Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of incubators, and in particular to an incubator. Background Art

[0002] An incubator is a machine that artificially simulates the maternal instincts of oviparous animals by controlling the temperature, humidity, and egg turning conditions, and then develops fertilized eggs into living things after a certain period of time. It is mainly used in farms, hatcheries, incubation laboratories of biological companies, incubation laboratories of schools, etc.

[0003] Patent application number CN116420654B discloses a tilting transmission structure, an egg hatching trolley, and an incubator. Paragraph

[0062] of the specification specifically discloses the transmission docking structure between two adjacent egg hatching trolleys and between the egg hatching trolley and the power mechanism. Paragraph

[0063] of the specification specifically discloses the latching and locking structure between two adjacent egg hatching trolleys and between the egg hatching trolley and the incubator. Before incubation begins, a worker pushes the egg hatching trolley through the front door of the incubator into a predetermined position on the ground rail, achieving transmission docking and latching between the two adjacent egg hatching trolleys and between the egg hatching trolley and the power mechanism.

[0031] The following is combined with Figure 1-12 This application is described in further detail.

[0032] The present application discloses an incubator.

[0033] Reference Figure 1-3 The incubator includes an incubation box 1, an incubation system 2, an incubation trolley 3, and a power system 4; wherein the incubation system 2 is arranged inside the incubation box 1, and the incubation system 2 includes an airflow module, a temperature module, and a humidity module, etc., which are used to create incubation conditions for oviparous animals; a plurality of ground rails 12 are provided inside the incubation box 1, and the universal wheel group of the incubation trolley 3 is slidably provided on the ground rails 12 of the incubation box 1; the power system 4 is provided inside the incubation box 1, and a transmission module is provided between the power system 4 and the incubation trolley 3, so that the fertilized eggs loaded on the incubation trolley 3 can be turned over according to a predetermined rule under the drive of the power system 4 to reduce the occurrence of embryo adhesion. It should be noted that the relevant structural principles and methods in the above-mentioned incubation process are prior art. For details, please refer to the patent announcement number CN116420654B proposed by the applicant in 2023, which discloses a turning transmission structure, incubation trolley 3, and incubator, which will not be repeated here.

[0034] In this embodiment, the incubator 1 is hingedly provided with doors 11 on both the front and rear sides along the extension direction of the floor rails 12, so that the incubation trolleys 3 can be pushed in and out of the incubator 1. For the sake of convenience, the two sets of doors 11 are named as the front door and the rear door respectively.

[0035] In this embodiment, the power system 4 includes a power module 41 and a mobile module 42. The power module 41 comprises multiple drive motors, each corresponding to a plurality of ground rails 12 and fixedly connected via a motor mounting plate. This allows the multiple drive motors to be connected to the plurality of hatching trolleys 3 in a transmission manner, thereby forming a power source. In other embodiments, a single motor with multiple output terminals may be employed. For details, reference may be made to the rotary docking structure disclosed in the patent application publication number CN210168747U filed by the applicant in 2019, which will not be further described here. It can be seen that there are multiple implementations of the power module 41. The core concept is that the power module 41 connects to the hatching trolley 3 in a transmission manner and provides a power source. For ease of reading and review, two preferred embodiments of this application are listed here. This does not limit the scope of protection of this application. Any equivalent variations based on the structure, shape, or principle of the power module 41 are encompassed within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] Reference Figure 2-4In this embodiment, the mobile module 42 includes a first mobile component 421 and a second mobile component 422; wherein the power module 41 is arranged on the first mobile component 421, and the first mobile component 421 is used to drive and adjust the position of the power module 41. The first mobile component 421 specifically includes a mounting platform 4211, a propulsion screw 4212 and a propulsion motor 4213. The mounting platform 4211 is fixedly provided with a propulsion slide rail 4214 arranged parallel to the ground rail 12. The power system 4 is slidably arranged on the propulsion slide rail 4214, the propulsion screw 4212 is rotatably arranged on the mounting platform 4211, the power system 4 is threadedly connected to the propulsion screw 4212, and the propulsion motor 4213 is fixedly provided with a propulsion slide rail 4214 arranged parallel to the ground rail 12. 3 is fixedly arranged on the mounting platform 4211 and is used to drive the propulsion screw 4212 to rotate; the second moving component 422 specifically includes a mounting column 4221, a lifting screw 4222 and a lifting motor 4223. The mounting column 4221 is fixedly arranged on one side of the rear door of the incubator body 1. The mounting column 4221 is fixedly provided with a vertically arranged lifting rail 4224. The mounting platform 4211 is slidably arranged on the lifting rail 4224. The lifting screw 4222 is rotatably arranged on the mounting column 4221. The mounting platform 4211 is threadedly connected to the lifting screw 4222. The lifting motor 4223 is fixedly provided on the mounting column 4221 and is used to drive the lifting screw 4222 to rotate. During operation, the first moving assembly 421 can control the power module 41 to move along the extension direction of the floor rail 12 (towards or away from the hatching trolley 3), thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the power module 41. During operation, the second moving assembly 422 can control the power module 41 to move vertically, thereby adjusting the height of the first moving assembly 421 and the power module 41. When the hatching trolley 3 is unable to move backwards through the front door of the incubator 1 due to structural or space constraints (for example, the universal wheels of the hatching trolley 3 easily swing and rub against the floor rail 12, making it difficult to move backward along the floor rail 12, or the hatching space is linear, making it difficult for the hatching trolley 3 to move forward but not backward), the first moving assembly 421 and the second moving assembly 422 cooperate to move the power module 41 and other structures of the incubator to a position that does not hinder the hatching trolley 3 from being pushed out of the rear door of the incubator 1. This allows the hatching trolley 3 to be pushed in through the front door of the incubator 1 and pushed out through the rear door of the incubator 1. This is suitable for scenarios with structural or space constraints and has greater practicality.

