[0029] Animal care chambers are commonly used in scenarios such as post-operative recovery and intensive care. They typically feature temperature and humidity control. Some also include oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration control, infrared radiation, and ultraviolet sterilization.

[0030] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 10 The present application provides an animal care chamber 1, which includes a containing box 10 and a quick-release backpack 20, and the quick-release backpack 20 is detachably arranged on the containing box 10. The containing box 10 has at least two air duct connection holes 11 and a containing space 12. The containing space 12 is used to contain animals. The quick-release backpack 20 includes an air duct assembly 21 and a temperature control system (not shown in the figure). The temperature control system includes part or all of the heating assembly, part or all of the refrigeration assembly, and a circulating fan. The air duct assembly 21 is connected to the containing space 12 through at least two air duct connection holes 11. At least part of the refrigeration assembly, at least part of the heating assembly and the circulating fan are arranged in the air duct assembly 21. The heating assembly can be a PTC heater. The refrigeration assembly can include a condenser, an evaporator and a compressor.

[0031] The quick-release backpack 20 of the present application is detachably connected to the housing 10. The quick-release backpack 20 includes a heating component and a cooling component. Therefore, if a humidity or temperature control failure occurs in the animal care chamber 1, the quick-release backpack 20 can be easily removed for maintenance. Furthermore, this structure allows for direct replacement of the quick-release backpack 20 in the event of a corresponding equipment failure.

[0032] The main purpose of the air duct assembly 21 is to form an air duct so that the air in the accommodating space 12 can enter the air duct for heating and / or cooling. The heating assembly and the cooling assembly can share an air duct, or they can use independent air ducts respectively. This application does not impose specific restrictions. When the heating assembly and the cooling assembly are arranged in the same air duct, the evaporator of the cooling assembly can be arranged in the air duct assembly 21, thereby reducing the volume. When the heating assembly and the cooling assembly are respectively arranged in independent air ducts, a separate circulation fan can be provided inside each air duct.

[0033] Of course, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the air duct can be formed directly inside the quick-release backpack 20. That is, the air duct assembly 21 inside the quick-release backpack 20 is sufficient to form the air duct. Such an air duct assembly 21 has at least two interfaces 211, and the at least two interfaces 211 are respectively connected to at least two air duct connection holes 11. Alternatively, the air duct can also be formed by the combination of the quick-release backpack 20 and the storage box 10. For example, when the air duct assembly 21 is assembled in the storage box 10, the air duct assembly 21 and the side walls of the storage box 10 jointly define the air duct. Such an air duct assembly 21 does not necessarily need to form an interface 211, and will be connected to the interior of the storage space 12 through the two air duct connection holes 11.

[0034] According to one embodiment of the present application, at least a portion of the cooling assembly (e.g., the evaporator), the heating assembly, and the circulating fan are disposed within the same air duct assembly 21. Compared to a solution in which the cooling assembly and the heating assembly each use separate air ducts, the cooling assembly, the heating assembly, and the circulating fan share the same air duct. This allows the air within the air duct to be directly heated and / or cooled to a desired temperature before being input into the storage space 12, thereby achieving a more uniform temperature distribution within the storage space 12. If the cooling assembly and the heating assembly each use separate air ducts, the two air ducts will generate hot air and cold air, respectively. The hot air and cold air will mix in the storage space 12, which can easily lead to problems such as uneven temperature distribution and temperature stratification.

[0035] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4, at least two air duct connection holes 11 include a first connection hole 111 and a second connection hole 112. At least two interfaces 211 include a first interface 212 and a second interface 213. The first connection hole 111 and the first interface 212 are docked. The second connection hole 112 and the second interface 213 are docked. Compared with the solution in which the air duct assembly 21 is assembled in the housing box 10 to form an air duct, and is connected to the housing space 12 through the air duct connection hole 11, the air duct assembly 21 is docked with the first connection hole 111 and the second connection hole 112 through the first interface 212 and the second interface 213, which improves the air leakage problem and improves the sealing performance.

[0036] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The interface 211 can be provided with an elastic sealing ring 214, which is embedded in the air duct connection hole 11. This improves the airtightness when the air duct connection hole 11 and the interface 211 are connected. The elastic sealing ring 214 can be made of rubber. The elastic sealing ring 214 protrudes outward from the quick-release backpack 20 and includes a neck 215 and a cap 216. The outer edge of the cap 216 is located outside the outer edge of the neck 215. This structure can further reduce the possibility of air leakage when the elastic sealing ring 214 is embedded in the air duct connection hole 11.

