Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of animal experiments, and in particular relates to a protective ring worn by small animals used in experiments. Background Art
[0002] Elizabethan collars are trumpet-shaped tools that are worn around the necks of sick pets (cats and dogs) to prevent them from licking or biting the affected area or scratching their heads with their claws, and to protect wounds. Traditional Elizabethan collars are too large to be suitable for small animals, and the neck cannot be adjusted, making it inconvenient for animals to eat, which limits their application. Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model aims to solve the defects mentioned in the above background technology by proposing a protective ring worn by small animals used in experiments.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is as follows:
[0005] The utility model provides a protective ring for small animals used in experiments, comprising an outer fan-shaped surface and an inner fabric layer, wherein the first and last ends of the fan-shaped surface are detachably connected by a Velcro front surface and a Velcro back surface respectively, and then put on the neck of the small animal to form protection, and the Velcro front surface and the fan-shaped surface are connected by an elastic bandage;
[0006] A circle of silicone inner band is arranged at the bottom of the inner surface of the fan surface, and the bottom edge of the silicone inner band is rolled inward to form a circular ring-shaped flange, and a plurality of vertically upward rubber rods are arranged on the circular ring-shaped flange.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model: the fan surface is flattened into a fan shape with a round hole in the middle.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model: the fan surface is connected end to end to form a trumpet shape with one end larger and the other end smaller.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model: the width of the fabric layer is greater than the width of the fan surface, so that the upper and lower edges of the fabric layer are exposed to form a hem.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model: the cloth layer includes an inner cotton cloth layer and an outer silver fiber layer.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model: the fan surface is made of PVC material.
[0012] The utility model can prevent the golden hamster used in the experiment from using its claws to push out the test object in the buccal pouch when doing the oral stimulation test, thereby increasing the success rate of the test. The modified collar is also suitable for the corresponding animal experiments of rats and mice. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0018] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this embodiment can be combined with each other. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0019] Reference Figure 1-4 The preferred embodiment of the utility model provides a protective ring for small animals to be worn in experiments, including an outer fan-shaped surface 1 and an inner fabric layer 2. The head and tail ends of the fan-shaped surface 1 are detachably connected by a Velcro front side 4 and a Velcro back side 5, and then put on the neck of the small animal to form protection. The Velcro front side 4 and the fan-shaped surface 1 are connected by an elastic bandage 3. The fan-shaped surface is flattened into a fan-shaped shape with a round hole in the middle. After the head and tail of the fan-shaped surface are connected, it is a trumpet shape with one end larger and the other end smaller. The fan-shaped surface 1 is made of PVC, with an outer arc edge diameter of 8.0 cm, an inner arc edge diameter of 3.0 cm, and two straight side edges of 2.5 cm long. It is suitable for small experimental animals, especially golden hamsters, rats, and even mice, and does not affect diet. In this embodiment, the use of golden hamsters is taken as an example.
[0020] Secondly, because the diameter of the neck and head of a golden hamster is similar to that of a cat or dog, if it pushes forward with its claws, the protective ring will fall off from the front of its head. The present application makes the following improvements: a circle of silicone inner band 6 is provided at the bottom of the inner surface of the fan 1, and the bottom edge of the silicone inner band 6 is rolled inward to form a circular flange 7, and a number of rubber rods 8 are provided on the circular flange 7. Since the friction of the silicone material is relatively large, when the golden hamster pushes the protective ring forward with its claws, the friction will cause the circular flange 7 to rotate backward, thereby causing the rubber rods 8 on the circular flange 7 to rotate inward, forming a locking structure with the neck of the golden hamster to prevent it from falling off, and at the same time, the rubber rods 8 will not damage the skin of the golden hamster.
[0021] The width of the fabric layer 2 is greater than the width of the fan surface 1, so that the upper and lower edges of the fabric layer 2 are exposed to form a hem, which effectively protects the neck and head of the experimental animal and prevents abrasion.
[0022] The fabric layer 2 includes an inner cotton layer 21 and an outer silver fiber layer 22. The cotton layer 21 has excellent skin affinity and air permeability, can effectively protect the animals and ensure their comfort when wearing, while the silver fiber layer 22 has efficient bactericidal and antibacterial properties, can ensure that the wounds of the animals are prevented from being infected during the experiment.
[0023] During specific use, the front and back sides of the Velcro are pasted together. Because the front side 4 of the Velcro and the side of the fan 1 are connected by an elastic bandage 3, there is a certain elastic space, so it can ensure that the force on the animal's neck is moderate, and it will not cause suffocation injury to the animal or the collar to fall off.
[0024] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be regarded as limiting the claim to which it relates.
[0025] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