[0037] In other embodiments, the moving module 42 can directly drive the power module 41 to move along the extension direction of the floor rail 12 (away from the hatching trolley 3) to a position far enough away, so that the power module 41 and other structures of the incubator can be moved and adjusted to not hinder the hatching trolley 3 from being pushed out from the rear door of the incubator 1. Specifically, a linear drive structure (e.g., a linear motor / motor screw / pneumatic cylinder / hydraulic cylinder, etc.) can be provided on the top of the incubator 1 as the moving module 42, and the power module 41 can be fixedly provided at the moving end of the linear drive structure. A pulley structure for facilitating movement can also be provided at the bottom of the power module 41. The linear drive structure drives the moving module 42 to move along the extension direction of the floor rail 12 (away from the hatching trolley 3) to a position far enough away, so that the power module 41 can be moved and adjusted to not hinder the hatching trolley 3 from being pushed out from the rear door of the incubator 1. Similarly, the hatching trolley 3 can be pushed into the incubator 1 through the front door and pushed out from the rear door of the incubator 1. In other embodiments, the movable module 42 may also directly drive the power module 41 to move vertically to a sufficiently high position, so that the power module 41 and other structures of the incubator are moved and adjusted to a position that does not hinder the hatching trolley 3 from being pushed out from the rear door of the incubator 1. This also enables the hatching trolley 3 to be pushed in from the front door of the incubator 1 and pushed out from the rear door of the incubator 1. Thus, there are many possible implementations of the movable module 42. The core concept is that the movable module 42 drives and adjusts the position of the power module 41 so that the hatching trolley 3 can be pushed out from the rear door of the incubator 1 without hindrance. For ease of reading and review, two preferred embodiments of the present application are listed here. This does not limit the scope of protection of the present application. Any equivalent changes based on the structure, shape, or principle of the movable module 42 should be included within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0038] Reference Figure 6-8In this embodiment, the hatching egg trolley 3 is provided with a first locking module 51 that is adapted for head and tail clamping, and the moving module 42 is provided with a second locking module 52 that is adapted for clamping with the first locking module 51; wherein the first locking module 51 includes a locking component 511, an elastic component 512 and two sets of unlocking components 513, the locking component 511 includes a linkage rod group 5111 and two sets of locking hooks 5112, the two sets of locking hooks 5112 have a J-shaped cross-section, the hook parts of the two sets of J-shaped locking hooks 5112 are arranged oppositely, and the two sets of J-shaped locking hooks 5112 are hingedly arranged on the hatching egg trolley 3. The front and rear sides of the hatching egg trolley 3 are connected so that two adjacent hatching egg trolleys 3 can be locked together through the locking hooks 5112; the two ends of the linkage rod group 5111 are respectively hingedly provided on the two groups of locking hooks 5112, so that the locking hooks 5112 on the front and rear sides of the hatching egg trolley 3 are linked to each other; the elastic component 512 is a tension spring, and the elastic component 512 is connected between the hatching egg trolley 3 and the locking hooks 5112 on the rear side, or between the hatching egg trolley 3 and the locking hooks 5112 on the rear side, so that the corresponding locking hook 5112 always has the tendency to rotate to be locked with the other locking hook 5112. In other embodiments, the elastic component 512 may be configured as a torsion spring; the two sets of unlocking components 513 are unlocking handles, and the two sets of unlocking components 513 are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the hatching trolley 3, and below the two sets of locking hooks 5112. The bottoms of the unlocking components 513 are hinged to the hatching trolley 3, and the tops of the unlocking components 513 are hinged to the linkage rod group 5111. When the hatching trolley 3 is pushed in through the front door of the incubator 1 and pushed out through the rear door of the incubator 1, the staff member needs to lock two adjacent hatching trolleys 3 on the side near the front door of the incubator 1, and unlock two adjacent hatching trolleys 3 on the side near the rear door of the incubator 1. Regardless of whether the staff member is standing on the front or rear side of the hatching trolley 3, they can grip the unlocking component 513 on that side to lock / unlock the two adjacent hatching trolleys 3, thereby achieving a double-sided unlocking / locking function. The second locking module 52 includes a locking hook 5112 which also has a J-shaped cross-section. The end of the second locking module 52 is hingedly arranged on the mounting platform 4211 of the first movable component 421, and the locking hook 5112 of the second locking module 52 and the locking hook 5112 of the first locking module 51 can also be hooked together to form a snap-on lock.

