[0019] S4: Observe and record the animal's reaction, the injury condition of the craniocerebrum, and the behavioral changes;

[0020] S5: Statistically analyze the collected data to evaluate the influence of the sharpness of the impact object and different center of gravity positions of the impact head on craniocerebral injury.

[0021] The technical solution provided by the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0022] In the above solution, when it is necessary to impact the head of an experimental animal, the experimental animal is placed on the platform. The hardness of the impact head is adjusted through the first adjustment component, facilitating the simulation of impact objects with different sharpness levels. When the hardness of the impact head is adjusted to an appropriate level, the first adjustment component is adjusted and locked in terms of angle through the locking component, facilitating the staff to adjust the impact angle of the impact head according to the experimental requirements. Subsequently, the second adjustment component is squeezed through the squeezing component, enabling the second adjustment component to adjust the center of gravity of the impact head. After the adjustment is completed, the falling component is moved to make the hollow column impact the head of the experimental animal, thereby improving the practicality of the device;

[0023] When it is necessary to impact the cranium of an experimental animal with different impact heads, the circular ring plate is rotated. The circular ring plate drives the first impact block, the second impact block, the third impact block, and the fourth impact block to rotate simultaneously. By means of the different sharpness levels at the tips of the first impact block, the second impact block, the third impact block, and the fourth impact block, impact objects with different sharpness levels can be simulated. One of the impact heads of the first impact block, the second impact block, the third impact block, and the fourth impact block is aligned with the head of the experimental animal, ensuring that the contact area and impact force distribution between the first impact block, the second impact block, the third impact block, and the fourth impact block and the animal's head during impact are uniform, avoiding errors caused by different shapes, and ensuring that the impact forces generated by the first impact block, the second impact block, the third impact block, and the fourth impact block with different sharpness levels are consistent under the same conditions, achieving the control of different impact effects produced by impacting the head of the experimental animal with impact heads of different sharpness;

[0024] When it is necessary to lock the circular ring plate, the handle is pulled. The handle drives the sliding block to slide, and the first spring is compressed. The sliding block drives the connecting plate and the plug, causing the plug to leave the slot. Subsequently, the circular ring plate is rotated. The circular ring plate drives the first impact block, the second impact block, the third impact block, and the fourth impact block to rotate. When the angle of one of the impact heads is rotated to a position suitable for impacting the head of the experimental animal, the handle is released. The first spring rebounds, and the sliding block drives the connecting plate and the plug, causing the plug to insert into the corresponding slot, restricting the circular ring plate and the first impact block, the second impact block, the third impact block, and the fourth impact block. The staff can adjust the impact angles of the first impact block, the second impact block, the third impact block, and the fourth impact block according to the experimental requirements to test the injury degrees of different experimental animals, ensuring that there are no errors caused by angle changes during the impact process;

[0025] When it is necessary to adjust the center of gravity of the hollow column, one of the four regions in the airbag is squeezed through the squeezing component. The liquid in the squeezed region enters the other three regions through the through holes. The region directly opposite the squeezed region receives the most liquid flowing in, causing the center of gravity of the hollow column to shift to the region with the most liquid, facilitating the testing of different injury effects on the cranium by adjusting the shift of the center of gravity of the impact head.

[0046] As Figures 1 to 11 shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a device for constructing an animal model of traumatic brain injury, including a bottom plate 101, a platform 102 is fixedly connected to the top end of the bottom plate 101, side plates 103 are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the bottom plate 101, top plates 104 are fixedly connected to the top ends of the two side plates 103, a hollow column 105 is provided on the top plate 104, a first adjustment assembly for adjusting the hardness is provided on the hollow column 105, a locking assembly for locking the first adjustment assembly is provided on the hollow column 105, a second adjustment assembly for adjusting the center of gravity is provided on the hollow column 105, a pressing assembly is provided on the hollow column 105, and a retracting assembly and a dropping assembly for retracting and dropping the hollow column 105 are provided on the top plate 104.

