[0022] Step 2: administering drugs to mice in group A, and increasing the dosage after observing the recovery of the mice, and administering drugs again, and repeating this process for multiple times until the dosage of mice in group A is close to the lethal dose range, so as to cultivate drug resistance in mice; mice in groups B and C are not given drugs in the initial state; placing the mice in the main body of the observation box, closing the main body of the observation box and locking it through the locking component, and monitoring the physical signs of the mice in the main body of the observation box;

[0023] Step 3: When the mouse leaves the floating feeding table at one end, the electronic scale on the lower side of the floating feeding table is reset to zero. When the mouse returns to the floating feeding table, the weight of the mouse on the floating feeding table is weighed by the electronic scale;

[0024] Step 4: After the mice are dosed, the floating feeding platforms at both ends are adjusted to a lower position by adjusting the support components so that the mice can normally move to the floating feeding platform to eat. In the subsequent feeding process, the height of the floating feeding platform is gradually raised by adjusting the support components.

[0025] Step 5: While carrying out steps 1, 2 and 3, the mouse feces are collected and stored in real time by the collection mechanism, and the time of each defecation of the mouse can be recorded by the collection mechanism, so that the experimenter does not need to collect the mouse feces in real time and record the defecation time; the record is more accurate, the collection and storage are more timely, and the accuracy of the feces sample is guaranteed to the maximum extent; by testing the components of the mouse feces sample, it is determined whether there are toxic drug residues and the residual amount in the mouse feces, as well as the change of the toxic drug residue in the mouse feces over time;

[0027] Step 7: All surviving mice are assigned to group a, and mice from group c are selected to group b; after a period of feeding, when the mice recover, the dosage is increased again and administered to the mice in groups a and b; the status and mortality of the mice in groups a and b are observed, and corresponding experimental conclusions are drawn; and this operation is repeated until the mortality of one group of mice in groups a and b is greater than 90%, and the experiment is terminated.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. By arranging the floating feeding platforms for feeding food and water at the two ends of the main body of the observation box, the mice are prevented from staying at the same end continuously; when the mice leave the floating feeding platform at one end, the electronic scale on the lower side of the floating feeding platform is reset to zero, and when the mice return to the floating feeding platform, the weight of the mice on the floating feeding platform is weighed by the electronic scale;

[0029] 2. After the mice are given the drug, the floating feeding platforms at both ends are adjusted to a lower position by adjusting the support components so that the mice can normally move to the floating feeding platform to eat. In the subsequent feeding process, the height of the floating feeding platform is gradually raised by adjusting the support components. If the mice cannot or find it difficult to move to the floating feeding platform after raising the height of the floating feeding platform, the height of the floating feeding platform can be lowered; until the mice can normally climb to the floating feeding platform at a higher position, then it is determined that the mice have recovered their mobility;

[0030] 3. The arrangement of the observation box body, the locking component and the blocking component facilitates the removal of mice from the observation box body, thereby preventing the mice from escaping from the observation box body when the mice are removed;

[0031] 4. The feces produced by mice are collected and preserved in real time through the collection mechanism. At the same time, the collection mechanism can record the time of each defecation of mice, so that the experimenter does not need to collect the mouse feces in real time and record the defecation time; making the record more accurate, the collection and preservation more timely, and maximizing the accuracy of fecal samples; by testing the components of mouse fecal samples, it is possible to determine whether there are toxic drug residues and the residual amount in the mouse feces, as well as the changes in the toxic drug residues in the mouse feces over time.

[0044] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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.

[0045] The terms “left”, “right”, “front”, “back”, “up” and “down” mentioned in the following description are oriented in the viewing direction of the front view.

[0046] Embodiment 1: In some embodiments, please refer to the drawings of the specification Figure 1-Figure 3 , an observation device based on toxicity testing, comprising a base station 1;

[0047] A plurality of long strip-shaped observation boxes 2 are installed on the base platform 1; a detection mechanism 3 for detecting the weight and exercise ability of mice is installed on the observation box 2;

[0048] The detection mechanism 3 includes a floating feeding table 31, an adjustment support assembly 32 and an electronic scale 33; a floating feeding table 31 for feeding is installed at one end of the observation box 2, and a floating feeding table 31 for feeding water is installed at the other end of the observation box 2; an adjustment support assembly 32 for adjusting the height of the floating feeding table 31 is installed on the lower side of both ends of the observation box 2; an electronic scale 33 for weighing the floating feeding table 31 is provided on the top of the adjustment support assembly 32;

[0049] A collecting mechanism 4 is installed on the base 1 facing the lower side of the observation box 2 to collect and store the mouse feces in the plurality of observation boxes 2 according to the time and order of defecation.