[0039] Before hatching begins, when the hatching egg trolley 3 is pushed into a predetermined position along the ground rail 12 from the front door of the incubation box 1, the first hatching egg trolley 3 is hooked and engaged with the second locking module 52 to form a locking lock, and the two adjacent hatching egg trolleys 3 are hooked and engaged head to tail by the first locking module 51 to form a locking lock; during the incubation process, the incubation system 2 creates an incubation condition for oviparous animals inside the incubation box 1, and the power module 41 is connected to the hatching egg trolley 3 to provide a power source, so that the hatching egg trolley 3 turns the fertilized eggs according to a predetermined rule to reduce the occurrence of embryo adhesion; after the incubation is completed, the power module 41 and other structures of the incubator are moved and adjusted by the moving module 42 to not hinder the hatching egg trolley 3 from being pushed out from the rear door side of the incubation box 1, thereby realizing that the hatching egg trolley 3 is pushed in by the front door of the incubation box 1 and pushed out by the rear door of the incubation box 1, which is suitable for scenes with limited structure or space, and has higher practicality.

[0040] In other embodiments, the hatching trolley 3 may also be unlocked from one side. For details, reference may be made to the hatching trolley 3 locking structure disclosed in the patent publication number CN219373484U filed by the applicant in 2023. This will not be described in detail here, but it is worth mentioning that an operating space needs to be left between the multiple ground rails 12 so that workers can reach the side with the unlocking handle to lock / unlock. Thus, it can be seen that there are many implementations of the first locking module 51 and the second locking module 52. The core concept lies in locking / unlocking the first hatching trolley 3 and the power system 4, and between two adjacent hatching trolleys 3. For ease of reading and review, two preferred embodiments of the present application are listed here. This does not limit the scope of protection of the present application. Any equivalent changes based on the structure / shape / principle of the first locking module 51 and the second locking module 52 should be covered by the scope of protection of the present application.

[0041] In this embodiment, a first linkage module 53 is provided between the second locking module 52 and the power module 41, and when the power module 41 moves to a predetermined position, the power module 41 controls the second locking module 52 to lock / unlock through the first linkage module 53; the first linkage module 53 specifically includes a first linkage component 531 and a first control component 532, wherein the first control component 532 is a square tube structure, and the first control component 532 is fixedly provided on the mounting plate of the power module 41, so that the first control component 532 and the power module 41 can be driven by the first moving component 421 along the ground rail. 12 extending direction (towards / away from the hatching egg trolley 3), the first linkage component 531 is a connecting rod structure, one end of the first linkage component 531 is hingedly provided on the first control component 532, and the other end of the first linkage component 531 is hingedly provided on the second locking module 52, and when the power module 41 moves to a predetermined position, the first control component 532 can control the second locking module 52 to rotate through the first linkage component 531, so that the second locking module 52 rotates to engage with / separate from the first locking module 51, thereby realizing locking / unlocking of the first locking module 51 and the second locking module 52.

