Description
Technical Field

[0002] With the continuous development of modern agriculture and the food industry, eggs have become an important food ingredient. An egg crack detection device is used to detect whether there are cracks on the surface of eggs. This device is commonly used in the food industry, especially in the production, packaging and processing of eggs. Egg cracks not only affect the appearance of the product, but also lead to microbial contamination and affect food safety. In chicken farms, timely testing after egg collection allows problematic eggs to be dealt with in advance.
[0003] An egg crack detection device mainly consists of a support conveyor belt, eggs, a processing box, and a detection head. First, the eggs are transported to the processing box by the support conveyor belt. Inside the processing box, the eggs are scanned in real time by the detection head. The detection head can use sensors and optical equipment to detect the surface of the eggs and identify areas of cracks and damage.
[0004] In the existing technology, some egg crack detection devices usually adopt a single-level detection method, such as visual inspection, which relies on specific technology to identify cracks on the egg surface. These single-level detection methods are often easily affected by environmental factors, resulting in low accuracy and comprehensiveness of the detection results, as well as low efficiency, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. This single detection method often cannot maintain consistency in complex production environments. In order to address the above problems, an egg crack detection device is proposed.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of an egg crack detection device, comprising a support conveyor belt 1, with multiple eggs 2 slidably connected to the top of the support conveyor belt 1. The eggs 2 slide forward sequentially on the top of the support conveyor belt 1, undergoing comprehensive testing by various testing mechanisms to ensure accurate quality assessment of each egg 2. Multiple testing mechanisms are fixedly connected to the top of the support conveyor belt 1, including a processing box 3 and a connecting support plate 4. The processing box 3 is securely fixed to the top of the support conveyor belt 1, and its bottom is fixedly connected to the top of the support conveyor belt 1. Two first electric telescopic columns 5 are fixedly connected inside the processing box 3, and the two first electric telescopic columns 5 are flexibly adjustable for detecting... The device has the function of measuring the position of the component. Its drive end is connected to different detection elements. One of the first electric telescopic column 5 is fixedly connected to the drive end of a wave acoustic sensor 14. The wave acoustic sensor 14 can accurately detect whether there is a crack inside the egg 2 and the approximate location and size of the crack by emitting and receiving specific sound waves and using the characteristics of reflection and scattering caused by the sound waves encountering cracks when they propagate inside the egg 2. Another first electric telescopic column 5 is fixedly connected to the drive end of an optical detection head 8. The optical detection head 8 is based on the principle of optical imaging and identifies cracks on the surface of the egg 2 that are difficult to detect with the naked eye by capturing the subtle differences in light reflection and refraction on the surface of the egg 2. The power component is fixedly connected inside the support plate 4.
[0035] The power assembly includes a second electric telescopic column 6, which is externally fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting support plate 4. A laser detection head 12 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the second electric telescopic column 6. The laser detection head 12 utilizes the high directionality and high energy characteristics of laser to emit a laser beam to irradiate the surface of the egg 2. When the laser encounters cracks on the surface of the egg 2, unique reflection and scattering phenomena occur. By accurately analyzing these reflected and scattered laser signals, the laser detection head 12 can detect extremely fine cracks on the surface of the egg 2 with great accuracy. Cooling fans 13 are fixedly connected to both sides inside the processing box 3. The cooling fans 13 are used to dry the eggs 2 that have been washed in the previous process, ensuring that there is no residual moisture on the surface of the eggs 2, thereby ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the detection process. The acoustic sensor 14 is slidably connected to the top of the optical detection head 8 by a supporting connecting plate 7. The supporting connecting plate 7 further enhances the stability of the overall structure. Two connecting base plates 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the supporting connecting plate 7.
[0036] Each connecting base plate 11 has multiple infrared telescopic heads 9 and multiple lighting lamps 10 fixedly connected to its bottom. The multiple lighting lamps 10 provide sufficient and uniform illumination for the optical detection head 8, ensuring that the optical detection head 8 can obtain a clear and accurate image of the egg 2 surface, thus improving the accuracy of optical detection. The multiple infrared telescopic heads 9 can emit infrared rays, and by detecting the signal changes reflected back from the surface of the egg 2, they can assist in judging the condition of the egg 2 surface, especially for preliminary detection of surface stains and small dents that affect the accuracy of optical detection. A cleaning mechanism is fixedly connected to the top of the supporting conveyor belt 1. The drive end of the first electric telescopic column 5 is slidably connected to the inside of the supporting connecting plate 7, and the drive end of the second electric telescopic column 6 is slidably connected to the inside of the supporting connecting plate 7. The outside of the two first electric telescopic columns 5 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting support plate 4. During the detection process, the position of the laser detection head 12 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation of the egg 2, and cooperate with the acoustic sensor 14 and the optical detection head 8 to achieve accurate detection of the egg 2 from all directions and multiple angles.
