Abstract  

To realize pollination mechanization for hybrid rice seed production, a collision-pneumatic hybrid rice pollination machine was designed and manufactured. The airflow velocity in the air hole of pollination tubes with diameter of 50, 55, 60, 65 and 70 mm was simulated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The results showed that the average airflow velocity simulated in the air hole of pollination tube with the diameter of 60 mm was similar to the measured value. The field pollination experiments at the average airflow velocity of 9.35, 11.82 and 15.07 m/s were conducted with the spacing between the air hole and collision rope of 50, 100 and 150 mm respectively. The pollen amount received by four line female parents beside male parents was super to that of the artificial pollination and distributed uniformly. The pollen amount distributed on the four line female parents increased with the distance between the air hole and collision rope. However, the pollen amount was not obviously increased when the distance between the air hole and collision rope increased to 100-150 mm, and the average airflow velocity of the air hole increased to 11.82-15.07 m/s. In conclusion, the optimal pollination parameters for the collision-pneumatic hybrid rice pollination machine are obtained when the airflow velocity is 11.82 m/s, and the distance between the air hole and collision rope is 100-150 mm.

碰撞气吹式杂交水稻授粉机结构与参数优化

为实现杂交水稻制种辅助授粉机械化,试制了碰撞气吹式杂交水稻制种授粉机。利用计算流体动力学(computational fluid dynamics, CFD)数值仿真技术对直径为50、55、60、65、70 mm的授粉管气吹孔气流速度进行数值模拟,结果表明,管径为60 mm授粉管的气吹孔气流速度实测值与模拟值相近且变化趋势一致,沿授粉管分布均匀。对气吹孔与击穗绳间距为50、100和150 mm的碰撞气吹式杂交水稻授粉机在气吹孔平均气流速度为9.35、11.82 和15.07 m/s时进行田间授粉,结果表明:用该授粉机授粉后杂交水稻父本侧4 行母本接收的花粉量和花粉分布均匀性均明显优于人工拉绳授粉;随着气吹孔与击穗绳间距和气吹孔平均气流速度的增加,4行母本接收的花粉总量增加,但当气吹孔与击穗绳间距增加至100~150 mm、气吹孔平均气流速度增加至11.82~15.07 m/s后,花粉量增加不明显;碰撞气吹式杂交水稻制种授粉机较佳参数为气吹孔与击穗绳间距100~150 mm,气吹孔平均流速11.82 m/s。
