Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg processing technology, specifically to an egg testing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the large-scale poultry farming and egg processing industry, accurately screening fertilized eggs is the core link to ensure hatching success rate and optimize production process. Whether it is a breeding enterprise that uses eggs for hatching or a processing manufacturer that needs to differentiate between fertilized and unfertilized eggs for differentiated sales, it is necessary to quickly and accurately determine the fertilization status of a large number of eggs.

[0003] Traditional testing methods mainly rely on manual operation. Testers need to hold the egg under strong light and rely on the naked eye to observe whether there are embryonic blood streaks or shadows inside the eggshell to judge the fertilization status. This method not only requires a high level of experience from the testers, but also easily leads to visual fatigue due to long-term operation, resulting in an increased misjudgment rate and making it difficult to meet the accuracy requirements of large-scale production.

[0004] Meanwhile, the efficiency of manual inspection is severely limited. When faced with the processing demand of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of eggs per day, a large amount of manpower is required, and the production process is easily interrupted due to inconsistent operating rhythms of personnel. In addition, after manual inspection, fertilized eggs need to be manually placed on trays. During this process, the eggs are easily damaged due to improper handling and placement by humans, which further increases the cost of loss. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an egg detection device, comprising an operating table and a detection component installed on the operating table. The operating table is equipped with multiple supporting components for carrying eggs, and transfer components distributed opposite to the supporting components. A feeding component is installed on the table, and a receiving component is installed below the table. The supporting components include multiple base plates, all on the same axis. One base plate is located below the detection component. A supporting cylinder is fixed on the base plate, and a lamp body is installed at the bottom of the supporting cylinder. The transfer component includes a three-way moving part installed on the operating table. One moving end of the three-way moving part is fixed with multiple push plates. A pair of insert plates are fixed on one side of each push plate, and a groove is formed between the insert plates on that side. Anti-slip textures are provided on the opposite side of the insert plates.

[0006] Furthermore, the three-way moving part includes a pad fixed on the operating table and a side push plate slidably connected. A side push cylinder connected to the side push plate is installed on the pad. A lower push cylinder is installed on the surface of the side push plate, and a lower top plate slidably fixed to the piston rod of the lower push cylinder is installed. Multiple push cylinders connected to corresponding push plates are installed on the lower top plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the detection assembly includes a stand, a top-feeding cylinder is mounted on the top of the stand, and a visual inspection device that is perpendicularly symmetrical to the corresponding bearing cylinder is mounted on the lower top of the top-feeding cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, a middle plate is fixed to the outer side of the ejector end of the top-feeding cylinder, and a buffer is installed on the middle plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the unloading assembly includes an unloading frame, on which a belt drive device is installed, and a movable plate slidably connected and fixed to the belt of the belt drive device. An ejector cylinder is installed on the movable plate, and an extension cylinder is installed at the ejector end of the ejector cylinder. An adsorption transfer device is installed at the ejector end of the extension cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, the receiving assembly includes a support plate, on which a lead screw device is mounted, and a horizontal plate that is slidably fixed to the nut of the lead screw device. A lifting cylinder is mounted at the bottom of the horizontal plate, and multiple guide columns are passed through it. The lifting cylinder and the guide columns are both passed through and slide on the support plate. A lifting plate for carrying a pallet is fixed between the top ends of the guide columns. The top of the operating table has a discharge port that is coaxial with the last bearing assembly and located below the adsorption and transfer device.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The egg detection device uses a carrier cylinder to hold the eggs and a lamp to provide strong light. The transfer component moves the eggs on the carrier cylinder one by one. Combined with the high-definition imaging and image analysis of the vision detection device, it replaces manual judgment, avoids misjudgment caused by experience differences and visual fatigue, and improves the accuracy of judging fertilization status. After the detection is completed, the eggs are collected by the feeding component and the transfer component. The whole process is automated and requires no manual intervention, avoiding the problem of improper force when handling and placing the eggs, and reducing the breakage rate.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-7 An egg detection device in this embodiment includes an operating table 1 and a detection component 4 installed on the operating table 1. The operating table 1 is equipped with no fewer than six carrying components 2 for carrying eggs, transfer components 3 for moving eggs on the carrying components 2, unloading components 5 for removing qualified fertilized eggs, and receiving components for receiving eggs removed by the unloading components 5, forming an automated process of carrying, transferring, detecting, unloading, and loading.

