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

[0002] An infant incubator is a medical device that can provide appropriate temperature, humidity, and oxygen concentration inside the incubator. Its purpose is to provide a womb-like growth environment for premature babies or sick babies.

[0003] The cover of an infant incubator is typically opened and closed electrically. However, after a period of use, infant incubators typically require cleaning and disinfection. This requires opening the cover and removing parts such as the bed board. Prior to cleaning and disinfection, the incubator must be powered on and turned on, the cover adjusted to the appropriate position, and then turned off and on for cleaning and disinfection. After cleaning, the incubator must be powered on again to close the cover. This cumbersome process affects cleaning and disinfection efficiency, and poses a safety risk if the cleaning staff forgets to turn off the power for cleaning and disinfection.

[0034] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "altitude", "upper", etc. indicate an orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in FIG1 , and the terms "first direction" and "first direction" indicate an orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in FIG8 , wherein the infant incubator is placed on a horizontal plane, and the "top" is the "upper" direction shown in FIG1 . These orientation terms are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the embodiments of the present application.

[0035] An embodiment of the present application provides an infant incubator. Please refer to Figures 1 to 5. The infant incubator includes a box body 101, a support structure 102, a box cover assembly 104 and a driving mechanism.

[0036] The top of the box body 101 has an opening 101 a , and the support structure 102 is disposed on one side of the box body 101 .

[0037] The box 101 has a support surface for supporting a baby, that is, the baby can be placed from the opening 101a onto the support surface in the box 101. The support surface can be, for example, a bed board.

[0038] The housing cover assembly 104 includes a housing cover 1041 and a connecting arm 1042. The connecting arm 1042 is movably disposed on the support structure 102 and is movably or fixedly connected to the housing cover 1041. The driving mechanism is at least drivably connected to the connecting arm 1042. That is, when the connecting arm 1042 is movably connected to the housing cover 1041, the driving mechanism may or may not be drivably connected to the housing cover 1041.

[0039] The canopy assembly 104 has a manual operation mode and an electric operation mode. The canopy 1041 has a closed position where the cover is placed on the opening 101 a , and a manual open position and an electric open position where the opening 101 a is open.

[0040] Manual operation mode means the operator operates manually and does not require electricity. Electric operation mode means the operator operates electronically and does require electricity. In other words, manual operation mode can be used when the power is off and electric operation mode can be used when the power is on.

[0041] The manual opening position and the electric opening position may be the same position or different positions.

[0042] Referring to Figure 3, in the manual operation mode, an external force is manually applied to the housing cover assembly 104, causing the housing cover 1041, or the connecting arm 1042, to move the housing cover 1041 between the closed position and the manually opened position. In other words, in the manual operation mode, the operator can manually open the housing cover 1041 and move the housing cover 1041 from the closed position to the manually opened position.

[0043] In the manual operation mode, the box cover 1041 can move between the closed position and the manual open position while the connecting arm 1042 remains stationary, or the connecting arm 1042 can drive the box cover 1041 to move between the closed position and the manual open position through movement.

[0044] 4 and 5 , in the electric operation mode, the drive mechanism at least drives the connecting arm 1042 to move, causing the connecting arm 1042 to move the housing cover 1041 between the closed position and the electric open position. In other words, in the electric operation mode, the housing cover 1041 is opened and moved from the closed position to the electric open position by electronic control.

[0045] It can be understood that if the driving mechanism is only connected to the connecting arm 1042, the driving mechanism only drives the connecting arm 1042 to move, and for the movably connected box cover 1041 and connecting arm 1042, if the driving mechanism is respectively connected to the connecting arm 1042 and the box cover 1041, the driving mechanism drives both the connecting arm 1042 and the box cover 1041 to move.

[0046] In addition, it should be noted that, for the movably connected box cover 1041 and connecting arm 1042, if the driving mechanism is not connected to the driving mechanism of the box cover 1041, the box cover 1041 can only move relative to the connecting arm 1042 in the manual operation mode (that is, the box cover 1041 is moved relative to the connecting arm 1042 manually in the manual operation mode), and the box cover 1041 can also only move relative to the connecting arm 1042 in a non-manual manner in the electric operation mode (that is, the box cover 1041 is not moved relative to the connecting arm 1042 manually in the electric operation mode), and the box cover 1041 can also move relative to the connecting arm 1042 in the manual operation mode and the electric operation mode respectively.

[0047] The structural form of the driving mechanism is not limited, as long as it can at least drive the connecting arm 1042 to move, so that the connecting arm 1042 drives the box cover 1041 to move between the closed position and the electrically opened position.

[0048] The manual operation mode can be used for cleaning and disinfecting the infant incubator, while the electric operation mode can be used for normal use of the infant incubator. By setting the manual operation mode, the box cover 1041 can be opened and closed in the power-off state, thereby improving not only the efficiency of cleaning and disinfecting the infant incubator, but also the safety of cleaning and disinfecting.

[0049] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 5 , the infant incubator can be provided with a radiation assembly 103 on the support structure 102. When the cover 1041 is in the electrically open position, the cover 1041 avoids the radiation assembly 103. It should be noted that the "electrically open position" herein refers to the extreme position in which the cover 104 avoids the radiation assembly 103 and is in the maximum open state. "Movement between a closed position and an electrically open position with the cover positioned over the opening 101a" includes: movement to the closed position with the cover positioned over the opening 101a, movement to the electrically open position avoiding the radiation assembly 103, and movement to multiple or any intermediate positions between the closed position and the electrically open position. The meaning of movement of the cover 1041 between the closed position and the manually open position is similar, including: movement to the closed position with the cover positioned over the opening 101a, movement to the manually open position in the maximum open state, and movement to multiple or any intermediate positions between the closed position and the manually open position.

