FIG. 5 is a view showing a twist preventing part of a door opening / closing device of an animal incubator according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG.

In general, the animal incubator 1 is for treating or ameliorating disease of an animal, and may include a nursery room 10, for example, an oxygen supply device, a temperature control device, a humidity control device And a separate heating means may be included in the nursery room 10. In addition,

The animal incubator 1 is hinged to one side of the nursery room 10 and includes a door 20 which is opened and closed by being pivotable about a hinge axis 1a. A door opening / closing apparatus 100 for controlling the opening and closing state of the door 20 is provided.

Here, the door opening / closing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment includes a latching portion 110 and a fastening portion 120 as shown in FIG.

First, the latching part 110 is formed on the front side of the nursery room 10, and the latching groove 112a having the latching protrusion 112 is coupled with the latching groove 110a having a predetermined size.

The engaging groove 112a is formed to protrude from the engaging portion 120 with a predetermined inclination toward the inside of the engaging portion 120. [

That is, it is preferable that the stopping protrusion 112 is formed such that the end portion has a predetermined inclination corresponding to the protruding shape of the inside of the fastening portion 120 inserted into the fastening portion 110, The fastening part 120 moves on the inclined surface of the fastening protrusion 112 in the process of inserting the fastening part 120 into the fastening part 110 so that the fastening part 120 can be easily positioned inside the fastening part 100. [

The fastening part 120 is provided on the door 20 at a position corresponding to the position of the fastening part 110 and is protruded and inserted into the fastening part 110 with a predetermined length, 110a, respectively.

To this end, the fastening portion 120 includes a body 122, an engagement ring 124, and an elastic member 126.

The main body 122 forms an outer appearance of the door opening / closing apparatus 100 and is formed to have a predetermined length on the rim of the door 20.

One end of the latching chain 124 is located inside the main body 122 and the other end of the latching chain 124 is connected to the outside of the main body 122 in a state where the latching chain 124 is fixed by the rotation shaft 124a. Like shape so as to be positioned so as to be protruded to the " A " shape.

The latching block 124 is provided with a receiving groove H at one end to receive the elastic member 126 and has an inclination corresponding to the shape of the latching jaw 112 at the other end so as to be engaged with the latching jaw 112 And a bent piece 124b which is bent and protruded.

The latching block 124 is configured to directly control the opening and closing of the door 20 and is rotated by the rotation shaft 124a to be engaged and disengaged by the latching jaws 112 to thereby pass through the latching groove 110a, The door 20 can be released from the door 110, thereby opening the door 20.

3, the latching block 124 is located inside the main body 122 and is moved to the initial position by the elastic member 126 which provides an elastic restoring force according to the rotation, So that the door 20 can be brought into the locked state by being positioned inside the locking part 110 together with the sound of "click" passing through the locking groove 110a.

The fastening part 120 may further include a pressing plate 128. The pressing plate 128 is disposed inside the main body 122 and protrudes to the outside of the door 20, As shown in Fig.

The push plate 128 is used to open the door 10. The push plate 128 is exposed to the outside, and when the user presses an operation area, specifically, an area positioned adjacent to the latch 124, So that the door 10 rotates by the shaft 128a and presses one end of the latch 124 so that the latch 124 is pivoted to be released from the latch 112. As a result, Can be opened.

2 and 3, the rotational center A of the rotational shaft 124a, which enables the rotational movement of the latching chain 124, is determined based on the bent position of the latching chain 124, It is preferable to move and position it so as to be more eccentric than the position B of the end portion of the engaging step 112 toward the one end of the chain 124.

4, the rotation center A of the rotation shaft 124a is located at the vertical side of the latch 124, that is, at the other end of the latch 124. In other words,

In such a structure, when the user grasps the door 20, or when the animal housed in the nursery room 10 continuously pushes the door 20, a force acting thereon is transmitted to the outside of the catching jaw 112 As a result, the bending piece 124b of the latching chain 124 is released from the latching protrusion 112 and the door 20 is opened.

This not only makes it difficult for the user who manages the animal incubator to manage it, but also causes the animal to slow down in terms of treatment or recovery.

2 and 3, the rotation center A of the rotation shaft 124a is positioned at one end of the latch 124, and at the same time, The above-mentioned problem can be solved by making the movable member 124 move eccentrically toward the one end side of the latching chain 124 more than the position B

The rotation center A of the rotary shaft 124a may be engaged with the engaging jaw 112 when the user grips the door 20 or pushes the door 20 by the accommodated animal. The force acting also acts on the rotation center A side of the rotation shaft 124a, that is, the inside of the engagement protrusion 112. Therefore, The force is applied to the inside of the latching jaw 112 as the door is pushed or pulled, so that the door 20 is not opened further.

In addition, since the length of the bending piece 124b may be reduced in the above-described structure, it is easy to manufacture the latching chain 124 as compared with the conventional structure.

This is because the rotational center A of the rotary shaft 124a is located at the other end of the latch 124 in the case of the conventional door opening and closing apparatus 100, It is preferable that the bending piece 124b is relatively long in order to prevent the door 20 from being opened by the accommodated animal. However, in this case, when the door 20 is opened, A force is required to increase the production cost, and this causes the user to inconvenience.

The rotation center A of the rotation shaft 124a is located further inside than the position B of the end portion of the engaging jaw 112 so that a small force is applied to one end of the engaging chain 124 The door 20 can be opened more easily than the structure of the conventional door opening / closing apparatus 100 as shown in FIG. 4, It is possible to reduce the length of the bending piece 124b and to easily manufacture the latching block 124. [

As a result, the door opening / closing device of the animal incubator according to the present embodiment prevents the door 20 from being opened by the movement of the animal housed in the incubation room 10, 10, and the opening of the door 20 by the user can be made easy so that the effective recovery of the accommodated animal can be achieved.

As shown in FIG. 5, the door opening / closing device of the animal incubator according to the present embodiment is installed on both sides of the nursery room 10 so as to be spaced apart from the latching part 110, (Not shown).

That is, when the animal incubator 1 is used for a long period of time, the anti-twist portion 130 is continuously impacted to the bottom of the incubation room 10 by the weight of the animal, It can become out of balance.

For this purpose, in the present embodiment, since the anti-twist portion 130 formed of a rigid material such as steel is provided along the vertical direction on both sides of the nursery room 10, even when the nursery room 10 is used for a long period of time, So that the problem that the bottom of the animal incubator 1 is not balanced and the door 20 is not closed can be prevented in advance.

In the present invention, the position of the rotary shaft of the latch provided on the door for locking is positioned inside the end of the latching jaw provided in the nursery room so that the latching is engaged so that the door can be easily opened from the outside of the incubator On the other hand, the inside of the incubator has an effect of preventing opening due to the movement of the animal.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to prevent the door from being opened due to the movement of the animal housed in the nursery room, thereby solving the problem that the animal escapes from the nursery room, and as a result, .

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is evident that many modifications may be made thereto, It will be understood that all or some of the elements (s) may be optionally constructed in combination. Accordingly, the true scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical idea of the appended claims.
