Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] Figures 1-7 As an embodiment of the present invention: a batch testing device for egg products includes a testing box 1 and two testing instrument bodies 2 fixedly installed on one side of the top of the testing box 1. The testing instrument bodies 2 are prior art and are common knowledge to those skilled in the art. Their internal structure will not be described in detail in this solution. A testing mechanism 3 for batch testing of egg products is provided on the testing box 1.
[0030] The testing mechanism 3 includes a feeding rack 31 fixedly installed on one side of the testing box 1 and a discharging rack 32 fixedly installed on one side of the testing box 1. A feeding trough 33 matching one end of the feeding rack 31 is provided on one side of the testing box 1, and a discharging trough 34 matching one end of the discharging rack 32 is provided on the other side of the testing box 1. A support plate 35 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the top of the testing box 1. A rotating component 36 for driving the eggs to rotate is provided on the support plate 35. A conveying component 37 for conveying the eggs is provided on both the feeding rack 31 and the discharging rack 32.

[0031] The testing unit 3 is used for batch testing of eggs. The eggs are conveyed to the rotating component 36 by the conveying component 37 on the feeding rack 31. The rotating component 36 drives the eggs to the bottom of the testing instrument body 2 for testing. After testing, the eggs are conveyed to the next processing step by the conveying component 37 on the discharging rack 32. The rotating component 36 operates simultaneously with the conveying components 37 on the feeding rack 31 and the discharging rack 32. There is no need for manual handling of eggs, which reduces the workload of workers and improves the efficiency of batch testing of eggs.
[0032] Specifically, the rotating assembly 36 includes a rotating disk 361 rotatably mounted on the inner side of the top of the detection box 1, and several placement slots 362 arranged in a circular array on the rotating disk 361. The placement slots 362 are located at the edge of the rotating disk 361, with a semi-elliptical end and two inclined sides of different lengths. When the eggs to be tested enter the placement slots 362 through the feeding chute 33, the placement of the eggs is more stable and safer, preventing breakage. The two detector bodies 2 are respectively matched with the two placement slots 362 between the feeding chute 33 and the discharging chute 34. The eggs in the placement slots 362 move to the bottom of the detector body 2 for testing. Two sequentially arranged detector bodies 2 test the same egg twice, improving the accuracy of batch testing of eggs. A protective pad 363 is provided on the inner side wall of the placement slot 362 and fixed to the rotating disk 361. The protective pad 363 provides protection for the eggs, making them safer during movement. The feeding slot 33 and the discharging slot 34 are matched with any two placement slots 362. The conveying component 37 on the feeding rack 31 conveys the eggs to the feeding slot 33 and enters one of the placement slots 362 on the rotating disk 361. The rotating disk 361 moves the eggs to the discharging slot 34, and the conveying component 37 on the discharging rack 32 conveys the eggs from the discharging slot 34.