[0050] Specifically, the infant incubator can be configured in both incubator mode and radiation table mode. In incubator mode, the infant incubator performs its most basic functions (see Figures 1 and 2). In incubator mode, the cover 1041 is closed. In radiation table mode, see Figures 4 and 5. The cover 1041 is opened, allowing the incubator 101 to serve as a platform for performing first aid and other operations on sick infants. The radiation assembly 103 is used to radiate toward a supporting surface in radiation table mode. Therefore, when the cover 1041 is in the electrically open position, it must avoid the radiation assembly 103, meaning it does not obstruct the radiation assembly 103.

[0051] For example, referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , in the electrically opened position, a cone-shaped radiation range may be formed between the radiation component 103 and the supporting surface, and the box cover 1041 may be located outside the cone-shaped radiation range.

[0052] That is to say, in the electrically opened position, the box cover 1041 can completely avoid the conical radiation range, so as to prevent the box cover 1041 from blocking part of the conical radiation range and affecting the radiation effect of the radiation component 103.

[0053] For example, referring to Figures 4 and 5, in the electrically open position, the end of the housing 1041 near the radiating assembly 103 may not be lower than the radiating assembly 103 and may be further away from the support structure 102 than the radiating assembly 103. In other words, in the electrically open position, the end of the housing 1041 near the radiating assembly 103 may be flush with the radiating assembly 103 or higher than the radiating assembly 103. At the same time, the distance between the end of the housing 1041 near the radiating assembly 103 and the support structure 102 is greater than the distance between the radiating assembly 103 and the support structure 102. This arrangement effectively ensures that the housing 1041 can be located outside the conical radiation range.

[0054] Furthermore, referring to Figures 2, 4, and 5, the bottom of the infant incubator forms a bottom support plane P. Bottom support plane P refers to the plane used to support the infant incubator when placed on a horizontal surface. Bottom support plane P is parallel to the horizontal plane. Along a direction perpendicular to bottom support plane P, the projections of the radiating assembly 103 and the opening 101a on bottom support plane P can at least partially overlap. In other words, at least a portion of the radiating assembly 103 can be located directly above the opening 101a. This arrangement ensures that the radiation range of the radiating assembly 103 covers a large area of ​​the supporting surface, thereby ensuring the radiation effect of the radiating assembly 103.

[0055] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5 , the ground height of the box cover 1041 when in the manual opening position may be different from the ground height of the box cover 1041 when in the electric opening position. That is, the manual opening position and the electric opening position may be different positions.

[0056] The ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the cover 1041 and the horizontal plane when the infant incubator is placed on the horizontal plane.

[0057] 3 to 5 , the height of the housing cover 1041 from the ground when it is in the manual opening position may be lower than the height of the housing cover 1041 from the ground when it is in the electric opening position.

[0058] During normal use of the infant incubator, it is necessary to ensure that after the cover 1041 is opened, it will not block certain components of the infant incubator (such as the radiation component 103) or affect the normal operation of medical staff. Therefore, the cover 1041 usually needs to be in a relatively high open position, and the cleaning and disinfection of the infant incubator only requires that after the cover 1041 is opened, the bed board and other parts in the box body 101 can be removed, and the box body 101 and the cover 1041 can be cleaned and disinfected. Therefore, the height of the cover 1041 from the ground when it is in the manual opening position can be lower than the height of the cover 1041 from the ground when it is in the electric opening position, so that the operator can perform manual operation and clean and disinfect the cover 1041.

[0059] For example, referring to FIG3 , for an infant incubator equipped with a radiation assembly 103, when the cover 1041 is in the manual open position, the cover 1041 can be located between the radiation assembly 103 and the housing 101 in the height direction. When the cover 1041 is in the electric open position, the cover 1041 avoids the radiation assembly 103. This arrangement facilitates manual operation and cleaning and disinfection of the cover 1041 by the operator during cleaning and disinfection, while also ensuring that the cover 1041 avoids the radiation assembly 103 in radiation table mode.

[0060] In some embodiments, the ground clearance height of the canopy 1041 when it is in the manual opening position may also be higher than the ground clearance height of the canopy 1041 when it is in the electric opening position.

[0061] In some embodiments, the height of the cover 1041 from the ground when in the manual opening position may be the same as the height of the cover 1041 from the ground when in the electric opening position. It should be noted that when the height of the cover 1041 from the ground when in the manual opening position is the same as the height of the cover 1041 from the ground when in the electric opening position, the manual opening position and the electric opening position may be different positions. For example, when the cover 1041 is in the manual opening position and the electric opening position, only the distance between the lowest point of the cover 1041 and the horizontal plane is the same, while the distance between other parts of the cover 1041 (e.g., the highest point of the cover 1041) and the horizontal plane is different. When the height of the cover 1041 from the ground when in the manual opening position is the same as the height of the cover 1041 from the ground when in the electric opening position, the manual opening position and the electric opening position may also be the same position, that is, all parts of the cover 1041 completely overlap when in the manual opening position and when in the electric opening position.

[0062] In one embodiment, the manual operation mode can be disabled when the infant incubator is powered on. That is, only the electric operation mode can be used, not the manual operation mode. This prevents the cover 1041 from being accidentally opened manually due to both manual and electric operation modes being enabled simultaneously. Furthermore, for infant incubators where the cover 1041 is at different heights above the ground when in the manual and electric opening positions, this can also prevent the cover 1041 from being opened to the incorrect position due to the manual operation mode being used when opening the cover.

