Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of incubators, and in particular to a neonatal incubator. Background Art
[0002] Neonatal incubators are usually heavy and require various pipes to be connected to regulate the temperature and humidity inside. Therefore, incubators are usually not movable. Therefore, when a newborn needs to be bathed, medical staff usually prefer to manually carry the newborn to the pool for washing. Usually, there are several incubators in a room, but only one or two pools. Therefore, there is usually a certain distance between the pool and the incubator. After bathing the baby, the baby's pores are dilated and there is residual moisture on the skin surface. The baby is very likely to catch a cold. Therefore, the baby needs to be placed in a comfortable environment in time to reduce contact with the outside world.
[0003] Therefore, a newborn incubator is needed that can prevent the newborn from contacting the outside world as much as possible after being cleaned. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a neonatal incubator, which can prevent the neonate from contacting the outside world as much as possible after being cleaned.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a neonatal incubator, comprising a fixed incubator and a transfer box, wherein a first slide rail is provided in the transfer box, a slide frame is slidably connected to the first slide rail, a support unit is supported on the slide frame, an edge of the support unit is supported on the slide frame, and bedding is laid on the support unit;
[0006] A second slide rail is provided in the fixed warming box, and the slide frame is used to slide between the first slide rail and the second slide rail. A dismounting unit is provided in the fixed warming box, and the dismounting unit is used to remove the supporting unit on the second slide rail;
[0007] A second detachable baffle and a first detachable baffle are respectively provided on opposite sides of the fixed warming box and the transfer box. When the fixed warming box and the transfer box are docked, the second detachable baffle and the first detachable baffle are opposite, and the first slide rail and the second slide rail are aligned.
[0008] The beneficial effects of this program are:
[0009] 1. After the newborn has finished bathing, place the newborn directly in the transfer box. Although the transfer box's thermal insulation and moisturizing effects are not as good as those of a fixed incubator, it has a temporary power supply and can provide the necessary environment for the newborn in a short period of time. Then place the transfer box next to the fixed incubator, so that the fixed incubator and the transfer box are connected.
[0010] The second detachable baffle and the first detachable baffle are removed, the support unit is driven by the sliding frame to slide from the first sliding rail to the second sliding rail, the support unit on the second sliding rail is removed by the removing unit, and the sliding frame slides back to the first sliding rail, so that the baby is always in the environment suitable box during the process from taking a bath to entering the fixed incubator, so as to avoid the newborn from getting cold and ensure the health.
[0011] 2. The incubator is used for at most seven days continuously, and needs to be replaced and disinfected when more than seven days; the scheme is also applicable to the case of replacing the incubator, the disinfected bedding is placed on the support unit in advance, the newborn is directly placed in the support unit after taking a bath, and the newborn enters the disinfected fixed incubator together with the support in the process, and thus the newborn does not need to contact other objects, so that the additional objects do not need to be disinfected during the transfer process; the transfer box also needs to be disinfected once every seven days, and does not need to be disinfected every time.
[0012] Further, the first sliding rail is arranged in pairs on the inner walls of the two sides of the transfer box, the second sliding rail is arranged in pairs on the inner walls of the two sides of the fixed incubator, the width of the support unit is less than the width between the two first sliding rails, and the width of the support unit is less than the width between the two second sliding rails.
[0013] The removing unit is a lifting mechanism, the lifting mechanism is used for lifting the support unit when the sliding frame and the support unit move above the lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism is used for driving the support unit to descend after the sliding frame moves away from below the support unit.
[0014] Further, the lifting mechanism comprises an inflation device and an air bag which are in communication with each other.
[0015] Further, the second detachable baffle and the fixed incubator are vertically and slidably connected, and the first detachable baffle and the transfer box are vertically and slidably connected.
[0016] Further, the first sliding rail and the second sliding rail are integrally formed with a rack on the lower side, the sliding frame comprises a sliding bar, the upper side of the sliding bar is used for supporting the edge of the support unit, a groove matched with the shape of the first sliding rail is formed in the side surface of the sliding bar, the upper side wall of the groove is slidably connected with the first sliding rail, a driving motor is arranged in the groove, a driving gear is arranged at the output shaft end of the driving motor, and the driving gear is engaged with the rack.
[0017] Further, the sliding frame further comprises a connecting plate, and the connecting plate is used for connecting the two sliding bars away from the fixed incubator.
[0018] Further, the connecting plate is matched with the inner space section of the transfer box in shape, the first air hole is arranged on the connecting plate, and the second air hole is arranged on the side of the transfer box close to the connecting plate.
[0019] Furthermore, a one-way valve is provided on the first air hole. When the connecting plate is close to the fixed warming box, the gas passes through the first air hole and the second air hole in sequence; when the connecting plate is away from the fixed warming box, the connecting plate pushes the gas between the first air hole and the second air hole out of the transfer box.
[0020] Furthermore, the one-way valve is a baffle, and the upper edge of the baffle is rotatably connected to the connecting plate. The position of the rotatable connection is above the first air hole. In the initial state, the baffle covers the first air hole.
