Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to animal breeding, in particular to an independently ventilated guinea pig cage for experiments. Background Art

[0002] Animal experiments usually require animals to be kept in a sterile environment, so a set of experimental animal feeding equipment is needed. The traditional way is to keep experimental animals in open cages, and then place these cages in a closed, sterile animal feeding room or feeding cabinet. This feeding method requires strict air purification treatment of the entire animal feeding room or feeding cabinet, which requires a large set of purification equipment. This equipment is expensive, and the cages are not sealed and separated. Not only are animals prone to infection from each other, but there is also a risk of cross-infection between humans and animals. Therefore, there is a special need for a guinea pig cage with independent ventilation for experiments.

[0003] However, existing independently ventilated animal cages have problems such as poor independent ventilation during animal breeding, and the polluted gas exhaled by the animals in the cages or the odor generated by the excrement discharged cannot be removed in time, which leads to the failure of the experiment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a guinea pig cage with independent ventilation for experiments, so as to solve the problem that the existing independent ventilation animal cages proposed in the above background technology may have poor independent ventilation effect during the process of raising animals, and the polluted gas exhaled by the animals in the cage or the odor generated by the excrement discharged cannot be eliminated in time, which will lead to the failure of the experiment due to unstable factors.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an experimental independently ventilated guinea pig cage, comprising a cage body, an isolation plate is mounted on the upper surface of the cage body, a buckle is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cage body, a cage cover is mounted on the upper surface of the cage body, a sealing mechanism is arranged on the inner surface of the cage cover, a conveying mechanism is arranged on the inner surface of the isolation plate, a kettle is mounted on the outer surface of the isolation plate, and a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cage body;

[0006] The sealing mechanism includes a valve body, an air intake column, a push column, a limit column and a filter; the valve body is fixedly connected to one side surface of the cage cover, the air intake column is fixedly connected to the inner side of the valve body, the push column is snap-connected to the inner surface of the air intake column, the limit column is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the push column, and the filter is installed on the inner surface of the valve body.

[0007] Preferably, the inner wall size of the ventilation valve matches the outer wall size of the ventilation column, and three filter screens are evenly spaced on the inner surface of the ventilation valve.

[0008] Preferably, a plurality of air inlets are provided at equal intervals on the outer surface of the ventilation column, and an air outlet is provided on one side surface of the ventilation column.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall size of the ventilation column matches the outer wall size of the push column, and a spring is provided on the inner side of the push column.

[0010] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a food bowl, a food discharge trough, a sealing plate, a limiting groove and a top cover, the outer surface of the food bowl is provided with a food discharge trough, the inner surface of the isolation plate is snap-connected with a sealing plate, the inner surface of the isolation plate is provided with a limiting groove, and the inner surface of the isolation plate is rotatably connected with a top cover.

[0011] Preferably, food discharge grooves are formed at equal intervals on the outer surface of the food bowl, and the outer wall size of the sealing plate matches the inner wall size of the limiting groove.

[0012] Preferably, the outer wall size of the sealing plate matches the inner wall size of the isolation plate, and the isolation plate and the top cover form a rotating structure.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the guinea pig cage with independent ventilation for experiment is provided with a cage body, a partition plate, a buckle, a cage cover, a sealing mechanism, a conveying mechanism, a water bottle and a fixing plate. When the cage needs to be ventilated in real time, four ventilation valves are evenly spaced and distributed on one side surface of the cage cover. First, two air inlet pipes and two exhaust pipes are respectively inserted into the ventilation column, and then continue to be inserted forward. Note that the inner wall size of each ventilation pipe joint must be larger than the outer wall size of the front end of the ventilation column, and cannot be larger than the inner wall size of the ventilation valve, otherwise it will be blocked and difficult to ventilate or insert the ventilation valve. At this time, the spring on the pressing column will be compressed due to the insertion of the air inlet pipe, and the spring under the pressing column will be compressed. Remove the air inlet of the ventilation column and the air inlet pipe can start to pump clean air into the cage. At the same time, the filter can prevent the polluted gas in the cage from polluting the pipe in reverse. After pulling out the ventilation pipe, press the column back to prevent the polluted gas in the cage from escaping from the air inlet. The exhaust method is the same, but the filter in the ventilation valve used for exhaust must be removed in advance, otherwise the polluted gas will be blocked at the filter and cannot be discharged. For feeding, open the top cover through the handle on the top cover and put the food into the food bowl. At this time, the food will fall and be stopped by the sealing plate. Then close the top cover and pull out the sealing plate. The food will continue to fall into the food bowl and then be fed to the animal through the food trough. This ensures the sealing of the cage.