[0063] It is understandable that the infant incubator can only be operated in manual mode but not in electric mode when the power is off.

[0064] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 3 , the connecting arm 1042 can be movably connected to the support structure 102. In manual operation mode, the connecting arm 1042 can be raised and lowered relative to the housing 101 to drive the housing cover 1041 to move between a closed position and a manually opened position. In other words, in manual operation mode, the connecting arm 1042 can be raised relative to the support structure 102 under the action of an external force to drive the housing cover 1041 to open.

[0065] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 8 and 9, the connecting arm 1042 may also be rotatably disposed on the support structure 102. In the manual operation mode, the connecting arm 1042 rotates relative to the support structure 102 to drive the box cover 1041 to rotate relative to the box body 101. In other words, in the manual operation mode, the connecting arm 1042 can rotate relative to the support structure 102 under the action of an external force to drive the box cover 1041 to open.

[0066] 8 and 9 , the housing cover 1041 may also be rotatably mounted on the connecting arm 1042. In the manual operation mode, the housing cover 1041 rotates relative to the connecting arm 1042 to thereby rotate relative to the housing 101. In other words, in the manual operation mode, the housing cover 1041 can be opened by rotating relative to the connecting arm 1042 under the action of an external force.

[0067] In the manual operation mode, the box cover assembly 104 shown in Figures 8 and 9 has the connecting arm 1042 that can rotate relative to the support structure 102, and the box cover 1041 can also rotate relative to the connecting arm 1042. In other embodiments, only the connecting arm 1042 can rotate relative to the support structure 102 in the manual operation mode, while the box cover 1041 cannot rotate relative to the connecting arm 1042. Alternatively, only the box cover 1041 can rotate relative to the connecting arm 1042 in the manual operation mode, while the connecting arm 1042 cannot rotate relative to the support structure 102.

[0068] In addition, referring to Figures 8 and 9, the support structure 102 can be set on one side of the box body 101 along the first direction. For the box cover assembly 104 in which the box cover 1041 is rotatably set on the connecting arm 1042, the rotation axis of the box cover 1041 can be perpendicular to the first direction as shown in Figure 8, or can be parallel to the first direction as shown in Figure 9. That is to say, for different infant incubators, the opening direction of the box cover 1041 can be different in the manual operation mode.

[0069] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 12 and 13 , the housing cover assembly 104 may further include a position-holding switch 1043. The position-holding switch 1043 may be located at the connection between the housing cover 1041 and the connecting arm 1042, or at the connection between the connecting arm 1042 and the support structure 102. There may also be at least two position-holding switches 1043, one located at the connection between the housing cover 1041 and the connecting arm 1042, and the other located at the connection between the connecting arm 1042 and the support structure 102. The position-holding switch 1043 is used to lock the housing cover 1041 and / or the connecting arm 1042 in manual operation mode, thereby maintaining the housing cover 1041 and / or the connecting arm 1042 in the manually opened or closed position. Furthermore, the position-holding switch 1043 is used to unlock the housing cover 1041 and / or the connecting arm 1042 in manual operation mode, thereby allowing the housing cover 1041 to move between the closed position and the manually opened position. That is, depending on the different configurations, in the manual operation mode, the position holding switch 1043 can lock the box cover 1041 to keep it in the manually opened or closed position, lock the connecting arm 1042 to keep it in the manually opened or closed position, or lock both the box cover 1041 and the connecting arm 1042 to keep them in the manually opened or closed position. Furthermore, in the manual operation mode, the position holding switch 1043 can also be used to release the corresponding locks to allow the box cover 1041 to move between the closed position and the manually opened position.

[0070] By providing the position holding switch 1043 , it is possible to prevent the box cover 1041 from being opened or closed unexpectedly.

[0071] The structure of the position holding switch 1043 is not limited. For example, referring to Figures 12 and 13, the position holding switch 1043 can include a limiting member 10431 having a limiting groove 10431a, a toggle rod 10432 having a limiting block 10432a, and an elastic return member 10433. When the position holding switch 1043 is disposed at the connection between the housing cover 1041 and the connecting arm 1042, the limiting member 10431 is fixedly connected to the connecting arm 1042, and the toggle rod 10432 is fixedly connected to the housing cover 1041. When the position holding switch 1043 is disposed at the connection between the connecting arm 1042 and the support structure 102, the limiting member 10431 is fixedly connected to the support structure 102, and the toggle rod 10432 is fixedly connected to the connecting arm 1042.

[0072] Continuing with Figures 12 and 13, the toggle lever 10432 is connected to the elastic return member 10433, and the stop member 10431 is located on the side of the toggle lever 10432 facing away from the elastic return member 10433. When the position hold switch 1043 is in the locked state, the stop block 10432a extends into the stop slot 10431a. Under the action of an external force, the toggle lever 10432 can be moved away from the stop member 10431, causing the stop block 10432a to move out of the stop slot 10431a, thereby unlocking the switch. In other words, the limit block 10432a extends into the limit slot 10431a to keep the position holding switch 1043 locked. When the cover 1041 needs to be opened or closed, the operator needs to first toggle the toggle lever 10432 to move the limit block 10432a outside the limit slot 10431a. After the limit block 10432a moves outside the limit slot 10431a, the position holding switch 1043 is unlocked, and the cover 1041 can then be opened or closed normally. At this time, the elastic return member 10433 is in an elastically deformed state. When the cover 1041 moves from the closed position to the manual open position, or from the manual open position to the closed position, the limit block 10432a extends into the limit slot 10431a under the elastic force of the elastic return member 10433, and the position holding switch 1043 is switched to the locked state again.

