Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquaculture technology, and in particular to a visual egg counting device with a heat dissipation plate. Background Technology

[0002] In egg-laying hen farms, eggs are transported via egg conveyor lines, and egg counters count the eggs on these lines. The egg counter uses image recognition technology to detect the number of eggs. It uses a camera to photograph the eggs transported on the conveyor line below, acquiring egg images and transmitting this information to a controller. The controller then analyzes the images using its image recognition module and outputs the egg count.

[0003] There is an egg counter with an internal cooling fan for heat dissipation and cooling. However, the additional cooling fan increases the size of the egg counter and raises energy consumption.

[0004] The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background technology of this application, and therefore may include prior art that is not known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In response to the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model proposes a visual egg counting device with a heat sink. The heat sink is used for heat dissipation and cooling, which does not increase the size of the device, facilitates the miniaturization of the device design, and helps to reduce energy consumption.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides a visual egg counting device with a heat sink. A mounting cavity is formed inside the housing, and a camera is installed in the mounting cavity. The camera is visible from the bottom of the housing. A protective cover is installed at the bottom of the housing, and the bottom side of the protective cover is open. A display device is installed on the side of the housing, and a heat sink is installed on the top of the housing. The mounting frame is configured to place the visual egg counting device on the egg conveying line, and the heat sink is connected to the mounting frame.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, a main control board is also included, disposed on the top wall of the housing, the top wall of the housing having an opening, and the heat sink contacting the main control board through the opening.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, a lighting device is also included, disposed within the mounting cavity, and the lighting device is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the housing.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the camera is located between the main control board and the lighting device, and the lighting device has an opening for the camera to extend out; the lighting device includes a plurality of lights arranged around the camera.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, two clamps are provided above the lighting device, and the main body of the camera is disposed between the two clamps.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the housing includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall, the first sidewall and the second sidewall being disposed opposite to each other, the display device being disposed on the first sidewall, and the communication interface and the power interface being disposed on the second sidewall.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the protective cover includes a connecting plate and a flange plate, the flange plate extending obliquely outward from the edge of the connecting plate, and a plurality of spaced magnets are provided at the bottom of the housing, the magnets being attracted to the connecting plate.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, the protective cover includes a connecting plate and a flange plate, the flange plate extending obliquely outward from the edge of the connecting plate, and the connecting plate being fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing by fasteners.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0016] In the visual egg counting device disclosed in this application, a heat sink is used to dissipate heat and cool the device. The heat sink absorbs the heat generated by the device, and because it is externally mounted, it can quickly dissipate this heat to the external environment.

[0017] In addition, while dissipating heat to the external environment, the heat sink can also conduct heat to the mounting bracket, using the mounting bracket to assist in heat dissipation and cooling, thereby further improving the heat dissipation and cooling effect of the visual egg counting device.

[0018] This design utilizes a heat sink to cool the visual egg counting device, eliminating the need for an additional cooling fan. This ensures effective heat dissipation without increasing the device's size, thus reducing energy consumption. The heat sink serves both to cool the device and as a mounting bracket.

[0019] Other features and advantages of this utility model will become clearer after reading the detailed embodiments of this utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0047] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly.

[0049] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of this invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples; such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention, but those skilled in the art will recognize the application of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, a visual egg counting device 04 is provided, which is applied in scenarios such as egg-laying hen farms for counting egg products (such as chicken eggs).

[0051] Reference Figure 1The egg-laying hen house is equipped with multiple vertically arranged chicken houses. Each vertical chicken house 05 is equipped with a sub-egg conveyor line 02, and multiple sub-egg conveyor lines 02 converge to the main egg conveyor line 01. The eggs produced by each vertical chicken house 05 are transported to the main egg conveyor line 01 by the sub-egg conveyor line 02.

[0052] In the existing technology, an egg counter 03 is configured on the main egg conveying line 01. Due to the lack of detection of the egg production of each row of chicken houses, when it is necessary to adjust the operating speed of the main egg conveying line 01 and the sub-egg conveying lines 02 to meet the egg conveying needs of each row of chicken houses, the operating speed of all sub-egg conveying lines 02 can only be uniformly reduced or increased. It is not possible to adjust the operating speed of the corresponding sub-egg conveying line 02 individually according to the egg production of each row of chicken houses, resulting in reduced egg conveying efficiency.

