Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of incubation equipment technology, and in particular to an incubator origin egg-turning device and an incubator. Background Technology
[0002] An incubator is a device used for the artificial incubation of bird eggs. By controlling environmental factors such as temperature, airflow, and humidity, it simulates the natural conditions under which a mother bird incubates her eggs, ensuring the healthy development of the embryo inside and ultimately leading to successful hatching of chicks. The egg-turning device is a key component of the incubator. Its main function is to periodically turn the eggs during incubation, ensuring that the embryo is heated evenly, preventing the embryo from sticking to the shell, and promoting normal cell division and development.
[0003] Currently, most incubators use a gear-driven mechanism to flip the hatching eggs. Specifically, the incubator has a gear 1 at the bottom, with multiple egg slots 2 (see appendix). Figure 1 The hatching eggs are placed in these egg trays 2 and rotated as the gear disk 1 rotates. However, during the rotation of the gear disk, the hatching eggs not only rotate but also rotate with it, causing them to move to different positions during incubation. The temperature in these different positions will vary, which will adversely affect the constant temperature requirement of the hatching eggs and thus reduce the success rate of hatching. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an incubator origin egg-turning device and an incubator, which is designed to perform in-situ egg-turning operations during the incubation process of hatching eggs.

[0042] Please refer to the attached document. Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model provides an incubator origin egg-turning device, including a fixed plate 10 and a moving plate 20. The fixed plate 10 has multiple egg holes 11 for accommodating hatching eggs. The moving plate 20 is positioned below the fixed plate 10 and can rotate or reciprocate linearly relative to the fixed plate 10, thereby causing the eggs in the egg holes 11 to turn in place. The egg holes 11 on the fixed plate 10 are matched to the size of the hatching eggs to ensure that the eggs can be turned smoothly and are confined within the corresponding egg holes 11. Specifically, the size of the egg holes 11 needs to be reasonably designed to avoid being too large or too small. If the egg holes 11 are too large, the hatching eggs will shift during turning, creating an unstable incubation environment; if the egg holes 11 are too small, it will affect the smooth turning of the hatching eggs, thereby affecting the hatching success rate.
[0043] The movement of the rotating disc 20 can include rotation or reciprocating linear motion, depending on the design requirements of the incubator. Regardless of whether rotation or reciprocating linear motion is used, the hatching eggs remain in a fixed position on the stationary disc 10, only undergoing flipping operations. This design effectively prevents the hatching eggs from being affected by temperature differences due to movement to different positions during incubation, thereby meeting the eggs' requirement for a constant temperature environment as much as possible and improving the hatching success rate.
[0044] The working principle of the incubator's origin egg-turning device is as follows: the hatching eggs are placed in the fixed egg holes 11 on the fixed plate 10. When the moving plate 20 located below the fixed plate 10 rotates or reciprocates in a straight line, the hatching eggs in the fixed plate 10 will be turned over in the corresponding egg holes 11, while the position of the egg holes 11 remains unchanged and does not move with the movement of the moving plate 20, thereby ensuring that the hatching eggs are kept in a constant temperature environment during the incubation process.
[0045] In this embodiment, the incubator's origin egg-turning device includes a fixed plate 10 and a moving plate 20. The fixed plate 10 has multiple egg holes 11 for accommodating hatching eggs. The moving plate 20 is positioned below the fixed plate 10 and can rotate or reciprocate linearly relative to the fixed plate 10, thereby causing the eggs in the egg holes 11 to turn in place. This design keeps the hatching eggs in a fixed position on the fixed plate 10, performing only the turning operation, solving the problem in traditional gear-disc designs where the hatching eggs move to different positions with the gear disk during turning, thus avoiding the influence of temperature differences. This design achieves in-situ turning of the hatching eggs, keeping them in a constant temperature environment as much as possible during incubation, improving the hatching success rate.
[0046] In some alternative embodiments, the moving disk 20 is a rotating disk, and the fixed disk 10 is coaxially arranged with the rotating disk. The rotating disk rotates via a drive device.
[0047] Furthermore, the rotating disk is a gear disk, which meshes with a drive gear. The drive gear is driven by a drive motor, and the drive gear rotates to drive the gear disk to rotate.
[0048] In some alternative embodiments, the moving plate 20 is a push-pull plate, which is driven by a servo motor to make the push-pull plate perform reciprocating linear motion.
[0049] On the other hand, please see the appendix Figure 4 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides an incubator, including the incubator origin egg-turning device of any of the above embodiments. The incubator has the technical effects of the incubator origin egg-turning device of any of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
[0050] In some optional embodiments, the incubator further includes a chassis 30 and a cover 40 that mates with the chassis 30; the moving plate 20 and the fixed plate 10 are sequentially mounted on the chassis 30. In one specific embodiment, the chassis 30, the moving plate 20, and the fixed plate 10 are all circular, and the chassis 30 is provided with mounting cavities that match the moving plate 20 and the fixed plate 10, and the moving plate 20 and the fixed plate 10 are sequentially mounted in the mounting cavities.

The limiting hole 12, after being sleeved on the limiting post 31, can be fixed by bolts; alternatively, the limiting hole 12 can be directly inserted and fixed to the limiting post 31 of the base 30. Furthermore, various specifications of the fixed disk 10 can be designed according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different types of eggs. When it is necessary to replace the fixed disk 10 with a different specification or to clean it, the fixed disk 10 can be easily removed simply by loosening the bolts.
[0052] In some optional embodiments, the chassis 30, the rotating disk, and the fixed disk 10 are all circular and are coaxially arranged; the limiting post 31 is arranged on the central axis of the chassis 30, and the limiting post 31 can be, but is not limited to, a structure with a smaller upper end and a larger lower end; the rotating hole 21 is arranged on the central axis of the rotating disk, and the limiting hole 12 is arranged on the central axis of the fixed disk 10.

The annular heating element 54 is coaxially aligned with the hot air forming zone 52 and located between the air inlet and the air outlet. The annular heating element 54 replaces the traditional heating method of resistance wire winding in incubators, eliminating the need for winding posts. This not only avoids uneven heating caused by uneven resistance wire winding but also overcomes the defect of multiple winding posts obstructing airflow in traditional incubators, resulting in a more uniform airflow distribution within the incubator.
[0056] In some optional embodiments, the annular heating element 54 is an aluminum substrate heating element, which includes an annular aluminum substrate and a plurality of surface mount resistors, which are uniformly disposed on the annular aluminum substrate.
