Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of livestock breeding equipment technology, specifically a constant temperature nursery device to improve the survival rate of lambs. Background Technology

[0002] In large-scale sheep farming, the care of newborn lambs, especially premature or weak lambs, is a crucial factor determining the economic benefits of the operation. To provide a suitable living environment, temperature-controlled incubators are widely used in the early care of lambs, aiming to improve survival rates by controlling environmental temperature and humidity. However, existing incubator equipment still has limitations in structural design and functional integration, making it difficult to meet the needs of refined care.

[0003] Most mainstream nursery crates on the market currently use a fixed flat surface or simple soft padding as their support structure. Because weak lambs have poor motor skills, they often remain in the same prone position for extended periods. This static support method cannot effectively intervene in the lamb's posture. Prolonged pressure in a single position can lead to poor blood circulation in the contact areas, easily causing problems such as limb numbness or even bedsores. Manually turning the lamb at regular intervals not only increases the workload for farmers but also makes it difficult to ensure timely and continuous care.

[0004] Furthermore, existing equipment typically operates independently in terms of maintaining internal hygiene and humidity control. Lamb urine is usually discharged simply through bottom drains or absorbed by the bedding, a process that easily leads to bacterial growth and odor accumulation at the bottom of the enclosure, affecting the lambs' respiratory health. Meanwhile, to maintain suitable humidity levels, existing equipment often requires separate humidifiers and water storage devices. This not only increases the size and maintenance costs of the equipment but also neglects the purification and reuse of moisture from liquid excrement, resulting in resource waste and a fragmented environmental control system.

[0005] Regarding ventilation and oxygen supply, existing incubators mostly use fixed air vents for overall air exchange or recirculation. This passive air supply structure cannot detect the lamb's specific location within the incubator, causing fresh air or temperature-controlled airflow to tend to diffuse throughout the entire incubator space rather than precisely targeting the lamb's breathing area. This not only reduces ventilation efficiency and temperature control accuracy but also results in unnecessary energy consumption and makes it difficult to ensure a continuous supply of optimal local microenvironment when the lamb is moved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a constant-temperature nursery device to improve lamb survival rates. It solves the problems of existing nursery devices, such as the inability to intelligently intervene in the body compression damage caused by lambs' long-term single posture, the lack of linkage between excrement handling and environmental humidity regulation leading to resource waste and hygiene hazards, and the inability to accurately deliver air according to the lamb's position, resulting in low ventilation efficiency and high energy consumption.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a constant temperature nursery device for improving lamb survival rate, comprising a heat preservation box and a roof, a sealing component on one side of the heat preservation box, an operating board fixedly connected to one side of the heat preservation box, a built-in constant temperature nursery system on the operating board, an operating component on one side of the operating board, a base fixedly connected inside the heat preservation box, a lying mat fixedly connected to the top of the base, an inflation component between the base and the lying mat, a feeding trough fixedly connected inside the heat preservation box, a drain plate slidably connected inside the heat preservation box, a filter pad slidably connected to the top of the drain plate, a pull-out plate fixedly connected to one side of the drain plate, and a guide plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the heat preservation box;

[0013] Preferably, the water guiding assembly includes an outlet mechanism and an inlet mechanism. The outlet mechanism includes an outlet pipe, a water pump, and a water delivery pipe. The outer wall of the outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the inside of the insulation box. The outer wall of the water pump is fixedly connected to the inside of the insulation box. The input end of the water pump is connected to one end of the outlet pipe, and the output end of the water pump is connected to one end of the water delivery pipe.

[0014] Preferably, each of the opening and closing components includes an air outlet plate and a rotating shaft.

[0015] Preferably, the air guiding assembly includes multiple air flow pipes, multiple solenoid valves, and three-way valves.

[0017] Preferably, the constant temperature incubation system includes a central control unit, an attitude adjustment module, a circulating humidification module, and an intelligent following air supply module, and its control logic is as follows:

[0018] The posture adjustment module is used to monitor and intervene in the lamb's lying position. When the gravity sensor detects that the lamb has maintained the same posture for a long time, the central control unit controls the air pump to start and changes the inflation level of different positions of the lying pad through the air duct to guide the lamb to change its posture.

