Small pig treadmill

Abstract

The invention discloses a small pig treadmill which comprises an annular runway and a motion excitation device arranged on the adjacent side of the annular runway. An outer side partition and an innerside partition are fixed to the outer side edge and the inner side edge in the circumferential direction of the annular runway correspondingly. The motion excitation device comprises a driving motor,a speed reducer and a roller which are arranged in a driving box and are sequentially connected, a voltage controller and a speed controller which are arranged at the top of the driving box, and a baffle is vertically arranged on the annular runway; the roller is arranged in the annular track, and the speed controller is connected with the speed reducer; the voltage controller is connected with an electric pulse arranged on the baffle; the motion excitation device of the mini-type pig treadmill can excite the mini-type pig to continuously and actively run, the excitation degree is adjustable,and the motion effect is better than that of passive running of the mini-type pig for maintaining balance on the belt-type treadmill; meanwhile, all parts of the treadmill are detachable, installation is convenient, space is saved, and the treadmill is suitable for college laboratories or scientific research institutions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical equipment for animals, in particular to a miniature pig treadmill. Background technique [0002] The new miniature pig treadmill is mainly used for the experimental research of miniature pigs' exercise physiology, nutrition, rehabilitation medicine and biomechanical engineering. It is a professional equipment for assisting miniature pigs in sports training and postoperative rehabilitation. Existing treadmills mainly rely on the movement of their conveyor belts, so that the miniature pigs can run passively in order to maintain their own balance, and the purpose of training has been achieved. However, this type of treadmill has obvious disadvantages. The conveyor belt runs at a constant speed, while the miniature pigs run on the treadmill at a constant speed. If they run for half an hour or longer, the coordination of the knee joints and muscles cannot keep up, which will damage their knee joints...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, this type of treadmill has obvious disadvantages. The conveyor belt runs at a constant speed, while the miniature pigs run on the treadmill at a constant speed. If they run for half an hour or longer, the coordination of the knee joints and muscles cannot keep up, which will damage their knee joints. Concussion damage to the meniscus and cartilage of the joint

Especially for minipigs who have undergone knee or hip surgery experiments, it is not only not conducive to their recovery, but even has a negative impact on the results of experimental research

However, the belt treadmill itself will help the miniature pigs. If the running time is too short to meet the exercise requirements, it may delay the training and postoperative recovery of the miniature pigs.
