Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention specifically relates to a mouse waste treatment device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] In life science research, pharmaceutical development, and biosafety assessment, mice, as model organisms with well-defined genetic backgrounds, short reproductive cycles, and low feeding costs, are widely used in various experimental scenarios. With the expansion of experimental scale and the increasing standardization requirements for animal husbandry, the issue of waste disposal during mouse rearing has become increasingly prominent. The efficiency, biosafety, and compliance of waste disposal directly affect the accuracy of experimental results, animal welfare, and public health safety.

[0003] Currently, mouse waste management mainly relies on a combination of traditional manual operation and simple collection devices. For ordinary cages and IVC systems, the conventional process requires transferring the mice to a temporary container, then manually removing the bedding, wiping the cage walls, cleaning and disinfecting the cage and accessories, and finally replacing the bedding to complete the repositioning. This method is labor-intensive and inefficient. For large-scale breeding scenarios, cleaning at least 1-2 times per week requires significant manpower. Furthermore, the exposure of waste during cleaning can generate aerosols, and operators have direct contact with waste that may carry zoonotic pathogens, posing a very high risk of occupational exposure.

[0004] Some laboratories have begun using simple collection devices with a slatted design, where waste is channeled through a slatted opening at the bottom of the cage into a removable collection box, reducing the frequency of bedding changes. While these devices achieve initial separation of waste from the mice, feces and urine tend to mix and accumulate in the collection box, not only breeding bacteria and producing odors but also releasing harmful gases such as ammonia. Long-term exposure can lead to respiratory diseases and organ damage in mice, directly affecting the health of laboratory animals and the reliability of experimental data. Other processing devices use cleaning scrapers to scrape mouse feces into the collection box, preventing the accumulation of feces and urine. However, this cleaning method involves a large contact area with feces during scraping, and the movement of the feces can easily cause feces and urine to mix and be squeezed onto the scraped surface, resulting in the mixed waste adhering to the scraped surface and making it even more difficult to clean.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a mouse waste treatment device and its usage method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

S5. During the conveying process of the conveyor belt 62, the liquid components in the waste leak and seep down through the multiple water filter holes 63 provided on it; the seeping liquid flows into the collection box 21 located directly below the conveyor belt 62; the liquid gathers along the inclined surface at the bottom of the collection box 21 to the drain outlet 22 in the middle, and is discharged into the external collection pipe 7 through the connection port 44; the remaining solid waste is transported by the reverse-running conveyor belt 62 to both ends of the collection box 21, and slides into the collection area 32 of the fixed collection component 3 via the auxiliary slope 23; S6. Periodically open the cover plate 33 of the fixed collection component 3, and pull out the built-in collection tank 34 from the placement slot 38 at the bottom of the mounting block 31 to centrally process the accumulated solid waste; after cleaning, put the collection tank 34 back, and the limiting baffle 341 at its top can ensure that the installation is stable.

The condition inside the feeding box and the status of waste disposal can be observed through the ventilation hole 19. The sealing of each connection part and the working status of the transmission components are checked regularly to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the device.

[0030] In this invention, the positioning strips 41 on the inner side of the top two side panels 46 of the box body 4 are aligned with the positioning mounting grooves 12 in the bottom two side positioning mounting grooves 11 of the mouse feeding box 1. After ensuring that the cross section of the positioning strip 41 is completely matched with the cross section of the positioning mounting groove 12, it is slowly pushed in until it is in place, so as to achieve the initial horizontal positioning of the box body 4 and the feeding box 1. The limiting plate 14 is taken and inserted into the positioning mounting groove 12 through the insertion hole 13 at the top of the positioning mounting groove 11, so that the stop strip 141 at the bottom of the limiting plate 14 and the insertion hole 13 form a limiting fit to prevent the positioning strip 41 from coming out of the positioning mounting groove 12, thus completing the horizontal fixation of the box body 4 and the feeding box 1.

