Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of egg candling devices, and more specifically, to an egg candling device used for egg screening. Background Art
[0002] An egg candling device is a device used for egg screening. It usually uses optical technology and uses cameras or sensors to detect the appearance characteristics of eggs, such as size, shape, color and surface defects. Through these tests, the egg candling device can automatically distinguish and classify eggs of different qualities. This device is widely used in the egg production and processing industry. It can improve production efficiency, ensure product quality, and reduce the need for manual screening. Through the automated egg screening process, the egg candling device helps to reduce costs and improve the overall efficiency of the production line. The existing egg candling method usually uses a single light source egg candling device with a manual handheld flashlight to observe and identify hatching eggs one by one. For a general hatchery, the hatching volume may reach tens of thousands, while the batch size of a vaccine production enterprise is more than 60,000. According to the current egg candling method, a large amount of manpower is required, and the intermediate operation will cause cross-flow of personnel, making the production site crowded and chaotic. In addition, according to the current working method, it takes at least 6 hours to candl 60,000 eggs each time. The staff candling eggs for a long time and continuously candling eggs easily leads to visual fatigue, increasing the risk of missed and misjudgment, and also affects the normal hatching and development process of the embryo.
[0003] In the existing egg candling process, eggs usually need to be placed on a carrier plate, and the eggs are observed by clamping the carrier plate on the top of the egg candling device. However, the currently used carrier plate does not have a fixing device. During the movement, the eggs on the carrier plate are easy to fall off and cause damage. In order to solve this problem, we propose an egg candling device for egg screening.
[0004] The main limitation of the egg candling machines currently on the market is that after completing the inspection of the quality of the eggs, manual operation is still required to remove the unqualified eggs in the tray. This manual processing method has a series of problems, including cumbersome operation, long time consumption and low efficiency. Since the current egg candling technology cannot realize automated processing of unqualified eggs, a large amount of human resources are required in the production process, and the errors and inconsistencies that may be introduced by manual operation are increased. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to find a technical solution that can improve the overall efficiency of the egg candling machine. Utility Model Content
