Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of embryo detection, and more particularly to a spectral device for identifying the sex of embryos in eggs. Background Art

[0002] In commercial hatcheries, culling male chicks from laying hen lines is still a routine procedure. Due to the genetics of laying hen lines, it is impractical to keep male chicks for meat production. An existing method measures the concentration of estrogen sulfate in the allantoic fluid after 9 days of incubation. The fluid is extracted through a small hole (aperture of about 1 mm) in the eggshell with a fine needle. The prediction accuracy is 98%, but the analysis of the fluid takes about 4 hours, which is too long for large-scale application in hatcheries. Some spectroscopic methods, such as Raman spectroscopy or infrared, may also be suitable for sexing. These methods require opening the egg to allow optical direct access to the embryonic blood vessels. Opening the eggshell can have a significant impact on the embryo through bacterial contamination or other negative effects on embryonic development and hatchability.

[0003] Among them, the patent with announcement number CN215640812U discloses an embryo monitoring device, including a working platform, a monitoring component arranged on the working platform, a first driving mechanism and a second driving mechanism; the monitoring component includes a light source module, a polarizer module, a modulator module, a condenser module, an objective lens module and a camera module arranged in sequence along the optical path, and the embryo sample is located between the condenser module and the objective lens module; When this structure is in use, the optical axis of the light path is moved to the embryo sample to be monitored, so that a large number of embryos can be monitored through a single monitoring component. However, this structure cannot achieve the function of wrapped detection of the sample when in use, resulting in part of the light being absorbed by the substance inside the sample when it is irradiated on the sample, resulting in more shadows, which affects the detection accuracy. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to overcome the above defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a spectral device for identifying the sex of embryos in eggs, aiming to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] The present invention provides the following technical solution: a spectral device for identifying the sex of an embryo in an egg, comprising a base, on which a detection component is arranged; The detection assembly includes a first support plate installed on the top of the base by bolts, the top of the first support plate is rotatably connected to a first turntable with an adjustable angle, the top of the first turntable is installed with a mounting plate by bolts, the top of the mounting plate is provided with a support tube, and a first spectrum detection head for illumination is embedded in the support tube; A support ring is clamped on the top of the support tube, and the top shape of the support ring is tilted downward, and the middle part of the support ring is rotatably connected to a second spectrum detection head for illumination, and a plurality of fill lights for fill light are distributed on the support ring, and a guide tube is installed on the top of the second spectrum detection head by bolts, and a vertical plate is fixedly provided on the outer side of the first turntable, and a display screen is installed on the vertical plate by bolts, and a support arc bar is rotatably connected on one side of the vertical plate, and the vertical cross-section shape of the support arc bar is set to be an arc, and a limit knob is slidably connected to the support arc bar, and one end of the limit knob extends to the guide tube and is threadedly connected to the guide tube.

[0006] It can be seen that in the above technical solution, the guide tube is disengaged from the limit knob, so that the support ring and the second spectral detection head can be disengaged from the first spectral detection head when the guide tube is displaced, which makes it easy to place the sample in the first spectral detection head, and reset by the guide tube, the support ring and the second spectral detection head, so that the second spectral detection head and the first spectral detection head can be covered on the outside of the sample, realizing the function of wrapping up the sample. When the light emitted by the first spectral detection head and the second spectral detection head is irradiated on the sample, part of the light will be absorbed by the substance inside the sample, and part of the light will pass through the sample and be captured by each detection head. Since sample embryos of different genders differ in chemical composition, these differences will lead to different spectral characteristics. Therefore, the gender of the embryo can be identified by analyzing the spectral information. The support tube and the support ring capture the light passing through the sample and generate a spectral image through the display screen. There is no need to open or pierce the eggshell, thereby avoiding damage to the embryo and potential contamination.

