Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal feed recovery, in particular to a portable animal surplus feed recovery device for experiments. Background Art

[0002] Mouse experiments have a wide range of applications in the field of scientific research. Through mouse experiments, scientists can obtain a large amount of experimental data in a relatively short period of time. In mouse experiments, the recovery of leftover feed plays a vital role. It is not only a guarantee of the cleanliness and hygiene of the experimental environment, the accuracy of experimental data, the welfare and ethics of experimental animals, but also the key to the efficient use of resources.

[0003] In mouse experiments, feed residues often occur in the feeding trough. The residual feed is easy to breed bacteria and cause waste of resources. Traditional experimental feed recovery devices usually use tools such as small flat-bottomed shovels to recover the feed in the feeding trough. This method is laborious and inefficient. There is now a recovery device that drives the cotton cloth strip to move through a motor to push out the residual feed in the feeding trough, thereby improving the recovery efficiency. However, when the feeding trough contains residual feed, the feed in contact with the inner wall will stick to it due to its high water content. After using the ordinary recovery device, the experimenter still needs to deal with the stuck feed. In actual use, the treatment is not comprehensive enough and the recovery is not efficient enough. Therefore, the experimental feed recovery device in the prior art is still inconvenient, and there is room for improvement in improving the comprehensiveness of recovery and the convenience of use for experimenters.

[0018] Optionally, the material of the feeding port is acrylic, and the size of the feeding port is adapted to the size of the feed tray.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The present invention cooperates with structures such as a toothed disc, a residual gear and a sleeve. Firstly, through the flipping process of the feed disc, during the feed recovery work, the feed disc itself is used to seal the feeding area at the position of the feed disc in the experimental box, and the experimental mice in the experimental box will not interfere with the recovery work. Secondly, through the self-rotation of the cleaning rod, the feed adhered to the inner wall of the feed disc can be removed, and the removed feed falls into the storage box under the factor of gravity, completing the full collection of residual feed, so that the feed recovery is more comprehensive.

[0021] Second, under the condition of its own weight, the present invention first recovers a portion of the drier feed that is easier to handle, so that the subsequent cleaning rod is more convenient to handle. Compared with some traditional methods, the residual feed is uniformly shoveled. After this method is operated, the feed with a high water content and easy to stick in the feed tray will no longer contact the inner wall of the storage box, and the feed that is easy to stick will be located above the recovery area in the storage box. After the subsequent experimenter takes out the storage box, he can directly dump it, which is more convenient and does not need to use an auxiliary hand to perform auxiliary work such as patting due to adhesion, so that the convenience is further improved.

[0022] 3. The cleaning rod and the feed tray of the present invention are in contact when they are deflected by 90°. In the subsequent 90° deflection path, the feed adhered to the inner wall of the feed tray will be scraped directly, which is highly efficient. After the feed tray is deflected by 90°, it is in an intermittent stop state. Since the cleaning rod will continue to perform a circular motion, it will scrape the feed tray again until the feed tray is deflected by 90° again and the opening is facing upward to complete the reset, that is, one feed recovery work. The cleaning rod will perform two scraping operations on the adhered feed, so the quality of feed recovery will also be guaranteed, and the experimenter does not need to do more operations, which is convenient for improving the efficiency of feed recovery.

[0023] Fourth, the present invention cooperates with the fixed axis, the transmission rod and the connecting transmission sleeve rod, so that the cleaning rod can also move back and forth in the axial direction. After it contacts the adhered feed, the cleaning rod can shake to make the cleaning rod scrape the feed more smoothly, and the adhered feed can be scraped off more easily, which further facilitates the recovery of feed and ensures the comprehensiveness and efficiency of recovery.

[0024] At the same time, when the feed tray stops intermittently, the cleaning rod will continue to move. Therefore, on the semicircular trajectory where the cleaning rod does not contact the sticky feed, the cleaning rod in the axial reciprocating movement process can also shake off the feed that may be contaminated on its surface, achieving the effect of self-cleaning and comprehensive recovery.

[0025] Fifth, the present invention cooperates with the limit shaft, the vibration spring and the connecting shaft to make the feed pan assist the natural falling of the unadhered feed by vibration when pouring the feed pan, and the bonded feed can be scraped off more easily by the cleaning rod through vibration when the feed pan is poured and the cleaning rod is scraping off the bonded feed;

[0026] At the same time, when the feed tray is dumped, since it is in a state of circular rotation and the position of the knocking block remains unchanged, the vibration source received by the feed tray will change with the rotation, which can further improve the actual effect of dumping clean feed, and the part in contact with the sticky feed can also easily fall into the storage box, which further improves the convenience of use for experimenters.

