DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] See also Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a mouse experimental table, which includes: a table body 100, the table body 100 includes a table top 110, and an experimental part 120 is arranged at the center of the table top 110; a fixing mechanism 200, the fixing mechanism 200 includes four limb fixing components 220, a neck fixing component 230, two waist and abdomen fixing components 210 and a tail fixing component 240, wherein the two waist and abdomen fixing components 210 are respectively arranged on both sides of the experimental part 120, and correspond to the waist and abdomen positions of the experimental mouse, any waist and abdomen fixing component 210 includes a driving member 211, a pushing rod 212 and a fixing plate 213, the pushing rod 212 is arranged at the working end of the driving member 211, and the fixing plate 213 is arranged at one end of the pushing rod 212 facing the experimental part 120, and the two fixing plates 213 move synchronously towards / away from the experimental part 120 to clamp / release the mouse.

[0026] The mouse experimental platform described in the utility model can clamp and fix the limbs, neck, tail, waist and abdomen of the mouse through the fixing mechanism 200, and can fix the mouse as a whole without hurting the mouse as much as possible, thereby reducing the change in the concentration of biomacromolecules caused by the stress response of the mouse. At the same time, it can also fully expose the waist and abdomen of the mouse in a long-term and stable manner, thereby making the subsequent operation process smoother. Compared with the traditional experimental platform, the present application has the advantages of high clamping stability, little harm to the experimental mouse, and easy to fully expose the waist and abdomen of the mouse. It is a new type of mouse experimental platform with broad application prospects.

[0027] See also Figure 1 As shown, the table 110 in this embodiment is a rectangular plate with a certain thickness, and a rectangular experimental part 120 is arranged in the center thereof. Specifically, the experimental part 120 in this embodiment is arranged as a blind groove sunken downward from the upper surface of the table 110. During the actual experimental operation, the mouse is located in the blind groove. Furthermore, the bottom surface of the experimental part 120 in this embodiment can also be connected to a waste liquid recovery device, thereby preventing the waste liquid during the experiment from contaminating the table 110.

[0028] by Figure 1The mouse test bench shown is a reference object. The two waist and abdomen fixing components 210 in this embodiment are arranged at intervals on both sides of the experimental part 120 along the left and right directions. The two waist and abdomen fixing devices can squeeze and clamp the waist and abdomen of the mouse from the left and right sides, thereby reducing the activity space of the waist and abdomen of the mouse to achieve the purpose of fully exposing the abdomen of the mouse. Further, the driving member 211 in this embodiment is preferably a driving motor, and the push rod 212 and the fixed plate 213 are connected to the working end of the driving member 211 in sequence. The driving motor is used to provide driving force for the movement of the push rod 212 and the fixed plate 213. The push rod 212 is preferably a telescopic rod, thereby expanding the moving distance of the fixed plate 213 without increasing the volume of the waist and abdomen fixing component 210, so that the test bench has a larger scope of application. In other embodiments, the driving member 211 can also be set as other devices with driving effects such as a cylinder, and the utility model does not make specific restrictions on this. Specifically, one of the waist and abdomen fixing components 210 also includes at least one tie hole 214, which is connected to the table 110 and located on one side of the experimental part 120. The fixing plate 213 is connected to the tie hole 214 through a tie. In this embodiment, one of the waist and abdomen fixing components 210 includes two tie holes 214, which are arranged on the periphery of the experimental part 120 on the same side. When the waist and abdomen fixing component 210 moves to the target position, the operator can make one end of the tie pass through and connect to the corresponding fixing plate 213, and the other end connect to the corresponding tie hole 214, thereby limiting the installation position of the corresponding fixing plate 213 to avoid the squeezing and fixing effect of the fixing plate 213 being affected by the struggling activities of the mouse. In this embodiment, the fixing plate 213 extends along the length direction of the experimental part 120, thereby maximizing the fitting area and squeezing stability between the fixing plate 213 and the experimental mouse.

[0029] See also Figure 1As shown, the four limb fixing components 220 surround the experimental part 120 and are arranged corresponding to the mouse limbs. Any of the limb fixing components 220 includes a fixing ring 223, and the mouse limbs are correspondingly arranged in the four limb fixing rings 223. Further, the limb fixing component 220 also includes a first slide 221 and a first slider 222, the first slider 222 is slidably embedded in the first slide 221, and the fixing ring 223 is connected to the slider. In this embodiment, the limbs of the experimental mouse are respectively set and fixed in the four fixing rings 223, and the four first slides 221 extend in the direction away from the experimental part 120. At the same time, the movement of the first slider 222 in the first slide 221 can make the test bench suitable for mice of different sizes, thereby expanding the scope of use of the test bench. Specifically, the limb fixing component 220 also includes a stop mechanism 224, and the stop mechanism 224 is arranged inside the first slide 221. In this embodiment, the anti-recognition mechanism 224 is preferably a rack, which can increase the sliding friction of the first slider 222. When the first slider 222 is not subjected to a sufficiently large external force, the anti-recognition mechanism 224 can prevent the relative sliding between the first slider 222 and the first slide groove 221, thereby improving the stability of the mouse fixation.

[0030] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the neck fixing assembly 230 is arranged on one side of the experimental part 120 and is arranged corresponding to the position of the mouse neck, and includes a first clamping plate 231, a second clamping plate 232 and a return member 233. The return member 233 and the first clamping plate 231 are connected to the second clamping plate 232 in sequence. The first clamping plate 231, the second clamping plate 232 and the return member 233 jointly enclose a neck clamping space, and the mouse neck is located in the neck clamping space. Further, the neck fixing assembly 230 also includes a second slide groove 235 and a second slider 234. The second slider 234 is slidably embedded in the second slide groove 235, and the second clamping plate 232 is connected to the second slider 234. During the experiment, the operator can pull up the first clamping plate 231, thereby increasing the neck clamping space, and then insert the mouse's neck into the neck clamping space and release the pulling force on the first clamping plate 231, so that the mouse's neck can be clamped and fixed. Similarly, the second slider 234 and the second slide groove 235 can also be adaptively adjusted according to the actual size of the mouse, thereby expanding the scope of use of this experimental table.

[0031] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the tail fixing assembly 240 is arranged on one side of the experimental part 120 and corresponds to the mouse tail, and includes a mounting post 241 and a buckle ring 242, and the buckle ring 242 is connected to the table 110 through the mounting post 241. In this embodiment, the mouse tail is inserted into the buckle ring 242, and the operator fixes the mouse tail by adjusting the circle of the buckle ring 242.

[0032] Embodiment 2

[0033] This embodiment provides an experimental system, which includes the mouse experimental platform described in the first embodiment.

[0034] In summary, the mouse experimental platform and experimental system described in the present invention can clamp and fix the mouse's limbs, neck, tail, waist and abdomen through the fixing mechanism 200, and can fix the mouse as a whole without harming the mouse as much as possible, thereby reducing the changes in the concentration of biological macromolecules caused by the stress response of the mouse. At the same time, it can also fully expose the mouse's waist and abdomen in a long-term and stable manner, thereby making the subsequent operation process smoother. Compared with traditional test benches, the present application has the advantages of high clamping stability, little harm to experimental mice, and easy to fully expose the mouse's waist and abdomen. It is a new mouse experimental platform and experimental system with broad application prospects.
