Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of feces devices, and specifically designs a special inner liner for a giant panda feces storage device. Background Art

[0002] Giant pandas like to eat bamboo, which is crude fiber. The digestion and utilization rate of bamboo is low, and the food stays in the body for a short time. Therefore, they eat a lot and excrete quickly to obtain enough energy to meet their needs. The parts of bamboo eaten by giant pandas are different in different seasons, and the types of bamboo eaten by giant pandas in different regions are different. Studying the eating habits of wild giant pandas, understanding their intestinal flora through their feces, and paying attention to their health will help the reproduction of giant pandas.

[0003] The current common method for collecting feces from wild giant pandas is to collect the feces and put them into a plastic collection bag, and then take them back to the laboratory. Although this method is widely used, the inventors found in the further research process that this method still has some shortcomings, specifically:

[0004] Because feces are rich in water and contain a large number of microorganisms and bacteria, it usually takes a long time to get from mountainous areas to the laboratory when it is sealed in a collection bag. The altitude fluctuates greatly, and the ambient temperature also varies greatly. Feces contain microorganisms and bacteria, which makes it easy for feces to deteriorate in a sealed environment and in a warm and humid environment. This results in differences between the test data in the laboratory and the actual data of giant panda feces.

[0005] On the other hand, the staple food of giant pandas is bamboo, which has coarse fibers. The feces are rough on the inside and smooth on the outside. After being collected in the wild, they are packaged in flexible collection bags. During the journey from the wild mountains to the laboratory, the feces shake violently, causing them to roll or be squeezed, which in turn destroys their physical form. All of these reduce the accuracy of feces testing in the laboratory. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A special inner liner for a giant panda feces storage device, comprising a liner body with a port and a cover plate closing the port, wherein a cavity for storing animal feces is formed between the liner body and the cover plate;

[0008] The body comprises an elastic film having elasticity, a transparent layer folded on one side of the elastic film, a flexible buffer layer arranged in a closed interlayer formed between the elastic film and the transparent layer, and an interface connected to a cover plate (2).

[0009] The gallbladder body is divided into a hemispherical region and a corrugated region from bottom to top. The inner side of the hemispherical region is hemispherical, and the corrugated region is a corrugated structure in the vertical direction.

[0010] The transparent layer is elastic. The thickness of the transparent layer is greater than the thickness of the elastic film, and the elastic modulus of the transparent layer material is greater than the elastic modulus of the elastic film.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the flexible buffer layer is water.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, in the natural state, the elastic film is in a relaxed state, and the size of the elastic film ensures that after placing giant panda feces inside the elastic film, at least a part of the elastic film located above the giant panda feces can cover the giant panda feces under the support of the flexible buffer layer.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the interface includes a ring body provided at the port and handles provided on opposite sides of the ring body. The ring wall is provided with threads, and a cover plate with the same threads is screwed through the threads.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a protective cover is provided on the outer periphery of the gallbladder body.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the protective cover includes a cover body, a cover lid rotatably connected to the cover body, and a bracket for supporting the gallbladder body.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the bracket is composed of a ring body with the same axis as the axis of the cover body and a plurality of support rods distributed around the outer periphery of the ring body. One end of the support rod is fixedly connected to the cover body, and the other end is fixedly connected to the ring body.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the interface further includes a flange extending from the edge of the ring body away from the center of the ring body, and the inner diameter of the ring body is smaller than the outer diameter of the flange.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a circular hole with the same axis as the axis of the cover body is provided in the middle of the cover lid, and the diameter of the circular hole is smaller than the outer diameter of the cover plate.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a through hole is provided at the bottom of the cover body. A cover is connected to the through hole. One side of the cover is rotatably connected to the hole wall through a pin shaft, and the other side can be locked to the hole wall. A sealing ring is provided in the annular gap in contact after the cover is locked to the through hole.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a pipe orifice communicating with the pipeline is provided on the cover body for injecting gas, liquid or gas-liquid mixture into the cover body through the pipe orifice.

