Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of rat cage technology, specifically a multi-scenario rat and mouse breeding cage. Background Technology

[0002] Mice are typically used as experimental subjects. These mice need cages as their housing during experiments. Currently, in many cases, we need to raise each mouse individually, such as to prevent mice from scratching each other after the dressing is fixed, to record the amount of food and water consumed by each mouse, and to raise and observe each mouse individually during postoperative recovery. However, using one cage for each mouse would waste a lot of cages. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the existing defects and provide a multi-scenario rat and mouse breeding cage that can directly meet the needs of raising multiple mice individually in one cage. It can raise both rats and mice, and provide them with independent drinking water and food, meeting the needs of various usage scenarios, saving the number of cages used, and effectively solving the problems in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a multi-scenario rat and mouse rearing cage, comprising a cage body mechanism, wherein the cage body mechanism includes a U-shaped enclosure, a vertical through-slot of the enclosure, a detachable baffle, and a vertical through-slot of the baffle. The U-shaped enclosure has vertical through-slots evenly spaced on it. A detachable baffle is installed at the opening on the right end of the U-shaped enclosure. The detachable baffle has vertical through-slots evenly spaced on it. The cage also includes: Ventilation cage base, installed at the bottom of the U-shaped enclosure; A three-dimensional cage top mechanism is installed on top of the U-shaped enclosure; The multi-scenario cage partition mechanism includes hollow horizontal partitions, vertical slots in the horizontal partitions, a complete barrier plate, and longitudinal partition components. Hollow horizontal partitions are installed inside the U-shaped enclosure. Vertical slots in the horizontal partitions are equally spaced on the front and rear sides of the hollow horizontal partitions. The two ends of the hollow horizontal partitions pass through the corresponding enclosure vertical slots and baffle vertical slots, respectively. A complete barrier plate is inserted inside the hollow horizontal partitions, and two longitudinal partition components are installed on the hollow horizontal partitions.

[0005] The U-shaped enclosure and removable baffles form the basic structure of the cage. Vertical channels in the enclosure and baffles improve ventilation and light transmission. The removable baffles are detached from the opening on the right side of the U-shaped enclosure, facilitating the installation of multi-scene internal partition mechanisms within the U-shaped enclosure. The three-dimensional cage top mechanism seals the top of the cage, while the ventilation cage seat seals the bottom, improving ventilation at the bottom and helping to maintain dryness and cleanliness inside the cage. Hollow horizontal partitions divide the cage into front and rear sections. The vertical channels in the hollow horizontal partitions further enhance ventilation. The hollow design of the partitions allows for better ventilation between the front and rear sections. Increased spacing between sections prevents mice in the front and rear halves of the cage from contacting each other. If ventilation is not a concern, the front and rear halves of the cage need to be completely isolated. This can be achieved by inserting a complete barrier plate into the hollow horizontal partition to block the vertical channels of the partition. The longitudinal partition components can further divide the interior of the cage. Two longitudinal partition components, together with the hollow horizontal partition, can divide the interior of the cage into six rearing spaces. Adjusting the front-to-back position of the hollow horizontal partition and the left-to-right position of the longitudinal partition components relative to the hollow horizontal partition can adjust the size of the six rearing spaces to meet the rearing space requirements of mice and rats.

[0006] Furthermore, the multi-scenario cage internal partition mechanism also includes adjusting fixing strips and fixing screws. Two adjusting fixing strips are respectively provided on the top left side of the U-shaped enclosure and the top left side of the disassembly baffle. The top ends of the hollow cross partition are fixedly connected to the two adjusting fixing strips by two fixing screws. The number of screw holes evenly spaced on the adjusting fixing strips can be selected as needed. When adjusting the front-to-back position of the hollow cross partition, loosen the fixing screws, first pull the hollow cross partition out from the right side of the disassembly baffle, then readjust the front-to-back position of the hollow cross partition inserted from the U-shaped enclosure and the disassembly baffle. After re-inserting the hollow cross partition, re-thread the fixing screws into the threaded holes at the top of the corresponding hollow cross partition. The fixing screws secure the adjusting fixing strips and the ends of the hollow cross partition. When the hollow cross partition is positioned forward, the space in front of the hollow cross partition within the cage is smaller, while the space behind the hollow cross partition is larger.