[0007] Optionally, in a possible implementation, two second support plates are provided on the outer side of the first support plate, and each of the second support plates is mounted on the base by bolts, and the two second support plates are rotatably connected to an angle-adjustable vertical plate, and scale bars are fixedly provided on the outer sides of the vertical plate and the first rotating plate, and arc support rods are installed on the two vertical plates by bolts, and a guide arc groove is penetrated at one end of the arc support rod, and each of the arc support rods is stacked, and a sliding frame is sleeved on the outer side of the two arc support rods, and the two sliding frames are stacked, and a slider is fixed to the middle part of the two sliding frames, and the guide tube penetrates the slider and extends to the slider. At the top, the two sliders are respectively located in the middle of the corresponding guide arc grooves, an offset opening is formed between the slider and the slide frame, the arc support rod is slidably connected to the offset opening, the middle parts of the first support plate and the second support plate are both rotatably connected with a worm gear, and the middle part of each worm gear is fixedly provided with a rotating shaft, the two rotating shafts respectively penetrate the second support plate and the first support plate and extend to the middle parts of the first rotating plate and the vertical plate, and each rotating shaft is detachably connected to the vertical plate and the first rotating plate by bolts, a worm is provided on the outer side of the worm wheel, the worm is meshed with the worm wheel, and a handle for driving the worm to rotate is provided on the outer side of the first support plate and the second support plate; It can be seen that in the above technical scheme, each fill light can be adjusted to provide a light source for illumination, and at the same time, the top of the support ring is tilted downward so that the light emitted by the fill light can be tilted and directly irradiated on the sample, thereby improving the light penetration performance and ensuring the detection accuracy. The worm is driven to rotate by rotating the handle on the outside of the second support plate, and then the worm gear and the rotating shaft drive the vertical plate to rotate. When the vertical plate rotates, the arc support rod is displaced, and then the guide tube can be adjusted to the corresponding angle in the middle of the support ring through the dislocation mouth and the arc support rod, thereby realizing the function of adjusting the angle of the second spectral detection head. By rotating the handle on the outside of the first support plate, the first turntable, the mounting plate and the support tube can be rotated on the first support plate, which makes it easy to adjust the angle of the second spectral detection head and the sample, so that the light can contact with different positions of the sample during irradiation, thereby ensuring the accuracy during detection and facilitating the gender determination of the sample.

[0008] Technical effects and advantages of the present invention: The present invention separates the guide tube from the limit knob, and then enables the support ring and the second spectrum detection head to separate from the first spectrum detection head when the guide tube is displaced, so that the sample is easily placed in the first spectrum detection head, and is reset by the guide tube, the support ring and the second spectrum detection head, so that the second spectrum detection head and the first spectrum detection head can be covered on the outside of the sample, thereby realizing the function of wrapping the sample for detection; When the light emitted by the first spectrum detection head and the second spectrum detection head is irradiated onto the sample, part of the light will be absorbed by the substance inside the sample, and part of the light will pass through the sample and be captured by each detection head. Since sample embryos of different genders have differences in chemical composition, these differences will lead to different spectral characteristics. Therefore, the gender of the embryo can be identified by analyzing the spectral information. The support tube and the support ring capture the light passing through the sample and generate a spectral image through the display screen. There is no need to open or pierce the eggshell, thereby avoiding damage to the embryo and potential contamination. In order to adapt to samples of different varieties and different incubation conditions, the present invention can adjust each supplementary light to provide light source for illumination, and at the same time, the top of the support ring is tilted downward, so that the light emitted by the supplementary light can be tilted and directly irradiated on the sample, thereby improving the penetration performance of the light and ensuring the detection accuracy; The present invention can adjust the angle of the second spectrum detection head through the misaligned opening and the arc support rod in the middle of the support ring, thereby realizing the function of adjusting the angle of the second spectrum detection head. By rotating the handle on the outside of the first support plate, the first turntable, the mounting plate and the support tube can be rotated on the first support plate, which makes it easy to adjust the angle of the second spectrum detection head and the sample, facilitates the contact of light with different positions of the sample during irradiation, ensures the accuracy of detection, and makes it easy to determine the gender of the sample. To summarize, through the corresponding coordinated use of various structures, the second spectral detection head and the first spectral detection head can be covered on the outside of the sample to realize the function of wrapping detection of the sample. When the light emitted by the first spectral detection head and the second spectral detection head is irradiated on the sample, part of the light will be absorbed by the substance inside the sample, and part of the light will pass through the sample and be captured by each detection head. Since sample embryos of different genders have differences in chemical composition, these differences will lead to different spectral characteristics. Therefore, the gender of the embryo can be identified by analyzing the spectral information. The support tube and the support ring capture the light passing through the sample and generate a spectral image through the display screen. There is no need to open or pierce the eggshell, which avoids damage to the embryo and potential contamination. The function of the second spectral detection head and the sample angle is easy to adjust, so that the light can contact different positions of the sample during irradiation, ensuring the accuracy of the detection, and facilitating the gender determination of the sample.

[0021] As attached Figure 1 - Fig. 9 A spectral device for identifying the sex of embryos in eggs is shown. Through the detection component arranged on the base 1, the second spectral detection head 8 and the first spectral detection head 6 can be covered on the outside of the sample to realize the function of wrapping detection of the sample. When the light emitted by the first spectral detection head 6 and the second spectral detection head 8 is irradiated on the sample, part of the light will be absorbed by the substance inside the sample, and part of the light will pass through the sample and be captured by each detection head. Since sample embryos of different sexes have differences in chemical composition, these differences will lead to different spectral characteristics. Therefore, the sex of the embryo can be identified by analyzing the spectral information.

A display screen 11 is installed on the vertical plate 10 by bolts. A support arc bar 12 is rotatably connected to one side of the vertical plate 10. The vertical cross-section shape of the support arc bar 12 is set to an arc shape, and a limit knob 13 is slidably connected to the support arc bar 12. One end of the limit knob 13 extends to the guide tube 9 and is threadedly connected to the guide tube 9.