[0019] The circulating humidification module is used for automatic adjustment of ambient humidity and utilization of waste liquid. When the temperature and humidity sensor detects that the humidity inside the heat preservation box is insufficient, the central control unit controls the ultraviolet sterilization lamp to work and starts the water pump to draw the filtered and sterilized liquid in the collection tank through the outflow pipe, and delivers it to the humidifier for atomization and discharge into the heat preservation box.

[0020] The intelligent following air delivery module is used to deliver air in a directional manner according to the lamb's location. It obtains an image of the inside of the incubator and locates the lamb's position through an infrared sensor. The central control unit determines the corresponding air outlet pipe based on the location information, controls the corresponding solenoid valve to open and adjusts the state of the three-way valve, and at the same time starts the air delivery fan to deliver the air processed by the temperature control pipe to the lamb's location through the selected air outlet pipe.

[0021] This invention provides a constant-temperature nursery device to improve lamb survival rates. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. This invention utilizes a posture adjustment module composed of an integrated gravity sensor and an inflatable component to intelligently monitor the lamb's lying posture. When the system detects that the lamb has maintained the same posture for an extended period, it activates an air pump to guide the lamb to turn over autonomously by changing the inflation level of different areas of the lying mat. This avoids bedsores or limb numbness caused by prolonged pressure, thereby improving the lamb's comfort and playing a positive role in preventing related health problems, which is beneficial to the healthy growth of the lamb.

[0023] 2. This invention uses a filtration component and a water guiding component to allow lamb excrement to flow through the excrement plate and guide plate into the filter plate and carbon adsorption plate for solid-liquid separation and odor adsorption. Then, it enters the collection tank and is thoroughly sterilized by ultraviolet germicidal lamps. When the humidity inside the incubator is insufficient, the water pump will transport the treated liquid and the liquid inside the water tank to the humidifier for atomization and discharge. This achieves both effective treatment and reuse of waste and maintains suitable humidity inside the incubator.

[0024] 3. This invention uses an infrared sensor to obtain the real-time position of the lamb inside the incubator. The constant temperature nursery system can intelligently control the opening and closing of the corresponding air outlet pipe according to the actual activity area of ​​the lamb, and start the air supply fan to accurately deliver clean air regulated by the temperature control pipe to the area where the lamb is located. The directional air supply method not only ensures that the lamb can continuously obtain fresh and temperature-appropriate air, but also avoids the energy waste caused by traditional whole ventilation, improves the efficiency and comfort of air supply, and helps maintain the health of the lamb's respiratory tract.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] See attached document Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 9This invention provides a constant temperature nursery device for improving lamb survival rate, including a heat preservation box 1 and a roof 4. A sealing component is provided on one side of the heat preservation box 1, and an operation board 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the heat preservation box 1. The operation board 5 has a built-in constant temperature nursery system, and an operation component is provided on one side of the operation board 5. A base 9 is fixedly connected inside the heat preservation box 1, and a lying mat 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 9. An inflation component is provided between the base 9 and the lying mat 10. A feeding trough 14 is fixedly connected inside the heat preservation box 1. A defecation plate 15 is slidably connected inside the heat preservation box 1. A filter pad 45 is slidably connected to the top of the defecation plate 15. A pull-out plate 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the defecation plate 15, and a guide plate 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heat preservation box 1.

[0037] The bottom of the insulated box 1 is equipped with a filter assembly, the inside of the insulated box 1 is equipped with a water guiding assembly, the top of the insulated box 1 is fixedly connected with multiple fluorescent lamps 26, the inner wall of the insulated box 1 is fixedly connected with a temperature and humidity sensor 27, the inner wall of the insulated box 1 is fixedly connected with an infrared sensor 28, the inside of the insulated box 1 is fixedly connected with multiple air outlet pipes 29, each air outlet pipe 29 is equipped with an opening and closing assembly at one end, the outer wall of the insulated box 1 is fixedly connected with a protective shell 32, the inside of the protective shell 32 is equipped with an air guiding assembly, the inside of the protective shell 32 is fixedly connected with an air supply box 38, and the inside of the air supply box 38 is equipped with an air inlet assembly.