[0007] Furthermore, the longitudinal partition assembly includes a hollow longitudinal partition, longitudinal partition vertical slots, and positioning screws. The hollow longitudinal partition has longitudinal partition vertical slots equidistantly spaced on both its left and right sides. The hollow transverse partition passes through the corresponding longitudinal partition vertical slot on the hollow longitudinal partition. The top of the hollow longitudinal partition is fixedly connected to the top of the hollow transverse partition by positioning screws. The top of the hollow longitudinal partition can have more screw holes for the hollow transverse partition to pass through different longitudinal partition vertical slots. The hollow transverse partition and the two hollow longitudinal partitions divide the U-shaped enclosure into six feeding spaces. Vertical channels in the partitions can improve ventilation in the rearing space. The hollow design of the hollow partitions can increase the distance between adjacent rearing spaces. Even with the vertical channels in the partitions, it can prevent rats in adjacent rearing spaces from coming into contact with each other. If complete isolation is required, a partition similar to a complete barrier can be inserted into the hollow partitions. When the left and right position of the hollow partitions needs to be adjusted, the positioning screws can be loosened, and the hollow partitions can be slid left and right along the hollow transverse partitions. Then, the positioning screws can be tightened again to lock the hollow partitions and the hollow transverse partitions. The size of the rearing spaces on both sides of the hollow partitions can be adjusted by moving the hollow partitions left and right.

[0008] Furthermore, the three-dimensional cage top mechanism includes a top frame, a transparent top cover, ventilation longitudinal channels, tie rods, a top plate, and a top cover locking assembly. The rear top of the U-shaped enclosure is movably connected to the rear side of the top frame. The top cover locking assembly is installed at the front end of the top frame. A transparent top cover is provided on the inner side of the top frame. Ventilation longitudinal channels are opened at equal intervals on the transparent top cover. The four corners of the top frame are fixedly connected to the bottom four corners of the top plate by four tie rods. The top frame is locked using the top cover locking assembly, allowing the transparent top cover to cover the top opening of the cage and seal the top of the cage. The ventilation channels increase the ventilation of the transparent top cover. Due to its transparent nature, the transparent top cover will not block the light from above. If the top cover locking assembly is released from the top frame, the top frame and the transparent top cover can be flipped backward to open the top of the cage. This makes it easy to arrange the necessary parts in the various breeding spaces of the cage, and also makes it easy to put or take out the mice in the breeding spaces. The lever is used to install the top plate on top of the transparent top cover, keeping a certain distance between the top plate and the transparent top cover, which makes it easy to install the light-blocking structure and lighting structure on the top plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the cage also includes a light-blocking mechanism, which comprises a circular slide rail, corner plates, corner plate screws, sliding blocks, and a light-blocking curtain. A circular slide rail is fitted onto the outer side of the top plate, and four corner plates are respectively installed at the top of the four corners of the circular slide rail. The corner plates are fixed to the top of the top plate by corner plate screws. Multiple sliding blocks are equidistantly connected to the top of the light-blocking curtain, and the sliding blocks are slidably connected to the circular slide rail. The corner plates and corner plate screws allow the circular slide rail to be stably installed on the outer side of the top plate, enabling detachable installation. When the cage light-blocking mechanism is not needed, it can be completely removed. The sliding blocks slide along the circular slide rail, allowing the light-blocking curtain to unfold along the same rail, completely covering the cage and completing the light-blocking treatment.

