DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0023] Such as Figure 1As shown in the figure, a convenient mouse cage includes a main body 1, an isolation component 2, and a cleaning component 3. The isolation component 2 includes a rolling curtain 21. The rolling curtain 21 is arranged at the lower end inside the main body 1. The rolling curtain 21 is telescopically connected to the inner wall of the main body 1. The cleaning component 3 includes a scraper 31. The scraper 31 is arranged between the rolling curtain 21 and the bottom inside the main body 1. The scraper 31 is in contact with the bottom inside the main body 1. The scraper 31 makes a reciprocating motion inside the main body 1. The reciprocating motion direction of the scraper 31 is the same as the telescopic direction of the rolling curtain 21.
[0024] The main body 1 is square. In order to facilitate observing the situation of the mice in the mouse cage, the main body 1 is usually made of a transparent material. The isolation component 2 is used to isolate the mice from the bedding.
[0025] The isolation component 2 further includes a winding shaft 22, a first driving motor 23, a rolling curtain track 24, and a rolling curtain winding bin 25. Two pairs of the rolling curtain tracks 24 are oppositely arranged on the inner wall of the lower end of the main body 1. The rolling curtain winding bin 25 is arranged on the side wall of the main body 1 adjacent to the two pairs of rolling curtain tracks 24. The winding shaft 22 is arranged in the rolling curtain winding bin 25. The winding shaft 22 is connected to one end of the rolling curtain 21. The two side edges of the rolling curtain 21 are respectively slidably connected to the two pairs of rolling curtain tracks 24. The first driving motor 23 is arranged on the outer wall of the rolling curtain winding bin 25. The first driving motor 23 is electrically connected to the winding shaft 22.
[0026] One end of the rolling curtain 21 is connected to the winding shaft 22. The two side edges of the rolling curtain 21 telescopically slide inside the rolling curtain track 24. By driving the winding shaft 22 to rotate through the first driving motor 23, the rolling curtain 21 can be wound or opened. At this time, the rolling curtain 21 telescopically slides inside the rolling curtain track 24. The height of the rolling curtain track 24 from the bottom of the main body 1 should be less than the height of the mice to ensure that the mice cannot enter the bottom of the rolling curtain 21. During use, the first driving motor 23 drives the winding shaft 22 to rotate, thereby driving the rolling curtain 21 to unfold. As the rolling curtain 21 unfolds in the rolling curtain track 24, the activity space of the mice is compressed, causing the mice to run above the rolling curtain 21, thus achieving the purpose of separating the mice from the waste bedding.
[0027] When the isolation component 2 separates the mice and completes the waste bedding at the bottom of the main body 1, the first driving motor 23 drives the winding shaft 22 to rotate in the reverse direction. At this time, the rolling curtain 21 is wound around the winding shaft 22 until the entire rolling curtain 21 is wound around the winding shaft 22. At this time, the entire rolling curtain 21 and the winding shaft 22 are both placed inside the rolling curtain winding bin 25.
[0028] As Figure 2As shown, the cleaning component 3 further includes a lead screw 32, a second drive motor 33, and a moving groove 34. Two sets of the moving grooves 34 are oppositely arranged on the side of the body 1 at the lower end of the rolling curtain track 24. Two sets of the lead screws 32 are respectively arranged in the two sets of moving grooves 34. Both ends of the scraper 31 are respectively in transmission connection with the two sets of lead screws 32. The second drive motor 33 is arranged on the outer wall of the body 1 adjacent to the moving groove 34. The second drive motor 33 is respectively electrically connected to the two sets of lead screws 32.
[0029] The cleaning component 3 further includes a discharge port 35. The discharge port 35 is arranged on the body 1 opposite to the isolation component 2. The bottom of the discharge port 35 is lower than the bottom of the scraper 31, and the top of the discharge port 35 is higher than the top of the scraper 31.
