[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0024] See Figure 1-8 A household egg incubator includes a lower shell 1 and an upper shell 2, which are rotatably connected. A motor 3 is located in the middle of the lower shell 1, with its output shaft vertically upward. A rotating disk 4 is horizontally mounted on the output shaft of the motor 3. A placement disk 5 is horizontally mounted inside the lower shell 1 above the rotating disk 4. Several placement slots 6 are spaced radially on the placement disk 5, and the placement slots 6 are elliptical in shape. The height between the rotating disk 4 and the placement disk 5 is approximately one-third the height of the egg. A humidifier (not shown in the figure) is located on the outside of the lower shell 1. The humidifier can be a common small humidifier. The output end of the humidifier is connected to the inside of the lower shell 1 through a pipe 7. Temperature sensors 8 and humidity sensors 9 are spaced apart on the outside of the upper shell 2. A ring-shaped resistance heating wire 10 is located on the inner wall of the upper shell 2. A control panel 11 is located on the outer surface of the lower shell 1. The motor 3, the resistance heating wire 10, the temperature sensor 8, and the humidity sensor 9 are electrically connected to the control panel 11 through signal lines.
[0025] The preferred placement tray 5 between the two placement slots 6 is provided with a plurality of spray nozzles 12, and the plurality of spray nozzles 12 are respectively connected to the pipes 7 provided on the lower surface of the placement tray 5. The provision of a plurality of spray nozzles 12 between the two placement slots 6 can further ensure that the required humidity of the eggs can be sprayed evenly.
[0026] The preferred placement tray 5 has horizontally fixed sliders on opposite sides. The lower shell 1 has vertically opened grooves 13 on both sides. Push blocks 14 are provided on the lower shell 1 outside the two grooves 13. The two push blocks 14 are fixed to the two sliders. Spring positioning beads 15 are provided on both sides of the two sliders. Positioning holes suitable for spring positioning beads 15 are provided on the side walls of the grooves 13 along their height direction. When the eggs in the shell begin to hatch, the two push blocks 14 are manually pressed. At this time, the spring positioning beads 15 move downward along the grooves 13, so that the placement tray 5 and the rotating plate 4 are as close as possible, so that the chicks can stand better on the placement tray 5 after hatching.
[0027] The preferred rotating disk 4 has a friction-enhancing layer 16 attached to its upper surface, which can ensure that the egg rotates better during the rotation of the rotating disk 4 and ensure that it is heated evenly.
[0028] The inner wall of the preferred lower housing 1 is provided with a U-shaped groove 17 suitable for the sliding of the rotating disk 4, wherein the design of the U-shaped groove 17 facilitates a more stable rotation of the rotating disk 17.
[0029] The preferred upper shell 2 is provided with ventilation windows 18 on opposite sides. The ventilation windows 18 are designed to ensure that the incubating eggs can absorb oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, and to ensure sufficient oxygen as the eggs' metabolism gradually increases in the later stages.
[0030] The preferred upper shell 2 is a sandwich structure made of transparent material, with an insulation layer filling the sandwich.
[0031] The inner sides of several preferred placement slots 6 are rounded to reduce the impact and damage to the eggs caused by the walls of the placement slots 6.
[0032] The working principle of this egg incubator is as follows: First, the hatching eggs are placed in several placement slots 6, and the incubation temperature is set on the control panel 11. At this time, the temperature inside the shell rises and is maintained by energizing the resistance heating wire 10. Then, the starter motor 3 is activated, which drives the rotating disk 4 to rotate, thereby driving the friction assist layer 16 to rotate. Since the placement disk 6 is stationary, the rotation of the rotating disk 4 drives the eggs to rotate, thus ensuring that the eggs are heated evenly. The temperature sensor 8 is set to monitor the temperature inside the shell in real time, so as to adjust the temperature in real time according to the incubation level of the eggs and achieve precise control. When the humidity inside the shell is lower than the set value, the humidity sensor... 9 transmits a signal to the control panel 11, which controls the humidifier to start working. The humidifier sprays through the pipe 7 to multiple spray nozzles 12 set between the two placement slots 6, and provides uniform humidification to the eggs through the rotation of the motor 3. When the eggs gradually begin to hatch, the two push blocks 14 are manually pressed. At this time, the spring positioning bead 15 moves down along the slide 13, so that the placement tray 5 and the rotating tray 4 are as close as possible, so that the hatched chicks can stand better on the placement tray 5. This incubator can effectively ensure the hatching rate of eggs by monitoring the temperature and humidity inside the shell in real time and ensuring that the eggs are heated evenly. Moreover, the incubator is compact in design and the automatic design does not require too much reliance on manual labor.
