Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of quail egg processing technology, and more particularly to a quail egg identification and counting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Optical cables are frequently used in communication technology. They consist of a cable core (typically ranging from a few to several thousand optical fibers) and an outer protective layer. Compared to traditional symmetrical copper circuits and coaxial copper circuits, optical fibers have a much larger transmission capacity, lower attenuation, longer transmission distance, smaller size, lighter weight, no electromagnetic interference, and lower cost. They are currently the most promising communication transmission medium and are widely used in signal transmission in various sectors such as telecommunications, power, and broadcasting. They will gradually become the mainstay of future communication networks.

[0003] However, in the existing quail egg counting and identification machine, intact quail eggs sink in water, while garbage and substandard quail eggs float on the surface, requiring cleaning to prevent them from adhering to the surface of the quail eggs during transport. At the same time, the surface of the collected quail eggs may contain some feces and garbage, which will affect the accuracy of the counting and identification machine if it is not cleaned. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a quail egg identification and counting machine to solve the problems of existing quail egg identification and counting machines. In the latter, intact quail eggs sink in water, while garbage and unqualified quail eggs float on the surface, requiring cleaning to prevent them from adhering to the surface of the quail eggs during transportation. At the same time, the collected quail eggs may have some feces and garbage on their surface, which will affect the accuracy of the identification and counting machine if they are not cleaned.

[0005] This application provides a quail egg counting and identification machine. It includes: a tank, a conveyor belt mounted on the inner wall of the tank, a first motor mounted on one side of the outer wall of the tank, a rotating rod fixedly mounted on one side of the first motor, a first gear fixedly mounted on one side of the rotating rod, a second gear meshing with the surface of the first gear, a third gear meshing with the surface of the second gear, a roller fixedly mounted on one side of the third gear, the roller being mounted on the inner wall of the tank, a cleaning brush fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the roller, and a feed inlet mounted at the top of the tank.

[0006] With the above scheme, when quail eggs are conveyed on the conveyor belt, since the quail eggs are transported from water, the first motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear to rotate. The first gear meshes with the second and third gears, which in turn drive the roller to rotate. Then, the cleaning brush rotates with the roller to clean the quail eggs on the conveyor belt, removing water, dust, and debris from the surface, thus improving the accuracy of the counting machine's identification.

[0007] In some embodiments, the top end of the conveyor belt is provided with a plurality of partitions, and the partitions are arranged in a V-shape between each other.

[0008] With the above solution, the section of the conveyor belt that is transported up from the water is inclined, which makes it impossible for the quail eggs to be stacked. The partition in the V-shaped groove formed by the conveyor belt allows the quail eggs to fit better in the V-shaped groove, making it easier for the quail eggs to be identified in the main body of the counting machine.

[0009] In some embodiments, a pump body is installed on the outer wall of the tank, and a pipe is connected to the pump body. A connecting pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the pipe. The connecting pipe is installed on the inner wall of the tank and is located on one side of the roller. Several through holes are opened at the bottom end of the connecting pipe.

[0010] With the above solution, when quail eggs are transported on the conveyor belt, since the quail eggs are transported from water, the operating pump body allows air to enter the connecting pipe through the pipe and then exit through the through hole, cleaning the quail eggs during transport and removing dust and water from their surface.

[0011] In some embodiments, a counting machine body is installed at the top of the tank, a feeding port is opened on one side of the counting machine body, and a collection tank is installed on the outer wall of the counting machine body.

[0012] Through the above solution, the camera of the counting machine body can detect quail eggs from all angles, capturing images of each quail egg. The camera frame rate ensures that the quail eggs are photographed without shadows or reflections, effectively improving the recognition accuracy of minor defects. Stepless light adjustment: the light source current can be adjusted with high precision according to the different brightness characteristics of quail eggs, ensuring that the quail eggs can be captured with the clearest images. The counting machine body uses On Semiconductor sensors with ultra-high resolution and the smallest identifiable defects. Unqualified quail eggs fall into the collection tank through the feeding port for collection.

[0013] In some embodiments, a second motor is installed on one side of the tank, a threaded rod is fixedly installed on one side of the second motor, a threaded block is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod, an installation plate is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the threaded block, and a plurality of scrapers are installed at the bottom end of the installation plate, the scrapers being arranged in a U-shape.