[0053] Based on this, in addition to configuring an egg counter 03 on the main egg conveying line 01, the visual egg counting device 04 proposed in this utility model is set on the sub-egg conveying line 02. The visual egg counting device 04 counts the eggs on each sub-egg conveying line 02. In this way, according to the number of eggs conveyed on each sub-egg conveying line 02 and the number of eggs conveyed on the main egg conveying line 01, the operating speed of each sub-egg conveying line 02 can be independently adjusted accordingly, so that the egg conveying efficiency of the entire egg conveying system reaches the optimal level.

[0054] In the prior art, the main egg conveying line 01 has a relatively large width to meet the requirements for the number of eggs conveyed. Correspondingly, the egg counter 03 mounted on the main egg conveying line 01 is also relatively large. The egg counter 03 is equipped with a display screen, which is positioned above the egg counter 03. Because the existing egg counter 03 is relatively large, it is not suitable for the smaller sub-egg conveying line 02. Furthermore, even if the existing egg counter 03 is applied to the sub-egg conveying line 02, the side-mounted display screen is inconvenient for the user to view because the sub-egg conveying line 02 is positioned differently from the main egg conveying line 01.

[0055] Based on this, the structure of the visual egg counting device 04 installed on the sub-egg conveying line 02 needs to be improved.

[0056] Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of a visual egg counting device 04 and an egg conveying line 02. Figure 3 A structural diagram of the visual egg counting device 04 and the egg conveying line 02 as viewed from the other side. Figure 4 This is a structural diagram of a visual egg counting device 04. Figure 5 This is a structural diagram of the visual egg counting device 04 as viewed from the other side. Figure 6 This is a structural diagram of the visual egg counting device 04 as viewed from the bottom side. Figure 8 This is a top view of the visual egg counting device 04. Figure 9 for Figure 8 Sectional view along the AA direction.

[0057] The visual egg counting device 04 includes a housing 100 with an internal mounting cavity. Specifically, the housing 100 is rectangular and includes a top wall, a bottom wall, a first side wall and a second side wall, and a third side wall and a fourth side wall, all of which are disposed opposite to each other. The first and second side walls are side walls along the length of the housing 100, and the third and fourth side walls are side walls along the width of the housing 100.

[0058] The visual egg counting device 04 also includes a protective cover 800, which is located at the bottom of the housing 100, with an open bottom side. Figure 10 This is a structural diagram of the protective cover 800. Specifically, the protective cover 800 is detachably mounted on the bottom wall of the housing 100, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the protective cover 800.

[0059] The visual egg counting device 04 also includes a main control board 200, which is installed inside the mounting cavity.

[0060] The visual egg counting device 04 also includes a camera 300, which is installed inside the mounting cavity and connected to the main control board 200. The camera 300 is configured to take pictures of the eggs 07 on the egg conveying line 02.

[0061] The visual egg counting device 04 also includes a display device 900, which is located on the side of the housing 100 and is connected to the main control board 200. The display device 900 can display the egg count, etc., for the user's direct observation.

[0062] The visual egg counting device 04 also includes a lighting device 400, which is installed in the mounting cavity. The lighting device 400 is connected to the main control board 200 and has an off state and an illuminated state.

[0063] The visual egg counting device 04 of this application has a protective cover 800 located at the bottom of a housing 100. The bottom side of the protective cover 800 is open, and a camera 300 is installed inside the mounting cavity of the housing 100. The camera 300 is visible from the bottom opening of the housing 100, allowing it to photograph the eggs 07 transported below it. The protective cover 800 protects the camera 300, preventing it from being in the open environment of the breeding shed, reducing obstruction from dust, flies, etc., and helping to improve the reliability of counting.

[0064] The visual egg counting device 04 of this application is suitable for small-sized egg conveying lines 02. The display device 900 is located on the side of the housing 100. The side-mounted display device 900 is convenient for users to view.

