Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] Embodiment 1:

[0031] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a medicinal bath device, comprising a shell 1, a cover 2 arranged above the shell 1, a partition 3 arranged at the lower part of the shell 1, and a vertical plate 4 vertically plugged into the shell 1;

[0032] The side wall of the housing 1 is provided with a liquid medicine circulation mechanism, the side wall of the housing 1 away from the liquid medicine circulation mechanism is provided with a first sealing component, the inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with a sensor component, the sensor component is provided on a side of the vertical plate 4 close to the liquid medicine circulation mechanism, and the inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with an electric heater;

[0033] A first inclined plate 5 is disposed below the partition 3. A first porous structure 301 is provided at a portion of the partition 3 located between the vertical plate 4 and the shell 1. The first porous structure 301 is disposed on a side of the vertical plate 4 away from the liquid medicine circulation mechanism.

[0034] A second porous structure 401 is provided at the upper portion of the vertical plate 4 , and a second sealing assembly is provided at the lower portion of the vertical plate 4 .

[0035] When conducting the experiment, the vertical board 4 is removed, and the mouse is put into the second sealing component on the vertical board 4. The vertical board 4 and the mouse are placed in the shell 1 together, so that the mouse's head passes through the first sealing component on the shell 1, and the mouse's forelimbs pass through the second sealing component on the vertical board 4. The cover body 2 is covered, and the medicine for bathing is injected through the medicine circulation mechanism, so that the mouse's abdomen and below are immersed in the medicine. The hot air from the medicine enters the cavity on the side of the vertical board 4 away from the medicine circulation mechanism through the second porous structure 401 above the vertical board 4. The mouse will move during the bathing process, and the second sealing component on the vertical board 4 will leak medicine. When the medicine leaks, the medicine passes through the first porous structure 301 and falls onto the first inclined plate 5, slides down through the first inclined plate 5 to the bottom of the shell 1, and then the leaked medicine is transported back to the inside of the shell 1 through the medicine circulation mechanism. A sensor assembly is arranged in the shell 1 to detect the temperature and height of the medicine liquid. When the height of the medicine liquid is low, the medicine liquid in the shell 1 is replenished through the medicine liquid circulation mechanism. When the temperature of the medicine liquid is low, the medicine liquid in the shell 1 is heated through the electric heater.

[0036] A further optimized solution is provided, in which the medicine liquid circulation mechanism comprises a first pipe 6 and a second pipe 7 which are connected to the lower side wall of the shell 1, and the first pipe 6 and the second pipe 7 are connected to a third pipe 8; the first pipe 6 is arranged above the partition 3, the second pipe 7 is arranged below the partition 3, and the second pipe 7 is connected to the bottom of the cavity formed by the partition 3, the first inclined plate 5 and the shell 1; a check valve 601 is installed on the first pipe 6, a first water pump 701 is installed on the second pipe 7, and a second water pump 801 is installed on the third pipe 8. The third pipeline 8 is connected to a medicine liquid tank, and the check valve 601, the first water pump 701, the second water pump 801, and the electric heater are electrically connected to a PLC controller. The medicine liquid on the first inclined plate 5 is extracted by the first water pump 701 on the second pipeline 7, and transported to the shell 1 through the first pipeline 6. When the sensor component detects that the medicine liquid level is too low, the signal is transmitted to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the second water pump 801 to extract medicine liquid from the medicine liquid tank to replenish the medicine liquid in the shell 1. When the sensor component detects that the temperature of the medicine liquid is too low, the signal is transmitted to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the electric heater to heat the medicine liquid in the shell 1.

[0037] According to a further optimized solution, the first sealing component includes a first mounting hole 103 formed on the side wall of the housing 1 , a first elastic cloth 104 is fixedly connected to the first mounting hole 103 , and a first through hole 1041 is formed at the center of the first elastic cloth 104 .

[0038] In a further optimized solution, the second sealing component includes a second mounting hole 402 provided at the lower portion of the vertical plate 4, a second elastic cloth 403 is fixedly connected to the second mounting hole 402, and a second through hole 4031 is provided at the center of the second elastic cloth 403. The first elastic cloth 104 and the second elastic cloth 403 are made of rubber, and the mouse is sealed with the cavity storing the drug solution in the housing 1 by the first elastic cloth 104 and the second elastic cloth 403.

