Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of animal experiments, and in particular to an animal survival ecology observation device. Background Art

[0002] Observing animal habitats is a significant scientific activity. Through scientific observation and research methods, we can gain a deeper understanding of animals' habits and behavioral patterns, as well as their survival needs and environmental adaptability. This information not only helps us develop more effective ecological conservation measures to maintain biodiversity, but also increases public awareness and participation in ecological conservation.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent publication number CN217308698U provides an animal observation and breeding box for scientific research, which includes a closed observation mechanism, a bottom cleaning mechanism, and a top temperature control mechanism. The top of this breeding box is sealed by a top cover that cooperates with the surrounding glass walls. When accessing the small animals housed inside, the top cover can be opened directly with a snap, making it easy to remove the small animals. Another example is Chinese patent publication number CN206196619U, which provides an animal breeding cage that is easy to observe. This breeding cage can keep the animals warm and is easy to clean, providing a good living environment for the animals and ensuring a high survival rate. The breeding cage also has the advantages of being sturdy, easy to transport, and low cost.

[0004] However, in the process of using current ecological observation devices to feed animals, it was found that most of the existing animal survival ecological observation devices can only observe the partially exposed body of the animal. It is inconvenient to lift the animal anytime and anywhere during the feeding process to observe it from all angles, resulting in an increase in blind spots for observation. If all-round observation is required, the animal must be taken out as a whole, which increases the workload of the staff. Summary of the Invention

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, a clamping frame is provided on one side of the mounting sleeve, and a plurality of fixing holes are provided at intervals on the edge of the lifting frame. The clamping frame is clamped on the edge of the lifting frame, and a fixing bolt is screwed on the clamping frame, and the fixing bolt is passed through one of the fixing holes.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the tensioning mechanism includes:

[0018] A mounting seat, arranged on the mounting sleeve;

[0019] a reel, rotatably disposed on the mounting seat along its axis, with the end of the receiving rope wound around the reel; and

[0020] The coil spring is arranged in the mounting seat, and one end of the coil spring is fixedly connected to the mounting seat, and the other end of the coil spring is fixedly connected to the mounting shaft of the winding wheel.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, a first mounting bracket and a second mounting bracket are respectively provided at both ends of the support rod, and a rotatable first pulley and a second pulley are respectively provided in the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket, and the end of the receiving rope is sequentially passed around the second pulley and the first pulley and connected to the winding wheel.

Compared with traditional animal survival ecological observation devices, this device lifts the animals for observation, minimizes blind spots as much as possible, and does not require the animals to be taken out for all-round observation, thereby improving the accuracy and convenience of animal experiments and effectively reducing the workload of staff.

[0041] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present invention and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the above application content.

[0042] Example:

[0043] like Figure 1 、 2As shown in Figure 3, the present invention provides an animal survival ecology observation device, including a base 101, a transparent breeding cabin 103 is provided on the base 101, simulated soil 107 is provided in the breeding cabin 103, a lifting frame 202 is provided in the breeding cabin 103, and a driving component for driving the lifting frame 202 to rise and fall is provided on the breeding cabin 103. The driving component includes a support frame 105 provided on the breeding cabin 103, and a telescopic rod 201 connected to the lifting frame 202 is provided on the support frame 105.

[0044] Animals can be placed in the breeding cabin 103 for feeding, and different living environments can be simulated by using the simulated soil 107. During use, the lifting frame 202 can be moved upward and downward within the breeding cabin 103 by controlling the extension and contraction of the telescopic rod 201. The telescopic rod 201 can be electrically or hydraulically controlled, depending on the needs. A connecting frame 104 is provided on the breeding cabin 103, and the end of the support frame 105 is inserted into the connecting frame 104. The support frame 105 is also provided with a stopper 106 that abuts against the connecting frame 104. After the support frame 105 is completely disassembled, the simulated soil 107 can be cleaned and replaced, and then the support frame 105 can be directly inserted into the connecting frame 104, and the stopper 106 abuts against the connecting frame 104 to support the support frame 105.

[0045] like Figure 1 、 5 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple groups of mounting sleeves 301 are provided on the peripheral side of the lifting frame 202, and support rods 401 are slidably inserted into the multiple groups of mounting sleeves 301. The ends of the support rods 401 are in contact with the simulated soil 107. There are also multiple groups of receiving ropes 405. The multiple groups of receiving ropes 405 are staggered to form a grid for receiving animals. The grid is in contact with the simulated soil 107. The two ends of the receiving ropes 405 are respectively inserted into two groups of support rods 401 and extend outward.

[0046] During the feeding process, after the lifting frame 202 is controlled to descend by the telescopic rod 201, the support rod 401 slides on the mounting sleeve 301 by abutting against the simulated soil 107, so that the ends of multiple groups of support rods 401 abut against the irregular surface of the simulated soil 107, so that multiple groups of receiving ropes 405 are laid on the surface of the simulated soil 107 and fit therewith, which will not affect the normal movement and survival of the animals.

[0047] like Figure 1 、 5As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in this embodiment, a tensioning mechanism connected to the end of the receiving rope 405 is provided on the mounting sleeve 301, and the receiving rope 405 is elastically reeled by the tensioning mechanism. The tensioning mechanism includes a mounting seat 304 provided on the mounting sleeve 301, and a reel 305 rotatably provided on the mounting seat 304 along its axis. The end of the receiving rope 405 is wound around the reel 305. A coil spring 306 is provided within the mounting seat 304, and one end of the coil spring 306 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 304, and the other end is fixedly connected to the mounting shaft of the reel 305.

