Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of experimental equipment technology, specifically to a laboratory egg candler. Background Technology
[0002] In laboratory research in fields such as biology and animal husbandry, it is often necessary to observe the internal structure of eggs and the development of embryos. Traditional egg candling methods typically involve placing the egg under a common light source and observing it directly with the naked eye. This method has several drawbacks. First, the light distribution of a common light source is uneven, making it difficult to provide clear and stable illumination, thus affecting the observation results. Second, the observation angle and position are limited, preventing a comprehensive and detailed observation of the egg's internal structure. Furthermore, existing egg candling equipment is limited in function, lacking flexibility and convenience, and cannot meet the diverse research needs of laboratories. Therefore, developing a laboratory egg candling device that provides stable illumination, multi-angle observation, and multiple functions is of significant practical importance. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a laboratory egg candling device.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a laboratory egg canister, comprising:
[0005] The enclosure, base, turntable, support frame, and observation device;
[0006] The turntable is mounted on the surface of the base, the support frame is mounted above the turntable and is used to place the egg, the box is fastened to the top of the base, the turntable, the support frame and the egg are all placed inside the box, an observation port is provided on one side of the box, the observation device is mounted on the outside of the box, and the observation end of the observation device extends into the box from the observation port and faces the egg above the support frame;
[0007] The observation device includes a telescopic observation tube, an eyepiece, and an adjustment bracket. The telescopic observation tube is connected to the housing via the adjustment bracket. One end of the telescopic observation tube extends into the housing through the observation port, and the other end of the telescopic observation tube is connected to the eyepiece. An adjustment knob is provided on the body of the telescopic observation tube.
[0008] Main working principle: First, the tray is installed on the base surface, and the support frame is placed above the turntable to hold the eggs. The box body is then fastened to the base, enclosing the turntable, support frame, and eggs inside. This enclosed structure effectively reduces interference from external light, creating a relatively stable darkroom environment for egg observation, ensuring that observation is not affected by stray light and improving the clarity and accuracy of observation.
[0009] In addition, an observation port is provided on one side of the box as an observation channel. The entire observation device is installed on the outside of the box, with its observation end extending into the box through the observation port and pointing towards the egg above the support frame. This design ensures that the observation device can be directly aimed at the egg for observation, while avoiding the inconvenience and space limitations that might arise from placing the observation device entirely inside the box. The telescopic observation tube in the observation device is a key component, with an adjustment knob on its body. By turning the adjustment knob, the length of the telescopic observation tube can be changed. When observing eggs of different sizes or from different distances, the operator can adjust the length of the telescopic observation tube according to actual needs to obtain the best observation angle and clarity. For example, for smaller eggs, the length of the telescopic observation tube may need to be shortened to observe details at a closer distance; while for larger eggs or when observing the overall structure of the egg, the telescopic observation tube can be appropriately lengthened. Furthermore, the telescopic observation tube is connected to the box via an adjustment bracket. With the help of the adjustment bracket, the operator can flexibly adjust the angle of the telescopic observation tube, thereby changing the observation direction for comprehensive and detailed observation of all parts of the egg. The other end of the telescopic observation tube connects to the eyepiece, which serves as a window for the operator to directly observe the inside of the egg. The light and image, adjusted by the telescopic observation tube, are presented to the operator through the eyepiece, allowing them to clearly see the egg's internal structure, embryonic development, and other details. The eyepiece is typically designed with human vision and observation needs in mind to provide a comfortable and clear viewing experience.
[0010] When using this laboratory egg candler, first place the egg on the support rack. The turntable allows for easy rotation of the egg, positioning different parts for observation in sequence. Turn on the lighting device to illuminate the inside of the egg. The operator adjusts the telescopic observation tube to the appropriate length and angle by turning the adjustment knob and adjusting the support, then observes the egg's interior through the eyepiece. Throughout the process, the enclosed structure of the enclosure ensures a stable observation environment, while the various adjustment functions of the observation device meet diverse observation needs, thus enabling effective observation of the egg.
[0011] Preferably, the support frame is provided with a lighting hole in the vertical direction, a searchlight is provided at the bottom of the lighting hole, and a support blade is provided at the opening edge of the lighting hole, with the egg placed on the support blade.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the lighting hole gradually narrows towards the center, and a reflective mirror is attached to the inner side of the lighting hole.
