[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of feeding boxes, in particular to a rodent feeding box involved in the research of rodent nutrition metabolism. Background Art

[0002] Nutritional metabolism plays an important role in many chronic diseases. It is associated with many chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, etc. In the relevant nutritional metabolism research, the establishment of animal models is involved, and rodents account for a large proportion of them. In order to study the nutritional metabolism of rodents, rodents are raised in feeding boxes;

[0003] In order to ensure the growth environment of rodents, the bedding in the rodent breeding box needs to be replaced. The existing bedding replacement mostly adopts manual opening of the cage cover, driving the rodents to one side of the cage, and then using a bucket to move the bedding out. During this operation, on the one hand, it is not easy to completely replace the bedding. On the other hand, since the cage is in an open state for a long time, the rodent is easy to jump out of the cage, causing the rodent to escape, and the catching work is more difficult, time-consuming and laborious.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0023] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a rodent breeding box involved in the study of rodent nutritional metabolism includes a box body 1 and a box cover 2, and a replacement structure 3 is arranged inside the box body 1;

[0024] The replacement structure 3 includes a filter 301, which is fixedly installed inside the box body 1 near the bottom. A movable groove 302 is opened on one side of the box body 1 near the bottom. A movable box 303 is slidably installed in the movable groove 302, and a movable plate 304 is slidably installed in the movable box 303. A bidirectional screw 305 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the movable groove 302, and four threaded adjustment blocks 306 are arranged on the surface of the bidirectional screw 305. A connecting block 307 is rotatably installed at one end of the adjusting block 306, and the other ends of the two connecting blocks 307 are rotatably connected to a top plate 308. An adjusting groove 309 is opened at the bottom of the movable box 303.

[0025] In this embodiment, the bidirectional screw 305 has four sections of threads, and the directions of the threads of adjacent sections are opposite.

[0026] The bidirectional screw 305 controls the displacement of the adjusting block 306 , and the thread directions of adjacent segments are opposite so that the displacement directions of the adjusting blocks 306 located in adjacent segments are opposite.

[0027] In this embodiment, the four threaded surfaces of the bidirectional screw 305 are all threadedly connected to the adjustment block 306 , and the top plate 308 is in close contact with the movable plate 304 .

[0028] The adjustment block 306 moves along the bidirectional screw rod 305 to raise and lower the top plate 308 , so that the top plate 308 can lift and lower the movable plate 304 .

[0029] In this embodiment, a handle is provided at one end of the bidirectional screw rod 305 , and a handle is provided on one side surface of the movable box 303 .

[0030] The handle is convenient for rotating the bidirectional screw rod 305 , and the handle is also convenient for taking out and putting in the movable box 303 , and the handle makes the work of the bidirectional screw rod 305 and the movable box 303 more labor-saving.

[0031] In this embodiment, a cleaning structure 4 is provided at the front and rear ends of the box body 1, and the cleaning structure 4 includes a slide groove 401, which is opened at the top end of the front and rear ends of the box body 1, and a brush plate 402 is slidably installed inside the slide groove 401, and a plurality of bristles 403 are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the brush plate 402. Both ends of the brush plate 402 are fixedly connected with a connecting plate 404, and a movable column 405 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 404 away from the box body 1.

[0032] The cleaning structure 4 can clean the padding above the filter screen 301, so that the replacement of the padding is more thorough without any residue.

[0033] In this embodiment, the contact surface between the brush plate 402 and the slide groove 401 is in an "H"-shaped structure, and the bristles 403 are soft bristles.

[0034] The "H"-shaped structure plays a limiting role, so that the brush plate 402 can only move along the slide groove 401, and is more stable during displacement. The bristles 403 are soft bristles, so that the bristles 403 will not affect rodents when cleaning the filter 301.

[0035] In this embodiment, the box cover 2 is composed of a plurality of horizontal bars and vertical bars, and one side of the box cover 2 is a "V"-shaped structure.

[0036] The box cover 2 can be connected to the outside world to provide a necessary living environment for rodents. The "V"-shaped structure is convenient for feeding water and food, so that the water bottle can be stuck on the box cover 2.

[0037] It should be noted that the utility model is a rodent breeding box involved in the study of rodent nutritional metabolism. When in use, by rotating the bidirectional screw 305, the adjustment block 306 moves in the opposite direction, thereby driving the top plate 308 to move downward through the connecting block 307, and the top plate 308 drives the movable plate 304 to move downward along the inside of the movable box 303, so that the bedding above the filter 301 in the box body 1 and the metabolites produced by the rodents fall into the inside of the movable box 303 and between the movable plate 304 through the gap of the filter 301, and the bedding can be replaced by pulling out the movable box 303 and the movable plate 304 in the movable groove 302, and then the movable box 303 and the movable plate 304 are slid and installed into the movable groove 302 again, and the top plate 308 can be lifted up by rotating the bidirectional screw 305 in the opposite direction, and the movable plate 304 can be lifted up through the adjustment groove 309, so that the movable plate 304 is in close contact with the filter 301, thereby playing the role of replacing the bedding;

[0038] After the movable plate 304 is lowered, there may be some bedding left on the top of the filter 301. At this time, by pushing the movable column 405, the movable column 405 drives the connecting plate 404 and the brush plate 402 to move along the slide groove 401, so that the bristles 403 clean the surface of the filter 301, so that the bedding completely falls into the movable box 303, and the bristles 403 are soft and will not cause adverse effects on rodents.

[0039] The above shows and describes the basic principle and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection claimed by the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
