[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a small animal exhaled breath condensate collection device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The connecting tube is connected to the mouth of the small animal through the provided connecting plate, and coolant is added to the liquid storage tank, so that the gas exhaled by the small animal enters the collecting tube along the connecting tube, and the gas is blown onto the inner wall of the circumferential side of the collecting bottle through the through groove, so that the gas spirally descends along the circumferential inner wall of the collecting bottle, and the pump and the refrigerator body are started, and the pump sends the coolant into the spiral tube to cool the collecting bottle. When the gas spirally descends along the collecting bottle, it is fully cooled by the coolant, which is conducive to preventing the small animal's exhaled gas from not being able to fully contact the circumferential inner wall of the collecting bottle for condensation and collection, affecting the device's detection of the small animal's exhaled gas. In order to improve the collection and condensation effect, the spring drives the rotating frame to rotate, the rotating frame clamps the fixed plate, starts the motor, the motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, the rotating shaft drives the rotating plate to rotate, the rotating plate drives the clamping block to rotate, the clamping block drives the collecting bottle to rotate, and the scraper moves the cylinder along the circumferential side of the collecting bottle. The scraper scrapes off the condensed liquid attached to the circumferential inner wall of the collecting bottle, so that the condensed liquid collected by the device slides quickly along the collecting bottle, which is helpful to prevent too much collected liquid from adhering to the circumferential inner wall of the collecting bottle, resulting in the subsequent gas entering the collecting bottle cannot be collected by the condensation of the device, affecting the collection effect of the device on the exhaled gas of small animals.
