[0003] For existing behavioral mazes, please refer to the patent with application number CN202022758420.X. Usually, the "T" shape and "Y" shape are the basic components of the behavioral maze. Food, optical markers, sound markers, hazard markers, etc. can be placed in the maze to study the habits of rodents exploring new environments and their ability to recognize and remember different environments. Danger markers are usually charged electric shock pads, which can make the experimental subjects feel electric shock after touching them, so they can be used as hazard markers. However, the layout of the behavioral maze needs to be adjusted according to the experimental rules, and the electric shock pad needs to be equipped with a power supply line. The power supply line will affect the installation of the electric shock pad, which in turn affects the adjustment of the layout of the behavioral maze, making the layout of the behavioral maze difficult to adjust or even impossible to adjust.

[0004] Therefore, how to conveniently adjust the layout of the electrified behavioral maze is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

[0013] In some embodiments, the unit cylinder further includes a damping pad, which is disposed between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder and has a friction force that prevents the inner cylinder from rotating relative to the outer cylinder.

[0014] In some embodiments, the maze module includes a plurality of contact plates, and the plurality of contact plates are circumferentially built into the inner cylinder.

[0015] In some embodiments, the inner cylinder is provided with a plurality of slots corresponding one-to-one to the plurality of the electric shock plates, and the electric shock plates are embedded in the slots.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model more clear, the utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0025] In order to solve the technical problem of how to conveniently adjust the layout of a maze, the utility model provides a maze module, which can realize how to conveniently adjust the layout of an electrified maze.

[0026] It should be noted that the maze module of the present invention is used for but not limited to behavioral mazes, and for the sake of convenience, in the present invention, only the application of the maze module to the behavioral maze is used as an example for explanation, and the principles of applying the maze module to other types of equipment are essentially the same as those applied to the behavioral maze, and will not be repeated here.

[0027] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the labyrinth module in one embodiment of the utility model comprises a substrate 100, a unit tube 200 and a contact plate 300, wherein the substrate 100 has a plurality of mounting positions, and each mounting position has a first electrical terminal 110. The unit tube 200 is detachably mounted in one of the mounting positions, and the unit tube 200 also has a second electrical terminal 210 connected to the first electrical terminal 110. The contact plate 300 is mounted on the inner wall of the unit tube 200 and is electrically connected to the second electrical terminal 210 so that the contact plate 300 is charged.

[0028] In this embodiment, a plurality of unit tubes 200 are assembled together to form a maze of a specific shape. The unit tube 200 is installed on the mounting position of the substrate 100, and the unit tube 200 can be fixed. Since the first power terminal 110 and the second power terminal 210 are docked, and the second power terminal 210 and the electric shock plate 300 are electrically connected, the electric shock plate 300 can be charged, and the electric shock plate 300 located in the unit tube 200 becomes a dangerous sign. When the shape of the maze needs to be changed, each unit tube 200 can be installed in a different mounting position, so as to be spliced ​​into a maze of different shapes. The second power terminal 210 can be docked with the new first power terminal 110 to ensure that the electric shock plate 300 in the unit tube 200 is still charged. The above-mentioned maze module is not limited by the power supply line of the electric shock plate 300, and can be freely assembled into mazes of different shapes, making the maze layout more diverse.

[0029] In some of the embodiments, the unit cylinder 200 includes an outer cylinder 220 and an inner cylinder 230. The outer cylinder 220 is installed at the installation position, the inner cylinder 230 is rotatably built into the outer cylinder 220, and the inner cylinder 230 can stay at any position on its rotation trajectory, and the contact plate 300 is installed on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 230.

[0030] In this embodiment, since the electric shock plate 300 is installed in the inner cylinder 230, and the inner cylinder 230 can also rotate relative to the outer cylinder 220, the position of the electric shock plate 300 can be adjusted by rotating the inner cylinder 230, thereby making the layout of the behavioral maze more diverse.

[0031] In some embodiments, the unit cylinder 200 further includes a rotating joint 240, the second power terminal 210 is installed on the outer cylinder 220, one end of the rotating joint 240 is connected to the outer cylinder 220, and the other end is connected to the inner cylinder 230, and the two ends of the rotating joint 240 are electrically connected to the second power terminal 210 and the contact plate 300 respectively.

