Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of incubator technology, and in particular to an incubator with remote monitoring function. Background Technology

[0002] Incubators with remote monitoring capabilities are crucial equipment in modern aquaculture and scientific research for incubating poultry eggs, pet eggs, and other products. They play a key role in simulating a suitable incubation environment and ensuring healthy embryo development. By precisely controlling environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity, they create stable conditions for egg incubation and are widely used in commercial poultry farming, rare animal conservation and breeding, and biological research and teaching. In practical applications, incubators typically have the following core components:

[0003] 1. Temperature control system, which can accurately regulate the temperature inside the chamber to ensure that it is maintained in a narrow temperature range suitable for embryo development, with high-precision temperature sensors and stable heating and cooling devices;

[0004] 2. Humidity control system: The system uses a humidifier, dehumidifier and humidity sensor to work together to maintain stable humidity inside the incubator and meet the specific humidity requirements of different egg species.

[0005] 3. Ventilation system, responsible for the circulation and exchange of air inside the chamber, ensuring sufficient oxygen supply and expelling waste gases such as carbon dioxide, providing a good gaseous environment for embryo development;

[0006] 4. Egg support device, used to place eggs to be incubated. Traditionally, this is mostly a fixed egg rack or tray.

[0007] Currently, various types of incubators are available on the market to improve incubation efficiency and quality. Some incubators employ intelligent control systems that can automatically adjust parameters such as temperature and humidity, achieving a certain degree of automation. Others are equipped with basic monitoring functions, allowing users to view some environmental data within the incubator via a wired connection. Some high-end incubators possess rudimentary remote data transmission capabilities, sending temperature, humidity, and other data to user terminals.

[0008] However, the existing incubator implementation methods described above still have many problems. Regarding egg placement, traditional fixed-structure egg racks or trays lack flexibility, failing to adjust the spacing and layout of eggs according to their size, shape, and specific needs during incubation. This can lead to uneven heating of the eggs, affecting the consistency of embryonic development and reducing hatching success rates. Furthermore, existing incubators lack effective monitoring facilities, making it impossible to directly observe the actual state of the eggs and failing to meet users' needs for a comprehensive understanding of the incubation process. This application addresses these problems by proposing an incubator device with remote monitoring capabilities. Its connecting rollers for placing eggs can be flexibly arranged and possess remote monitoring functionality, effectively improving management efficiency and incubation quality, providing users with a more comprehensive and convenient incubation experience. The flexible arrangement of the connecting rollers can adapt to the needs of different egg species, and the remote monitoring function allows users to intuitively monitor the egg status within the incubator anytime, anywhere, enabling timely detection and handling of abnormalities. Utility Model Content

[0009] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an incubator with remote monitoring capabilities. This solves the problem that traditional fixed egg racks or trays lack flexibility and cannot flexibly adjust the spacing and layout of eggs according to the size, shape, and special needs of different egg species during the incubation process. This may lead to uneven heating of the eggs and reduce the hatching success rate. Furthermore, existing incubators lack effective monitoring facilities, making it impossible to directly observe the actual condition of the eggs.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0011] An incubator with remote monitoring function includes a box body, a connecting cover movably snapped onto the upper surface of the box body, a controller disposed on the upper surface of the connecting cover, a connecting frame for support disposed inside the box body, a set of connecting rollers for placing eggs movably sleeved inside the connecting frame, a camera for monitoring disposed inside the box body, a connecting post fixedly connected to the rear surface of each connecting roller, a limiting post for limiting the movement of the connecting roller movably sleeved inside each connecting post, a return spring fixedly connected to the front surface of each limiting post, and a set of holes opened in the inner wall of the connecting roller, with each set of limiting posts movably sleeved into a set of holes.

[0012] Preferably, each of the connecting posts has a circular groove on its rear surface, a set of limiting posts are movably connected to a set of circular grooves, a set of reset springs are fixedly connected to a set of circular grooves, and two slots are formed on the inner wall of each circular groove.

