[0021] The invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides an animal behavior training device, including: an arm support 1 and an open fence 7. A connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the arm support 1. The connecting plate 6 is disposed on one side of the open fence 7. Multiple corresponding arm rests 2 and arm limiting rods 3 are disposed on the inner side of the arm support 1. A grip rod movable bracket 5 is disposed above the end of the arm support 1. An arm grip rod 4 is movably connected to the grip rod movable bracket 5.
[0023] The arm support 1 and arm grip 4 allow for repeated training of the animal's arm coordination behavior during daily feeding, facilitating routine research such as subsequent blood collection, blood pressure measurement, and joint observation. Furthermore, the adjustable connection height between the arm support 1 and the perforated enclosure 7, along with the spherical movable node 8 and the grip movable support 5 of the arm grip 4, enable the arm grip 4 to move at different spatial angles, adapting to arm behavior training for animals of different body sizes.
[0024] like Figure 2-4As shown, the arm support 1 in this embodiment includes a rectangular tube frame 101, two rectangular tubes 102 that are slidably fitted in the two ends of the rectangular tube frame 101, and a plurality of through holes 103 opened on the upper side of the rectangular tube frame 101; the arm limiting rod 3 includes a U-shaped limiting rod 301 and a screw rod 302 that is fixedly connected to the two ends of the U-shaped limiting rod 301 and located in the through holes 103; a first bolt is provided on the screw rod 302, and the U-shaped limiting rod 301 is installed on the two rectangular tubes 102 by the first bolt.
[0025] Through this structural design, the sliding fit of the rectangular tube 102 within the rectangular tube frame 101 allows for flexible adjustment of the overall length of the arm support 1 to accommodate the needs of animals of different sizes. The multiple through holes 103 provide various options for the installation position of the arm limiting rod 3. When the position of the arm limiting rod 3 needs to be adjusted, simply loosen the first bolt, move the lead screw 302 to the appropriate position within the through hole 103, and then tighten the first bolt to achieve a stable installation of the U-shaped limiting rod 301 on the two rectangular tubes 102. This adjustable structure makes the animal behavior training device highly versatile and flexible. Furthermore, the U-shaped limiting rod 301 is designed to fit the shape of the animal's arm well. During training, it can limit the range of motion of the animal's arm while avoiding excessive pressure or injury. The engagement between the lead screw 302 and the first bolt not only ensures the stability of the installation but also facilitates disassembly and replacement, making it convenient for cleaning and maintenance. In actual use, staff can quickly and easily adjust the device according to the specific situation of the animal and training requirements, improving training efficiency and effectiveness. Moreover, this structure is simple and easy to understand, and easy to operate, reducing the professional skills required of staff and enabling more people to use the animal behavior training device proficiently.
[0026] like Figure 5-6 As shown, the movable support 5 for the grip bar in this embodiment includes a first movable seat 501, a second movable seat 502, a connecting block 503, and a pin 504. The first movable seat 501 and the second movable seat 502 are each provided with a first insertion hole 505, and the connecting block 503 is provided with a second insertion hole 506. The first movable seat 501 and the second movable seat 502 are movably connected to the connecting block 503 by the pin 504 inserted into the first insertion hole 505 and the second insertion hole 506. The first movable seat 501 is fixedly connected to the rectangular tube frame 101, and the second movable seat 502 and the arm grip bar 4 are provided with a spherical movable node 8. The spherical movable node 8 includes a ring 801 fixedly connected to the second movable seat 502, an annular deep groove 802 opened on the inner side of the ring 801, a movable ball 803 movably fitted in the annular deep groove 802, and two connecting rods 804 fixedly connected to the movable ball 803 and fixedly connected to the arm grip bar 4.
