Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of medical culture equipment, and more specifically, to a lid and culture device for an infant incubator. Background Technology

[0002] Incubators are widely used in medical and biological experiments, primarily for the cultivation and observation of infants and animals.

[0003] Taking an infant incubator as an example, refer to Figure 1 The existing incubator has a removable inspection table 20 at the bottom, which, together with the chamber body 10, forms a closed culture space. The inspection table 20 and the chamber body 10 are detachably connected. The side wall of the chamber body 10 is equipped with an openable operating window 30 for the convenience of medical staff. To facilitate the removal of the inspection table 20, the existing operating window 30 typically adopts a downward-flipping opening structure.

[0004] However, there are occasional instances where medical staff, due to carelessness, fail to lock the operating window. In such cases, even a slight kick from the infant can open the window, posing a significant risk of the infant falling out and increasing the overall risk of using the incubator. Utility Model Content

[0005] The problem this invention addresses is how to improve the safety performance of the incubation device to prevent infants from accidentally falling.

[0006] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a lid for an infant incubator and an incubation device.

[0007] On the one hand, this utility model provides a lid for an infant incubator, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A lid for an infant incubator includes a top cover and a wing plate. One end of the wing plate is rotatably connected to one end of the top cover, and the other end of the wing plate is a locking part for engaging and locking with the body of the infant incubator. The wing plate includes two plates connected sequentially from one end to the other, forming an obtuse angle toward the inside of the lid. The wing plate is configured to flip upwards and open.

[0009] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: A wing plate that flips upwards and opens is rotatably connected to one side of the top cover, and a locking part is provided at the free end of the wing plate. During use, the top cover is closed to the incubator body, and the top cover is locked to the incubator body through the locking part, forming a closed space for culturing infants. Medical staff open the wing plate to perform medical procedures on the infants. Even when the wing plate is unlocked from the incubator body, the wing plate will remain closed under the action of gravity. Compared to traditional top covers that open from top to bottom, this invention provides greater resistance when the infant pushes the wing plate from the inside out, minimizing the risk of the infant accidentally lifting the wing plate and falling out of the incubator while turning over or kicking, thereby improving the safety of the incubation device.

[0010] Meanwhile, since the wing panel includes two plates connected sequentially from one end to the other, with the two plates forming an obtuse angle facing the inside of the box, when medical staff flip it up to open the wing panel, a larger opening can be formed, or more of the internal space of the box can be exposed, which is beneficial for medical staff to put in or take out the examination table and the baby.

[0011] Optionally, the two wing plates are symmetrically installed on both sides of the top cover.

[0012] Optionally, the top cover is provided with a support portion corresponding to the wing plate. The support portion is used to abut against the wing plate to limit the rotation range of the wing plate. The support portion is configured so that the rotation spaces of the two wing plates do not overlap.

[0013] Optionally, the two plates of the wing plate are a first plate connected to the top cover and a second plate away from the top cover, respectively. The two sides of the support are respectively provided with inclined surfaces that correspond to and abut against the first plates of the two wing plates. The inclined surfaces of the support are configured to keep the wing plate suspended when the opening is at its maximum.

[0014] Optionally, the wing plate is provided with a viewing window.

[0015] On the other hand, the present invention provides a culture device, including a box body, a box cover and a locking assembly. The box cover is the box cover as described above. The box cover is closed on the top of the box body to form a culture space with the box body. The locking assembly is disposed on the box body and is used to cooperate with the locking part to lock the box cover.

[0016] Since the technological improvements and effects of the culture device are the same as those of the top cover, the culture device will not be described in detail again.

[0017] Optionally, the housing includes a load-bearing platform and fixed and movable baffles surrounding the outer perimeter of the load-bearing platform. The fixed and movable baffles are arranged alternately end to end, and the movable baffles are rotatably connected to the load-bearing platform. The movable baffles are configured to flip downwards and open, and the movable baffles and the fixed baffles are detachably connected by the locking assembly.

[0018] Optionally, the locking assembly includes a limiting member and an elastic slide lock. The elastic slide lock further includes a lock sleeve, a lock tongue, and an elastic element.

[0032] It should be noted that the terms "one" and "multiple" used in this utility model are illustrative rather than restrictive. Those skilled in the art should understand that, unless otherwise expressly indicated in the context, they should be understood as "one or more".