[0010] Furthermore, the system includes a cage top lighting mechanism, which comprises a mounting bracket, a connecting block, and a light fixture. The mounting bracket is installed at the center of the bottom of the top plate, engaging with the connecting block. A light fixture is installed at the bottom of the connecting block. The mounting bracket and connecting block work together to allow for the detachable installation of the light fixture at the center of the bottom of the top plate. Lighting fixtures can be selected according to requirements, providing illumination of the cage interior when needed. The light fixture can be a powered light.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a multi-functional flip door, which comprises a door frame, a flip mechanism, a flip frame, a flip mesh panel, and a door latch assembly. Three door frames are equidistantly positioned on the bottom front and bottom rear sides of the U-shaped enclosure. Each door frame contains a flip frame connected by the flip mechanism, and a flip mesh panel is installed on the inner side of the flip frame. The top of the door frame is connected to the flip frame via the door latch assembly. The door frame is used to install the flip frame and flip mesh panel. The flip mechanism facilitates the opening of the flip frame and flip mesh panel, and when closed, they can be flipped 180 degrees. The flipping of the flip frame and flip mesh panel is achieved from the outside of the cage, without intruding into the cage's interior or interfering with the normal life of the mice inside. When the flip frame and flip mesh panel are opened, mice can be placed or removed from the feeding space through the door frame. The door latch assembly locks the door frame and flip frame. Flipping the flip frame and flip mesh panel flips the feeding component inside the flip frame to the outside, allowing for convenient feeding of the mice when needed.

[0012] Furthermore, the flipping movable component includes a door frame shaft, a movable rod, a flipping shaft, guide grooves, and guide posts. Two guide grooves are respectively opened on the upper and lower sides of the door frame, and notches are respectively opened at the upper and lower ends of the right side of the door frame. One end of two movable rods is movably connected to the two notches through the door frame shaft, and the other end of the two movable rods is movably connected to the upper and lower sides of the middle of the flipping frame through the flipping shaft. Two guide posts are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the right end of the flipping frame. The two guide posts are slidably connected to the two guide grooves, and the end of the movable rod near the door frame shaft is provided with a curved part that corresponds to and cooperates with the guide post. When it is necessary to open the flip frame and flip screen, or to flip the flip frame and flip screen 180 degrees, first use the door pin assembly to unlock the door frame and flip frame. Pull the end of the flip frame away from the door frame axis outward. The movable rod swings outward with the flip frame. The guide post on the flip frame slides along the guide groove to the other end, which can open the flip frame and flip screen. That is, the flip frame and flip screen are perpendicular to the front or back of the U-shaped enclosure. At this time, the worker's hand can reach into the interior of the breeding space through the door frame. Then continue to slide the guide post on the flip frame along the guide groove to the other end until the flip frame and flip screen are flipped 180 degrees. At this time, the flip frame and flip screen re-close the interior of the door frame. Then the door pin assembly can lock the door frame and flip frame again.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a feeding mechanism, which comprises a bracket, a rod, a side sliding groove, an anti-detachment spring, a sliding block, a double-slot feeding box, a feeding box expansion platform, and an anti-drop protrusion. The bracket is fixedly connected to the bottom rear side of the flip frame. A rectangular mounting groove is provided on the top of the bracket. The bottom of the rod is inserted into the rectangular mounting groove. A side sliding groove is provided on the side of the rod below the rectangular mounting groove. The sliding block is connected to the side sliding groove by a longitudinal anti-detachment spring. The sliding block is slidably connected to the side sliding groove, and a guide slope is provided at the bottom of the outer end of the sliding block. A double-slot feeding box is fixedly connected to the rear side of the rod. A feeding box expansion platform is provided on the top edge of the double-slot feeding box, and an anti-drop protrusion is provided on the top edge of the feeding box expansion platform. When feeding is needed, insert the insertion rod into the rectangular mounting slot. The guide slope of the sliding block helps press the sliding block into the side sliding groove along the top edge of the rectangular mounting slot. At this time, the anti-detachment spring is compressed. After the insertion rod is fully inserted, the anti-detachment spring rebounds and extends, pushing the sliding block out of the side sliding groove again. The upper side of the sliding block abuts against the bracket located on the lower side of the rectangular mounting slot, which can prevent the insertion rod from detaching from the rectangular mounting slot. This allows for the detachable installation of the double-slot feeding box and the bracket. To remove the double-slot feeding box, simply slide the sliding block... Pushing the block into the side sliding groove allows the insert rod to be pulled out from the rectangular mounting slot. The two feeding troughs of the double-trough feeding box can hold food and water respectively. The feeding box expansion platform can extend the edge of the feeding troughs. With the anti-drop protrusion, it can prevent food from falling when the mice are eating. It can accurately know the amount of food the mice eat. When the mice need to be fasted or when it is necessary to measure the amount of food the mice eat, flipping the flip frame and flip mesh can quickly turn the feeding mechanism to face the outside of the cage. At this time, it is not necessary to disassemble the double-trough feeding box and the flip frame.