[0014] With the above method, when quail eggs enter the tank through the feed inlet and fall into the water in the tank, qualified quail eggs will sink to the bottom. The second motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, causing the threaded block to move threadedly on the surface of the threaded rod. Then, the mounting plate moves left and right on the inner wall of the tank, causing the scraper to move left and right on the inner wall of the tank. Because there are gaps between the scrapers, the resistance of the water flow can be reduced, making it easier to push away impurities and floating quail eggs. By pushing and cleaning, impurities and floating quail eggs are prevented from sticking to the quail eggs on the conveyor belt.

[0015] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the groove is symmetrically provided with grooves, the inner wall of the groove is symmetrically provided with sliding grooves, and a slider is movably sleeved inside the sliding groove. The slider is symmetrically installed on both sides of the threaded block.

[0016] With the above scheme, when the threaded block moves along the surface of the threaded rod, it also slides in the groove, which in turn makes the slider in the groove. The slider and the groove play a good limiting role and provide stability for the movement of the threaded block.

[0017] In some embodiments, a gear disk is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the threaded rod, and a gear belt is meshed with the surface of the gear disk.

[0018] With the above scheme, when the threaded rod is driven, it drives the gear disk to rotate, which in turn drives the gear belt to rotate. The gear belt can drive the other side to rotate synchronously, so that the threaded blocks on both sides can move simultaneously. Therefore, the gear belt plays a very good linkage role.

[0019] In some embodiments, a discharge port is provided on one side of the tank, a recycling tank is fixedly installed on one side of the tank, and a filter screen is movably installed on the inner wall of the recycling tank.

[0020] With the above method, when quail eggs contain garbage or foreign objects and float on the water surface, they are pushed out of the discharge port and fall into the recycling tank. They then fall onto the filter screen for easy sorting and subsequent processing.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] 1. When quail eggs are conveyed on the conveyor belt, since the eggs are transported from water, the first motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear to rotate. The first gear meshes with the second and third gears, which in turn drive the roller to rotate. Then, the cleaning brush rotates with the roller to clean the quail eggs on the conveyor belt, removing water, dust, and debris from their surfaces. This prevents water, dust, and debris from adhering to the surface of the quail eggs on the conveyor belt. This cleaning improves the accuracy of the counting machine's identification, allowing the counting machine to identify eggs more effectively.

[0023] 2. When quail eggs enter the tank through the feed inlet and fall into the water, qualified quail eggs will sink to the bottom. The second motor drives the threaded rod to rotate, causing the threaded block to move threadedly on the surface of the threaded rod. Then, the mounting plate moves left and right on the inner wall of the tank, causing the scraper to move left and right on the inner wall of the tank. Because there are gaps between the scrapers, the resistance of the water flow can be reduced, making it easier to push away impurities and floating quail eggs. By pushing and cleaning, impurities and floating quail eggs are prevented from sticking to the quail eggs on the conveyor belt.

[0037] To facilitate understanding of the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] This application provides a quail egg counting and identification machine. For example... Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes: a tank 1, a conveyor belt 2 installed on the inner wall of the tank 1, a first motor 4 installed on one side of the outer wall of the tank 1, a rotating rod 5 fixedly installed on one side of the first motor 4, a first gear 6 fixedly installed on one side of the rotating rod 5, a second gear 7 meshing with the surface of the first gear 6, a third gear 8 meshing with the surface of the second gear 7, a roller 9 fixedly installed on one side of the third gear 8, the roller 9 is installed on the inner wall of the tank 1, a cleaning brush 10 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the roller 9, and a feed inlet 11 is installed at the top of the tank 1.

[0039] When quail eggs are conveyed on conveyor belt 2, since the quail eggs are transported from water, the first motor 4 is activated, which drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 6 to rotate. The first gear 6 meshes with the second gear 7 and the third gear 8 to rotate, thereby driving the roller 9 to rotate. Then, the cleaning brush 10 rotates with the roller 9 to clean the quail eggs on conveyor belt 2, removing water, dust and debris from the surface, thus improving the accuracy of the identification of the main body 16 of the counting machine.

[0040] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, a plurality of partitions 3 are provided at the top of the conveyor belt 2, and the two partitions 3 are arranged in a V-shape.