[0021] Advantages of the present invention compared with the prior art:

[0022] 1. A double-layer film with a thinner inner layer and a thicker outer layer and a flexible buffer layer are provided. When the giant panda feces enter the gallbladder body, they will fall into the flexible buffer layer due to their own gravity and be wrapped. This can not only buffer and keep warm the feces, reducing the influence of external temperature changes, but also prevent the giant panda feces from shaking violently during long-distance transportation and avoid physical deformation.

[0023] 2. Water is used as the buffer layer. Since water has good heat preservation and heat insulation effects and good fluidity, especially in this application, the elastic film is in a relaxed state. The size of the elastic film ensures that after the giant panda feces are placed inside the elastic film, at least a part of the elastic film above the giant panda feces can be supported by the flexible buffer layer and cover the giant panda feces, so that the giant panda feces are wrapped, and as much as possible, the damage to the external shape caused by the feces rolling in the elastic film during shaking is reduced. In this way, the real data feedback of the giant panda feces in the laboratory after collection is further improved.

[0024] 3. A cover body with a higher hardness is provided. It can not only block the damage and impact of foreign objects on the gallbladder body, but also be disassembled and replaced. The cover and the cover plate are independently set. During the detection process, the opening of the gallbladder body can be opened and the cover body can be sealed. There is no need to replace the preservation container for the giant panda feces again, maintaining the stable state of the giant panda feces and ensuring the accuracy of the detection.

[0025] 4. A medium is filled into the cover body to control the temperature of the medium to maintain the temperature of the flexible buffer layer and assist in supporting the flexible buffer layer, providing a stable preservation environment for the giant panda feces and extending the preservation time.

Such terms are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus should not be construed as limiting the present invention. In addition, terms such as "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive distinction and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0039] Embodiment 1:

[0040] Refer to Figures 1 to 3As shown in the figure, a special inner liner for a giant panda feces preservation device provided in this embodiment includes a bladder body 1 with a port and a cover plate 2 for closing the port. A cavity for preserving animal feces is formed between the bladder body 1 and the cover plate 2;

[0041] The bladder body 1 includes an elastic thin film 12, a transparent layer 11 wrinkled on one side of the elastic thin film 12, a flexible buffer layer 13 disposed in the closed interlayer formed between the elastic thin film 12 and the transparent layer 11, and an interface 14 connecting the cover plate 2.

[0042] The bladder body 1 is divided into a hemispherical region and a corrugated region from bottom to top. The inner side of the hemispherical region is hemispherical, and the corrugated region is a corrugated structure in the vertical direction.

[0043] The transparent layer is elastic. The thickness of the transparent layer 11 is greater than the thickness of the elastic thin film 12, and the elastic modulus of the material of the transparent layer 11 is greater than the elastic modulus of the elastic thin film 12.

[0044] When there is no giant panda feces placed, the elastic thin film 12 does not deform and is a circular thin film. Its edge is welded to the lower surface of the interface 14. This thin film has high elasticity and low thickness and directly contacts the giant panda feces. It can deform under the gravity of the giant panda feces, causing the giant panda feces to sink into the flexible buffer layer 13 for wrapping. The transparent layer 11 disposed outside the flexible buffer layer 13 is also a thin film, but its thickness is thicker than that of the elastic thin film 12, and its elastic performance approaches zero. It can cooperate with the elastic thin film 12 to form an interlayer to support the flexible buffer layer 13 and the giant panda feces, so that the giant panda feces will not shake violently during long-distance transportation and avoid its physical deformation.