[0014] Furthermore, the facility also includes a resting area for mice and rats. This resting area comprises uprights, shelves, covers, protective panels, L-shaped perimeter fencing, ladders, and a through-slot external support fixing assembly. The uprights are housed within the U-shaped enclosure. Two shelves are positioned at the bottom and middle of each side of the upright. A cover is positioned at the top of each side of the upright. The cover and the sides of the two shelves are fixedly connected to the sides of the protective panel. L-shaped perimeter fencing is provided along the edges of each shelf. The shelf in the middle of the upright connects to the top of the ladder. The through-slot external support fixing assembly is installed on the top of the upright away from the shelves. The uprights, shelves, covers, and protective panels form a two-story resting area, providing mice with a comfortable and safe space. The ladders facilitate climbing to the upper shelves. The L-shaped perimeter fencing allows mats to be laid on the shelves for resting. The through-slot external support fixing assembly secures the resting area within the rearing space, preventing displacement due to mouse activity.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this multi-scenario rat and mouse rearing cage are: 1. This multi-scenario rat and mouse rearing cage features a hollow horizontal partition that divides the cage into front and rear sections. The vertical grooves in the horizontal partition enhance ventilation within the cage. The hollow design of the partition increases the distance between the front and rear sections, preventing rats in the front and rear sections from contacting each other. The longitudinal partition further divides the cage, and the two longitudinal partitions, together with the hollow horizontal partition, can divide the cage into six rearing spaces. Adjusting the front-to-back position of the hollow horizontal partition and the left-to-right position of the longitudinal partition relative to the partition allows for adjustment of the size of the six rearing spaces to accommodate the rearing space needs of rats and mice.

[0016] 2. This multi-scenario rat and mouse rearing cage has a door frame for installing a flip-up frame and a flip-up mesh panel. The flip-up frame and mesh panel can be easily opened using the flip-up mechanism. When closed again, the flip-up frame and mesh panel can be flipped 180 degrees. The flip-up frame and mesh panel are flipped from the outside of the cage, without intruding into the cage's interior or interfering with the normal life of the rats inside. When the flip-up frame and mesh panel are opened, rats can be placed or removed from the rearing space through the door frame. The door frame and flip-up frame can then be locked using the door latch mechanism. Flipping the flip-up frame and mesh panel can flip the feeding device inside the flip-up frame to the outside, making it convenient to deprive the rats of food when needed.

[0017] 3. This multi-scenario rat and mouse breeding cage can meet the needs of raising multiple mice individually in one cage. It can raise both large and small rats, and provide them with independent drinking water and food, meeting various usage scenarios and saving the number of cages used. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1 to 11This embodiment provides a technical solution: a multi-scenario rat and mouse breeding cage, including a cage body mechanism 1. The cage body mechanism 1 includes a U-shaped enclosure 11, an enclosure vertical groove 12, a disassembly baffle 13, and a baffle vertical groove 14. The U-shaped enclosure 11 has enclosure vertical grooves 12 at equal intervals. The opening of the U-shaped enclosure 11 faces to the right. A disassembly baffle 13 is installed at the opening at the right end of the U-shaped enclosure 11. The disassembly baffle 13 has baffle vertical grooves 14 at equal intervals.

[0021] The cage mechanism 1 also includes a clamping plate 15. Two clamping plates 15 are provided on the front and rear sides of the disassembly baffle 13. The right end of the U-shaped enclosure 11 is provided with a groove that cooperates with the clamping plate 15. The clamping plate 15 is fixedly connected to the right end of the U-shaped enclosure 11 by clamping plate screws.

