Description

Incubator {Incubator}

The present invention relates to an incubation device, which prevents conduction of external and internal temperatures, suppresses condensation formation, and allows the internal circulating fluid to be evenly distributed.

In general, an incubator is a device for artificially hatching eggs of birds such as chickens and ducks, and is also called an incubator. This type of incubator is usually used for eggs, and in poultry farming, instead of placing fertilized eggs in a hen and hatching them (natural hatching), numerous eggs (fertile eggs) are placed in an incubator and hatched artificially to increase efficiency.

Meanwhile, incubators are structurally divided into flat incubators and three-dimensional incubators, and both are capable of controlling the internal temperature using electric heat as a heat source.

The former are generally small, inefficient, and easily affected by outside temperature, so they are not used much these days. The latter is equipped with a shelf-shaped egg seat (feet for laying eggs), a temperature controller, a water bowl, a fan, an air agitator, and an egg seat for hatching, etc. inside the incubator.

Meanwhile, it is recommended that the temperature inside the incubator be maintained at about 38°C and the humidity between 60% and 80%.

In general, fertilized eggs are sometimes kept warm at 21°C for several hours before being placed in an incubator. Rotate the eggs 4 to 6 times a day to ensure that each part of the egg is warmed evenly. During this time, the eggs are hatched 3 times. On the 18th day, they are transferred to the hatching egg and wait for hatching on the 21st day. In reality, there are many cases where several or more incubators are gathered and managed in one place. The indoor temperature of the incubation room or incubator is adjusted to 18℃ ~ 25℃, and the layout and lighting are designed to be convenient for various tasks.

Also, it is desirable to sufficiently disinfect the incubator before and after inserting eggs. Such an incubator has been disclosed through various embodiments, of which, in the "Incubator (Korean Registered Utility Model Publication No. 20-0465220)" in Patent Document 1 below, the cover is made of a thin stainless steel material, and the surface is penetrated up and down. It forms a plurality of discharge holes and is configured to discharge hot air through the discharge holes. The heating coil installed on the bottom of the cover secures the guide to the cover, installs a diaphragm on the guide, and installs a heating coil at the end of the guide to close the cover. The feature is that the heat and water vapor circulated through the fan, without receiving direct heat, are discharged through the discharge hole drilled in the diaphragm. The incubator heats the water collected in the water tank due to the heat from the heating coil, generates water vapor, and transfers the heat to the tray. It had the advantage of being able to provide an incubator that could maintain the optimal temperature and humidity for hatching eggs.
