[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of selection tooling technology, and more specifically, it relates to a tooling for selecting fertilized eggs. Background Technology

[0002] When hatching chicks, fertilized eggs need to be selected for incubation to improve the hatching success rate and avoid wasting resources. The traditional selection method involves shining a light on the eggs and then observing whether they are fertilized. When there are many eggs to select, each egg needs to be observed individually, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tool for selecting fertilized eggs, which aims to solve the problem of low efficiency in irradiating and observing eggs one by one when there are many eggs to be selected.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A fertilized egg selection fixture is provided, comprising an observation box, a placement component, a moving component, and multiple illumination lamps. The upper end of the observation box is open. The placement component covers the observation box and has multiple observation units arranged at intervals along a first horizontal direction. Each observation unit includes multiple observation holes, and the observation holes within the same observation unit are arranged at intervals along a second horizontal direction, perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The observation holes are tapered holes that gradually narrow downwards, and eggs are placed inside the observation holes. The moving component is located inside the observation box and is movable along the first horizontal direction. Multiple illumination lamps are located inside the observation box and fixed to the moving component, and are arranged at intervals along the second horizontal direction. The movement of the moving component along the first horizontal direction allows the multiple illumination lamps to sequentially reach directly below each observation unit. When the multiple illumination lamps reach directly below one of the observation units, they illuminate the multiple observation holes in that observation unit one by one.

[0005] In one possible implementation, the fertilized egg selection fixture further includes a positioning sleeve. The positioning sleeve is fitted over and fixedly connected to the placement component, and the positioning sleeve is slidably fitted over the observation box in a vertical direction.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the fertilized egg selection fixture further includes two U-shaped handles. The two U-shaped handles are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the positioning sleeve and are fixedly connected to the positioning sleeve.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the fertilized egg selection fixture further includes a sliding rod. The sliding rod is positioned along the moving direction of the moving member, and slides through one side wall of the observation box and is fixedly connected to the moving member.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the fertilized egg selection fixture further includes a positioning tube. The positioning tube is vertically positioned and fixedly connected to the sliding rod.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the fertilized egg selection fixture further includes a push rod and a connecting rod. The push rod is located on one side of the observation box and is parallel to the sliding rod. The two ends of the connecting rod are fixedly connected to the push rod and the sliding rod, respectively. The positioning tube is fixedly connected to the push rod.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the fertilized egg selection fixture further includes a positioning rod. The positioning rod and the push rod are located on the same side of the observation box, parallel to and below the push rod. The positioning rod is fixedly connected to the observation box, and its upper surface has multiple positioning slots, each corresponding to one of the observation units. When the moving component moves, the positioning tube aligns with each of the positioning slots. When the positioning tube aligns with one of the positioning slots, multiple illumination lamps reach directly below the observation unit corresponding to that slot.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the fertilized egg sorting fixture further includes a positioning ball. The positioning ball is located inside the positioning tube and can move into or out of the positioning slot as the positioning tube moves.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the fertilized egg selecting fixture further includes a limiting member and a compression spring. The limiting member is connected to the positioning tube and closes the upper end of the positioning tube. The compression spring is located inside the positioning tube and its two ends abut against the limiting member and the positioning ball, respectively.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the limiting member of the fertilized egg selection fixture is provided with a connecting groove and is sleeved on the upper end of the positioning tube through the connecting groove. The connecting groove is provided with an internal thread, and the positioning tube is provided with an external thread that is threadedly connected to the internal thread.

[0014] In this embodiment, an egg is placed in each observation hole. A driving mechanism moves the device so that multiple illumination lamps sequentially reach directly below each observation unit. When the multiple illumination lamps reach directly below one of the observation units, they illuminate the multiple observation holes in that unit one by one. This allows for the observation of multiple eggs' fertility at once, avoiding the inefficiency of individually illuminating and observing a large number of eggs. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 4This invention provides a fertilized egg selection tool. The fertilized egg selection tool includes an observation box 1, a placement component 2, a moving component 3, and multiple illumination lamps 4. The upper end of the observation box 1 is open. The placement component 2 covers the observation box 1 and has multiple observation units 21 arranged at intervals along a first horizontal direction. Each observation unit 21 includes multiple observation holes 211, which are arranged at intervals along a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The observation holes 211 are tapered holes that gradually narrow downwards, and are used to place eggs. The moving component 3 is located inside the observation box 1 and can move along the first horizontal direction. The multiple illumination lamps 4 are located inside the observation box 1 and fixed to the moving component 3, and are arranged at intervals along the second horizontal direction. The movement of the movable part 3 along the first horizontal direction enables multiple illumination lamps 4 to sequentially reach directly below each observation unit 21. When multiple illumination lamps 4 reach directly below one of the observation units 21, the multiple illumination lamps 4 can illuminate the multiple observation holes 211 in the observation unit 21 one by one.

[0024] This invention provides a fertilized egg selection fixture. Compared with existing technologies, each observation hole 211 contains one egg. A driving component 3 moves, causing multiple illumination lamps 4 to sequentially reach directly below each observation unit 21. When the multiple illumination lamps 4 reach directly below one of the observation units 21, they illuminate the multiple observation holes 211 within that unit one by one. This allows for the observation of multiple eggs at once to determine fertility, avoiding the inefficiency of individually illuminating and observing a large number of eggs.

