[0024] Embodiment 1:

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the infant incubator of this embodiment includes a culture platform 1, a cover 2, an inner clamping member 3, an outer clamping member 4 and a translation mechanism 5.

[0026] Among them, the culture platform 1 is used to hold the baby. A lifting frame 10 is arranged at the lower end of the culture platform 1. Generally, the lifting frame 10 may include an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder arranged outside the inner cylinder. The upper end of the outer cylinder is connected to the lower end of the culture platform 1. The culture platform 1 is lifted and lowered by moving the outer cylinder up and down to meet the different height requirements of different caregivers.

[0027] The inner clamping piece 3 is fixedly set at the upper end of the culture platform 1. The inner clamping piece 3 can be integrally formed with the culture platform 1. The inner clamping piece 3 is set to be annular in shape, and the outer contour of its cross section is the same as the inner contour of the cross section of the box cover 2. The box cover 2 is set at the upper end of the culture platform 1, and the box cover 2 covers the outer side of the inner clamping piece 3, so that the inner clamping piece 3 generates an outward supporting force on the inner wall of the box cover 2.

[0028] The outer clamping member 4 is arranged at the upper end of the culture platform 1 and is located on the outside of the box cover 2. The outer clamping member 4 is a movable component. Its length is the same as the width of the outer side of the box cover 2, so as to evenly apply the clamping force and improve the clamping stability. A groove 6 for inserting into the box cover 2 is formed between it and the inner clamping member 3. Since the outer clamping member 4 is movable, the width of the groove 6 is variable. When the outer clamping member 4 is away from the inner clamping member 3, the groove 6 becomes wider, which is convenient for cleaning the inside of the groove 6 with a disinfectant cloth. It can be seen that by providing a groove 6 with a variable width, it is not only beneficial to improve the clamping stability but also has the advantage of being easy to clean and disinfect.

[0029] The box cover 2 can be in a rectangular shape, and the outer clamping member 4 and the translation mechanism 5 include at least two groups arranged at both ends of the box cover 2 in the length direction, so as to generate symmetrical clamping forces, and it is easy to stably fix the box cover 2. Through the above structure, the culture platform 1 and the box cover 2 form a living space for the baby. By servo-controlling the humidity and temperature in the space, a constant temperature and humidity environment and a clean and sterile living space can be provided for the growth and development of the baby. In addition, several operation ports 9 that penetrate the inside and outside can be provided on the box cover 2, so that the caregiver can put in both hands to perform care operations.

[0030] In this embodiment, in order to realize the movement of the outer clamping part 4, a translation mechanism 5 is provided at the upper end of the culture platform 1 so as to be connected with the outer clamping part 4. The translation mechanism 5 is used to drive the outer clamping part 4 to approach or move away from the inner clamping part 3, thereby loosening or clamping the box cover 2.

[0031] Specifically, the translation mechanism 5 includes a sleeve 51 , a sliding rod 53 and a spring 52 .

[0032] The sleeve 51 is fixed to the culture platform 1 , and there is a certain distance between the sleeve 51 and the side surface of the box cover 2 . The sleeve 51 can be welded and fixed to the upper end of the culture platform 1 .

[0033] The slide rod 53 is slidably disposed in the sleeve 51, and both ends of the slide rod 53 extend out of the sleeve 51 respectively. One end of the slide rod 53 is fixedly connected to the outer clamping member 4, and the other end of the slide rod 53 is provided with a handle 11, which is a straight rod, and a T-shaped structure is formed between the handle 11 and the slide rod 53.

[0034] The spring 52 is arranged in the sleeve 51, and the spring 52 is sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 53. An end cover can be arranged at one end of the sleeve 51, and the end cover is threadedly connected to the sleeve 51. The spring 52 can be easily loaded by opening the end cover, and a center hole is arranged on the end cover to facilitate the passage of the slide rod 53. A sliding sheet 531 is fixed on the slide rod 53. The diameter of the sliding sheet 531 is larger than the diameter of the slide rod 53 and can slide in the sleeve 51. When the slide rod 53 slides away from the inner clamping member 3, the sliding sheet 531 acts on the spring 52 to compress the spring 52.

