本出願人による特許文献１（特開２００８−２５６４２４号公報）は、本願発明の基礎を構成するもので、例えば図６で示すように、検卵装置１は、検体としての有精卵が配列された複数のトレー１０が載置される卵投入整列部２と、卵投入部２からレバー付きチェーンによって移動してきたトレー１０の卵が有精卵か否か、また有精卵の中でも発育優良卵と発育異常卵とを選別する第１の検査部３と、第１の検査部３の情報を受けて、無精卵及び発育異常卵を吸着して前記トレー１０から摘出して廃棄ボックス５に廃棄する不良卵摘出部４と、無精卵及び発育異常卵が摘出されたトレー１０に、検卵済みの発育優良有精卵を自動補填する優良卵補填部６と、前記優良卵補填部６から供給されてきた発育優良有精卵を含む再度検卵して検卵ミスがないように再確認して発育優良有精卵の検査精度を高める第２の検査部７と、第２の検査部７によって再度検査され不良卵が取り除かれて優良卵だけが詰められたトレー１０を次工程のために待機させる卵取出部８とによって構成される。 Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-256424) by the present applicant constitutes the basis of the present invention. For example, as shown in FIG. Egg placement and alignment section 2 on which a plurality of trays 10 are placed, and whether or not the eggs in tray 10 moved from egg insertion section 2 by a chain with a lever are sperm eggs, and are excellent in growth 1st inspection part 3 which sorts an egg and a growth abnormal egg, and the information of the 1st inspection part 3 is received, an infertile egg and a development abnormal egg are adsorbed, extracted from the tray 10, and discarded in a disposal box 5 Supplied from the excellent egg supplementing unit 6 and the excellent egg supplementing unit 6 for automatically supplementing the egg having grown and excellent fertilized eggs to the tray 10 from which the infertile egg and the abnormally developed egg are extracted. Detecting the egg containing the well-developed fertilized egg again A second inspection unit 7 that re-confirms the accuracy of the growth of excellent sperm eggs, and a tray that is inspected again by the second inspection unit 7 to remove defective eggs and packed with only excellent eggs And an egg take-out unit 8 for waiting 10 for the next process.
この有精卵自動検査装置１の第１の検査部３及び第２の検査部７において、トレー１０で移動してきた検査卵は、自動又は手動によって一列毎に持ち上げられ、それぞれの卵に光が照射され、その透過光の状態や影によってその検査卵が、無精卵か有精卵かを判別し、さらに有精卵の中でも発育異常卵か発育優良卵かを判別するもので、図６に示すように、検査作業員による目視によって判別する場合、また画像処理によって自動的に判別する場合が選択的に実施されるものである。 In the first inspection section 3 and the second inspection section 7 of the sperm egg automatic inspection apparatus 1, the inspection eggs that have moved on the tray 10 are lifted for each row either automatically or manually, and light is emitted to each egg. FIG. 6 shows whether the test egg is an inferior egg or a fertilized egg, and further determines whether it is an abnormally grown egg or an excellently developed egg among fertilized eggs. As described above, the case where the determination is made by visual inspection by the inspection worker and the case where the determination is made automatically by image processing are selectively performed.
上述したような従来の検卵装置では、卵に光を照射するためにハロゲン式光源を用いているが、寿命が短いため、寿命の長いＬＥＤ光源を使用したいという要望があるが、ＬＥＤ光源は光が青いため、その発光色が検卵に適しているか否かが問題となる。 In the conventional egg inspection apparatus as described above, a halogen-type light source is used to irradiate light on the egg. However, since the lifetime is short, there is a desire to use an LED light source with a long lifetime. Since the light is blue, it is a problem whether the emission color is suitable for egg inspection.
また、従来のリフトアップ機構では、卵毎にゴム製カップを持ち上げ卵を光ファイバーに押し当てて検卵を行うが、卵の大きさがまちまちであることから、卵を適正位置に持ち上げるために３回程度上下動作を繰り返す必要があった。 In addition, in the conventional lift-up mechanism, the egg is examined by lifting the rubber cup for each egg and pressing the egg against the optical fiber. However, since the size of the egg varies, 3 in order to lift the egg to an appropriate position. It was necessary to repeat the up and down movement about once.