[0022] It is also equipped with a ventilation cage base 2, a three-dimensional cage top mechanism 3 and a three-dimensional cage top mechanism 3.

[0023] Ventilation cage 2 is installed at the bottom of U-shaped enclosure 11.

[0024] The ventilation cage seat 2 includes a seat plate 21, a seat plate longitudinal groove 22, support rods 23, an excrement tray 24, limiting flanges 25, a handle 26, and a tray baffle 27. Two seat plates 21 are provided, each with a seat plate longitudinal groove 22 spaced horizontally at equal intervals. The two seat plates 21 are arranged vertically and vertically, and their four corners are connected by four support rods 23. The top of the upper seat plate 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped enclosure 11. An excrement tray 24 is provided between the two seat plates 21. Two limiting flanges 25 are provided on each side of the excrement tray 24. Each limiting flange 25 is located between two corresponding support rods 23, thereby limiting the front and rear ends of the limiting flange 25. The excrement tray 24 cannot be removed from the front and rear between the two seat plates 21, but can only be removed from the left and right ends of the two seat plates 21. A handle 26 is provided in the middle of the side of the limiting plate 25 away from the excrement tray 24, and two tray baffles 27 are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the upper surface of the lower seat plate 21, which can limit the left and right movement of the excrement tray 24. The rat's excrement can fall onto the excrement tray 24 through the longitudinal groove 22 of the seat plate. When it is necessary to clean the excrement on the excrement tray 24, the handle 26 is used to lift the excrement tray 24 and the limiting plate 25 so that the bottom of the excrement tray 24 is higher than the tray baffles 27, and then the excrement tray 24 can be removed laterally to clean the excrement inside.

[0025] The three-dimensional cage top mechanism 3 is installed on the top of the U-shaped enclosure 11.

[0026] The three-dimensional cage top mechanism 3 includes a top frame 31, hinges 32, a transparent top cover 35, ventilation longitudinal channels 36, tie rods 37, a top plate 38, and a top cover locking assembly. The rear top of the U-shaped enclosure 11 is movably connected to the rear side of the top frame 31 via the hinges 32. The top cover locking assembly is installed at the front end of the top frame 31. A transparent top cover 35 is provided on the inner side of the top frame 31. Ventilation longitudinal channels 36 are provided at equal intervals on the transparent top cover 35. The top plate 38 is located directly above the center of the transparent top cover 35. The four corners of the top frame 31 are fixedly connected to the bottom four corners of the top plate 38 via four tie rods 37.

[0027] The three-dimensional cage top mechanism 3 also includes a cage top handle 39. The cage top handle 39 is located at the top center of the top plate 38, and the entire cage can be lifted with the help of the cage top handle 39.

[0028] The top cover locking assembly includes a fixing seat 33 and a butterfly fixing bolt 34. The front end of the top frame 31 is provided with two fixing seats 33, and the butterfly fixing bolt 34 is threaded onto each of the two fixing seats 33. When the end of the butterfly fixing bolt 34 extends into the top of the vertical groove 12 of the enclosure on the front side of the U-shaped enclosure 11, the top frame 31 and the U-shaped enclosure 11 can be locked. Loosening the butterfly fixing bolt 34 and disengaging the end of the butterfly fixing bolt 34 from the vertical groove 12 of the enclosure will allow the top frame 31 and the transparent top cover 35 to be opened, and components can be arranged inside the cage through the top of the U-shaped enclosure 11.

[0029] The top frame 31 is locked by the top cover locking assembly, allowing the transparent top cover 35 to cover the top opening of the cage, thus sealing the top of the cage. The ventilation longitudinal channel 36 increases the ventilation of the transparent top cover 35. Due to its transparent nature, the transparent top cover 35 will not block the light from above. If the top frame 31 is unlocked by the top cover locking assembly, the top frame 31 and the transparent top cover 35 can be flipped backward to open the top of the cage. This makes it convenient to arrange the necessary parts in the various breeding spaces inside the cage, and also convenient to place or remove mice in the breeding spaces. The pull rod 37 installs the top plate 38 above the transparent top cover 35, keeping a certain distance between the top plate 38 and the transparent top cover 35, which facilitates the arrangement of light-blocking and lighting structures on the top plate 38.

