Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of animal guardrails, in particular to a space-adjustable cage for animal experiments. Background Art

[0002] In the process of drug development, animal experiments are an important part of evaluating drug efficacy and safety. By administering drugs to animals and observing their physiological and pathological reactions, scientists can evaluate the efficacy of drugs and their effects on the body. This evaluation can provide an important reference for drugs to enter clinical trials, thereby providing more options for drug treatment of human diseases. The existing cages for experimental small animals cannot be adjusted. When used, multiple groups of small animals must be placed in different cages. When multiple groups of small animals are experimented with different doses of drugs, a single cage is used to store a group of small animals. There are defects such as inconvenient management, easy confusion, large space occupation, and inconvenient to carry. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a cage with adjustable cage size, which is convenient for grouping, easy to manage, small space occupation, and easy to carry. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the technical solution more clear, the technical solution is further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods. It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the technical solution.

[0031] like Figure 1-6As shown, a cage for animal experiments with adjustable space includes: a guardrail 10, including two side guardrails 101 and a bottom guardrail 102, a slide groove 103 is set on the first surface 1011 of the side guardrail 101, a first rotating shaft 11 is fixedly set in the middle and lower part of the first surface 1011, and a second rotating shaft 12 is set in the middle position of the two opposite side surfaces of the bottom guardrail 102, the side guardrail 101 is hinged to the bottom guardrail 102, and the first rotating shaft 111 and the second rotating shaft 12 are inserted through a connecting rod 13, the side guardrail 101 and the bottom guardrail 102 have the same width at the hinge, and the side guardrail 101 and the bottom guardrail 102 can be folded and can be folded and stored when the cage is stored, which has the advantage of occupying a small space. Two slide grooves 103 are arranged on the side guardrail 101, and the slide grooves 103 are arranged in a horizontal direction. There is a first protruding structure 104 in the middle of the slide groove 103; the first plug plate 30 is provided with an opening 31 on the opposite circumferential side wall, and the opening 31 of the first plug plate 30 is inserted into the first protruding structure 104 on the slide groove 103. The first plug plate 30 can slide back and forth on the slide groove 103, and the space structure in the cage can be adjusted. The cage space can be adjusted at will according to the size of the animal. The upper cover 20 is arranged on the guardrail 10; the upper surface of the upper cover 20 is provided with a first handle 21, and a fixing rope 22 is arranged on the opposite side. A buckle 105 is arranged on the second surface 1012 of the side guardrail. The buckle 105 is used in conjunction with the fixing rope 22 on the upper cover 20 to make the entire cage safer and more reliable. At the same time, when the first handle 21 is carried by hand, the upper cover 20 will not fall off from the side guardrail 101 and the first plug plate 30, and it is convenient to move. The bottom guardrail 102 is not hinged to the bottom of the side guardrail 101, and its hinge position is slightly above the bottom of the side guardrail bottom 101. Therefore, after the side guardrail 101 and the bottom guardrail 102 are hinged, the guardrail 10 can be divided into two chambers. The first chamber is used to store small animals, and a dung receiving pan 14 is set in the second chamber. A second handle 15 is set on the side of the dung receiving pan 14 to facilitate the staff to clean the feces of the small animals.

[0032] The first plugboard 30 includes an opening 31, which is arranged on the circumferential side wall of the first plugboard 30, and the openings 31 are arranged opposite to each other. The first plugboard 30 also includes a slide rail 32, which is arranged on both end surfaces of the first plugboard 30 and matches the position of the opening 31. The slide rail 32 is connected to the opening 31, and a safety buckle 33 is arranged on the slide rail 32. The safety buckle 33 is concave in shape, and the bottom of the concave shape has a second protruding structure 34. The second protruding structure 34 is used in conjunction with the slide rail 32. The second protruding structure 34 is inserted into the slide rail 32 and can move back and forth on the slide rail 32. When the second protruding structure 34 approaches the opening 31, the position of the first plugboard 30 on the side guardrail 101 can be fixed. When the second protruding structure 34 leaves the far opening 31, the first plugboard 30 can be slid again to adjust the position. After reaching a suitable position, the second protruding structure 34 fixes the first plugboard 30 again. When the safety buckles 33 are used, they are only arranged in pairs in diagonal directions on both end surfaces of the first plug board 30 , so that the first plug board 30 can be fixed.

[0033] like Figure 7 As shown, a feeding tray 16 is provided on the side guardrail 101, and a plurality of slots 17 are provided in the middle of the feeding tray 16. The slots 17 are used in conjunction with a second plug plate 18. The position of the second plug plate 18 in the feeding tray 16 can be fixed according to the position adjusted by the first plug plate 30. When the first plug plate 30 divides the guardrail 10 into three spaces, two second plug plates 18 are inserted into the feeding tray 16, and the feeding tray 16 is also divided into three spaces for placing food and water.

[0034] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, many changes can be made in the specific implementation methods and application scopes based on the ideas of the present technical content. As long as these changes do not deviate from the concept of the present invention, they all fall within the scope of protection of this patent.