このため、本願発明は、光源としてＬＥＤ光源を利用可能な構造を有すると共に、卵を適正位置に確実に持ち上げることができるリフト機構を具備する検卵装置を提供することにある。 For this reason, the present invention is to provide an egg inspection apparatus having a structure that can use an LED light source as a light source and having a lift mechanism that can reliably lift an egg to an appropriate position.
したがって、本願発明は、孵卵器から引き出された検査卵の入ったトレーを移動手段上に載置する卵投入整列部と、卵投入整列部から搬送されたトレーに入っている検査卵の良否判定を行い、不良卵を指定する検卵部と、該検卵部で不良卵と判定された卵を摘出廃棄する廃棄部とを少なくとも具備すると共に、前記検卵部が、上方に配置された光源部と、前記トレーの下方からトレー上に載置された検査卵を上方に持ち上げて該検査卵を前記光源部に当接させるリフト部と、光源に照らされた検査卵の良否を判定する判定部と、該判定部によって不良卵と判定された検査卵の位置を特定して前記廃棄部に通知する通知手段とを具備する検卵装置において、前記リフト部は、検査卵の径よりも小さい径を有する卵保持基部と、該卵保持基部を上下に移動させる移動手段と、前記卵保持基部の周縁に所定の間隔で設けられ、該卵保持基部から上方に所定の長さで延出する板状弾性部材からなる検卵保持部とを具備することにある。特に板状弾性部材は、卵保持基部の周縁に９０°毎に４つ配置された構造が好ましい。また、板状弾性部材は、樹脂製板バネであることが望ましい。 Therefore, the present invention provides an egg throwing / aligning section for placing a tray containing a test egg drawn out of an incubator on a moving means, and determining whether the test egg contained in the tray conveyed from the egg throwing / aligning section is acceptable. And a discarding unit for extracting and discarding an egg determined to be defective by the egg inspection unit, and the egg inspection unit is disposed above the light source. A determination unit that determines whether the test egg illuminated by the light source is good, a lift unit that lifts the test egg placed on the tray from below the tray and lifts the test egg into contact with the light source unit And an informing device for notifying the discarding unit of the position of the test egg determined to be a defective egg by the determination unit, wherein the lift unit is smaller than the diameter of the test egg An egg holding base having a diameter, and the egg holding base And an egg test holding unit comprising a plate-like elastic member provided at a predetermined interval on the periphery of the egg holding base and extending upward from the egg holding base by a predetermined length. There is. In particular, a structure in which four plate-like elastic members are arranged every 90 ° on the periphery of the egg holding base is preferable. The plate-like elastic member is preferably a resin leaf spring.
これによって、検査卵を持ち上げる場合、前記リフト部の卵保持基部の周囲から上方に延出する板状弾性部材が卵の下側側面に沿って外側へ開くようにして卵を抱えるように上方に持ち上げるため、板状弾性部材が卵の大きさに沿って外側に曲がることから、卵の大きさを吸収でき、確実に卵を光源部に接触させることが可能となるものである。 Accordingly, when lifting the test egg, the plate-like elastic member extending upward from the periphery of the egg holding base of the lift part is opened upward so as to hold the egg so as to open outward along the lower side surface of the egg. Since the plate-like elastic member bends outward along the size of the egg for lifting, the size of the egg can be absorbed and the egg can be reliably brought into contact with the light source part.
また、本願発明において、前記光源部は、光源としてのＬＥＤ光源を具備すると共に、前記検査卵に接触する放光側端部と、光源側に位置して光源からの光を集光する受光側端部とを有する光ファイバーを具備し、さらにＬＥＤ光源と光ファイバーの受光側端部の間にオレンジ色のフィルターガラスを介在させることが望ましい。 In the invention of the present application, the light source unit includes an LED light source as a light source, a light emitting side end contacting the test egg, and a light receiving side that is located on the light source side and collects light from the light source. It is desirable that an optical fiber having an end is provided, and an orange filter glass is interposed between the LED light source and the light receiving side end of the optical fiber.