[0038] The sealing assembly includes a door 2 and an observation window 3. One side of the door 2 is rotatably connected to one side of the insulated box 1. The outer wall of the observation window 3 is fixedly connected to the inside of the door 2. The operation assembly includes a display screen 6 and two adjustment knobs 7. One side of the display screen 6 is electrically connected to one side of the operation panel 5. One end of each adjustment knob 7 is electrically connected to one side of the operation panel 5. Multiple buttons 8 are electrically connected to one side of the operation panel 5. The inflation assembly includes multiple gravity sensors 11 and multiple air pumps 12. The bottom of each gravity sensor 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 9. The outer wall of each air pump 12 is fixedly connected to the inside of the base 9. The output end of each air pump 12 is fixedly connected to an air guide tube 13. The top end of each air guide tube 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the prone mat 10.

[0039] Specifically, the newborn lambs are first cleaned and treated as necessary. After treatment, the operator opens the door 2 of the sealing assembly and places the lamb inside the incubator 1, allowing it to lie down on the lying mat 10 on top of the base 9. Next, the operator uses the display screen 6, adjustment knobs 7, and buttons 8 on the control panel 5 fixed to the side of the incubator 1 to set parameters for the built-in constant temperature incubation system. For example, the operator adjusts and locks the temperature and humidity inside the incubator 1 to the target values ​​suitable for lamb growth. As the lamb begins to rest inside the incubator 1, the posture adjustment module starts working. Multiple gravity sensors 11 monitor the pressure distribution of the lamb's weight on the lying mat 10 in real time and continuously transmit the collected signals to the central control unit. When the central control unit determines that the gravity sensor 11 has detected that the lamb's body has not changed its posture for a long time within a preset time threshold, it triggers the posture adjustment process. The central control unit immediately controls the air pump 12 in the inflation assembly to start, and begins to inflate a specific inflation chamber in the lying mat 10 through the air duct 13. This local inflation action changes the force support surface of the lying mat 10, and physically guides the lamb to change its lying posture on its own, avoiding the health risks caused by long-term pressure on local tissues.

[0040] See attached document Figure 4 -Appendix Figure 6 The filter assembly includes a filter plate 18, a carbon adsorption plate 19, and multiple ultraviolet germicidal lamps 21. The outer wall of the filter plate 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the insulated box 1, the outer wall of the carbon adsorption plate 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the insulated box 1, and the bottom of the filter plate 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the carbon adsorption plate 19. A storage slot 20 is provided inside the insulated box 1, and the outer wall of each ultraviolet germicidal lamp 21 is fixedly connected to the inside of the storage slot 20.

[0041] The water guiding assembly includes an outlet mechanism and an inlet mechanism. The outlet mechanism includes an outlet pipe 22, a water pump 23, and a water delivery pipe 24. The outer wall of the outlet pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the inside of the insulation box 1. The outer wall of the water pump 23 is fixedly connected to the inside of the insulation box 1. The input end of the water pump 23 is connected to one end of the outlet pipe 22, and the output end of the water pump 23 is connected to one end of the water delivery pipe 24. The outer wall of the water delivery pipe 24 is fixedly connected to the inside of the insulation box 1, and a humidifier 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the water delivery pipe 24. The inlet mechanism includes a water injection tank 41, a water filling pipe 42, and a water injection pipe 44. One side of the water injection tank 41 is fixedly connected to one side of the insulation box 1. The outer wall of the water filling pipe 42 is fixedly connected to the inside of the insulation box 1, and a water injection valve 43 is fixedly connected to one end of the water filling pipe 42. The outer wall of the water injection pipe 44 is fixedly connected to the inside of the insulation box 1, and one end of the water injection pipe 44 is fixedly connected to one end of the water injection valve 43.

[0042] Specifically, in the use of the constant temperature nursery device of the present invention, the circulating humidification module simultaneously undertakes the functions of waste liquid treatment and environmental humidity control. When lambs defecate, the excrement first falls above the excrement plate 15. Solid feces are effectively intercepted by the filter pad 45 set on the excrement plate 15, ensuring that solid waste is isolated. Liquid urine can pass through the filter pad 45 and seep downward through the through holes inside the excrement plate 15, then collect along the inclined guide plate 17, and pass through the filter plate 18 and carbon adsorption plate 19 in sequence to complete solid-liquid separation and adsorption of odor substances. The purified regenerated liquid finally flows into the collection tank 20 for centralized storage. The central control unit then controls the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 21 set in the collection tank 20 to start, continuously irradiating the accumulated liquid with ultraviolet light to sterilize it, thereby preparing clean circulating humidification water.