[0073] Further, referring to Figures 12 and 13, for an infant incubator in which the cover 1041 rotates relative to the housing 101 in a manual operation mode to move between a closed position and a manually opened position, the cover assembly 104 may be provided with a rotating shaft 1045 and a torsion spring 1044. The rotating shaft 1045 and the torsion spring 1044 are used to achieve rotation of the cover 1041. The torsion spring 1044 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 1045, and the toggle rod 10432 is provided on the torsion spring 1044 to rotate synchronously with the torsion spring 1044. The limiting member 10431 has two spaced apart limiting slots 10431a. When the cover 1041 is in the manually opened position, the limiting block 10432a extends into one of the limiting slots 10431a. When the cover 1041 is in the closed position, the limiting block 10432a extends into the other limiting slot 10431a. That is to say, the toggle rod 10432 can rotate along with the torsion spring 1044 to enable the limiting member 10431 to move to the position where the corresponding limiting groove 10431a is located.

[0074] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 2, 4, and 5, the box cover 1041 can be moved between a closed position and an electrically opened position by rising and falling relative to the box body 101 in the electrically operated mode. In other words, in the electrically operated mode, the box cover 1041 can be opened by rising.

[0075] 10 and 11 , the box cover 1041 can be moved between a closed position and an electrically opened position by rotating relative to the box body 101 in an electrically operated mode. That is, in an electrically operated mode, the box cover 1041 can be opened by rotating.

[0076] In another embodiment, the box cover 1041 can be raised and lowered relative to the box body 101 and can also be rotated relative to the box body 101 in the electric operation mode.

[0077] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 14 to 18, for an infant incubator equipped with a radiation assembly 103, the driving mechanism can drive the connecting arm 1042 to extend and retract and move relative to the support structure 102, so that the box cover 1041 includes at least a straight path L moving along the second direction during the process from the closed position to the electrically opened position, and the angle between the second direction and the bottom support plane P is not less than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees.

[0078] Please refer to Figures 14 to 18. From the closed position to the electrically opened position, the movement path of the box cover 1041 has a path starting point X1 and a path end point X2. Between the path starting point X1 and the path end point X2, there is at least a straight path L moving along the second direction. That is to say, the movement path of the box cover 1041 from the closed position to the open position can be only the straight path L moving along the second direction as shown in Figure 14, or it can be a combination of the straight path L moving along the second direction and paths moving along other directions.

[0079] The angle between the second direction and the bottom support plane P can be greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees. For example, the box cover 1041 can move at least along an oblique direction with an angle greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees with the bottom support plane P as shown in Figures 14 to 17. The angle between the second direction and the bottom support plane P can also be equal to 0 degrees. For example, the box cover 1041 can also move along a horizontal direction with an angle equal to 0 degrees with the bottom support plane P as shown in Figure 18. The oblique direction refers to a direction intersecting the bottom support plane P, and the horizontal direction refers to a direction parallel to the bottom support plane P, that is, a direction parallel to the horizontal plane when the infant incubator is placed on a horizontal plane.

[0080] It should be noted that the angle formed by the second direction and the bottom supporting plane P is actually the angle formed by the straight path L and the bottom supporting plane P. When the angle between the second direction and the bottom supporting plane P is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees, the angle between the second direction and the bottom supporting plane P is equivalent to the acute angle between the projections of the straight path L on the bottom supporting plane P.

[0081] More preferably, the angle formed by the second direction and the bottom support plane P may be no less than 0 degrees and no more than 87 degrees.

[0082] In the process of the box cover 1041 moving from the closed position to the open position, by moving at least along a straight path L with an angle of not less than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees with the bottom support plane P, the movement path of the box cover 1041 can be simplified, so that the box cover 1041 can be quickly moved to a position avoiding the radiation component 103, thereby improving the opening efficiency of the box cover 1041 and enabling the infant incubator to quickly switch to the radiation table mode.

[0083] In addition, the movement of the housing cover 1041 from the electrically opened position to the closed position may include at least one section of movement path opposite to the linear path L. In other words, during the closing process of the housing cover 1041, the housing cover 1041 may at least move in the direction opposite to the linear path L to return to the closed position. This simplifies the movement path of the housing cover 1041 from the electrically opened position to the closed position.

[0084] In other embodiments, the box cover 1041 may also move along other movement paths when moving from the electrically opened position to the closed position. In other words, the box cover 1041 may not move in the direction opposite to the straight path L.

[0085] The structural form of the connecting arm 1042 is not limited, as long as it can be telescopic. For example, referring to Figures 1 to 7, the connecting arm 1042 can include a fixed sub-arm 10421 and a telescopic sub-arm 10422, wherein the fixed sub-arm 10421 is movably disposed on the support structure 102, and the telescopic sub-arm 10422 is telescopic relative to the fixed sub-arm 10421.

[0086] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 19 to 21 , the drive mechanism may include a first drive mechanism 105 and a second drive mechanism 106. The first drive mechanism 105 drives the connecting arm 1042 to extend and retract, while the second drive mechanism 106 drives the connecting arm 1042 to move relative to the support structure 102, so that the connecting arm 1042 drives the canopy 1041 to move between the closed position and the electrically opened position. In other words, the connecting arm 1042 cooperates with the first drive mechanism 105 and the second drive mechanism 106 to achieve movement of the canopy 1041 between the closed position and the electrically opened position.

