A research device for chinchilla hibernation

Abstract

The invention provides a ground squirrel hibernation research device. The device comprises damping feet, a temperature-adjustable test box, a box door, a glass observation window, an industrial control plate, a monitoring mechanism, a focusing mechanism, an oxygen measuring device, hinges, a handle, fixing hoops and an adjusting block. According to the device, the arrangement of the monitoring mechanism is beneficial to knowing the fat consumption of ground squirrels in the hibernation period, and whether or not the ground squirrels have awakening behaviors in the hibernation period can be determined; the arrangement of the focusing mechanism can better achieve the test effect during a thermal imaging test of the ground squirrels; an adjusting motor drives a nut base provided with an infrared thermal imager to move up and down through a screw rod to adjust the focal length of the infrared thermal imager. The oxygen consumption of the ground squirrels during hibernation can be obtainedthrough the arrangement of the oxygen measuring device, and the metabolism characteristic of the ground squirrels can be obtained according to the ratio of the oxygen content obtained for the first time to the oxygen content obtained for the second time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hibernation research devices, in particular to a chinchilla hibernation research device. Background technique [0002] The hibernation behavior of chinchillas is a mysterious physiological adaptation behavior. The research on hibernation of chinchillas has very important reference significance in aerospace medicine and the treatment and prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Hibernation of chinchillas is a way to deal with adverse Environmental protective actions, the main factors that cause ground squirrels to hibernate, one is the reduction of ambient temperature, and the other is the lack of food. Scientists have proved through experiments that the hibernation of chinchillas will cause the reduction of the function of thyroid and adrenal glands. At the same time, the gonads developed normally. Animals after hibernation have increased antibacterial and disease resistance than usual...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a device for researching chinchilla hibernation, to solve the problem in the prior art when researching chinchilla hibernation, put some sawdust on the back of the chinchilla in the hibernating state, if the sawdust is found to fall from the back Falling or moving obviously indicates that the ground squirrel has been awakened in bursts, but this method is affected by various factors and the results are very inaccurate, and it is not possible to make in-depth research on the vital signs of the ground squirrel during the active period and hibernation period , and it is necessary to manually monitor the hibernation of the chinchilla, which wastes a lot of working time, and it is impossible to analyze the data of the chinchilla active period and hibernation period