[0043] Simultaneously, the system acquires real-time relative humidity data inside the insulated box 1 from the temperature and humidity sensor 27. When the central control unit determines that the current ambient humidity is lower than the preset suitable standard, it sends a drive command to the water pump 23. After the water pump 23 starts, it generates suction force, drawing out the sterilized liquid from the collection tank 20 through the outflow pipe 22, and then conveying it upwards through the water supply pipe 24 to the humidifier 25 installed on the upper part of the box. The humidifier 25 atomizes the liquid and discharges it into the internal space of the insulated box 1, quickly increasing the ambient humidity.

[0044] To ensure the continuity of the humidification process, a water tank 41 and a water injection valve 43 are also provided as auxiliary water sources. The central control unit continuously monitors the liquid level inside the collection tank 20. When the liquid level in the collection tank 20 is detected to be lower than the preset minimum operating threshold, the central control unit will immediately control the water injection valve 43 to open. At this time, clean water from the water tank 41 flows into the collection tank 20 through the water injection valve 43, automatically replenishing the circulating water and ensuring that the circulating humidification module always has sufficient liquid reserves to maintain the stability of the humidity inside the insulation box 1.

[0045] See attached document Figure 7 -Appendix Figure 9Each opening and closing component includes an air outlet plate 30 and a rotating shaft 31. The outer wall of the air outlet plate 30 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 29. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the inside of the air outlet plate 30. Both ends of the rotating shaft 31 are fixedly connected to the inside of the air outlet pipe 29. The air guiding component includes multiple air flow pipes 33, multiple solenoid valves 34 and three-way valves 36. One side of each air flow pipe 33 is fixedly connected to one end of the air outlet pipe 29. Each solenoid valve 34 is located at the bottom end of the air flow pipe 33. A connecting pipe 35 is provided inside the protective shell 32. The bottom end of each air flow pipe 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting pipe 35. One end of the three-way valve 36 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting pipe 35. The input ends of the two three-way valves 36 are fixedly connected to flow pipes 37. One end of each flow pipe 37 is fixedly connected to one side of the air supply box 38.

[0046] The air intake assembly includes multiple temperature control tubes 39 and multiple air supply fans 40. Both ends of each temperature control tube 39 are fixedly connected to the inside of the air supply box 38, and the outer wall of each air supply fan 40 is fixedly connected to one side of the air supply box 38.

[0047] Specifically, during the operation of the intelligent following air delivery module, the infrared sensor 28 continuously monitors the internal space of the incubator 1 using infrared thermal imaging. Once it detects that the lamb has moved and the current air delivery area no longer matches, the infrared sensor 28 immediately transmits the collected real-time image position data to the central control unit. The central control unit analyzes the image data using its internally preset positioning logic, calculates the lamb's current coordinates, and accordingly locks onto the target air outlet 29 that is closest to the lamb or covers the area. Then, the central control unit issues a command to prioritize control of the air outlet 29. The solenoid valve 34 at the bottom of the air duct 33 connected to the target air outlet 29 is opened, while the valve in the non-target area is closed, and the three-way valve 36 is simultaneously driven to switch to the corresponding connected state to build a complete air guide link. After the air path is switched, the air supply fan 40 on the side wall of the air supply box 38 is started, which introduces the outside air and pushes it into the temperature control tube 39 for heat exchange treatment of heating or cooling. The treated constant temperature fresh air flow is precisely discharged from the opened air outlet 29 along the predetermined pipeline, thereby realizing the fixed-point ventilation effect of the air outlet automatically following and switching with the position of the lamb.