[0042] In other embodiments, the first linkage module 53 can use an inclined slider and an inclined slide rail to cooperate to control the rotation of the second locking module 52; specifically, the middle part of the second locking module 52 is hingedly set on the mounting platform 4211 of the first movable component 421, and the first linkage module 53 includes an inclined slider and an inclined slide rail, wherein the inclined slider is hingedly set at the end of the second locking module 52 away from the first locking module 51, and the inclined slide rail is fixedly set on the power module 41, so that the inclined slide rail and the power module 41 can be driven by the first movable component 421 to move along the extension direction of the ground rail 12 (towards / away from the hatching egg trolley 3), and the inclined slider is slidably set on the inclined slide rail; when the inclined slide rail and the power module 41 move along the extension direction of the ground rail 12 (towards / away from the hatching egg trolley 3), the inclined slider slides along the inclined slide rail, and the height of the inclined slider changes, thereby achieving the prying of the second locking module 52 for rotation. It can be seen that there are multiple implementation methods of the first linkage module 53. The core concept is that the second locking module 52 is controlled by the first linkage module 53 to lock / unlock during the movement of the power module 41. For the convenience of reading and review, two preferred embodiments of the present application are listed here. This does not limit the scope of protection of the present application. All equivalent changes made based on the structure / shape / principle of the first linkage module 53 should be covered within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0043] Reference Figure 9-11In this embodiment, a third locking module 61 is provided on the side of the floor rail 12 near the rear door of the incubator 1. The third locking module 61 is engaged with the universal wheel assembly of the hatching trolley 3 to restrict the hatching trolley 3 from moving toward the rear door of the incubator 1. The third locking module 61 specifically includes an installation component 611, a limiting component 612, and a third locking component 613. When the hatching trolley 3 slides along the floor rail 12, the third locking component 613 controls the limiting component 612 to be inserted into or out of the avoidance position 13. The bottom of the ground rail 12 is provided with an avoidance position 13, which is a square through hole. The mounting assembly 611 is fixedly arranged on the ground rail 12. The mounting assembly 611 is a hollow rectangular structure with an open top, and the mounting assembly 611 is located at a corresponding position below the avoidance position 13 of the ground rail 12, and is used to provide an installation basis for the limit assembly 612 and the third locking assembly 613; the cross section of the limit assembly 612 is a triangular structure, and one of the corner positions of the limit assembly 612 is rotatably arranged on the mounting assembly 611, so that the other side of the limit assembly 612 can be rotated. The third locking assembly 613 is a cam structure, and the third locking assembly 613 is rotatably arranged on the mounting assembly 611, and the third locking assembly 613 is located below the limiting assembly 612; before the start of incubation, when the hatching trolley 3 is pushed into the predetermined position along the ground rail 12 by the front door of the incubation box 1, the third locking assembly 613 is in sliding contact with the outer periphery of the limiting assembly 612 during the forward rotation process, so that one side of the limiting assembly 612 can be rotated and embedded in the avoidance position 13, so that the limiting assembly 612 and the hatching trolley 3 are in perfect contact. The third locking assembly 613 abuts against the wheel group to limit the movement of the hatching egg trolley 3 toward the rear door side of the incubation box 1; after the incubation is completed, the third locking assembly 613 disengages from the outer periphery of the limiting assembly 612 during the reverse rotation process, so that one side of the limiting assembly 612 can rotate out of the avoidance position 13 under the action of its own gravity, thereby not hindering the hatching egg trolley 3 from being pushed out from the rear door side of the incubation box 1, thereby enabling the hatching egg trolley 3 to be pushed in from the front door of the incubation box 1 and pushed out from the rear door of the incubation box 1. This is suitable for scenes with limited structure or space, and has higher practicality.

[0044] It is worth mentioning that the multiple third locking assemblies 613 between the multiple ground rails 12 are coaxially connected via a synchronization shaft 614 , and the synchronization shaft 614 can drive all the third locking assemblies 613 to rotate.

