Therefore, the present utility is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the widest range of principles and features disclosed in the present application.

[0032] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the present embodiment provides a technical solution: an experimental mouse breeding box, comprising a box body 1, an inner top wall of the box body 1 is fixedly connected with a top tube 2, the top tube 2 is located at the top center of the box body 1, an inner bottom wall of the top tube 2 is fixedly connected with a vertical rod 3, an outer side wall of the vertical rod 3 is fixedly connected with an auger 4, the auger 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the top tube 2, the auger 4 is spirally arranged inside the top tube 2, a drainage hole 5 is opened on the outside of the bottom of the top tube 2, a plurality of drainage holes 5 are arranged, and the plurality of drainage holes 5 are arranged on the outside of the bottom of the top tube 2 and are distributed in a circular array, a water collecting box 6 is detachably connected to the bottom of the box body 1, the top tube 2 and the water collecting box 6 are not connected, a card slot 7 is opened on the water collecting box 6, four card slots 7 are arranged, and the four card slots 7 are arranged on the water collecting box 6 and are distributed in a circular array, the water collecting box 6 is movably inserted with a partition plate 8 through the card slot 7, and the partition plate 8 is arranged There are four partitions 8 evenly distributed inside the box body 1. The four partitions 8 divide the inside of the box body 1 into four feeding areas. The partitions 8 are fixedly connected to the inside of the box body 1. The inner bottom wall of the box body 1 is attached with a pad 9. The inside of the pad 9 is filled with wood chips. The outer wall of the box body 1 is provided with a ventilation groove 15. The box body 1 is provided with air diffusion holes 16 through the ventilation groove 15. The ventilation groove 15 and the air diffusion holes 16 facilitate the circulation of gas in the box body 1. The vertical rod 3 and the auger 4 are used in coordination to reduce the impact of water on the bottom of the top tube 2. The interior of the box body 1 is divided into four feeding areas through the partition 8. The water collecting box 6 is used to facilitate the experimental mice to drink water, thereby solving the technical problem of preventing the behavior and physiological state of each experimental mouse from being affected by other individuals and avoiding competition and conflict in the drinking process of multiple experimental mice.

[0033] Furthermore, Figure 2 - Figure 4As shown: a cross plate 10 is attached to the bottom of the box body 1, and the cross section of the cross plate 10 is a cross shape. The internal thread of the cross plate 10 is connected with a self-tapping screw 11. Four self-tapping screws 11 are provided, and the four self-tapping screws 11 are evenly distributed on the cross plate 10. The water collecting box 6 is detachably connected to the bottom of the box body 1 through the cross plate 10 and the self-tapping screws 11. After the water collecting box 6 moves to the bottom center of the box body 1, the cross plate 10 and the self-tapping screws 11 limit the water collecting box 6, so that the water collecting box 6 can be disassembled and cleaned.

[0034] Furthermore, Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown: a water tank 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the box body 1, and the water tank 12 is located on the top right side of the box body 1. A drain pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank 12. One end of the drain pipe 13 away from the water tank 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the top tube 2.

Through the action of the electromagnetic valve 14, the water inside the water tank 12 flows to the inside of the top tube 2 through the drain pipe 13.

[0035] The above scheme still has the problem that it is inconvenient to take the experimental mice out of the feeding area and it is inconvenient to remove the pad 9 for replacement. Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown: In this solution, a sliding window 17 is slidably connected to the box body 1. The experimenter can observe the situation of the experimental mice in the breeding area through the glass on the sliding window 17, and it is convenient to close the breeding area.

[0036] The above solution still has the problem of being inconvenient to limit the position of the sliding window 17. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown: In this solution, a first magnet strip 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding window 17, and a second magnet strip 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body 1.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] like Figure 1-5 As shown:

[0039] When in use: first, move the water collecting box 6 upward from the bottom center of the box body 1, the water collecting box 6 is connected to the partition plate 8 through the card slot 7, the cross plate 10 is moved to fit with the box body 1 and the water collecting box 6, and the self-tapping screw 11 is threaded through the inside of the cross plate 10 and connected to the box body 1, so that the water collecting box 6 can be detachably connected to the bottom of the box body 1, and the pad 9 filled with sawdust is moved and placed at the bottom of the box body 1. At the same time, four experimental mice are placed in four areas inside the box body 1, and the box body 1 is closed by the sliding window 17. The first magnet strip 18 is moved to be connected to the second magnet strip 19. After fitting, the position of the sliding window 17 is stabilized, and the experimental mice inside the box body 1 can be observed through the transparent glass on the sliding window 17. When the experimental mice need to drink water, the solenoid valve 14 operates, and the water inside the water tank 12 flows to the inside of the top tube 2 through the drain pipe 13. The water flows downward in a spiral through the auger 4. The auger 4 reduces the impact of the water on the bottom of the top tube 2. The water accumulated inside the top tube 2 flows to the inside of the water collecting box 6 through the drain hole 5, so as to facilitate the four experimental mice inside the box body 1 to drink water, and avoid the experimental mice raised in the box body 1 from competing or rejecting when drinking water.
