Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a mouse swimming experiment box, belonging to the technical field of experimental animal technical index determination. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in forced swimming tests, mice are placed in a container filled with water and have to swim continuously to avoid drowning. Experimenters usually observe the behavior of mice in the water, the time they swim, and the way they move to study their behavioral and physiological changes under stressful conditions.

[0003] In this context, special experimental devices for mouse swimming experiments have also been developed in the prior art, for example: the patent "A device for mouse swimming experiments" with application number CN202220629883.2, which can avoid mutual interference between mice during the swimming process and the fluctuation of water temperature caused by the external environment temperature, and can maintain the constant temperature of the water to improve the accuracy of the experimental results; and can facilitate the removal of mice after the experiment, and dry the removed mice in time to avoid mice from getting sick or dying; at the same time, it can facilitate the replacement of water.

[0004] However, in the mouse swimming experiment, studying and recording the behavior and physiological responses of mice in different environments and temperatures can better understand the impact of the environment on mice, thereby providing a scientific reference for experimental design. However, the existing experimental equipment does not have the above experimental conditions, so a dedicated experimental equipment is needed to meet the experimental needs. Summary of the invention

[0022] In order to make the content of the utility model more clearly understood, the utility model is further described in detail below based on specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a mouse swimming experiment box, which includes a box body 1. The box body 1 of this embodiment adopts a transparent acrylic plate or transparent glass, which is convenient for directly observing the swimming conditions of mice during the experiment.

[0024] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a heating base is arranged on the bottom inner wall of the box 1 of this embodiment, and a swimming pool 3 is arranged on the heating base. The swimming pool 3 is made of glass, and the water in the swimming pool 3 is heated by the heating base. Figure 1 As shown, the heating base of this embodiment includes a metal base 21 and a heating rod 22. A plurality of mounting holes are opened in the metal base 21. The heating rod 22 is arranged in the mounting holes. The heating rod 22 adopts a temperature-controlled heating rod 22, which can heat the water in the swimming pool 3 to a specified temperature, and is used to test the swimming state of mice under different water temperatures.

[0025] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the swimming pool 3 of this embodiment is provided with a plurality of independent swimming lanes 4, each of which is used for a mouse to perform a swimming experiment, and the mice in each independent swimming lane 4 do not interfere with each other. Five independent swimming lanes 4 are provided in the figure, and the number of swimming lanes 4 can be determined according to the experimental needs, and the size of the swimming lanes 4 can be customized according to the body size of the mouse. Figure 1 As shown, the swimming lane 4 of this embodiment includes a water tank 41 and a filter 42. The bottom of the water tank 41 is hollowed out, and the filter 42 is fixed to the bottom of the water tank 41. A handle 43 is provided on the front side wall of the water tank 41 for easy placement and removal. Before the experiment, the mice are first placed in the swimming lane 4, and then each independent swimming lane 4 is placed in the swimming pool 3. The swimming lane 4 is composed of a water tank 41 and a filter 42. After the swimming lane 4 is placed in the swimming pool 3, the water in the swimming pool 3 can enter the water tank 41 of the swimming lane 4 through the filter 42. When the swimming lane 4 is taken out, the water can be filtered out from the filter 42. In addition, the filter 42 can also filter the excrement of the mice to prevent the excrement from contaminating the water in the swimming pool 3. A water level scale is provided on the swimming pool 3 to control the water level in the swimming pool 3. Different experiments require different water levels.

[0026] like Figure 2 , 5 As shown, a card slot 8 is provided on the rear side of the top outer wall 11 of the box body 1 of this embodiment, and the light shielding plug plate 6 is inserted into the card slot 8. The left outer wall 12, the right outer wall 13 and the bottom of the rear outer wall of the box body 1 are all provided with a card slot 8, and the light shielding plug plate 6 is inserted into the card slot 8. The thickness of the light shielding plug plate 6 matches the notch size of the card slot 8, so as to ensure that the light shielding plug plate 6 is closely fitted with each outer wall. Another card slot can also be arranged on each outer wall at a position opposite to the original card slot 8 to further improve the fit between the light shielding plug plate 6 and each outer wall.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, one side of the shading movable plate 7 of this embodiment is rotatably connected to the front outer wall of the box body 1 through a hinge, a magnet 71 is provided on the other side of the shading movable plate 7, and an iron sheet 72 attracted to the magnet 71 is provided on the front outer wall of the box body 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, the shading plug plate 6 and the shading movable plate 7 are both black shading plates. During the experiment, if a completely dark environment is required, the shading plug plates 6 can be inserted on the top, left side, right side and rear side of the box 1, and then the shading movable plate 7 can be closed to simulate a completely dark environment.

[0029] like Figure 6 As shown, a camera 5 is arranged on the top inner wall of the box 1 of this embodiment, and the camera 5 adopts an infrared night vision camera. In a completely dark environment, the infrared night vision camera can be turned on to observe the swimming state of the mouse in the completely dark environment.