[0045] In other embodiments, the third locking module 61 can be electrically controlled to engage or disengage the avoidance position 13, for example, by controlling the engagement or disengagement of the limit block by a cylinder piston rod. This can also achieve engagement with the avoidance position 13 before incubation begins, thereby restricting the hatching trolley 3 from moving toward the rear door of the incubator 1, and disengage from the avoidance position 13 after incubation is complete, thereby ensuring that the hatching trolley 3 is not obstructed from being ejected from the rear door of the incubator 1. Thus, there are various implementations of the third locking module 61, the core concept of which is to switch between restricting the movement of the hatching trolley 3 and preventing the movement of the hatching trolley 3 according to the desired scenario. For ease of reading and review, two preferred embodiments of the present application are listed here, but this does not limit the scope of protection of the present application. Any equivalent changes based on the structure, shape, or principle of the third locking module 61 are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0046] In this embodiment, a second linkage module 62 is provided between the third locking module 61 and the moving module 42, and when the first moving component 421 moves to a predetermined position, the first moving component 421 controls the third locking module 61 to lock or unlock through the second linkage module 62; the second linkage module 62 specifically includes a second linkage component 621 and a second control component 622, wherein the second control component 622 includes an upper sliding plate 6221 and a lower sliding plate 6222, the upper sliding plate 6221 and the lower sliding plate 6222 are both slidably set on the lifting rail 4224, the mounting platform 4211 of the first moving component 421 is also slidably set on the lifting rail 4224, and the upper sliding plate 6221 and the lower sliding plate 6222 are respectively located on the first moving component 421. Above and below the component 421; the second linkage component 621 includes a rotating rod 6211, a long connecting rod 6212, a short connecting rod 6213 and a pry bar 6214. The rotating rod 6211 is a square tube structure. The middle part of the rotating rod 6211 is fixedly set on the synchronous shaft 614, so that the rotating rod 6211 can drive all the third locking components 613 to rotate through the synchronous shaft 614. The two ends of the long connecting rod 6212 are respectively hinged between the upper sliding plate 6221 and the front end of the rotating rod 6211. The middle part of the pry bar 6214 is rotatably set on the mounting column 4221. The front end of the pry bar 6214 is provided with a pulley abutting the bottom of the lower sliding plate 6222. The two ends of the short connecting rod 6213 are respectively hinged between the tail end of the pry bar 6214 and the tail end of the rotating rod 6211. Before hatching begins, the second moving assembly 422 drives the first moving assembly 421 and the power module 41 to descend vertically to a predetermined height. During the descending process of the first moving assembly 421, the lower sliding plate 6222 is pushed down. During the descending process of the lower sliding plate 6222, the tail end of the rotating rod 6211 is pulled by the pry bar 6214 and the short connecting rod 6213, so that the synchronous shaft 614 drives the multiple third locking assemblies 613 to rotate forward, so that one side of the limit assembly 612 can be rotated to fit into the avoidance position 13 and abut against the universal wheel group of the hatching egg trolley 3, so as to limit the hatching egg trolley 3 from moving toward the rear door side of the incubator body 1; After the hatching is completed, the second moving assembly 422 drives the first moving assembly 421 and the power module 41 to rise vertically to a predetermined height. During the rising process of the first moving assembly 421, the upper sliding plate 6221 is pushed up. During the rising process of the upper sliding plate 6221, the long connecting rod 6212 pulls the front end of the rotating rod 6211, so that the synchronous shaft 614 drives the multiple third locking assemblies 613 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that one side of the limit assembly 612 can rotate out of the avoidance position 13, so that the sliding of the hatching egg trolley 3 on the ground rail 12 is not hindered, and the hatching egg trolley 3 is pushed into the incubator 1 through the front door and pushed out from the rear door of the incubator 1.