[0047] When it is necessary to impact the head of an experimental animal, place the experimental animal on the platform 102, adjust the hardness of the impact head through the first adjustment component, so as to simulate impact objects with different sharpness levels. When the hardness of the impact head is adjusted to an appropriate level, adjust and lock the angle of the first adjustment component through the locking component, which is convenient for the staff to adjust the impact angle of the impact head according to the experimental requirements. Subsequently, squeeze the second adjustment component through the squeezing component, so that the second adjustment component adjusts the center of gravity of the impact head. After the adjustment is completed, move the falling component so that the hollow column 105 impacts the head of the experimental animal, thereby improving the practicability of the device.

[0048] As Figures 3 to 5 shown, the first adjustment component includes a circular ring plate 201. A rotation groove 202 is formed on the hollow column 105. The circular ring plate 201 is rotatably connected in the rotation groove 202. The outer surface of the circular ring plate 201 is fixedly connected with a first impact block 203, a second impact block 204, a third impact block 205 and a fourth impact block 206. The sharpness levels of the tips of the first impact block 203, the second impact block 204, the third impact block 205 and the fourth impact block 206 are different. The first impact block 203 is directly below the circular ring plate 201.

[0049] When it is necessary to impact the skull of an experimental animal with different impact heads, rotate the circular ring plate 201. The circular ring plate 201 drives the first impact block 203, the second impact block 204, the third impact block 205 and the fourth impact block 206 to rotate simultaneously. Through the different sharpness levels of the tips of the first impact block 203, the second impact block 204, the third impact block 205 and the fourth impact block 206, impact objects with different sharpness levels can be simulated, so that one of the first impact block 203, the second impact block 204, the third impact block 205 and the fourth impact block 206 is directly opposite to the head of the experimental animal, ensuring that the contact area and impact force distribution between the first impact block 203, the second impact block 204, the third impact block 205 and the fourth impact block 206 and the animal's head during impact are uniform, avoiding errors caused by different shapes, and ensuring that the impact forces generated by the first impact block 203, the second impact block 204, the third impact block 205 and the fourth impact block 206 with different sharpness levels are consistent under the same conditions, so as to achieve the control of different impact effects when different sharp impact heads impact the head of the experimental animal.

[0050] As Figure 6As shown, the locking component includes a rectangular sleeve 207, the rectangular sleeve 207 is fixedly connected to the front end of the hollow column 105, a sliding block 208 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular sleeve 207, a first spring 209 is fixedly connected between the inner wall of the rectangular sleeve 207 and the sliding block 208, a handle 210 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding block 208, the handle 210 slidably penetrates through one end of the rectangular sleeve 207, a connecting plate 211 is fixedly connected to the top end of the sliding block 208, the connecting plate 211 slidably penetrates through the top end of the rectangular sleeve 207, a latch 212 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the connecting plate 211, the latch 212 slidably penetrates through the front end of the hollow column 105, and a plurality of slots 213 which cooperate with the latch 212 are formed in the circular ring plate 201, and the plurality of slots 213 are arranged in a circumferential manner.

[0051] When it is necessary to lock the circular ring plate 201, pull the handle 210, the handle 210 drives the sliding block 208 to slide, the first spring 209 is compressed, the sliding block 208 drives the connecting plate 211 and the latch 212, so that the latch 212 leaves the slot 213. Subsequently, rotate the circular ring plate 201, the circular ring plate 201 drives the first impact block 203, the second impact block 204, the third impact block 205 and the fourth impact block 206 to rotate. When the angle of one of the impact heads is rotated to a position suitable for impacting the head of the experimental animal, release the handle 210, the first spring 209 rebounds, the sliding block 208 drives the connecting plate 211 and the latch 212, so that the latch 212 is inserted into the corresponding slot 213 to limit the circular ring plate 201 and the first impact block 203, the second impact block 204, the third impact block 205 and the fourth impact block 206. The staff can adjust the impact angles of the first impact block 203, the second impact block 204, the third impact block 205 and the fourth impact block 206 according to the experimental requirements to test the injury degrees of different experimental animals and ensure that there will be no errors caused by angle changes during the impact process.

[0052] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the second adjustment component includes a solid column 214, the solid column 214 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow column 105, an airbag 215 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow column 105, the airbag 215 is located outside the solid column 214, four partition plates 216 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the airbag 215, a first area 217, a second area 218, a third area 219 and a fourth area 220 are arranged in the airbag 215 through the partition plates 216, the first area 217 is located directly below the solid column 214, through holes 221 are formed in all four partition plates 216, and the first area 217, the second area 218, the third area 219 and the fourth area 220 are communicated through the through holes 221.

