Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of acupuncture equipment, and in particular to an anti-falling acupuncture device for animals. Background Art

[0002] In some research experiments, it is often necessary to conduct acupuncture experiments on animals, especially rodents. Acupuncture will cause discomfort to the animals. Under stress, the animals will move violently, making it difficult to perform acupuncture normally. For rodents, the most critical thing is that they have the ability to hurt people. If their heads swing randomly, they may bite the experimenters. Moreover, once the head is out of control, the animal can easily get out of control.

[0003] During animal experiments, it is generally necessary to restrict the animals' movement. Acupuncture is different from ordinary injections and other short-term operations. It takes a relatively long time. Therefore, it is definitely not possible to temporarily hold down the animals or use some simple tools to simply control them. At this time, it is necessary to develop a special auxiliary device that can limit the swing of rodents' heads and prevent them from getting out of control during acupuncture experiments, so as to better complete acupuncture experiments.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating column is rotatably mounted in a rectangular block, and the rectangular block is linearly slidably mounted in the sliding hole and cannot be separated from the sliding hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the cylindrical moving part also includes a threaded block, the center of the bottom end of the driven gear is rotatably connected to the threaded block, and the threaded block is threadably penetrated and installed by the lead screw.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions 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. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0026] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the invention claimed for protection, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention. 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.

[0027] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0028] See also Figure 1-2 The present invention provides a technical solution: an anti-falling acupuncture device for animals, the main structure of which includes a commonly used acupuncture device and a control console for restraining animals. The control console is used for a placement plate 1 for the animal to lie on, and a limiting component arranged on the placement plate 1. These limiting components are used to limit the animal from swinging at will, so as to prevent the animal from moving around during acupuncture, especially rodents, which will not only affect the acupuncture experiment, but also bite the staff due to stress reaction. Therefore, it is necessary to restrain them. Specifically, if Figure 2 The limiting component includes a plurality of pairs of cylindrical moving parts 3 arranged at intervals on the left and right sides, and the cylindrical moving parts 3 include a limiting cylinder 10 perpendicular to the placement plate 1. A neck pressing belt 4 is connected between the tops of the two cylindrical moving parts 3. The neck pressing belt 4 is preferably made of a material with a certain elasticity to press the neck of the animal to prevent it from shaking its head. In addition, the cylindrical moving parts are installed in a sliding hole 101 on the placement plate 1 in a linear sliding manner. The sliding hole 101 is a rectangular strip hole structure. The two cylindrical moving parts 3 are threadedly installed on a screw rod 2 and driven in the form of a screw rod 2 mechanism. During use, when the screw rod 2 rotates, the two relatively arranged limiting cylinders 10 approach each other and first contact the side of the animal's neck, so that the animal's neck can be clamped from the left and right sides to prevent it from shaking left and right. The aforementioned neck pressing belt 4 is pressed on the animal's neck to limit the moving position of the animal's head, and prevent it from shaking greatly and affecting the experiment, especially to prevent it from turning its head and biting the experimenter.

[0029] In this embodiment: Please refer to Figure 2Specifically, the cylindrical moving member 3 further comprises a rotating column 5 and a sliding column 8 with a rectangular cross section. The rotating column 5 and the sliding column 8 are coaxially threadedly sleeved through a stud 9, and the ends of the rotating column 5 and the sliding column 8 opposite to each other are always located in the axial hole of the limiting cylinder 10. During installation, the upper section of the rotating column 5 is linearly slidably installed in the sliding hole 101, that is, it can linearly slide in the sliding hole 101, and a driven gear 6 is integrally provided at the bottom end of the rotating column 5, and the driven gear 6 is meshed with a rack 7 fixedly installed on the mounting plate 1. During use, when the driven gear 6 moves linearly toward the other driven gear 6 along the extension direction of the sliding hole 101, it will rotate due to the engagement with the rack 7, that is, the rotating column 5 rotates, which can make the sliding column 8 move downward through the threaded pair of the stud 9, that is, when the two cylindrical moving parts 3 move closer to each other, the neck pressing belt 4 also moves downward together and gets closer to the neck of the animal. Therefore, when encountering smaller animals or animals with smaller necks, as the two cylindrical moving parts 3 need to move closer to each other, the neck pressing belt 4 also moves downward more accordingly, thereby adapting to the trend of the animal's neck becoming smaller and flexibly and quickly restricting the animal's neck and its surrounding parts.

