Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of egg candling equipment, in particular to an egg candling device for hatching. Background Art

[0002] Egg candling refers to the use of an egg candling lamp to examine the chicken eggs (or other poultry eggs) in the dark after the eggs have been incubated for a certain period of time, in order to check the development of the chicken embryo and remove unfertilized eggs and early dead embryo eggs.

[0003] In the field of scientific research, egg candling is an important means of observing embryonic development. The existing egg candling device includes a box, an egg candling lamp, a camera and an egg tray. After placing the eggs on the egg tray, it is placed in the box. The box is fixed with an egg candling lamp and a camera. The egg tray is moved by the egg tray slide rail and the egg tray drive mechanism set in the box to complete the egg candling operation of multiple rows of eggs on the egg tray. The current equipment has the following problems when in use: 1. In order to make the eggs stable, the egg groove on the egg tray is deep, and the camera will be partially blocked by the egg tray when shooting. 2. The camera can only shoot in a fixed position. If you want to shoot embryos from multiple angles, you need to manually rotate the eggs and put them back into the box for egg candling. Utility Model Content

[0007] A return spring is arranged on the top of the movable rod of the egg-illuminating lamp above the egg tray, and the movable rod of the egg-illuminating lamp below the egg tray is connected to the telescopic driving mechanism;

[0008] A driving rod meshing with the gear is arranged on one side of the egg-illuminating lamp above and below the egg tray, and the driving rod drives the gear to rotate forward and reversely.

[0009] Furthermore, the driving rod is a worm or a rack.

[0010] Furthermore, the telescopic driving mechanism is a cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, limit plates are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the gear.

[0012] The utility model has the beneficial effects that, through the design of the movable rod, the gear, the telescopic driving mechanism and the driving rod, two egg-illuminating lamps can clamp the egg body and lift it from the egg tray, and rotate it to achieve complete shooting, thereby greatly improving the work efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to better understand the present invention, Figures 1 to 4 The implementation modes of the present utility model will be explained in detail.

[0019] The egg-illuminating device of the utility model comprises a box body (not shown for the convenience of the view), an egg-illuminating lamp 2, a camera 3 and an egg tray 4. An egg tray slide rail 5, an egg tray 7 and an egg tray drive mechanism 6 are arranged in the box body. The egg tray drive mechanism 6 preferably adopts a lead screw driven by a motor, and a nut 601 on the lead screw is fixedly connected to the egg tray 7, and the egg tray 7 can be slidably arranged on the egg tray slide rail 5. The egg tray 7 is a square frame, and a sinking step 701 is arranged inside for placing the egg tray 4. A lifting mechanism for driving the egg tray 4 to move up and down is arranged on the sinking step 701, and a small cylinder 702 is preferably used for the lifting mechanism. A plurality of egg grooves 401 are arranged on the egg tray 4, and an opening is arranged at the bottom of the egg groove 401, so that the egg-illuminating lamp 2 below the egg tray 4 passes through and holds up the egg body 1. A row of egg-illuminating lamps 2 corresponding to the egg grooves 401 are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the egg tray 4, respectively. A camera 3 corresponding to the egg-illuminating lamp 2 is arranged on one side of the egg-illuminating lamp 2 above the egg tray 4, and the camera 3 is connected to a computer.

[0020] The egg lighting lamp 2 comprises a lamp body 201, a movable rod 202, a gear 203 and a rubber cover 204. The front end of the lamp body 201 is fixedly connected to the rubber cover 204, and a lamp bead is arranged at the front end of the lamp body 201. The rear end of the lamp body 201 is fixedly connected to the movable rod 202. The middle of the movable rod 202 is a square rod 2021. The center of the gear 203 is a square hole matched with the square rod 2021, and the gear 203 can be slidably sleeved on the square rod 2021. Of course, the middle of the movable rod 202 can also be set as a polygonal rod, as long as the gear 203 can drive the movable rod 202 to rotate together, and the gear 203 can slide up and down along the movable rod 202.

[0021] A return spring 205 is arranged on the top of the movable rod 202 of the egg-illuminating lamp 2 above the egg tray 4, and the top of the return spring 205 is pressed against the inner wall of the box. The movable rod 202 of the egg-illuminating lamp 2 below the egg tray 4 is connected to a telescopic driving mechanism, and the preferred telescopic driving mechanism is a cylinder 206. When the cylinder 206 pushes the egg-illuminating lamp 2 below the egg tray 4 to move upward, the egg-illuminating lamp 2 above the egg tray 4 is pushed upward by the egg body 1, and when the egg-illuminating lamp 2 above the egg tray 4 moves downward, the return spring 205 gives the egg-illuminating lamp 2 a downward thrust.

[0022] A driving rod meshing with the gear 203 is respectively arranged on one side of the egg-illuminating lamp 2 above and below the egg tray 4, and the driving rod drives the gear 203 to rotate forward and reversely. The driving rod is a worm or a rack, preferably as Figure 2 The worm 208 shown in the figure, the threaded segments of the worm 208 can be arranged on the rod in sections corresponding to the number of gears 203. Figure 2 The worm 208 is shown as a segmented arrangement. Alternatively, a whole thread segment may be used on the entire rod. A drive motor 209 is arranged at the end of the worm 208.

[0023] In order to limit the up and down movement of the gear 203, the utility model sets a limit plate 207 on the upper and lower surfaces of the gear. Preferably, the limit plate 207 is C-shaped, and the end of the limit plate 207 is fixed to the box body through a fixing rod.

[0024] When the utility model is used, the egg tray 4 with the egg bodies 1 arranged is placed on the egg tray frame 7 of the box body, and the egg tray frame driving mechanism 6 drives the egg tray frame 7 to move forward, the first row of egg bodies 1 of the egg tray 4 is located between the upper and lower rows of egg lighting lamps 2, and then the small cylinder 702 drives the egg tray 4 to rise a certain distance (about 1 cm), the upper row of egg lighting lamps 2 contact the egg bodies 1, and then the lower row of egg lighting lamps 2 rise under the drive of the cylinder 206, contact the egg bodies 1 and lift the egg bodies 1 from the egg tray 4, the camera 3 takes pictures, and then the driving rod drives the egg lighting lamps 2 to rotate a certain angle and the camera 3 takes pictures again. After the photo is taken, the lower row of egg lighting lamps 2 fall, and the egg bodies 1 are placed in the egg tray 4, and then the egg tray frame driving mechanism 6 drives the egg tray frame 7 to move forward one station, and the second row of egg bodies 1 of the egg tray are located between the upper and lower rows of egg lighting lamps 2, and the above steps are repeated to perform the egg lighting operation on the egg bodies 1.

[0025] Although the above text and the drawings in the specification have shown and described the embodiments of the present invention, it is understandable to those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
