Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an incubator, and more particularly to an incubator that prevents a tube inserted through an insertion notch communicating with an opening in a hood from coming off toward the opening. .

The hood of the incubator has tubes for supplying fluids such as oxygen, blood, and Ringer's solution to the nursery room inside the hood, and cutouts for inserting lead wires for various monitors such as electrocardiogram measurements. is provided. This insertion notch is normally in communication with an opening provided in the hood section for taking the newborn in and out, and this opening is normally closed by a door that can be opened and closed. Therefore, in this closed state, it is impossible for the tubes and lead wires to come off toward the opening, but when the door is opened and closed, there is a risk that these tubes and the like will come off toward the opening. In particular, if you overlook that the tube has come off toward the opening and close the opening/closing door, the tube, etc. may become caught in the opening/closing door, cutting off the supply of oxygen, etc., or the monitor lead wire If the equipment is damaged, an extremely serious accident may occur.

The present invention was devised to correct the above-mentioned defects, and by providing a rotatable locking member between the opening and the insertion notch, It is an object of the present invention to provide an incubator which prevents a tube, etc. inserted through the incubator from accidentally coming off toward the opening side and being caught in the opening/closing door.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows the hood part 2 of the incubator 1, and the hood part 2 is made of transparent synthetic resin.
It has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a nursery room 3 is formed inside it. The hood part 2 is provided with a horizontally elongated opening 4 on its front side, and a newborn baby can be accommodated in the nursery room 3 through this opening 4. The opening 4 is closed by an opening/closing door 5, and this opening/closing door 5 has two opening/closing doors.
Two maintenance windows 6 and 7 are provided. In addition, the first
Reference numerals 8 and 9 in the figure are hinges provided at the lower end of the door 5, by which the door 5 is rotatably supported.

The hood part 2 has an opening 4 as shown in FIG.
Insertion notches 10 and 11 are provided on the left and right side edges of the housing, respectively. These insertion notches 10, 11
For example, regarding the insertion notch 10, the main part thereof is circular as shown in FIG. Slightly narrow insertion section 12
It is communicated with the opening 4 by. Note that the insertion notch 11 is configured symmetrically with the notch 10, and only the insertion notch 10 will be explained below.
Description regarding the insertion notch 11 will be omitted.

A pin hole 13 is provided above the insertion notch 10 as shown in FIG.
A support pin 15 is attached to. The cover plate 14 is rotatably attached to the front side of the hood portion 2 by means of support pins 15. Note that when a tube or the like is not inserted into the insertion notch 10, the insertion notch 10 is covered with a cover plate 14 as shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, another pin hole 16 is provided above the insertion portion 12, and a locking member 17 is attached from the inside of the hood portion 2 and is secured by a support pin 18 inserted through the hole 16. It is rotatably supported. This locking member 17 is composed of an arm plate portion 19 and a bent portion 20 provided at the lower end of this arm plate portion 19 at an angle. Note that the upper end of the arm plate portion 19 has a pin hole 2 through which the support pin 18 is inserted.
1 is provided. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the lower end of the bent portion 20 of this locking member 17 abuts against the inner corner 22 of the insertion portion 12, and as shown in FIGS. It is configured so that rotation in the clockwise direction is restricted. Furthermore, the locking member 17 is configured to naturally rotate under its own weight to the position shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, thereby closing the insertion portion 12.

Next, the operation of the incubator having the above configuration will be described.

When inserting the tube 23 for supplying fluids such as oxygen and blood into the nursery room 3 through the insertion notch 10 as shown in FIG. 4, the tube 23 is inserted from the insertion portion 12. At this time, the locking member 17
Since the bent portion 20 is pushed by the tube 23 and easily rotates clockwise in FIG.
The tube 23 can be smoothly inserted into the insertion notch 10. Next, even if the tube 23 tries to move toward the opening 4 for some reason, the insertion portion 12 is closed by the locking member 17, and the locking member 17 has its bent portion 20 in contact with the corner portion 22, and the insertion portion 12 is closed by the locking member 17. Since the tube 23 cannot be rotated counterclockwise in FIG. 4, the tube 23 will not come off toward the opening 4 side. Therefore, even if the door 5 is opened or closed, the tube 23 is not connected to the door 5.
Situations in which the supply of oxygen, blood, medical solutions, etc. is cut off due to being pinched by the patient are reliably prevented.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the structures shown in the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made based on the technical idea of the present invention. For example, by attaching a spring to the fulcrum pin 18 of the locking member 17, the locking member 17 is
The insertion portion 12 may be closed more reliably by applying a slight rotation force in the counterclockwise direction in the figures and FIG. 4.

As described above, the present invention is configured such that the movement of the tube, etc., inserted into the insertion notch for inserting the tube, etc., toward the opening side is restricted by the locking member. , there have been no cases of tubes inserted into the insertion notches accidentally coming off to the opening side when opening/closing the opening/closing door, and getting caught by the opening/closing door, improving the safety of the incubator. be able to. In addition, it is structurally much simpler than the conventional one in which a rubber gasket or the like is attached to the insertion notch, so it is very convenient for disinfection and wiping operations. Further, the locking member can be easily attached to an existing product, and an incubator with high safety can be obtained at low cost.
