In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] In order to solve the technical problems in the background technology, the following mouse cage with quickly replaceable bedding is provided:

[0032] Combination Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, the utility model provides a squirrel cage with quickly replaceable bedding, comprising a squirrel cage body 1, a drawer 2 is arranged inside the squirrel cage body 1, and a groove 3 is opened on the surface of one side of the squirrel cage body 1, a baffle 4 is rotatably connected inside the groove 3, and a connecting mechanism 5 is arranged between the baffle 4 and the squirrel cage body 1, a fixing mechanism 6 is arranged between the drawer 2 and the squirrel cage body 1, fixing bars 7 are fixedly installed on the inner walls on both sides of the squirrel cage body 1, and first sliding grooves 701 are opened on the surfaces of the opposite sides of the two fixing bars 7, and a partition 8 is slidably connected inside the first sliding groove 701.

[0033] In this embodiment: by providing a drawer 2, the drawer 2 can be slidably connected inside the squirrel cage body 1, and the bedding can be placed inside the drawer 2. When the bedding needs to be replaced, the baffle 4 can be rotated, and the partition 8 can be inserted into the first slide groove 701 on the surface of the fixed strip 7, so that the mice inside the squirrel cage body 1 can be separated, and the drawer 2 can be taken out to replace the bedding inside. Then, the drawer 2 with replaced bedding can be pushed into the squirrel cage body 1 and the partition 8 can be taken out.

[0034] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, based on the first embodiment, in order to enable the squirrel cage with quickly replaceable bedding to install the baffle 4, this embodiment provides the following design:

[0035] As a preferred embodiment, the connecting mechanism 5 includes a connecting head 501, and two connecting heads 501 are provided, and the two connecting heads 501 are respectively fixedly installed on the two side surfaces of the baffle 4, and connecting grooves 502 are provided on the inner walls on both sides of the groove 3, and the two connecting heads 501 are connected to the two connecting grooves 502 respectively by a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0036] In this embodiment, the connectors 501 on both side surfaces of the baffle 4 are respectively inserted into the connecting grooves 502 on both side inner walls of the groove 3. When the padding needs to be replaced, the baffle 4 can be rotated in the groove 3 to replace the padding inside the drawer 2.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, a notch 503 is formed outside the connection groove 502 , and a coil spring 504 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the notch 503 , and the inner ring of the coil spring 504 is fixedly connected to the connection head 501 .

[0038] In this embodiment, a coil spring 504 is installed between the connector 501 and the slot 503. When replacing the bedding, the baffle 4 can be rotated by pulling the handle on the surface. While driving the connector 501 to rotate, the coil spring 504 will be deformed. After the bedding is replaced, the coil spring 504 can drive the baffle 4 to rotate through its own elastic force, so that the baffle 4 is stuck in the groove 3, thereby sealing the cage body 1 and preventing the mouse food, bedding, etc. from leaking out of the groove 3.

[0039] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, based on the first embodiment, in order to enable the squirrel cage with quickly replaceable bedding to fix the drawer 2 and prevent the drawer 2 from sliding out of the squirrel cage body 1, this embodiment provides the following design:

[0040] As a preferred embodiment, the fixing mechanism 6 includes a fixing block 601 and a second slide groove 602, and the fixing block 601 is fixedly installed on a side surface of the drawer 2, the second slide groove 602 is opened on an inner wall surface of one side of the squirrel cage body 1, and the connection method between the fixing block 601 and the second slide groove 602 is a sliding connection.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the drawer 2 is pushed into the cage body 1 , the fixed block 601 on the surface slides back into the second sliding groove 602 .

[0042] As a preferred embodiment, a mounting groove 603 is provided on the upper surface of the second slide groove 602, and a stopper 604 is slidably connected inside the mounting groove 603, and a spring 606 is fixedly installed between the upper surface of the stopper 604 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 603, a retaining groove 605 is provided on the bottom surface of the stopper 604, and one side surface of the bottom of the stopper 604 is inclined.

[0043] In this embodiment: after the fixing block 601 slides into the second sliding groove 602, the inclined surface of the bottom side surface of the stopper 604 can be squeezed to drive the stopper 604 to slide upward in the installation groove 603, and the internal spring 606 can be deformed. When the fixing block 601 moves to the lower side of the slot 605, the spring 606 will push the stopper 604 downward through its own elastic force, so that the slot 605 covers the fixing block 601, and the fixing block 601 and the drawer 2 can be fixed to prevent the drawer 2 from sliding out of the cage body 1.

[0044] As a preferred embodiment, a connection block 607 is fixedly mounted on one side surface of the stopper 604 , and the connection between the connection block 607 and the cage body 1 is a sliding connection, and a push block 608 is fixedly mounted on the other end surface of the connection block 607 .

[0045] In this embodiment: when the drawer 2 needs to be taken out, the push block 608 is pushed upward, and the push block 608 drives the connecting block 607 and the stop block 604 to move, so that the slot 605 on the lower surface of the stop block 604 does not get stuck on the fixed block 601, and the drawer 2 can be taken out.

[0046] Specifically, the working principle of this solution is:

[0047] During use, when the bedding needs to be replaced, the baffle 4 is rotated by pulling the handle, and then the partition 8 can be inserted into the first slide groove 701 on the surface of the fixing bar 7 to separate the mouse on the upper side of the partition 8. Then the drawer 2 can be pulled out to replace the bedding inside, and then the drawer 2 can be placed inside the mouse cage body 1, and the partition 8 can be taken out to quickly replace the bedding.

[0048] When the baffle plate 4 rotates, it will drive the connecting head 501 to rotate at the same time, and will drive the coil spring 504 to deform. After the padding is replaced, the coil spring 504 can drive the baffle plate 4 to rotate by its own elastic force, so that the baffle plate 4 is stuck in the groove 3, and the squirrel cage body 1 is sealed to prevent the mouse food, padding, etc. from leaking out of the groove 3. When the drawer 2 is placed, the fixing block 601 will be driven to slide into the second sliding groove 602, and the blocking block 604 will be driven to slide upward in the installation groove 603 by squeezing the inclined surface of the bottom side surface of the blocking block 604, and the spring 606 will be deformed. When the fixing block 601 moves to the lower side of the card slot 605, the spring 606 will push the blocking block 604 downward by its own elastic force, so that the card slot 605 covers the fixing block 601, and the fixing block 601 and the drawer 2 can be fixed to prevent the drawer 2 from sliding out. The above is the working process of the entire device, and the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the existing technology known to professional and technical personnel in this field.

[0049] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described in the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above specific implementation methods. Therefore, any modification or equivalent replacement of the present invention; and all technical solutions and improvements thereof that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention are included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
