[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-13 This application will be described in further detail.
[0033] In existing incubators, the incubator typically includes an incubation chamber 10, an incubation system 20, an egg cart 30, a transmission module 40, and a power system 50. The incubation system 20 is located inside the incubation chamber 10 and includes incubation structures such as an airflow module, a temperature module, and a humidity module to create incubation conditions for oviparous animals. The incubation chamber 10 has multiple sets of ground rails 92, and the universal wheels of the egg cart 30 are slidably mounted on the ground rails 92 of the incubation chamber 10. The power system 50 is located inside the incubation chamber 10, and a transmission module 40 is provided between the power module 50 and the egg cart 30, so that the fertilized eggs loaded on the egg cart 30 can be rotated according to a predetermined pattern under the drive of the power system 50 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 existing technologies. For details, please refer to the flip transmission structure, incubation egg cart 30 and incubator disclosed in the authorization announcement No. CN116420654B filed by the applicant in 2023. It will not be elaborated here.
[0034] This application discloses an incubator power system.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 The incubator's power system includes a power module 51 and a movement module 52. The power module 51 consists of multiple drive motors, each corresponding to a set of ground rails 92, and fixedly connected via motor mounting plates. This allows the multiple drive motors to connect with multiple incubation egg carts 30, thus forming a power source. In other embodiments, a single motor with multiple output terminals can also be used. For details, refer to the rotating docking structure disclosed in the applicant's 2019 patent application (CN210168747U), which will not be elaborated here. Therefore, the power module 51 has multiple implementation methods. Its core concept lies in the power module 51's connection with the incubation egg carts 30 and its provision of a power source. For ease of reading and review, two preferred embodiments are listed here, but this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent changes made based on the structure / shape / principle of the power module 51 should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
[0036] In this embodiment, the incubation box 10 is hinged with doors 91 on both the front and rear sides along the extension direction of its ground rail 92, so that the incubation box 10 can be pushed in / out by the incubation egg cart 30 on both the front and rear sides; for ease of explanation, the two sets of doors 91 are named the front door and the rear door respectively.
[0037] In this embodiment, the moving module 52 includes an X-moving component 521 and a Z-moving component 522; wherein, the power module 51 is disposed on the X-moving component 521, and the X-moving component 521 is used to drive and adjust the position of the power module 51. The X-moving component 521 specifically includes a mounting platform 5211, a push screw 5212, and a push motor 5213. The mounting platform 5211 is fixedly provided with a push slide rail 5214 arranged parallel to the ground rail 92. The power system 50 is slidably disposed on the push slide rail 5214. The push screw 5212 is rotatably disposed on the mounting platform 5211. The power module 51 is threadedly connected to the push screw 5212, and the push motor 5213 is fixedly disposed on the ground rail 92. The Z-moving component 522 is specifically set on the installation platform 5211 and is used to drive the push screw 5212 to rotate; the Z-moving component 522 specifically includes the installation column 5221, the lifting screw 5222, and the lifting motor 5223. The installation column 5221 is fixedly set on the rear door side of the incubator 10. The installation column 5221 is fixedly set with a vertically arranged lifting slide rail 5224. The installation platform 5211 is slidably set on the lifting slide rail 5224. The lifting screw 5222 is rotatably set on the installation column 5221. The installation platform 5211 is threadedly connected to the lifting screw 5222. The lifting motor 5223 is fixedly set on the installation column 5221 and is used to drive the lifting screw 5222 to rotate. During operation, the X-moving component 521 can control the power module 51 to move along the extension direction of the ground rail 92 (towards / away from the hatching egg cart 30), thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the power module 51. During operation, the Z-moving component 522 can control the power module 51 to move vertically, thereby adjusting the height of both the X-moving component 521 and the power module 51. When the hatching egg cart 30 faces structural or space constraints (e.g., the omnidirectional wheels of the hatching egg cart 30 are prone to wobbling and friction with the ground rail 92, making it difficult to move backward along the ground rail 92), Or, for example, if the incubation site is linear, making it inconvenient for the incubation egg cart 30 to be pushed out through the front door of the incubation box 10, the X-moving component 521 and the Z-moving component 522 work together to move and adjust the power module 51 and other structures of the incubator so as not to obstruct the incubation egg cart 30 from being pushed out from the rear door of the incubation box 10. This allows the incubation egg cart 30 to be pushed in through the front door of the incubation box 10 and pushed out through the rear door of the incubation box 10. This is suitable for scenarios with limited structure or space, and is more practical.
