Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of poultry incubation equipment, and in particular to a heating structure for an incubator that can utilize waste heat. Background Technology

[0002] The heating structure in an incubator is a core temperature control component in poultry incubation equipment. It primarily maintains a constant and suitable temperature environment within the incubation chamber, and its heat supply efficiency and heat utilization directly determine the hatching success rate and the equipment's energy consumption. In modern large-scale poultry farming, as a crucial link in the incubation process, the energy efficiency level of the heating structure has a decisive impact on the overall hatching effect and operating costs.

[0003] Currently, most incubators use aluminum guide plates as air guiding structures. Although they have good thermal conductivity and can assist in heat transfer to a certain extent, in actual operation, the heat absorbed by the aluminum guide plates during the process of guiding hot air flow is often lost with the airflow and cannot be effectively recovered and reused, resulting in a large amount of waste heat being wasted.

[0004] Therefore, to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, we urgently need a heating structure for incubators that can utilize waste heat to solve this problem. This novel heating structure should be able to effectively recover the waste heat absorbed by the air guide components and use it to preheat the fresh air entering the incubator or to assist the main heating system, thereby significantly reducing overall energy consumption and improving thermal energy utilization efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heating structure for an egg incubator that can utilize waste heat, which solves the problem in the prior art where the heat absorbed by the air guide aluminum plate during the process of guiding the flow of hot air is often lost with the airflow and cannot be effectively recovered and reused, resulting in a large amount of waste heat being wasted.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a heating structure for an incubator that can utilize waste heat, including an incubator box and a top cover connected to the top of the incubator box. An air inlet slot is provided at the center of the top of the incubator box, and several air guide aluminum plates are connected inside the air inlet slot. A heating module connected to the top of the incubator box is provided in the air inlet slot.

[0007] One side of the heating module is provided with a preheating box connected to the top side of the incubator. The top side of the incubator is provided with a ventilation slot. The top side of the preheating box is connected to the ventilation slot through a connecting pipe. The top side of the preheating box is provided with an air outlet.

[0008] The air inlet slot is equipped with a heat-conducting structure that cooperates with the air guide aluminum plate. The preheating box is connected to a heat sink plate, and one end of the heat-conducting structure is connected to the heat sink plate.

[0009] The heat-conducting structure includes a heat-conducting plate 1 and several heat-conducting plates 2. The several heat-conducting plates 2 are respectively connected to the sidewalls of several air-guiding aluminum plates. One side of the heat-conducting plate 1 is connected to the end of several heat-conducting plates 2. One side of the heat-conducting plate 1 is connected to the heat sink fins through several heat-conducting pipes.

[0010] The preheating box has side panels on both sides that are connected to the top of the incubator, and the side panels are detachably connected to the side wall of the preheating box.

[0011] The outer ring of the heat-conducting pipe is connected to a heat-insulating sleeve, and the inner wall of the preheating box is connected to a heat-insulating layer.

[0012] The side plate has several insertion slots on one side, and the preheating box has several insertion rods that are compatible with the insertion slots on both sides.

[0013] The side plate has a positioning groove at the center of one side, and positioning plates that match the positioning groove are fixedly connected to the center of both sides of the preheating box. A positioning screw with one end threaded through the side plate is provided on one side of the side plate, and one end of the positioning screw is connected to the side wall of the positioning plate.

[0014] This invention discloses a heating structure for an incubator that utilizes waste heat. By incorporating a heat-conducting structure that works in conjunction with an aluminum guide plate within the air inlet slot, and connecting one end of this structure to a heat dissipation plate inside the preheating chamber, the waste heat that would otherwise be wasted is successfully directed to the preheating stage. The preheating chamber is connected to the ventilation slot via a connecting pipe, allowing fresh, cool air entering the incubator to be preheated by the heat dissipation plate before entering, effectively reducing the load on the main heating module. The air outlet ensures that the preheated air flows smoothly back into the incubator, maintaining temperature stability. The heating module and air inlet slot are located at the center of the top of the incubator, working with the aluminum guide plate to optimize airflow distribution and improve heating uniformity. The top cover enhances overall sealing, reducing heat loss. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a heating structure for an incubator that can utilize waste heat in this embodiment includes an incubator box 1 and a top cover 3 connected to the top of the incubator box 1. An air inlet 6 is provided at the center of the top of the incubator box 1. Several air guide aluminum plates 7 are connected inside the air inlet 6. A heating module 4 connected to the top of the incubator box 1 is provided in the air inlet 6.