[0087] The first driving mechanism 105 can drive the connecting arm 1042 to extend and retract in the diagonal direction or in the horizontal direction, and the second driving mechanism 106 can drive the connecting arm 1042 to rise and fall relative to the support structure 102 as shown in Figures 1, 2, 4 and 5, or can drive the connecting arm 1042 to rotate relative to the support structure 102 as shown in Figures 10 and 11. That is, one of the extension and retraction modes of the connecting arm 1042 in the diagonal direction or in the horizontal direction can be combined with at least one of the movement modes of the connecting arm 1042 rising and falling and / or rotating relative to the support structure 102 to realize the movement of the box cover 1041 between the closed position and the electrically opened position.

[0088] The structural form of the first driving mechanism 105 is not limited, as long as it can drive the connecting arm 1042 to extend and retract. For example, referring to Figures 19 and 20, the first driving mechanism 105 may include a first screw rod 1051, a first slider 1052, a first motor 1053 and a first guide rail 1054. Taking the connecting arm 1042 provided with a fixed sub-arm 10421 and a telescopic sub-arm 10422 as an example, the first guide rail 1054 can be provided on the fixed sub-arm 10421 and extend along the telescopic direction of the telescopic sub-arm 10422. The first slider 1052 is threadedly connected to the first screw rod 1051 and slidingly connected to the first guide rail 1054. The telescopic sub-arm 10422 is connected to the first slider 1052. The first motor 1053 is driven and connected to the first screw rod 1051. The first motor 1053 drives the first screw rod 1051 to rotate, causing the second slider 1062 to move linearly, thereby driving the telescopic sub-arm 10422 to extend and retract. In other words, the first driving mechanism 105 can use screw transmission to drive the connecting arm 1042 to extend and retract.

[0089] In other embodiments, the first driving mechanism 105 may also include a first pulley assembly and a second motor, wherein the first pulley assembly includes two first pulleys and a first transmission belt wound around the two first pulleys. The two first pulleys are disposed on the fixed sub-arm 10421 and are spaced apart along the extension and retraction direction of the telescopic sub-arm 10422. The connecting arm 1042 is connected to the first transmission belt, and the second motor is driven and connected to one of the two first pulleys. The second motor drives the first pulley to rotate, causing the first transmission belt to drive the telescopic sub-arm 10422 to extend and retract. In other words, the first driving mechanism 105 can utilize pulley transmission to drive the connecting arm 1042 to extend and retract.

[0090] The structural form of the second driving mechanism 106 is not limited, as long as it can drive the connecting arm 1042 to move relative to the support structure 102. For the second driving mechanism 106 that drives the connecting arm 1042 to move relative to the support structure 102, as an example, please refer to Figure 21. The second driving mechanism 106 may include a second screw rod 1061, a second slider 1062, a third motor 1063, and a second guide rail 1064. The second guide rail 1064 is arranged on the support structure 102 and extends along the height direction of the support structure 102. The second slider 1062 is threadedly connected to the second screw rod 1061 and is slidably connected to the second guide rail 1064. The connecting arm 1042 is connected to the second slider 1062. The second motor is driven by the second screw rod 1061. The second motor drives the second screw rod 1061 to rotate, so that the second slider 1062 drives the connecting arm 1042 to move up and down. In other words, the second driving mechanism 106 can use a screw transmission to drive the connecting arm 1042 to move up and down.

[0091] In other embodiments, the second drive mechanism 106 may also include a second pulley assembly and a fourth motor. The second pulley assembly includes two second pulleys and a second transmission belt wound around the two second pulleys. The two second pulleys are spaced apart along the height direction of the support structure 102. The connecting arm 1042 is connected to the second transmission belt. The fourth motor is drivingly connected to one of the two second pulleys. The fourth motor drives the second pulley to rotate, causing the second transmission belt to drive the connecting arm 1042 to move up and down. In other words, the second drive mechanism 106 can utilize a pulley drive to drive the connecting arm 1042 to move up and down.

[0092] As for the second driving mechanism 106 that drives the connecting arm 1042 to rotate relative to the supporting structure 102 , the second driving mechanism 106 may include a torque motor, for example.

[0093] In addition, for the infant incubator in which the second driving mechanism 106 drives the connecting arm 1042 to rise and fall relative to the support structure 102, preferably, referring to Figures 1 to 5, the box cover 1041 can be fixedly connected to the telescopic sub-arm 10422, that is, the box cover 1041 will not move relative to the telescopic sub-arm 10422.

[0094] For an infant incubator in which the second driving mechanism 106 drives the connecting arm 1042 to rotate relative to the supporting structure 102, preferably, referring to Figures 10 and 11, the box cover 1041 can be rotatably connected to the telescopic sub-arm 10422, that is, the box cover 1041 can be rotated relative to the telescopic sub-arm 10422 so that the box cover 1041 can be in a more suitable position after being opened.

[0095] Regarding an infant incubator in which the second drive mechanism 106 drives the connecting arm 1042 to rise and / or rotate relative to the support structure 102, refer to Figures 10 and 11 . The housing cover 1041 can be rotatably connected to the telescopic sub-arm 10422. The connecting arm 1042 can rise and / or rotate relative to the support structure 102, and the housing cover 1041 can rotate relative to the telescopic sub-arm 10422. For example, the second drive mechanism 106 can further include a first drive structure and a second drive structure. The first drive structure drives the housing cover 1041 to rotate relative to the telescopic sub-arm 10422. The first drive structure can be a torque motor, etc., and the second drive structure drives the connecting arm 1042 to rise and fall relative to the support structure 102.