[0047] In other embodiments, the second linkage module 62 can use an electronic control method to realize that the first moving component 421 controls the third locking module 61 to lock or unlock through the second linkage module 62. Specifically, the second linkage module 62 includes two sets of limit switches and a rotating motor. The two sets of limit switches are respectively fixed at the top and bottom of the lifting slide 4224. The rotating motor and the two sets of limit switches are connected by electrical signals through the PLC control unit, and the rotating motor is used to drive the synchronous shaft 614 to rotate; when the second moving component 422 drives the first moving component 421 and the power module 41 to move to a predetermined position, the first moving component 421 triggers the limit switch, and the limit switch controls the rotating motor to drive the synchronous shaft 614 to rotate forward / reverse through the PLC control unit, thereby realizing that the first moving component 421 controls the third locking module 61 to lock or unlock through the second linkage module 62. It can be seen that there are multiple implementation methods of the second linkage module 62. The core concept is that when the first moving component 421 moves to a predetermined position, the first moving component 421 controls the third locking module 61 to lock or unlock through the second linkage module 62. For the convenience of reading and review, two preferred embodiments of the present application are listed here. This does not limit the scope of protection of the present application. Any equivalent changes made based on the structure / shape / principle of the second linkage module 62 should be covered within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 、 3, 4, 12. In the present embodiment, the mobile module 42 is further provided with a guide structure. Specifically, the mounting platform 4211 of the first mobile component 421 of the mobile module 42 is fixedly provided with a first guide component 71. The top and bottom of the first guide component 71 are hingedly provided with a second guide component 72. The first guide component 71 and the two groups of second guide components 72 are all guide plates with flat-plate structures, and the first guide component 71 and the two groups of second guide components 72 are all provided with guide holes for air to pass through, so that the hinged setting of the two groups of second guide components 72 can be expanded to form a guide structure with the first guide component 71, and can also be relatively movable and contracted with the first guide component 71. A third linkage module 73 is provided between the second guide assembly 72 and the power module 41, and when the power module 41 moves to a predetermined position, the power module 41 controls the second guide assembly 72 to fold or unfold through the third linkage module 73; the third linkage module 73 specifically includes a third linkage assembly 731 and a third control assembly 732, wherein the third control assembly 732 is a square tube structure, and the third control assembly 732 is fixedly provided on the mounting plate of the power module 41, so that the third control assembly 732 and the power module 41 can be driven by the first moving assembly 421 along the extension direction of the ground rail 12 (towards / away from the incubator) The egg-making trolley 3 moves, the third linkage assembly 731 is a connecting rod structure, and the third linkage assembly 731 is provided with two groups, and the two groups of third linkage assemblies 731 are respectively hingedly arranged between the two groups of second guide assemblies 72 and the third control assembly 732, and when the power module 41 moves to a predetermined position, the third control assembly 732 can control the second guide assembly 72 to rotate through the third linkage assembly 731, so that the second guide assembly 72 rotates to be arranged coplanar with the first guide assembly 71 to form a guide structure, and can also rotate the second guide assembly 72 to be arranged perpendicular to the first guide assembly 71 to form a folding structure.Before incubation begins, the first moving assembly 421 controls the power module 41 to move toward the hatching trolley 3 to a predetermined position. During this movement, the power module 41 drives the third control assembly 732 to move synchronously. During this movement, the third control assembly 732 controls the second flow guide assembly 72 to expand via the third linkage assembly 731, thereby forming a flow guide structure. Under the sealing effect of the flow guide structure, the airflow inside the incubation chamber 1 is more balanced, reducing the differences in heat and water vapor exposed to fertilized eggs at various locations within the incubation chamber 1, thereby achieving a uniform hatch rate at various locations within the incubation chamber 1. After incubation ends, the first moving assembly 421 controls the power module 41 to move away from the hatching trolley 3 to a predetermined position. During this movement, the power module 41 drives the third control assembly 732 to move synchronously. During this movement, the third control assembly 732 controls the second flow guide assembly 72 to fold via the third linkage assembly 731, thereby forming a folded structure. This reduces the volume of the flow guide structure and facilitates its movement, driven by the second moving assembly 422, to a position where it does not obstruct the hatching trolley 3 from being ejected from the rear door of the incubation chamber 1.