[0039] In a further optimized solution, the sensor assembly includes a liquid level sensor 101 fixed on the upper part of the side wall of the shell 1 and a temperature sensor 102 fixed on the side wall of the shell 1. The liquid level sensor 101 detects the height of the liquid in the shell 1, and the temperature sensor 102 detects the temperature of the liquid in the shell 1, and transmits the signal to the PLC controller.

[0040] In a further optimized solution, a boss 202 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the top of the shell 1, and a locking hook 201 is hinged on the upper surface of the cover 2. After the locking hook 201 is engaged, it matches the boss 202. By rotating the locking hook 201, it can be engaged with the boss 202, so that the cover 2 and the top of the shell 1 are well fixed. At the same time, after the cover 2 covers the shell 1, it can provide a downward force to the vertical plate 4, so that the vertical plate 4 and the partition 3 are in closer contact.

[0041] According to a further optimized solution, a first groove 302 is formed on the upper surface of the partition plate 3 , and a second groove 105 is formed on the inner wall of the shell 1 . The first groove 302 and the second groove 105 match the vertical plate 4 .

[0042] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0043] The check valve 601, the first water pump 701, the second water pump 801, and the electric heater are electrically connected to the PLC controller. When conducting the experiment, the vertical plate 4 is removed, and the mouse is put into the second sealing component on the vertical plate 4. The vertical plate 4 and the mouse are put into the shell 1 together, and the head of the mouse passes through the first sealing component on the shell 1, and the forelimbs of the mouse pass through the second sealing component on the vertical plate 4. The cover 2 is covered, and the third pipeline 8 is connected to the medicine liquid tank. The second water pump 801 is controlled by the PLC controller to extract the medicine from the medicine liquid tank and inject the medicine in the shell 1. The medicine used for medicinal bathing is used to immerse the mouse's abdomen and below in the medicine. The hot vapor from the medicine enters the cavity on the side of the vertical plate 4 away from the medicine circulation mechanism through the second porous structure 401 above the vertical plate 4. The mouse will move during the medicinal bathing process, and the second sealing component on the vertical plate 4 will leak medicine. When the medicine leaks, it passes through the first porous structure 301 and falls onto the first inclined plate 5, and then slides down through the first inclined plate 5 to the bottom of the shell 1. The PLC controller then controls the first water pump 701 to transport the leaked medicine back to the inside of the shell 1. By setting a liquid level sensor 101 and a temperature sensor 102 in the housing 1, the temperature and height of the liquid medicine are detected. When the liquid level sensor 101 detects that the liquid medicine height is low, the liquid level sensor 101 transmits a signal to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the second water pump 801 to extract liquid medicine from the liquid medicine tank to replenish the liquid medicine in the housing 1. When the temperature sensor 102 detects that the temperature of the liquid medicine is low, the temperature sensor 102 transmits a signal to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the electric heater to heat the liquid medicine in the housing 1. By bathing mice for a certain period of time and then observing the physical condition of the mice, the present invention sets the mice in a normal position, thereby reducing the activity of the mice during the bathing process, and making the experimental results more accurate.

[0044] Embodiment 2

[0045] The medicinal bath device of this embodiment is different from the embodiment 1 only in that the partition 3 is provided with a third porous structure 303, the third porous structure 303 is arranged on the side of the vertical plate 4 close to the liquid medicine circulation mechanism, a second inclined plate 10 is arranged below the third porous structure 303, a fourth pipe 9 is connected to the side wall of the shell 1, the fourth pipe 9 is connected to the bottom of the cavity composed of the second inclined plate 10, the partition 3, and the shell 1, and a solenoid valve 901 is installed on the fourth pipe 9. The solenoid valve 901 is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0046] Mice will produce feces during the medicinal bath process. Mouse feces is also known as Wulingzhi, which is mainly used to treat coldness in the heart and abdomen, five kinds of malnutrition in children, prevent epidemics, treat intestinal wind, promote the flow of qi and blood, and menstrual blockage in women. Therefore, during the experiment, the feces of mice will have a certain impact on the experimental results. By opening the third porous structure 303 on the partition 3, the mouse feces fall onto the second inclined plate 10 through the porous structure 303, and the solenoid valve 901 is intermittently controlled by the PLC controller to open, so that the mouse feces on the second inclined plate 10 are discharged, thereby reducing the impact of mouse feces on the medicinal bath results, thereby further improving the accuracy of the medicinal bath experiment.

[0047] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0048] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred modes of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by ordinary technicians in this field should all fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