[0013] Preferably, each of the limiting posts has two connecting blocks fixedly connected to its annular side, each pair of slots is movably engaged with each pair of connecting blocks, each pair of connecting blocks has a pull ring fixedly connected to its surface, and a protective net is provided inside the box.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. During use, pulling the pull ring backward will move the two fixed connecting blocks together. The two connecting blocks will move the fixed limiting post. The movement of the limiting post will disengage it from the set of holes on the connecting frame, opening the limit. At this time, installation and disassembly can be carried out. The overall design is easy to disassemble, which facilitates later maintenance or replacement. Different types of eggs have different sizes and shapes. During installation, ensure that the two connecting rollers are at the required distance to optimize the layout and improve the adaptability and versatility of the box to different types of eggs.

[0016] 2. The camera's internal image sensor captures light and images of the scene inside the hatch, converting the light signal into an electrical signal. After analog-to-digital conversion, it becomes a digital image signal. This digital image signal is then transmitted wirelessly to a remote monitoring device, allowing the terminal device to view the status of the eggs inside the hatch in real time. This facilitates the management of the hatching process by the breeder and greatly improves management efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, existing incubators lack effective monitoring facilities, making it impossible to directly observe the actual state of the eggs. This application proposes an incubator device with remote monitoring capabilities. The connecting rollers for placing eggs can be flexibly arranged and have remote monitoring functionality, effectively improving management efficiency and hatching quality. This provides users with a more comprehensive and convenient hatching experience. The flexible arrangement of the connecting rollers adapts to the needs of different egg species. With remote monitoring, users can intuitively monitor the egg status inside the incubator anytime, anywhere, and promptly detect and address any abnormalities.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the problems of traditional fixed-structure egg racks or trays having poor flexibility, failing to flexibly adjust the placement spacing and layout of eggs according to the size, shape, and special needs of different egg species during incubation, which may lead to uneven heating of eggs and reduce hatching success rate. Furthermore, existing incubators lack effective monitoring facilities, making it impossible to directly observe the actual state of the eggs. The overall approach is as follows:

[0026] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an incubator with remote monitoring functionality, comprising a box body 1, a connecting cover 2 movably latched onto the upper surface of the box body 1, a controller 3 disposed on the upper surface of the connecting cover 2, a supporting connecting frame 7 disposed inside the box body 1, a set of connecting rollers 4 for placing eggs movably sleeved inside the connecting frame 7, a monitoring camera 5 disposed inside the box body 1, a connecting post 8 fixedly connected to the rear surface of each connecting roller 4, a limiting post 12 movably sleeved inside each connecting post 8 for limiting the connection with the connecting roller 4, a return spring 10 fixedly connected to the front surface of each limiting post 12, and an opening in the inner wall of the connecting roller 4. A set of holes is provided, and a set of limiting posts 12 are respectively movably connected to a set of holes. During use, by pulling the pull ring 11 backward, the two fixed connecting blocks 13 are moved together. The two connecting blocks 13 will drive the fixed limiting posts 12 to move. The movement of the limiting posts 12 will disengage from the set of holes opened on the connecting frame 7, opening the limiting position. At this time, installation and disassembly can be carried out. The overall design is easy to disassemble, which facilitates later maintenance or replacement. Different types of eggs have different sizes and shapes. During the installation process, the two connecting rollers 4 are kept at the required distance, thereby optimizing the layout and improving the adaptability and versatility of the box 1 to different types of eggs.

