Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of infant incubator technology, and in particular to a spliced ​​heat preservation structure for a constant temperature cover of an infant incubator. Background Technology

[0002] An infant incubator mainly consists of an infant chamber, a temperature controller, an incubator housing, and a blue light irradiation lamp box. Its function is to provide an environment similar to the womb for premature infants, sick or weak infants, and newborns. A similar infant incubator is disclosed in utility model patent publication number CN213526097U.

[0003] Traditional infant incubators have an outer shell made of acrylic panels. Although they are equipped with a temperature control system, their insulation performance is poor, which can easily lead to heat loss. This results in increased power consumption of the temperature control system and is not conducive to energy consumption control. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a modular insulation structure for the constant temperature enclosure of an infant incubator. This structure enhances the insulation capacity of the infant compartment, reduces the operating power consumption of the constant temperature system, and is more conducive to energy consumption control.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method:

[0006] A modular insulation structure for a constant temperature enclosure of an infant incubator includes an infant compartment. The enclosure of the infant compartment includes four surrounding panels and a top cover covering the four surrounding panels. The panel located at the back of the infant compartment is defined as a back panel. The back panel has a through groove communicating with the inner cavity of the infant compartment. The outside of the through groove is covered by a cover for closing the opening of the through groove. The cover includes several sealing plates that are sequentially spliced ​​horizontally. An insulation board is attached to the covering surface of the sealing plate. A reflective layer for reflecting human body heat radiation is attached to the inner side of the insulation board. The sealing plate and the back panel are detachably connected.

[0007] Using the above solution, the insulation panel located at the back of the infant cabin reduces heat loss within the cabin. By reflecting the heat radiation generated by the infant's own body through the reflective layer, it further enhances insulation performance, effectively reducing the operating power consumption of the infant cabin's temperature control system and improving energy efficiency. By separately mounting the insulation panel onto the sealing plate and designing the sealing plate to be detachable, both the insulation panel and the reflective layer can be replaced individually, improving ease of replacement and reducing costs. Placing the insulation panel at the back of the infant cabin allows medical staff to easily observe the condition of the cabin and facilitates operation, making it more user-friendly.

[0008] Preferably, the insulation board and the sealing board are connected by double-sided adhesive tape.

[0009] The above solution facilitates the replacement of insulation boards while ensuring the stability of the connection between the insulation boards and the sealing boards.

[0010] Preferably, a connecting seat is provided on the outer side of the back plate and below the through groove, a connecting plate that is inserted into the connecting seat extends from the lower end of the sealing plate, and the upper end of the sealing plate is detachably connected to the top of the through groove.

[0011] Using the above solution, the plug-in connection between the connecting plate and the connecting seat can quickly achieve pre-positioning of the lower end of the sealing plate with the lower side of the through groove. The detachable connection between the upper end of the sealing plate and the upper part of the through groove enables complete positioning and quick disassembly of the sealing plate, thereby improving assembly and disassembly efficiency and convenience.

[0012] Preferably, the upper end of the sealing plate extends with a positioning plate, which is magnetically attached to the top of the through groove.

[0013] Preferably, the cover surface of the positioning plate is provided with a first magnetic element, and the outer side of the back plate and above the through groove is provided with a second magnetic element for the first magnetic element to be magnetically attracted.

[0014] The above solution features a simple magnetic attraction structure, convenient operation, low cost, and ensures stability after docking.

[0015] Preferably, a first gripping element is provided on the outer side of the positioning plate.

[0016] By adopting the above solution, the first gripper is easier to bear force, which can effectively improve the efficiency and convenience of disassembling and assembling the positioning plate.

[0017] Preferably, the upper surface of the connector is provided with a connecting groove for the connector plate to be inserted, and the inner side of the connector plate is provided with an inclined surface.

[0018] By adopting the above solution, the inclined surface opened on the inner side of the connecting plate can provide the connecting plate with a certain amount of clearance, so that when the sealing plate is disassembled, it can be tilted outward at a certain angle to complete the separation of the first magnetic component and the second magnetic component, thereby facilitating the separation of the sealing plate from the connecting seat and further improving the installation efficiency and convenience of the sealing plate.

[0019] Preferably, a sealing strip is slidably engaged between adjacent sealing plates. An upper mounting seat and a lower mounting seat are respectively provided on the outer side of the back plate and on the upper and lower sides of the sealing plates. The upper mounting seat has a through hole for the sealing strip to pass through, and the upper surface of the lower mounting seat has a slot for the sealing strip to be inserted.

[0020] Using the above solution, the sealing strip that slides and engages between two adjacent sealing plates can seal the gap between the two sealing plates. At the same time, with the upper and lower mounting bases, it can effectively lock the two adjacent sealing plates, further improving the connection stability between the sealing plate and the back plate.

[0021] Preferably, each of the adjacent sealing plates has a sliding groove on its opposite edge for the two sides of the seal to slide and engage.

[0022] By adopting the above solution, the cooperation between the seal and the sliding slot can not only complete the sliding engagement between the seal and the two adjacent sealing plates, but also effectively improve the sealing performance between the seal and the sealing plates, further increasing the dustproof capability of the back panel, making the environment inside the baby cabin cleaner and more hygienic.

[0023] Preferably, a second gripping element is provided at the upper end of the seal.

[0024] By adopting the above solution, the second gripper can not only limit the sealing strip inserted into the upper mounting base so that it cannot be separated from the upper and lower mounting bases, but also make it convenient for medical staff to insert and remove the sealing strip, thereby further improving the efficiency and convenience of operation.

