The illustrated incubator according to the invention comprises a base 10 having a native support 12 and a and a hood 14 attached to the base 10 and surrounding the native support 12. In addition, The growing device has an air conditioner that has been adjusted inside the base 1o and below the native tree support 12. The conditioned air is circulated from below the native support to the hood 14, and The hood 14 is provided with air conditioning means for returning from the hood 5 to below the native support. use Other details of the native support that can now be generated and circulated conditioned air See US Pat. No. 3,335,713 for the device.

The incubator constructed according to the present invention is further provided with a signal representing the environmental conditions within the hood 14. a first sensing means for generating a signal; and a second sensing means for generating a signal representing the condition of the tip in the hood. Provide a step. The first stage of sensing means is placed at an appropriate position within the hood 14, for example. The hood has a thermometer that generates a signal representing the temperature inside the hood. 2nd sensing The means may, for example, include a skin temperature probe attached to the tip rod and represent the temperature of the tip rod. Generate a signal. Used to monitor incubator conditions and tip bar conditions Further details of the various sensors available are also found in U.S. Patent No. 3.335.71. Please refer to No. 3.

The incubator constructed according to the present invention further includes controlling the environment within the hood 14 and controlling the environment within the hood 14. a control and display module that displays the environmental conditions in the hood and the conditions of the tip in the hood; 16 will be provided. The control and display module 16 includes, for example, temperature, humidity, oxygen content, The amount and circulation rate of the regulated air introduced into the hood 14 can be controlled. It has a plurality of control members 18. The control and display module 16 further includes a frame. Multiple parameters that can display various parameters of the board environment and physical conditions of the tip rod Displays 20 are provided.

The circuit for performing the desired control and displaying the desired display has a conventional structure and operation. can do.

The control and display module 16 is mounted away from the hood at eye level of an upright adult. and placed above the hood 14. The positioning of the control and display module 16 includes: The hood 14 is moved toward the open position about an axis extending along the rear side of the base 10. The movement of the hood 14 is not obstructed when the hood 14 is rotated.

As best shown in FIG. This vertical post 22 has its lower end attached to the base 10 for control and display purposes. Attach the module to its top edge. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the control and The display module 16 is mounted rotatably about at least an axis. this The results control and display module allows the person attending the tip in the incubator to treat the tip. Adapts to your needs when monitoring tip rod and incubator conditions from a remote location. It can be positioned exactly as you like.

The control and display module 16 includes a support arm 24 attached to a post 22 and a control Bracket 26 with control and display module 16 mounted thereon, and support arm and bracket. through vertically aligned apertures formed in the racket and containing a control and display module. It is attached to the post 22 by a sleeve 28 that defines a vertical axis around which the lever rotates.

A locking mechanism is provided to fix the position of the control and display module 16. Main source shown In the embodiment according to Akira, this locking mechanism is attached to the bracket 26 and attached to the support arm. It has a release latch 30 that is rotatable to move toward or away from the system 24.

The release latch 3o carries a pin 32, and the release latch is moved close to the support arm. When moved apart, this pin 32 passes through a series of openings 3 formed in the support arm 24. 4. Make it movable so that it can enter and exit.

The release latch is secured by a leaf spring 36 attached to the bracket 26 and pressed against the release latch 30. the pin 32 carried by the release latch opens in the opening 3. 4 to lock the control and display module 16 in place. I will do it. To move the control and display module, release latch 3o leaf spring, moves away from support arm 24 against the action of pin 32; is retracted from the opening 34. When the pin 32 is removed from the opening 34, the control and display When the display module 16 is moved to the desired position and the release latch 30 is released, the pin 32 can enter opening 34 at the new location of the control and display module.

An incubator constructed in accordance with the present invention further includes a control and display module 16 and an air conditioner. Transmitting and receiving means are provided for transmitting and receiving signals between the stage and the first and second sensing means. Ru. This transmitting/receiving means is connected to the connector 40 of the base IO and the control and display module 1. 6 and has a wire 38 between it. Also a corpse in the hood 14 and air conditioning means The provided sensor is electrically connected to the connector 40 in a conventional manner. in this way The control member 18 of the control and display module controls the operation of the air conditioning means to control the environment within the board 14 and via the display 20 of the control and display module. Displays the environmental conditions inside the hood and the conditions of the carcass inside this hood. Illustrated embodiment , the post 22 is made hollow and the wire 38 is pulled from the base 10 into the post. Get into it. The wire 38 extends from the post 22 and below the support arm 24. Up the sleeve 28 is the control and display module I6.

The foregoing merely describes the preferred embodiments of the invention, but does not reflect the true spirit of the invention. Of course, various modifications may be made within the scope of the invention and the claims.
