Heating control device for an incubator for infants, incubator and method for heating control of an incubator

摘要

Heating control device (44) for an incubator (10) for infants (12) with a temperature detection device (46) for detectionat least a first temperature reading (T1) of a temperature inside an incubator chamber (14); andat least a second temperature reading (T2) of a temperature of a heating device (24) for heating air in an incubator chamber of the incubator (10);wherein the heating control device (44) has a first operating mode and a second operating mode, wherein:a cascade control is provided in the first operating mode, whereby:a setpoint (R1) is specified for the temperature inside the incubator chamber (14);in a first control step, a setpoint (R2) for the temperature of the heating device (24) as a function of the setpoint (R1) for the temperature inside the incubator chamber (14) and at least one first temperature reading (T1) is calculated; andin a second control step, a control variable (R) for the heating device (24) as a function of the setpoint (R2) for the temperature of the heating device (24) and at least a second temperature reading (T2) is calculated; andin the second operating modein a first control step, a setpoint (R2) for the temperature of the heating device (24) independent of which at least one first temperature reading (T1) is calculated; andin a second control step, a control variable (R) for the heating device (24) as a function of the setpoint (R2) for the temperature of the heating device (24) and at least a second temperature measurement value (T2) is calculated.