[0038] In other embodiments, the moving module 52 can directly drive the power module 51 to move a sufficiently far position along the extension direction of the ground rail 92 (away from the direction of the incubation egg cart 30), so that the power module 51 and other structures of the incubator can be moved and adjusted so as not to obstruct the incubation egg cart 30 from being pushed out from the rear door side of the incubation box 10. Specifically, a linear drive structure (e.g., linear motor / motor screw / cylinder / hydraulic cylinder, etc.) can be set on the top of the incubation box 10 as the moving module 52, and the power module 51 is fixedly set on the moving end of the linear drive structure. A pulley structure that is easy to move can also be set at the bottom of the power module 51. The linear drive structure drives the moving module 52 to move a sufficiently far position along the extension direction of the ground rail 92 (away from the direction of the incubation egg cart 30), so that the power module 51 can be moved and adjusted so as not to obstruct the incubation egg cart 30 from being pushed out from the rear door side of the incubation box 10. This also enables the incubation egg cart 30 to be pushed in from the front door of the incubation box 10 and pushed out from the rear door of the incubation box 10. In other embodiments, the moving module 52 can also directly drive the power module 51 to a sufficiently high position in the vertical direction, so that the power module 51 and other structures of the incubator can be moved and adjusted so as not to obstruct the hatching egg cart 30 from being pushed out from the rear door side of the incubation box 10. This also allows the hatching egg cart 30 to be pushed in through the front door of the incubation box 10 and pushed out through the rear door. Therefore, the moving module 52 has multiple implementations. Its core concept is that the moving module 52 drives and adjusts the position of the power module 51 so that the hatching egg cart 30 can be pushed out from the rear door side of the incubation box 10 without obstruction. For ease of reading and review, two preferred embodiments of this application are listed here, but this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent changes made based on the structure / shape / principle of the moving module 52 should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
[0039] In this embodiment, the incubation egg cart 30 is equipped with an S-locking module 61 that is fitted at both ends, and the moving module 52 is equipped with a D-locking module 62 that is fitted with the S-locking module 61. The S-locking module 61 includes an S-locking component 611, an elastic component 612, and two sets of S-unlocking components 613. The S-locking component 611 includes a linkage rod group 6111 and two sets of locking hooks 6112. The two sets of locking hooks 6112 have a J-shaped cross-section, with the hook portions of the two sets of J-shaped locking hooks 6112 facing each other, and the two sets of J-shaped locking hooks 6112 are respectively hinged to the incubation egg cart. The front and rear sides of the hatching cart 30 are designed so that two adjacent hatching carts 30 can be locked together by locking hooks 6112; the two ends of the linkage rod group 6111 are respectively hinged to the two sets of locking hooks 6112 so that the locking hooks 6112 on the front and rear sides of the hatching cart 30 are linked together; the elastic component 612 is a tension spring, which is connected between the hatching cart 30 and the rear locking hook 6112, or between the hatching cart 30 and the rear locking hook 6112, so that the corresponding locking hook 6112 always has the tendency to rotate to engage with the other locking hook 6112. In other embodiments, the elastic component 612 can also be a torsion spring; the two sets of S-unlocking components 613 are unlocking grips, located on the front and rear sides of the incubation egg cart 30 respectively, and below the two sets of locking hooks 6112 respectively. The bottom of each S-unlocking component 613 is hinged to the incubation egg cart 30, and the top of each S-unlocking component 613 is hinged to the linkage rod group 6111. When the incubation egg cart 30 is pushed in through the front door of the incubation box 10 and pushed out through the rear door of the incubation box 10, the operator needs to lock two adjacent incubation egg carts 30 on the side near the front door of the incubation box 10, and unlock two adjacent incubation egg carts 30 on the side near the rear door of the incubation box 10. Regardless of whether standing on the front or rear side of the incubation egg cart 30, the operator can grip the S-unlocking component 613 on that side to lock / unlock two adjacent incubation egg carts 30, realizing the function of dual-side unlocking / locking. The D locking module 62 includes a locking hook 6112, which also has a J-shaped cross-section. The end of the D locking module 62 is hinged to the mounting platform 5211 of the X moving component 521. The locking hook 6112 of the D locking module 62 and the locking hook 6112 of the S locking module 61 can also be engaged with each other to form a locking engagement.
