Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of incubator technology, specifically to an internal circulation air incubator. Background Technology

[0002] At present, incubators are mainly used for incubating fertilized eggs, artificially simulating the temperature, humidity, and egg-turning conditions of incubation in oviparous animals, allowing the fertilized eggs to develop into life over a certain period of time.

[0003] For an incubator, authorization announcement number CN220913560U discloses a constant temperature and humidity chamber, which specifically discloses the following components: a temperature and humidity sensor, a main control module, a heating module, an atomizing device, a temperature probe, and a chamber body. The temperature and humidity sensor is disposed inside the chamber body and is used to collect real-time temperature and humidity signals within the chamber body and send these signals to the main control module. The main control module is disposed on the outer wall of the chamber body and is electrically connected to the heating module and the atomizing device, used to control the heating module and the atomizing device based on the received real-time temperature and humidity signals. The temperature probe is used to collect the temperature of the heating module and send the collected temperature information to the main control module. A water pipe is disposed inside the chamber body, the water pipe including a vertical section, one end of which is connected to the atomizing device, and the water pipe is in contact with the heating module. A fan is disposed inside the chamber body to blow the mist generated by the ultrasonic atomizing plate to every corner of the chamber body.

[0004] However, the aforementioned low-energy internal circulation incubation device still has some drawbacks. For example, since the main control module is directly mounted on the chamber wall and many of its electronic components are located inside the chamber, when the fan and atomizing device are operating simultaneously, the fan causes the mist to continuously flow within the chamber. This mist may directly contact the electronic components of the main control module, potentially damaging it due to frequent contact with moisture and shortening its lifespan. Therefore, improvements to the existing technology are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0032] The specific implementation methods according to this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Example 1:

[0034] like Figures 1-9 As shown, an internal circulation incubator includes a housing 1 and a control module 2, a partition 3, a fan 4, a heater 5, a sealing cover 6, an atomizer 7, a water supply device 8, and a temperature and humidity sensor 9, all installed on the housing 1.

[0035] Preferably, the partition 3 is connected to the inner walls of the housing 1 on all four sides to divide the inner cavity of the housing 1 into an upper inner cavity 101 and a lower inner cavity 102; the control module 2 is installed on the side wall of the upper inner cavity 101; through holes 31 are provided on both sides of the partition 3, and multiple through holes 31 are provided on each side; the fan 4 is installed on the partition 3 and cooperates with the air blowing hole (not shown in the figure) in the middle of the partition 3; the heater 5 is installed on the partition 3 and located above the fan 4; the sealing cover 6 is covered on the heater 5, the fan 4 and the through holes 31. The sealing cover 6 can be used to reduce the probability of mist contacting the control module 2 to ensure the service life of the control module 2; the atomizer 7 extends into the lower inner cavity 102 through the water supply device 8 and is located below the fan 4; the temperature and humidity sensor 9 is installed in the lower inner cavity 102; the fan 4, the heater 5, the atomizer 7, the water supply device 8 and the temperature and humidity sensor 9 are electrically connected to the control module 2.

[0036] When in use, the fan 4 can be used to circulate air and mist internally; the fan 4, heater 5 and atomizer 7 can be activated accordingly based on the temperature and humidity sensed by the temperature and humidity sensor 9 to maintain the temperature and humidity inside the lower cavity 102.

[0037] like Figures 1-8 As shown, in this embodiment, the water supply device 8 includes a water pipe 81, a water bottle 82, and a connector 83. The first end of the water pipe 81 passes through one side of the upper inner cavity 101, enters the upper inner cavity 101, and then passes through the partition 3 to extend into the lower inner cavity 102. The atomizer 7 is installed at the first end of the water pipe 81. The connector 83 is installed at the second end of the water pipe 81. The water bottle 82 is detachably snapped onto the connector 83. Therefore, with the above arrangement, water can be supplied to the water pipe 81 using the water bottle 82. In addition, it should be noted that a water level stabilizing device is designed at the water bottle opening. When the liquid level in the water pipe 81 is lower than the equilibrium liquid level, the water in the water bottle 82 will automatically flow into the water pipe 81 until the water in the water bottle 82 is used up. Since the structure of this water level stabilizing device is existing technology and it can adopt commonly used structures on the market, it will not be described in detail here.

[0038] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model also includes a water level monitoring device 10 and an indicator light 11, which are electrically connected to the control module 2 respectively. The indicator light 11 is installed on the side wall of the housing 1. The water level monitoring device 10 is installed on the partition 3 and its detection end extends into the second end of the water pipe 81 for detecting the water level. When the water level is lower than a preset value, the control module 2 controls the indicator light 11 to flash to remind the staff to add water to the water bottle 82. Of course, the water level monitoring device 10 can also be installed on the housing 1.