[0030] The multi-scene cage partition mechanism 4 includes a hollow horizontal partition 41, a horizontal partition vertical through groove 42, a complete barrier plate 45, and a longitudinal partition component. The hollow horizontal partition 41 is provided inside the U-shaped enclosure 11. The front and rear sides of the hollow horizontal partition 41 are provided with horizontal partition vertical through grooves 42 at equal intervals. The two ends of the hollow horizontal partition 41 pass through the corresponding enclosure vertical through groove 12 and the baffle vertical through groove 14, respectively. The complete barrier plate 45 is inserted inside the hollow horizontal partition 41, and two longitudinal partition components are installed on the hollow horizontal partition 41.

[0031] The multi-scene cage partition mechanism 4 also includes adjustment fixing strips 43 and fixing screws 44. Two adjustment fixing strips 43 are respectively provided on the top left side of the U-shaped enclosure 11 and the top left side of the disassembly baffle 13. Each adjustment fixing strip 43 has multiple threaded holes at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction. The top of both ends of the hollow horizontal partition 41 are fixedly connected to the two adjustment fixing strips 43 by two fixing screws 44. The number of screw holes equally spaced on the adjusting fixing strip 43 can be selected as needed. When it is necessary to adjust the front and rear position of the hollow cross partition 41, loosen the fixing screw 44, first pull the hollow cross partition 41 out from the right side of the disassembly baffle 13, then readjust the front and rear position of the hollow cross partition 41 inserted into the U-shaped enclosure 11 and the disassembly baffle 13, and after re-inserting the hollow cross partition 41, re-thread the fixing screw 44 into the threaded hole at the top of the corresponding hollow cross partition 41. Fix the ends of the adjusting fixing strip 43 and the hollow cross partition 41 with the fixing screw 44. When the hollow cross partition 41 is arranged in front, the space in front of the hollow cross partition 41 in the cage is smaller, while the space behind the hollow cross partition 41 is larger.

[0032] The longitudinal partition assembly includes a hollow longitudinal partition 46, a longitudinal partition vertical groove 47, and a positioning screw 48. The hollow longitudinal partition 46 has longitudinal partition vertical grooves 47 evenly spaced on both the left and right sides. The hollow transverse partition 41 passes through the corresponding longitudinal partition vertical groove 47 on the hollow longitudinal partition 46. The top of the hollow longitudinal partition 46 is fixedly connected to the top of the hollow transverse partition 41 by the positioning screw 48. The top of the hollow longitudinal partition 46 can have more screw holes for the hollow transverse partition 41 to pass through different longitudinal partition vertical grooves 47. The hollow transverse partition 41 and the two hollow longitudinal partitions 46 divide the U-shaped enclosure 11 into six feeding spaces. The vertical groove 47 of the partition plate can improve the ventilation of the breeding space. The hollow design of the hollow partition plate 46 can increase the distance between adjacent breeding spaces on the left and right. Even with the vertical groove 47 of the partition plate, it can prevent rats in adjacent breeding spaces from contacting each other. If complete isolation is required, an isolation plate similar to a complete barrier plate 45 can be inserted into the hollow partition plate 46. When it is necessary to adjust the left and right position of the hollow partition plate 46, the positioning screw 48 can be loosened, and the hollow partition plate 46 can be slid left and right along the hollow transverse partition plate 41. Then, the positioning screw 48 can be tightened again to lock the hollow partition plate 46 and the hollow transverse partition plate 41. When the hollow partition plate 46 moves left and right, the size of the breeding space on both sides of the hollow partition plate 46 can be adjusted.

