9. The picking trough 7 on the rotating body 6 picks up pollen quantitatively from the storage tank 4. When it rotates to the position of the discharge hole 8, it releases the pollen into the bullet-shaped tube 2. Under the action of the airflow, the pollen is pushed along the bullet-shaped tube 2 to the end outlet and blown towards the flower to complete the pollination. At the same time, the brush 14 rotates with the motor 12 to clean the dust at the air inlet 16 to ensure stable airflow. After the pollination is completed, the motor 12 can be turned off.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
