INCUBATOR HAVING IMPROVED USER INTERFACE

摘要

The present invention relates to an incubator having an improved user interface, which allows an easy setting of various parameters, such as temperature, and can achieve convenient management of schedules, such as disinfection dates. The incubator according to the present invention comprises: an incubation chamber having a pair of hand insertion windows formed thereat and accommodating an incubated baby therein; a touch LCD for displaying a user interface screen according to a control signal and receiving a user touch input thereto; a load cell for sensing the weight of the incubated baby accommodated in the incubation chamber; a weight measurement unit for calculating the weight from a value sensed by the load cell; and a controller for providing a user interface of a main screen to the touch LCD, for providing a user interface of a weight screen on a touched screen when a weight is selected on the main screen, and for controlling the touch LCD to display a current weight value, which is input from the weight measurement unit, on the weight screen when measurement is selected on the weight screen, and also to display a difference between the current value and a previous measurement value on the weight screen or display a weight change as a graph on the weight screen, after storing the current value when storage is selected on the weight screen. The incubator according to the present invention provides the convenient user interface through the touch LCD. Accordingly, values of various parameters, such as temperature and humidity, can be easily set, the security of the incubated baby can be guaranteed by generating an alarm when deviating from set upper/lower limit values, and the schedule of tasks requiring schedule management such as a disinfection date can be conveniently managed.
