Description

Incubator

The present invention relates to an incubator. In particular, a small number of eggs, such as chickens and ducks, are placed in a small incubation chamber, and the inside of the incubation chamber is intermittently transferred while maintaining an appropriate internal temperature through a heater and a blower. By providing optimal conditions for hatching, the healthy chicks are hatched and allowed to grow for a certain period of time so that children or students can observe the process from egg to chick birth. Of course, it is about incubators that can increase children's emotional development and EQ intelligence index.

In general, birds such as chickens and ducks incubate fertilized eggs for a certain period of time to break eggs and hatch, resulting in chicks or ducklings (hereinafter referred to as chicks).

These courses are difficult to experience for people who have not raised chickens or ducks in the countryside, especially those who live in cities.

Small chick incubators are designed to allow anyone to experience this chick hatching process.

1 is an exploded perspective view showing the structure of the incubator according to the prior art, Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the incubator according to the prior art.

This conventional incubator has a base 12 screwed to one side as shown, the base plate (BASE PLATE) 10 is filled with water at the bottom and the guide rail 11 is formed on the outer periphery, and the base The transparent lid 13 which is covered to have an incubation chamber of a suitable space on the upper part of the plate 10 and is slid and rotated by the guide rail 11 and a position spaced apart from the bottom on the upper part of the base plate 10 by a predetermined distance. A screen 14 for seating the fertilized egg, a turning ring 16 having a radially formed frame 15 and a circular tube around the fertilized egg; A rotating device 17 installed at the side of the base plate 10 to rotate the turning ring 16 or the lid 13 intermittently, and a blower 18 for circulating air in the upper portion of the lid 13. And a heater 19 which keeps the internal temperature constant.

When the fertilized egg is seated on the screen 14 and the lid is closed and the incubator is operated, the heater 19 operates to raise the internal temperature to the set temperature, and the blower 18 circulates air to incubate the inside of the incubation chamber. Ensure that each part has an even temperature distribution and supply fresh air outside. The heater 19 is automatically stopped when the temperature exceeds the set temperature, and automatically operates when the temperature falls below the set temperature to increase the temperature of the hatching chamber. And the bottom part of the base plate 10 is filled with water so that the humidity in the hatching chamber can be properly maintained.

In addition, the external rotation device 17 is configured to reciprocally rotate the turning ring 16 and the lid 13 for a predetermined period by the forward and reverse rotation of the motor, and by this operation, the frame of the turning ring 16 (15) This fertilized egg is rolled to provide an environment as close to natural hatching as possible.

However, this conventional incubator is designed to rotate the turning ring and the entire lid by pushing or pulling one side of the lid when the egg is transferred, resulting in high frictional resistance due to the weight of the lid and the large friction area with the base plate. It does not achieve efficient operation has the disadvantage of causing high power loss, loud noise and vibration. In particular, noise and vibration adversely affect the hatching of chicks, which has the disadvantage of lowering hatching rate.

In addition, since the operating point of the force that rotates the lid is ubiquitous on one side of the lid, the transfer of force is unstable, so that the lid cannot be rotated smoothly, which also causes power loss.

In addition, it is difficult to manufacture a guide that allows the lid to rotate from the base plate has a disadvantage in that the cost of the product increases accordingly.

Therefore, the present invention is to solve such a conventional end, the purpose is to improve the eggplant device to operate in a simpler structure to achieve an efficient eggplant operation, thereby reducing power consumption and the cost of the product manual or To provide an automatic incubator.

(First embodiment)

3 is an exploded perspective view of the automatic incubator according to the first embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the incubator according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown, a first embodiment of the present invention relates to a manual incubator. The manual incubator has a base plate 20 and a transparent lid 24 which is covered to have an incubation chamber of a suitable height on an upper portion of the base plate 20, and is installed at an upper portion apart from the bottom of the base plate 20. And a screen 22 for seating the fertilized egg, an eggplant 23 for periodically rolling the fertilized egg seated on the screen 22, and a blower 25 installed in the upper portion of the lid 24 to circulate air. And a heater 26 for maintaining the temperature in the hatching chamber at an appropriate temperature on one side of the blower 25, and a plurality of supports 241 are provided from the upper part of the lid 24 to the lower part of the blower 25. It consists of a protective plate 33 having an air distribution port 331 fixed to the lower end.

The base plate 20 is formed in a concave shape so that the water is contained so as to maintain proper humidity inside, and the partition wall 202 is spirally formed from the outside to the center on the bottom 201. And the bottom 201 is to gradually increase from the outer periphery toward the center to supply water so that it is possible to check the supply of water in accordance with the water level so that the humidity can be visually controlled. At this time, when the bottom of the spirally formed partition wall 202 is raised from the outside to the center may be raised stepwise.