[0096] Further, taking the example where the angle between the second direction and the bottom support plane P is greater than 0 degrees and less than 87 degrees, in one embodiment, please refer to Figures 14 to 17. For an infant incubator in which the second drive mechanism 106 drives the connecting arm 1042 to rise and fall relative to the support structure 102, when the box cover 1041 is in the closed position, the position of the connecting arm 1042 on the support structure 102 is the rising starting position, and when the box cover 1041 is in the open position, the position of the connecting arm 1042 on the support structure 102 is the rising end position. In other words, the rising starting position and the rising end position are the starting point and the end point of the rising and falling of the connecting arm 1042 along the support structure 102.

[0097] Continuing to refer to Figures 14 to 17, the second drive mechanism 106 can drive the connecting arm 1042 to continuously rise from the rising starting position to the rising end position, and the first drive mechanism 105 can drive the connecting arm 1042 to extend during at least a portion of the time period during which the connecting arm 1042 is continuously rising. In other words, from the rising starting position to the rising end position, the connecting arm 1042 continues to rise, and the connecting arm 1042 also extends during the rising process, which is equivalent to the connecting arm 1042 extending and simultaneously rising. In addition, the connecting arm 1042 can extend and retract in both the oblique direction and the horizontal direction.

[0098] For example, referring to FIG14 , while the second driving mechanism 106 drives the connecting arm 1042 to continuously ascend from the ascending starting position to the ascending ending position, the first driving mechanism 105 drives the connecting arm 1042 to continuously extend. During the process of the connecting arm 1042 continuously ascending from the ascending starting position to the ascending ending position, the movement path of the canopy 1041 is a straight path L along the second direction. In other words, throughout the entire ascending process of the connecting arm 1042, the connecting arm 1042 is continuously extended, and the movement path of the canopy 1041 is simply a straight path L along the first direction, which is equivalent to the movement path of the canopy 1041 being the oblique line shown in FIG14 .

[0099] For example, please refer to Figure 15. In the process of the second driving mechanism 106 driving the connecting arm 1042 to continuously rise from the rising starting position to the rising end position, when the connecting arm 1042 rises to the first set position before reaching the rising end position, the first driving mechanism 105 drives the connecting arm 1042 to continuously extend until the connecting arm 1042 rises to the rising end position, and the connecting arm 1042 stops extending. In the process of the connecting arm 1042 continuously rising from the first set position to the rising end position, the movement path of the box cover 1041 is a straight path L along the second direction. That is to say, before the connecting arm 1042 rises to the first set position, the connecting arm 1042 does not extend. When the connecting arm 1042 reaches the first set position, the connecting arm 1042 extends until the connecting arm 1042 rises to the rising end position, and the connecting arm 1042 stops extending. This is equivalent to the connecting arm 1042 continuously extending from the first set position to the rising end position. The movement path of the box cover 1041 is a combination of a vertical line and a diagonal line shown in Figure 15, wherein the diagonal line is a straight line path L moving along the second direction.

[0100] For example, please refer to Figure 16. In the process of the second driving mechanism 106 driving the connecting arm 1042 to continuously rise from the rising starting position to the rising end position, when the second driving mechanism 106 drives the connecting arm 1042 to continuously rise from the rising starting position, the first driving mechanism 105 can also drive the connecting arm 1042 to continuously extend. When the connecting arm 1042 rises to the first set position before the rising end position, the first driving mechanism 105 stops driving the connecting arm 1042 to extend. In the process of the connecting arm 1042 from the rising starting position to the first set position of continuous rise, the movement path of the box cover 1041 is a straight path along the second direction. That is to say, before the connecting arm 1042 rises to the first set position, the connecting arm 1042 continues to extend. When the connecting arm 1042 reaches the first set position, the connecting arm 1042 stops extending. From the first set position to the rising end position, the connecting arm 1042 only rises without extending. The movement path of the box cover 1041 is a combination of a diagonal line and a vertical line shown in Figure 16, wherein the diagonal line is a straight line path L moving along the second direction.

[0101] For example, please refer to Figure 17. In the process of the second driving mechanism 106 driving the connecting arm 1042 to continuously rise from the rising starting position to the rising end position, when the connecting arm 1042 rises to the first set position before reaching the rising end position, the first driving mechanism 105 drives the connecting arm 1042 to continuously extend until the connecting arm 1042 rises to the second set position between the first set position and the rising end position, and the connecting arm 1042 stops extending. In the process of the connecting arm 1042 continuously rising from the first set position to the second set position, the movement path of the box cover 1041 is a straight path L along the second direction. That is to say, before the connecting arm 1042 rises to the first set position, the connecting arm 1042 does not extend. When the connecting arm 1042 reaches the first set position, the connecting arm 1042 extends. When the connecting arm 1042 rises to the second set position, the connecting arm 1042 stops extending again. From the second set position to the rising end position, the connecting arm 1042 only rises without extending, which is equivalent to the connecting arm 1042 continuously extending only between the first set position and the second set position. The movement path of the box cover 1041 is a combination of the two vertical lines and one oblique line shown in Figure 17, and the two vertical lines are located at opposite ends of the oblique line, wherein the oblique line is a straight path L moving along the second direction.

