Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of temperature regulating devices, in particular to a temperature regulating device for a mouse breeding box. Background Art
[0002] The temperature regulating device of a mouse breeding box is a system specifically designed to control the internal temperature of a mouse breeding box in a laboratory or research facility. This device is crucial because mice, as warm-blooded animals, are very sensitive to environmental temperature, and inappropriate temperatures may affect their health, reproduction, and behavioral performance.
[0003] Therefore, the temperature regulating device is very important in mouse breeding. In the prior art, the sensitivity and precision of the temperature regulating device have been very high, but the process of temperature regulation will cause changes in humidity. When the temperature is relatively high, it may cause excessive evaporation of water vapor in the mouse breeding box, resulting in a relatively low humidity inside the breeding box. When the humidity inside the mouse breeding box changes with the temperature control of the temperature regulating device, it will greatly affect the normal growth and development of mice. Therefore, it is very necessary to propose a temperature control device with a humidity control function. Therefore, we propose a temperature regulating device for a mouse breeding box. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] Preferably, the cabinet door is provided with a handle.
[0009] Preferably, the two sides of the water pump are connected with a water suction pipe and a water injection pipe. The water injection pipe passes through to the inside of the mouse breeding box and the lower end of the water injection pipe is located above the water tray.
[0010] By adopting the above scheme, starting the water pump can inject water into the water tray through the water injection pipe, realizing the function of automatic water addition.
[0011] Preferably, a ventilation pipe is installed on the mouse breeding box.
[0012] Preferably, the refrigeration compressor, the condenser pipe and the evaporative cooling pipe are interconnected.
[0013] By adopting the above scheme, after the refrigeration compressor is started, the compressed liquid is input into the condenser pipe through the throttle pipe at its port. The condenser pipe preliminarily cools the compressed liquid, and then it is input into the evaporative cooling pipe. The solution in the evaporative cooling pipe vaporizes and absorbs heat, so the temperature in the mouse breeding box is absorbed and it vaporizes itself. The vaporized gas is filtered through the filter at the reflux port of the refrigeration compressor and refluxes to the refrigeration compressor. Under the continuous operation of the refrigeration compressor, the cooling effect of the mouse breeding box is realized.
[0014] Preferably, a bearing plate is installed inside the mouse breeding box, and a fence is installed on the bearing plate.
[0015] Preferably, a chute with the same thickness as the bearing plate is opened inside the mouse breeding box, and the bearing plate is slidably connected with the chute.

[0017] Preferably, a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor are installed on the inner top of the mouse breeding box, and both the temperature sensor and the humidity sensor are electrically connected to the controller.
[0018] Preferably, the water tray is designed as a cone. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the controller, and a supplementary light is installed at the bottom of the water tray.
[0019] By adopting the above scheme, the water tray is designed as a cone. When injecting water into the water tray, the areas of the water levels with different liquid surface heights in contact with the air in the water tray are different. As the water level increases, the water surface area increases, and thus the evaporation amount increases.
[0020] Preferably, a transparent observation window is arranged on the side of the mouse breeding box.
[0021] By adopting the above scheme, the transparent observation window arranged on the side of the mouse breeding box is convenient for observing the production situation of the mice in the breeding box.
[0022] Compared with related technologies, a temperature regulation device for a mouse incubator proposed by the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] In the present utility model, for the temperature regulation device of the mouse incubator, through the provided temperature regulation mechanism, by cooperating key refrigeration components such as a refrigeration compressor, a condenser tube, and an evaporation cooling tube, the temperature inside the mouse incubator can be reduced. The heating tube at the inner bottom of the mouse incubator can be used to increase the temperature inside the mouse incubator. When the external ambient temperature is relatively low, the electric heating tube can be started to work to maintain a suitable temperature inside the mouse incubator. On the contrary, by starting the refrigeration compressor, a suitable temperature inside the mouse incubator can be maintained. The temperature control of this temperature control regulation mechanism has two functions of refrigeration and heating, with a wide regulation range. No matter whether the external temperature is high or low, the mouse incubator can always maintain a suitable cultivation temperature, improving the practicability.
[0024] In the present utility model, for the temperature adjustment device of a mouse breeding box, through the provided temperature cooperation mechanism, when the internal temperature of the mouse breeding box is controlled at a constant temperature, the evaporation rate inside the mouse breeding box remains unchanged under the action of temperature. The temperature cooperation mechanism utilizes this principle to inject water into the water tray through a water pump. The water tray is designed as a cone. At different liquid levels, the contact area between the water body in the water tray and the air is different, thereby achieving different evaporation amounts. The actual evaporation amount is also related to the total volume of the water body. In the present utility model, the water tray is set as a cone to magnify the influence of the water level height on the evaporation amount. The water vapor formed by the evaporation amount is directly related to the humidity inside the mouse breeding box. Therefore, by controlling the water level height in the water tray, the humidity range inside the mouse breeding box can be adjusted. A pressure sensor is installed between the floating seat and the inner side of the sliding seat in the temperature cooperation mechanism. When the bottom of the floating seat contacts the water surface, the pressure value of the pressure sensor changes from a negative value to a positive value. When the floating seat is above the water surface, due to the gravity of the floating seat, the pressure value on the pressure sensor is negative. Additionally, the height of the sliding seat can be controlled by an electric telescopic rod. Then, by driving the floating seat to adjust the height through the sliding seat, the water level height in the water tray can be quantitatively controlled. When the water level in the water tray drops due to evaporation, at this time, the pressure sensor senses the change in the pressure value and feeds the data back to the controller. The controller then controls the water pump to start injecting water into the water tray according to the pressure value signal. When the liquid level reaches the bottom of the floating seat and generates buoyancy, the pressure value feedback by the pressure sensor changes to a positive value. At this time, the controller controls the water pump to stop adding water, so that the water level height in the water tray always remains within the set range, thereby keeping the humidity on the inner wall of the mouse breeding box within the control range. At the same time, the water level height control value can also be adjusted by the electric telescopic rod, enabling the humidity value inside the mouse breeding box to be regulated according to requirements, improving the practicability, further realizing the strengthening effect on the temperature adjustment mechanism, and preventing the humidity loss inside the mouse breeding box caused by the temperature adjustment mechanism, thereby affecting the growth and development of mice.

