[0024] The specific implementation will be described below in combination with the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Figures 1-6The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are described clearly and completely, obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all.

[0025] Embodiments

[0026] The split anti-throwing rat feed feeding device comprises a fixed assembly and a feed storage assembly detachably connected with the fixed assembly, wherein the fixed assembly comprises a baffle 1, an odor inducing patch 2, a placement table 3 and a placement hole 4, the placement table 3 is a circular platform, the surface of the placement table 3 is paved with a non-slip layer 8, the non-slip layer 8 is made of silicone or rubber material, the thickness is 1mm to 3mm, and the non-slip layer 8 can prevent the rat from slipping during eating feed.

[0027] The placement hole 4 is provided at the center position of the placement table 3, the depth of the placement hole 4 is 3mm to 8mm, the shape thereof is matched with the outer contour of the bottom of the first cylinder 6 for accurately positioning the position of the feed storage assembly. The baffle 1 is fixed to the outer edge of the placement table 3, the height is 10mm to 30mm, and the baffle 1 plays a limiting role to avoid the rat moving too much during eating.

[0028] The inner side of the baffle 1 is provided with an elastic buckle, the material of the elastic buckle is polyurethane, the elastic modulus thereof ranges from 1MPa to 5MPa, which is used to stabilize the installation of the baffle 1 and the placement table 3, and facilitate quick disassembly.

[0029] The odor inducing patch 2 is arranged on the baffle 1, which contains volatile substances with specific odors, such as grain extract or natural plant essential oil, which can attract rats to approach the feed storage assembly by releasing odors, thereby improving the eating efficiency. The size of the odor inducing patch 2 is 10mm*10mm to 30mm*30mm, and the thickness is 0.5mm to 1mm, which is fixed on the surface of the baffle 1 by pasting.

[0030] The feed storage assembly comprises a first cylinder 6 and a second cylinder 7, the first cylinder 6 is sleeved in the second cylinder 7, the top of the first cylinder 6 is provided with a flange 5, the width of the flange 5 is 5mm to 15mm, the edge is inwardly inclined, the inclination angle is 30 degrees to 60 degrees, and the flange 5 forms a shape similar to a roof. The purpose of the flange 5 is to prevent the rat from throwing the feed out of the cage when the rat is digging the feed with the paw. The design of the flange 5 in combination with the limiting effect of the baffle 1 ensures that the feed remains in the first cylinder 6 during the rat eating process, thereby reducing feed waste.

[0031] The bottom end of the first cylinder 6 is provided with a leakage hole, the diameter of the leakage hole is 2mm to 8mm, which is used to make the remaining feed fall into the second cylinder 7 by pulling out the first cylinder 6 after feeding is completed. The number of leakage holes is 1 to 4, which are uniformly distributed at the bottom end of the first cylinder 6 to ensure that the feed can fall smoothly.

[0032] The second cylinder 7 is a larger cylindrical container, the volume of which is 1.5 times the volume of the first cylinder 6, for receiving the remaining feed leaked from the first cylinder 6, facilitating subsequent weighing and processing, and the bottom of the second cylinder 7 is provided with a smooth transition arc structure to avoid feed residues. The first cylinder 6 and the second cylinder 7 are both made of transparent material polypropylene, which facilitates observation of the consumption of feed.

[0033] In order to better understand the present application, a use process of the present application is now provided:

[0034] The first cylinder 6 is embedded in the positioning groove of the placement table 3, ensuring that the feed storage assembly is stably installed;

[0035] The rats approach and eat under the guidance of the smell induction patch 2, and the flange 5 blocks the feed from being thrown during the eating process;

[0036] After the feeding is completed, the staff pulls the first cylinder 6 upward, and the remaining feed automatically falls into the second cylinder 7 through the leakage hole. During the pulling process, the first cylinder 6 is separated from the second cylinder 7, the leakage hole is exposed, and the remaining feed falls into the second cylinder 7 under the action of gravity.

[0037] The first cylinder 6 and the second cylinder 7 are cleaned respectively, and during cleaning, the first cylinder 6 and the second cylinder 7 can be completely separated, facilitating thorough cleaning.
