METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AIR TEMPERATURE IN AN INCUBATOR FOR BIRD EGGS Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A01K41/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: intended to improve the results of incubation of bird eggs. The method involves the use of several temperature sensors used to obtain temperature data in different areas of the incubator. Thermal sensors are connected to a graphical interface, which displays temperature values, with wires that allow the thermal sensor to be placed in any zone of the incubator. They control the change in temperature difference from several sensors located at different levels of the incubator. Preliminary setting of temperature sensors is carried out in an empty incubator body without carts and trays. The sensors are calibrated by placing them at one point in the incubator. During the operation of the incubator, if there is a discrepancy in the temperature readings on various temperature sensors, changes are made to the operation of the systems to ensure uniformity of air temperature in the incubator chamber until satisfactory results are achieved. After the incubator starts operating with trays filled with eggs, a change in the temperature difference between the temperature sensors is a signal of a malfunction of the incubator, due to a decrease in air speed in the internal volume of the incubator, which allows faults to be eliminated in a timely manner.

EFFECT: obtaining high results from artificial incubation of bird eggs.
