When an element is referred to as being “connected to” another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0026] The directions or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operate in a specific direction. Therefore, they should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0027] In the description of the present invention, “plurality” means two or more.

[0028] Please also refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 The present invention now provides a description of a fertilized egg sorting device. The device comprises a sorting rack 1 and a lighting fixture 2. The sorting rack 1 comprises a plurality of support shafts 11, which are arranged in a sequentially spaced relationship along a first horizontal direction. The lengths of the support shafts 11 extend along a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction, and two adjacent support shafts 11 are used to support eggs. The lighting fixture 2 is configured to emit a light beam upward. The lighting fixture 2 is located below the support shafts 11 and is connected to the sorting rack 1. The lighting fixture 2 is movable in both the first and second horizontal directions.

[0029] Compared to the prior art, the present invention provides a fertilized egg sorting device that places eggs between two adjacent support shafts 11, thereby supporting the eggs on the two adjacent support shafts 11. Two adjacent support shafts 11 can support multiple eggs, and the eggs supported by the two adjacent support shafts 11 are arranged sequentially along the length of the support shafts 11. By moving the lighting fixture 2 along a first horizontal direction, the lighting fixture 2 can reach between any two adjacent support shafts 11. The lighting fixture 2 emits a light beam upward, and then moves along a second horizontal direction, thereby individually identifying the eggs supported by the two adjacent support shafts 11 and sorting out the fertilized or unfertilized eggs. Because the sorting device only has one lighting fixture 2, it can avoid the problem of multiple lamps being turned on simultaneously during the egg sorting process, which leads to waste of resources.

[0030] In some embodiments, in order to realize the movement of the lighting fixture 2 along the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction, the following methods can be used: Figure 1 The structure shown. Figure 1 The fertilized egg sorting device further includes a slide rail 3 and a slider 4. The length of the slide rail 3 is arranged along the second horizontal direction, and the slide rail 3 is slidably connected to the sorting rack 1 along the first horizontal direction. The slider 4 is slidably connected to the slide rail 3, and the lighting fixture 2 is fixedly connected to the slider 4. The lighting fixture 2 is connected to the sorting rack 1 via the slider 4 and the slide rail 3. The lighting fixture 2 moves along the second horizontal direction by sliding the slider 4 along the length of the slide rail 3, and moves along the first horizontal direction by sliding the slide rail 3.

[0031] In some embodiments, in order to realize the sliding connection between the slide rail 3 and the sorting rack 1 along the first horizontal direction, the following method can be used: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The structure shown. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The sorting rack 1 further comprises two fixed shafts 12, the length of which is arranged along a first horizontal direction. The fertilized egg sorting device further comprises two sliding rings 5. The two sliding rings 5 ​​are slidably mounted on the two fixed shafts 12, and the sliding rings 5 ​​are fixedly connected to the slide rails 3. The sliding engagement between the sliding rings 5 ​​and the fixed shafts 12 realizes the sliding connection between the slide rails 3 and the sorting rack 1.

[0032] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fertilized egg sorting device further includes two anti-slip members 6. The two anti-slip members 6 are fixedly mounted at both ends of the slide rail 3 in the longitudinal direction to limit the sliding range of the slider 4. The two anti-slip members 6 limit the position of the slider 4 and prevent the slider 4 from sliding off the slide rail 3.

[0033] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the sliding of the slider 4, the following method can be used: Figure 1 The structure shown. Figure 1 The fertilized egg sorting device further includes a drive shaft 7. The length direction of the drive shaft 7 is arranged along the second horizontal direction and one end is fixedly connected to the slider 4. The operator can hold the drive shaft 7 to drive the slider 4 to slide.

[0034] In some embodiments, the side wall of the drive shaft 7 is provided with knurling to prevent the operator's hands from slipping.

[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 1The fertilized egg sorting device also includes a driving screw 8, a screw nut 9 and a driving motor 10. The length direction of the driving screw 8 is arranged along the first horizontal direction and is rotatably connected to the sorting frame 1. The screw nut 9 is threadedly connected to the driving screw 8 and fixedly connected to the slide rail 3. The body of the driving motor 10 is fixed on the sorting frame 1, and the output shaft of the driving motor 10 is connected to one end of the driving screw 8. When the eggs on two adjacent support shafts 11 are sorted, the output shaft of the driving motor 10 drives the driving screw 8 to rotate, so that the screw nut 9 drives the slide rail 3 to slide until the lighting fixture 2 moves between the next two adjacent support shafts 11. Then, the operator only needs to operate the sliding of the slider 4.

[0036] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 The support shaft 11 is provided with a flexible sleeve 110. Two adjacent support shafts 11 support the eggs through their respective flexible sleeves 110, thereby preventing the eggs from being broken. In this embodiment, the flexible sleeve 110 can be made of cloth or rubber.

[0037] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The fertilized egg sorting device further includes a support member 120 and a support plate 130. The support member 120 is fixedly connected to one of the anti-slip members 6. The support plate 130 is horizontally arranged and fixedly mounted on the support member 120, and an egg tray is placed on the support member 120. The support member 120 is fixedly connected to the slide rail 3 via the anti-slip member 6, allowing the support member 120 and the support plate 130 to slide along the slide rail 3. In this embodiment, an egg tray for holding eggs is placed on the support plate 130, and an operator places the sorted fertilized or unfertilized eggs on the egg tray.

[0038] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The fertilized egg sorting device further includes a plurality of stoppers 140. These stoppers 140 are sequentially arranged around the circumference of the support plate 130 and are fixedly connected to the support plate 130, with their top surfaces positioned above the support plate 130. The stoppers 140 position the egg trays on the support plate 130, preventing them from falling off.

[0039] In the present invention, when the operator cannot accurately determine whether one of the eggs is a fertilized egg, the operator can roll the egg in place so that the light beam illuminates different parts of the egg, thereby accurately determining whether the egg is fertilized.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
