Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of incubator technology, and in particular to a constant temperature box incubator. Background Technology
[0002] A constant temperature box incubator is a device that simulates the natural incubation environment through a precise temperature control system. It is mainly used for the artificial incubation of poultry eggs (such as chicken, duck, and goose eggs). Its core feature is that it uses electric heating or a combination of energy sources (such as coal or liquefied petroleum gas) to maintain a constant temperature, and uses an intelligent temperature control module (such as a microcomputer or single-chip microcomputer system) to control the temperature fluctuation inside the box within ±0.1℃. It is also equipped with humidity control, ventilation, and egg turning functions to ensure the stability of embryo development.
[0003] Currently available ostrich egg incubators cannot adjust the incubation plate according to different sizes of ostrich eggs, which can easily lead to the ostrich eggs not being securely fixed or being damaged due to excessive pressure. They have certain limitations and low adaptability.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a constant temperature box incubator to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a constant-temperature incubator with an adjustable structure that allows for adjustment of the spacing between the incubation plates. This enables the securing of ostrich eggs of different sizes, provides appropriate pressure, enhances stability, and facilitates egg turning. The incubator also features a disassembly structure for quick replacement of the incubation plates, improving cleaning efficiency and preventing cross-contamination.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A constant temperature box-type incubator includes an incubator, the front of which is rotatably connected to two door panels via hinges, the interior of which is provided with two rotating seats and a rotating base, both of which are fixedly connected with an adjustment structure, and the interior of which is provided with two first incubation plates and a second incubation plate, both ends of which are provided with a disassembly structure.

A slider is threaded onto the external thread of the threaded rod. A second incubation plate and a first incubation plate are respectively engaged on one side of the rotating seat and the slider. By using the above technical solution and setting an adjustment structure, the spacing of the incubation plates can be adjusted, thereby fixing ostrich eggs of different sizes and improving the adaptability of the device.
[0007] Furthermore, the disassembly structure includes a slide groove located inside the first incubation plate and the second incubation plate. A compression spring is fixedly connected inside the slide groove. A limit plate is fixedly connected to one end of the compression spring. A locking pin is fixedly connected to the side of the limit plate away from the compression spring. A moving rod is fixedly connected to one side of the limit plate. A pull rod is fixedly connected to one side of the moving rod. The rotating seat and the adjusting motor are both provided with locking slots inside. The locking pin engages with the locking slots. By implementing the above technical solution and setting up a disassembly structure, the incubation board can be quickly disassembled and replaced, improving maintenance and cleaning efficiency, extending equipment lifespan, avoiding cross-contamination, and increasing the hatching probability.
[0008] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two rotating seats, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the incubator. A second rotating rod is provided in the middle of the two rotating shafts, and a first rotating rod is provided at the bottom of the second rotating rod. A rotating motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first rotating rod.

A rotating column is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating seat, and the rotating column is rotatably connected to the incubator. The above technical solution, which includes a rotating motor, a rotating rod, and a bevel gear, can drive the incubation plate to rotate, thereby turning the ostrich eggs over, preventing the embryo from sticking to the eggshell, improving the uniformity of heating during embryonic development, and increasing the hatching success rate.
[0009] Furthermore, the incubator is equipped with a water tank inside, and the top and bottom of the water tank are respectively fixedly connected to a water inlet and two nozzles; By using the above technical solution and setting up a water tank, the incubator can maintain a suitable humidity environment, thereby improving the success rate of hatching.
[0010] Furthermore, multiple incubation troughs are provided on one side of both the first incubation board and the second incubation board; By using the above technical solution, the incubation tank can be matched to the size of the ostrich eggs, provide appropriate pressure, reduce wear between the incubation board and the ostrich eggs, and improve the stability of the ostrich eggs.
[0011] Furthermore, a controller is fixedly connected to one side of the incubator; By using the above technical solutions, a controller can be set up to achieve automated management, which is convenient to operate and reduces the difficulty of work and labor costs.
[0012] Furthermore, both door panels are fixedly connected to an observation window inside; By using the above technical solution and setting up an observation window, the hatching process can be monitored in real time, and a timely response can be made to special situations, thereby improving the response rate.
[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention proposes a constant temperature box-type incubator, which, through the setting of an adjustment structure, uses an adjustment motor and a threaded rod to control the lifting and lowering of the first incubation plate, thereby adjusting the distance between the first and second incubation plates. This allows for the application of appropriate pressure to ostrich eggs of different sizes, providing stable fixation while avoiding uneven pressure on the eggs, which could affect the uniformity of embryonic development. This improves the adaptability and flexibility of the equipment, ensures efficient gas exchange and temperature conduction while reducing local pressure, minimizing the risk of shell breakage, and increasing the hatching success rate.
[0014] 2. The constant temperature box incubator proposed in this utility model has a disassembly structure. By using the locking pin and the locking slot, the first incubation plate and the second incubation plate can be locked and fixed with the slider and the rotating seat respectively. Pulling the pull rod drives the moving rod to move, thereby pulling the locking pin to disengage it from the locking slot, so that the first incubation plate and the second incubation plate can be unlocked and removed. The operation is simple, the disassembly is convenient, the maintenance and cleaning efficiency is improved, the downtime is reduced, the maintenance cost is reduced, the service life of the equipment is extended, cross-contamination is avoided, and the hatching probability is increased.

