Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of measuring device technology, and in particular to a device for measuring egg yolk index. Background Technology
[0002] The yolk index is the ratio of the yolk height to the yolk diameter. Currently, there are no specialized instruments for measuring the yolk index on the market. The yolk index is usually measured by separating the yolk and then using calipers to measure the diameter and height of the yolk. This process can easily lead to yolk scattering and inaccurate measurements.
[0003] Therefore, a device for measuring the yolk index is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention proposes a device for measuring the yolk index. By combining the main measuring scale and the auxiliary measuring scale, the measurement accuracy of the yolk diameter is improved. It also realizes non-contact measurement of the yolk height and diameter, avoiding the occurrence of yolk scattering.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0006] An egg yolk index measuring device includes a support frame, a fixed platform fixedly mounted on the support frame, a sliding frame slidably mounted on the bottom of the fixed platform along the horizontal direction, a micrometer adjustment knob between the sliding frame and the fixed platform, a horizontally positioned main measuring scale fixedly mounted on the sliding frame, a first positioning plate fixedly connected to the zero mark end of the main measuring scale, a secondary measuring scale slidably mounted on the main measuring scale, a second positioning plate fixedly connected to the zero mark end of the secondary measuring scale, a lead screw nut drive mechanism connected to the second positioning plate, the first positioning plate and the second positioning plate being parallel and both perpendicular to the main measuring scale, a bubble level fixedly mounted on the top of the fixed platform, a sliding platform slidably mounted on the top of the fixed platform along the horizontal direction, a window on both the fixed platform and the sliding platform being provided, the two windows being arranged opposite to each other, a glass slide for placing the egg yolk being detachably mounted on the top of the sliding platform, and a laser rangefinder for measuring the height of the egg yolk fixedly mounted on the support frame, the laser rangefinder being positioned above the sliding platform.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the distance between two adjacent scale lines on the main scale is 0.1 mm, and the secondary scale is a sliding sleeve with an open top, with the distance between two adjacent scale lines on the secondary scale being 0.98 mm.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, when the inner sides of the first positioning plate and the second positioning plate are aligned, the zero mark line of the main measuring scale and the zero mark line of the auxiliary measuring scale are aligned.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the diameter of the egg yolk is: the whole number of millimeters of the main measuring scale + N × 0.02 millimeters;
[0010] Where: N is the nth line on the secondary measuring scale that is aligned with the primary measuring scale.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the lead screw and nut drive mechanism includes a lead screw rotatably mounted on the sliding frame, the lead screw being horizontally positioned, and a nut being threaded onto the lead screw, the nut being fixedly mounted on the second positioning plate.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] Since the yolk index measuring device includes a main measuring scale and a secondary measuring scale, during the use of this device, the yolk is placed on a glass slide, and the height of the yolk is measured by a laser rangefinder. The sliding frame is moved by adjusting the knob of a micrometer until the inner side of the first positioning plate is aligned with one side of the yolk. The second positioning plate is moved by the lead screw and nut drive mechanism until the inner side of the second positioning plate is aligned with the other side of the yolk. The sliding platform is moved away from the fixed platform, and the readings of the main measuring scale and the secondary measuring scale are read to obtain the diameter of the yolk. This invention improves the measurement accuracy of the yolk diameter by cooperating with the main measuring scale and the secondary measuring scale. At the same time, it realizes non-contact measurement of the yolk diameter and height, avoiding the occurrence of yolk scattering.
[0014] This invention features a sliding platform mounted on a fixed platform. When reading the values of the main and auxiliary measuring scales, the sliding platform can be slid to the side, preventing the values on the main and auxiliary scales from being obstructed and facilitating the reading of the values on the main and auxiliary measuring scales.
[0015] The measurement accuracy of ordinary calipers is mostly 0.1 mm. This utility model, through the cooperation of the main measuring scale and the auxiliary measuring scale, can measure parts smaller than 1 mm, so that the measurement accuracy of this utility model is 0.02 mm, thereby improving the measurement accuracy of egg yolk diameter.
[0016] In this invention, the two windows facilitate observation of the positions of the first and second positioning plates through the fixed and sliding platforms, and also facilitate reading the values on the main and auxiliary measuring scales. Attached Figure Description
