Abstract :
This paper proposed a new method to solve the problems in the sorting and grading process of eggs,such as eggs friability, the low efficiency and the poor accuracy of the artificial classification. The crank-rocker mechanism with vacuum suctions was used to design a set of eggs grading hardware equipments based on machine vision system. The agency not only ensured the transmitting stability of eggs and matching with the equipment of eggs quality inspection based on machine vision system but also improved the efficiency and accuracy of sorting of eggs. Diameter and shape of the sucker, vacuum degree of micro-vacuum pump, pumping speed would directly affect the adsorption results through the calculation and analysis. Then the relevant parameters of the crank-rocker mechanism was determined, the convergence and matching with the egg-quality detecting equipment were completed through Pro / E virtual kinematics simulation.