[0048] The constant temperature incubation system includes a central control unit, a posture adjustment module, a circulating humidification module, and an intelligent following air supply module. Its control logic is as follows:

[0049] The posture adjustment module is used to monitor and intervene in the lamb's lying position. When the gravity sensor 11 detects that the lamb has maintained the same posture for a long time, the central control unit controls the air pump 12 to start and changes the inflation degree of different positions of the lying pad 10 through the air duct 13 to guide the lamb to change its posture.

[0050] The circulating humidification module is used for automatic adjustment of ambient humidity and utilization of waste liquid. When the temperature and humidity sensor 27 detects that the humidity inside the heat preservation box 1 is insufficient, the central control unit controls the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 21 to work and starts the water pump 23 to draw the filtered and sterilized liquid in the collection tank 20 through the outflow pipe 22, and delivers it to the humidifier 25 for atomization and discharge into the heat preservation box 1.

[0051] The intelligent following air delivery module is used to deliver air in a directional manner according to the lamb's location. It obtains an image of the inside of the heatbox 1 through the infrared sensor 28 and locates the lamb's position. The central control unit determines the corresponding air outlet pipe 29 based on the location information, controls the corresponding solenoid valve 34 to open and adjusts the state of the three-way valve 36. At the same time, the air delivery fan 40 is started to deliver the air processed by the temperature control pipe 39 to the lamb's location through the selected air outlet pipe 29.

[0052] Specifically, the present invention provides a constant temperature nursery device for improving lamb survival rate, wherein the constant temperature nursery system includes a central control unit and a posture adjustment module. The posture adjustment module is electrically connected to the central control unit and is used to monitor and adjust the physical state of the lamb inside the incubator 1.

[0053] The posture adjustment module mainly consists of an inflatable assembly positioned between the base 9 and the prone mat 10. The inflatable assembly includes multiple gravity sensors 11 and multiple air pumps 12. The bottom of each gravity sensor 11 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 9, and the multiple gravity sensors 11 are arranged in an array to cover the stress area of ​​the prone mat 10. The outer wall of each air pump 12 is fixedly installed within the internal space of the base 9. The output end of each air pump 12 is connected to the bottom of the prone mat 10 via an air guide pipe 13. The prone mat 10 is made of a flexible, deformable material and has multiple independent inflatable chambers inside. Each air guide pipe 13 is connected to a different inflatable chamber of the prone mat 10.

[0054] During use, when the lamb is placed on the lying mat 10, the gravity sensor 11 senses the pressure distribution data above it in real time. The gravity sensor 11 transmits the collected pressure signal to the central control unit. The central control unit stores preset time thresholds and pressure distribution comparison logic.

[0055] The central control unit continuously analyzes the received pressure signals. If the central control unit detects that the pressure value and distribution location of the gravity sensor 11 in a specific area have not changed substantially within a period exceeding a preset time threshold, the central control unit determines that the lamb has maintained the same posture for an extended period of time.

[0056] At this time, the central control unit sends a drive command to the attitude adjustment module. The attitude adjustment module selectively activates the air pump 12 located below the non-stressed area or a specific stressed area according to the command. The air pump 12 generates airflow, which is filled into the corresponding inflation chamber of the prone mat 10 through the air guide tube 13.

[0057] As gas is injected, localized areas of the lying mat 10 expand and bulge. This surface deformation alters the flatness and inclination of the supporting plane of the lamb's body. This physical change in the supporting surface disrupts the lamb's original force balance, using physical displacement to guide the lamb to adjust its limb position or perform rolling movements.

[0058] When the gravity sensor 11 detects a change in pressure distribution, indicating that the lamb has completed its posture change, the central control unit controls the air pump 12 to stop working or to perform an air release operation, restoring the lying mat 10 to its initial flat state and completing one posture adjustment process. This process, through mechanical physical intervention, avoids prolonged pressure on one side of the lamb's body.

[0059] The circulating humidification module is electrically connected to the central control unit and is used to collect and treat the liquid waste generated inside the insulated box 1, and to use the treated liquid to regulate the ambient humidity.

[0060] The liquid collection and primary treatment structure of the circulating humidification module is located in the bottom area of ​​the insulated box 1. A drain plate 15 is slidably connected inside the insulated box 1. The surface of the drain plate 15 has a through-hole structure to allow liquid to pass through. A guide plate 17 is fixedly installed below the drain plate 15. The guide plate 17 is set at an angle, and its lowest point corresponds to the position of the filter component at the bottom of the insulated box 1.

