How the incubator works
An incubator is a kind of equipment used to incubate birds or reptiles, and its working principle mainly includes two aspects: temperature control and humidity control.
Temperature control is key to the operation of the incubator, which is usually provided by means of a heating element such as a heating wire or heating plate. These heating elements are usually regulated by ambient temperature information monitored by a temperature sensor. When the temperature drops below the set point, the heating element is activated and provides heat to increase the temperature inside the incubator. When the temperature reaches the set point, the heating element stops heating to maintain a constant temperature.
Humidity control is another important aspect that needs to be maintained at the proper humidity level to ensure successful egg hatching. Usually, there is a tank or container inside the incubator that provides humidity by evaporating the water. The humidity sensor monitors the humidity inside the incubator and automatically replenishes the tank or container when the humidity drops below the set point. By increasing or decreasing the amount of water vapor evaporation, the humidity inside the incubator is adjusted.
In addition, incubators are usually equipped with an egg transfer device that is used to turn the eggs regularly to prevent the embryo from attaching too much inside the egg shell
lateral, thus maintaining the uniform development of the embryo.
In summary, the incubator provides an artificial incubation environment that mimics the natural incubation environment through temperature control, humidity control and egg transferr, so as to promote the development and successful incubation of the embryo in the egg.