[0037] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The cleaning mechanism includes a support frame 25. The bottom of the support frame 25 is firmly fixed to the top of the support conveyor belt 1, providing a solid support foundation for the entire cleaning mechanism. The bottom of the support frame 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the support conveyor belt 1, and the top of the support frame 25 is fixedly connected to a connecting protective shell 26. The connecting protective shell 26, which is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 25, houses the drive component and protects the drive component from external dust, moisture and other impurities. It also provides a relatively closed and stable working environment for the drive component, extending its service life. The drive component is fixedly connected inside the connecting protective shell 26. There are two rotating brushes 20 rotatably connected inside the connecting protective shell 26. The two rotating brushes 20 can efficiently clean the top of the egg 2, cleaning the dust and impurities on the surface of the egg 2, and preventing these impurities from affecting the accuracy of the subsequent detection of cracks in the egg 2 by the detection mechanism. The drive component includes a drive motor 15. When the device starts the cleaning function, the drive motor 15 starts to work and outputs stable power. The top of the drive motor 15 is fixedly connected inside the connecting protective shell 26.
[0038] A drive wheel 16 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the drive motor 15. The top of one rotating brush 20 is fixedly connected to the inside of the drive wheel 16, and the top of the other rotating brush 20 is fixedly connected to a driven wheel 17. A belt 18 is externally coupled to the driven wheel 17 and the drive wheel 16. When the drive wheel 16 rotates, the belt 18 moves accordingly, thereby driving the driven wheel 17 to rotate, achieving synchronous rotation of the two rotating brushes 20. Two support connecting plates 21 are fixedly connected to the top of the support conveyor belt 1. The support connecting plates 21 mainly serve to connect and support the connecting hose 22. The connecting hose 22 is fixedly connected inside the support connecting plates 21. The cleaning liquid can flow inside the connecting hose 22. A connecting nozzle 19 is fixedly connected to the top side of the connecting hose 22. The connecting nozzle 19 can evenly spray the cleaning liquid onto the surface of the egg 2. During the spraying process... The cleaning liquid can further soften and rinse away stubborn stains on the surface of egg 2. A filter pad 23 is slidably connected to the bottom of the connecting hose 22. The filter pad 23 can filter the cleaning liquid to prevent impurities in the cleaning liquid from clogging the connecting nozzle 19 and affecting the cleaning effect. At the same time, it makes the connection between the connecting hose 22 and the connecting pipe 24 tighter and prevents leakage. The bottom of the connecting hose 22 is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe 24, which connects to the external cleaning liquid supply source to ensure a continuous and stable supply of cleaning liquid. The bottom of the filter pad 23 is slidably connected to the top of the connecting pipe 24. The bottoms of the driven wheel 17 and the driving wheel 16 are rotatably connected to the top of the support frame 25. At the same time, the bottoms of the driven wheel 17 and the driving wheel 16 are both rotatably connected to the top of the support frame 25, which further ensures the stability of the rotation process. The bottoms of the two rotating brushes 20 are rotatably connected to the top of egg 2.
[0039] Working principle: The egg 2 is driven into the processing box 3 by the support conveyor belt 1. The surface of the egg 2 is detected by the optical detection head 8 and the acoustic sensor 14 driven by the two first electric telescopic columns 5. At the same time, the laser detection head 12 can be moved up and down by the second electric telescopic column 6. The optical detection head 8, the laser detection head 12 and the acoustic sensor 14 are combined. At the same time, the bottom of the support connecting plate 7 has a connecting base plate 11. During the detection, the lighting lamp 10 can provide brightness for the accessories. At the same time, the infrared telescopic head 9 at the bottom performs infrared detection. The multi-level detection capability ensures the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the data. The cooling fan 13 is used to dry the egg 2 that was washed in the previous process, ensuring that there is no residual moisture on the surface of the egg 2, thereby ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the detection process.
[0040] During transmission, water enters through the connecting pipe 24. The connecting hose 22 and connecting pipe 24 are threaded together by the filter pad 23, which filters the water and also ensures a better connection between the connecting pipe 24 and connecting hose 22, reducing leakage and clogging of the connecting nozzle 19. Simultaneously, the drive motor 15 starts, driving the drive wheel 16 to rotate. This is connected to the driven wheel 17 via the belt 18, causing the rotating brush 20 to rotate on the surface of the egg 2. The two work together to clean the surface of the egg 2, significantly improving its cleanliness and ensuring more accurate identification of potential defects in subsequent testing, thus improving the quality of the inspection.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