これによって、従来のハロゲン光源と同様の状況を作り出すことができるため、従来と同様の検卵を実施することができるものである。 As a result, a situation similar to that of a conventional halogen light source can be created, so that an egg inspection similar to the conventional one can be performed.
さらにまた、本願発明において、前記判定部は、検査卵の良否を判定員の目視によって判定するものであり、前記通知手段は、持ち上げられた検査卵に対応する位置に配置されたスイッチの内、目視によって不良卵と判定した検査卵に対応する位置にあるスイッチを押すことによって、不良卵の位置を廃棄部に通知するものであることが望ましい。 Furthermore, in the invention of the present application, the determination unit determines whether the test egg is good or bad by visual inspection of a judge, and the notification means is a switch arranged at a position corresponding to the lifted test egg, It is desirable to notify the discarding unit of the position of the defective egg by pressing a switch at a position corresponding to the test egg that is visually determined to be a defective egg.
また、本願発明において、前記スイッチが配置されたスイッチプパネルは、所定の角度で判定員側に傾斜することが望ましく、特に、その角度は１５°であることが望ましい。特に、検査員が腰掛けて作業できるように腰掛け式とした場合に、この傾斜したスイッチパネルは有効である。 In the present invention, the switch panel on which the switch is arranged is preferably inclined to the judge side at a predetermined angle, and in particular, the angle is preferably 15 °. In particular, this tilted switch panel is effective when it is a stool type so that an inspector can sit and work.
さらに、本願発明において、前記判定部は、画像処理によって自動的に検査卵を判定し、不良卵の位置を前記廃棄部に通知する画像処理システムであることが望ましい。また、本願発明において、前記判定部は、検査員による手動式と自動式の両方が切り替えによって実施されることが望ましい。 Furthermore, in the present invention, the determination unit is preferably an image processing system that automatically determines a test egg by image processing and notifies the discard unit of the position of the defective egg. In the invention of the present application, it is desirable that the determination unit is implemented by switching both manual and automatic by an inspector.
さらにまた、前記判定部を第１の判定部とし、前記廃棄部の後に、再度検査卵の良否判定を行う第２の判定部を設けるようにしても良いものである。この場合、第１の判定部及び第２の判定部共に、手動式及び自動式の両方が選択できるようにすることが望ましく、また第１の判定部を自動式にし、第２の判定部を検査員の目視による手動式の判定としても良いものである。 Furthermore, the determination unit may be a first determination unit, and a second determination unit that determines the quality of the test egg again may be provided after the discard unit. In this case, it is desirable that both the first determination unit and the second determination unit can be selected from a manual type and an automatic type, and the first determination unit is set to an automatic type, and the second determination unit is set to be automatic. It may be a manual determination by visual inspection by an inspector.
本願発明によれば、板状弾性部材によって卵を抱えるように持ち上げることができるため、確実に光源部に接触させることができるために、検査時間を短縮させることができるという効果が生じる。さらに、光源をＬＥＤ光源としたため、光源の寿命が長くすることができると共に、オレンジ色のフィルターガラスを用いることによって従来と同様の検査を実施できると共に光源寿命を延ばすことができるようになったものである。 According to the present invention, since the egg can be lifted by the plate-like elastic member so that it can be reliably brought into contact with the light source part, an effect that the inspection time can be shortened is produced. Furthermore, since the light source is an LED light source, the lifetime of the light source can be extended, and by using an orange filter glass, the same inspection as before can be performed and the lifetime of the light source can be extended. It is.