[0049] In other embodiments, the third linkage module 73 can be electrically controlled to enable the power module 41 to control the second guide assembly 72 to fold or unfold through the third linkage module 73. Specifically, the third linkage module 73 includes two sets of travel switches, a rotating motor, a screw rod, a nut seat and a folding rod. The two sets of travel switches can be fixedly set at the two ends of the propulsion slide rail 4214 of the first moving assembly 421, the screw rod is rotatably set on the mounting platform 4211 of the first moving assembly 421, the nut seat is threadedly connected to the screw rod, and the two ends of the folding rod are respectively hingedly set at the nut seat and the second guide assembly 72, the rotating motor and the two sets of limit switches are connected by electrical signals via the PLC control unit, and the rotating motor is used to drive the screw to rotate; when the power module 41 moves to the predetermined position, the power module 41 triggers the limit switch, which controls the operation of the rotating motor through the PLC control unit to drive the screw to rotate forward / reverse, driving the movement of the nut seat, thereby pushing the second guide assembly 72 to expand or pulling the second guide assembly 72 to fold through the folding rod, thereby achieving the power module 41 controlling the second guide assembly 72 to fold or expand through the third linkage module 73. It can be seen that there are many implementation methods of the third linkage module 73, and its core concept is that when the power module 41 moves to the predetermined position, the power module 41 controls the second guide assembly 72 to fold or expand through the third linkage module 73. For the sake of ease of reading and review, two preferred embodiments of the present application are listed here, and the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereby. All equivalent changes made based on the structure / shape / principle of the third linkage module 73 should be included within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0050] Implementation principle:

[0051] Before hatching begins:

[0052] S1, the second moving assembly 422 drives the first moving assembly 421 and the power module 41 to descend vertically to a predetermined height. During this process, the first moving assembly 421 controls the third locking module 61 via the second linkage module 62 to lock the hatching trolley 3, thereby restricting the hatching trolley 3 from moving toward the rear door of the incubator 1.

[0053] S2. Multiple hatching trolleys 3 are sequentially pushed into the predetermined positions along the floor rails 12 from the front door of the incubator 1. The universal wheels of the first hatching trolley 3 are restrained by the third locking module 61 and cannot be moved toward the rear door of the incubator 1. Adjacent hatching trolleys 3 are locked together by the first locking module 51.

[0054] S3: The first moving assembly 421 drives the power module 41 to move to a predetermined position in a direction close to the hatching trolley 3. During this process, the power module 41 controls the second locking assembly 52 via the first linkage assembly 53 to rotate, causing the second locking assembly 52 to rotate until it engages and locks with the first locking assembly 51 of the first hatching trolley 3. Simultaneously, the power module 41 controls the second air guide assembly 72 via the third linkage assembly 73 to expand, thereby making the airflow inside the incubation box 1 more balanced.

[0055] During incubation:

[0056] S4, the hatching system 2 creates an incubation structure for incubating conditions for oviparous animals. At the same time, the power module 41 is connected to the incubation trolley 3 so that the fertilized eggs loaded on the incubation trolley 3 can be turned over according to a predetermined rule under the drive of the power module 41 to reduce the occurrence of embryo adhesion;

[0057] After the hatching:

[0058] S5: The first moving assembly 421 drives the power module 41 to move away from the hatching trolley 3 to a predetermined position. During this process, the power module 41 controls the second locking assembly 52 via the first linkage assembly 53 to rotate, so that the second locking assembly 52 rotates to separate from and unlock the first locking assembly 51 of the first hatching trolley 3. Simultaneously, the power module 41 controls the second flow guide assembly 72 via the third linkage assembly 73 to condense, thereby reducing the volume of the flow guide structure.

[0059] S6: The second moving assembly 422 drives the first moving assembly 421 and the power module 41 to rise vertically to a predetermined height. During this process, the first moving assembly 421 controls the third locking module 61 via the second linkage module 62 to unlock the hatching trolley 3, so that the hatching trolley 3 can slide along the floor rail 12 toward the rear door of the hatching box 1 without hindrance.

[0060] S7: The worker enters the incubator 1 from the rear door side, unlocks two adjacent hatching trolleys 3 by using any one group of unlocking components 513 of the first locking module 51, and moves the incubator 1 toward the rear door side of the incubator 1, so that the hatching trolleys 3 are pushed in from the front door of the incubator 1 and pushed out from the rear door of the incubator 1.

[0061] Thus, the limitation of the existing incubator that the hatching egg trolley 3 can only be pushed into and pushed out of the incubation box 1 from the front door side is solved. When the hatching egg trolley 3 faces structural limitations or space limitations, the hatching egg trolley 3 can be pushed into and pushed out of the incubation box 1 from the front door side.

[0062] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the scope of protection of the present application.
