Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an apparatus for animal experiments, in particular to a detachable cage swing rod suitable for group-raising experimental monkeys. Background Art

[0002] Monkeys are lively and active social animals. To ensure animal welfare, the current method of enriching the cage environment of group-housed experimental monkeys usually involves providing cage toys and palatable food.

[0003] The existing environmental enrichment facilities in group-reared experimental monkey cages are mostly ladders, swings, etc. that are installed integrally with the cages and cannot be disassembled. Some users also artificially make cage toys for group-reared monkeys using materials such as cables and tires.

[0004] Non-detachable ladders, swings and other facilities that are installed integrally with the cage are expensive and have certain restrictions on their installation locations. They are usually not easily disassembled or installed according to the conditions of the animals in the cage and the needs of the users. Long-term breeding and use of animals can easily lead to boredom, thus losing the enrichment effect. Although self-made cage toys for group-raised monkeys are low-cost and can be adjusted manually according to the conditions of the animals, they take a long time to make and install, the finished products are not durable, and are difficult to clean and disinfect after use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a detachable cage swing rod suitable for group-rearing experimental monkeys, so as to well meet the swinging and shaking exercise needs of the monkeys under artificial breeding conditions.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is as follows:

[0007] The utility model discloses a detachable cage swing rod suitable for group-raising experimental monkeys, which is characterized by comprising a vertical rod and a universal joint, wherein the upper end of the vertical rod is fixedly connected to the universal joint, and a protruding structure arranged at vertical intervals is provided on the middle and lower rod body of the vertical rod; the universal joint is detachably connected to a U-shaped connecting piece by a connecting bolt, and the U-shaped connecting piece is fixedly connected to the top structure of the breeding cage.

[0008] The beneficial effects of the utility model are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0009] 1. The swing rod is detachably connected to the top structure of the breeding cage. The swing rod can be installed in different positions and quantities according to different usage scenarios and is easy to disassemble.

[0010] Second, the upper end of the vertical rod is fixedly connected to the universal joint, and the swing rod can swing in any direction, which is in line with the monkey's lively and active nature. Under artificial breeding conditions, it can well meet the monkey's exercise habits of climbing and swinging in the wild;

[0011] 3. The yo-yo rod has a raised structure on the rod body, which is convenient for the monkey to grasp and shake, and also has a certain anti-slip effect to avoid accidental slipping and injury;

[0012] 4. The whole body is made of stainless steel, which has the advantages of easy cleaning and disinfection and good durability; the material is cheap and easy to obtain, which helps to reduce costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0013] This specification includes the following drawing:

[0014] Figure 1 The utility model is a structural schematic diagram of a detachable cage swing rod suitable for group-raising experimental monkeys.

[0015] The figure shows the components and corresponding marks: a vertical rod 10, a universal joint 11, a protruding structure 12, a top structure 20 of the breeding cage, a U-shaped connecting piece 21, and a connecting bolt 22. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] Reference Figure 1 The utility model is a detachable cage swing rod suitable for group-rearing experimental monkeys, comprising a vertical rod 10 and a universal joint 11. The upper end of the vertical rod 10 is fixedly connected to the universal joint 11. The universal joint 11 is detachably connected to a U-shaped connector 21 through a connecting bolt 22. The U-shaped connector 21 is fixedly connected to the top structure 20 of the cage. The swing rod can be shaken in any direction, which is in line with the monkey's lively and active nature. Under artificial breeding conditions, it can well meet the monkey's climbing and swinging habits in the wild. The swing rod can adjust the installation position and quantity according to different usage scenarios, and is easy to disassemble.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 In order to facilitate the monkey to grasp and shake, and also to have a certain anti-slip effect to avoid accidental slipping and injury, the lower part of the vertical rod 10 has a vertically spaced raised structure 12, which can usually be a ring or a spherical shell welded on the surface of the vertical rod 10.

[0019] In order to facilitate cleaning and disinfection and improve durability, the vertical rod 10, the universal joint 11, the protruding structure 12 and the U-shaped connecting piece 21 are all made of stainless steel.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 The top structure of the breeding cage is usually a longitudinal bar or a cross bar on the top of the breeding cage.

[0021] The above description is only to illustrate some principles of the utility model of a detachable cage swing rod suitable for group-raising experimental monkeys, and is not intended to limit the utility model to the specific structure and applicable scope shown and described. Therefore, all corresponding modifications and equivalents that may be used belong to the patent scope applied for by the utility model.