[0040] Before incubation begins, the incubation egg cart 30 is pushed into the predetermined position along the ground rail 92 from the front door of the incubation box 10. The first incubation egg cart 30 is locked by the S locking module 61 and the D locking module 62. The two adjacent incubation egg carts 30 are locked by the head and tail locking of the S locking module 61. During incubation, the incubation system 20 creates oviparous animal incubation conditions inside the incubation box 10. The power module 51 is connected to the incubation egg cart 30 to provide power, so that the incubation egg cart 30 flips the fertilized eggs according to a predetermined pattern to reduce the occurrence of embryo adhesion. After incubation, the power module 51 and other structures of the incubator are moved and adjusted by the moving module 52 so that the incubation egg cart 30 is not obstructed from being pushed out from the rear door of the incubation box 10. This allows the incubation egg cart 30 to be pushed in from the front door and pushed out from the rear door of the incubation box 10, which is suitable for scenarios with limited structure or space, and has higher practicality.
[0041] In other embodiments, the incubation cart 30 can also adopt a single-sided unlocking method. For details, please refer to the locking structure of the incubation cart 30 disclosed in the patent application CN219373484U filed by the applicant in 2023. It will not be elaborated here, but it is worth mentioning that operating space needs to be left between the multiple ground rails 92 so that workers can reach the side with the unlocking handle to lock / unlock. Therefore, the S-locking module 61 and D-locking module 62 have multiple implementation methods. Their core concept lies in the locking / unlocking between the first incubation cart 30 and the power system 50, and between two adjacent incubation carts 30. For ease of reading and review, two preferred embodiments of this application are listed here, but this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent changes made based on the structure / shape / principle of the S-locking module 61 and D-locking module 62 should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
[0042] In this embodiment, an A linkage module 63 is provided between the D locking module 62 and the power module 51. When the power module 51 moves to a predetermined position, the power module 51 controls the D locking module 62 to lock / unlock via the A linkage module 63. The A linkage module 63 specifically includes an A linkage component 631 and an A control component 632. The A control component 632 has a square tube structure and is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate of the power module 51, so that the A control component 632 and the power module 51 can move along the ground track under the drive of the X moving component 521. The extension direction (towards / away from the incubation egg cart 30) is 92. The A linkage component 631 is a linkage structure. One end of the A linkage component 631 is hinged to the A control component 632, and the other end of the A linkage component 631 is hinged to the D locking module 62. When the power module 51 moves to the predetermined position, the A control component 632 can control the D locking module 62 to rotate through the A linkage component 631, so that the D locking module 62 rotates to engage / disengage with the S locking module 61, thereby realizing the locking / unlocking of the S locking module 61 and the D locking module 62.