[0048] By controlling the lifting frame 202 to descend, the multiple sets of support rods 401 respectively contact the irregular surfaces of the simulated soil 107, driving the support rods 401 to slide within the mounting sleeve 301. During the sliding process, the support rods 401 pull the receiving ropes 405 and drive the reel 305 to rotate, causing the coil spring 306 to deform, so that the multiple sets of receiving ropes 405 can all contact the simulated soil 107, forming an irregular mesh surface and keeping the receiving ropes 405 in a tensioned state. By controlling the lifting frame 202 to ascend, the multiple sets of mounting sleeves 301 can be raised, and the reel spring 306 can be used to reverse the reel 305 to rewind the ends of the multiple sets of receiving ropes 405 until the multiple sets of receiving ropes 405 form a flat grid, thereby lifting the animal and facilitating all-round observation of the animal.

[0049] like Figure 3 、 5 As shown in Figure 6, in this embodiment, a clamping frame 302 is provided on one side of the mounting sleeve 301, and multiple groups of fixing holes 203 are provided at intervals on the edge of the lifting frame 202. The clamping frame 302 is clamped on the edge of the lifting frame 202, and a fixing bolt 303 is screwed on the clamping frame 302, and the fixing bolt 303 is passed through one of the groups of fixing holes 203.

[0050] The mounting sleeve 301 is fixed on the lifting frame 202 by the cooperation of the fixing bolt 303 and the fixing hole 203, so as to facilitate the loading and unloading of the mounting sleeve 301, thereby facilitating the selection of different numbers of mounting sleeves 301 and receiving ropes 405 for use in combination according to the size of the animal, so that multiple groups of receiving ropes 405 form grids with different apertures to facilitate supporting animals of different sizes.

[0051] like Figure 5 、 6As shown, in this embodiment, a first mounting bracket 402 and a second mounting bracket 406 are respectively provided at both ends of the support rod 401. A rotatable first pulley 403 and a rotatable second pulley 407 are respectively provided in the first mounting bracket 402 and the second mounting bracket 406. The end of the receiving rope 405 passes through the second pulley 407 and the first pulley 403 in sequence and is connected to the winding wheel 305. The provision of the first pulley 403 and the second pulley 407 reduces the friction force on the receiving rope 405 during movement, thereby increasing the service life of the receiving rope 405.

[0052] like Figure 1 、 3 As shown in Figures 4 and 5, in this embodiment, the first pulley 403 is mounted on the first mounting frame 402 via a rotating shaft 404. A lift frame 501 that can be raised and lowered is also provided in the breeding cabin 103. The edge of the lift frame 501 is provided with multiple sets of lifting hooks 503. When the lift frame 501 rises, the lifting hooks 503 can contact the rotating shaft 404. The lift frame 501 is also provided with a pull ring 504. A first through-slot 204 is defined in the lifting frame 202, and a second through-slot 502 is defined in the lifting frame 501. A receiving shell 205 and / or a protective net 206 are hingedly connected in the first through-slot 204. The edges of the receiving shell 205 and the protective net 206 overlap the lifting frame 202.

[0053] During the animal feeding process, the breeding cabin 103 can be ventilated through the protective net 206. Alternatively, the protective net 206 and the receiving shell 205 can be opened to place the animals in or feed them. After the lifting frame 202 is raised and the animals are lifted, the lifting frame 501 can be raised by pulling the pull ring 504. During the raising process, the lifting frame 501 can control the multiple sets of first pulleys 403 to rise through the contact between the multiple sets of lifting hooks 503 and the rotating shaft 404, thereby driving the multiple sets of support rods 401 to rise. During the raising process, the support rods 401 drive the grid formed by the multiple sets of receiving ropes 405 to rise, thereby further lifting the animals.

[0054] When the animal is lifted to the point where it is about to come into contact with the receiving shell 205 or the protective net 206, the receiving shell 205 or the protective net 206 can be opened and the animal can be driven onto an unopened set of receiving shells 205 or protective nets 206, thereby making it easier to take the animal out and place it in the breeding cabin 103, thereby preventing the animal from falling and being injured when being placed in the breeding cabin. The animal can be safely taken in and placed without the use of other tools.

[0055] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the breeding cabin 103 is rotatably mounted on a base 101. A drive motor 102 is installed within the base 101 to drive the breeding cabin 103. After the animal is lifted, the breeding cabin 103 can be rotated by the drive motor 102, facilitating a more comprehensive observation of the animal. This eliminates the need for staff to walk around the animal, further reducing their workload.

[0056] Specific usage and beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0057] When in use, the device places the animals on the simulated soil 107 in the breeding cabin 103 for feeding. The simulated soil 107 simulates the living environment of the animals. During the feeding process, the ends of multiple groups of support rods 401 are in contact with the surface of the simulated soil 107, so that the grid formed by multiple groups of receiving ropes 405 is arranged on the irregular surface of the simulated soil 107 without affecting the normal life of the animals. The telescopic rod 201 can be controlled to retract to drive the lifting frame 202 to rise. During the rising process, the lifting frame 202 drives multiple sets of mounting sleeves 301 to rise synchronously. At the same time, the winding wheel 305 is driven to reverse through the coil spring 306 to tension the ends of multiple sets of receiving ropes 405, so that multiple sets of support rods 401 slide at the same time until the support rods 401 slide to the lowest position, so that the grid formed by the multiple sets of receiving ropes 405 is arranged in a plane to support the animal, and then lift the animal as a whole upward to facilitate all-round observation of the animal. Compared with traditional animal survival ecological observation devices, this device lifts the animal for observation, reduces blind spots as much as possible, and does not need to take the animal out for all-round observation, thereby improving the accuracy and convenience of animal experiments and effectively reducing the workload of staff.

[0058] The basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention are shown and described above. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above. Modifications and improvements may be made based on the present invention, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, such modifications and improvements, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, are intended to fall within the scope of protection claimed in the present invention.