[0035] In order to clamp the box cover 2 so that it cannot move in the vertical direction, a slot 7 is provided at the bottom of the outer clamping piece 4, and a side convex edge 8 is provided on the outer side of the bottom of the box cover 2. When the outer clamping piece 4 is pressed against the outer side of the box cover 2, the slot 7 cooperates with the side convex edge 8, thereby pressing the box cover 2 onto the culture platform 1.

[0036] By setting the above-mentioned translation mechanism 5, when the groove 6 needs to be cleaned, since the slide bar 53 is fixedly connected to the outer clamping member 4, the slide bar 53 can be pulled outward, and the spring 52 is compressed in the sleeve 51, and the slide bar 53 drives the outer clamping member 4 to move away from the inner clamping member 3, thereby loosening the box cover 2 and removing the box cover 2. Since the width of the groove 6 becomes larger, it is easier and more convenient to clean and disinfect, which is beneficial to provide a sterile environment for the baby.

[0037] When the slide rod 53 is released, under the action of the spring 52, the outer clamping member 4 can automatically approach the inner clamping member 3, thereby applying a horizontal force to the box cover 2, so that the box cover 2 is clamped between the outer clamping member 4 and the inner clamping member 3.

[0038] Embodiment 2:

[0039] like Figure 3 to Figure 5 As shown, some structures of this embodiment are the same as those of embodiment 1, with the difference being that the inner clamping member 3 is in the shape of a boss, and the outer contour of its cross section is the same as the inner contour of the cross section of the box cover 2. Thus, the inner clamping member 3 can also generate an outward supporting force on the inner wall of the box cover 2.

[0040] In addition, the translation mechanism 5 is also different from that in the first embodiment. In the present embodiment, the translation mechanism 5 includes a sleeve 51 , a screw rod 55 and a screw sleeve 54 .

[0041] The sleeve 51 is fixed to the culture platform 1 , and the screw rod 55 and the screw sleeve 54 are both arranged in the sleeve 51 .

[0042] One end of the screw sleeve 54 extends out of one end of the sleeve 51 and is fixedly connected to the outer clamping member 4 .

[0043] One end of the screw rod 55 extends out of the other end of the sleeve 51, and a handle 11 is provided on the end of the screw rod 55 extending out of the sleeve 51. The handle 11 is in the shape of a round wheel. The screw sleeve 54 is sleeved on the outside of the other end of the screw rod 55, and the screw sleeve 54 and the screw rod 55 are threadedly connected; an axial sliding bar 541 is provided on the outside of the screw sleeve 54, and an axial sliding groove 511 is provided on the inner side of the sleeve 51, and the sliding bar 541 can be slidably provided in the sliding groove 511.

[0044] By rotating the handle 11, the screw 55 is rotated, thereby driving the screw sleeve 54. Since a slide bar 541 is provided on the screw sleeve 54, and the slide bar 541 slides on the slide groove 511 in the sleeve 51, the screw sleeve 54 is extended or retracted in a straight line. Since one end of the screw sleeve 54 is fixedly connected to the outer clamping member 4, the outer clamping member 4 can be driven to move in a straight line through the linear movement of the screw sleeve 54, and the outer clamping member 4 can also be used to loosen or clamp the box cover 2, and it is convenient to clean and disinfect the groove 6.

[0045] Since the structure of the translation mechanism 5 is different from that of Example 1, when driving the outer clamping member 4 to approach the inner clamping member 3, the rotating handle 11 can gradually and slowly reduce the distance between the outer clamping member 4 and the inner clamping member 3, and the instantaneous force of clamping the box cover 2 is small. Therefore, the translation mechanism 5 in this embodiment also has the advantage of not easily generating noise.

[0046] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present invention, a variety of simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
