PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To ensure a reliable egg inspection.SOLUTION: An egg screening and packaging system includes an egg conveying device having: a first conveyor for conveying eggs aligned in a first direction in a plurality of lines with a longitudinal axis of the eggs aligning in the first direction a posture changing part for receiving the eggs from the first conveyor and changing a posture of the eggs so that the longitudinal axis of the egg aligns in a second direction which is orthogonal to the first direction and a second conveyor for receiving the eggs from the posture changing part and conveying the eggs in a third direction which is orthogonal to the second direction with less number of lines than those of the first conveyor. The system also includes egg inspection means attached to the second conveyor of the egg conveying device for inspecting the eggs from the second direction, the longitudinal axis of the eggs aligning in the second direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】卵の検査を確実にする。【解決手段】卵の選別包装システムは、卵の長軸を第1の方向に沿わせて、第1の方向に並べられた卵を複数列で搬送する第1の搬送部と、前記第1の搬送部から卵を受け、第1の方向と交差する第2の方向に長軸を沿わせるように卵の姿勢を変更する姿勢変更部と、前記姿勢変更部から卵を受け、第2の方向と交差する第3の方向に第1の搬送部より少ない列数で卵を搬送する第2の搬送部とを備える卵の搬送装置と、前記搬送装置の前記第2の搬送部に取り付けられ、第2の方向に長軸を沿わせた卵を第2の方向から観察する卵の観察手段とを備える。【選択図】図5