[0043] In other embodiments, the A linkage module 63 can use a combination of a tilting slider and a tilting rail to control the rotation of the D locking module 62. Specifically, the D locking module 62 is hinged in the middle to the mounting platform 5211 of the X moving component 521. The A linkage module 63 includes a tilting slider and a tilting rail. The tilting slider is hinged at the end of the D locking module 62 away from the S locking module 61, and the tilting rail is fixedly mounted on the power module 51. This allows the tilting rail and the power module 51 to move along the extension direction of the ground rail 92 (towards / away from the incubation egg cart 30) under the drive of the X moving component 521. The tilting slider is slidably mounted on the tilting rail. When the tilting rail and the power module 51 move along the extension direction of the ground rail 92 (towards / away from the incubation egg cart 30), the tilting slider slides along the tilting rail, and the height of the tilting slider changes, thereby enabling the D locking module 62 to rotate. As can be seen, the A linkage module 63 has multiple implementation methods. Its core concept is that the D locking module 62 is controlled by the A linkage module 63 to lock / unlock during the movement of the power module 51. For ease of reading and review, two preferred embodiments of this application are listed here, but this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent changes made based on the structure / shape / principle of the A linkage module 63 should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
[0044] In this embodiment, the transmission module 40 specifically includes a female transmission connector 41 and a male transmission connector 42; wherein, both the female transmission connector 41 and the male transmission connector 42 are arranged parallel to the ground rail 92, the female transmission connector 41 is fixedly installed at the output end of the power module 51, and the male transmission connector 42 is fixedly installed at the input end of the incubation egg cart 30, and the female transmission connector 41 and the male transmission connector 42 are mated and adapted; the transmission module 40 can be specifically referred to the flip transmission structure, incubation egg cart 30 and incubator disclosed by the applicant in 2023 with authorization announcement number CN116420654B, which will not be described in detail here.
[0045] During the process of the X-moving component 521 driving the power module 51 to move towards the predetermined position along the direction close to the incubation egg cart 30, the female transmission joint 41 and the male transmission joint 42 are connected to each other to realize the power transmission between the power module 51 and the incubation egg cart 30; conversely, during the process of the X-moving component 521 driving the power module 51 to move towards the incubation egg cart 30, the female transmission joint 41 and the male transmission joint 42 are separated to realize the connection and separation between the power module 51 and the incubation egg cart 30.
[0046] In this embodiment, a G-locking module 71 is provided on the side of the ground track 92 near the rear door of the incubation box 10. The G-locking module 71 is engaged with the universal wheel assembly of the incubation egg cart 30 to restrict the movement of the incubation egg cart 30 towards the rear door of the incubation box 10. The G-locking module 71 specifically includes an installation component 711, a limiting component 712, and a G-locking component 713. During the sliding of the incubation egg cart 30 along the ground track 92, the G-locking component 713 controls the limiting component 712 to engage or disengage from the avoidance position 93. A clearance position 93 is provided at the bottom, which is a square through hole. The mounting component 711 is fixedly mounted on the ground rail 92. The mounting component 711 is a hollow rectangular structure with an open top, and it is positioned below the clearance position 93 on the ground rail 92 to provide a mounting base for the limiting component 712 and the G-locking component 713. The limiting component 712 has a triangular cross-section, and one corner of the limiting component 712 is rotatably mounted on the mounting component 711, so that the other side of the limiting component 712 can rotate during rotation. The G-locking component 713 is a cam structure, rotatably mounted on the mounting component 711, and located below the limiting component 712. Before incubation begins, when the incubation egg cart 30 is pushed into the predetermined position along the ground rail 92 from the front door of the incubation box 10, the G-locking component 713 slides against the outer periphery of the limiting component 712 during its forward rotation, allowing one side of the limiting component 712 to rotate and engage with the clearance position 93, so that the limiting component 712 abuts against the universal wheel assembly of the incubation egg cart 30. Next, the incubation egg cart 30 is restricted from moving towards the rear door of the incubation box 10. After incubation, the G locking component 713 disengages from the outer periphery of the limiting component 712 during reverse rotation, allowing one side of the limiting component 712 to rotate out of the avoidance position 93 under its own gravity. This ensures that the incubation egg cart 30 is not obstructed from being pushed out from the rear door of the incubation box 10. Thus, the incubation egg cart 30 is pushed in through the front door of the incubation box 10 and pushed out through the rear door of the incubation box 10. This is suitable for scenarios with limited structure or space, and has higher practicality.
[0047] It is worth mentioning that multiple G-locking components 713 between multiple ground rails 92 are coaxially connected by a synchronous shaft 714, which can drive all G-locking components 713 to rotate.