[0021] This solution also has the following effects:
[0022] 1. After the sliding frame drives the support unit into the fixed incubator, the airbag of the inflation device is inflated and bulged, and the airbag forms support for the bottom of the support unit, so that the friction between the support unit and the sliding frame disappears or decreases; then the sliding frame slides back, gradually separating from the support unit until it slides back to the first slide rail. At this time, the inflation device stops inflating, the gas in the airbag flows out, and the support unit drops accordingly, and the support unit is supported on the bottom of the fixed incubator; finally, reinstall the second removable baffle and the first removable baffle to separate the fixed incubator and the transfer box.
[0023] 2. During the transfer process, in order to reduce the shaking felt by the newborn, this solution designs the sliding frame and the support unit to be a sliding connection. The shaking felt by the newborn is alleviated by the relative movement of the sliding frame and the support unit, and the impact force generated by the shaking is consumed by the friction between the sliding frame and the support unit.
[0024] 3. Compared with the lifting mechanism that uses a rigid structure such as a cylinder, when using an air bag, it has a flexible contact with the support unit and has a certain cushioning effect, making the newborn more comfortable throughout the process.
[0025] After the airbag supports the support unit, the sliding frame gradually moves away from the support unit. The side of the support unit away from the transfer box first loses the support of the sliding frame completely, and more pressure is transferred to the airbag. The part of the airbag away from the transfer box sinks first, causing the support unit to tilt toward that side. The bedding and newborn on the support unit continue to slide toward the side away from the transfer box. Generally, the operation window for medical staff is set on the side of the fixed incubator away from the transfer box. After the bedding and newborn slide toward the operation window, it is more convenient for medical staff to operate;
[0026] Since the support unit shakes during the transfer process, the relative position relationship between the infant and the support unit cannot be guaranteed, and it cannot be guaranteed that the infant will eventually lie on the side of the support unit close to the operating window. Therefore, the above-mentioned "bedding and newborn slide toward the operating window" effect is used to ensure that the infant will eventually lie on the side of the support unit close to the operating window, which is convenient for later operations; at the same time, it is not feasible to limit the relative position of the newborn and the support unit by reducing the size of the support unit. The support unit is not only used during the transfer process, but will also enter the fixed incubator with the newborn and participate in later use. Therefore, it is not advisable to set the support unit to be too small in size to reduce the comfort of the newborn.
[0027] 4. The connecting plate is used to connect the two sliders to synchronize their movement;
[0028] 5. After the newborn is washed with warm water and placed in the transfer box, the newborn's pores will continue to emit water vapor for a certain period of time, causing the humidity in the transfer box to rise. In order to prevent the moisture in the transfer box from being brought into the fixed incubator, this solution designs the shape of the connecting plate to "match the gap of the inner hollow cross-section of the transfer box", so that when the sliding frame drives the support unit to move toward the fixed incubator, the connecting plate also compresses the air in the transfer box, causing the air in the transfer box to flow out from the first air hole and take away the moisture from the newborn, so that after the newborn enters the fixed incubator, the environmental humidity can more quickly reach the optimal humidity.
[0029] 6. After the newborn enters the fixed incubator, the sliding frame drives the connecting plate back into the transfer box. At this time, in order to prevent the lower-temperature air from outside from entering the fixed incubator through the first air hole, a one-way valve is set on the first air hole in this solution to prevent the outside air from flowing back.

[0040] As Figure 1 shown, the left side of the fixed incubator 2 is provided with an observation plate 21, and the observation plate 21 is made of transparent material. An operation window 22 is formed on the observation plate 21, and the operation window 22 and the operation window 22 of the prior art incubator can be manually opened or closed to facilitate medical personnel to perform medical operations on the neonates in the incubator. The right side of the incubator is provided with a second detachable baffle 23, and the front and rear edges of the second detachable baffle 23 are integrally formed with a vertical second convex strip 24. The left and right sides of the transport box 1 are respectively provided with a second side plate 25, and the side of the second side plate 25 close to the second detachable baffle 23 and the side of the second side plate 25 away from the second detachable baffle 23 are vertically provided with a second groove 27, and the second convex strip 24 is vertically slidably arranged in the second groove 27. The positioning blocks 16 of the two first detachable baffles 13 are used to cooperate and be clamped on the outer sides of the two second side plates 25, thereby realizing the effect of positioning and docking. The inner side of the second side plate 25 is horizontally bolted to a second sliding rail 26, and the second sliding rail 26 is the same in structure as the first sliding rail 17. The lower side of the second sliding rail 26 is also welded with a rack.
[0041] The sliding frame is connected to the first sliding rail 17, and the support unit is supported on the sliding frame. As shown in the drawings, the sliding frame comprises sliding bars 31 and a connecting plate 35. The sliding bars 31 are used to slide between the first sliding rail 17 and the second sliding rail 26, and the connecting plate 35 is used to connect the right ends of the two sliding bars 31. Figure 3 As shown in the drawings, the outer sides of the two sliding bars 31 are provided with side grooves 32 which are matched with the shape of the first sliding rail 17. The upper side walls of the side grooves 32 are in sliding connection with the upper side of the first sliding rail 17. A driving motor 33 is bolted to the lower side of the side groove 32.