[0033] In use, the U-shaped enclosure 11 and the detachable baffle 13 constitute the basic structure of the cage. The vertical through-slots 12 of the enclosure and 14 of the baffle improve the ventilation and light transmission of the cage. The detachable baffle 13 is removed from the opening at the right end of the U-shaped enclosure 11, facilitating the installation of the multi-scene cage partition mechanism 4 inside the U-shaped enclosure 11. The three-dimensional cage top mechanism 3 seals the top of the cage, and the ventilation cage seat 2 seals the bottom of the cage, while improving the ventilation at the bottom of the cage, which helps to maintain the dryness and cleanliness inside the cage. The hollow horizontal partition 41 divides the cage into front and rear parts. The vertical through-slots 42 on the hollow horizontal partition 41 improve the ventilation inside the cage. The hollow design of the hollow horizontal partition 41 allows for... To increase the distance between the front and rear parts of the cage, preventing the mice in the front and rear halves of the cage from contacting each other, if ventilation is not a concern, the front and rear halves of the cage need to be completely isolated. This can be achieved by inserting a complete barrier plate 45 into the hollow horizontal partition 41 to block the vertical passage 42 of the horizontal partition. The longitudinal partition components can further divide the interior of the cage. The two longitudinal partition components, together with the hollow horizontal partition 41, can divide the interior of the cage into six breeding spaces. By adjusting the front and rear position of the hollow horizontal partition 41 in the cage and the left and right position of the longitudinal partition components relative to the hollow horizontal partition 41, the size of the six breeding spaces can be adjusted to meet the breeding space requirements of mice and rats.

The two guide posts 58 are slidably connected to the two guide grooves 57, and the end of the movable rod 53 near the door frame shaft 52 is provided with a curved part that corresponds to and cooperates with the guide post 58. When it is necessary to open the flip frame 55 and the flip mesh plate 56, or to flip the flip frame 55 and the flip mesh plate 56 180 degrees, first use the door pin assembly to unlock the door frame 51 and the flip frame 55. Pull the end of the flip frame 55 away from the door frame axis 52 outward. The movable rod 53 swings outward with the flip frame 55. The guide post 58 on the flip frame 55 slides along the guide groove 57 to the other end, which can open the flip frame 55 and the flip mesh plate 56. That is, the flip frame 55 and the flip mesh plate 56 are perpendicular to the front or back of the U-shaped enclosure 11. At this time, the worker's hand can reach into the interior of the breeding space through the door frame 51. Then continue to slide the guide post 58 on the flip frame 55 along the guide groove 57 to the other end until the flip frame 55 and the flip mesh plate 56 are flipped 180 degrees. At this time, the flip frame 55 and the flip mesh plate 56 re-close the interior of the door frame 51. Then the door pin assembly can re-lock the door frame 51 and the flip frame 55.

[0038] The door bolt assembly includes a door frame pin 59, a pin handle 510, and a pin hole 511. A pin hole is provided at the top left end of the door frame 51, and the door frame pin 59 is inserted through the pin hole. A pin handle 510 is provided at the top of the door frame pin 59.

