[0007] The main body has a storage space inside, and the rear side wall of the main body is provided with exhaust ports and air inlets at intervals.
[0008] An external attachment compartment, located outside the main body and connected to the rear side wall of the main body, houses a detection component and an adjustment component.

[0015] The compressor is installed in the external compartment and connected to the evaporator and the condenser. It is connected to the condenser via an expansion valve and is used to provide power for the refrigeration cycle.
[0016] In some alternative embodiments, a first isolation mesh plate is provided at the air inlet.
[0017] In some alternative implementations, a second isolation mesh is provided at the exhaust port.
[0018] In some alternative embodiments, a first mounting plate is connected to the upper side of the external module, and a second mounting plate is connected to the lower side of the external module. Both the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate are detachably connected to the main module via locking devices.

[0033] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0034] It should be understood that the various forms of processes shown above can be used to rearrange, add, or delete steps. For example, the steps described in this application can be executed in parallel, sequentially, or in different orders, as long as the desired result of the technical solution of this application can be achieved, and this is not limited herein.
[0035] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0036] In related technologies, it is usually necessary to place the detection components used to detect the environmental parameters inside the chamber and put them in direct contact with the air environment inside the chamber in order to detect the internal environmental parameters. With this structure of building the detection components inside, medium and large animals can access any part of the chamber and will usually habitually gnaw on the built-in detection components, causing damage to the detection components and affecting the detection effect.
[0037] To address the aforementioned issues in related technologies, researchers discovered that animals produce carbon dioxide during respiration, leading to increased pressure within the chamber and causing the gas to automatically flow outwards. Therefore, by placing the detection component at the gas outflow port, high-precision detection of environmental parameters within the chamber can be achieved, thus overcoming the aforementioned shortcomings. The difficulty and key to this approach lies in designing the layout of the gas flow path within the chamber.
[0038] Therefore, this application provides an intensive care unit, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The intensive care unit comprises a main cabin 11 and an external cabin 12. The main cabin 11 has storage space for pets to rest in. Exhaust vents 111 and air inlets 112 are spaced apart on the rear wall of the main cabin 11. Please refer to... Figure 3The external compartment 12 is located outside the main compartment 11 and connected to the rear side wall of the main compartment 11. It houses the detection component 13 and the adjustment component 14. The external compartment 12 is connected to the storage space through the exhaust port 111 and the air inlet 112. The detection component 13 is located adjacent to the exhaust port 111. The air inlet of the adjustment component 14 is connected to the storage space through the air inlet 112. The detection component 13 is used to detect the environmental parameters in the storage space. The adjustment component 14 is used to adjust the air quality of the storage space according to the environmental parameters detected by the detection component 13.
[0039] In the aforementioned intensive care unit, an air inlet 112 and an exhaust outlet 111 are provided on the rear side wall of the main body 11, and an external compartment 12 is installed on the rear wall of the main body 11. The external compartment 12 is connected to the main body 11 through the air inlet 112 and the exhaust outlet 111, thus forming a gas flow channel for the main body 11. By placing the detection component 13 inside the external compartment 12 near the exhaust outlet 111, the air parameters in the storage space can be accurately detected when the airflow in the storage space flows out through the exhaust outlet 111, so that the adjustment component 14 can adjust the air quality of the storage space according to the air parameters. In this way, by placing the detection component 13 outside the storage space near the exhaust outlet 111, the damage of the detection component 13 by animals in the storage space can be avoided, while the detection accuracy of the air parameters can be guaranteed.
[0040] Preferably, the bulkheads of the storage space are made of heat-insulating material.
[0041] In some embodiments, the environmental parameter is at least one of temperature, humidity, oxygen concentration, carbon dioxide concentration, or nitrogen concentration.
[0042] In this way, by collecting any combination of five parameters—temperature, humidity, oxygen content, carbon dioxide content, and ammonia concentration—the combined monitoring of these five parameters can be adapted to the physiological needs of different animals. For example, reptiles need to prioritize the regulation of temperature and humidity parameters, while social rodents need to focus on controlling ammonia and carbon dioxide concentrations, thereby achieving differentiated environmental adaptation for different species.
[0043] It is understandable that temperature is a thermodynamic state quantity of the air within the storage space, which can be specifically realized using a temperature sensor.
[0044] Humidity refers to the percentage of water vapor content in a storage space, which can be measured using a humidity sensor.
[0045] Oxygen content refers to the volume concentration of oxygen in the storage space, which can be achieved using a gas sensor. By measuring the oxygen concentration, it can be determined whether fresh air needs to be added.
[0046] Carbon dioxide content refers to the volume concentration of carbon dioxide in the storage space. This can be achieved using an infrared gas sensor, which can detect the carbon dioxide concentration to determine whether the ventilation frequency needs to be increased.
[0047] Ammonia concentration refers to the volume concentration of ammonia in the storage space. This can be achieved using an electrochemical sensor. By monitoring the ammonia concentration, it can be determined whether it is necessary to remove harmful gases produced by the decomposition of excrement in a timely manner.