[0048] In other embodiments, the G-locking module 71 can be electrically controlled to insert or retract the avoidance position 93, for example, by controlling the limit block to insert or retract the avoidance position 93 through a cylinder piston rod, etc. This allows the avoidance position 93 to be inserted before incubation begins, restricting the incubation egg cart 30 from moving towards the rear door of the incubation box 10, and to retract the avoidance position 93 after incubation ends, ensuring the incubation egg cart 30 is not obstructed from being pushed out of the rear door of the incubation box 10. Therefore, the G-locking module 71 has multiple implementations. Its core concept is to switch between restricting the movement of the incubation egg cart 30 and preventing obstruction of its movement according to the needs of the scenario. For ease of reading and review, two preferred embodiments of this application are listed here, but this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent changes made based on the structure / shape / principle of the G-locking module 71 should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
[0049] In this embodiment, a B linkage module 72 is provided between the G locking module 71 and the moving module 52. When the X moving component 521 moves to a predetermined position, the X moving component 521 controls the G locking module 71 to lock or unlock via the B linkage module 72. The B linkage module 72 specifically includes a B linkage component 721 and a B control component 722. The B control component 722 includes an upper sliding plate 7221 and a lower sliding plate 7222. Both the upper sliding plate 7221 and the lower sliding plate 7222 are slidably disposed on the lifting rail 5224. The mounting platform 5211 of the X moving component 521 is also slidably disposed on the lifting rail 5224. The upper sliding plate 7221 and the lower sliding plate 7222 are respectively located on the X moving component 521. Above and below; the B linkage component 721 includes a rotating rod 7211, a long connecting rod 7212, a short connecting rod 7213, and a pry bar 7214. The rotating rod 7211 is a square tube structure, and the middle part of the rotating rod 7211 is fixedly set on the synchronous shaft 714, so that the rotating rod 7211 can drive all the G locking components 713 to rotate through the synchronous shaft 714. The two ends of the long connecting rod 7212 are respectively hinged between the upper sliding plate 7221 and the front end of the rotating rod 7211. The middle part of the pry bar 7214 is rotatably set on the mounting column 5221. The front end of the pry bar 7214 is provided with a pulley that abuts against the bottom of the lower sliding plate 7222. The two ends of the short connecting rod 7213 are respectively hinged between the tail end of the pry bar 7214 and the tail end of the rotating rod 7211. Before incubation begins, the Z-moving component 522 drives the X-moving component 521 and the power module 51 to descend vertically to a predetermined height. During the descent of the X-moving component 521, it pushes the lower sliding plate 7222 to descend. During the descent of the lower sliding plate 7222, it pulls the tail end of the rotating rod 7211 through the pry bar 7214 and the short connecting rod 7213, causing the synchronous shaft 714 to drive multiple G-locking components 713 to rotate in the forward direction. This allows one side of the limiting component 712 to rotate and embed into the avoidance position 93 and abut against the universal wheel set of the incubation egg cart 30, thereby restricting the movement of the incubation egg cart 30 towards the rear door of the incubation box 10. After the process is completed, the Z-moving component 522 drives the X-moving component 521 and the power module 51 to rise vertically to the predetermined height. During the rise of the X-moving component 521, the upper sliding plate 7221 is pushed to rise. During the rise of the upper sliding plate 7221, the front end of the rotating rod 7211 is pulled by the long connecting rod 7212, so that the synchronous shaft 714 drives multiple G-locking components 713 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that one side of the limit component 712 can rotate out of the avoidance position 93, so that the incubation egg cart 30 slides on the ground rail 92 without obstruction, and the incubation egg cart 30 is pushed in through the front door of the incubation box 10 and pushed out through the rear door of the incubation box 10.