[0065] The visual egg counting device 04 of this application has an illumination device 400 located inside the housing 100. Since the protective cover 800, while protecting the camera 300, also partially blocks light, the illumination device 400 provides supplementary lighting to ensure adequate illumination for photography, thus improving counting reliability. Furthermore, the protective cover 800 also provides some protection for the illumination device 400, preventing it from being located in the open environment of the breeding shed and reducing obstruction from dust, flies, and other pests, further enhancing the reliability of supplementary lighting.

[0066] The visual egg counting device 04 of this application includes a lighting device 400 that has both an off state and an on state. In the prior art, the lighting device 400 is always on, but laying hens sleep at night and do not lay eggs. Therefore, if the lighting device 400 is also on at night, it will affect the hens' rest and increase energy consumption. This invention sets the lighting device 400 to have both an off state and an on state, specifically, the lighting device 400 is turned on during the day and turned off at night. This ensures the effectiveness of daytime photography while avoiding affecting the hens' nighttime rest and generating unnecessary energy consumption at night.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, the display device 900 is connected to a signal conversion board 910, which is connected to the main control board 200.

[0068] Since the visual egg counting device 04 in this case is a small and compact design, in order to meet this design requirement, the size of the display device 900 is also reduced accordingly. Therefore, the signal is converted by the signal conversion board 910, which is connected to the main control board 200.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, the first sidewall of the housing 100 is provided with a first opening, and a first transparent film is provided at the first opening. The display device 900 is connected to the first sidewall and faces the first transparent film.

[0070] The display device 900 is disposed on the inner side of the first sidewall and protrudes from the first opening so that the user can view the display information on the display device 900. The first transparent film protects the display device 900.

[0071] In some embodiments of this application, the main control board 200 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the housing 100. For example, the main control board 200 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the housing 100 by fasteners such as screws.

[0072] The lighting device 400 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the housing 100, for example, the lighting device 400 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the housing 100 by fasteners such as screws.

[0073] The camera 300 is located between the main control board 200 and the lighting device 400, and the lighting device 400 is provided with a second opening for the camera 300 to extend out.

[0074] In the visual egg counting device 04 of this case, the main control board 200 is placed on top, the lighting device 400 is placed at the bottom, the camera 300 is placed between the main control board 200 and the lighting device 400, and the display device 900 is placed on the side. In this way, the components are reasonably arranged in the inner cavity of the housing 100 to achieve a compact and miniaturized design.

[0075] In some embodiments of this application, two clamps 150 are provided above the lighting device 400, and the main body of the camera 300 is disposed between the two clamps 150.

[0076] Specifically, the lighting device 400 is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 150 below via a copper pillar. The two clamping plates 150 are fixed together by fasteners such as bolts and connecting pillars. The main body of the camera 300 is fixed between the two clamping plates 150, thus achieving the fixed installation of the camera 300 in the middle position inside the housing 100.

[0077] In some embodiments of this application, a third opening is provided on the bottom wall of the housing 100, and a second transparent film is provided at the third opening, with the camera 300 facing the second transparent film.

[0078] The lighting device 400 includes a plurality of lights 410 arranged around the camera 300 and facing the second transparent film.

[0079] By surrounding the camera 300 with multiple lights 410, the camera 300 can be effectively illuminated, which helps to improve the image quality and thus improve the reliability of counting. Furthermore, since the lighting device 400 is located at the bottom, the opening area of ​​the third opening is made as large as possible, so that more lights 410 can be installed in the lighting device 400. The lights 410 are exposed from the third opening to further improve the lighting effect.

[0080] In some embodiments of this application, the housing 100 includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall, the first sidewall and the second sidewall are disposed opposite to each other, a display device 900 is disposed on the first sidewall, and a communication interface 110 and a power interface 120 are disposed on the second sidewall.

[0081] The display device 900 is located on one side of the housing 100, and the communication interface 110 and the power interface 120 are located on the opposite side of the housing 100. This facilitates internal wiring, makes full use of the two side walls of the housing 100, and contributes to a compact and miniaturized design.

[0082] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3When in use, if the user is located on the side where the display device 900 is located, the communication interface 110 and the power interface 120 will be located on the side away from the user, which can also prevent the user from touching the wire 720.