[0030] In specific practice, Figure 2 The rotating column 5 is rotatably mounted in a rectangular block 11, and the rectangular block 11 is linearly slidably mounted in the sliding hole 101 and cannot be separated from the sliding hole 101, so as to better slide along the sliding hole 101 with the rotating column 5. In addition, refer to Figure 3 The cylindrical moving part 3 also includes a threaded block 15 for connecting with the screw rod 2. At the same time, the bottom center of the driven gear 6 is connected to the threaded block 15 in a rotationally matched manner, that is, the driven gear 6 can rotate freely on the threaded block 15, and can also be slid and moved linearly together. During the specific installation, the threaded block 15 can be installed by being threadedly fitted through the screw rod 2.

[0031] In this embodiment: As one of the implementation details, Figure 2 The stud 9 is coaxially fixed to the bottom end of the sliding column 8. The top end of the rotating column 5 opposite to the sliding column 8 has a threaded blind hole 12. The stud 9 is threadedly inserted into the threaded blind hole 12 to form a thread pair, so that when the rotating column 5 rotates, the sliding column 8 can move up and down. More specifically, the structural design for the rotation of the driven gear 6 relative to the threaded block 15 can be Figure 2 As shown, there is a circular groove at the bottom center of the driven gear 6, and correspondingly, there is a circular boss at the top center of the threaded block 15, which is inserted into the circular groove in a rotationally matched manner and is in axial elastic compression contact with the bottom of the circular groove through the disc spring 14. Based on the above structure, as Figure 5One structure is: a radially extending ring 18 is provided on the side of the circular boss, and the ring 18 is rotatably mounted in the annular groove on the groove wall of the circular groove, and is connected to the circular groove at the bottom center of the driven gear 6 in a similar manner to a hook. Figure 2 As another structure: a locking screw 13 is axially installed at the bottom of the threaded blind hole 12, and the bottom end of the locking screw 13 is screwed into the circular boss in a threaded fit, and when the locking screw 13 is rotated, the degree of compression of the disc spring 14 is changed, thereby realizing the adjustment of the rotation sensitivity of the driven gear 6 relative to the threaded block 15, so that a relatively stable connection relationship can be maintained between the two under normal conditions. Compared with the previous structure, it is less likely to rotate relative to each other, and the tightness of this rotation fit can be adjusted at any time.

[0032] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown, the top of the rotating column 5 has an annular mounting groove, in which a connecting ring 16 is rotatably mounted, and one side of the connecting ring 16 is connected to one end of the neck compression band 4 to achieve the up and down movement of the neck compression band 4. In order to better compress the neck of the corresponding animal, the center of the neck compression band 4 has a buckle 17, which can clamp the folded part of the bandage in the center, so that the compression degree of the neck compression band 4 can be roughly adjusted by storing the folded length of the folded compression band, which is very practical for switching between two animals with a large difference in size.

[0033] As one of the optimized design structures of this embodiment, Figure 1 The limiting component includes two pairs of cylindrical moving parts 3 arranged front and back, and the rear pair of cylindrical moving parts 3 is used to clamp the tail root of the animal from the left and right sides, so that the head and tail of the animal can be controlled to better prevent it from swinging violently, and the front and rear pairs of cylindrical moving parts 3, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tops of the two columnar moving parts 3 in the diagonal direction are connected by a diagonal belt, and the two diagonal belts are crossed in an X shape and tightly attached to the back of the animal, applying a certain pressure to the back and restricting the movement of the body parts.

[0034] The structure described in the above embodiments is for restricting the movement of the head, tail or torso. If there are specific implementation requirements for restrictions on other parts, such as legs, they can be restrained and controlled according to existing restraint methods. This embodiment will not be elaborated on, and it is not the technical solution to be protected by the present invention.

[0035] In the above description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "one side", "the other side", etc. indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of the invention is usually placed when in use, which is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and does 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 cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] In addition, the term "same" does not mean that the parts must be absolutely the same, but slight differences are allowed. The term "vertical" only means that the positional relationship between the parts is more vertical than "parallel", and does not mean that the structure must be completely vertical, but can be slightly tilted.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
