When it is necessary to perform batch inspection on poultry eggs, the telescopic rod can be fully extended, and then the spacing between the first egg-candling shooting components 6 can be appropriately adjusted, and then the inspection work can be carried out. When only one poultry egg needs to be inspected, the telescopic rod can be left open, and the second egg-candling shooting component 7 at the end of the telescopic rod can be directly used for operation. The storage module stores standard photos of embryo hatching of different poultry species and different incubation times. Before the operation, the poultry species and incubation time can be selected in advance through the selection button and confirmation button on the handle 1, and then the photos taken by the first egg-candling shooting component 6 and the second egg-candling shooting component 7 will be transmitted to the processing module, and the processing module compares the photos taken with the standard photos extracted from the storage module, so as to judge the hatching status of the poultry eggs and whether they are qualified or not, and finally displays the status of the inspected poultry eggs in a grid shape through the display screen 2, so that the staff can see the development status of the poultry egg embryos at a glance.

[0025] In this embodiment, the telescopic rod includes a first rod body 3, a second rod body 4 and a third rod body 5, one end of the first rod body 3 is slidably mounted in the mounting hole at one end of the handle 1, one end of the second rod body 4 is slidably mounted in the mounting hole at the other end of the first rod body 3, one end of the third rod body 5 is slidably mounted in the mounting hole at the other end of the second rod body 4, and the other end of the third rod body 5 is fixedly mounted with a second egg candling assembly 7. In this embodiment, the telescopic rod is composed of three rod bodies, and in other embodiments, the number of rod bodies constituting the telescopic rod can be determined according to actual detection requirements.

[0026] In this embodiment, a slide groove 8 extending along the length direction of the rod body is provided on the side walls of the first rod body 3, the second rod body 4 and the third rod body 5. The cross section of the slide groove 8 is T-shaped. A plurality of slide seats are slidably installed in each slide groove 8, and the first egg candling assembly 6 is fixedly installed on the slide seat.