[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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.

[0039] For example, see Figures 1 to 11The present invention provides a portable animal surplus feed recovery device for experiments, including an experimental box 1, two parts boxes 2 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the experimental box 1, a feed tray 3 is arranged between the two parts boxes 2, a cleaning rod 4 is arranged in the feed tray 3, an opening for placing a storage box 5 is opened on the inner wall of the experimental box 1, a feeding port 6 is opened on the surface of the experimental box 1, a partition plate 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the experimental box 1, and processing components are arranged in the two parts boxes 2.

[0040] The processing components include a connecting shaft 8, a recovery component, an auxiliary component, two groups of vibration components and a driving component. Two inclined grooves 9 are provided on the inner wall of the parts box 2. Both ends of the connecting shaft 8 are slidingly connected to the groove walls of the two inclined grooves 9 respectively. The auxiliary component is transmission-connected to the recovery component, and the two groups of vibration components are transmission-connected to the auxiliary component.

[0041] Among them, the recycled parts include:

[0042] Axle body 10 and shaft body 2 11, shaft body 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the parts box 2, the inner wall of shaft body 10 is provided with a through hole for shaft body 2 11 to pass through, the shaft wall of shaft body 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the feed plate 3, and the shaft wall of shaft body 2 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the cleaning rod 4.

[0043] A drive shaft 12, the shaft wall of the drive shaft 12 is fixedly connected with a toothed disc 13, the top surface of the toothed disc 13 is fixedly connected with a circular ring 14, the surface of the circular ring 14 is provided with a tooth groove 15, the shaft wall of the shaft body 10 is fixedly connected with a residual gear 16, the teeth of the residual gear 16 are intermittently meshed with the teeth of the tooth groove 15, the surface of the residual gear 16 is fixedly connected with two deflection shafts 17, the top surface of the toothed disc 13 is fixedly connected with an elastic sheet 18, the inner wall of the parts box 2 is rotatably connected with a sleeve 19, the shaft body 2 11 is spline-slidably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve 19, the surface of the sleeve 19 is fixedly connected with a gear 20, and the teeth of the gear 20 are meshed with the teeth of the toothed disc 13.

[0044] The driving component includes a motor 38 , an output end of the motor 38 is fixedly connected to the end of the driving shaft 12 , and the motor 38 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the parts box 2 .

[0045] The feed tray 3 is located above the storage box 5. The size of the feed tray 3 is adapted to the size of the storage box 5. The inner wall of the storage box 5 is coated with an antibacterial coating. The size of the remaining gear 16 is adapted to the size of the ring 14. The size of the remaining gear 16 is adapted to the size of the gear 20. The material of the feeding port 6 is acrylic material. The size of the feeding port 6 is adapted to the size of the feed tray 3.

