Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a new and simple electric incubator for artificially hatching fertile eggs such as chicken eggs.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 forms an upward step 2 on the outer peripheral surface,
It is a truncated conical mounting base with a closed top, and a wall 4 is formed at the periphery of the upper end surface so as to surround it, and an appropriate part of this wall 4 is cut out to form a water droplet flow groove that extends around the periphery of the mount 1. 5 is formed. Reference numeral 6 indicates an air intake port which is opened at the top peripheral edge of this mounting base 1 and is located between the flow grooves 5. Reference numeral 7 is an intake port which is opened at the top peripheral edge of this mounting base 1 and is located between the flow grooves 5. This is an air outlet opening in the shape of a vertically elongated slit at the periphery, and as shown in FIG. 3, this air outlet 7 is provided on the remaining circumferential surface of the mounting base except for a portion thereof. 8 is an annular lower case with a substantially U-shaped cross section;
The hooks 10 provided at three upper ends of the inner wall 9 are engaged with the through holes 11 provided in the stepped portion 2, thereby fixing it in the placed state. Therefore, this lower case 8 has an inner diameter such that a predetermined gap is formed therebetween when placed on the mounting base 4, and is configured such that the upper end of the inner wall 9 is located at a lower position than the stepped portion 2. be done. 12 is lower case 8
a plurality of vertical ribs formed on the inner surface of the outer wall 9';
Reference numeral 13 denotes a water injection part formed by expanding the upper end of the outer wall 9' to the outside. Reference numeral 14 denotes a water injection part which is supported on the outer periphery of the lower case 8 and is provided to cover the upper part of the intake port 6 on the upper part of the mounting base 1, for example, a transparent water injection part. The upper case 14 and the lower case 8 are formed into a spherical shape as a whole. 15
16 is a lid rotatably attached to the upper case 14 with a push nut 17 in order to adjust the opening degree of the exhaust hole, and has a plurality of through holes 18. . 1
9 is fitted into the mounting base 1 from above, and the lower case 8 is supported by the upper end of the rib 12 at its peripheral edge.
It is a ring-shaped egg holder supported on the inside of the lower case, which has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the lower case and has a large number of through holes, and further has a plurality of recesses 20 on the upper surface to hold the eggs in a stable state. has been established. 21,2
Reference numeral 1 denotes a cushion material attached to the inner and outer peripheral edges of this egg tray, and 22 denotes a mounting board fixed to the lower surface of the step part 2 in the hollow interior of the mounting base 1, on which a motor 23 and a temperature control circuit board 24 are mounted. . 25 is a fan fixed to the motor 23 corresponding to the exhaust port 7;
Reference numeral 26 denotes an electric heater placed inside and above the mounting base 1, and is fixed to the substrate 22 by a support 27. 2
Reference numeral 8 denotes a temperature sensor consisting of a thermistor fixed to the support column 27, facing the intake port 6. Thus, the support column 27 is extended and fixed to the substrate 22 in a portion where the exhaust port 7 is not formed. An evaporation regulating plate 29 is inserted and supported inside the lower case 8 with the rib 12 guided, and has a steam port 30 for proper evaporation. 31 is mounting base 1
The base plate is screwed together with the supporting legs 32 to the mounting base.

In the above configuration, the lower case 8 is fitted and placed on the step part 2 of the mounting base 1 in advance, and the rib 1
An egg tray 19 is supported on top of the egg tray 2, and after the eggs are placed in the recess 20 of the egg tray 19, the upper case 14 is covered. Thereafter, when the heater 26 is energized and the fan 25 is rotated, the air sucked into the interior through the intake port 6 of the mounting base 1 is heated by the heater 26 and is blown out from the discharge port 7 as warm air. Therefore, an air flow is formed inside the upper and lower cases as shown in FIG. The temperature is maintained at a constant temperature of approximately 37°C to warm the eggs. In such an atmosphere, chickens live on 21 days, canaries on 14 days, and quails on 17 days.
They can be hatched in the same number of days as they would naturally hatch. Therefore, if the upper case 14 is made of a transparent material in advance, the hatching process can be observed from the outside, which can be useful for children's natural science studies, for example.
Appropriate humidity is essential for hatching, but if you want to replenish water to the lower case 8 during the process, you can do so through the water inlet 13. Even if you add too much water, you can replenish water from the top of the inner wall 9. Since the water overflows and flows out through the gap between the mount 1 and the mount 1, there is no risk of water splashing on electrical components inside the mount, thereby ensuring safety. On the other hand, the humidity inside the case is measured by adjusting the opening of the exhaust hole 15 provided on the ceiling of the upper case 14.
It is possible to change it by rotating 6 and adjust it arbitrarily.

As explained above, this idea is that the mounting base is formed into a truncated conical shape with the top closed, the intake port is opened at the top periphery of the mounting base, and the intake port is located at the lower periphery of the mounting base at the inner upper edge of the lower case. The simple structure of the opening facing the case prevents water droplets from falling inside the mount, protecting the electrical components inside, and allowing air to circulate evenly within the case. This has the effect of making the temperature distribution inside the case uniform.

Further, there is an effect that the case can be easily attached and detached, and the mounting base can be stably installed.