In addition, a step 203 is formed on the side surface of the base plate 20 so that the outer end of the screen 22 is caught to be seated while maintaining a constant height with the bottom 201.

In addition, the transmission frame 23 has a rectangular structure is provided with a plurality of horizontal bars 231 at regular intervals therein. At this time, one side of the transmission frame 23 may be provided with the operation bar 232, the end of the operation bar 232 is installed in this way is exposed to the outside through the side of the base plate 20. Therefore, by opening the lid 24 and moving the eggplant 23 forward and backward to the egg, or by pushing and pulling the operation bar 232 exposed to the outside may move the eggplant 23 manually to allow the fertilized egg to be transferred. .

Lid 24 is made of a transparent material to observe the process of the change of the fertilized egg and the hatching scene and the growth process of the chick from the outside to the inside. Brackets 243 are formed at both rear lower rear portions of the rear lower portion, and are hinged to the base plate 20 to open and close rearwards. And on the front is a locking device 242 is installed.

The upper part of the lid 24 is penetrated, and a blower 25 is fixedly installed at the penetrated portion. The blower 25 is configured to evenly circulate the air therein and has a blower blade 251 that is rotated by a motor not shown in the figure.

On the side of the blower 25, a heater 26 is disposed and screwed to a boss projecting on the upper surface of the protection plate 33, and a temperature sensor 29 for checking the temperature of the hatching chamber in the lid 24 at a position separated from the heater 26. ) Is installed. In addition, a plurality of bosses are formed downward on the inner surface of the lid 24 around the blower 25, and a protective plate 33 is coupled to an end thereof. The protection plate 33 is provided with an air flow port 331 so that the air sent by the blower 25 moves downward.

In addition, the upper part of the lid 24 is provided with a temperature controller 28 for setting the temperature of the heater 26, while one side of the lid is electrically connected to the temperature controller 28 and the heater 26 and the blower 25 A printed circuit board 30 having a control circuit for controlling the heater 26 is configured. In this case, the control circuit compares the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor of the hatching chamber with the set temperature, and when the internal temperature of the hatching chamber is high, the heater 26 is stopped by turning off the temperature switch (not shown in the figure). When the internal temperature is lowered and the internal temperature is lower than the set temperature, the temperature switch is turned on to operate the heater 26 to increase the temperature of the incubation chamber so that the temperature of the incubation chamber is always maintained at the optimum state.

On one side, a thermometer 31 and a hygrometer 32 are installed to visually check the internal temperature and humidity of the hatching chamber.

Looking at the operation of the incubator of the present invention having the structure as described above are as follows.

Open the lid 24 of the incubator and pour water into the bottom of the base plate 20 to fill. The lid 24 is hinged to both rear sides of the base plate 20 so that the lid 24 is pivoted to the rear side and opened. The water supplied is moved to the spiral partition 202 as the water level increases, and the water is supplied until the proper humidity is achieved in anticipation of the humidity according to the moving position.

After supplying water, the lid 24 is closed and the power is connected to operate the incubator preliminarily. The operating time is approximately 6-12 hours and the thermostat 28 is operated to bring the internal temperature to 100 ° F (37.77 ° C). If this happens, put the fertilized egg in the hatching room.

The fertilized eggs in the hatching chamber are placed on the egg frame 23 and the screen 22 partitioned by the side bars 231. In this case, after closing the lid 24 and connecting the power, set the temperature according to the type of algae as shown in Table 1 and then close the lid 24. At this time, after putting the fertilized egg in the incubator it is good not to open the lid 24 for 24 to 30 hours.

Table 1. (Incubation temperature and number of hatching days by type)

chicken duck goose pheasant Quail Turkey Hatching days 21 28 28-34 23-28 17 28 Temperature (℉) 99.5 99.5 99.1 99.5 99.5 99.2 Humidity(%) 85-87 84-86 86-88 86-88 84-86 83-85 Whole War 19 25 21 21 15 25

The heater 26 is intermittent according to the temperature set in the temperature controller 28 to maintain a constant internal temperature of the incubation chamber.

The blower 25 circulates the internal air to evenly disperse the water warmed from the heater and the water evaporated from the water filled in the base plate 20 to each part so that the hatching chamber makes each part uniform in temperature and humidity. . This operation provides an environment in which each fertilized egg is under the same hatching conditions. In addition, the operation of the blower 25 allows the internal air to escape through the opening formed in the upper portion of the lid 24 and the gap between the base plate 20 and the lid 24, and at the same time, the fresh air from the outside is introduced into the interior. Therefore, it helps to develop a fertilized egg.