[0046] In this embodiment, the experimental mice are stored in the experimental box 1. By opening the feeding port 6 made of acrylic material, feed is put into the feed tray 3. The mice can take food from the feed tray 3 when they are hungry. When the feed in the feed tray 3 contains surplus, in order to ensure the freshness of the feed, the motor 38 can be started to recycle the surplus feed in the feed tray 3. When the motor 38 is driven, the drive shaft 12 is driven to rotate. Through the rotation of the drive shaft 12, the toothed disc 13 can rotate with the drive shaft 12 as the axis. During the rotation of the toothed disc 13, the ring 14 arranged thereon The tooth groove 15 synchronously performs circumferential displacement. During the circumferential rotation of the tooth groove 15 and the ring 14, the tooth groove 15 will move to the teeth of the residual gear 16. At the same time, the elastic sheet 18 on the toothed disk 13 synchronously performs circumferential displacement to contact the deflection shaft 17. At this time, as the toothed disk 13 continues to rotate, the arc edge of the residual gear 16 is separated from the ring 14. At the same time, the deflection shaft 17 is pushed by the elastic sheet 18, so that the residual gear 16 is driven to rotate, and its teeth begin to mesh with the tooth groove 15. As the toothed disk 13 continues to rotate, when the residual gear 16 rotates 180°, its arc edge is again in contact with the circular ring 14. The ring 14 contacts with the residual gear 16, so that a deflection of the residual gear 16 can be completed. During the self-deflection process of the residual gear 16, the shaft body 10 will be driven to rotate synchronously. In this process, the gear 20 will also rotate when the toothed disc 13 rotates. The sleeve 19 can be rotated through the transmission of the gear 20, and then the shaft body 2 11 can be rotated through the transmission of the sleeve 19, and the self-rotation direction is opposite to that of the shaft body 10. In this way, when the toothed disc 13 rotates, the shaft body 10 and the shaft body 2 11 rotate coaxially in different directions, and the shaft body 10 rotates 180° after the rotation. The cleaning rod 4 and the feeding tray 3 are intermittently stopped, so that the cleaning rod 4 and the feeding tray 3 rotate coaxially but in different directions, and the feeding tray 3 stops intermittently after rotating 180°. Considering that when the feeding tray 3 contains residual feed, not all of the residual feed will adhere to the feeding tray 3, and only the part directly in contact with the inner wall of the feeding tray 3 will be adhered due to the relatively high water content. Through the above method, when recycling is needed, the feeding tray 3 can be turned over, and the feed that is easier to be recycled will fall naturally under the factor of gravity to complete the preliminary collection work, and then the cleaning rod 4 rotates to recycle the adhered feed.

[0047] Through the above process, firstly, through the flipping process of the feed tray 3, during the feed recovery work, the feed tray 3 itself is used to close the feeding area at the position of the feed tray 3 in the experimental box 1, and the experimental mice in the experimental box 1 will not interfere with the recovery work. Secondly, through the rotation of the cleaning rod 4, the feed adhered to the inner wall of the feed tray 3 can be scraped off, and the scraped feed falls into the storage box 5 under the factor of gravity, completing the full collection of the residual feed, making the feed recovery more comprehensive.

[0048] At the same time, this method first recovers a portion of the drier feed that is easier to handle under the condition of its own weight, so that the subsequent cleaning rod 4 is more convenient when processing. Compared with some traditional methods, the residual feed is uniformly shoveled. After this method is operated, the feed with a high water content and easy to stick in the feed tray 3 will no longer contact the inner wall of the storage box 5, and the feed that is easy to stick will be located above the recovery area in the storage box 5. After the subsequent experimenter takes out the storage box 5, he can directly dump it, which is more convenient and does not need to use an auxiliary hand to perform auxiliary work such as patting due to adhesion. It is completely efficient;

[0049] It is also worth noting that Figure 2 It can be seen that the initial position of the cleaning rod 4 is located on the side close to the feeding port 6, that is, away from the position of the mouse. When the mouse is in the eating state, its head area is located at the feeding tray 3, and the body area is located at the position of the partition plate 7. When the feed recovery starts, since the cleaning rod 4 and the feeding tray 3 will be deflected synchronously, if a mouse is eating at this time, the mouse will first feel the deflection of the feeding tray 3, and when it feels the movement of the feeding tray 3, it will retreat to the "safe area" at the partition plate 7 under the animal instinct. At this time, although the initial process of the deflection of the cleaning rod 4 does not contact the feeding tray 3, it will not contact the mouse. Therefore, this measure also ensures that no matter when the mouse is eating or starting the residual feed recovery work, when the cleaning rod 4 starts to deflect, the cleaning rod 4 will not contact the mouse. Therefore, it will not cause harm to the mice. At the same time, when the feed tray 3 and the cleaning rod 4 are deflected synchronously, since the two move synchronously and in opposite directions, it can be seen that the two have been in contact when deflected by 90°. Through the subsequent 90° deflection path, the feed adhered to the inner wall of the feed tray 3 will be directly scraped off, which is more efficient. After the feed tray 3 is deflected by 180°, it is in an intermittent stop state. Since the cleaning rod 4 will also perform a circular motion, the feed tray 3 will be scraped off again until the feed tray 3 is deflected by 180° again and the opening is reset upward, which is a feed recovery work. The cleaning rod 4 will perform two scraping operations on the adhered feed, so the quality of feed recovery will also be guaranteed, and there is no need for the experimenter to do more operations, which is convenient for improving the efficiency of feed recovery.