[0041] The section of the conveyor belt 2 that is transported up from the water is inclined, which makes it impossible for the quail eggs to be stacked. The partition 3 forms a V-shaped groove on the conveyor belt 2, which allows the quail eggs to fit better in the V-shaped groove, so that the quail eggs can be better identified in the main body 16 of the counting machine.

[0042] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, a pump body 12 is installed on the outer wall of the tank 1, a pipe 13 is connected to the pump body 12, a connecting pipe 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the pipe 13, the connecting pipe 14 is installed on the inner wall of the tank 1, the connecting pipe 14 is located on one side of the roller 9, and a plurality of through holes 15 are opened at the bottom end of the connecting pipe 14.

[0043] When quail eggs are conveyed on conveyor belt 2, since the quail eggs are transported from water, the operating pump body 12 causes air to enter the connecting pipe 14 through pipe 13 and then be discharged through through hole 15, cleaning the quail eggs during transportation and removing dust and water from their surfaces.

[0044] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, a counting machine body 16 is installed at the top of the tank 1, a feeding port 17 is opened on one side of the counting machine body 16, and a collection tank 18 is installed on the outer wall of the counting machine body 16.

[0045] The camera on the main body 16 of the counting machine performs 360° detection without blind spots, capturing images of each quail egg. The camera frame rate ensures that the quail eggs are photographed without shadows or reflections, effectively improving the accuracy of identifying minor defects. Stepless light adjustment: the light source current can be precisely adjusted according to the different brightness characteristics of quail eggs to ensure that the quail eggs can be captured with the clearest images. The main body 16 of the counting machine uses an On Semiconductor sensor with ultra-high resolution and the smallest identifiable defects. Unqualified quail eggs fall into the collection tank 18 through the feeding port 17 for collection.

[0046] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, a second motor 19 is installed on one side of the tank 1, a threaded rod 20 is fixedly installed on one side of the second motor 19, a threaded block 21 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 20, an installation plate 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the threaded block 21, and a plurality of scrapers 23 are installed at the bottom of the installation plate 22, and the scrapers 23 are arranged in a U-shape.

[0047] When quail eggs enter the tank 1 through the feed inlet 11 and fall into the water in the tank 1, qualified quail eggs will sink to the bottom. The second motor 19 drives the threaded rod 20 to rotate, causing the threaded block 21 to move threadedly on the surface of the threaded rod 20. Then, the mounting plate 22 moves left and right on the inner wall of the tank 1, causing the scraper 23 to move left and right on the inner wall of the tank 1. Since there is a gap between the scrapers 23, the resistance of the water flow can be reduced, making it easier to push impurities and floating quail eggs. By pushing and cleaning, impurities and floating quail eggs are prevented from sticking to the quail eggs on the conveyor belt 2.

[0048] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, grooves 24 are symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the groove 1, and sliding grooves 25 are symmetrically opened on the inner wall of the grooves 24. A slider 26 is movably sleeved inside the sliding groove 25, and the slider 26 is symmetrically installed on both sides of the threaded block 21.

[0049] When the threaded block 21 moves threadedly on the surface of the threaded rod 20, it also slides in the groove 24, which in turn causes the slider 26 to move in the slide groove 25. The slider 26 and the slide groove 25 play a good limiting role and provide stability for the movement of the threaded block 21.

[0050] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, a gear disk 27 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the threaded rod 20, and a gear belt 28 is meshed on the surface of the gear disk 27.

[0051] When the threaded rod 20 is driven, it drives the gear disk 27 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear belt 28 to rotate. The gear belt 28 can drive the other side to rotate synchronously, so that the threaded blocks 21 on both sides can move simultaneously. Therefore, the gear belt 28 plays a good linkage role.

[0052] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, a discharge port 29 is provided on one side of the tank body 1, a recycling tank 30 is fixedly installed on one side of the tank body 1, and a filter screen 31 is movably installed on the inner wall of the recycling tank 30.

[0053] When quail eggs contain garbage or foreign objects, or when they float on the water surface, they are pushed out of the discharge port 29 and fall into the recycling tank 30. They then fall onto the filter screen 31 for easy cleaning and subsequent processing.

For example, in the claims, any of the claimed embodiments can be used in any combination.

[0055] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them.