[0014] Preferably, the adjustment bracket includes a rotating shaft and a telescopic rod. The two ends of the rotating shaft are connected to the two sides of the observation port, one end of the telescopic rod is connected to the rotating shaft, and the other end of the telescopic rod is connected to the telescopic observation tube.
[0015] Preferably, a light-shielding groove is provided above the observation port, and a light-shielding plate is provided in the light-shielding groove. The light-shielding plate slides along the light-shielding groove to the top of the telescopic observation tube. The light-shielding plate is provided with a slot, and a slot hole is provided on one side of the light-shielding groove. The light-shielding plate is fixed by inserting a pin into the slot and the slot hole.
[0016] Preferably, the eyepiece is a Bluetooth eyepiece.
[0017] Preferably, the base is provided with a circuit board, a switch button, a turntable button, and a light source button. The circuit board is mounted on the base, and the turntable button, the light source button, the turntable, and the support frame are connected to the circuit board.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] This invention effectively isolates the turntable, support frame, and eggs from external light and interference by fastening the box body to the base. External light fluctuations and dust will not affect the observation environment inside the box, allowing operators to observe the internal condition of the eggs under relatively stable and clean conditions, greatly improving the clarity and accuracy of observation.
[0020] The telescopic observation tube in the observation device is equipped with an adjustment knob, allowing operators to easily adjust its length and thus the observation distance. Simultaneously, combined with the adjustment bracket, the observation angle can be flexibly adjusted. This multi-angle, multi-distance observation method enables operators to precisely adjust observation parameters according to the egg's size, shape, and the specific part to be observed, allowing for comprehensive and detailed observation of the egg's internal structure, embryonic development, and other aspects, avoiding blind spots caused by improper observation angles and distances.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this utility model; the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] This embodiment discloses a laboratory egg candling device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a housing 1, a base 2, a turntable 3, a support frame 4, and an observation device 5. The turntable 3 is first installed on the surface of the base 2, and the support frame 4 is placed above the turntable 3 to hold the eggs. The housing 1 is then fastened onto the base 2, enclosing the turntable 3, support frame 4, and eggs within the housing 1. This enclosed structure effectively reduces interference from external light, creating a relatively stable darkroom environment for egg observation, ensuring that observation is not affected by stray light and improving the clarity and accuracy of the observation.
[0028] In addition, an observation port 10 is provided on one side of the box 1 as an observation channel. The observation device 5 is installed on the outside of the box 1, with its observation end extending into the box 1 through the observation port 10 and facing the egg above the support frame 4. This design ensures that the observation device 5 can be directly aimed at the egg for observation, while avoiding the inconvenience and space limitations that might result from placing the observation device 5 completely inside the box 1. The telescopic observation tube 50 in the observation device 5 is a key component, and its body is equipped with an adjustment knob 53. By rotating the adjustment knob 53, the inner tube in the telescopic observation tube 50 extends or retracts, allowing the observation end of the telescopic observation tube 50 to move closer to or further away from the egg, thereby changing the length of the telescopic observation tube 50. When it is necessary to observe eggs of different sizes or from different distances, the operator can adjust the length of the telescopic observation tube 50 according to actual needs to obtain the best observation angle and clarity. For example, for larger eggs, it may be necessary to shorten the length of the telescopic observation tube 50 to observe details at a closer distance; while for smaller eggs or when it is necessary to observe the overall structure of the egg, the telescopic observation tube 50 can be appropriately lengthened. Additionally, the telescopic observation tube 50 is connected to the housing 1 via an adjustment bracket 52. Using the adjustment bracket 52, the operator can flexibly adjust the angle of the telescopic observation tube 50, thereby changing the observation direction for comprehensive and detailed observation of all parts of the egg. The end of the telescopic observation tube 50 located outside the housing 1 is connected to the eyepiece 51, which serves as the window through which the operator directly observes the internal structure of the egg. The light and image adjusted by the telescopic observation tube 50 are presented to the operator through the eyepiece 51, allowing them to clearly see the internal structure of the egg, embryonic development, etc. The design of the eyepiece 51 typically takes into account the visual characteristics and observation needs of the human eye to provide a comfortable and clear observation experience.