In addition, when a certain time elapses, the fertilized egg is opened by opening the lid 24 and holding the eggplant 23 and pulling or pushing the egg, or moving the eggplant 23 by pulling and pushing the operation bar 232 exposed to the outside. Dissipate. That's because people have to turn or roll their eggs to relieve tension or to reduce nerve tension, which is the same as flipping over when they sleep. Eggs should be carried out approximately every 2 hours and 7 minutes. In this case, as shown in Table 1, the eggs should be stopped 2 to 3 days before hatching, and since the humidity control is more important from this time, the humidity as shown in Table 1 is maintained.

This will wake up the chicks. The waking chicks are reduced by 5 ° F through the temperature controller 28 every 5 days, and after 2 to 3 weeks, the temperature of the chicks can be checked by adjusting the temperature and feeding can continue to feed like pets.

When the chicks are raised in this way, the chicks may grow and the head may be injured by the blower 25. However, since the protection plate is installed at the lower part of the blower 25 or the heater 26, it is safe.

Second Embodiment

Figure 6 is a perspective view of the automatic transfer drive device is provided on one side of the incubator of the present invention.

The second embodiment is to install the automatic transmission drive device to automatically roll the eggs. This is because there is a possibility that the egg is not delivered within the correct time when the egg is manually operated, and because the work is very cumbersome, the egg is automatically made within a certain time as shown.

Automatic transfer is made by the automatic transfer drive device (34). The automatic transmission drive device 34 is installed inside the case coupled to one side of the base plate 20, and the speed reduction motor 341 for forward and reverse rotation only a predetermined number of times at a time set by the control circuit, and one end of the reduction motor ( It is connected to the rotary shaft 342 of 341, the other end is connected to the operation bar 232 is composed of a rotation bar (343) for pushing and pulling the operating bar 232 by the operation of the reduction motor 341.

When the control circuit supplies power to the IC 346 by the constant voltage circuit 345 as shown in FIG. 8, the IC operates the deceleration motor 341 through the triac 347 operating in a row at regular intervals. It is. Reference numeral 348 is an oscillator.

By this circuit, the deceleration motor 341 rotates forward and backward within a predetermined period, and the rotation bar 343 provided on the rotation shaft 342 of the reduction motor 341 intermittently performs forward and reverse rotation. By this operation, the operation bar 232 connected to the rotation bar 343 reciprocates and periodically moves the egg frame 23, so that the fertilized egg is transferred within a certain period.

(Third Embodiment)

9 is a perspective view showing the structure of an automatic incubator according to a third embodiment of the present invention, Figure 10 is a cross-sectional view of FIG.

As shown in the third embodiment of the present invention, the automatic incubator may be manufactured in a small size.

The structure of such a small incubator is a base plate 40 which forms a bottom portion and is filled with water, and a screen 42 for seating the fertilized egg on the top while being pivotally coupled to both sides of the base plate 40 and the base plate ( A lid 44 covering the upper portion of the hatch chamber, a lamp 46 mounted on the inner surface of the lid 44 to receive light from the outside, and controlling the internal temperature of the hatch chamber, and a lid. A deceleration motor 541 is installed in the upper portion of the 44 and intermittently rotates only a predetermined number of revolutions in accordance with a set time therein, and a rotation shaft 543 of the deceleration motor 541 and one end of the screen 42. It is connected to the operating bar 55 to rotate the screen 42 is composed of a driving device for transferring the fertilized egg.

Since the incubator is small as in this structure, the blower 25 (refer to FIG. 3) for circulating the air is not necessary because the internal space is narrow. This is because the natural circulation of air can supply enough fresh air. In addition, when the temperature of the incubation chamber is maintained, the heater 26 as shown in FIG. 3 is too large and constituted of a lamp 46. Accordingly, the protection plate 33 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) installed to prevent the chicks from being injured by the blower 25 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) or the heater 26 (see FIGS. 3 and 4). There is no need. In addition, by installing the automatic transfer drive device 34 in the upper portion of the lid 44, the blower 25 is located by rotating the screen 42 in the upper portion to effect the egg can be significantly reduced the volume of the automatic incubator. In addition, the electric movement is also the rotation bar 543 by the operation of the reduction motor 541, the operation bar 55 by pressing and pulling the operation bar 55 by the operation bar 55 directly rotates the screen 42 by the resistance or noise and It can be driven smoothly without vibration.

As described above, the incubator of the present invention is a horizontally moving egg frame, so that the fertilized egg is transferred to achieve an efficient egg transfer operation, thereby reducing power consumption and cost of the product.

In addition, the structure of the incubator removes the blower, the heater, and the protection plate, and acts as an intermittent vertical reciprocating movement bar, which allows the screen to flow and become smaller, thereby lowering the price of the product and reducing power consumption. It is effective to lower.