[0050] In other embodiments, the B linkage module 72 can be electrically controlled to enable the X moving component 521 to control the G locking module 71 for locking or unlocking. Specifically, the B linkage module 72 includes two sets of limit switches and a rotary motor. The two sets of limit switches are fixedly installed at the top and bottom of the lifting slide rail 5224, respectively. The rotary motor and the two sets of limit switches are electrically connected through a PLC control unit, and the rotary motor is used to drive the synchronous shaft 714 to rotate. When the Z moving component 522 moves the X moving component 521 and the power module 51 to a predetermined position, the X moving component 521 triggers the limit switches. The limit switches control the rotary motor through the PLC control unit to drive the synchronous shaft 714 to rotate forward / reverse, thereby enabling the X moving component 521 to control the G locking module 71 for locking or unlocking through the B linkage module 72. Therefore, the B linkage module 72 can be implemented in various ways. Its core concept is that when the X moving component 521 moves to a predetermined position, the X moving component 521 controls the G locking module 71 to lock or unlock through the B linkage module 72. For ease of reading and review, two preferred embodiments of this application are listed here, but this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent changes made based on the structure / shape / principle of the B linkage module 72 should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
[0051] In this embodiment, the moving module 52 is further provided with a flow guiding module 8, which includes a G flow guiding component 81 and an H flow guiding component 82. Specifically, the mounting platform 5211 of the X moving component 521 of the moving module 52 is fixedly provided with a G flow guiding component 81. The top and bottom of the G flow guiding component 81 are hinged with H flow guiding components 82. The G flow guiding component 81 and the two sets of H flow guiding components 82 are both flat flow guiding plates, so that the hinged arrangement of the two sets of H flow guiding components 82 can be expanded to form a flow guiding structure with the G flow guiding component 81, and can also be retracted relative to the G flow guiding component 81. A C-linkage module 83 is provided between the H-guide component 82 and the power module 51. When the power module 51 moves to a predetermined position, the power module 51 controls the H-guide component 82 to retract or expand via the C-linkage module 83. The C-linkage module 83 specifically includes a C-linkage component 831 and a C-control component 832. The C-control component 832 is a square tube structure and is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate of the power module 51, so that the C-control component 832 and the power module 51 can extend along the direction of the ground rail 92 (approaching / moving away from the incubator) under the drive of the X-moving component 521. The egg-melting cart moves in the 30 direction. The C linkage component 831 is a linkage structure. There are two sets of C linkage components 831, and the two sets of C linkage components 831 are respectively hinged between the two sets of H flow guide components 82 and C control component 832. When the power module 51 moves to the predetermined position, the C control component 832 can control the H flow guide component 82 to rotate through the C linkage component 831, so that the H flow guide component 82 rotates to be arranged in the same plane as the G flow guide component 81 to form a flow guide structure. It can also rotate the H flow guide component 82 to be arranged perpendicular to the G flow guide component 81 to form a folding structure. Before incubation begins, when the X-moving component 521 controls the power module 51 to move to the predetermined position along the direction close to the incubation egg cart 30, the power module 51 drives the C-control component 832 to move synchronously. During the movement of the C-control component 832, the H-guide component 82 is deployed through the C-linkage component 831, thereby forming a guide structure. Under the sealing effect of the guide structure, the airflow inside the incubation box 10 is more balanced, and the differences in heat and water vapor contacted by fertilized eggs in different positions inside the incubation box 10 are reduced, thus making the incubation box more stable. The hatching rate is balanced in all positions inside the body 10. After hatching, when the X moving component 521 controls the power module 51 to move to the predetermined position in the direction away from the hatching egg cart 30, the power module 51 drives the C control component 832 to move synchronously during the movement. During the movement, the C control component 832 controls the H flow guiding component 82 to shrink through the C linkage component 831, thereby forming a folded structure, reducing the space volume of the flow guiding structure, and making it easy to move under the drive of the Z moving component 522 to a position that does not obstruct the hatching egg cart 30 from being pushed out from the rear door side of the hatching box 10.