The bracket 61 is fixedly connected to the bottom rear side of the flip frame 55. A rectangular mounting groove is opened on the top of the bracket 61. The bottom of the rod 62 is inserted into the rectangular mounting groove. A side sliding groove 63 is opened on the side of the rod 62 at the position below the rectangular mounting groove. The sliding block 65 is connected to the side sliding groove 63 through the longitudinal anti-detachment spring 64. The sliding block 65 is slidably connected to the side sliding groove 63, and a guide slope is provided at the bottom of the outer end of the sliding block 65. The double-trough feeding box 66 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the rod 62. A feeding box expansion platform 67 is provided on the top edge of the double-trough feeding box 66, and an anti-drop protrusion 68 is provided on the top edge of the feeding box expansion platform 67. When feeding is needed, insert the insertion rod 62 into the rectangular mounting slot. The guide slope of the sliding block 65 facilitates the top edge of the rectangular mounting slot to press the sliding block 65 into the side sliding groove 63. At this time, the anti-detachment spring 64 is compressed. After the insertion rod 62 is fully inserted, the anti-detachment spring 64 rebounds and extends, pushing the sliding block 65 to extend out of the side sliding groove 63 again. The upper side of the sliding block 65 abuts against the bracket 61 located on the lower side of the rectangular mounting slot, which can prevent the insertion rod 62 from detaching from the rectangular mounting slot. This allows for the detachable installation of the double-slot feeding box 66 and the bracket 61. When the double-slot feeding box 66 needs to be removed... Pushing the sliding block 65 into the side sliding groove 63 allows the insertion rod 62 to be pulled out from the rectangular mounting slot. The two feeding troughs of the double-trough feeding box 66 can hold food and water respectively. The feeding box expansion platform 67 can expand the edge of the feeding trough. With the anti-drop protrusion 68, the food can be prevented from falling when the mouse is eating. The amount of food eaten by the mouse can be accurately determined. When the mouse needs to be fasted or the amount of food eaten by the mouse needs to be measured, flipping the flipping frame 55 and flipping mesh 56 can quickly turn the feeding mechanism 6 towards the outside of the cage. At this time, it is not necessary to disassemble the double-trough feeding box 66 and the flipping frame 55.

[0040] Example 5, please refer to Figures 1 to 11 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a multi-scenario rat and mouse rearing cage. This embodiment is structurally similar to Embodiment 4, with the difference being: To provide a safe resting space for mice and rats, a resting mechanism 7 is also provided. The resting mechanism 7 includes a vertical plate 71, shelves 72, a cover 73, a protective plate 74, an L-shaped edging 75, a ladder plate 76, and a through-slot external support fixing assembly.

A cover 73 is provided on the top of the side of the vertical plate 71. The cover 73 and the sides of the two shelves 72 are fixedly connected to the sides of the protective plate 74. L-shaped edging 75 is provided on the edges of the two shelves 72. The shelf 72 in the middle of the vertical plate 71 is connected to the top of the ladder plate 76. The through-slot external support fixing assembly is installed on the top of the vertical plate 71 away from the shelf 72.

[0041] The through-slot external support fixing assembly includes a support plate 77, sliding columns 78, external support slide plates 79, limiting nuts 710, external support springs 711, and pinch plates 712. A support plate 77 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the side of the upright plate 71 away from the shelf 72. Two sliding columns 78 are fixedly connected to the middle of the support plate 77, with the two sliding columns 78 arranged vertically. The left ends of the two sliding columns 78 are slidably connected to two sliding holes on one external support slide plate 79, and the right ends of the two sliding columns 78 are slidably connected to two sliding holes on the other external support slide plate 79. Limit nuts 710 are threaded to both ends of each sliding column 78. An external support spring 711 is sleeved on the sliding column 78 between the external support slide plate 79 and the support plate 77. Two pinch plates 712 are integrally formed and connected to the top of the 9. Friction grooves are opened on the side of the two outer support slide plates 79 that are far apart from each other. When the two pinch plates 712 are pinched, the outer support spring 711 is compressed, so that the two outer support slide plates 79 are brought closer together. Then the two outer support slide plates 79 are inserted into the vertical channel 12 of the enclosure or the vertical channel 14 of the baffle. When the pinch plates 712 are released, the outer support spring 711 rebounds and extends, pressing the two outer support slide plates 79 against the inner side of the vertical channel 12 of the enclosure or the vertical channel 14 of the baffle. The friction grooves can increase the friction between the outer support slide plates 79 and the inner side of the vertical channel 12 of the enclosure or the vertical channel 14 of the baffle, which can fix the position of the upright plate 71 and prevent the mouse from knocking over the upright plate 71 or causing the upright plate 71 to shift.

[0042] The upright board 71, shelf 72, cover 73 and protective board 74 can form a two-story rest room, providing a comfortable and safe space for mice. The ladder board 76 makes it easy for mice to climb to the upper shelf 72. The L-shaped fence 75 can be used to lay mats on the shelf 72, where mice can rest. The through groove external support fixing component can fix the rest room in the breeding space with the through groove, preventing the rest room from shifting due to the movement of mice.
