Description

{INCUBATOR WITH MULTI-DIRECTIONAL ANGLE STRUCTURE}

The present invention relates to an incubator, and relates to an incubator having a three-dimensional egg angle with respect to a vertical direction.

The incubator is a device for artificially hatching fertilized eggs and is generally used to hatch fertilized eggs of birds. These incubators regulate the temperature and humidity so that the embryos can hatch, and manage the hatching by propagating the embryos.

Here, the term " egg yolk " means that heat is transferred to the entire fertilized egg, thereby inducing even generation not to be deviated as a whole. In other words, in the case of natural hatching, the mother bird often returns the positions and angles of the embryos to the beak, but in order to perform artificial hatching, the mechanism and the person should return the position and direction instead of the mother bird.

As disclosed in the registered utility model No. 0191864, the embryo according to the prior art is provided so that a plurality of egg shells are fixed to a rotary shaft at one central portion thereof so as to be horizontally rotatable, and a plurality of egg- And the plurality of fertilized eggs are confused.

However, in the conventional incubator, the egg yolk is deflected only in the horizontal direction or in the forward and backward directions, so that the hatching environment is insufficient compared to the egg whiting by the mother bird, and the embryo is transferred horizontally only in one direction The method of horizontal turbulence also requires a limited angular angle of the embryo. This method also has limitations in comparison with turbulence, which gives rise to all directions and diverse angles by the mother bird.

In addition, the conventional incubator uses a heat source bulb or a heater to generate heat and to accelerate the movement of the inside air by using a fan installed at the upper end of the inner frame to circulate air inside the incubator (Korean Utility Model Application Publication No. 1999-041446 (Humidifying device of artificial incubator) which uses a fan provided in a separate passage for forced circulation of air by circulating air through a separate channel, There is a disadvantage in that a variation in the internal temperature is large, and a forced circulation system in which a fan and a passage are installed is a fixed facility, and there are many restrictions and inconveniences in maintenance such as cleaning.

Also, in the humidity control apparatus, a device for supplying water from the outside, a device for adjusting the water level of the inflowed water, and a device for generating moisture by heating the inflowed water with a heater are provided in a conventional incubator 3198), the water level control device may frequently fail due to the foreign substances contained in the water, and the heating heater operates at a high temperature, so that the life span is relatively short, causing a frequent failure have.

In addition, in the conventional incubator, most of the egg shell components are fixed inside the incubator, so that there are inconvenience and limitations in cleaning various foreign matter and dust generated after incubation, and internal components such as egg shell apparatus are fixed There is a problem that it is difficult to separate the parts, so that it is limited to only hatching application, and it is difficult to utilize it for the use of chickpeas and the like.