[0061] The filtration assembly includes a filter plate 18, a carbon adsorption plate 19, and ultraviolet germicidal lamps 21. The filter plate 18 and the carbon adsorption plate 19 are stacked at the bottom opening of the insulated box 1, with the filter plate 18 positioned above the carbon adsorption plate 19. The filter plate 18 blocks solid impurities, while the carbon adsorption plate 19 adsorbs odor substances from the liquid. A receiving tank 20 is located below the filtration assembly to receive the filtered liquid. Multiple ultraviolet germicidal lamps 21 are fixedly installed on the inner sidewall of the receiving tank 20, and the ultraviolet germicidal lamps 21 are electrically connected to the central control unit.

[0062] The liquid circulation and atomization output structure of the circulating humidification module includes a water guiding assembly. The water guiding assembly consists of an outlet pipe 22, a water pump 23, a water supply pipe 24, and a humidifier 25. One end of the outlet pipe 22 extends into the bottom of the receiving tank 20, and the other end is connected to the input end of the water pump 23. The water pump 23 is fixedly installed in the equipment cavity inside the insulation box 1. The output end of the water pump 23 is connected to one end of the water supply pipe 24, which extends upward along the inner wall of the insulation box 1, and its top end is fixedly connected to the liquid inlet of the humidifier 25. The humidifier 25 is installed in the upper space of the insulation box 1.

[0063] During operation, lamb urine leaks through the excretion plate 15 and falls onto the surface of the guide plate 17. Under gravity, the liquid flows along the guide plate 17 towards the filter plate 18. The liquid then passes through the filter plate 18 and the carbon adsorption plate 19, completing solid-liquid separation and deodorization before flowing into the collection tank 20. The central control unit activates the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 21 to continuously irradiate and sterilize the liquid accumulated in the collection tank 20, producing reusable humidifying water.

[0064] A temperature and humidity sensor 27 installed on the inner wall of the insulated box 1 monitors the relative humidity data of the internal environment in real time and transmits the data to the central control unit. When the central control unit determines that the current humidity value is lower than the preset lower limit of the suitable range, the central control unit sends a humidification command to the circulating humidification module.

[0065] The central control unit starts the water pump 23, which generates negative pressure to draw the sterilized liquid from the collection tank 20 through the outflow pipe 22 and pump it to the humidifier 25 through the water supply pipe 24. The humidifier 25 converts the input liquid into atomized gas and sprays it into the interior space of the insulated box 1, thereby increasing the ambient humidity. When the temperature and humidity sensor 27 detects that the humidity has reached the preset standard, the central control unit controls the water pump 23 and the humidifier 25 to stop working.

[0066] The intelligent following air delivery module is electrically connected to the central control unit and is used to deliver air in a directional manner based on the lamb's position inside the incubator 1.

[0067] The hardware structure of the intelligent following air supply module is mainly distributed inside the insulation box 1, on the outer wall, and inside the protective shell 32. An infrared sensor 28 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the insulation box 1. The sensing range of the infrared sensor 28 covers the inner bottom area of ​​the insulation box 1 and is used to collect images or location data of the internal heat source distribution.

[0068] The airflow generation and processing section of the intelligent following air supply module is located inside the air supply box 38. The air supply box 38 contains an air intake assembly, which includes multiple temperature control pipes 39 and multiple air supply fans 40. Each air supply fan 40 is installed at an air inlet on the side wall of the air supply box 38 to introduce outside air. Each temperature control pipe 39 is horizontally positioned in the airflow channel of the air supply box 38 to heat or cool the passing air.

[0069] The airflow delivery and distribution section of the intelligent following air supply module is located inside the protective housing 32 and consists of an air guiding assembly. The air guiding assembly includes a flow pipe 37, a three-way valve 36, a connecting pipe 35, an air flow pipe 33, and a solenoid valve 34. One end of the flow pipe 37 is connected to the air supply box 38, and the other end is connected to the input end of the three-way valve 36. The output end of the three-way valve 36 is connected to the connecting pipe 35. The connecting pipe 35 serves as the main air passage, and multiple air flow pipes 33 are connected to its top.