[0050] In this embodiment, when the observation device based on toxicity test works normally, multiple groups of devices are set, and multiple mice are selected and divided into three groups a, b and c; during the experiment, the mice are administrated orally or intragastrically; the mice are placed in the observation box body 21, the observation box body 21 is closed and locked by the locking component 22, and then the mice are raised until the set time of the experiment ends;

[0051] In this process, the floating feeding tables 31 for feeding and watering are respectively arranged at the two ends of the observation box body 21, so as to prevent the mice from staying at the same end continuously; when the mice leave the floating feeding table 31 at one end, the electronic scale 33 at the lower side of the floating feeding table 31 is reset to zero, and when the mice return to the floating feeding table 31, the weight of the mice on the floating feeding table 31 is weighed by the electronic scale 33;

[0052] After the mice are medicated, the floating feeding platforms 31 at both ends are adjusted to a lower position by adjusting the support assembly 32, so that the mice can normally move to the floating feeding platform 31 to eat. In the subsequent feeding process, the height of the floating feeding platform 31 is gradually raised by adjusting the support assembly 32. If the mice cannot or find it difficult to move to the floating feeding platform 31 after the floating feeding platform 31 is raised, the height of the floating feeding platform 31 can be lowered; until the mice are able to climb normally to the floating feeding platform 31 at a higher position, it is determined that the mice have recovered their mobility.

[0053] The arrangement of the observation box body 21, the locking assembly 22 and the blocking assembly 23 facilitates the removal of mice from the observation box body 21, thereby preventing the mice from escaping from the observation box body 21 when the mice are removed.

[0054] The feces produced by the mice are collected and stored in real time by the collecting mechanism 4, and the time of each defecation of the mice can be recorded by the collecting mechanism 4, so that the experimenter does not need to collect the feces of the mice in real time and record the defecation time; the record is more accurate, the collection and storage are more timely, and the accuracy of the feces sample is guaranteed to the maximum extent; by detecting the components of the mouse feces sample, it is determined whether there are toxic drug residues and the residual amount in the mouse feces, as well as the change of the toxic drug residue in the mouse feces over time;

[0055] In the early stage of preparation, mice in group A were initially given a small dose, and after the mice were observed to recover, the dose was increased and given again, and this was repeated several times until the dose of mice in group A was close to the lethal dose range, thereby cultivating drug resistance in mice; mice in groups B and C were not given any drug in the initial state;

[0056] When the dosage of mice in group A is close to the lethal dosage range, the dosage is increased and administered to mice in groups A and B at the same time; when the mortality rates of mice in groups A and B are both low and lower than 20%, if the mortality rate of mice in group A is greater than that of mice in group B, then the administration of drugs to mice in group A during the early feeding stage caused short-term irreversible damage to the mice; if the mortality rate of mice in group A is not significantly different from that of mice in group B, then the administration of drugs to mice in group A during the early feeding stage did not cause short-term irreversible damage to the mice;

[0057] Then, all the surviving mice are put into group A, and mice from group C are selected and put into group B; after a period of feeding, the mice regain their mobility, eat normally, and their weight is not significantly reduced compared with the last weighing, and there is no toxic drug residue in the feces; the mice can be taken out to test other physical signs of the mice, and the dosage is increased again to give the drugs to the mice in groups A and B; this operation is repeated until the mortality rate of one group of mice in groups A and B is greater than 90%, and the experiment is terminated;

[0058] During this process, the mortality rates of mice in group A and group B were continuously observed; if the mortality rate of mice in group A was consistent with that of mice in group B, then during this test period, mice in group A did not show obvious drug resistance in the early feeding; if the mortality rate of mice in group A was significantly lower than that of mice in group B, such as the difference in mortality rates was more than twice, then the mice in group A developed drug resistance in the early feeding stage; if the mortality rate of mice in group A was significantly higher than that of mice in group B, such as the difference in mortality rates was more than twice, then the drug administration to mice in group A during the last feeding stage caused short-term and irreversible damage to the mice.

