Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of egg crack detection, in particular to a non-destructive egg inspection device. Background Technique

[0002] The eggs in the breeding farm need to be cleaned and detected before being packaged. The detection includes a crack detection, that is, checking whether there are cracks in the eggshell. If there are cracks in the eggs, usually these eggs need to be removed from the products as defective or waste products.

[0003] At present, the main method of egg crack detection is lamp inspection. Although the lamp sorting machine can detect the cracks in eggs, after the detection, the eggs with cracks are usually marked with codes, and then the eggs with codes are manually taken out.

[0004] Although the above method can complete the sorting of eggs with cracks, it is laborious to manually take out multiple eggs with cracks, which increases the labor force and reduces the work efficiency.

[0005] In view of this, this technical solution proposes a non-destructive egg inspection device to better solve the above-mentioned problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a non-destructive egg inspection device to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows: A non-destructive egg inspection device includes a sorting table. An egg conveying tray is rotatably installed inside the sorting table. A driving motor is fixed at the bottom of the sorting table, and the output end of the driving motor is connected to the bottom of the egg conveying tray. An egg conveying groove is opened inside the egg conveying tray;

[0008] An egg flow bin is connected through the left side of the sorting table, and a second support leg is fixed on the left bottom of the egg flow bin;

[0009] A fixing frame is fixed on the top right of the sorting table, and an ultrasonic flaw detector is fixed on the inner top of the fixing frame above the right egg conveying groove;

[0010] An inclined egg conveying bin is connected through the right side of the sorting table at a position corresponding to the right egg conveying groove. A damaged egg diversion bin is connected through the front of the egg conveying bin and is inclined. A guiding plate is hinged inside the egg conveying bin, and an electric push rod is rotatably installed between the guiding plate and the rear of the top of the egg conveying bin.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the sorting table is fixed with three support legs in a triangular shape.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, there are at least four egg conveying grooves, and the egg conveying grooves are annularly distributed on the inner edge of the egg conveying tray.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, an inclined guiding table is arranged below the right side inside the sorting table and below the right egg conveying groove.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the inside of the egg flow bin is of an inclined structure, and the lowest part of the inclined structure is on the right side. The right side of the egg flow bin is arranged opposite to the left egg conveying groove.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, a first receiving box is fixed on the right side of the egg conveying bin, a second receiving box is fixed at one end of the damaged egg diversion bin far away from the egg conveying bin. Support frames are fixed at the bottoms of the egg conveying bin and the damaged egg diversion bin, and the other sides of the support frames are connected to the first receiving box and the second receiving box through support rods.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, a PLC controller is installed behind the egg flow bin through a fixing frame, and the PLC controller is electrically connected to a driving motor, an ultrasonic flaw detector, and an electric push rod through wires.

[0017] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: it is convenient to better perform automatic sorting and flaw detection processing on eggs in a pipeline manner, and at the same time, the eggs can be automatically collected and stored in categories, saving manpower and increasing work efficiency.

[0018] 1. In the present utility model, the PLC controller controls the driving motor to drive the egg conveying tray to rotate, and the eggs are poured into the egg flow bin. Since the lower part inside the egg flow bin is of an inclined structure, the eggs inside the egg flow bin automatically roll towards the inside of the sorting table at this time. When the egg conveying groove opened inside the egg conveying tray is opposite to the egg flow bin, the eggs automatically enter the inside of the egg conveying groove at this time, and the eggs can be orderly conveyed below the ultrasonic flaw detector for flaw detection monitoring.

[0019] 2. In the present utility model, the eggs after detection automatically roll into the egg conveying bin under the action of the inclined guiding table. When the eggs have no cracks, the PLC controller controls the electric push rod to drive the guiding plate to flip and fit with the rear inner wall of the egg conveying bin. At this time, the eggs without cracks roll into the inside of the first receiving box for collection. When there are cracks on the eggs, the PLC controller controls the electric push rod to drive the guiding plate to close the egg conveying bin. At this time, the cracked eggs enter the inside of the second receiving box through the damaged egg diversion bin for collection. Description of the Drawings

[0025] Next, a non-destructive egg inspection device according to an embodiment of the present utility model will be described in detail in conjunction with Figures 1 - 3 the following.

[0026] Refer to Figures 1 - 2 As shown in the figure, a non-destructive egg inspection device includes a sorting table 1. The bottom of the sorting table 1 is fixedly provided with a first leg 2 in a triangular shape. An egg conveying tray 3 is rotatably installed inside the sorting table 1. A driving motor 4 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sorting table 1, and the output end of the driving motor 4 is connected to the bottom of the egg conveying tray 3. An egg conveying groove 5 is formed inside the egg conveying tray 3, and the egg conveying groove 5 is annularly distributed at the inner edge of the egg conveying tray 3, and the number of the egg conveying grooves 5 is not less than four. An inclined guiding table 6 is arranged below the right side of the inner part of the sorting table 1 and below the right egg conveying groove 5.

[0027] Refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an egg flow bin 7 is connected through the left side of the sorting table 1. The right side of the egg flow bin 7 is arranged opposite to the left egg conveying groove 5. A second leg 8 is fixedly installed at the left bottom of the egg flow bin 7. The inside of the egg flow bin 7 is of an inclined structure, and the lowest part of the inclined structure is located on the right side.

[0028] Refer toFigures 1 - 2 As shown, a fixing frame 9 is fixedly installed on the upper right side of the top of the sorting table 1, and an ultrasonic flaw detector 10 is fixedly installed above the right egg conveying trough 5 at the inner top of the fixing frame 9.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 - 3 As shown, an inclined egg conveying bin 11 is connected through the position on the right side of the sorting table 1 opposite to the right egg conveying trough 5, and a damaged egg diversion bin 12 arranged obliquely is connected through the front of the inside of the egg conveying bin 11. A guiding plate 13 is hinged inside the egg conveying bin 11, and an electric push rod 14 is rotatably installed between the guiding plate 13 and the rear of the top of the egg conveying bin 11. A PLC controller 18 is installed behind the egg flow bin 7 through a fixing frame, and the PLC controller 18 is electrically connected to the driving motor 4, the ultrasonic flaw detector 10, and the electric push rod 14 through wires. The PLC controller 18 is a Siemens PLC controller.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a first receiving box 15 is fixedly installed on the right side of the egg conveying bin 11, a second receiving box 16 is fixedly installed at one end of the damaged egg diversion bin 12 away from the egg conveying bin 11, and support frames 17 are fixedly installed at the bottoms of the egg conveying bin 11 and the damaged egg diversion bin 12.