[0083] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 10 The protective cover 800 includes a connecting plate 810 and a flange plate 820. The flange plate 820 extends outward from the edge of the connecting plate 810, that is, the protective cover 800 is an outwardly expanding structure.

[0084] The bottom wall of the housing 100 is provided with a number of spaced magnets, which are attracted to the connecting plate 810 to achieve the fixed installation of the protective cover 800 at the bottom of the housing 100.

[0085] The protective cover 800 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the housing 100 by magnetic attraction, which helps to improve the installation efficiency of the protective cover 800 and facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the protective cover 800.

[0086] The bottom of the housing 100 is provided with a groove 160, and the magnet is fixed in the groove 160. The outer surface of the magnet is flush with the bottom wall of the housing 100. After the protective cover 800 is attracted, the connecting plate 810 is tightly attached to the bottom wall of the housing 100, which helps to improve the reliability of the attraction.

[0087] In other embodiments, the connecting plate 810 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the housing 100 by fasteners such as screws, so as to fix the cover 800 to the bottom of the housing 100, and the connection structure is reliable.

[0088] Specifically, the bottom wall of the housing 100 is provided with a plurality of first screw holes 130, and the connecting plate 810 of the protective cover 800 is provided with a plurality of second screw holes 811, and screws are inserted into the first screw holes 130 and the second screw holes 811.

[0089] In some embodiments of this application, the visual egg counting device 04 further includes a fan 700 disposed on the inner sidewall of the cover 800, and the fan 700 is configured to blow airflow downwards toward the camera 300.

[0090] As mentioned above, the protective cover 800 provides some protection for the camera 300 and the lighting device 400. However, after long-term use, mosquito and fly droppings still obscure the camera 300 and the lighting device 400. To solve this problem, the visual egg counting device 04 in this case is equipped with a fan 700, which is located inside the protective cover 800. The fan 700 blows air downwards from the camera 300 and the lighting device 400, effectively forming an air curtain below them. This effectively prevents mosquitoes and flies from approaching the camera 300 and the lighting device 400, thus preventing them from landing on the second transparent film directly opposite the camera 300 and the lighting device 400 and dropping their droppings. This ensures the image capture effect of the camera 300 and improves the reliability of the counting.

[0091] In some embodiments of this application, the airflow from the fan 700 is parallel to the bottom of the housing 100. The air curtain formed by the air blown by the fan 700 is parallel to the bottom wall of the housing 100. The fan 700 blows air from one end of the protective cover 800 to the other end, thereby increasing the area of ​​the air curtain and making the air curtain more effective in protecting the camera 300 and the lighting device 400.

[0092] In some embodiments of this application, the protective cover 800 includes two opposing first flanges 821 and two opposing second flanges 822. The length of the first flange 821 is greater than the length of the second flange 822, and the fan 700 is disposed on the inner wall of one of the second flanges 822.

[0093] The fan 700 is mounted on the wide side wall of the shield 800, and the airflow flows along the length of the shield 800. Even with a small fan 700, it is possible to ensure that the airflow fully covers the area below the camera 300 and the lighting device 400, avoiding dead spots in the airflow.

[0094] In some embodiments of this application, the fan 700 is vertically suspended on the inner wall of one of the second flanges 822.

[0095] Since the protective cover 800 has an outward-expanding structure, if the fan 700 is set close to the second flange plate 822, the fan 700 will be tilted, and the airflow will also be tilted. The tilted airflow is prone to creating a gap between the fan 700 and the protective cover 800 on the opposite side, which can allow mosquitoes and flies to enter the interior of the protective cover 800.

[0096] In this case, the fan 700 is suspended vertically, and the airflow blown out is vertical, so that the airflow forms a horizontal air curtain below the camera 300 and the lighting device 400. This air curtain acts completely on the inner walls of each side of the protective cover 800, effectively preventing mosquitoes and flies from entering.

[0097] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 12 The fan 700 is fixed to the cover 800 via a connecting bracket 710. The connecting bracket 710 includes a first connecting bracket section 711 and a second connecting bracket section 712, both of which are integrally formed. The first connecting bracket section 711 extends obliquely upward from the top of the second connecting bracket section 712, which is vertical. The first connecting bracket section 711 is fixedly connected to the second flange plate 822 by screws or other fasteners, and the second connecting bracket section 712 is fixedly connected to the fan 700 by screws or other fasteners.