[0070] Feed food or water into the feeding trough 314 through the feeding port 215, and set the feeding troughs 314 for feeding food and water at both ends of the box 213 respectively, so as to prevent the mouse from always staying in one position; after the mouse leaves the support plate 313, adjust the electronic scale 33 to zero, and after the mouse returns to the support plate 313, use the electronic scale 33 to detect the weight of the mouse, so that the mouse does not need to be taken out of the box 213, and the weight of the mouse can be measured before the mouse eats;

[0071] During the test, the winding roller 46 winds up the film 41 at a relatively low speed through the cooperation of the unwinding roller 42, the guide roller 43, the adjusting roller 44 and the feeding roller 45. During this process, the linear speed of the film 41 is kept constant. The feces produced by the test mice fall through the criss-crossed round rods 218 and fall to the upper side of the film 41 between the feeding roller 45 and the winding roller 46 under the guidance of the collecting bucket 217. The winding roller 46 winds up the film 41 and the mouse feces on the film 41 at the same time. The mouse feces are collected in time by the film 41, and the rolled-up film 41 wraps the feces to preserve the film 41. By rolling up the film 41 at a uniform speed, the defecation time corresponding to the feces can be calculated according to the location of the feces, so that when analyzing the feces components, the toxic drug residues corresponding to the feces can be obtained, as well as the changes of the toxic drug residues in the feces over time.

[0072] Embodiment 3: In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 9 As shown, as a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a test method of an observation device based on toxicity testing comprises the following steps:

[0073] Step 1: Select a number of mice and divide them into three groups: a, b and c; during the experiment, the mice are administrated orally or intragastrically;

[0074] Step 2: administering drugs to mice in group A, and increasing the dosage after observing the recovery of the mice, and administering drugs again, and repeating the process multiple times until the dosage of mice in group A is close to the lethal dosage range, so as to cultivate drug resistance in mice; mice in groups B and C are not administered drugs in the initial state; placing the mice in the observation box body 21, closing the observation box body 21 and locking it through the locking component 22, and monitoring the physical signs of the mice in the observation box body 21;

[0075] Step 3: When the mouse leaves the floating feeding table 31 at one end, the electronic scale 33 at the lower side of the floating feeding table 31 is reset to zero, and when the mouse returns to the floating feeding table 31, the weight of the mouse on the floating feeding table 31 is weighed by the electronic scale 33;

[0076] Step 4: After the mice are medicated, the floating feeding platforms 31 at both ends are adjusted to a lower position by adjusting the support assembly 32, so that the mice can normally move to the floating feeding platform 31 to eat. In the subsequent feeding process, the height of the floating feeding platform 31 is gradually raised by adjusting the support assembly 32. If the mice cannot or find it difficult to move to the floating feeding platform 31 after the floating feeding platform 31 is raised, the height of the floating feeding platform 31 can be lowered; until the mice are able to climb normally to the floating feeding platform 31 at a higher position, it is determined that the mice have recovered their mobility;

[0077] Step 5: While performing steps 1, 2, and 3, the mouse feces are collected and stored in real time by the collecting mechanism 4, and the time of each defecation of the mouse can be recorded by the collecting mechanism 4, so that the experimenter does not need to collect the mouse feces in real time and record the defecation time; the record is more accurate, the collection and storage are more timely, and the accuracy of the feces sample is guaranteed to the maximum extent; by detecting the components of the mouse feces sample, it is determined whether there are toxic drug residues and the residual amount in the mouse feces, as well as the change of the toxic drug residue in the mouse feces over time;

[0078] Step 6: Repeat steps 2, 3, 4 and 5 until the dosage of mice in group A is close to the lethal dosage range, and increase the dosage to mice in groups A and B at the same time; observe the status and mortality of mice in groups A and B, and draw corresponding experimental conclusions;

[0079] Step 7: All surviving mice are assigned to group a, and mice from group c are selected to group b; after a period of feeding, when the mice recover, the dosage is increased again and administered to the mice in groups a and b; the status and mortality of the mice in groups a and b are observed, and corresponding experimental conclusions are drawn; and this operation is repeated until the mortality of one group of mice in groups a and b is greater than 90%, and the experiment is terminated.