[0037] See also Figure 10 The quick-release backpack 20 includes a mounting base 24, air duct side panels 25, an air duct cover 26, and a sealed housing 27. The air duct side panels 25 and the air duct cover 26 are arranged on the mounting base 24 to form the air duct assembly 21. This makes it convenient to set devices such as a heating component and / or a cooling component inside the air duct assembly 21. The sealed housing 27 is arranged on the mounting base 24 and forms a protective space for accommodating the air duct assembly 21. This is more aesthetically pleasing and can also avoid the risk of the user directly contacting the heating component or the cooling component. The above-mentioned connecting wall 23 can be part of the mounting base 24.

[0038] At least one of the air duct side plate 25 and the sealing housing 27 may be riveted to the mounting base plate 24. This can improve mounting efficiency.

[0039] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 The two side walls of the sealed housing 27 adjacent to the mounting base 24 are provided with handles 271 for the operator to hold when removing or installing the quick-release backpack 20. The handles 271 can be stepped protrusions, grooves, or handles, and are mainly used to provide a force point for the user to lift the quick-release backpack 20. The form is not specifically limited.

[0040] See also Figure 5The quick-release backpack 20 includes a hook portion 22. The hook portion 22 primarily facilitates installation and removal of the quick-release backpack 20. The hook portion 22 can be mounted on the mounting base 24 or integrally formed with the mounting base 24. Without the hook portion 22, removing or installing the quick-release backpack 20 may require multiple personnel, with some lifting or maintaining the backpack while others complete the installation, which is very inconvenient. The hook portion 22, however, can be attached to the housing 10 during installation or removal, temporarily supporting or securing the quick-release backpack 20 and enabling fewer operators to complete installation and removal.

[0041] See also Figure 6 The hook portion 22 is tilted relative to the contact surface between the storage box 10 and the quick-release backpack 20. The storage box 10 has a hooking ledge 13. The outer edge 131 of the hooking ledge 13 is higher than its inner area 132. This makes it easier for the hook portion 22 to hook onto it and reduces the possibility of the quick-release backpack 20 accidentally falling during assembly and disassembly if it relies solely on the hooking ledge 13 for support. The hooking ledge 13 can utilize the groove 141 of the aluminum profile 14 (described later) or a reinforcing rib provided on the storage box 10.

[0042] See also Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9The containing box 10 includes an aluminum profile 14, which forms a frame for containing the box 10. The aluminum profile 14 includes a groove rail 141. The quick-release backpack 20 also includes a connecting wall 23. The connecting wall 23 can be a part of the mounting base plate 24. The connecting wall 23 is located in the outer area of ​​the quick-release backpack 20, which is convenient for user operation. A T-nut 15 is provided in the groove rail 141. The connecting wall 23 is provided with a through hole 231. The through hole 231 has a first part 232 and a second part 233. The width of the first part 232 is not less than the width of the T-nut 15, and the width of the second part 233 is less than the width of the first part 232 and less than the width of the T-nut 15. In this case, the T-nut 15 can be placed into the groove rail 141 through the first part 232 of the through hole 231, and then the T-nut 15 is controlled to slide along the groove rail 141 to the second part 233, and finally the T-nut 15 and the screw 16 are tightened. In this way, the risk of separation between the connecting wall 23 of the quick-release backpack 20 and the screw 16 can be reduced. The screw 16 is inserted into the connecting wall 23 of the quick-release backpack 20 and connected to the T-nut 15. The T-nut 15 can be a nut whose length is greater than its width. The groove 141 can include an inner portion 142 and an outer portion 143. The width of the inner portion 142 is greater than the length of the T-nut 15, and the width of the outer portion 143 is slightly greater than the width of the T-nut 15 and less than the length of the T-nut 15. In this way, the T-nut 15 and the screw 16 can be connected first, and then the T-nut 15 can enter the inner portion 142 through the through hole 231 and the outer portion 143 with its length direction parallel to the extension direction of the groove 141. Then, it can be rotated 90 degrees, and the screw 16 and the T-nut 15 are locked to complete the assembly of the container body 10 and the quick-release backpack 20.