[0098] The connecting frame 710 is a bent structure. The inclined connecting frame section 711 is easy to fix and connect with the inclined second flange plate 822, and the vertical connecting frame section 712 allows the fan 700 to be installed in a vertical state.

[0099] In some embodiments of this application, a first wiring hole 140 is provided on the second flange plate 822 where the fan 700 is located, and a second wiring hole 830 is provided on the side wall of the housing 100. The wire 720 connected to the fan 700 passes through the first wiring hole 140 and the second wiring hole 830.

[0100] Reference Figure 4 Because this design is compact and miniaturized, the internal space of the housing 100 is limited. The wires 720 that connect to the fan 700 are designed to run from the outside of the housing 100 and the shield 800 to avoid taking up internal space.

[0101] In some embodiments of this application, the visual egg counting device 04 further includes a heat sink 500 disposed on the top of the housing 100.

[0102] The visual egg counting device 04 also includes a mounting bracket 600, configured to place the visual egg counting device 04 on the egg conveying line 06, for example... Figure 1 The egg delivery line 02 shown is connected to the heat sink 500 and the mounting bracket 600.

[0103] Specifically, the mounting bracket 600 has an L-shaped structure, including a vertical mounting bracket 610 and a horizontal mounting bracket 620. The vertical mounting bracket 610 is fixedly connected to the egg conveying line 06. One end of the horizontal mounting bracket 620 is connected to the vertical mounting bracket 610. The horizontal mounting bracket 620 spans the egg conveying line 06. The heat sink 500 is connected to the horizontal mounting bracket 620.

[0104] The mounting position of the horizontal mounting bracket 620 on the vertical mounting bracket 610 is adjustable to adjust the height of the horizontal mounting bracket 620, thereby adjusting the height of the visual egg counting device 04.

[0105] The mounting position of the heat sink 500 on the horizontal mounting bracket 620 is adjustable, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the visual counting device 04.

[0106] The heat sink 500 is used to dissipate heat and cool the visual egg counting device 04. The heat sink 500 is made of a material with high thermal conductivity, such as aluminum. The heat sink 500 absorbs the heat generated by the visual egg counting device 04, and because the heat sink 500 is external, it can quickly dissipate this heat to the external environment.

[0107] In addition, the mounting bracket 600 is also made of a material with high thermal conductivity, such as aluminum. At least the horizontal mounting bracket 620 is made of a material with high thermal conductivity. While the heat dissipation plate 500 dissipates heat to the external environment, the heat dissipation plate 500 can also conduct heat to the horizontal mounting bracket 620. The horizontal mounting bracket 620 is used to assist in heat dissipation and cooling, so as to further improve the heat dissipation and cooling effect on the visual egg counting device 04.

[0108] This design utilizes a heat sink 500 to cool the visual egg counting device 04, eliminating the need for an additional cooling fan. This ensures effective heat dissipation without increasing the size of the device, thus reducing energy consumption. The heat sink 500 serves not only to cool the visual egg counting device 04 but also to function as a mounting bracket 600.

[0109] In some embodiments of this application, the top wall of the housing 100 is provided with an opening, through which the heat sink 500 contacts the main control board 200.

[0110] In other words, the main control board 200 is the main heat-generating component and generates a large amount of heat. By setting both the main control board 200 and the heat sink 500 to be on top and having the heat sink 500 in contact with the main control board 200, it is possible to improve the heat absorption efficiency of the heat sink 500 on the main control board 200, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the main control board 200 and helping to ensure the operational reliability of the main control board 200.

[0111] The heat sink 500 is laid flat on the top wall of the housing 100, covering most of the top wall of the housing 100. On the one hand, this helps to improve the heat absorption and heat dissipation efficiency, and on the other hand, it helps to ensure the reliability of the connection between the heat sink 500 and the housing 100.

[0112] In some embodiments of this application, reference is made to Figure 2 The wires 720 connected to the fan 700 are routed from below the horizontal mounting bracket 620, making the wiring of the visual egg counting device 04 on site more organized.

[0113] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0114] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