[0045] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, the flexible buffer layer 13 is water. The flexible buffer layer 13 in this embodiment can also be other naturally flowing liquid media. While achieving good thermal insulation effects, it can also further provide good buffering effects. On the one hand, it reduces the impact of external temperature on the internal temperature of the bile body, and avoids the deterioration of giant panda feces caused by the sudden change of the external environment after going down the mountain. Further, in a natural state, the elastic film 12 is in a relaxed state, and the size of the elastic film 12 ensures that after placing giant panda feces inside the elastic film 12, the elastic film 12 located above the giant panda feces can at least partially cover the top of the giant panda feces under the support of the flexible buffer layer 13. In this embodiment, water is used as a buffer layer because water has good thermal insulation effects and good fluidity. In particular, in this application, the elastic film 12 is in a relaxed state. The size of the elastic film 12 ensures that after the giant panda feces is placed on the inner side of the elastic film 12, the elastic film 12 located above the giant panda feces can be supported by the flexible buffer layer 13. At least a part of the elastic film 12 covers the top of the giant panda feces, so that the giant panda feces is wrapped, and the damage to the shape of the feces caused by rolling in the elastic film 12 during shaking is minimized as much as possible. In this way, the real data feedback in the laboratory after the giant panda feces are collected is further improved.

[0046] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, the interface 14 includes a ring body 141 arranged at the port and handles 142 arranged on opposite sides of the ring body 141, wherein the ring wall is provided with threads and a cover plate 2 which is also provided with threads is screwed on through the threads.

[0047] Embodiment 2:

[0048] The embodiment provides a special inner liner for a giant panda feces storage device. On the basis of the above embodiment, it further includes a protective cover 3 arranged on the periphery of the gallbladder body 1. The protective cover 3 is made of hard metal, which can not only prevent foreign objects from damaging and impacting the gallbladder body 1, but also provide a stable storage environment for giant panda feces. The protective cover 3 includes a cover body 31, a cover cover 32 screwed to the cover body 31, and a bracket 33 supporting the gallbladder body 1; the bracket 33 is formed by an axis aligned with the axis of the cover body 31. The cover 32 is provided with a circular hole 321 with an axis center consistent with the axis center of the cover 31, and a diameter of the circular hole 321 is smaller than the outer diameter of the cover plate 2. After the gallbladder body 1 sealed with the cover plate 2 is placed in the bracket 33, the cover cover 32 is screwed on, and the inner wall of the cover cover 32 can squeeze the cover plate 2, so that the cover plate 2 is limited between the bracket 33 and the cover cover 32.

[0049] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, the interface 14 further includes a flange 143 extending away from the center of the ring body 141 from the edge of the ring body 141. The inner diameter of the ring body 331 is smaller than the outer diameter of the flange 143, ensuring that when the bile body 1 is placed on the bracket 33, the ring body 331 can support the flange 143, thereby supporting the inner liner.

[0050] As a preferred technical solution of this embodiment, the diameter of the round hole 321 is also smaller than the outer diameter of the flange 143. When the bile body 1 is not equipped with the cover plate 2 and the cover 32 is installed on the cover body 31, the cover 32 can also limit the bile body 1 between the bracket 33 and the cover 32. During the detection process, the opening of the bile body 1 and the sealing of the cover body 31 maintain the stable state of the giant panda feces, ensuring the accuracy of the detection.

[0051] Embodiment 3:

[0052] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is only that: a protective cover 3 provided in this embodiment has a through hole 311 opened at the bottom of the cover body 31. A sealing cover 312 is connected to the through hole 311, with one side rotatably connected to the hole wall through a pin shaft and the other side capable of locking to the hole wall. A sealing ring 313 is provided in the annular gap formed when the sealing cover 312 is locked with the through hole 311.

[0053] Embodiment 4:

[0054] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 3 is only that: a protective cover 3 provided in this embodiment has a pipe orifice 4 communicating with the pipeline opened on the cover body 31, for injecting gas, liquid or gas-liquid mixture into the cover body 31 through the pipe orifice 4, and assisting the elastic film 12, the transparent layer 11 and the flexible buffer layer 13 to support the giant panda feces by filling the medium. At the same time, the medium can maintain the temperature stability. By replenishing the medium with temperature, the giant panda feces can be preserved for a longer time. The pipe orifice 4 in this embodiment can be connected to a thermal circulation system, and the filled medium can be circulated and heated to a certain temperature to achieve the effect of constant temperature preservation and extended preservation time.

[0055] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and do not limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. Although this specification has described the present invention in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments. Therefore, any modification or equivalent replacement of the present invention; and all technical solutions and their improvements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention are covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
