Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of mouse electroacupuncture assistance, in particular to a novel mouse electroacupuncture experiment assistance device. Background Art
[0002] Acupuncture is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine. Modern Chinese medicine scientists have evolved electroacupuncture, a new treatment method, based on traditional acupuncture and combined it with controllable microcurrent treatment. The existing mainstream electroacupuncture treatment instruments include Han Jisheng's electroacupuncture instrument, Huatuo brand electroacupuncture instrument, etc. When using it, a clamp wire is extended from the main unit of the electroacupuncture treatment instrument, and then the acupuncture needle is clamped by the clamp wire, and finally acupuncture and electric treatment are performed. This method is more suitable for medium and large individuals such as humans, dogs, and rabbits. However, when this method is applied to mice, due to the shallow depth of needle insertion, muscle contraction during power-on causes the needle to shake, and the effect of the needle clamp gravity and the elastic force of the wire itself, it is very easy to cause the needle to fall off, resulting in the interruption of the experiment, which has an adverse effect on the stability of the mouse electroacupuncture experiment and the reliability of the experimental data, and hinders the research and development of electroacupuncture treatment technology. Therefore, it is very necessary to seek a stable and reliable mouse electroacupuncture auxiliary fixation device. Utility Model Content

[0016] The specific implementation of the utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0017] Depend on Figures 1 to 4 A new type of auxiliary device for mouse electroacupuncture experiment is given:
[0018] Embodiment 1 includes a base 1, a bracket arranged on the base 1, an anesthesia mask used in conjunction with the bracket, and a fixing clip for auxiliary fixation of acupuncture. The bracket supports the anesthesia mask so that the anesthesia mask can be stably placed. The fixing clip is used to assist in fixing the acupuncture to prevent muscle contraction of small test animals such as mice due to electricity, thereby causing the acupuncture to fall off and interrupt the experiment.
[0019] The bracket includes multiple groups of fixed structures for carrying anesthesia masks. Two adjacent groups of fixed structures are connected by a connecting rod 5. The fixed structures are arranged in multiple groups and can be used to place multiple mice at the same time. Multiple mice can be experimented and observed at the same time. At the same time, the connecting rod 5 connects the multiple groups of fixed structures so that the multiple groups of fixed structures can be stably placed.
[0020] The fixing structure includes a U-shaped ring 6 with an opening facing away from the base 1, and the opening of the U-shaped ring 6 is used to accommodate an anesthesia mask. The anesthesia mask is placed in the U-shaped opening of the U-shaped ring 6, so as to fix and limit the anesthesia mask.
[0021] A fixing groove 16 used in conjunction with the U-shaped ring 6 is provided on the outer edge surface of the anesthesia mask. The U-shaped ring 6 is inserted into the fixing groove 16. The anesthesia mask is further fixed under the action of the fixing groove 16, so that the staff can better install the utility model.
[0022] A support frame 7 is installed on the U-shaped ring 6 and used in conjunction with a fixing clamp. The fixing clamp is clamped on the support frame 7 to fix the needle 14 inserted into the mouse acupuncture points. The end of the connecting rod 5 is connected to the U-shaped ring 6 or the support frame 7. The ends of the U-shaped ring 6 or the ends of the support frame 7 located in different groups of fixing structures can be connected by the connecting rod 5. Similarly, the ends of the U-shaped ring 6 and the ends of the support frame 7 located in different groups of fixing structures can also be connected by the connecting rod 5.
[0023] The two ends of the support frame 7 are fixedly connected to the U-shaped ring 6 on the corresponding side, and a continuous passage is formed between the support frame 7 and the U-shaped ring 6, so that the fixing clamp can be located in the middle position of the support frame 7, thereby better fixing the acupuncture needle 14. The end of the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped ring 6 or the support frame 7, and a closed space is formed between the connecting rod 5, the U-shaped ring 6 and the support frame 7, so that the device can be prepared by integral molding, reducing the processing steps.
[0024] One of the surfaces of the base 1 is a horizontal end surface, and the U-shaped ring 6 is placed on the horizontal end surface of the base 1. Under the action of the horizontal end surface of the base 1, the U-shaped ring 6 can be placed more stably, and the opening of the U-shaped ring 6 is perpendicular to the horizontal end surface of the base 1.
[0025] The anesthesia mask is composed of a mask body 8 and a rubber ring 9. The mask body 8 is a transparent plastic cover body. The rubber ring 9 is tied to the output end of the mask body 8. The anesthesia mask covers the head of a small animal such as a mouse. The transparent mask body 8 can visually observe the head of a small animal such as a mouse. The rubber ring 9 is elastic and can undergo a certain degree of deformation. At the same time, when not subjected to external force, the rubber ring 9 itself has an elastic force to restore to its initial state. The elastic force is used to assist in clamping and fixing the head of a small animal such as a mouse.
[0026] The fixing clip is composed of a small alligator clip 10 and an insulating sleeve 11 wrapped around the outer periphery. The small alligator clip 10 clamps the electric acupuncture wire, and the insulating sleeve 11 around the small alligator clip 10 prevents the staff from being injured when touching it.
[0027] The input end of the anesthesia mask can be adapted to the output pipes of various small animal anesthesia machines, and the output pipes output anesthetic gas, thereby anesthetizing suitable small animals such as mice.
[0028] Embodiment 2 is different from Embodiment 1 in that two U-shaped rings 6 in the same fixed structure are symmetrically arranged with respect to the support frame 7. Two U-shaped rings 6 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the support frame 7, so that the device can be placed on the base 1 more stably.
[0029] The two ends of the support frame 7 are fixedly connected to the U-shaped ring 6 on the corresponding side, and a continuous passage is formed between the support frame 7 and the U-shaped ring 6, so that the fixing clamp can be located in the middle of the two U-shaped rings 6, so as to better fix the needle 14 used for acupuncture. The end of the connecting rod 5 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped ring 6, and a closed space is formed between the connecting rod 5, the U-shaped ring 6 and the support frame 7, so that the device can be prepared by integral molding, reducing the processing steps.
[0030] When the utility model is used, the staff places the experimental small animal 15 on the base 1, the head of the experimental small animal 15 is located in the mask body 8 of the anesthesia mask, and the rubber ring on the anesthesia mask limits and fixes the head of the experimental small animal 15. After the experimental small animal 15 is anesthetized, the electric acupuncture band clamp wire 13 is fixed on the support frame 7 through the fixing clamp, and the needle 14 clamped by the band clamp wire 13 is inserted into the acupuncture point of the experimental small animal 15;
[0031] The staff turns on the electric acupuncture through the power supply 12, and the muscles of the experimental small animal 15 contract under the stimulation of the muscles. Under the action of the fixing clamp, the clamped wire 13 will not deviate. At the same time, since the fixing clamp lifts the needle clamp of the clamped wire 13, the gravity of the needle clamp of the clamped wire 13 will not affect the needle 14, so that the needle 14 can be inserted into the acupuncture points of the experimental small animal 15 more stably.
[0032] The utility model utilizes a U-shaped ring to position and fix the anesthesia mask, and at the same time, the head of the experimental small animal is clamped and fixed under the action of the rubber ring on the anesthesia mask, so as to prevent the experimental small animal from moving during the experiment. The bracket in the utility model can place and fix multiple experimental small animals, and multiple samples can be observed at the same time, which improves the experimental efficiency. In addition, the fixing clamp on the support frame lifts the clamp of the needle to avoid the influence of the clamp's own gravity on the experiment.
