Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal weightlessness experiments, and in particular to a wearable suspension device for animal weightlessness experiments. Background Art
[0002] In life science research, it is often necessary to keep experimental animals in a specific posture for observation, study or handling. Since animals are naturally active and difficult to control, researchers need to use restraints that can limit the body movement of animals to a certain extent to achieve the purpose of controlling animals. In simulated weightlessness research, in order to simulate the effects of microgravity on experimental animals, a specific suspension restraint system is particularly needed.
[0003] At present, the tail suspension model is mostly used in animal experiments simulating microgravity. In this traditional tail suspension model, the tail binding material often falls off due to excessive struggling of the animals, and researchers need to repeatedly perform the tail binding operation, which is not conducive to long-term research. In addition, the unstable suspension angle in the traditional tail suspension model is also a key problem that technicians in this field need to solve urgently. Some researchers use the method of threading the tail with a wire to reduce the problem of repeated binding, but this can easily cause systemic inflammation and affect the research results. In severe cases, it can cause the tail to break, and subsequent scientific research cannot be carried out. At the same time, this model also has problems such as low research efficiency, inability to collect animal physiological data in real time, and limited animal diet and water supply.
[0004] In view of this, the existing technology still needs to be improved and developed. Summary of the invention

The wrapping portion 21 is rectangular and is provided with four through holes, which are respectively located at the four corners of the wrapping portion 21. The red buckle is connected to the side wall of the wrapping portion 21 through the through holes to lift the I-shaped restraining garment 2; two first fixing portions 22 and two second fixing portions 23 are respectively provided on both sides of the wrapping portion 21, the first fixing portions 22 and the second fixing portions 23 correspond one to one, and are located at the same end of the wrapping portion 21, the first fixing portions 22 and the second fixing portions 23 cooperate with each other to wrap the abdomen of the experimental animal; a pocket 24 is also provided on the outer surface of the wrapping portion 21, and the pocket 24 is used to place an experimental sensor for detecting the data of the experimental animal.
[0071] Specifically, the experimental sensor is first placed in the pocket 24, and then the wrapping part 21 is spread from the back of the experimental animal to both sides and wrapped around the abdomen of the experimental animal. The first fixing part 22 and the second fixing part 23 at both ends are intertwined, and the first fixing part 22 and the second fixing part 23 cooperate to restrain the wrapping part 21, so that the wrapping part 21 can firmly wrap the experimental animal to prevent the experimental animal from falling during the experiment, and then the experiment can be carried out.

The metal rod frame 12 is composed of a plurality of metal rods. The receiving tray 13 is arranged on the metal rod frame 12 and is located inside the metal rod frame 12 to cover the opening at the bottom of the metal rod frame 12 to prevent the excrement produced by the experimental animals from falling. A buckle is provided on the outer surface of the receiving tray 13, and the buckle is engaged with the metal rod frame 12 to fix the receiving tray 13 to the metal rod frame 12. A placing portion 4 is also provided on the metal rod frame 12, and the placing portion 4 is used to place food and water to meet the basic living needs of the experimental animals.
[0076] Since the experimental animals may be suspended for several days, a placement part 4 is required to place food and water. The experimental animals are suspended by a metal chain 3 in cooperation with an I-shaped restraining garment 2. The metal chain 3 is formed by buckling a plurality of chain links, so that the experimental animals have a certain range of activities. The I-shaped restraining garment 2 is wrapped around the abdomen of the experimental animals, and has no restraining effect on the head and limbs of the experimental animals. The experimental animals can be moved to the position of the placement part 4 by shaking, and can eat food and water to ensure the normal life needs of the experimental animals, so that the experimental data of the experimental animals can also be observed;

In the present application, a receiving tray 13 is arranged inside the metal rod frame 12, and the experimental animals and the placement portion 4 are both located on the top of the receiving tray 13. The excrement of the experimental animals, as well as the water and food that fall, will all fall on the receiving tray 13, which is convenient for cleaning and avoids certain impacts during the weightlessness experiment of the experimental animals.
