Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically a conservation device. Background Technology

[0002] Newborn piglets, sheep, cattle, and other farmed animals often come from birth in unsanitary environments, posing a risk of disease transmission. Furthermore, their weak immune systems and frail constitutions make them prone to health problems, hindering their growth. Therefore, farmed animal offspring are not suitable for traditional penning. Nursery pens are a new type of livestock farming technology developed to meet the needs of modern animal husbandry. Through intelligent monitoring and management, the temperature and humidity of the pens can be precisely regulated, ensuring a clean, comfortable, and safe environment for the offspring, thus improving the quality of their rearing.

[0003] However, traditional nursery systems also experience bacterial growth after a period of use, and irritating gases such as ammonia are produced in the enclosures during the rearing process. These bacteria and gases, released into the air, threaten the health of the keepers and worsen the rearing environment. Furthermore, the ventilation systems in nursery rooms often only improve the odor, failing to disinfect or sterilize. Summary of the Invention

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the invention and are not intended to limit the invention; that is, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the invention, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the invention described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0027] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the invention.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment of the invention, an adjustable base 1 and several incubators 2 are included. The adjustable base 1 includes an air duct chamber 11, a temperature control chamber 12, and several installation chambers 13. The temperature control chamber 12 is fitted to the several installation chambers 13. A sterilization module 111 is installed inside the air duct chamber 11. The several incubators 2 are detachably connected to their corresponding installation chambers 13. An air duct 21 is provided between the incubators 2 and the air duct chamber 11, and the incubators 2 are connected through the air duct 21.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] The temperature control system and the ventilation system are two separate systems, each controlled independently. A resistance heating device is installed inside the temperature control chamber 12, which conducts heat to the incubator 2 through the chamber to control the temperature inside the incubator 2. Free bacteria and harmful gases generated inside the incubator 2 are drawn from inside the incubator 2 into the air duct chamber 11. During this flow, the air is disinfected by the sterilization module 111, ensuring that the recirculated air does not contaminate the environment inside and outside the incubator after it is exhausted.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the temperature control system regulates the temperature of the incubator 2 via water temperature. The incubator also includes a water temperature control box 3, which precisely controls the internal water temperature and outputs warm water via a drive assembly. The temperature control chamber 12 includes a main channel 121 and several heat exchange chambers 122. These heat exchange chambers 122 surround the installation chamber 13 and are connected to the main channel 121. The water temperature control box 3 is connected to both ends of the main channel 121. The water temperature control box 3 outputs warm water into the main channel 121, where it distributes the warm water to each heat exchange chamber 122. Each heat exchange chamber 122 contacts its corresponding incubator 2, transferring the water's temperature through its side walls to the incubator 2, thus regulating the temperature of the incubator 2.

[0033] Compared to resistance temperature control, hydrothermal temperature control offers a wider coverage range and more uniform temperature distribution. Resistance heating elements are prone to damage, while hydrothermal control eliminates the risk of component failure, resulting in more stable and safer operation.

[0034] The advantage of resistance temperature control is that each temperature control chamber 12 can be individually controlled. Therefore, to improve the controllability of the temperature control chamber 12, solenoid valves 123 are installed between several heat exchange chambers 122 and the main flow channel 121. Liquid transfer between the heat exchange chambers 122 and the main flow channel 121 is controlled by the solenoid valves 123, which are electrically connected to the operating interface of the conservation device via wires. By controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valves 123 through the operating interface, the temperature control of each temperature control chamber 12 can be individually controlled.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the temperature control system and the ventilation system are two interconnected systems. Specifically, the incubation device also includes a pump pipe assembly 4, which includes a gas-liquid jet pump 41, a gas manifold 42, and a liquid manifold 43. The gas manifold 42 connects the air duct chamber 11 to the gas-liquid jet pump 41, and the liquid manifold 43 connects the main flow channel 121 to the gas-liquid jet pump 41. After heat exchange in the main flow channel 121, the liquid enters the gas-liquid jet pump 41 through the liquid manifold 43. The gas-liquid jet pump 41 generates a negative pressure area inside due to the flow of liquid. Air in the air duct chamber 11 enters the gas-liquid jet pump 41 through the gas manifold 42. The gas is attracted and driven by the negative pressure area and mixes with the water flow before being discharged. With this setup, there is no need to set up an additional drive assembly to attract the gas in the incubator 2 into the air duct chamber 11, and the kinetic energy of the water flow is fully utilized to drive the pump to pump out the gas.