[0025] A preheating box 2 is provided on one side of the heating module 4 and connected to the top side of the incubator 1. A ventilation slot 5 is provided on the top side of the incubator 1. The top side of the preheating box 2 is connected to the ventilation slot 5 through a connecting pipe 8. An air outlet 9 is provided on the top side of the other side of the preheating box 2.

[0026] The air inlet slot 6 has a heat-conducting structure that works with the air guide aluminum plate 7. The preheating box 2 has a heat sink 10 connected inside, and one end of the heat-conducting structure is connected to the heat sink 10.

[0027] The workflow is as follows: During the operation of the incubator, fresh external air first enters through the ventilation slot 5 located at the top of one side of the incubator box 1, and then is introduced into the preheating box 2 through the connecting pipe 8. At the same time, the heating module 4 heats the internal air at the center of the top of the incubator box 1. As the hot air flows, it passes through several air guide aluminum plates 7 in the air inlet slot 6. The air guide aluminum plates 7 absorb some of the heat due to their good thermal conductivity. The air inlet slot 6 is equipped with a heat-conducting structure that cooperates with the air guide aluminum plates 7. This heat-conducting structure efficiently transfers the residual heat absorbed by the air guide aluminum plates 7. The heat is directed to the heat dissipation plate 10 connected inside the preheating box 2; the heat dissipation plate 10 releases heat in the preheating box 2 to preheat the cold air entering from the ventilation slot 5 through the connecting pipe 8; the preheated air enters the incubator 1 through the air outlet 9 opened on the top of the other side of the preheating box 2 and participates in the overall temperature control cycle; the top cover 3 is connected to the top of the incubator 1 and plays a role in sealing and heat preservation, ensuring that the heat is effectively circulated and utilized in the system. The whole process realizes the recovery and reuse of the residual heat absorbed by the air guide aluminum plate 7, avoiding the problem of heat being directly lost with the airflow in the traditional structure.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a heating structure for an incubator that utilizes waste heat. The heat-conducting structure includes a first heat-conducting plate 12 and several second heat-conducting plates 13. The second heat-conducting plates 13 are respectively connected to the sidewalls of several air-guiding aluminum plates 7. One side of the first heat-conducting plate 12 is connected to the end of the several second heat-conducting plates 13. One side of the first heat-conducting plate 12 is connected to the heat dissipation plate 10 via several heat-conducting pipes 15. Specifically, the second heat-conducting plates 13 are respectively connected to the sidewalls of the several air-guiding aluminum plates 7. The arrangement of connecting one side of the heat-conducting plate 12 to the ends of several heat-conducting plates 13 and connecting the other side of the heat-conducting plate 12 to the heat sink 10 via several heat-conducting pipes 15 allows the air guide aluminum plate 7 to quickly collect the heat from the hot air through the heat-conducting plates 13 to the heat-conducting plate 12, and then efficiently conduct the heat to the heat sink 10 in the preheating box 2 via the heat-conducting pipes 15. This achieves the effects of improving the efficiency of waste heat collection, enhancing the continuity of the heat conduction path, and ensuring the stable delivery of waste heat to the preheating stage.

[0030] The outer ring of the heat pipe 15 is connected to the heat insulation sleeve 14, and the inner wall of the preheating box 2 is connected to the insulation layer 11. Specifically, by setting the heat insulation sleeve 14 on the outer ring of the heat pipe 15 and the insulation layer 11 on the inner wall of the preheating box 2, the heat pipe 15 reduces heat loss to the surrounding environment during the process of transporting heat from the air inlet slot 6 area to the preheating box 2. At the same time, the insulation layer 11 effectively prevents the heat inside the preheating box 2 from dissipating outward, thereby improving the waste heat transfer efficiency, enhancing the insulation performance of the preheating box 2, and ensuring that the cold air is fully preheated.

[0031] Example 3

[0032] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown in this embodiment, a heating structure for an incubator that can utilize waste heat is provided on both sides of the preheating box 2, which is connected to the top of the incubating box 1. The side plates 18 are detachably connected to the side walls of the preheating box 2. Specifically, by providing side plates 18 connected to the top of the incubating box 1 on both sides of the preheating box 2, and by detachably connecting the side plates 18 to the side walls of the preheating box 2, the preheating box 2 can be easily disassembled from the side when it needs to be inspected, cleaned, or the internal heat dissipation fins 10 are replaced. This achieves the effects of improving equipment maintenance convenience, shortening downtime, and facilitating the maintenance of internal components.

[0033] Several insertion slots 19 are provided on one side of the side plate 18, and several insertion rods 20 that are compatible with the insertion slots 19 are connected to both sides of the preheating box 2. Specifically, by providing several insertion slots 19 on one side of the side plate 18 and several insertion rods 20 that are compatible with the insertion slots 19 on both sides of the preheating box 2, the preheating box 2 can be quickly inserted into the insertion slots 19 of the side plate 18 during installation to achieve initial positioning and connection. This simplifies the assembly process, improves installation accuracy, and prevents the preheating box 2 from shifting during operation.

