[0053] In order to store materials at a constant temperature, in the related art, the staff put a water bottle containing a liquid at a temperature of 50°C - 70°C in the box, and separated the water bottle and the materials by foam, so that the water bottle containing the liquid can keep the materials in the box warm. However, this requires replacing the liquid in the water bottle in time after the temperature of the liquid drops, otherwise the materials cannot be kept warm.

[0054] An embodiment of the present application provides an incubator that can continuously provide a constant temperature environment for materials. The incubator includes a box body and a cover body. The box body has an opening, and the cover body is rotatably connected to the outer shell. The cover body is used to close or open the opening. The box body includes an outer shell, an inner shell, and an interlayer. The inner shell is disposed inside the outer shell, and the inner shell is spaced apart from the outer shell to form a gap. The inner shell forms a storage cavity and is provided with a plurality of through holes. The storage cavity is used to accommodate materials, and the plurality of through holes communicate the storage cavity and the gap; the interlayer is disposed in the gap, and the interlayer includes a heating layer, a reflective layer, and a heat insulation layer arranged in sequence from the inner shell towards the outer shell. The heating layer is used to generate heat, the reflective layer is used to reflect heat towards the storage cavity, and the heat insulation layer is used to retain the heat inside the outer shell.

[0055] In the above-mentioned incubator, the inner shell is installed through the outer shell to form a gap capable of accommodating the interlayer. The storage cavity formed by the inner shell can accommodate materials. The reflective layer in the interlayer can reflect the heat generated by the heating layer towards the storage cavity, so that the heat is transferred to the storage cavity through the through holes, thereby providing a constant temperature environment for the materials in the storage cavity. The heat insulation layer can separate the reflective layer and the outer shell to retain the heat inside the outer shell, thereby insulating the outer shell and making the temperature in the storage cavity not easy to drop, which is beneficial to the temperature constancy in the storage cavity. The following further describes the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in, an embodiment of the present application provides an incubator 100. The incubator 100 includes a box body 10 and a cover body 20. The box body 10 has an opening. The cover body 20 is rotatably connected to the box body 10 to close or open the opening.

[0057] In some embodiments, the outer side of the box body 10 and the cover body 20 are rotatably connected through a hinge 30 so that the cover body 20 can rotate relative to the box body 10. In addition, the box body 10 and the cover body 20 can also be rotatably connected through a hinge.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 4In some embodiments, the box body 10 includes an outer shell 11, an inner shell 12 and an interlayer 13. The inner shell 12 is disposed in the outer shell 11. The inner shell 12 forms a storage cavity 1201. The storage cavity 1201 is used to contain materials. The cover body 20 is rotatably connected to the side of the outer shell 11 away from the inner shell 12. By rotating and opening the cover body 20, an opening can be exposed so that materials can be placed in the storage cavity 1201 or materials in the storage cavity 1201 can be taken out; by rotating and closing the cover body 20, the opening can be closed to provide a constant temperature environment for the materials in the storage cavity 1201. The inner shell 12 is provided with a plurality of through holes 123, and the inner shell 12 is spaced from the outer shell 11 to form a gap. The plurality of through holes 123 connect the storage cavity 1201 and the gap, so that the gap is connected to the storage cavity 1201 through the through holes 123. The interlayer 13 includes a heating layer 131, a reflection layer 132 and a heat preservation layer 133 arranged in sequence from the inner shell 12 to the outer shell 11. The heating layer 131 is used to generate heat. The reflecting layer 132 is used to reflect heat toward the storage cavity 1201, so that the heat generated by the heating layer 131 is reflected by the reflecting layer 132 through the through hole 123 to the storage cavity 1201, thereby providing a constant temperature environment for the material in the storage cavity 1201. The heat-insulating layer 133 is used to retain heat in the housing 11, thereby insulating the housing 11, making it difficult for the temperature in the storage cavity 1201 to drop, which is conducive to keeping the temperature in the storage cavity 1201 constant.

[0059] Therefore, the thermostat 100 accommodates the material through the storage cavity 1201, and provides heat and insulation to the storage cavity 1201 through the interlayer 13, so as to continuously provide a constant temperature environment for the material. Wherein, the material is a product with adhesive backing, and the product is accommodated in the storage cavity 1201 with a constant temperature, which can activate the adhesive backing and is beneficial to the subsequent processing of the product.

