Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of biomedical research auxiliary equipment, and more specifically, to a protective device for experimental mouse transport cages. Background Art

[0002] Laboratory mice are one of the most widely used experimental animals in scientific research. They play an irreplaceable role in the study of gene function, analysis of disease mechanisms, and drug screening. The advantages of laboratory mice are not only that their genes are highly similar to those of humans, but also that they are small in size, easy to raise and manage, and reproduce quickly. These characteristics allow researchers to easily control experimental conditions and quickly obtain a large number of research samples with consistent genetic backgrounds.

[0003] In the field of biomedical research, it is often necessary to transfer experimental mice from one place to another, such as from a laboratory to an animal room or different experimental sites. The traditional method of transportation is to place a group of experimental mice in a transfer box. The problem with this transportation method is that all the experimental mice are in the same space, and these experimental mice may fight with each other, causing damage to individual experimental mice and affecting the normal progress of subsequent experiments. In addition, during the transportation process, the instability of the cage may also cause damage to individual experimental mice.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, the present application proposes a protective device for experimental mouse transport cage. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model aims to provide a protective device for an experimental mouse transport cage.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a protective device for experimental mouse transport cage, comprising a transfer box body, a box door and a door handle arranged on the box door, a plurality of fixing components for fixing experimental mice in the transfer box body are arranged in the cavity formed by the transfer box body, and a storage component for placing experimental mice is arranged in the fixing component.

[0007] Furthermore, a single fixing assembly includes a fixing box arranged in the transfer box body, and movable plates are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixing box, and the movable plates can slide within the side edges of the fixing box.

[0008] Furthermore, a spring is arranged between the two movable plates, and a single movable plate is provided with a block for cooperating with the storage assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the storage component comprises a storage box, the storage box is provided with a box door, a cavity formed in the storage box is provided with an experimental mouse placement area, and a feed placement area is provided on one side of the storage box.

[0010] Furthermore, the box door is provided with a plurality of isolation fences for preventing the experimental mice from escaping, and the bottom of the storage box is symmetrically provided with U-shaped card slots for connecting with the card blocks.

[0011] Furthermore, a plurality of universal wheels for transfer are arranged at the bottom of the transfer box body, a plurality of ventilation holes for ventilation in the transfer box body are arranged on the box door, and filters are arranged in the ventilation holes.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. In the utility model, by arranging a plurality of separate storage boxes in the transfer box body, the experimental mice can be stored separately in one area, so that they will not fight with other experimental mice. At the same time, a fixing component is arranged in the transfer box body to effectively fix the storage box, so that during the transportation process, the experimental mice will not shake around in the transfer box body, thereby causing individual casualties of the experimental mice. This solves the problem in the background technology that the traditional transportation method is to put a group of experimental mice in one transfer box, which is easy to cause individual casualties of the experimental mice;

[0014] 2. In the utility model, universal wheels are arranged at the bottom of the transfer box, and a filter is arranged in the ventilation hole of the box door. This has the advantage that the experimenter can save more effort during the transfer, and the filter can effectively filter the air from the outside that enters the transfer box body, thereby preventing environmental bacteria in the air from entering the transfer box body, providing a safe storage environment for experimental mice.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the utility model provides a protective device for experimental mouse transport cages, including a transfer box body 1, a box door 7 and a door handle 3 arranged on the box door 7, a plurality of fixing components 6 for fixing experimental mice in the transfer box body 1 are arranged in the cavity formed by the transfer box body 1, and a storage component 5 for placing experimental mice is arranged in the fixing component 6.

[0024] A single fixed component 6 includes a fixed box 61 arranged in the transfer box body 1, and movable plates 62 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixed box 61, and the movable plates 62 can slide in the side edges of the fixed box 61. A spring 64 is arranged between the two movable plates 62, and a single movable plate 62 is provided with a block 63 for cooperating with the storage component 5.

[0025] The storage component 5 includes a storage box 55, which is provided with a box door 51. An experimental mouse placement area 54 is provided in a cavity formed in the storage box 55. A feed placement area 53 is provided on one side of the storage box 55. The box door 51 is provided with a plurality of isolation fences 52 for preventing the experimental mice from escaping. The bottom of the storage box 55 is symmetrically provided with U-shaped slots 56 for engaging with the card block 63.

[0026] A plurality of universal wheels 4 for transfer are arranged at the bottom of the transfer box body 1, and a plurality of ventilation holes 2 for ventilation inside the transfer box body 1 are arranged on the box door 7, and a filter net is arranged in the ventilation hole 2. The purpose of arranging the universal wheels 4 here is to save the experimenter more effort in the process of carrying the transfer box body 1, and the purpose of arranging the filter net is to provide a sterile storage environment for the experimental mice in the transfer box body 1.

[0027] Working principle: The experimenter first puts the experimental mouse into the experimental mouse placement area 54 in the storage box 55, and then puts the food needed for the experimental mouse to survive in the feed placement 53 in the storage box 55, and then closes the box door 51. The several isolation fences 52 set on the box door 51 can effectively prevent the experimental mouse from running out, and then pick up the storage box 55 with the experimental mouse placed. The experimenter presses the moving plate 62 with his other hand, and the two moving plates 62 move relative to each other, so that the spring 64 between the two moving plates 62 will be compressed, and the storage box 55 is placed in the fixed box 61, and then the experimenter releases the moving plate 62. The spring 64 will restore its deformation, and then the blocks 63 on the two movable plates 62 will enter the U-shaped slots 56 at the bottom of the storage box 55, thereby fixing the storage box 55. In this way, the storage box 55 will not shake during the transportation process. Then close the door 7 of the transfer box body 1, and then the experimenter will transport the transfer box. The universal wheels 4 arranged at the bottom of the transfer box body 1 can make the transfer box body 1 transport more quickly. The ventilation holes 2 on the door 7 ensure that the experimental mice in the transfer box body 1 can get sufficient oxygen. At the same time, the filtration in the ventilation holes can provide a safe storage environment for the experimental mice.