[0039] like Figures 1-8As shown, preferably, the water pipe 81 includes a first vertical section 811, a horizontal section 812, and a second vertical section 813 connected in sequence; the first vertical section 811 is located outside the housing 1 and faces upwards, one end of the horizontal section 812 extends outwards from the housing 1 and the other end is located in the upper inner cavity 101, and the second vertical section 813 passes downwards through the partition 3; the detection end of the water level monitoring device 10 extends into the second vertical section 813, and the atomizer 7 is installed at the port position of the second vertical section 813. Therefore, the above arrangement facilitates the installation of the water level monitoring device 10 and the atomizer 7, and ensures smooth water flow in and out of the water pipe 81.

[0040] like Figures 1-8 As shown, preferably, the atomizer 7 is detachably installed at the port position of the second vertical section 813, which facilitates the removal and replacement of the atomizer 7 and also facilitates subsequent inspection and maintenance.

[0041] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model also includes a lighting lamp 12 electrically connected to the control module 2; the lighting lamp 12 is installed on the inner wall of the lower inner cavity 102. Therefore, by providing the lighting lamp 12, it can be used for illumination, making it convenient to use.

[0042] like Figure 3 As shown, preferably, a positioning protrusion 62 protrudes outward from each of the four sides of the sealing cover 6; the bottom surface of the positioning protrusion 62 is connected to the partition 3. Specifically, the positioning protrusion 62 is bonded to the partition 3 to ensure the stability of the partition 3.

[0043] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the heater 5 is a heating plate and has multiple perforations (not shown in the figure) for air and mist to pass through, thereby ensuring smooth flow.

[0044] In this embodiment, the volume of the lower inner cavity 102 is greater than the volume of the upper inner cavity 101.

[0045] In this embodiment, a wire hole 61 is also provided on the side of the sealing cover 6 to facilitate the wires of the fan 4 and the heater 5 to be led out of the sealing cover 6.

[0046] In addition, ventilation holes 103 can be provided on the side wall of the upper inner cavity 101 to facilitate heat dissipation of components such as the control module 2.

[0047] In this embodiment, the water level monitoring device 10 uses a non-contact liquid level detection sensor. Additionally, the atomizer 7 in this embodiment is an ultrasonic atomizer.

[0048] Control module 2 includes a control panel, buttons with various functions, and a display screen, etc.

[0049] Combination Figure 9 The following describes the specific working principle of this utility model in order to help you understand it:

[0050] First, the required temperature and humidity values ​​for incubation are preset on the control module 2 via buttons and displayed on the screen. Next, the temperature and humidity in the lower inner cavity 102 are monitored by the temperature and humidity sensor 9, and the monitoring results are compared with the set values. When the monitored temperature value is lower than the set value, the fan 4 and heater 5 start to operate, thereby using the fan 4 to heat the air passing through the heater 5. Then, the heated air moves to both sides of the upper inner cavity 101 and finally flows into the lower inner cavity 102 through the through hole 31 on the partition 3. The above process is continuously cyclical to achieve internal circulation, and stops when the temperature of the lower inner cavity 102 reaches the set value. When the monitored temperature value is higher than the set value, the heater 5 is turned off, and the atomizer 7 sprays mist at room temperature, which, together with the blowing of the fan 4, is used to uniformly cool down the air until the temperature of the lower inner cavity 102 reaches the set value. In addition, when the monitored humidity value is lower than the set value, the atomizer 7 sprays out mist at room temperature and the fan 4 blows it to increase the air humidity until the set humidity is reached and then stops.

[0051] In summary, the overall structure of this utility model is simple and reasonable. By setting a sealing cover 6 in the upper inner cavity 101 and covering the heater 5, fan 4 and through hole 31, the sealing cover 6 can be used to prevent the mist from being discharged outside the sealing cover 6 and the mist from contacting the control module 2, which can protect the control module 2 and extend the service life of the control module 2.

[0052] Example 2:

[0053] like Figure 10 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that in this embodiment, the water supply device 8 includes a water pipe 81, a conduit 84, a connector 83, and a water pump 85; the first end of the water pipe 81 passes through one side of the upper inner cavity 101 and then through the partition 3 to extend into the lower inner cavity 102; the atomizer 7 is installed at the first end of the water pipe 81; the connector 83 is installed at the second end of the water pipe 81; the water pump 85 is connected to the connector 83 through the conduit 84; the water pump 85 can be placed in an external water source to supply water to the water pipe 81.

[0054] In addition, this embodiment also includes a water level monitoring device 10 and an indicator light 11, which are electrically connected to the control module 2 respectively. The indicator light 11 is installed on the side wall of the housing 1. The water level monitoring device 10 is installed on the partition 3 and its detection end extends into the second end of the water pipe 81 for detecting the water level. Therefore, in use, when the water level monitoring device 10 detects that the water level is lower than the preset value, the control module 2 controls the indicator light 11 to flash and controls the water pump 85 to work until the water level reaches the preset value and then stops. Of course, the water level monitoring device 10 can also be installed on the housing 1.