[0053] When it is necessary to adjust the center of gravity of the hollow column 105, one of the four regions in the airbag 215 is squeezed by the squeezing assembly, and the liquid in the squeezed region enters the other three regions through the through holes 221. The region directly opposite the squeezed region receives the most liquid, causing the center of gravity of the hollow column 105 to shift to the region with the most liquid, facilitating the testing of different damage effects on the brain by adjusting the shift of the center of gravity of the impact head.

[0054] As Figure 9 shown, the squeezing assembly includes a connecting shaft 222 which is rotatably connected to the middle of the solid column 214. The outer surface of the connecting shaft 222 is fixedly connected with a top block 223. A circular groove 224 is opened in the middle of the solid column 214. The top block 223 is rotatably connected in the circular groove 224. Four push rods 225 are slidably connected to the solid column 214. One side of each of the four push rods 225 away from the connecting shaft 222 is fixedly connected with an arc-shaped plate 226. The front end of the connecting shaft 222 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 227. The connecting rod 227 rotatably penetrates through the front end of the hollow column 105. The front end of the connecting rod 227 is fixedly connected with a knob 228.

[0055] When it is necessary to squeeze the airbag 215, turn the knob 228. The knob 228 drives the connecting rod 227 and the connecting shaft 222 to rotate. The connecting shaft 222 drives the top block 223 to rotate. When the top block 223 rotates to contact one of the push rods 225, the top block 223 can push the push rod 225 to move outwards. The push rod 225 drives the arc-shaped plate 226 to squeeze one of the first region 217, the second region 218, the third region 219 and the fourth region 220. The liquid in the squeezed region enters the other three regions through the through holes 221. The region directly opposite the squeezed region receives the most liquid, causing the center of gravity of the hollow column 105 to shift to the region with the most liquid, facilitating the testing of different damage effects on the brain by adjusting the shift of the center of gravity of the impact head.

[0056] As Figure 10 shown, a first gear 229 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the connecting rod 227. The rear end of the first gear 229 is fixedly connected with a first magnet 230. A circular block 231 is fixedly connected to the front end of the hollow column 105. A tooth groove 232 that cooperates with the first gear 229 is opened in the circular block 231. A second magnet 233 is fixedly connected to the circular block 231.

[0057] When it is necessary to lock the top block 223, turn the knob 228. The knob 228 drives the connecting rod 227 and the connecting shaft 222 to rotate. The connecting shaft 222 drives the top block 223 to rotate to adjust the center of gravity of the hollow column 105. After the adjustment is completed, slide the first gear 229. The first gear 229 drives the first magnet 230 to slide. Slide the first gear 229 into the tooth groove 232, and attract the first magnet 230 through the second magnet 233 to restrict the first gear 229 and prevent the connecting rod 227 and the connecting shaft 222 from rotating randomly.

[0058] As Figure 1 and Figure 11 shown, the retracting assembly includes four slide rods 234. The four slide rods 234 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hollow column 105. The tops of the four slide rods 234 are fixedly connected to the same rectangular plate 235. A rack plate 236 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of one of the slide rods 234. The rack plate 236 and the four slide rods 234 slide through the top plate 104. A moving plate 237 is slidably connected to the top of the top plate 104. A fixing plate 238 is fixedly connected to the top of the moving plate 237. A motor 239 is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixing plate 238. The output end of the motor 239 is fixedly connected to a second gear 240. The second gear 240 meshes with the rack plate 236.

[0059] When the device is used up and the hollow column 105 needs to be retracted, the second gear 240 is engaged with the rack plate 236 through the falling assembly. Subsequently, start the motor 239. The output end of the motor 239 drives the second gear 240 to rotate. The second gear 240 drives the rack plate 236 to move upward. The rack plate 236 drives one of the rack plates 236 and the rectangular plate 235 to move. The rectangular plate 235 drives the other three slide rods 234 to move. The four slide rods 234 simultaneously drive the hollow column 105 to move upward to retract the hollow column 105, facilitating the next use of the hollow column 105.