[0027] Each connecting post 8 has a circular groove 9 on its rear surface. A set of limiting posts 12 are movably connected to a set of circular grooves 9. A set of return springs 10 are fixedly connected to a set of circular grooves 9. Each circular groove 9 has two slots 14 on its inner wall. Two connecting blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the annular side of the limiting post 12. Each pair of slots 14 is movably engaged with each pair of connecting blocks 13. Each pair of connecting blocks 13 has a pull ring 11 fixedly connected to its surface. A protective net 6 is installed inside the box 1. The image sensor inside the camera 5 will capture light and image of the scene inside the box 1, convert the light signal into an electrical signal, and then convert it into a digital image signal after analog-to-digital conversion. The digital image signal is transmitted wirelessly to the remote monitoring equipment. The status of the eggs inside the box 1 can be viewed in real time through the terminal equipment, which facilitates the management of the hatching process by the breeder and greatly improves management efficiency.

[0028] Among them, box 1 is the main structure of the incubator, which provides space for the eggs to hatch, and other components are installed inside to form a complete incubation environment;

[0029] The connecting cover 2 is attached to the upper surface of the box 1 to seal the box 1, prevent heat and humidity loss, and ensure a stable incubation environment.

[0030] The controller 3 is located on the upper surface of the connecting cover 2 and is used to control environmental parameters such as temperature and humidity inside the incubator to achieve precise regulation.

[0031] The connecting roller 4 is placed inside the connecting frame 7 to support the egg. The spacing between the rollers is adjustable to accommodate different types of eggs and ensure even heating.

[0032] Camera 5 is installed inside the housing 1. It converts the scene inside the housing into digital image signals through photosensitive imaging, making it convenient to remotely view the status of the egg.

[0033] The protective net 6 is installed inside the box 1 to prevent the eggs from falling or other foreign objects from entering and affecting the incubation process;

[0034] The connecting frame 7 is located inside the housing 1 and supports the connecting roller 4, ensuring that the connecting roller 4 is placed stably and providing a support base for the egg body.

[0035] The connecting column 8 is fixed on the rear surface of the connecting roller 4 and cooperates with the limiting column 12 to realize the installation, disassembly and limiting of the connecting roller 4 in the connecting frame 7;

[0036] A circular groove 9 is formed on the rear surface of the connecting post 8 to accommodate the limiting post 12 and the return spring 10, providing them with installation space and a moving track;

[0037] One end of the reset spring 10 is fixed to the front surface of the limiting post 12, and the other end is fixed in the circular groove 9, so that the limiting post 12 can automatically reset and maintain the fixation of the connecting roller 4.

[0038] Pull ring 11 is fixed to the surface of connecting block 13, making it easy to pull connecting block 13, thereby driving limit post 12 to move, realizing the installation and removal of connecting roller 4;

[0039] The limiting post 12 is movably sleeved inside the connecting post 8 and cooperates with the hole on the connecting frame 7 to limit the position of the connecting roller 4 and ensure its stable placement.

[0040] The connecting block 13 is fixed to the annular side of the limiting post 12 and connected to the pull ring 11. When the pull ring 11 is pulled, the limiting post 12 is moved, thereby disassembling the connecting roller 4.

[0041] The slot 14 is formed on the inner wall of the circular groove 9 and is movably engaged with the connecting block 13 to further fix the limiting post 12 and prevent it from moving accidentally.

[0042] Working principle:

[0043] During use, pulling the pull ring 11 backward moves the two fixed connecting blocks 13 together. The two connecting blocks 13 move the fixed limiting post 12. The movement of the limiting post 12 disengages from the set of holes on the connecting frame 7, opening the limit. At this time, installation and disassembly can be carried out. The overall design is easy to disassemble, which facilitates later maintenance or replacement. Different types of eggs have different sizes and shapes. During installation, the two connecting rollers 4 are kept at the required distance to optimize the layout and improve the adaptability and versatility of the box 1 to different types of eggs. The image sensor inside the camera 5 will capture light and image of the scene inside the box 1, convert the light signal into an electrical signal, and then convert it into a digital image signal after analog-to-digital conversion. The digital image signal is transmitted wirelessly to the remote monitoring equipment. The terminal device can view the status of the eggs inside the box 1 in real time, which facilitates the management of the incubation process by the breeder and greatly improves the management efficiency.