[0102] In another embodiment, during the process of switching the cover 1041 from the closed position to the open position, the second drive mechanism 106 may also drive the connecting arm 1042 to rise intermittently, and the first drive mechanism 105 may drive the connecting arm 1042 to extend at least during the period in which the connecting arm 1042 stops rising. In other words, the connecting arm 1042 may not rise continuously. The connecting arm 1042 may stop rising after reaching a set position, and during the period in which the connecting arm 1042 stops rising, the connecting arm 1042 extends diagonally. After the period in which the connecting arm 1042 stops rising ends and the connecting arm 1042 resumes rising, the connecting arm 1042 may continue to extend diagonally or may stop extending. Furthermore, the connecting arm 1042 may stop rising only once or multiple times from the closed position to the open position, but the connecting arm 1042 will at least extend diagonally during the period in which it stops rising.

[0103] For example, the second drive mechanism 106 can drive the connecting arm 1042 to rise and fall relative to the support structure 102. When the canopy 1041 is in the closed position, the position of the connecting arm 1042 on the support structure 102 is the rising starting position, and when the canopy 1041 is in the open position, the position of the connecting arm 1042 on the support structure 102 is the rising end position. After the second drive mechanism 106 drives the connecting arm 1042 to rise from the rising starting position to the rising end position, it stops driving the connecting arm 1042 upward. Then, the first drive mechanism 105 drives the connecting arm 1042 to extend in the second direction until the canopy 1041 reaches the open position. The angle formed by the second direction and the bottom support plane P is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees.

[0104] In another embodiment, for an infant incubator in which the second drive mechanism 106 drives the connecting arm 1042 to rotate relative to the support structure 102, as illustrated in Figures 10 and 11, during the transition of the cover 1041 from the closed position to the open position, the second drive mechanism 106 can drive the connecting arm 1042 to continuously rotate. The first drive mechanism 105 can extend the connecting arm 1042 during at least a portion of the time period during which the connecting arm 1042 continues to rotate. During the extension of the connecting arm 1042, the movement path of the cover 1041 is a linear path L along the second direction. In other words, from the starting point to the end point of the rotation of the connecting arm 1042, the connecting arm 1042 continuously rotates, and the connecting arm 1042 extends during the rotation process, which is equivalent to the connecting arm 1042 rotating simultaneously with its extension. Furthermore, the connecting arm 1042 can extend and retract diagonally or horizontally.

[0105] For example, during the process of switching the cover 1041 from the closed position to the open position, the second drive mechanism 106 drives the connecting arm 1042 to rotate intermittently, and the first drive mechanism 105 drives the connecting arm 1042 to extend in the second direction at least during the period in which the connecting arm 1042 stops rotating. In other words, the connecting arm 1042 may not rotate continuously. The connecting arm 1042 may stop rotating after rotating to a set position, and then extend during the period in which the connecting arm 1042 stops rotating. After the period in which the connecting arm 1042 stops rotating ends and the connecting arm 1042 resumes rotating, the connecting arm 1042 may continue to extend or stop extending. For example, the first driving mechanism 105 may drive the connecting arm 1042 to extend in the second direction to a first set length, and then the second driving mechanism 106 may drive the connecting arm 1042 to rotate until the box cover 1041 reaches the open position. Alternatively, the second driving mechanism 106 may drive the connecting arm 1042 to rotate by a first set angle and then stop driving the connecting arm 1042 to rotate, and then the first driving mechanism 105 may drive the connecting arm 1042 to extend in the second direction until the box cover 1041 reaches the open position.

[0106] In addition, it should be noted that, from the closed position to the open position, the connecting arm 1042 may stop rotating only once or multiple times, but the connecting arm 1042 will at least extend during the period of stopping rotating.

[0107] Taking the example of a first direction parallel to the bottom support plane P, in one embodiment, as shown in FIG18 , the connecting arm 1042 can extend and retract horizontally, with the second drive mechanism 106 driving the connecting arm 1042 to rise and fall relative to the support structure 102. During the process of switching the cover 1041 from the closed position to the open position, the second drive mechanism 106 drives the connecting arm 1042 to rise intermittently, while the first drive mechanism 105 drives the connecting arm 1042 to extend at least during the period when the connecting arm 1042 stops rising. In other words, the connecting arm 1042 may stop rising after reaching a set position, and during the period when the connecting arm 1042 stops rising, the connecting arm 1042 extends horizontally. After the period of stopping rising ends and the connecting arm 1042 resumes rising, the connecting arm 1042 may continue to extend horizontally or cease extending. Furthermore, the connecting arm 1042 may stop rising only once or multiple times from the closed position to the open position, but the connecting arm 1042 will at least extend horizontally during the period when it stops rising.

[0108] For example, please refer to Figure 18. When the second driving mechanism 106 drives the connecting arm 1042 to rise to the first set position before reaching the rising end position, the connecting arm 1042 stops rising, and the first driving mechanism 105 drives the connecting arm 1042 to extend in the horizontal direction. When the time period in which the connecting arm 1042 stops rising ends, the connecting arm 1042 stops extending, and the connecting arm 1042 continues to rise from the first set position to the rising end position. From the first set position to the rising end position, the connecting arm 1042 remains in a stopped extended state. The movement path of the box cover 1041 is a combination of the two vertical lines shown in Figure 18 and a horizontal line extending in the horizontal direction. The two vertical lines are located at opposite ends of the horizontal line, wherein the horizontal line is a straight path L moving along the first direction.