[0060] As Figure 11 shown, the falling assembly includes a positioning plate 241. The positioning plate 241 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 104. Two second springs 242 are fixedly connected between the right side of the positioning plate 241 and the moving plate 237. The second springs 242 are in a stretched state. A T-shaped plate 243 is slidably connected to the top of the top plate 104. A limiting groove 244 that cooperates with the T-shaped plate 243 is formed in the moving plate 237.

[0061] When the hollow column 105 needs to fall, pull the T-shaped plate 243, pull the T-shaped plate 243 out of the limit groove 244, the second spring 242 rebounds, drives the moving plate 237 to move towards the positioning plate 241, the moving plate 237 drives the motor 239 and the second gear 240 to move, so that the second gear 240 is not in contact with the rack plate 236. When the second gear 240 is not meshed with the rack plate 236, under the action of gravity, the hollow column 105 moves downward rapidly to impact the head of the experimental animal, which is convenient for simulating brain injuries caused by external forces such as falling and impact in reality.

[0062] As Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, two T-shaped sliders 245 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ring plate 201, and T-shaped sliding grooves 246 cooperating with the T-shaped sliders 245 are formed on the hollow column 105.

[0063] By providing the T-shaped sliders 245 and the T-shaped sliding grooves 246, when the ring plate 201 rotates, the ring plate 201 will drive the T-shaped sliders 245 to slide in the T-shaped sliding grooves 246. The T-shaped sliding grooves 246 can play a role in limiting and guiding the T-shaped sliders 245 and the ring plate 201, thereby improving the stability of the ring plate 201 during rotation.

[0064] The working process of the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0065] During use, place the experimental animal on the platform 102, pull the handle 210, the handle 210 drives the sliding block 208 to slide, the first spring 209 is compressed, the sliding block 208 drives the connecting plate 211 and the plug 212, so that the plug 212 leaves the slot 213, rotate the ring plate 201, the ring plate 201 drives the first impact block 203, the second impact block 204, the third impact block 205 and the fourth impact block 206 to rotate simultaneously, so that one of the impact heads is facing the head of the experimental animal, release the handle 210, the first spring 209 rebounds, the sliding block 208 drives the connecting plate 211 and the plug 212, so that the plug 212 is inserted into the slot 213 to limit the ring plate 201 and the impact head. Turn the knob 228, the knob 228 drives the connecting rod 227 and the connecting shaft 222 to rotate, the connecting shaft 222 drives the top block 223 to rotate. When the top block 223 rotates to contact one of the push rods 225, the top block 223 can push the push rod 225 to move outward, the push rod 225 drives the arc plate 226 to squeeze one of the first area 217, the second area 218, the third area 219 and the fourth area 220. The liquid in the squeezed area enters the other three areas through the through hole 221. The area facing the squeezed area receives the most liquid flowing in, so that the center of gravity of the hollow column 105 shifts to the area with the most liquid, which is convenient for testing different injury effects on the brain by adjusting the center of gravity shift of the impact head.

[0066] After that, slide the first gear 229. The first gear 229 drives the first magnet 230 to slide. Slide the first gear 229 into the tooth groove 232, and attract the first magnet 230 through the second magnet 233 to restrict the first gear 229, preventing the connecting rod 227 and the connecting shaft 222 from rotating randomly. Pull the T-shaped plate 243 and pull the T-shaped plate 243 out of the limit groove 244. The second spring 242 rebounds, driving the moving plate 237 to move towards the positioning plate 241. The moving plate 237 drives the motor 239 and the second gear 240 to move, so that the second gear 240 is not in contact with the rack plate 236. When the second gear 240 is not meshed with the rack plate 236, under the action of gravity, the hollow column 105 drives the impact head to move downward rapidly to impact the head of the experimental animal. After the impact is completed, move the falling component to make the second gear 240 mesh with the rack plate 236. Subsequently, start the motor 239. The output end of the motor 239 drives the second gear 240 to rotate. The second gear 240 drives the rack plate 236 to move upward. The rack plate 236 drives one of the rack plates 236 and the rectangular plate 235 to move. The rectangular plate 235 drives the other three sliding rods 234 to move. The four sliding rods 234 simultaneously drive the hollow column 105 to move upward to retract the hollow column 105, facilitating the next impact of the impact head.