[0025] This invention, employing the above technical solutions, achieves significant technical benefits: the insulation panel located at the back of the infant cabin reduces heat loss within the cabin, and the reflective layer reflects the heat radiation generated by the infant's own body, further enhancing insulation performance. This effectively reduces the operating power consumption of the infant cabin's temperature control system, making energy consumption control more efficient. By separately mounting the insulation panel onto the sealing plate and designing the sealing plate to be detachable, the insulation panel and reflective layer can be replaced individually, improving ease of replacement and reducing replacement costs. Placing the insulation panel at the back of the infant cabin allows medical staff to easily observe the condition of the infant cabin, while also facilitating operation and enhancing user-friendliness.

[0037] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses a modular insulation structure for a constant temperature enclosure of an infant incubator, including an infant chamber 1. A base 24 is installed at the bottom of the infant chamber 1, and a support 25 is installed below the base 24. Rollers 26 are fixed to the bottom of the support 25 and at its four corners to facilitate the movement of the infant incubator. The enclosure of the infant chamber 1 includes four surrounding panels 2 and a top cover 3 covering the four surrounding panels 2. Both the surrounding panels 2 and the top cover 3 are made of transparent acrylic sheets, thus providing good visibility and facilitating medical personnel to observe the situation inside the infant chamber 1. For ease of description, the surrounding panel 2 located on the back of the infant chamber 1 is defined as the back panel 4. The back panel 4 has a square through-slot 5 communicating with the inner cavity of the infant chamber 1. A square cap for sealing the opening of the through-slot 5 is covered on the outside of the through-slot 5. The area of ​​the cap is larger than the opening of the through-slot 5, thus ensuring that it can completely seal the through-slot 5. The cover comprises three horizontally spliced ​​cover plates 6. An insulation board 7, made of insulating foam, is attached to the cover surface of each cover plate 6 and connected to the cover plate 6 with double-sided adhesive. A reflective layer 8, made of PET polyester film, is attached to the inner side of the insulation board 7 to reflect human body heat radiation.

[0039] To facilitate the independent assembly and disassembly of the sealing plate 6 and the insulation plate 7, the sealing plate 6 and the back plate 4 are detachably connected. Specifically, a connecting seat 9 is integrally provided on the outer side of the back plate 4 below the through groove 5, a connecting plate 10 extending from the lower end of the sealing plate 6 and inserted into the connecting seat 9, and the upper end of the sealing plate 6 is detachably connected to the upper part of the through groove 5. In this embodiment, a positioning plate 11 extends from the upper end of the sealing plate 6, and the positioning plate 11 is magnetically attracted to the upper part of the through groove 5. Specifically, a first magnetic element 12 is fixed to the cover surface of the positioning plate 11, and a second magnetic element 13 for the first magnetic element 12 to be magnetically attracted is fixed on the outer side of the back plate 4 above the through groove 5. Both the first magnetic element 12 and the second magnetic element 13 are permanent magnets, thus possessing stable and durable magnetism.

[0040] To facilitate the operation of the positioning plate 11, a first grip 14 is provided on the outer side of the positioning plate 11. The first grip 14 is a downwardly bent arc plate, which can facilitate the bearing of force and prevent the protruding part from injuring the operator.

[0041] To facilitate the disassembly of the sealing plate 6 by medical staff, the upper surface of the connecting seat 9 is provided with a connecting groove 15 for the connecting plate 10 to be inserted, and the inner side of the connecting plate 10 is provided with an inclined surface 16, so that the connecting plate 10 and the sealing plate 6 can be tilted outward at a certain angle, thereby improving the ease of disassembly and assembly of the sealing plate 6.

[0042] To fill the gap between adjacent sealing plates 6 and completely lock the sealing plates 6, each of the opposite edges of the adjacent sealing plates 6 is provided with a sliding groove 22 along its own length direction, which allows the two sides of the sealing strip 17 to slide and engage, thereby realizing the sliding engagement between the sealing strip 17 and the two sealing plates 6. An upper mounting base 18 and a lower mounting base 19 are fixed to the outer side of the back plate 4 and to the upper and lower sides of the sealing plates 6, respectively. The upper mounting base 18 has a through hole 20 for the sealing strip 17 to pass through, and the upper surface of the lower mounting base 19 has a slot 21 for the sealing strip 17 to be inserted. A second gripping member 23 is provided at the upper end of the sealing strip 17. The second gripping member 23 is bent outwards, which not only improves the ease of insertion and removal of the sealing strip 17 but also prevents the sealing strip 17 from sliding down from the upper mounting base 18.

[0043] The specific usage process is as follows:

[0044] When installing the insulation board 7, first glue the side of the insulation board 7 away from the reflective layer 8 to the covering surface of the sealing plate 6. Then, insert the connecting plate 10 on the sealing plate 6 into the connecting groove 15 of the corresponding connecting seat 9 to achieve pre-positioning. Next, push the positioning plate 11 and the sealing plate 6 towards the back plate 4 until the first magnetic element 12 is magnetically attracted to the second magnetic element 13, thus completing the initial installation of the sealing plate 6. After all the sealing plates 6 are installed, insert the sealing strip 17 into the through hole 20 of the upper mounting seat 18 and the slot 21 of the lower mounting seat 19 in sequence. During this process, the two sides of the sealing strip 17 can slide and engage with the sliding slots 22 of the two adjacent sealing plates 6 respectively, to fill the gap between the two adjacent sealing plates 6 and completely lock the sealing plates 6, thereby completing the installation of the insulation board 7.

[0045] To remove the insulation board 7, simply reverse the installation process described above. After removing the old insulation board 7 from the removed sealing plate 6, simply reattach the new insulation board 7.