[0032] In this embodiment, since the electric shock board 300 is electrically connected to the second power terminal 210 via the rotating joint 240, the rotation of the inner cylinder 230 relative to the outer cylinder 220 does not affect the power supply circuit of the electric shock board 300, so that the electric shock board 300 can be normally charged.

[0033] Any implementation method that can make the inner cylinder 230 stay at any position on its rotation trajectory is feasible. In some embodiments, the unit cylinder 200 also includes a damping pad 250, which is arranged between the inner cylinder 230 and the outer cylinder 220 and has a friction force that prevents the inner cylinder 230 from rotating relative to the outer cylinder 220.

[0034] In this embodiment, since the experimental subjects are usually small animals such as mice, the load borne by the inner cylinder 230 is very small, and the friction provided by the damping pad 250 is sufficient to keep the inner cylinder 230 stable. At the same time, only the friction force is used to limit the rotation of the inner cylinder 230 relative to the outer cylinder 220, which is also convenient for the operator to change the relative position between the inner cylinder 230 and the outer cylinder 220.

[0035] In some embodiments, the maze module includes a plurality of contact plates 300 , and the plurality of contact plates 300 are circumferentially built into the inner cylinder 230 .

[0036] In this embodiment, a plurality of electric shock panels 300 are used simultaneously, so that the marking range of the electric shock panels 300 can be expanded.

[0037] In some embodiments, the inner cylinder 230 is provided with a plurality of slots 231 corresponding to the plurality of electric shock plates 300 , and the electric shock plates 300 are embedded in the slots 231 .

[0038] In this embodiment, under the limiting effect of the slot 231 , the shock pad 300 can be more stably fixed in the slot 231 , thereby preventing the shock pad 300 from loosening.

[0039] In some embodiments, the unit tube 200 is a transparent unit tube 200 .

[0040] In this embodiment, since the unit tube 200 is a transparent unit tube 200 , it is convenient for the experimenter to observe the behavior of the experiment object through the unit tube 200 .

[0041] On the basis of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the maze module further includes a light shielding hood 400 , which is disposed outside the unit tube 200 to shield external light.

[0042] In this embodiment, the light shield 400 can be used to shield external light and block the sight of the experimental subject, so as to prevent external factors from affecting the behavior of the experimental subject.

[0043] In some embodiments, the maze module further includes a lighting lamp, which is disposed inside the unit tube 200 .

[0044] In this embodiment, the lighting lamp can emit light, thereby studying the behavioral patterns related to the experimental object and light.

[0045] The utility model also provides a behavioral maze, comprising the above-mentioned maze module.

[0046] In order to better understand the present invention, the following Figure 1 to Figure 2 The technical solution of the utility model is described in detail:

[0047] By assembling multiple unit cylinders 200 together, a maze of a specific shape can be formed. The outer cylinder 220 is installed on the mounting position of the substrate 100, and the outer cylinder 220 can be fixed. Since the electric shock plate 300 is installed on the inner cylinder 230, and the inner cylinder 230 can also rotate relative to the outer cylinder 220, the position of the electric shock plate 300 can be adjusted by rotating the inner cylinder 230. The damping pad 250 is arranged between the inner cylinder 230 and the outer cylinder 220, and the friction force of the damping pad 250 prevents the inner cylinder 230 from rotating relative to the outer cylinder 220, so as to keep the inner cylinder 230 stable. Since the first power terminal 110 and the second power terminal 210 are docked, and the second power terminal 210 and the electric shock plate 300 are electrically connected, the electric shock plate 300 can be charged, and then the electric shock plate 300 located in the unit cylinder 200 becomes a dangerous sign. When the shape of the maze needs to be changed, each unit cylinder 200 can be installed on different mounting positions, so as to be spliced ​​into a maze of different shapes. The second power terminal 210 can be connected to the new first power terminal 110 to ensure that the contact plate 300 in the unit tube 200 is still energized. The above-mentioned maze module is not limited by the power supply line of the contact plate 300, and can be freely assembled into mazes of different shapes, making the maze layout more diverse.

[0048] The specific implementation methods of the utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made according to the technical concept of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
