It is an important scientific research evaluation method to carry out motion intervention on experimental rats and various experimental paradigms and observe and record the behavioral indicators of experimental rats.

[0032] In the field of experimental animal behavior research, there are various technologies, but these existing technologies generally have some shortcomings and deficiencies, for example, the existing technology is limited to recording the movement trajectory and activity amount of small animals, and lacks complete monitoring and recording of their eating, drinking and other behaviors, so that the analysis is limited and one-sided, not comprehensive and reliable, and thus the results lack guiding significance for reality. At the same time, the existing behavior experiment device cannot truly simulate the real motion state situation, lacks monitoring of interaction parameters in different regions, cannot observe and record the dynamic body activity state of experimental mice throughout the time, the time resolution of the data is also low, and cannot give accurate activity amount. Therefore, how to optimize the experimental device to improve the accuracy of the experiment and the real-time nature of the data, and can realize different region data interaction analysis, has become a problem to be solved in the field.

[0033] Reference will now be made to the following description Figures 1-2 A small animal multifunctional motion ecological system monitoring platform 1 according to an embodiment of the present application is described.

[0034] The small animal multifunctional motion ecological system monitoring platform 1 according to the present application comprises a box 10, a detection device 20 and a feeding device 30, the box 10 forms an activity cavity for biological activity, and the activity cavity defines a plurality of activity regions and different activity regions; the detection device 20 is arranged in the box 10 and is adapted to detect the activity parameters of the biological in different activity regions, and the detection device 20 is selectively movable relative to the box 10 to follow the biological and record the corresponding region of the biological activity; the feeding device 30 is arranged in at least one of the activity regions, the feeding device 30 forms a carrier 311 for carrying feeding objects, and the feeding device 30 selectively feeds the carrier 311 with feed and / or water, and the feeding device 30 is adapted to obtain the change amount of the objects carried by the carrier 311.

[0035] Specifically, the activity cavity is formed in the box 10, and the activity cavity defines a plurality of activity regions, which can be positioned as regions capable of providing various activity functions, and the biological can perform different activities in different activity regions, and the biological can also continuously move in the same activity region.

[0036] It should be understood that the space in the box 10 is an entirety as shown in Figure 3 The present application divides and defines the space in the box 10 as a plurality of activity regions based on the functions that the regions in the box 10 can provide, for example, the dashed line region shown in Figure 1 in order to divide and count the overall activity data of the biological mice in the box 10.

[0037] For example, the area in which the box 10 is provided with the running disc 17 can be defined as a motion area, and the detection information of the biological mouse collected by the detection device 20 in the area can be used as motion information to statistically analyze the motion behavior of the biological mouse. In addition, the area in which the box 10 is provided with the feeding device 30 can be defined as a feeding activity area, and the detection information of the biological mouse collected by the detection device 20 in the area can be used as feeding information to statistically analyze the feeding activity of the biological mouse. In addition, the area in which the box 10 is provided with the stimulation device 40 can be defined as a stimulation activity area, and the detection information of the biological mouse collected by the detection device 20 in the area can be used as stimulation information to statistically analyze the stimulation condition of the biological mouse. In a feasible embodiment, the multiple activity areas can also be matched with multiple motion experiments. That is, the biological mouse can perform multiple motions in the multiple activity areas, and each motion can correspond to a type of motion to be experimented. It should be understood that, by defining the activity areas in the box as multiple activity areas, the present application not only ensures that the mouse can move in multiple functional activity areas, but also effectively divides the space in the box into functional areas, which facilitates understanding of the motion life rule of the mouse and provides more reliable experimental data for the motion health experiment of the mouse.

[0038] The detection device 20 is arranged in the box 10 and can detect the activity parameters of the biological mouse in different activity areas.

In addition, the controller 50 is connected with the feeding device 30 to receive the feeding amount of each feeding of feed and / or water by the feeding device 30, and the change amount of the object carried by the carrier 311, and then analyze the feeding amount of each feeding of the biological mouse. Further, the controller 50 can also comprehensively analyze the movement health of the biological mouse based on the activity parameters of the biological in different activity areas detected by the detection device 20 and the feeding amount of each feeding of the biological mouse obtained based on the analysis of the feeding device, such as the correlation between the movement amount and the feeding amount, the correlation between the movement time and the feeding amount, etc.

[0042] In a feasible embodiment, the detection device 20 and the feeding device 30 can continuously detect the activity parameters of the biological mouse in the box 10 and the change amount of the carried object. Under the condition of stable power supply, the data collection can be continuously performed for 7*24 hours without interruption, and the collection frequency can be determined according to the performance of the detection device 20 and the feeding device 30, for example, the collection frequency can be set to one minute under the condition of performance permission, and the detection accuracy of the feeding device 30 can be set to milligrams, etc.

[0043] The small animal multifunctional movement ecological system monitoring platform of the present application forms multiple activity areas in the box and sets multiple activity areas in the same experimental box, so that the experimental box can meet the multiple activity needs of the biological mouse, effectively avoid the movement deficiency of the mouse due to the condition limitation, enrich the activity range of the biological, and the biological can not only continuously move in the same activity area, but also move in different activity areas. At the same time, the detection device capable of following the relative movement of the biological with respect to the box is arranged in the box, so that the activity parameters and interaction parameters of the biological in the connected multiple activity areas can be continuously obtained, the reliability and accuracy of the comprehensive experiment are effectively improved, and the experimental efficiency is improved.

[0047] It should be noted that the controller 50 can be configured with a trained position recognition model, which is used to analyze the position of the mouse in the real-time image collected by the image acquisition device 21.