[0052] In other embodiments, the C-linkage module 83 can be electrically controlled to enable the power module 51 to control the H-guide assembly 82 to retract or expand. Specifically, the C-linkage module 83 includes two sets of limit switches, a rotary motor, a lead screw, a nut seat, and a folding rod. The two sets of limit switches can be fixedly mounted at both ends of the push rail 5214 of the X-moving assembly 521. The lead screw is rotatably mounted on the mounting platform 5211 of the X-moving assembly 521. The nut seat is threadedly connected to the lead screw. The two ends of the folding rod are respectively hinged to the nut seat and the H-guide assembly 82. 2. The rotary motor and the two sets of limit switches are electrically connected via a PLC control unit, and the rotary motor drives the lead screw to rotate. When the power module 51 moves to the predetermined position, the power module 51 triggers the limit switches. The limit switches control the rotary motor via the PLC control unit to drive the lead screw to rotate forward / reverse, thereby moving the nut seat. This allows the H-guide component 82 to be expanded or contracted by the folding rod, thus enabling the power module 51 to control the H-guide component 82 to contract or expand via the C-linkage module 83. Therefore, the C-linkage module 83 can be implemented in various ways. The core concept is that when the power module 51 moves to the predetermined position, the power module 51 controls the H-guide component 82 to contract or expand via the C-linkage module 83. For ease of reading and review, two preferred embodiments of this application are listed here, but this is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent changes made based on the structure / shape / principle of the C-linkage module 83 should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
[0053] Implementation principle:
[0054] Before incubation begins:
[0055] S1 and Z moving components 522 drive X moving components 521 and power module 51 to descend vertically to a predetermined height. During this process, X moving components 521 control G locking module 71 through B linkage module 72 to lock, thereby restricting the incubation egg cart 30 from moving to the rear door side of the incubation box 10.
[0056] S2. Multiple hatching egg carts 30 are pushed sequentially from the front door of the hatching box 10 along the ground rail 92 to the predetermined position. The omnidirectional wheel set of the first hatching egg cart 30 is restricted by the G locking module 71 and cannot move to the rear door side of the hatching box 10. The two adjacent hatching egg carts 30 are locked together by the head and tail locking of the S locking module 61.
[0057] S3 and X moving components 521 drive the power module 51 to move to the predetermined position along the direction close to the incubation egg cart 30. During this process, the female transmission joint 41 and the male transmission joint 42 are connected to each other to realize the power transmission between the power module 51 and the incubation egg cart 30. At the same time, the power module 51 controls the D locking module 62 to rotate through the A linkage module 63, so that the D locking module 62 rotates to lock with the S locking module 61 of the first incubation egg cart 30. At the same time, the power module 51 controls the H flow guiding component 82 to unfold through the C linkage module 83, so that the airflow inside the incubation box 10 is more balanced.
[0058] During the incubation process:
[0059] S4. The incubation system 20 creates an incubation structure that provides incubation conditions for oviparous animals. Simultaneously, the power module 51 and the incubation egg cart 30 are connected by a transmission, so that the fertilized eggs loaded in the incubation egg cart 30 can be turned over according to a predetermined pattern under the drive of the power module 51, in order to reduce the occurrence of embryo adhesion.
[0060] After incubation:
[0061] S5 and X moving components 521 drive the power module 51 to move to a predetermined position in a direction away from the incubation egg cart 30. During this process, the female transmission joint 41 and the male transmission joint 42 separate, realizing the docking and separation between the power module 51 and the incubation egg cart 30. At the same time, the power module 51 controls the D locking module 62 to rotate through the A linkage module 63, so that the D locking module 62 rotates to separate and unlock from the S locking module 61 of the first incubation egg cart 30. At the same time, the power module 51 controls the H flow guiding component 82 to shrink through the C linkage module 83, reducing the spatial volume of the flow guiding structure.
[0062] S6 and Z moving components 522 drive X moving components 521 and power module 51 to rise vertically to a predetermined height. During this process, X moving components 521 control G locking module 71 to unlock through B linkage module 72, so that the hatching egg cart 30 slides on the ground rail 92 toward the rear door side of the hatching box 10 without obstruction.
[0063] S7. The worker enters from the rear door of the incubation box 10 and unlocks the two adjacent incubation egg carts 30 by any set of unlocking components of the S locking module 61. The worker then moves the incubation box 10 towards the rear door, thus enabling the incubation egg carts 30 to be pushed in through the front door and pushed out through the rear door of the incubation box 10.
[0064] This solves the limitation of existing incubators that can only push the hatching egg cart 30 in from the front door of the incubation box 10 and push it out from the front door of the incubation box 10. When the hatching egg cart 30 is subject to structural or site constraints, it can be pushed in from the front door of the incubation box 10 and pushed out from the rear door of the incubation box 10.
[0065] The embodiments described herein are preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape, and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