[0060] Please also read Figure 3 In some embodiments, the inner shell 12 includes an inner bottom plate 121 and an inner side plate 122. The inner side plates 122 are connected to the inner bottom plate 121, and the inner side plates 122 and the inner bottom plate 121 together form a storage cavity 1201. The outer shell 11 includes an outer bottom plate 111 and an outer side plate 112. The cover body 20 is rotatably connected to the outer side plate 112. The outer side plate 112 is connected to the outer bottom plate 111. The outer bottom plate 111 and the inner bottom plate 121 are spaced apart. The outer side plate 112 and the inner side plate 122 are spaced apart. The inner bottom plate 121, the inner side plate 122, the outer bottom plate 111, the outer side plate 112 and the cover body 20 together form a gap, so that the gap can surround the inner shell 12 and the bottom of the inner shell 12. The interlayer 13 fills the gap, the heating layer 131 is connected to the inner shell 12, and the insulation layer 133 is connected to the outer shell 11. The interlayer 13 surrounds the inner shell 12 and the bottom of the inner shell 12, and can provide heat to the storage cavity 1201 from the surrounding and bottom, so that the temperature in the storage cavity 1201 is uniform, thereby providing a uniform and constant temperature environment for the material.

[0061] See alsoFigures 1 to 3 In some embodiments, the outer shell 11 is a rectangular housing, and the outer side plates 112 enclose a rectangular space on the outer bottom plate 111. The inner side plates 122 enclose a rectangular storage cavity 1201 on the inner bottom plate 121 to accommodate materials.

[0062] In some embodiments, the outer shell 11 may be configured as a polygonal housing or a columnar housing.

[0063] In some embodiments, handles 60 are provided on opposite sides of the outer side plates 112 and at the top of the cover plate. So that the incubator 100 can be lifted by the handles 60 on both sides of the outer side plates 112. It can also be lifted with one hand by the handle 60 at the top of the cover plate.

[0064] In some embodiments, the thicknesses of the inner shell 12 and the outer shell 11 are 5 mm - 10 mm and are configured as an insulating structure. The appropriate thicknesses of the outer shell 11 and the inner shell 12 make the structure of the incubator 100 firm, capable of carrying materials and transferring the materials by moving the incubator 100. Configuring the inner shell 12 and the outer shell 11 as an insulating structure can achieve the effects of insulation and fire prevention, making the safety performance of the incubator 100 better.

[0065] In some embodiments, the thicknesses of the inner shell 12 and the outer shell 11 are 7 mm, and the materials of the inner shell 12 and the outer shell 11 are electrical insulating boards. Electrical insulating boards are commonly used in the power system, have relatively high mechanical strength, are easy to process and form, have low costs, can withstand a certain amount of pressure and load, are not easily deformed or damaged during use, and can ensure the strength of the incubator 100. Electrical insulating boards also have good electrical insulation performance, can effectively prevent current leakage, and ensure electrical safety. They also have good flame retardant performance, can slow down or prevent the spread of fire, and reduce the fire risk. Therefore, applying electrical insulating boards to the incubator 100 gives the incubator 100 good safety performance.

[0066] In some embodiments, the cover plate is configured as an insulating structure. Specifically, the material of the cover plate is an electrical insulating board.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in some embodiments, the size of the through holes 123 is 3 mm - 5 mm, so that heat can enter the storage cavity 1201 through the through holes 123.

[0068] The through holes 123 are evenly distributed on the inner side plates 122 and the inner bottom plate 121, so that heat can enter the storage cavity 1201 from the bottom and around the storage cavity 1201, making the temperature of the storage cavity 1201 uniform.

[0069] In some embodiments, the size of the through holes 123 is 4 mm, which can enable heat to enter the storage cavity 1201 through the through holes 123 without damaging the mechanical strength of the inner shell 12. Please refer toFigure 4 In some embodiments, the heating layer 131 is an electric heating wire layer. The electric heating wire layer can generate heat. The electric heating wire layer converts electrical energy into heat energy through the electric heating wire, thereby providing heat for the storage cavity 1201.

