[0033] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific implementation examples in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a primate urine collection device, including four columns 1 arranged diagonally in pairs, and a first bracket 2, a second bracket 3 and a third bracket 4 are arranged between the four columns 1 from top to bottom in sequence; the first bracket 2, the second bracket 3 and the third bracket 4 all include a U-shaped frame 21 connected to the column 1, and a connecting plate 22 arranged between the U-shaped frame 21, the connecting plate 22 is an angle steel, and a through hole 23 is arranged on it; a primate feeding cage 6 is arranged on the connecting plate 22 of the first bracket 2, and the feeding cage 6 is a square grid structure, and the feeding cage 6 is fixed by screws arranged on the through hole 23; a urine filter 7 is arranged on the connecting plate 22 of the second bracket 3; a urine collecting funnel 8 is arranged on the connecting plate 22 of the third bracket 4, and the urine collecting funnel 8 is fixed by screws arranged on the through hole 23, a drainage tube 81 is arranged at the bottom of the urine collecting funnel 8, and a urine collecting cup 9 is arranged below the drainage tube 81.

[0035] The above technical solution, by setting up a multi-layer bracket, connecting the animal feeding cage, the urine filter net and the urine collection funnel, filters feces, food residues and other debris from the urine, and realizes the collection of pure urine from primates. The device does not require a large number of manpower to guard, saves time and effort, and can collect urine repeatedly. At the same time, the animal feeding cage, the urine filter net, and the urine collection funnel are arranged in a drawer-like manner, which is convenient for them to be cleaned independently, and can be reused, making the device easy to maintain.

[0036] The inlet of the drainage tube 81 is connected to the bottom of the urine collecting funnel 8; the inlet of the drainage tube is wedge-shaped, and the outlet is in the shape of a water drop, which has a slow flow effect and prevents urine from splashing. A bottom tray 5 is also provided below the urine collecting funnel 8, and the bottom tray 5 is a plate; a urine collecting cup 9 is placed between the bottom tray 5 and the urine collecting funnel 8, and the urine collecting cup 9 maintains a suitable distance from the urine collecting funnel 8 to further prevent urine from splashing. The outer surface of the urine collecting cup 9 is provided with a scale, which is convenient for recording the amount of urine collected and for experimenters to grasp the experimental data. A universal wheel is provided at the bottom of the column 1, and the universal wheel is provided with a locking piece, which is convenient for moving the urine collection device to any desired position.

[0037] The method of using the primate urine collection device provided by the utility model is as follows:

[0038] The experimental primates are placed in cages with door locks, which do not require a large number of people to guard. When the animals defecate, the urine enters the urine filter layer from the hole at the bottom of the cage. The urine filter layer separates the feces and food residues, and then the urine enters the urine collection funnel, and then slowly flows from the urine collection funnel into the urine collection cup. The urine collection cup is set with a scale. When the collected urine volume meets the experimental requirements, the urine collection cup can be removed and replaced to enter the next round of urine collection.

[0039] When the breeding cage is dirty, the fixing screws of the breeding cage can be taken out, and the cage can be pulled out from the first bracket like a drawer, and cleaned separately to achieve the effect of repeated use; if it is damaged, only the breeding cage needs to be replaced, and other parts do not need to be replaced, which is convenient for the maintenance of the urine collection device.

[0040] When the urine filter is dirty, the urine filter can be pulled out from the second bracket like a drawer and cleaned separately to achieve the effect of reuse; if it is damaged, only the urine filter needs to be replaced, and other parts do not need to be replaced, which facilitates the maintenance of the urine collection device.

[0041] When the urine collecting funnel is dirty, the fixing screws of the urine collecting funnel can be removed, and the funnel can be pulled out from the third bracket like a drawer, and cleaned separately to achieve the effect of reuse; if it is damaged, only the urine collecting funnel needs to be replaced, and other parts do not need to be replaced, which facilitates the maintenance of the urine collecting device.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the utility model.