[0030] After the above-mentioned rolling curtain 21 separates the mouse from the waste bedding, start the second drive motor 33. The second drive motor 33 can drive the two side lead screws 32 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screws 32 drives the scraper 31 to make a reciprocating motion in the moving groove 34. The scraper 31 moves from the initial position near the rolling curtain winding bin 25 to the discharge port 35 at the other end. Thus, the scraper 31 pushes the waste bedding to the discharge port 35.
[0031] The cleaning component 3 further includes a baffle 36. The baffle 36 is cooperatively installed with the discharge port 35. The baffle 36 is rotatably connected to the discharge port 35.
[0032] In some embodiments, the baffle 36 is connected to the discharge port 35 through a spring hinge.
[0033] A baffle 36 is provided at the discharge port 35. Normally, the baffle 36 covers the discharge port 35. The baffle 36 is connected to the body 1 through a spring hinge. When cleaning is not required, the baffle 36 cooperates with the discharge port 35 under the action of the spring hinge to block the discharge port 35 to prevent the mouse from drilling out of the discharge port 35. When the cleaning component 3 works, the scraper 31 pushes the waste bedding to the discharge port 35. The waste bedding abuts against the baffle 36 to make the baffle 36 open, and the waste bedding is pushed out to be cleaned out of the body 1.
[0034] As Figure 3As shown in the figure, it further includes a bedding adding component 4. The bedding adding component 4 includes a bedding bin switch 41, a third driving motor 42, a bottom plate 43, side plates 44, a driving rod 45 and an eccentric block 46. The bedding bin switch 41 is arranged on the inner wall of the body 1 opposite to the rolling curtain 21. After the rolling curtain 21 extends, it contacts the bedding bin switch 41. The bedding bin switch 41 is electrically connected to the third driving motor 42. The bottom plate 43, two side plates 44 and the inner wall of the body 1 enclose a square groove with an open top. The driving rod 45 is arranged in the square groove. The eccentric block 46 is arranged on the driving rod 45. The distance between the driving rod 45 and the bottom plate 43 is less than the rotation radius of the eccentric block 46. The third driving motor 42 is arranged on the outer wall of the body 1 and is electrically connected to the driving rod 45.
[0035] The bedding adding component 4 is a square groove with an open top formed by the bottom plate 43, two side plates 44 and the side wall of the body 1. The bedding is placed in the square groove. One end of the bottom plate 43 is connected to the bottom of one side plate 44 through a spring hinge. The other end of the bottom plate 43 contacts the bottom of the other side plate 44 under the elastic force of the spring hinge. Applying pressure to the bottom plate 43 will cause the bottom plate 43 to rotate downward around the axis of the spring hinge as the central axis, so that the other end of the bottom plate 43 separates from the bottom of the other side plate 44. The greater the force, the greater the separation distance.
[0036] Above the bottom plate 43 is provided a driving rod 45. One end of the driving rod 45 passes through the body 1 and is connected to the third driving motor 42. An eccentric block 46 is arranged on the driving rod 45. By driving the driving rod 45 to rotate through the third driving motor 42, the eccentric block 46 on the driving rod 45 is driven to rotate. When the eccentric block 46 rotates to contact the bottom plate 43, it presses against the bottom plate 43 with the rotational force and inertia until the bottom plate 43 separates from the side plate 44, and the bedding will fall from the separated gap, easily realizing the addition of bedding.
[0037] When the rolling curtain 21 of the isolation component 2 extends from the initial rolling curtain storage bin 25 to the other end until it contacts the bedding bin switch 41 arranged oppositely on the body 1, at this time the rolling curtain 21 activates the bedding bin switch 41. At this time, the third driving motor 42 electrically connected to the bedding bin switch 41 starts to rotate. The third driving motor 42 drives the driving rod 45 to rotate, and then drives the eccentric block 46 on the driving rod 45 to rotate. When the eccentric block 46 rotates to contact the bottom plate 43, it presses against the bottom plate 43 with the rotational force and inertia until the bottom plate 43 separates from the side plate 44, and the bedding will fall from the separated gap, easily realizing the addition of bedding.