[0070] In some embodiments, the reflective layer 132 is a tin foil layer. The tin foil layer can reflect heat and reflect the heat generated by the electric heating layer into the storage cavity 1201.

[0071] The material of the reflective layer 132 is tin foil paper. The tin foil paper reflects the heat generated by the electric heating layer towards the inner shell 12, thereby maintaining the temperature of the inner shell 12 and achieving the heat preservation effect on the inner shell 12, which is beneficial to the temperature constancy in the storage cavity 1201.

[0072] In some embodiments, the heat insulation layer 133 is a fireproof foam layer. The fireproof foam layer can retain heat within the outer shell 11, thereby insulating the inner shell 12, which is beneficial to the temperature constancy in the storage cavity 1201.

[0073] The material of the heat insulation layer 133 is fireproof foam. The fireproof foam has fireproof and heat insulation properties. It can insulate the inner shell 12 while also preventing the spread of fire, improving the safety performance of the incubator 100.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the incubator 100 further includes a control module 40. The control module 40 includes a control panel 41, a thermostat 42, and a sensing probe 43. The control panel 41 and the sensing probe 43 are both electrically connected to the thermostat 42. The control panel 41 enables the thermostat 42 to control the operation of the heating layer 131. The sensing probe 43 and the thermostat 42 are both electrically connected to the heating layer 131. The sensing probe 43 is used to sense the temperature of the heating layer 131 and display the temperature of the heating layer 131 through the control panel 41.

[0075] By disposing the control panel 41 on the side of the outer shell 11 facing away from the inner shell 12, it is convenient to observe the temperature sensed by the sensing probe 43 through the control panel 41 to obtain the temperature of the storage cavity 1201; it is also convenient to preset the heating temperature of the heating layer 131 through the control panel 41 to control the temperature in the storage cavity 1201.

[0076] In some embodiments, the control panel 41 is electrically connected to the thermostat 42, the thermostat 42 is electrically connected to the sensing probe 43, and the thermostat 42 is electrically connected to the heating layer 131 through wires. Please refer to Figure 3, the outer shell 11 includes a first chamber 101 and a second chamber 102 which are spaced apart. The first chamber 101 is used to accommodate the inner shell 12 and the interlayer 13. The inner shell 12 is connected to the first chamber 101 through the interlayer 13, so that the interlayer 13 can keep the inner shell 12 warm and the temperature in the storage chamber 1201 is not likely to change. The second chamber 102 is used to accommodate the thermostat 42 and the wires to house the thermostat 42 and the wires.

[0077] By accommodating the thermostat 42 in the second chamber 102, the thermostat 42 and the storage chamber 1201 can be separated, preventing the thermostat 42 from being exposed or housed in the storage chamber 1201, which may cause the thermostat 42 to overheat, protecting the thermostat 42 and extending the service life of the incubator 100.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in some embodiments, a top cover 113 is provided on the top of the second chamber 102. The top cover 113 is used to close the second chamber 102 to prevent the thermostat 42 and the storage chamber 1201 from being exposed.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the incubator 100 further includes a microswitch 51 and a temperature sensor 52. The microswitch 51 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 52. The microswitch 51 is provided on the side of the outer shell 11 away from the inner shell 12 for manual operation by the user. The temperature sensor 52 is used to sense the temperature of the heating layer 131 and control the microswitch 51 to close. The temperature sensor 52 uses the principle of thermal expansion and contraction to convert the sensed temperature into a pressure change and push the contact to actuate to control the closing or opening of the microswitch 51.

[0080] When the control panel 41 fails and the temperature in the storage chamber 1201 exceeds the preset temperature, the temperature sensor 52 senses the abnormal temperature and automatically controls the microswitch 51 to operate, thereby cutting off the power supply, which is beneficial to improving the safety performance of the incubator 100 and preventing the materials in the storage chamber 1201 from being abnormal due to excessive temperature.

[0081] In some embodiments, the incubator 100 can be powered by a battery. The incubator 100 can also be powered by being electrically connected to a power supply.

[0082] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be covered within the disclosure scope of the present application.
