Incubator Tray and a Method of Incubating
An incubator tray includes a body that defines: (i) a first surface and a second surface that defines a sealed void therebetween; (ii) an inlet that, in use, permits inflow of fluid into the void defined between the first and second surfaces of the body; (iii) an outlet that, in use, permits outflow of fluid from the void defined between the first and second surfaces of the body; (iv) a plurality of bores that extend between the first and second surfaces, through the void defined between the first and second surfaces, wherein: each bore is open at both axial ends, and a first axial end of the bore proximal the first surface is larger in cross-sectional area than the cross-sectional area of a second axial end of the bore proximal the second surface; and (v) a temperature sensor associated with each bore. In use, an object to be incubated that is: undersized relative to the cross-sectional area of the first axial end of a bore; and oversized relative to the cross-sectional area of the second axial end of the bore, may be supported on the body, within a bore, with the open axial ends of the bore permitting ventilation through the bore, past the object.
INCUBATING DEVICE
The present invention relates to an incubating device. The incubating device according to an aspect of the present invention is characterized by comprising: a housing which has a certain space therein and of which one surface may be open or closed; one or more plate parts which are provided inside the housing and on which objects are placed; a support part which supports one end of each of the plate parts and is provided with an egg turning gear for transmitting rotational force to the plate parts; a device driving part provided with an egg turning drive portion that is mounted in engagement with the egg turning gear to rotate the plate parts; and a controller that manipulates and controls the device driving part and protrudes from the outer surface of the housing, wherein a mounting hole, through which the device driving part and the integrated controller can be vertically mounted or detached together, is formed passing through the one surface of the housing, and the device driving part and the controller can be easily repaired through the mounting hole during maintenance.