[0038] The bedding adding component 4 further includes a bedding brush 47 and a bedding bin switch 41. The bedding brush 47 is arranged on the top of the isolation component 2. The bedding brush 47 contacts the top of the isolation component 2, and both ends of the bedding brush 47 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the main body 1.
[0039] The newly added bedding all falls on the rolling curtain 21. When it is not necessary to continue adding bedding, the rolling curtain 21 of the isolation component 2 will contract, and the rolling curtain 21 is separated from the bedding bin switch 41. At this time, the bedding bin switch 41 is closed, and the third drive motor 42 stops rotating. The eccentric block 46 on the drive rod 45 will stop rotating and will not push against the bottom plate 43. At this time, the bottom plate 43, the two side plates 44 and the inner wall of the main body 1 enclose a square groove with an open top, and there will be no opening for the newly fallen material to fall, so the addition of new bedding stops.
[0040] The bedding adding component 4 further includes a bedding brush 47. The bedding brush 47 is arranged on the top of the rolling curtain 21. The bedding brush 47 contacts the top of the rolling curtain 21, and both ends of the bedding brush 47 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the main body 1.
[0041] The added bedding all falls on the rolling curtain 21. When it is not necessary to continue adding bedding, the rolling curtain 21 of the isolation component 2 will contract. During the contraction of the rolling curtain 21, the bedding brush 47 arranged on the top of the rolling curtain 21 remains stationary, blocking the bedding on the rolling curtain 21 until the bedding is pushed and falls to the bottom of the main body 1.
[0042] In some embodiments, the rolling curtain track 24 has a downward inclination trend from the end close to the rolling curtain winding bin 25 to the end close to the bedding bin switch 41, making it easier for the bedding falling on the rolling curtain 21 to slide off.
[0043] As Figure 3 shown, the mouse cage further includes an automatic feeding component 5. The automatic feeding component 5 includes a water tray 51 and a water storage bin 53. The water storage bin 53 is arranged on the inner wall of the main body 1 opposite to the isolation component 2. The top of the water storage bin 53 is flush with the top of the main body 1 and has an open top. The water tray 51 is arranged at the bottom of the water storage bin 53. A water level sensor is arranged in the water tray 51, and a water inlet solenoid valve is arranged in the water storage bin 53. The water level sensor is electrically connected to the water inlet solenoid valve.
[0044] When the water level sensor in the water tray 51 senses that the water level drops to a certain standard, the water level sensor will control the water inlet solenoid valve to open, so that the water in the water storage bin 53 flows into the water tray 51. When the water level sensor in the water tray 51 senses that the water is full, it will control the water inlet solenoid valve to close and stop the water in the water storage bin 53 from continuing to flow into the water tray 51. Thus, the automatic water supply is completed, liberating both hands.
[0045] The automatic feeding component 5 further includes a food tray 52 and a food storage bin 54. The food storage bin 54 is in contact with the water storage bin 53 and is arranged side by side on the inner wall of the body 1. The top of the food storage bin 54 is flush with the top of the body 1 and has an opening at the top. The food tray 52 is arranged at the bottom of the water storage bin 53. A position sensor is arranged in the food tray 52, and a solenoid valve is arranged in the food storage bin 54. The position sensor is electrically connected to the solenoid valve.
[0046] When the sensor in the food tray 52 senses that the accumulation height of the food has dropped to a certain position, the sensor will control the solenoid valve to open, so that the food in the food storage bin 54 falls into the food tray 52. When the sensor in the food tray 52 senses that the food has reached the full height, it will control the solenoid valve to close and stop the food in the food storage bin 54 from continuing to fall into the food tray 52. Thus, automatic food feeding is completed, freeing the hands. The automatic feeding component 5 can realize automatic addition of water and food, reducing the labor cost.
[0047] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