[0023] like Figure 2 The support component 2 includes a base plate 21 fixed to the top of the operating table 1, and one of the base plates 21 is located directly below the detection component 4 to form a detection position. Each base plate 21 is fixed with a support tube 22 for placing eggs. The bottom of the support tube 22 is equipped with a lamp body 23 that provides strong light illumination, which can penetrate the eggshell to facilitate observation of the internal embryo characteristics.

[0024] like Figure 3-4The transfer assembly 3 is distributed opposite to the carrying assembly 2 and is used to transfer eggs between different carrying cylinders 22. The transfer assembly 3 includes a pad 31 fixed on the operating table 1 and a side push plate 33 slidably connected to the operating table 1. A side push cylinder 32 for driving the side push plate 33 to move laterally is fixed on the top of the pad 31. A lower push cylinder 34 is installed on the front of the side push plate 33. A lower push plate 35 slidably connected to the piston rod of the lower push cylinder 34 is fixed to the piston rod of the lower push cylinder 34. At least six push cylinders 36 are installed on the lower push plate 35. A push plate 37 is fixed to the output end of the push cylinder 36. A pair of anti-slip textured insert plates 38 are fixed on the front of the device, and a groove is provided on the front of the push plate 37 between the pair of insert plates 38. The groove is adapted to the curvature of the egg. The side push cylinder, the bottom push cylinder and the push top cylinder realize precise three-way movement in the horizontal, vertical and vertical directions. Therefore, it can drive the insert plate to be inserted into the corresponding carrier cylinder until the groove is in contact with the egg. The groove plays a limiting role. Then the insert plate rises up, which can work with the anti-slip texture to prevent the egg from sliding and improve the stability of movement. By moving upward, the egg can be lifted and separated from the carrier cylinder, and moved to the next set of carrier cylinders until it is located below the detection component to complete the detection.

[0025] like Figure 5 The detection component 4 is used for visual detection of the fertilization status of eggs. The detection component 4 includes a stand 41 fixed on the operating table 1. A top-feeding cylinder 42 is installed on the top of the stand 41. A visual detection device 43, which is perpendicular and symmetrical to the detection position bearing cylinder 22, is installed at the bottom top of the top-feeding cylinder 42. The visual detection device 43, such as an industrial camera and an image analysis module, can capture images of the inside of the eggshell and determine whether there are embryonic blood vessels. In order to avoid excessive compression of the egg by the downward movement of the top-feeding cylinder 42, a middle plate 45 is fixed on the outer side of the top-feeding cylinder 42. A buffer 46 is installed on the middle plate 45. The buffer and the bottom plate work together to buffer and limit the movement, so as to avoid damage to the egg by excessive downward movement.

[0026] like Figure 6The feeding assembly 5 is used to transfer the tested eggs from the carrier cylinder 22 to the receiving assembly 6. The feeding assembly 5 includes a feeding rack 51 fixed on the operating table 1. A belt drive device 52 is installed on the feeding rack 51. A movable plate 53 is slidably connected to the feeding rack 51 and fixed on the belt of the belt drive device 52. An ejection cylinder 54 is installed on the surface of the movable plate 53. An extension cylinder 55 is installed at the ejection end of the ejection cylinder 54. An adsorption transfer device 56 is installed at the ejection end of the extension cylinder 55. For example, a vacuum suction cup uses negative pressure to adsorb eggs, avoiding mechanical squeezing; the top of the operating table 1 has a feeding port, which is coaxial with the end bearing cylinder 22 and located below the adsorption transfer device 56 to form a feeding position; the suction cup transfer device is driven by a belt drive to move above the end bearing cylinder and the receiving component, and then the adsorption transfer device is moved by the top extension cylinder to adhere to and adsorb the eggs in the bearing cylinder, and then the top extension cylinder retracts to transfer the eggs to the top of the receiving component, and the eggs are loaded onto the tray by the ejection cylinder.