前記判定部３０は、前記光源部５０により照射された光により映し出された映像や、影の状態から判定員９の目視判定又は映像処理システムによる映像判定によって、不良卵（無精卵及び発育不良卵）を選定するもので、判定員９による目視の場合に使用する複数のスイッチ３１と、これら複数のスイッチ３１が検査卵１１の位置に対応して配置されるスイッチパネル３２と具備する。また、自動検卵の場合に対応して、検査卵１１が上昇して放光側端部５１に当接した位置の側方には検査卵１１の照射された光による映像を撮影するカメラが設けられており、このカメラによって撮影された映像が画像処理されて不良卵を特定し、その位置を次なる不良卵摘出部４に送信する。また、判定員９による目視検査の場合には、不良卵が判定された場合、その判定された不良卵に対応する位置あるスイッチ３１を押してその位置信号を次の不良卵摘出部４に送信する。 The determination unit 30 detects a defective egg (an unfertilized egg and a poorly developed egg) based on an image projected by the light emitted from the light source unit 50 or a visual determination of a judge 9 from a shadow state or an image determination by a video processing system. And a plurality of switches 31 used in the case of visual observation by the judge 9 and a switch panel 32 in which the plurality of switches 31 are arranged corresponding to the position of the test egg 11. Corresponding to the case of automatic egg inspection, a camera that shoots an image of the light irradiated by the test egg 11 on the side of the position where the test egg 11 rises and comes into contact with the light emission side end 51 is provided. An image captured by the camera is processed to identify a defective egg, and the position is transmitted to the next defective egg extraction unit 4. Further, in the case of visual inspection by the judge 9, when a defective egg is determined, the position signal corresponding to the determined defective egg is pressed to transmit the position signal to the next defective egg extraction unit 4. .
また、前記スイッチパネル３２は、図１に示すように、作業性を向上させるために、判定員９側へ所定の角度α傾斜していることが望ましい。この角度αは、例えば１５°である。 Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the switch panel 32 is preferably inclined at a predetermined angle α toward the judge 9 side in order to improve workability. This angle α is, for example, 15 °.

When the judgment member 9 turns on the inspection switch, the cylinder 41 is activated to irradiate the inspection egg 11 with light from a light source that lifts the inspection egg holding portion 44 and contacts the light emission side end portion 51. The judge 9 judges whether the test egg 11 is a good fertilized egg or a bad egg (an inferior egg and a poorly developed egg) from the image or shadow generated by the irradiated light. The corresponding switch on the panel 32 is turned on, and the signal of the next defective egg extraction unit 4 is transmitted. The inspection egg 11 that has been inspected is returned to the tray 10, and the tray 10 moves from the first inspection unit 3 to the defective egg extraction unit 4.
不良卵摘出部４では、トレー１０上の検査卵１１の上部に、検査卵１１に対応して配置されたゴム製吸着パットの内、前記第１の検査部３からの信号に基づいて不良卵に対応するゴム製吸着パットが下降し、不良卵を吸着して持ち上げて移動し、廃棄ボックス５に廃棄するようになっている。また、不良卵摘出部４の次の優良卵補填部６では、不良卵が摘出された空白となって所に発育優良有精卵を補填し、トレー１０を満杯にするものである。 In the defective egg extraction unit 4, a defective egg based on a signal from the first inspection unit 3 among the rubber suction pads arranged in correspondence with the inspection egg 11 above the inspection egg 11 on the tray 10. The rubber adsorbing pad corresponding to is lowered, adsorbs the defective egg, lifts and moves it, and discards it in the disposal box 5. Further, the excellent egg supplementing unit 6 next to the defective egg extraction unit 4 fills the tray 10 with the developmental excellent sperm egg in the space where the defective egg has been extracted.
このトレー１０は、さらに第２の検査部７に送られ、第１の検査部３と同様の作業が行われ、不良卵が１つでも混じらないように検査されるものである。これによって不良卵の全くないトレー１０は、卵取出部８に移動して待機するものである。 The tray 10 is further sent to the second inspection unit 7, where the same operation as that of the first inspection unit 3 is performed, and the tray 10 is inspected so that even one defective egg is not mixed. Accordingly, the tray 10 having no defective egg moves to the egg take-out unit 8 and waits.
以上のことにより、本願発明の検卵装置によれば、検卵精度及び作業効率を確実に向上させることができるものである。 As described above, according to the egg inspection apparatus of the present invention, the egg inspection accuracy and work efficiency can be reliably improved.