[0025] In this embodiment, the number of illumination lamps 4 is the same as the number of observation holes 211 in the same observation unit 21, so that multiple illumination lamps 4 can illuminate multiple observation holes 211 in the same observation unit 21 one by one.

[0026] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The fertilized egg selection fixture also includes a positioning sleeve 5. The positioning sleeve 5 is fitted over and fixedly connected to the placement component 2, and slides vertically over the observation box 1. The horizontal movement of the placement component 2 is restricted by the positioning sleeve 5 limited by the observation box 1.

[0027] In some embodiments, see Figure 1The fertilized egg selection fixture also includes two U-shaped handles 6. The two U-shaped handles 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the positioning sleeve 5 and are fixedly connected to the positioning sleeve 5. After the operator holds the two U-shaped handles 6, he can drive the positioning sleeve 5 to slide upward and detach from the observation box 1, thereby removing the placement piece 2 from the observation box 1, and then the illumination lamp 4 inside the observation box 1 can be maintained.

[0028] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The fertilized egg selection fixture also includes a sliding rod 7. The sliding rod 7 is positioned along the moving direction of the moving component 3, and slides through one side wall of the observation box 1 and is fixedly connected to the moving component 3. The sliding of the sliding rod 7 can drive the moving component 3 to move along a first horizontal direction. The side wall of the observation box 1 limits the movement of the sliding rod 7, restricting the movement of the moving component 3 in other directions.

[0029] Furthermore, the sliding rod 7 has a square prism structure, which prevents the sliding rod 7 from rotating.

[0030] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The fertilized egg selection fixture also includes a positioning tube 8. The positioning tube 8 is vertically positioned and fixedly connected to the sliding rod 7. It is convenient for the operator to drive the sliding rod 7 to slide through the positioning tube 8.

[0031] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 The fertilized egg selection fixture also includes a push rod 9 and a connecting rod 10. The push rod 9 is located on one side of the observation box 1 and is parallel to the sliding rod 7. Both ends of the connecting rod 10 are fixedly connected to the push rod 9 and the sliding rod 7, respectively. The positioning tube 8 is fixedly connected to the push rod 9. The positioning tube 8 is indirectly fixedly connected to the sliding rod 7 through the push rod 9 and the connecting rod 10. The operator can stand on the side of the observation box 1 facing the push rod 9, and then use one hand to drive the sliding rod 7 through the positioning tube 8 while using the other hand to select fertilized eggs.

[0032] In this embodiment, the positioning tube 8 and the push rod 9 are located on the same side of the observation box 1.

[0033] Furthermore, the two U-shaped handles 6 can be located on both sides of the observation box 1 along the first horizontal direction, and the positioning tube 8 can be located on one side of the observation box 1 along the second horizontal direction. In this way, the two U-shaped handles 6 can be prevented from obstructing the operator from operating the positioning tube 8.

[0034] In some embodiments, see Figure 1The fertilized egg selection fixture also includes a positioning rod 110. The positioning rod 110 and the push rod 9 are located on the same side of the observation box 1, parallel to and below the push rod 9. The positioning rod 110 is fixedly connected to the observation box 1. The upper surface of the positioning rod 110 has multiple positioning slots 1101, each corresponding to a different observation unit 21. When the moving part 3 moves, the positioning tube 8 aligns with each positioning slot 1101. When the positioning tube 8 aligns with one of the positioning slots 1101, multiple illumination lamps 4 reach directly below the observation unit 21 corresponding to that slot 1101. Whether the positioning tube 8 aligns with the positioning slot 1101 determines whether the multiple illumination lamps 4 have reached directly below a particular observation unit 21.

[0035] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fertilized egg selection fixture also includes a positioning ball 120. The positioning ball 120 is located inside the positioning tube 8 and can enter or exit the positioning slot 1101 as the positioning tube 8 moves. When the positioning ball 120 enters one of the positioning slots 1101, the positioning tube 8 is aligned with the positioning slot 1101, and multiple illumination lamps 4 reach directly below the observation unit 21 corresponding to the positioning slot 1101.

[0036] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The fertilized egg selection fixture also includes a limiting member 130 and a compression spring 140. The limiting member 130 is connected to the positioning tube 8 and closes the upper end of the positioning tube 8. The compression spring 140 is located inside the positioning tube 8 and its two ends abut against the limiting member 130 and the positioning ball 120, respectively. The rebound force of the compression spring 140 increases the resistance to the positioning ball 120 exiting from its positioning groove 1101, thus helping to keep the multiple illumination lamps 4 directly below a certain observation unit 21.

[0037] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The fertilized egg selection fixture limiting component 130 has a connecting groove 1301 and is sleeved on the upper end of the positioning tube 8 through the connecting groove 1301. The connecting groove 1301 has an internal thread, and the positioning tube 8 has an external thread that connects with the internal thread. During assembly, the positioning ball 120 and the compression spring 140 are placed into the positioning tube 8 in sequence, and then the limiting component 130 is threaded onto the positioning tube 8.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