[0050] Embodiment 2, based on the above embodiment:

[0051] See also Figures 3 to 9The auxiliary components include two fixed shafts 21. A continuous groove 22 is provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 19. The two fixed shafts 21 are slidably connected to the groove wall of the continuous groove 22. The ends of the two fixed shafts 21 are fixedly connected to a transmission rod 1 23. The ends of the two transmission rods 1 23 are fixedly connected to a transmission rod 2 24. The inner wall of the parts box 2 is fixedly connected to two limit rods 25. The two transmission rods 24 are respectively slidably connected to the rod walls of the two limit rods 25. The rod walls of the two limit rods 25 are both sleeved with auxiliary springs 26. The two ends of the two auxiliary springs 26 are respectively fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two transmission rods 24 and the inner wall of the parts box 2. The opposite sides of the two transmission rods 24 are commonly fixedly connected with a connecting transmission sleeve rod 27. The inner wall of the connecting transmission sleeve rod 27 is rotatably connected to the shaft wall of the shaft body 2 11.

[0052] In this embodiment, during the continuous rotation of the sleeve 19, the continuous groove 22 thereon will also be driven to perform circular motion. Through the circular motion of the continuous groove 22, the two fixed shafts 21 can slide along the groove wall of the continuous groove 22. The transmission of a single fixed shaft 21 is described as an example. Similarly, during the sliding of the fixed shaft 21 along the groove wall of the continuous groove 22, the fixed shaft 21 is constrained by the transmission rod 1 23 at the same time. The fixed shaft 21 will move back and forth in the axial direction. Through the axial reciprocating displacement of the fixed shaft 21, the transmission rod 1 23 can be moved back and forth in the axial direction, so that Through the transmission of the transmission rod 1 23, the transmission rod 24 is made to slide back and forth along the rod wall of the limit rod 25. In this process, the auxiliary spring 26 will be deformed. Through the axial reciprocating displacement of the transmission rod 24, the connecting transmission sleeve 27 can be axially reciprocated, so that the shaft body 2 11 can be axially reciprocated. Since the shaft body 2 11 will also rotate, the inner wall of the connecting transmission sleeve 27 will rotate during its rotation. In this way, the cleaning rod 4 can be axially reciprocated during its rotation through the rotation of the shaft body 2 11.

[0053] Through the movement of the cleaning rod 4, after it comes into contact with the adhered feed, the cleaning rod 4 shakes, and the cleaning rod 4 scrapes the feed more smoothly, and the adhered feed will be more easily scraped off, which further facilitates the feed recovery work and ensures the comprehensiveness and efficiency of the recovery.

[0054] At the same time, it can be seen from the figure that on the movement trajectory of the cleaning rod 4, when the feed plate 3 is intermittently stopped, the cleaning rod 4 will continue to move. Therefore, on the semicircular trajectory path where the cleaning rod 4 does not contact the sticky feed, the cleaning rod 4, which is shaking under the axial displacement condition, can also shake off the feed that may be contaminated on its surface, thereby achieving a self-cleaning effect.

[0055] Embodiment 3, based on the above embodiment:

[0056] See also Figures 3 to 11 The vibration component includes a limit shaft 28, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the parts box 2, and a vibration block 29 is slidably connected to the shaft wall of the limit shaft 28. A vibration spring 30 is fixedly connected to the surface of the vibration block 29, and the vibration spring 30 is sleeved on the shaft wall of the limit shaft 28. A triangular block 31 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the vibration block 29. The triangular block 31 and the inner wall of the vibration block 29 are fixedly connected with a mounting spring 32. A cavity 33 is opened in the triangular block 31. The cavity 33 The inner wall is slidably connected with a connecting rod 34, the rod wall of the connecting rod 34 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the vibration block 29, the end of the connecting rod 34 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 35, the connecting shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 35, the end of the vibration block 29 is fixedly connected to the knocking block 36, the surface of the parts box 2 is provided with a gauze 37 adapted to the knocking block 36, the gauze 37 is fitted with the surface of the feed tray 3, and the bottom surface of the transmission rod 24 is fixedly connected to a push-pull frame 39.