The two drive rollers 372 are rotatably connected to the loading rack 31 and the unloading rack 32 respectively via bearings. The other end of the two conveyor belts 371 is driven by driven rollers 375 rotatably connected to the loading rack 31 and the unloading rack 32 via bearings. When the drive rollers 372 rotate, they drive the conveyor belts 371 to rotate. A connecting shaft 373 is fixedly installed at one end of each of the two connecting shafts 373. A transmission belt 374 is installed through the loading rack 31 and the unloading rack 32 at one end of each connecting shaft 373. A rotating horizontal shaft 376 is installed at the bottom of each of the two transmission belts 374. The two ends of the transmission belt 374 are respectively connected to one end of the connecting shaft 373 and the rotating horizontal shaft 376 via pulleys. A limiting plate 377 fixed to the detection box 1 is installed at the bottom of the support plate 35. Bearing seats 378 fixed to the limiting plate 377 are rotatably installed at both ends of the rotating horizontal shaft 376.
[0034] refer to Figure 6 Specifically, the drive assembly 38 includes a Geneva 381 disposed at the bottom of the support plate 35, and a transmission vertical shaft 382 fixedly disposed at the axis of the Geneva 381. The transmission vertical shaft 382 passes through the support plate 35 and is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 361. A matching movable turntable 383 is disposed on one side of the Geneva 381. A matching cylindrical pin 384 is fixedly disposed on the top side of the movable turntable 383. The movable turntable 383 is rotatably connected to the Geneva 381. A plurality of [missing information - likely related to a specific component or feature] are disposed on the Geneva 381. The slots are arranged in a circular array. A cylindrical pin 384 matches any one of the slots. The movable turntable 383 drives the cylindrical pin 384 to rotate. The cylindrical pin 384 drives the grooved wheel 381 to rotate intermittently. A rotating vertical shaft 385 is fixedly installed at the axis of the movable turntable 383 and is rotatably connected to the support plate 35 through a bearing. A servo motor 386 for driving the rotating vertical shaft 385 is fixedly installed at the bottom inside the detection box 1. The drive assembly 38 also includes a transmission assembly 387 installed on the limit plate 377.
[0035] The specific implementation process of this embodiment is as follows: By starting the servo motor 386, the output end of the servo motor 386 drives the rotating vertical shaft 385 to rotate, the rotating vertical shaft 385 drives the movable turntable 383 at its top to rotate, the movable turntable 383 drives the cylindrical pin 384 on it to rotate, the cylindrical pin 384 drives the grooved wheel 381 to rotate intermittently, the grooved wheel 381 drives the transmission vertical shaft 382 at its top to rotate intermittently, and the transmission vertical shaft 382 drives the rotating disk 361 at its top to rotate intermittently.
[0036] Simultaneously, the servo motor 386 drives the rotating horizontal shaft 376 to rotate via the transmission component 387. The rotating horizontal shaft 376 drives the transmission belt 374 at one end of the pulley to start running. The transmission belt 374 drives the connecting shaft 373 at its top to rotate. The connecting shaft 373 drives the active roller 372 at one end to rotate. Since the driven roller 375 is rotatably connected to the feeding rack 31 or the discharging rack 32 through the bearing, the active roller 372 drives the conveyor belt 371 to run. The eggs move to the feeding trough 33 on the detection box 1 via the conveyor belt 371 on the feeding rack 31. The eggs enter one of the placement slots 362 on the rotating disc 361 through the feeding trough 33. The rotating disc 361 drives the eggs to move on the support plate 35. The eggs are detected at the bottom of the detector body 2. After the detection is completed, the eggs continue to move to the discharging trough 34 on the detection box 1. The conveyor belt 371 on the discharging rack 32 transports the eggs in the discharging trough 34 to the next step.

The bevel gear 3875 drives the bevel gear 3876 on one side to rotate. The bevel gear 3876 drives the movable shaft 3877 on one side to rotate. The movable shaft 3877 drives the worm 3872 at one end to rotate. The worm 3872 drives the transmission horizontal shaft 3871 at one end to rotate. The transmission horizontal shaft 3871 drives the worm 3872 at the other end to rotate. At the same time, the two worms 3872 rotate and drive the two worm wheels 3873 to rotate. The two worm wheels 3873 drive the rotating horizontal shaft 376 on one side to rotate.
[0040] In the process of batch processing egg products, this testing device first starts the servo motor 386. The output of the servo motor 386 drives the rotating vertical shaft 385 to rotate. The rotating vertical shaft 385 drives the first bevel gear 3875 on it to rotate. The first bevel gear 3875 drives the second bevel gear 3876 on one side to rotate. The second bevel gear 3876 drives the movable shaft 3877 on one side to rotate. The movable shaft 3877 drives the worm gear 3872 at one end to rotate. The worm gear 3872 drives the transmission horizontal shaft 3871 at one end to rotate. The transmission horizontal shaft 3871 drives the worm gear 3872 at the other end to rotate. While the two worm gears 3872 are rotating, they respectively drive the two worm wheels. When 3873 rotates, the two worm gears 3873 respectively drive the rotating horizontal shaft 376 on one side to rotate. The rotating horizontal shaft 376 drives the transmission belt 374 through the pulley to start running. The transmission belt 374 drives the connecting shaft 373 at its top to rotate. The connecting shaft 373 drives the active roller 372 at one end to rotate. Since the driven roller 375 is rotatably connected to the feeding rack 31 or the discharging rack 32 through the bearing, the active roller 372 drives the conveyor belt 371 to run. The eggs move to the feeding trough 33 on the detection box 1 through the conveyor belt 371 on the feeding rack 31. The eggs enter one of the placement slots 362 on the rotating disc 361 through the feeding trough 33.