[0027] like Figure 7 The receiving assembly 6 is used to receive the eggs transferred from the unloading assembly 5. The receiving assembly 6 includes a support plate 61 fixed inside the operating table 1. A screw device 62 is installed on the support plate 61. A horizontal plate 63 is slidably connected to the support plate 61 and fixed to the nut of the screw device 62. A lifting cylinder 65 is installed at the bottom of the horizontal plate 63 and four guide posts 64 are inserted through it. The lifting cylinder 65 and the guide posts 64 both pass through the support plate 61 and are slidably engaged. A lifting plate 66 is fixed between the tops of the guide posts 64. The lifting plate 66 is used to place the egg tray. The screw device 62 can drive the horizontal plate 63 to move the lifting plate 66 laterally, so that after one row of trays is loaded, the empty row is aligned with the unloading port to continue loading. The lifting cylinder 65 can drive the lifting plate 66 to rise and fall, so as to facilitate the removal of the trays.

[0028] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0029] One by one, the eggs to be tested are placed into the foremost carrier cylinder. The carrier cylinder positions the eggs to prevent displacement. At this time, the light at the bottom of the carrier cylinder is in standby mode. Once the egg has moved to the detection position, it is activated. The side push cylinder drives the side push plate to move laterally, aligning the insert plate of the push plate with the sides of the egg in the foremost carrier cylinder. The push cylinder moves the push plate closer to the egg, inserting the insert plate under the egg, with the groove conforming to the egg's curvature. The lower push cylinder drives the lower push plate to move upward and lift, lifting the egg through the insert plate. The anti-slip texture prevents the egg from sliding, and the egg is removed from the carrier cylinder. Then, the side push cylinder moves again, moving the egg laterally and placing it into the next set of carrier cylinders. The transfer assembly then retracts and repeats the operation until the egg is moved to the detection position carrier cylinder. The top delivery cylinder is activated, driving the vision inspection device to move downward until it is close to directly above the egg in the detection position. When the buffer on the middle plate contacts the operating table, the top delivery cylinder stops moving downward to prevent the vision inspection device from colliding with the egg. The light at the bottom of the carrier cylinder is activated, emitting a strong light that penetrates the eggshell. The vision inspection device then captures an image of the inside of the egg. The image is transmitted to the corresponding control module, which analyzes the image to determine if there are embryonic blood streaks in the eggs. After the detection is completed, the lamp is turned off, the top-feeding cylinder drives the vision detection device to reset, and the transfer component operates again, moving the detected eggs from the detection position carrier cylinder to the end carrier seat, waiting for unloading. According to the detection results, the belt drive device is activated, driving the moving plate to move along the unloading rack to directly above the unloading position. The top-mounted cylinder drives the adsorption transfer device to move downward until the adsorption transfer device contacts the egg surface. The adsorption transfer device activates negative pressure adsorption, firmly adsorbing the eggs. The top-mounted cylinder resets, thus separating the eggs from the carrier cylinder. The unqualified eggs are removed, and the qualified eggs are moved to the top of the tray. The ejection cylinder ejects the qualified eggs and places them into the pusher tray. When one row is filled, the screw device drives the horizontal plate to move the lifting plate laterally, so that the next row of egg slots on the tray is aligned with the unloading port. The tray loading action is repeated. When the tray is full, the lifting cylinder drives the lifting plate to descend to the lowest position. The operator can then remove the full tray, replace it with an empty tray, and the lifting cylinder resets to continue loading.

[0030] The entire workflow is fully automated, requiring no manual intervention, and can continuously test and plate large quantities of eggs; any content not described in detail in this manual, such as the control module and negative pressure system, is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