[0070] Each airflow pipe 33 is equipped with a solenoid valve 34 at its bottom end. The solenoid valve 34 is electrically connected to the central control unit and is used to control the airflow of this branch. The other end of each airflow pipe 33 passes through the side wall of the insulation box 1 and is connected to multiple air outlet pipes 29 located inside the insulation box 1.

[0071] The end of the vent pipe 29 is provided with an opening and closing assembly, which includes an vent plate 30 and a rotating shaft 31. The two ends of the rotating shaft 31 are fixed to the inner wall of the vent pipe 29, and the vent plate 30 is installed inside the vent pipe 29 through the rotating shaft 31. In the absence of airflow, the vent plate 30 is in a closed state; when airflow passes through, the air pressure pushes the vent plate 30 to slide open along the inner wall of the vent pipe 29.

[0072] During operation, the infrared sensor 28 monitors the infrared thermal image signal inside the incubator 1 in real time and transmits the signal to the central control unit. The central control unit calculates the current coordinate position of the lamb based on the signal using an image algorithm and matches it with the coverage area of ​​each preset air outlet 29 to determine the target air outlet 29.

[0073] After determining the target location, the central control unit sends a control command to the intelligent following air supply module. The central control unit first controls the solenoid valve 34 at the bottom of the air flow pipe 33 connected to the target air outlet pipe 29 to open, while keeping the solenoid valves 34 in other non-target areas closed.

[0074] Subsequently, the central control unit adjusts the valve core position of the three-way valve 36 to connect the air passage to the corresponding connecting pipe 35. At the same time, the central control unit starts the air supply fan 40 and the temperature control pipe 39. After being filtered and temperature-regulated in the air supply box 38, the outside air forms a fresh airflow with a suitable temperature.

[0075] The airflow passes sequentially through flow pipe 37, three-way valve 36, and connecting pipe 35, then enters airflow pipe 33 with solenoid valve 34 open, and finally reaches the outlet pipe 29 at the target location. The airflow pushes open the outlet plate 30 and is precisely delivered to the area where the lamb is located, achieving follow-up fixed-point air delivery.

[0076] Working principle: In the process of using a constant temperature nursery device to improve the survival rate of lambs, after the lambs have undergone basic treatment after birth, the door 2 is opened and the lambs are placed inside the incubator 1. Then, the temperature and humidity inside the incubator 1 are changed to the required temperature by operating the control panel 5. When the lambs are lying inside the incubator 1, when the gravity sensor 11 senses that the lambs have maintained one position for a long time, the air pump 12 is started to inflate the lying mat 10 through the air duct 13. By changing the degree of inflation in different positions, the lambs are guided to change their positions.

[0077] After the lambs defecate, the solids are intercepted by the filter pad 45 and remain above the excretion plate 15. The urine will leak through the filter pad 45 from inside the excretion plate 15, and then flow down to the filter plate 18 below through the guide plate 17. After being filtered by the filter plate 18 and the carbon adsorption plate 19, the urine flows into the collection tank 20. The filtered urine is sterilized by the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 21. When the humidity inside the heat preservation box 1 is insufficient, the water pump 23 starts and introduces the sterilized liquid inside the collection tank 20 into the water supply pipe 24 through the outflow pipe 22. Finally, it is atomized from the humidifier 25 and discharged into the heat preservation box 1 to increase the humidity inside the heat preservation box 1. When the liquid inside the collection tank 20 is insufficient, the system starts the water injection valve 43 to inject clean water from the water injection tank 41 into the collection tank 20 to ensure that the water volume inside the collection tank 20 is sufficient.

[0078] When the infrared sensor 28 detects that the lamb has moved and the opening and closing state of the air outlet 29 needs to be changed, the system first determines the position of the air outlet 29 that needs to be opened based on the image provided by the infrared sensor 28, and then adjusts the opening and closing of the corresponding solenoid valve 34. After all the corresponding air outlets 29 are opened, the three-way valve 36 is adjusted to the corresponding state, and the air supply fan 40 is started to send the air heated or cooled by the temperature control tube 39 into the heat preservation box 1 to provide fresh air for the lamb.