[0029] When using this laboratory egg candler, first place the egg on the support 4. The egg can be easily rotated using the turntable 3, allowing different parts to be viewed sequentially. The support 4 contains a spotlight 45; turning it on illuminates the inside of the egg. The operator adjusts the telescopic observation tube 50 to the appropriate length and angle by rotating the adjustment knob 53 and adjusting the adjustment bracket 52, then observes the egg's interior through the eyepiece 51. Throughout the process, the enclosed structure of the housing 1 ensures a stable observation environment, while the various adjustment functions of the observation device 5 meet diverse observation needs, thus enabling effective observation of the egg.
[0030] In some optional embodiments, the support frame 4 is provided with a vertically oriented illumination hole 40, and a searchlight 45 is provided at the bottom to illuminate the egg. The opening edge of the illumination hole 40 is provided with support blades 41 to support the egg. The searchlight 45 provides stable illumination, making the internal structure of the egg clearer; the support blades 41 provide support for the egg and ensure the stability of the egg during observation.
[0031] In some optional embodiments, the opening edge of the illumination hole 40 is provided with a sliding groove 42, and the support blade 41 is installed in the sliding groove 42. A threaded rod 43 is provided on the outside of the support frame 4 and connected to the support blade 41. The other end of the threaded rod 43 is provided with a knob for the operator to rotate. By rotating the knob, the threaded rod 43 is rotated, causing the support blade 41 to slide within the sliding groove 42. The position of the support blade 41 can be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the egg to meet the observation needs of eggs of different sizes and improve the versatility of the egg candling device.
[0032] In some alternative embodiments, the bottom of the illumination hole 40 gradually narrows towards the center, and the inner side is attached to the reflective mirror 44. The light emitted by the searchlight 45 is reflected by the reflective mirror 44 and concentrated onto the egg. This makes the illumination more concentrated, improves the lighting effect, reduces blind spots, and makes the internal structure of the egg more clearly visible.
[0033] In some optional embodiments, the adjustment bracket 52 includes a rotating shaft 520 and a telescopic rod 521. The observation port of the rotating shaft 520 is installed on the bottom edge of the observation port 10. One end of the telescopic rod 521 is connected to the rotating shaft 520, and the other end is connected to the telescopic observation tube 50. The angle of the telescopic observation tube 50 can be adjusted by moving the telescopic rod 521 to rotate along the rotating shaft 520. At the same time, the height of the telescopic observation tube 50 can be adjusted by adjusting the extension of the telescopic rod. Specifically, the telescopic rod 521 can be a sub-tube and a main tube. The main tube is sleeved around the sub-tube, and the sub-tube can move up and down along the main tube. At the same time, the end of the main tube is provided with a clamping ring. When the sub-tube is adjusted to a suitable position, the clamping ring is used to clamp the sub-tube, thereby locking the telescopic rod 521 and completing the adjustment of the telescopic rod 521. This further increases the flexibility of the observation device 5, making it easier to adjust the observation angle and meet diverse observation needs.
[0034] In some optional embodiments, a light-shielding groove 11 is provided above the observation port 10, and a light-shielding plate 12 is installed inside the light-shielding groove 11. The light-shielding plate 12 can slide along the light-shielding groove 11 above the telescopic observation tube 50. The light-shielding plate 12 is provided with a slot 13, and a slot hole 14 is provided on one side of the light-shielding groove 11. When the light-shielding plate 12 is not needed, it is raised to the top of the light-shielding groove 11, and the slot 13 and the slot hole 14 are aligned and a pin is inserted into the slot 13 and the slot hole 14 to fix the light-shielding plate 12. When observation is needed, the light-shielding plate 12 can be lowered by removing the pin from the slot hole 14 and the slot 13, which can prevent external light from entering the box 1, avoid interference with the observation of the egg, and ensure the stability of the observation environment.
[0035] In some optional embodiments, the eyepiece 51 is a Bluetooth eyepiece 51, which can connect to other devices via Bluetooth to transmit the observed images to other devices. This facilitates the recording and analysis of observation results, improves work efficiency, and makes data storage and sharing easier.
[0036] In some optional embodiments, the base 2 is equipped with a circuit board switch button 21, a turntable 3 button 22, and a light source button 23. The circuit board 20 is mounted on the base 2. The turntable 3 button 22, the light source button 23, the turntable 3, and the support frame 4 are connected to the circuit board 20. By pressing different buttons, the power supply, the rotation of the turntable 3, and the on / off switch of the spotlight 45 can be controlled. This enables convenient operation of the egg comparison device, improves the automation level of the equipment, and facilitates user operation.
[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