[0034] A positioning groove 16 is provided at the center of one side of the side plate 18. Positioning plates 21 that are compatible with the positioning groove 16 are fixedly connected to the center of both sides of the preheating box 2. A positioning screw 17 with one end threaded through the side plate 18 is provided on one side of the side plate 18. One end of the positioning screw 17 is connected to the side wall of the positioning plate 21. Specifically, by providing a positioning groove 16 at the center of one side of the side plate 18, fixing positioning plates 21 that are compatible with the positioning groove 16 at the center of both sides of the preheating box 2, and providing a positioning screw 17 with one end threaded through the side plate 18 and connected to the side wall of the positioning plate 21, the positioning plate 21 can be firmly locked in the positioning groove 16 by tightening the positioning screw 17 after the preheating box 2 is initially positioned by insertion. This achieves the effect of enhancing the stability of the connection between the preheating box 2 and the side plate 18, preventing loosening due to equipment vibration, and ensuring long-term reliable sealing of the system.

[0035] During the operation of the incubator, fresh air from outside first enters through the ventilation slot 5 set on the top side of the incubator box 1, and then is introduced into the preheating box 2 through the connecting pipe 8. At the same time, the heating module 4 heats the internal air at the center of the top of the incubator box 1. The hot air passes through several air guide aluminum plates 7 in the air inlet slot 6 during circulation. The air guide aluminum plates 7 absorb some heat due to their good thermal conductivity. The air inlet slot 6 is equipped with a heat-conducting structure, which consists of several heat-conducting plates 13, heat-conducting plates 12, and several heat-conducting pipes 15. The heat-conducting plates 13 are tightly connected to the side walls of each air guide aluminum plate 7 to quickly collect the residual heat absorbed by the air guide aluminum plates 7 and then collect it to the heat-conducting plates 12. The heat-conducting plates 12 conduct heat to the heat dissipation fins 10 connected inside the preheating box 2 through several heat-conducting pipes 15. In order to reduce heat loss during the transmission process, the outer ring of the heat-conducting pipes 15 is covered with a heat-insulating sleeve 14 to effectively block heat loss to the surrounding environment. The heat dissipation fins 10 release heat inside the preheating chamber 2, efficiently preheating the cold air entering from the connecting pipe 8. The insulation layer 11 on the inner wall of the preheating chamber 2 further reduces internal heat leakage, ensuring the preheating effect. The preheated air finally enters the incubator 1 through the air outlet 9 on the top of the other side of the preheating chamber 2, participating in the overall temperature control cycle. The preheating chamber 2 is initially positioned and installed by inserting the plug rods 20 connected to its two sides into the plug slots 19 on one side of the side plate 18. The side plate 18 is fixed to the top of the incubator 1. To further enhance the connection stability, the positioning plates 21 at the center of both sides of the preheating chamber 2 are embedded in the positioning slots 16 at the center of one side of the side plate 18. The preheating chamber 2 and the side plate 18 are firmly locked by tightening the positioning screws 17, which have one end threaded through the side plate 18 and connected to the side wall of the positioning plate 21. The top cover 3 covers the top of the incubator 1, providing overall sealing and insulation, preventing heat loss, and ensuring efficient recycling of heat energy within the system.

[0036] This device effectively solves the problem of energy waste caused by the unrecoverable waste heat absorbed by the aluminum guide plate 7 in existing incubators through the coordinated operation of the above-mentioned structures: the heat conduction plate 2 13, the heat conduction plate 12, and the heat conduction pipe 15 form an efficient heat conduction path, which, combined with the heat insulation sleeve 14, significantly improves the efficiency of waste heat collection and transmission; the heat dissipation plate 10 and the insulation layer 11 work together to ensure that the cold air is fully preheated, reducing the operating load of the heating module 4; the preheating box 2 is quickly assembled through the plug-in rod 20 and the plug-in slot 19, and then the positioning plate 21, the positioning slot 16, and the positioning screw 17 complete the precise positioning and firm locking, which is convenient for maintenance and disassembly, and prevents loosening and heat leakage during operation; the side plate 18 serves as a connecting carrier, so that the preheating box 2 is stably integrated on the top of the incubator 1; the ventilation slot 5, the connecting pipe 8, and the air outlet 9 together form a fresh air preheating passage, realizing the closed-loop utilization of waste heat; the top cover 3 strengthens the overall sealing and reduces heat loss.

Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
