Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg candlers, and in particular to an egg candler for inspecting eggs. Background Technology
[0002] An egg candler is a device used to check the embryonic development of hatching eggs. It is commonly used during incubation to help farmers determine if the eggs are fertilized, if the embryos are developing normally, and to remove infertile or dead embryos. The egg candler illuminates the egg with a light source (usually LED cold light), utilizing the translucency of the eggshell to observe the internal structure. Besides its use in farms, egg candlers are also widely used by individual farmers, who can quickly check the incubation progress of their eggs.
[0003] Existing egg candlers are used by placing eggs on a rack and shining a light on them to observe the inside. However, these devices lack a mechanism to prevent eggs from falling; they rely solely on the rack for placement. When inspecting larger eggs such as duck or goose eggs, the placement can be unstable, easily causing the embryos to fall and resulting in unnecessary losses. Therefore, they are not very effective.

[0018] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0019] like Figures 1-4 As shown, an egg candler for inspecting eggs includes a base 1, a removable cover 2 on the base 1, and an egg holder 3 fixed to the removable cover 2. The egg holder 3 has placement holes 4, and a threaded connector 5 is provided on the outside of the egg holder 3. An anti-drop structure 6 is installed on the egg holder 3 through the threaded connector 5. The base 1 and the removable cover 2 are fixedly connected by screws, and an LED cold light source is provided inside the base 1. A switch 7 is installed on the base 1, and a fixed handle 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the base 1. The fixed handles 8 are symmetrically arranged on the base 1.
[0020] When inspecting eggs, the egg candler is moved and placed in a suitable location using the fixed handle 8. After connecting the power, the egg embryo is placed on the egg holder 3, with part of the end of the egg embryo positioned inside the placement hole 4. At this point, the anti-drop structure 6 provides support to prevent the egg embryo from falling. After connecting the power, the LED cold light source inside the base 1 is activated via the switch 7. The light emitted by the light source shines onto the egg embryo through the placement hole 4. Because the eggshell has a certain degree of light transmission, the internal development of the egg embryo can be clearly seen, making it easy to promptly remove infertile or dead embryos. After inspection, the egg embryo is removed and placed in the incubation nest. When needed, the anti-drop structure 6 can be disassembled and replaced using the threaded connector 5, and can also be quickly installed, making it convenient and quick to use.
[0021] According to the above implementation scheme, the anti-fall structure 6 includes a connecting sleeve 601, a threaded hole 602, and an elastic support component 603. The threaded hole 602 is formed on the connecting sleeve 601 and is connected to the threaded connector 5. The connecting sleeve 601 is fixed to the egg tray 3 through the threaded hole 602 and the threaded connector 5. The elastic support component 603 is installed on the connecting sleeve 601 and is distributed in a ring array on the connecting sleeve 601.
[0022] The elastic support assembly 603 includes a fixed plate 6031, an adjusting seat 6032, an elastic connecting piece 6033, a T-hole 6034, an adjusting bolt 6035, a limiting plate 6036, and an elastic support piece 6037. The fixed plate 6031 is fixedly connected to the adjusting seat 6032 and is mounted on the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 601. The adjusting seat 6032 has a screw hole. The T-hole 6034 is formed on the elastic connecting piece 6033, and the elastic connecting piece 6033 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 6031. Two limiting plates 6036 are fixed to the adjusting bolt 6035, and the adjusting bolt 6035 is disposed in the T-hole 6034. The two limiting plates 6036 are clamped on the elastic connecting piece 6033. The end of the adjusting bolt 6035 is connected to the screw hole on the adjusting seat 6032. The elastic support piece 6037 is fixedly connected to the elastic connecting piece 6033.
[0023] The anti-drop structure 6, along with the elastic support component 603, supports and limits the placement of the egg embryos, preventing them from falling and ensuring their integrity. This system is suitable for inspecting larger egg embryos such as duck and goose eggs, improving the overall adaptability and safety of the egg candling device. The elastic support component 603 includes an adjustment seat 6032, an elastic connecting piece 6033, a T-hole 6034, an adjustment bolt 6035, and a limiting plate 6036. The opening size of the elastic connecting piece 6033 can be adjusted to suit different types of egg embryos, increasing its flexibility. The connecting sleeve 601 is installed on the threaded joint 5 at the lower end of the egg holder 3 through the threaded hole 602, allowing for quick installation and removal of the anti-drop structure 6. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient and fast.
[0024] When installing the anti-drop structure 6, the connecting sleeve 601 is installed onto the threaded joint 5 on the egg tray 3 using the threaded hole 602, thus fixing the anti-drop structure 6 to the egg tray 3. When placing the egg embryo, it is placed on the egg tray 3. At this time, the elastic support piece 6037 supports and limits the egg embryo, preventing it from falling and ensuring the stability of the inspection. If it is necessary to inspect larger egg embryos such as goose eggs or duck eggs, the position of the elastic support piece 6037 can be adjusted. During adjustment, the adjusting bolt 6035 is rotated, moving within the threaded hole on the adjusting seat 6032. This causes the limiting plate 6036 at the T-hole 6034 to move the elastic connecting piece 6033, changing the distance between the elastic connecting piece 6033 and the fixed plate 6031, thus changing the relative position of the elastic support piece 6037. After adjustment, the placement and inspection of egg embryos such as duck eggs and goose eggs can be performed. When needed, the anti-fall structure 6 can be completely disassembled for replacement, etc. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient and quick.
[0025] The foregoing describes the working principle, features, and beneficial effects of this utility model. Those skilled in the art will understand from the foregoing that it does not limit the utility model. The embodiments and description above illustrate the basic principles and features of this utility model. Various changes and improvements can be made to this utility model while remaining within the scope of its concept, and all such improvements should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