[0031] Specifically, the fastening plate 51 of the sealing fastening assembly 5 is connected to the ends of the positioning mounting grooves 11 on both sides, so that the T-shaped positioning block 57 on the inner side of the fastening plate 51 is aligned with the T-shaped positioning grooves 56 at both ends of the mouse feeding box 1. At the same time, the telescopic block 53 is inserted into the fixing sleeve 54. At this time, one end of the telescopic spring 55 is connected to the bottom of the inner side of the fixing sleeve 54, and the other end is placed in the spring mounting groove 58 of the telescopic block 53. Under the pre-tightening force of the telescopic spring 55, the positioning block 57 is embedded in the positioning groove 56, and the sealing strip 52 at the bottom of the fastening plate 51 is tightly pressed into the sealing grooves 45 at both ends of the top of the box 4, forming a vertical compression seal.

[0032] Specifically, the collection box 21 is fixed inside the receiving groove 43 of the box body 4, ensuring that the lowest points of the slopes on both sides of the bottom and the middle sides of the collection box 21 are connected to the drain outlet 22, and that the auxiliary slopes 23 at the top of both ends of the collection box 21 can accurately connect to the output end of the conveyor belt 62 to be installed later. Then, the drain outlet 22 is connected to the connection port 44 at the bottom of the receiving groove 43 of the box body 4, and then the connection port 44 is connected to the external collection pipe 7 to ensure that the liquid can be discharged smoothly.

[0033] Specifically, transmission rods 61 are installed in the transmission holes 47 on both sides of the box body 4. The two sets of transmission rods 61 are connected to the transmission motors 64 fixed on both sides of the box body 4 respectively. Then, a conveyor belt 62 is sleeved on the outside of each set of transmission rods 61. The distance between the two sets of conveyor belts 62 is adjusted to 2mm, and the two sets of transmission motors 64 drive in opposite directions, so that the conveyor belts 62 convey the materials to both ends of the collection box 21 respectively.

[0034] Specifically, align the mounting block 31 with the mounting grooves 42 at both ends of the bottom of the box 4, so that the T-shaped locking blocks 35 on both sides of the mounting block 31 are embedded into the T-shaped locking grooves 48 on the inner wall of the mounting groove 42, thus fixing the mounting block 31. Next, place the collection tank 34 into the placement groove 38 through the opening 36 at the bottom of the mounting block 31, and use the limiting baffle 341 on the outer side of the top of the collection tank 34 to restrict its position, ensuring that the installation length of the collection tank 34 does not exceed the bottom of the placement groove 38. Finally, install the cover plate 33 at the opening 36 through the hinge 37, thus completing the assembly of the fixed collection component 3.

[0035] Specifically, the drive motor 64 is started, driving the transmission rods 61 of the two sets of conveyor components 6 to rotate, causing the two sets of conveyor belts 62 to run in opposite directions. Excrement and waste produced by the mice in the feeding box 1 will fall onto the conveyor belts 62 through the filter plate 8 at the bottom of the feeding box 1.

[0036] Specifically, during the conveyor belt 62 transport process, the liquid components in the waste seep down through the filter holes 63 and flow into the collection box 21 below. They then collect along the slope of the collection box 21 to the drain outlet 22 and are discharged through the connection port 44 and the external collection pipe 7. The solid waste is transported by the conveyor belt 62 to both ends of the collection box 21, slides into the collection area 32 of the fixed collection component 3 via the auxiliary slope 23, and falls into the collection tank 34 along the slope at the bottom of the collection area 32.

[0037] Specifically, the cover 33 is periodically opened using the pull handle 331 on the cover 33 to remove the collection tank 34 for centralized treatment of solid waste. After cleaning, the collection tank 34 is returned to the placement tank 38. Simultaneously, the smoothness of liquid collection and discharge is observed, and the collection box 21 and external collection pipe 7 are cleaned if necessary to prevent blockage. Furthermore, the flip-top 17 can be opened using the handle 18 on the observation cover 15, and the condition inside the feeding box and the status of waste treatment can be observed through the ventilation holes 19. The sealing of all connections and the working condition of the transmission components are checked periodically.

[0038] In this invention, the overall device, through the cooperation of the conveyor belt 62 with filter holes 63 and the collection box 21 with inclined surface, can quickly separate the liquid and solid in the sewage.