A second rotating rod 14 is located between the two rotating shafts 18. A first rotating rod 13 is located at the bottom of the second rotating rod 14. A rotating motor 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first rotating rod 13. The rotating shaft 1... One end of the first rotating rod 13 and both ends of the second rotating rod 14 are fixedly connected to bevel gears 19, which mesh with each other. A rotating column 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating seat 20, and the rotating column 21 is rotatably connected to the incubator 1. The rotating motor 12, the rotating rods, and the bevel gears 19 are installed to drive the incubation plate to rotate, thereby turning the ostrich eggs over, preventing the embryo from sticking to the eggshell, improving the uniformity of heating for embryo development, and increasing the hatching success rate. The incubator 1 is equipped with a water tank 6. The top and bottom of the water tank 6 are fixedly connected to water inlets 7 and two nozzles 8, respectively. The water tank 6 allows the water inside the incubator 1 to be heated. To improve the success rate of hatching, the first incubation plate 9 and the second incubation plate 10 are each equipped with multiple incubation troughs 11 on one side. The incubation troughs 11 are designed to match the size of the ostrich eggs, provide appropriate pressure, reduce wear between the incubation plate and the ostrich eggs, and improve the stability of the ostrich eggs. A controller 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the incubator 1. The controller 4 enables automated management, facilitates operation, and reduces work difficulty and labor costs. Observation windows 3 are fixedly connected inside the two door panels 2. The observation windows 3 allow for real-time monitoring of the hatching process and timely response to special circumstances, thus improving the reaction rate.
[0019] Reference Figure 4-5The disassembly structure 5 includes a slide 501 located inside the first incubation plate 9 and the second incubation plate 10. A compression spring 502 is fixedly connected inside the slide 501. A limit plate 503 is fixedly connected to one end of the compression spring 502. A locking post 504 is fixedly connected to the side of the limit plate 503 away from the compression spring 502. A moving rod 505 is fixedly connected to one side of the limit plate 503. A pull rod 506 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving rod 505. The rotating seat 16 and the adjusting motor 1501 are both provided with a locking groove 17. The locking post 504 is engaged with the locking groove 17. The disassembly structure 5 enables the incubation plates to be quickly disassembled and replaced, improving maintenance and cleaning efficiency, extending the service life of the equipment, avoiding cross-contamination, and increasing the hatching probability.
[0020] Working principle: When this constant temperature box incubator is working, if it is necessary to adjust the spacing of the incubation plates to accommodate ostrich eggs of different sizes, the controller 4 starts the adjusting motor 1501. The output end of the adjusting motor 1501 drives the threaded rod 1502 to rotate, causing the slider 1503 to move along the axial direction of the threaded rod 1502, thereby moving the first incubation plate 9 that is engaged with it, thus adjusting the distance between the first incubation plate 9 and the second incubation plate 10. When it is necessary to turn the eggs during incubation, the controller 4 starts the rotating motor 12. The output end of the rotating motor 12 drives the first rotating rod 13 to rotate. The first rotating rod 13 drives the second rotating rod 14 and the two rotating shafts 18 to rotate through the meshing of the bevel gear 19. The rotation of the rotating shafts 18 will drive the rotating seat 16 and the rotating seat 20. The rotation causes the first incubation plate 9 and the second incubation plate 10 to rotate. When humidity adjustment is needed, the controller 4 controls the spray frequency and water volume of the nozzle 8 at the bottom of the water tank 6 to maintain a suitable humidity environment inside the incubator 1 and improve the success rate of hatching. The bottom of the incubator 1 is equipped with a ventilation layer for timed air exchange to effectively ensure gas circulation. When the incubation plate needs to be disassembled for cleaning or maintenance, pull the lever 506. The lever 506 drives the moving rod 505 to move. The moving rod 505 pulls the limit plate 503, causing the locking post 504 on the limit plate 503 to disengage from the locking slot 17. At this time, the connection between the incubation plate and the slider 1503 or the rotating seat 16 is released, and the operator can easily remove the incubation plate. When the incubation plate needs to be installed, the operation is reversed.