[0037] The gas-liquid jet pump 41 includes an inlet 411, a throat 412, a gas-liquid jet nozzle 413, an air intake 414, and an air intake pipe 415. The inlet 411, throat 412, and gas-liquid jet nozzle 413 are connected in sequence. A negative pressure chamber 416 is formed between the throat 412 and the air intake pipe 415. The air intake 414 is connected to the air intake pipe 415, the gas manifold 42 is connected to the air intake 414, and the liquid manifold 43 is connected to the inlet 411. Liquid enters the inlet 411 from the liquid manifold 43 and flows through the throat 412. During the flow of liquid through the throat 412, a negative pressure area is generated at the negative pressure chamber 416. The negative pressure area attracts gas in the gas manifold 42, drawing the gas in from the air intake 414 and through the air intake pipe 415 into the negative pressure chamber 416. Finally, the gas mixes with the water and is discharged from the gas-liquid jet nozzle 413.

[0038] The inner diameter of the throat 412 decreases from large to small along the direction from the liquid inlet 411 to the negative pressure chamber 416, while the inner diameter of the throat 412 increases from small to large along the direction from the negative pressure chamber 416 to the gas-liquid injection port 413. By forming a conical structure at both ends of the throat 412, the liquid is compressed when passing through the throat 412, increasing the water pressure and flow velocity at this point, thereby rapidly reducing the air pressure value at the negative pressure chamber 416, allowing the air and water flow to mix.

[0039] After the gas-liquid mixture is ejected from the gas-liquid injection port 413, it still needs to undergo gas-liquid separation. Therefore, the conservation device also includes a gas-liquid separation device 5. The gas-liquid injection port 413 is connected to the input end of the gas-liquid separation device 5, and the output end of the gas-liquid separation device 5 is connected to the water temperature control box 3. After the gas-liquid mixture enters the gas-liquid separation device 5, since the density of gas is much smaller than that of liquid, the gas rises and escapes on its own inside the gas-liquid separation device 5. The separated liquid then enters the water temperature control box 3 for water temperature control and participates in the next heat exchange cycle.

[0040] In addition, since ammonia gas will dissolve in the liquid to form ammonia water, a heating device can be installed in the gas-liquid separation device 5 to heat the mixture and separate the ammonia gas. The separated ammonia gas is then collected again to avoid being directly discharged into the air.

[0041] Example 4

[0042] Please see Figure 2 As shown, the sterilization module 111 is a UVC germicidal lamp, which is arranged along the length of the air duct chamber 11. Under the irradiation of ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength, the UVC germicidal lamp can destroy the DNA and RNA of microorganisms, thereby preventing their growth and reproduction, achieving the effect of killing bacteria and viruses. Because ultraviolet light is emitted in the form of light, it can irradiate every space and corner within the air duct chamber 11, fully ensuring sterilization efficiency. Unlike some chemical disinfection methods, UVC sterilization does not require the use of chemicals, therefore leaving no chemical residues after treatment, thus avoiding potential subsequent contamination risks.

[0043] A liquid-cooled flow channel 124 is provided between the sterilization module 111 and the main flow channel 121, and the water temperature control box 3 is connected to both ends of the liquid-cooled flow channel 124. When current passes through the UVC lamp, the fluorescent material inside the lamp absorbs the current and then emits ultraviolet light. In this process, part of the current is converted into ultraviolet radiation, and part of the energy is converted into heat energy. Therefore, if the circuit board of the UVC module is not heat-dissipated, a large amount of heat energy can easily accumulate. The water temperature in the liquid-cooled flow channel 124 is controlled separately by the water temperature control box 3. When the low-temperature water flows through the liquid-cooled flow channel 124, it carries away the heat from the sterilization module 111, reducing the temperature of the UVC module through heat exchange, and ensuring that the sterilization module 111 can work efficiently and stably.

[0044] Example 5

[0045] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the incubator 2 includes a body 22 and a hinged lid 23. The lid 23 is hinged to the body 22, and the inner lining of the lid 23 forms a ventilation cavity 231, which is connected to the air duct 21. The lid 23 can rotate relative to the body 22, thereby opening and closing the incubator 2. A ventilation opening is provided on the side wall of the top lid 23, which is connected to the ventilation cavity 231, allowing airflow from bottom to top. The air inlet of the incubator can be located at the bottom of the body 22; this airflow pattern can effectively guide harmful gases and free bacteria out of the body 22.

[0046] Because the flip cover 23 rotates relative to the box body 22, the air duct 21 is a telescopic tube with folds to prevent interference between the flip cover 23 and the air duct 21. When the flip cover 23 is opened, the folds on the air duct 21 are compressed, causing the telescopic tube to contract. When the flip cover 23 is closed, the folds on the air duct 21 unfold, causing the telescopic tube to extend. This structure ensures that the flip cover 23 will not interfere with the air duct 21 during opening and closing, preventing the air duct 21 from bending or breaking. The air duct 21 and the flip cover 23 are detachably connected; the air duct 21 can be removed when the incubator 2 needs to be moved.

[0047] The above description is merely an example and illustration of the structure of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described, or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not deviate from the structure of the invention or exceed the scope defined in the claims, all of which should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