[0020] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: an experimental independently ventilated guinea pig cage, comprising a cage body 1, an isolation plate 2 is mounted on the upper surface of the cage body 1, a buckle 3 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cage body 1, a cage cover 4 is mounted on the upper surface of the cage body 1, a sealing mechanism 5 is arranged on the inner surface of the cage cover 4, a conveying mechanism 6 is arranged on the inner surface of the isolation plate 2, a water bottle 7 is mounted on the outer surface of the isolation plate 2, and a fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cage body 1;

[0021] The sealing mechanism 5 includes a ventilation valve 501, a ventilation column 502, a push column 503, a limit column 504 and a filter 505. The inner side of the ventilation valve 501 is fixedly connected to the ventilation column 502, the inner surface of the ventilation column 502 is snap-connected with the push column 503, the inner surface of the ventilation valve 501 is fixedly connected to the limit column 504, and the inner surface of the ventilation valve 501 is installed with a filter 505. Through the arrangement of the ventilation valve 501, the ventilation column 502, the push column 503, the limit column 504 and the filter 505, when it is necessary to ventilate the cage in real time, the four ventilation valves 501 are evenly spaced and distributed on one side surface of the cage cover 4. First, two air inlet pipes and two exhaust pipes are respectively inserted into the ventilation column 502, and then continue to insert forward. Note The inner wall size of each ventilation pipe joint needs to be larger than the outer wall size of the front end of the ventilation column 502, and also cannot be larger than the inner wall size of the ventilation valve 501, otherwise it will be blocked and difficult to ventilate or difficult to insert the ventilation valve 501. At this time, the spring on the pressing column 503 will be compressed due to the insertion of the intake pipe, and the pressing column 503 moves down to expose the air inlet of the ventilation column 502. The intake pipe can start to pump clean air into the cage. At the same time, the filter 505 can prevent the polluted gas in the cage from reversely polluting the pipeline. After pulling out the ventilation pipe, the pressing column 503 returns to its position to prevent the polluted gas in the cage from escaping from the air inlet. The exhaust method is the same, but the filter 505 in the ventilation valve 501 used for exhaust needs to be taken out in advance, otherwise the polluted gas will be blocked at the filter and cannot be discharged, thus ensuring the sealing of the cage.

[0022] Furthermore, the inner wall size of the ventilation valve 501 matches the outer wall size of the ventilation column 502, and three filter screens 505 are evenly spaced on the inner surface of the ventilation valve 501. The filter screens 505 can prevent the polluted gas in the cage from escaping.

[0023] Furthermore, a plurality of air inlets are provided at equal intervals on the outer surface of the ventilation column 502 , and an air outlet is provided on one side surface of the ventilation column 502 . More clean gas can enter through the arrangement of the ventilation column 502 .

[0024] Furthermore, the inner wall size of the ventilation column 502 is consistent with the outer wall size of the push column 503, and a spring is provided on the inner side of the push column 503. The provision of the ventilation column 502 can enhance the sealing performance.

[0025] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism 6 includes a food bowl 601, a food discharge trough 602, a sealing plate 603, a limiting groove 604 and a top cover 605. The outer surface of the food bowl 601 is provided with a food discharge trough 602, the inner surface of the isolation plate 2 is snap-connected with the sealing plate 603, the inner surface of the isolation plate 2 is provided with a limiting groove 604, and the inner surface of the isolation plate 2 is rotatably connected with the top cover 605. Through the arrangement of the food bowl 601, the food discharge trough 602, the sealing plate 603, the limiting groove 604 and the top cover 605, when it is necessary to feed the experimental animals, first open the top cover 605 through the handle on the top cover 605, and then put the food into the food bowl 601. At this time, the food will fall and be stopped by the sealing plate 603, and then the top cover 605 is closed, and the sealing plate 603 is pulled outward, and the food will continue to fall into the food bowl 601, and then the animal is fed through the food discharge trough 602, thereby ensuring the sealing of the cage during feeding.

[0026] Furthermore, the outer surface of the food bowl 601 is provided with food discharge grooves 602 at equal intervals, and the outer wall size of the sealing plate 603 matches the inner wall size of the limiting groove 604. Through the provision of the food discharge grooves 602, animals can be fed from all sides.

[0027] Furthermore, the sealing plate 603 and the limiting groove 604 form a telescopic structure, and the isolation plate 2 and the top cover 605 form a rotating structure. By setting the sealing plate 603, the sealing of the cage can be ensured.

[0028] Working principle: When the cage needs to be ventilated in real time, four ventilation valves 501 are evenly spaced and distributed on one side of the cage cover 4. First, two air inlet pipes and two exhaust pipes are inserted into the ventilation column 502, and then the insertion is continued. Note that the inner wall size of each ventilation pipe joint must be larger than the outer wall size of the front end of the ventilation column 502, and cannot be larger than the inner wall size of the ventilation valve 501, otherwise it will be blocked and difficult to ventilate or insert the ventilation valve 501. At this time, the spring on the pressing column 503 will be compressed due to the insertion of the air inlet pipe, and the pressing column 503 will move down to expose the air inlet of the ventilation column 502. The air inlet pipe can start to pump clean air into the cage. At the same time, the filter 505 can prevent The polluted gas in the cage will reversely pollute the pipeline. After pulling out the ventilation pipe, press the column 503 to return to its position to prevent the polluted gas in the cage from escaping from the air inlet. The exhaust method is the same, but the filter 505 in the ventilation valve 501 used for exhaust must be taken out in advance, otherwise the polluted gas will be blocked at the filter and cannot be discharged. For feeding, the top cover 605 is opened through the handle on the top cover 605, and then the food is put into the food bowl 601. At this time, the food will fall and be stopped by the sealing plate 603, and then the top cover 605 is closed, and the sealing plate 603 is pulled outward, and the food will continue to fall into the food bowl 601, and then fed to the animal through the food trough 602, thus ensuring the sealing of the cage.
