DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0017] Example

[0018] See also Figure 1-4The portable rat open field experiment device comprises a middle block 1, and the middle block 1 has bottom plates 2 symmetrically hinged on both sides. The bottom plates 2 on both sides can be unfolded 180 degrees. The top surface of the bottom plate 2 on each side is provided with enclosures 3 on the other three sides except the hinged side. The height of the enclosures 3 is lower than the main board 4. The main board 4 is provided on the front and rear sides of the bottom plate 2. The main board 4 is located in the enclosure 3. A row of plug-in blocks 5 are provided on the bottom surface of the main board 4. The front and rear sides of the top of the bottom plate 2 are provided with plug-in holes 6 corresponding to the plug-in blocks 5. At least one side of the left and right sides of the bottom plate 2 is provided with side plates 7. Both sides of the main board 4 are provided with slots. The sides of the side plates 7 are plugged into the slots. The main board and the side plates are foldable as a whole. The left and right sides of the top surface of the bottom plate 2 are provided with limit grooves 17 corresponding to the bottom of the side plate 7. After the front and rear sides of the side plate 7 are plugged into the main board 4, the bottom of the side plate 7 will be plugged into the limit grooves 17, which can increase the overall stability of the side plate 7. A moving handle 18 is provided on one side of the bottom plate.

[0019] Hollow fixing rods 8 are provided on the front and rear sides of the middle block 1, and an adjusting frame 9 is inserted in the fixing rod 8. A camera 10 is installed on the top of the adjusting frame 9. Fastening bolts 11 are provided at the joints between the adjusting frame 9 and the fixing rod 8. Connecting components are provided on the front and rear sides of the enclosure 3. Two threaded holes 12 are provided on the top surfaces of the bottom plates 2 on both sides. When the bottom plates 2 on both sides are unfolded, four threads form a rectangle or square in the middle of the unfolded state of the bottom plates 2 on both sides. A vertical socket 13 is threadedly connected to each threaded hole 12, and sub-board slots are respectively provided on the four sides of the vertical socket 13. Four sub-boards 14 form an open field experimental space in the middle, and the sides of the four sub-boards 14 are respectively inserted in the sub-board slots.

[0020] The connecting assembly includes a rotating hook 15 , which is rotatably connected to the enclosure 3 . A connecting column 16 is provided on the bottom plate outside the enclosure 3 , and the position of the connecting column 16 corresponds to the position of the rotating hook 15 .

[0021] When conducting a rat open field experiment, the operator can unfold the bottom plates 2 on both sides of the middle block 1 by 180 degrees, then unfold the main board 4 and the side panels 7, and plug the plug blocks 5 on both sides of the bottom of the main board 4 into the corresponding jacks 6 on the top of the bottom plate 2, and then plug the two sides of the side panels 7 into the slots on both sides of the main board 4. At this time, the side panels 7 and the main board 4 can form a space relative to the outside of the open field, and then thread the bottom of the vertical socket 13 into the threaded hole 12 at the top of the bottom plate 2, and plug four secondary boards 14 into the outer notches of the vertical socket 13, finally forming the space required for the open field experiment. At the same time, the operator installs the camera 10 on the upper side of the adjustment frame 9, and can adjust the height position of the adjustment frame 9 and the camera 10 along the fixing rod 8, and after the adjustment, use the fastening bolts 11 to fix the adjusted position of the adjustment frame 9, and then the rat open field experiment can be carried out.

[0022] After the experiment, the operator can remove the main board 4, the side panels 7, the vertical socket 13 and the secondary board 14, and then rotate the bottom panels 2 on both sides of the middle block 1 at an angle of 90 degrees. At this time, the enclosures 3 on the top of the bottom panels 2 will be close to each other and form a relatively closed space. At this time, the operator can fold the main board 4 and the side panels 7, and place the main board 4, the side panels 7, the vertical socket 13 and the secondary board 14 inside the space formed by the two enclosures 3, and then rotate the rotating hook 15 to overlap the rotating hook 15 with the corresponding connecting column 16, so that the two bottom panels 2 can be connected to each other. At this time, the operator can use the moving handle 18 to move the device as a whole.

[0023] In the present technical solution, the device as a whole is foldable, and the internal parts of the device are also foldable, and the internal parts of the device can be stored after folding, thereby greatly reducing the overall volume of the device and making it easier for operators to carry and move.

[0024] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
