[0034] Example:
[0035] See also Figure 1-Figure 3The utility model provides a transport counting box for experimental mice. In practical application, in order to solve the problem that the number of experimental mice is inconsistent with the demand when they are packed, the utility model includes a delivery box 1, a counting component 2, a closing mechanism 3, a mouse transmission compartment 4 and a mounting frame 5. The delivery box 1 is open at the top, and the opening is a delivery port 11, and a first opening is provided on one side of the delivery box 1. The delivery box 1 is used to deliver and accommodate experimental mice. The counting component 2 is provided at the delivery port 11, and the counting component 2 is provided at the top of the delivery box 1 to prevent the experimental mice in the delivery box 1 from accidentally touching the counting component 2 when running, causing counting errors. The counting component 2 is used to count the experimental mice placed in the delivery box 1. The experimental mice must pass through the counting component 2 to be counted before entering the delivery box 1 to determine the number of experimental mice entering the delivery box 1. The closing mechanism 3 is arranged at the top of the delivery box 1, and is used to block the delivery port 11. As the number of experimental mice delivered into the delivery box 1 gradually increases, in order to prevent the experimental mice entering the delivery box 1 from escaping from the delivery port 11 or accidentally touching the counting component 2, the delivery port 11 can be blocked by closing the closing mechanism 3. The mouse transmission compartment 4 is a through groove with a U-shaped cross-section. One end of the mouse transmission compartment 4 is arranged at the first opening of the delivery box 1. The mouse transmission compartment 4 is connected to the inside of the delivery box 1 through the first opening. The mouse transmission compartment 4 is used to insert the experimental mouse transport box, so that the experimental mice counted in the delivery box 1 pass through the first opening and the mouse transmission compartment 4 in turn to enter the transport box for collection. The mouse transmission compartment 4 and the delivery box 1 are integrally formed to prevent the gap between the mouse transmission compartment 4 and the delivery box 1 from causing the experimental mice to escape, resulting in deviation in the number of experimental mice packed. The mounting frame 5 is arranged between the delivery box 1 and the mouse transmitter chamber 4. The mounting frame 5 is a plate-like structure. The mounting frame 5 is used to be embedded in the wall of the laboratory to achieve fixed installation of the delivery box 1 and the mouse transmitter chamber 4 and interconnection. At the same time, the mounting frame 5 is used to strengthen the connection strength between the delivery box 1 and the mouse transmitter chamber 4. In this embodiment, when it is necessary to count the experimental mice during transportation, the staff outside the laboratory inserts the transport box into the mouse transmission chamber 4 and waits for the experimental mice to be put into the delivery box 1. At this time, the staff inside the laboratory opens the closing mechanism 3 to open the delivery port 11, and then energizes the counting component 2 to start counting the experimental mice put into the delivery box 1. The screened experimental mice are placed into the delivery box 1 one by one through the counting component 2, and the experimental mice then crawl into the transport box through the mouse transmission chamber 4. After the demand is met, the closing mechanism 3 is closed to ensure that the experimental mice will not flow back and escape from the delivery port 11. After all the experimental mice have entered the transport box, the transport box is taken out and sealed to complete the collection of the experimental mice and ensure the number of experimental mice in each box.In this embodiment, by setting a laboratory mouse transport box in the mouse transfer bin 4, the laboratory mice that have been counted in the delivery box 1 are allowed to enter the laboratory mouse transport box through the mouse transfer bin 4, so that when the number of laboratory mice is large during delivery, the staff will not make mistakes when counting the number of laboratory mice for a long time. That is, it effectively solves the problem of inconsistency between the number and the demand when packing laboratory mice. Preferably, an observation port is also provided at the end of the delivery box 1 away from the first opening, and a transparent plate 13 is provided in the observation port, so that the staff can check whether the laboratory mice put into the transport box to ensure the accuracy of the number of packed laboratory mice.
[0036] In this embodiment, the counting component 2 includes an infrared grating 21 and a technical display screen. The infrared grating 21 is a prior art, which uses multiple infrared light beams to emit infrared light to the receiver in a "low-frequency emission, time-division detection" mode. Once a person or object blocks any two or more adjacent light beams emitted by the transmitter for more than 30ms, the infrared receiver immediately transmits a signal. The infrared transmitter and infrared receiver of the infrared grating 21 are respectively arranged at the top of the delivery box 1 and are respectively assembled on both sides of the delivery port 11 to achieve full coverage of the area at the top of the delivery port 11, so that the number of experimental mice dropped into the delivery box 1 is more accurate. The counting display screen 22 is arranged on the mounting frame 5, and the counting display screen 22 is connected to the infrared grating 21 by telecommunications, so that the staff can check the number of experimental mice dropped at any time.
[0037] In this embodiment, the closure mechanism 3 includes an inclined plate 31, a cover plate 32, two magnetic elements 33 and two locking components 34. The inclined plate 31 is disposed at the top of the delivery box 1, and the inclined plate 31 is fixedly connected to the delivery box 1. The angle between the inclined plate 31 and the fixed delivery box 1 is an acute angle, and the angle between the inclined plate 31 and the mouse transmission chamber 4 is an obtuse angle. On the one hand, the inclined plate 31 makes the upper end of the delivery port 11 smaller, which is convenient for the laboratory mice to be accurately delivered. On the other hand, when the transport box is inserted into the mouse transmission chamber 4, the cover of the transport box slides along the angle of the inclined plate 31 while the transport box is inserted into the mouse transmission chamber 4, so that the box opening of the transport box is fully opened, which is convenient for the laboratory mice to enter the transport box faster. The cover plate 32 is a transparent plate 13-shaped structure that matches the size of the delivery port 11. The cover plate 32 is arranged at the upper end of the delivery port 11, and one end of the cover plate 32 is hingedly connected to the upper end of the delivery port 11 near the inclined plate 31. The cover plate 32 rotates along the connection with the delivery box 1 so that the cover plate 32 blocks or opens the delivery port 11 to prevent the experimental mouse entering the delivery box 1 from escaping or accidentally touching the infrared grating 21 for multiple counting. Two magnetic suction parts 33, the two magnetic suction parts 33 are respectively arranged on the inclined plate 31 and the cover plate 32, and the two magnetic suction parts 33 cooperate with each other so that the cover plate 32 can be fixedly adsorbed on the inclined plate 31, so that the delivery port 11 can be continuously in an open state. The two locking components 34 are symmetrically arranged at one end of the delivery box 1 away from the first opening to lock and fix the cover plate 32, so as to prevent the delivery port 11 from opening due to the experimental mouse in the delivery box 1 colliding with the cover plate 32. Preferably, the magnetic attraction member 33 can be a magnet. Preferably, the locking component is a snap lock, the lock body of the snap lock is fixedly assembled on the delivery box 1, and the snap groove of the snap lock is fixedly assembled on the cover plate 32, so that the cover plate 32 is buckled with the delivery box 1 to close the delivery port 11.
[0038] In some embodiments, two side panels 12 are further provided at the top of the delivery box 1, and the heights of the two side panels 12 are higher than the horizontal height of the delivery port 11. On the one hand, the side panels 12 can further prevent the experimental mice from escaping from the delivery port 11. On the other hand, the side panels 12 can also prevent other external objects from entering and accidentally touching the counting device.