[0109] In another embodiment, the second drive mechanism 106 can also drive the connecting arm 1042 to rotate relative to the support structure 102. During the process of switching the cover 1041 from the closed position to the open position, the second drive mechanism 106 drives the connecting arm 1042 to rotate intermittently, and the first drive mechanism 105 drives the connecting arm 1042 to extend in the second direction during the period when the connecting arm 1042 stops rotating. In other words, the connecting arm 1042 can stop rotating after rotating to a certain set position. It is understood that the set position is a position where the connecting arm 1042 can extend horizontally. During the period when the connecting arm 1042 stops rotating, the connecting arm 1042 extends horizontally. After the period of stop rotating ends and the connecting arm 1042 resumes rotating, the connecting arm 1042 can continue to extend or stop extending. In addition, the connecting arm 1042 can stop rotating only once or multiple times from the closed position to the open position, but the connecting arm 1042 can extend horizontally at at least one position where it stops rotating.

[0110] The present application is not limited to the above-described embodiments. In short, in some embodiments, during one portion of the motion path from the electrically open position to the closed position, the connecting arm 1042 can simultaneously extend and retract diagonally or horizontally while simultaneously lifting and / or rotating relative to the support structure 102. In another embodiment, the connecting arm 1042 can extend and retract only diagonally. In another embodiment, the connecting arm 1042 can simultaneously extend and retract diagonally or horizontally during one portion of the motion path while simultaneously lifting and / or rotating relative to the support structure 102, while extending and retracting only diagonally or horizontally during another portion of the motion path. In another embodiment, the connecting arm 1042 can simultaneously extend and retract diagonally or horizontally during one portion of the motion path while simultaneously lifting and / or rotating relative to the support structure 102 during another portion of the motion path. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the paths illustrated in Figures 5 to 9 may represent only a portion of the entire motion path from the closed position to the electrically open position. Furthermore, Figures 5 to 9 are merely examples and do not illustrate all possible paths. The present application may include other combinations of paths.

[0111] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 19 and 20 , the infant incubator may further include a first position detection sensor 107 on the connecting arm 1042. The first position detection sensor 107 is used to detect the starting position and / or the end position of the connecting arm 1042. That is, depending on the configuration, the first position detection sensor 107 may detect only the starting position of the connecting arm 1042, only the end position of the connecting arm 1042, or both the starting position and the end position of the connecting arm 1042. For example, two first position detection sensors 107 may be provided, one for detecting the starting position of the connecting arm 1042 and one for detecting the end position of the connecting arm 1042. By detecting the starting position and / or the end position of the connecting arm 1042, the first position detection sensor 107 can ensure that the connecting arm 1042 is fully retracted and / or extended.

[0112] In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 21 , the infant incubator may further include a second position detection sensor 108 on the support structure 102. The second position detection sensor 108 is configured to detect the starting position and / or the end position of the movement of the connecting arm 1042 relative to the support structure 102. That is, depending on the configuration, the second position detection sensor 108 may detect only the starting position of the movement of the connecting arm 1042 relative to the support structure 102, or only the end position of the movement of the connecting arm 1042 relative to the support structure 102, or may detect both the starting position and the end position of the movement of the connecting arm 1042 relative to the support structure 102 (for example, two second position detection sensors 108 may be provided, one for detecting the starting position of the movement of the connecting arm 1042 relative to the support structure 102, and one for detecting the end position of the movement of the connecting arm 1042 relative to the support structure 102). The second position detection sensor 108 can ensure that the connecting arm 1042 moves into position by detecting the starting position and / or the ending position of the movement of the connecting arm 1042 relative to the supporting structure 102.

[0113] In one embodiment, referring to Figures 1 to 5, the infant incubator can be provided with an open switch 109 and a closed switch 110. The open switch 109 is used to control the opening of the box cover 1041 in the electric operation mode, and the closed switch 110 is used to control the closing of the box cover 1041 in the electric operation mode. That is to say, two switches can be provided to respectively control the opening and closing of the box cover 1041 in the electric operation mode. Thus, in the electric operation mode, the box cover 1041 can be better prevented from closing due to misoperation after being opened.

[0114] For example, referring to Figures 1 to 5, the infant incubator includes a base 111 disposed at the bottom of the box body 101, and the opening switch 109 can be a foot switch disposed on the base 111. In other words, the box cover 1041 can be opened by stepping on the foot switch, thereby improving the convenience of opening the box cover 1041.

[0115] For example, referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5 , the closing switch 110 may be a physical switch provided on the support structure 102 , or the closing switch 110 may be a touch switch provided on a display screen 112 of the infant incubator.

[0116] In addition, during the movement of the box cover 1041 between the open position and the closed position, and during the process of switching the box cover 1041 from the open position to the closed position, the closing switch 110 can also stop the movement of the box cover 1041 by controlling the first drive mechanism 105 and the second drive mechanism 106 to stop working.

[0117] In other words, the closing switch 110 can be used to enable the box cover 1041 to stay at a position between the electrically opened position and the closed position. The movement process of the box cover 1041 between the electrically opened position and the closed position can be either the movement process of the box cover 1041 switching from the electrically opened position to the closed position or the movement process of the box cover 1041 switching from the closed position to the electrically opened position. For example, during the process of closing the box cover 1041, the closing switch 110 can be kept pressed or touched. Before the box cover 1041 reaches the closed position, if the closing switch 110 is released, the first drive mechanism 105 and the second drive mechanism 106 stop working and the box cover 1041 stops moving.