[0048] Please combine Figure 3 In some optional embodiments, the regulating component 14 is a heating and cooling air conditioner. Specifically, the regulating component 14 includes a fan 141, an evaporator 142, a condenser 143, and a compressor 144, which are installed inside the external compartment 12 and adjacent to the air inlet 112, and have an air inlet end communicating with the air inlet 112 for driving gas circulation; the evaporator 142 is installed inside the external compartment 12 and connected to the air inlet end of the fan 141 for heat exchange or humidity regulation of the airflow; the condenser 143 is installed inside the external compartment 12 and connected to the evaporator 142, and is connected to the condenser 143 through an expansion valve to form a refrigeration cycle loop; the compressor 144 is installed inside the external compartment 12 and connected to the evaporator 142 and the condenser 143 for providing power for the refrigeration cycle.
[0049] Thus, the regulating component 14 achieves cooling or heating functions through the fan 141, evaporator 142, condenser 143 and compressor 144, thereby regulating the temperature in the storage space. At the same time, when the oxygen concentration parameter, carbon dioxide concentration parameter or nitrogen concentration parameter exceeds the standard, the regulating component 14 can also blow fresh and constant temperature air into the storage space to restore the air parameters in the storage space to normal.
[0050] It is understood that the structure of the air conditioner formed by the fan 141, evaporator 142, condenser 143 and compressor 144, as well as the installation method between its components, are existing technologies in the field and will not be described in detail here.
[0051] Furthermore, a humidifier can be installed inside the external compartment 12. The humidifier is connected to the fan 141 so that the atomized air generated by the humidifier enters the fan 141 and is blown into the storage space by the fan 141 to regulate the humidity of the storage space.
[0052] In some alternative embodiments, the regulating component 14 may also be a fan 141 and a heating component, the heating component being connected to the fan 141 and used to heat the airflow flowing into the fan 141. Thus, when the temperature is high, it is cooled by air cooling, and when the temperature is low, the airflow flowing into the fan 141 is heated by the heating component, thereby increasing the temperature of the air outlet of the fan 141.
[0053] It should be noted that the structure of the adjustment component 14 disclosed above is merely an example, and this application does not limit the specific structure of the adjustment component 14.
[0054] Please combine Figure 2 In some embodiments, a first isolation mesh 15 is provided at the air inlet 112 to form a safety barrier at the air inlet 112 and prevent animals stored in the storage space from extending out along the air inlet 112. Exemplarily, the first isolation mesh 15 can be a wire mesh.
[0055] Please combine Figure 2 In some embodiments, a second isolation mesh 16 is provided at the vent 111 to form a safety barrier at the vent 111, preventing animals stored in the storage space from extending out along the vent 111. Exemplarily, the second isolation mesh 16 can be a wire mesh.
[0056] In some embodiments, a first mounting plate is connected to the upper side of the external attachment 12, and a second mounting plate is connected to the lower side of the external attachment 12. Both the first and second mounting plates are detachably connected to the main attachment 11 via locking members. For example, the locking member can be a screw.
[0057] Thus, during production, the detection component 13 and the adjustment component 14 can be installed into the external compartment 12 to form a modular structure, which is conducive to large-scale production and improves production efficiency. Then, the external compartment 12 with the detection component 13 and the adjustment component 14 installed can be installed onto the rear side wall of the main compartment 11 through locking parts. When maintenance is required, the external compartment 12 can be directly disassembled for maintenance, which is convenient and quick.
[0058] Please combine Figure 3 In some embodiments, the front sidewall of the external compartment 12 faces the rear sidewall of the main compartment 11, and at least one of the top wall, bottom wall, left sidewall, right sidewall, and rear sidewall of the external compartment 12 is provided with heat dissipation mesh 121. This facilitates the exchange of gases inside and outside the external compartment 12, and at the same time, it allows the gas from the exhaust port 111 to be discharged through the heat dissipation mesh 121.
[0059] In some embodiments, the main body 11 further includes a receiving cavity located on the left or right side of the storage space, for housing the controller body; an operation panel 17 is provided on the front sidewall of the main body 11, the operation panel 17 corresponding to the position of the receiving cavity and electrically connected to the controller body, which is also electrically connected to the adjustment assembly 14. Exemplarily, the controller body can be a circuit board or a PLC controller.
[0060] Thus, by embedding the controller body inside the housing cavity and setting it in a position corresponding to the operation panel 17, the circuit layout between the controller body and the operation panel 17 can be optimized, and the intensive care unit can also be made aesthetically pleasing.
[0061] In some embodiments, a light source is also provided on the top wall of the main compartment 11. The light source is electrically connected to the controller body, and the controller body controls the opening and closing of the light source through the operation panel 17 to adjust the brightness of the storage space. For example, the light source can be an LED light.
[0062] Please combine Figure 1 In some embodiments, the front side wall of the main cabin 11 is also provided with a hatch 113. One end of the hatch 113 is hinged to the main cabin 11, and the other end of the hatch 113 is detachably connected to the main cabin 11 by a door lock, so as to facilitate the retrieval and release of pets through the hatch 113.
[0063] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