[0022] Two second support plates 18 are arranged on the outer side of the first support plate 2, and each second support plate 18 is installed on the base 1 by bolts. The two second support plates 18 are rotatably connected with an angle-adjustable vertical plate 19. The outer sides of the vertical plate 19 and the first rotating plate 3 are fixedly provided with a scale bar 20. The two vertical plates 19 are installed with arc support rods 25 by bolts. One end of the arc support rod 25 is penetrated by a guide arc groove 14, and each arc support rod 25 is stacked. The outer sides of the two arc support rods 25 are sleeved with a slide frame 15, and the two slide frames 15 are stacked. The middle part of the two slide frames 15 is fixed with a slider 16. The guide tube 9 penetrates the slider 16 and extends to the top of the slider 15. The two sliders 16 are respectively located at the corresponding In the middle of the guide arc groove 14, an offset opening 17 is formed between the slider 16 and the slide frame 15, and the arc support rod 25 is slidably connected to the offset opening 17. The middle parts of the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 18 are rotatably connected with a worm gear 21, and the middle part of each worm gear 21 is fixedly provided with a rotating shaft 22. The two rotating shafts 22 respectively penetrate the second support plate 18 and the first support plate 2 and extend to the middle parts of the first rotating plate 3 and the vertical plate 19, and each rotating shaft 22 is detachably connected to the vertical plate 19 and the first rotating plate 3 by bolts. A worm 23 is arranged on the outer side of the worm wheel 21, and the worm 23 is meshed with the worm wheel 21. The outer sides of the first support plate 2 and the second support plate 18 are provided with a handle 24 for driving the worm 23 to rotate.

[0023] According to the above structure, when in use, the staff installs the device at the designated position, and when testing the sample, rotates the limit knob 13 counterclockwise to disengage the guide tube 9 from the limit knob 13, and then enables the support ring 7 and the second spectrum detection head 8 to disengage from the first spectrum detection head 6 when the guide tube 9 is displaced, so that the sample is easily placed in the first spectrum detection head 6, and is reset by the guide tube 9, the support ring 7 and the second spectrum detection head 8, so that the second spectrum detection head 8 and the first spectrum detection head 6 can be covered on the outside of the sample, thereby realizing the function of wrapping the sample; At the same time, when the detection is performed, when the light emitted by the first spectrum detection head 6 and the second spectrum detection head 8 is irradiated onto the sample, part of the light will be absorbed by the substance inside the sample, and part of the light will pass through the sample and be captured by each detection head.

At the same time, in order to adapt to samples of different varieties and different incubation conditions, each fill light 26 can be adjusted to provide a light source for illumination. At the same time, the top of the support ring 7 is tilted downward, so that the light emitted by the fill light 26 can be tilted and directly irradiated on the sample, thereby improving the penetration performance of the light and ensuring the detection accuracy. When the device is in use, the handle 24 on the outside of the second support plate 18 is rotated to drive the worm 23 to rotate, and then the worm wheel 21 and the rotating shaft 22 drive the vertical plate 19 to rotate. When the vertical plate 19 rotates, the arc support rod 25 is displaced, and then the guide tube 9 can be adjusted to the corresponding angle in the middle of the support ring 7 through the offset opening 17 and the arc support rod 25, thereby realizing the function of adjusting the angle of the second spectrum detection head 8. By rotating the handle 24 on the outside of the first support plate 2, the first turntable 3, the mounting plate 4 and the support tube 5 can be rotated on the first support plate 2, which makes it easy to adjust the angle of the second spectrum detection head 8 and the sample, so that it is convenient for light to contact different positions of the sample during irradiation, thereby ensuring the accuracy during detection and facilitating gender determination of the sample.

[0024] Different from the prior art, the present application discloses a spectral device for identifying the sex of embryos in eggs. The second spectral detection head 8 and the first spectral detection head 6 can be covered on the outside of the sample to realize the function of wrapping detection of the sample. When the light emitted by the first spectral detection head 6 and the second spectral detection head 8 is irradiated on the sample, part of the light will be absorbed by the substance inside the sample, and part of the light will pass through the sample and be captured by each detection head. Since sample embryos of different sexes have differences in chemical composition, these differences will lead to different spectral characteristics. Therefore, the sex of the embryo can be identified by analyzing the spectral information. The support tube 5 and the support ring 7 capture the light passing through the sample and generate a spectral image through the display screen 11. There is no need to open or pierce the eggshell, thereby avoiding damage to the embryo and potential contamination. The second spectral detection head 8 and the sample angle can be easily adjusted, so that the light can contact with different positions of the sample during irradiation, ensuring the accuracy during detection, and facilitating the sex determination of the sample.