[0057] In this embodiment, during the reciprocating movement of the transmission rod 24, it will drive the push-pull frame 39 to move synchronously. When the push-pull frame 39 moves axially, it will first contact the inclined surface of the triangular block 31, so that the subsequent axial displacement of the push-pull frame 39 will push the inclined surface of the triangular block 31, so that the triangular block 31 will compress the mounting spring 32 until the push-pull frame 39 is displaced from the inclined surface of the triangular block 31. At this time, under the elastic action of the mounting spring 32, the triangular block 31 is quickly reset, and its vertical edge contacts the push-pull frame 39. During this process, the connecting shaft 8 does not slide along the groove wall of the inclined groove 9. At the same time, the vertical displacement of the triangular block 31 will cause the connecting rod 34 to slide on the inner wall of the cavity 33. When the push-pull frame 39 is axially reset, since it contacts the vertical edge of the triangular block 31 at this time, the displacement of the push-pull frame 39 will pass through the triangular block 31, pushing the vibration block 29 to move, so that the vibration block 29 slides along the shaft wall of the limit shaft 28. At this time, the vibration spring 30 is compressed, and with the displacement of the vibration block 29, the connecting rod 34 and the connecting block 35 will be displaced synchronously. During the synchronous displacement of the connecting block 35, the connecting shaft 8 will be displaced synchronously, that is, the connecting shaft 8 will slide along the groove wall of the inclined groove 9, so that the connecting rod 34 is pulled by the transmission of the connecting shaft 8, so that the triangular block 31 will slide along the inner wall of the vibration block 29 during the axial reset displacement, compressing the mounting spring 32. When the vertical edge of the triangular block 31 is separated from the push-pull frame 39, the vibration block 29 will be quickly reset under the elastic reset action of the vibration spring 30. In this way, the knocking block 36 can be synchronously displaced axially through the transmission of the above-mentioned vibration block 29. When the vibration block 29 is quickly reset, the knocking block 36 quickly knocks on the mesh 37, that is, knocks on the surface of the feed tray 3 in contact with the mesh 37, so that the feed tray 3 vibrates.

[0058] By the above method, when the feed pan 3 is pouring the unadhered feed, the vibration can provide assistance for the natural falling of the feed, and when the feed pan 3 is poured and the cleaning rod 4 is scraping the adhered feed, the vibration can make it easier for the cleaning rod 4 to scrape the adhered feed.

[0059] At the same time, when the feed tray 3 is dumped, since it is in a state of circular rotation and the position of the knocking block 36 remains unchanged, when the feed tray 3 rotates, the vibration source received by the feed tray 3 will change with the rotation, so that the actual effect of dumping clean feed can be further improved, and the part in contact with the sticky feed can also easily fall into the storage box 5, so that the convenience of use for the experimenter is further improved.

[0060] Working principle: When the portable animal surplus feed recovery device for experiments is used, the experimental mice are placed in the experimental box 1, and feed is put into the feed tray 3 by opening the acrylic material feeding port 6. The mice can take food from the feed tray 3 when they are hungry. When the feed in the feed tray 3 contains surplus, the motor 38 can be started to recover the surplus feed in the feed tray 3. When the motor 38 is driven, the driving shaft 12 is driven to rotate, so that the cleaning rod 4 and the feed tray 3 are rotated in the same axis but in different directions, and the feed tray 3 stops intermittently after rotating 180 degrees, so that the feed that is easier to recover is recovered under the gravity. The cleaning rod 4 will naturally fall under the influence of gravity to complete the preliminary collection work, and then the cleaning rod 4 will rotate to recycle the bonded feed. The shoveled feed will also fall into the storage box 5 under the influence of gravity and fall on the top of the relatively dry feed. During the self-rotation of the cleaning rod 4, it will also perform axial reciprocating displacement, so that after it contacts the bonded feed, the cleaning rod 4 will shake the cleaning rod 4, so that the cleaning rod 4 will scrape the feed more smoothly, and the bonded feed will be easier to scrape off. On the semicircular track path where the cleaning rod 4 does not contact the bonded feed, the cleaning rod 4, which is shaking under the condition of axial displacement, can also shake off the feed that may be contaminated on its surface;

[0061] During the process of feed recovery, the feed tray 3 will also vibrate. When the feed tray 3 is pouring out the unadhered feed, the vibration can assist the natural falling of the feed. When the feed tray 3 is poured out and the cleaning rod 4 is scraping off the adhered feed, the vibration can make it easier for the cleaning rod 4 to scrape off the adhered feed, until all the remaining feed is recovered. The subsequent experimenter can directly pour it out after taking out the storage box 5.

[0062] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