[0033] In related technologies, because infants are delicate and fragile, in order to avoid causing injury or crying to the infants during the transfer process, it is necessary to minimize the disturbance to the infants during the movement and examination. Therefore, it is usually chosen to move the examination table together with the infants.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 Taking an infant incubator as an example, existing incubators have a detachable examination table 20 at the bottom, and a downward-opening operating window 30 on one side wall of the incubator body 10. When opened, the operating window 30 is roughly at the same horizontal level as the bottom of the incubator body 10, serving as a guide for the examination table 20 to slide. The unlocked examination table 20 can be pulled outwards for removal, eliminating the need for lifting and lowering it. However, medical staff often fail to lock the operating window 30 securely. In such cases, even a slight kick from the infant can open the operating window 30, posing a significant risk of the infant falling and increasing the overall risk of using the incubator.

[0035] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned related technologies, this utility model provides a lid for an infant incubator and an incubation device.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 This utility model provides a lid for an infant incubator, including a top cover 1 and a wing plate 2. One end of the wing plate 2 is rotatably connected to one end of the top cover 1, and the other end of the wing plate 2 is a locking part 21. The locking part 21 is used to lock with the body of the infant incubator. The wing plate 2 includes two plates connected sequentially from one end to the other end, and the two plates form an obtuse angle facing the inside of the lid. The wing plate 2 is configured to flip upwards to open.

[0037] Specifically, a wing plate 2 that flips upwards and opens is connected to one side of the top cover 1, and a locking part 21 is provided at the free end of the wing plate 2. During use, the cover closes to the body of the incubator, and the cover is locked to the body via the locking part 21, forming a closed space for culturing the infant. Medical staff open the wing plate 2 to perform medical procedures on the infant. Even when the wing plate 2 is unlocked from the body, it remains closed under the influence of gravity. Compared to traditional top-down opening covers, this invention provides greater resistance when the infant pushes the wing plate 2 from the inside out, minimizing the risk of the infant accidentally lifting the wing plate 2 and falling out of the incubator while turning over or kicking, thus improving the safety of the incubation device. Meanwhile, since the wing plate 2 includes two plates connected sequentially from one end to the other, and the two plates form an obtuse angle with the obtuse angle facing the inside of the box cover, when medical staff flip it up to open the wing plate 2, a larger opening can be formed or more of the internal space of the box 4 can be exposed, which is beneficial for medical staff to put in or take out the examination table 20 and the baby.

[0038] In this embodiment, the top cover 1 is a rectangular strip, the wing plate 2 is aligned with the edge of the top cover 1 and spliced ​​together, and connected by the hinge 3.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 Optionally, the two wing plates 2 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the top cover 1.

[0040] Specifically, wing plates 2 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the top cover 1. Both sides can be opened to increase the operating space and make it easier for medical staff to operate.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 Optionally, the top cover 1 is provided with a support portion 11, which is used to abut against the wing plate 2 to limit the rotation range of the wing plate 2. The support portion 11 is configured so that the rotation spaces of the two wing plates 2 do not overlap.

[0042] Specifically, the support part 11 restricts the rotation range of the wing plate 2 so that the wing plates 2 on both sides will not collide with each other during rotation.

[0043] In this embodiment, the wing plate 2 is spliced ​​together from two non-coplanar plates, and the support part 11 is formed by protruding upward from the top of the top cover 1. The integrally formed support part 11 can reduce installation and simplify the structure, and provide stable support for the wing plate 2 by utilizing the outer contour of the top cover 1 itself.

[0044] Optionally, the two plates of the wing plate 2 are a first plate 22 connected to the top cover 1 and a second plate 23 away from the top cover 1, respectively. The two sides of the support part 11 are respectively provided with inclined surfaces 111 that correspond to and abut against the first plates 22 of the two wing plates 2. The inclined surfaces 111 of the support part 11 are configured to keep the wing plate 2 suspended when the opening amplitude is maximum.

[0045] Specifically, the stability of the wing plate 2 when hovering can be improved by reducing the tilt angle of the inclined surface 111. The wing plate 2, which rotates to the top cover 1, remains stable and hovers under the support of the support part 11, thereby ensuring that medical staff have the maximum operating space and preventing the wing plate 2 from rotating and affecting medical staff operations.

[0046] In this embodiment, the support portion 11 can be a trapezoidal boss with two opposing inclined surfaces 111; the inclination angle of the inclined surfaces of the support portion 11 is less than 30°. The inclination angle of the inclined surface 111 refers to the angle between the inclined surface 111 and the bottom surface of the support portion 11, or the angle between the inclined surface 111 and the outer top wall of the top cover 1.