[0027] The design of the spherical movable node 8 allows the arm grip 4 to rotate flexibly in multiple directions, providing a wider range of activity for animals during behavioral training. When the animal grasps the arm grip 4, the movable ball 803 can roll freely in the annular deep groove 802, causing the arm grip 4 to produce corresponding displacement and angle changes. In actual training, this flexible activity method can simulate more realistic scenarios, allowing animals to better adapt to different action requirements. Moreover, since the first movable seat 501 and the second movable seat 502 are movably connected to the connecting block 503 through the pin 504, the entire grip movable bracket 5 also has a certain degree of mobility. When an animal applies force to the arm grip 4, not only will the spherical movable node 8 move, but the grip movable support 5 can also swing adaptively to a certain extent. This helps to disperse the force applied by the animal, reduce local pressure on the device, and extend the service life of the device. In addition, the connecting block 503 serves to connect and support the first movable seat 501 and the second movable seat 502, ensuring the stability of the entire grip movable bracket 5 structure. Even when the animal performs relatively vigorous movements, it can ensure that the connection between the arm grip 4 and the rectangular tube frame 101 is stable and will not loosen or fall off, providing a reliable guarantee for the smooth progress of animal behavior training.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the arm rest 2 in this embodiment adopts a hollow cubic structure.
[0029] On the one hand, it can effectively reduce the weight of the arm rest 2 itself, making the entire animal behavior training device more convenient to move and install, reducing the difficulty of operation and labor intensity. On the other hand, the hollow structure can also save manufacturing materials to a certain extent and reduce production costs.
[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the perforated fence 7 in this embodiment includes multiple hollow posts, a crossbar fixedly connected between the multiple hollow posts, and multiple fixing holes opened on one side of the multiple hollow posts.
[0031] These hollow posts not only reduce the overall weight of the perforated enclosure 7, facilitating the transport and installation of the device, but their hollow design also saves on material costs to some extent. The fixed connection of the crossbars enhances the structural stability of the entire perforated enclosure 7, enabling it to withstand certain impact forces generated by animals during activity. The multiple fixing holes on one side of the hollow posts have significant practical value. Through these fixing holes, other auxiliary equipment or accessories can be easily installed on the perforated enclosure 7. For example, monitoring equipment for recording animal behavior or devices for dispensing food can be installed to meet different animal behavior training needs. In addition, the design of the fixing holes also greatly enhances the expandability of the perforated enclosure 7. Users can flexibly adjust and add relevant equipment according to the actual training scenario and animal species, further optimizing the function of the animal behavior training device.
[0032] How to use it; (1) Select the opening range and spacing of the steel fence according to the type and size range of the animals to be raised, so as to ensure that the training device can meet the training requirements of different animals and the same animal in different postures.
[0033] (2) Weld the arm bracket 1 to the connecting plate 6, and at the same time, fix the connecting plate 6 to the opening fence 7 with bolts according to the required fixed height of the arm bracket 1.
[0034] (3) The arm plank 2 is fixed to both sides of the large rectangular tube of the arm support 1 by welding.
[0035] (4) Adjust the telescopic length of the arm support 1, put the upper part of the arm limit rod 3 into the nut and then insert it into the side hole of the arm support 1. Adjust the length of the exposed screw rod 302 at the bottom according to the required U-shaped limit rod 301 movement space. After the height adjustment of the U-shaped limit rod 301 is completed, tighten the upper and lower nuts to fix the arm limit rod 3.
[0036] (5) Weld the first movable seat 501 of the arm grip 4 to the end of the arm support 1, and weld the spherical movable node 8 to the top of the grip movable support 5.
[0037] (6) Test the spherical active node 8 and the arm grip 4 to ensure that the range of motion of the grip meets the space requirements of the animal's arm movement.
[0038] (7) Conduct preliminary animal arm behavior training. In the initial stage of behavior shaping, focus on fine motor training of the animal's forelimbs. The core goal of this stage is to enable the animal to master the skill of holding the special arm grip. This training process integrates behavior reinforcement and food incentive strategies. Through repeated practice and reinforcement, it aims to form a stable and conditioned movement pattern.
[0039] (8) Once this stable and conditioned behavioral pattern is formed, routine biological research will be carried out gradually, including joint observation, blood pressure measurement, skin sampling, and biological sampling.
[0040] (9) Once the animal has successfully established a stable and conditioned behavioral pattern, a series of high-precision routine biological studies will be carried out step by step, including detailed observation of joints, precise measurement of blood pressure, collection of epidermal samples and precise acquisition of biological materials such as blood, in order to explore its physiological and biological characteristics in depth. During this process, the animal's stress response will gradually fade until a stable animal physiological sampling system is formed.
[0041] This invention is not limited to the embodiments described above. Anyone should understand that structural changes made under the guidance of this invention, and any technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this invention, fall within the protection scope of this invention. Technical aspects, shapes, and structures not described in detail in this invention are all publicly known technologies.