[0047] In other embodiments, a magnetic attraction device may be provided at the contact point between the inclined surface 111 and the wing plate 2 to improve the stability of the wing plate 2 when it is hovering.

[0048] Optionally, the wing plate 2 is provided with a viewing window.

[0049] Specifically, the viewing window on the wing plate 2 allows medical staff to observe the internal condition of the incubator when it is closed.

[0050] In this embodiment, the entire wing plate 2 can be made of transparent material, so that the viewing window can be maximized, thereby enabling medical staff to obtain the best field of vision.

[0051] Reference Figure 4 The present invention provides a culture device including a box body 4, a box cover 5 and a locking component 6. The box cover 5 is the box cover as described above. The box cover 5 covers the top of the box body 4 to form a culture space 7 with the box body 4. The locking component 6 is disposed on the box body 4 and is used to cooperate with the locking part 21 to lock the box cover 5.

[0052] The beneficial effects of the culture device in this embodiment compared to the prior art are the same as those of the top cover described above, and will not be repeated here.

[0053] Optionally, the housing 4 includes a load-bearing platform 41 and a fixed baffle 42 and a movable baffle 43 surrounding the outer perimeter of the load-bearing platform 41. The fixed baffle 42 and the movable baffle 43 are arranged alternately end to end. The movable baffle 43 is rotatably connected to the load-bearing platform 41. The movable baffle 43 is configured to flip down and open. The movable baffle 43 and the fixed baffle 42 are detachably connected by the locking assembly 6.

[0054] Specifically, the housing 4 includes two fixed baffles 42 and two movable baffles 43 arranged opposite to each other. The top of the fixed baffles 42 is fixedly connected to the top cover 1 of the housing cover 5, and the bottom of the fixed baffles 42 is fixedly connected to the load platform 41. The side of the fixed baffles 42 facing the interior of the cultivation space 7 is used to install functional devices such as lighting, heat preservation, and monitoring equipment. The two movable baffles 43 are respectively connected to the two wing plates 2 vertically. The downward-opening movable baffles 43 can further expand the operating range. The cultivation device is used in conjunction with the examination table 20 in the prior art. The examination table 20 is placed on the load platform 41, and then the infant is placed on the examination table 20. Routine operations such as injections and dressing changes do not require opening the movable baffles 43; they can be performed by opening the wing plates 2. The movable baffles 43 also provide safety protection for the infant. Even if the wing plates 2 are forgotten to be locked, the infant will not be in danger of accidentally falling. When it is necessary to transfer the infant, the wing plates 2 and the movable baffles 43 are opened simultaneously, and the examination table 20 is pulled out horizontally.

[0055] In this embodiment, the load-bearing platform 41 has a rectangular outer contour and is provided with two fixed baffles 42 and two movable baffles 43. The outer contour of the fixed baffles 42 is an irregular hexagon, and its top edge is flush with the box cover 5. The height of the movable baffles 43 accounts for one-third of the total height of the box body 4.

[0056] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 Optionally, the locking assembly 6 includes a limiting member 61 and an elastic slide lock 62. The elastic slide lock 62 further includes a locking sleeve 621, a locking tongue 622, and an elastic element (not shown). The locking tongue 622 is slidably connected to the locking sleeve 621. The elastic element is pressed between the locking sleeve 621 and the locking tongue 622, and the extension and retraction direction of the elastic element is parallel to the sliding direction of the locking tongue 622. The elastic slide lock 62 is configured to slide the locking tongue 622 to switch the locking state.

[0057] Specifically, the limiting member 61 is fixedly installed on the edge of the fixed baffle 42, and the elastic sliding lock 62 is installed on the wing plate 2 or the movable baffle 43. The lock sleeve 621 is hollow inside and has a clearance hole at the end for the locking tongue 622 to slide. The elastic member is preferably a spring, which is pressed between the lock sleeve 621 and the locking tongue 622. The elastic force makes the locking tongue 622 press against the limiting member 61 to lock the box cover 5. Alternatively, a pressing plate 623 protruding from the outer surface of the lock sleeve 621 can be installed on the lock sleeve 621 and the locking tongue 622 respectively, which makes it easier for medical staff to open and close the elastic sliding lock 62.

[0058] In this embodiment, each wing plate 2 and the movable baffle 43 are provided with elastic sliding locks 62 at both ends along the length direction (X direction in the figure).