[0031] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments.
[0032] Refer to Figures 1-5 , a temperature regulation device for a mouse breeding box, comprising a mouse breeding box 1, a box door 2 is rotatably installed on the front side of the mouse breeding box 1, a water pump 3 and a controller 4 are installed on the upper side of the mouse breeding box 1, a mounting plate 6 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the mouse breeding box 1, a temperature regulation mechanism is arranged on the mounting plate 6, the box door 2 is provided with a handle, and a transparent observation window 16 is arranged on the side of the mouse breeding box 1.
[0033] With the above structure, the setting of the transparent observation window 16 facilitates observing the growth status of the mice inside the mouse breeding box 1 in daily life.
[0034] In this embodiment, the temperature regulation mechanism includes a refrigeration compressor 7, a condenser pipe 8 and an evaporative cooling pipe 10 are respectively connected to both sides of the refrigeration compressor 7, the condenser pipe 8 is installed on the rear side of the mouse breeding box 1, the evaporative cooling pipe 10 penetrates into the inside of the mouse breeding box 1 and the evaporative cooling pipe 10 is installed on the inner wall of the evaporation, a heating pipe 9 is installed at the bottom of the mouse breeding box 1, a temperature matching mechanism 13 is arranged at the upper part inside the mouse breeding box 1, and the refrigeration compressor 7, the condenser pipe 8 and the evaporative cooling pipe 10 are interconnected.
[0035] With the above structure, by cooperating with key refrigeration components such as the refrigeration compressor 7, the condenser pipe 8 and the evaporative cooling pipe 10, the temperature inside the mouse breeding box 1 can be cooled and regulated, and the heating pipe 9 at the bottom inside the mouse breeding box 1 can be used to heat the inside of the mouse breeding box 1, realizing two functions of heating regulation and cooling regulation.
[0036] In this embodiment, the temperature matching mechanism 13 includes a suspension rod 131, which is fixedly installed at the inner top of the mouse breeding box 1. A water tray 132 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the suspension rod 131. A floating seat 133 and a sliding seat 134 are slidably installed on the suspension rod 131. A pressure sensor is installed between the inner sides of the floating seat 133 and the sliding seat 134. An electric telescopic rod 135 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the sliding seat 134, and the upper side of the electric telescopic rod 135 is fixedly connected to the top of the mouse breeding box 1.
[0037] With the above structure, a pressure sensor is installed between the inner sides of the floating seat 133 and the sliding seat 134. When the bottom of the floating seat starts to contact the water surface, the pressure value of the pressure sensor changes from negative to positive. When the floating seat is above the water surface, due to the gravitational force of the floating seat 133, the pressure value on the pressure sensor is negative. Therefore, the setting of the pressure sensor here can sense the height of the water level in the water tray 132.
[0038] In this embodiment, a suction pipe and a water injection pipe are connected to both sides of the water pump 3. The water injection pipe passes through to the inside of the mouse breeding box 1 and the lower end of the water injection pipe is located above the water tray 132.
[0039] With the above structure, by starting the water pump 3, water can be injected into the water tray 132 through the water injection pipe.
[0040] In this embodiment, a ventilation pipe 5 is installed on the mouse breeding box 1.
[0041] With the above structure, the ventilation pipe 5 installed on the mouse breeding box 1 realizes the air exchange between the inside and outside of the mouse breeding box 1, avoiding the situation of low oxygen content inside the mouse breeding box 1.
[0042] In this embodiment, a load-bearing plate 14 is installed inside the mouse breeding box 1. A fence 15 is installed on the load-bearing plate 14. A chute with the same thickness as the load-bearing plate 14 is opened inside the mouse breeding box 1, and the load-bearing plate 14 is slidably connected to the chute.
[0043] In this embodiment, a temperature sensor 11 and a humidity sensor 12 are installed at the inner top of the mouse breeding box 1. Both the temperature sensor 11 and the humidity sensor 12 are electrically connected to the controller 4.
[0044] With the above structure, both the temperature sensor 11 and the humidity sensor 12 are electrically connected to the controller 4. Then, the temperature and humidity conditions inside the mouse breeding box 1 are detected by the temperature sensor 11 and the humidity sensor 12, and the data is fed back to the controller 4, enabling the controller 4 to monitor the temperature and humidity inside the mouse breeding box 1 in real time.
[0045] In this embodiment, the water tray 132 is designed as a cone. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the controller 4. A supplementary light 136 is installed at the bottom of the water tray 132.
[0046] With the above structure, when water is injected into the water tray 132, the areas of the water levels at different liquid levels in contact with the air in the water tray 132 are different. As the water level increases, the water surface area increases, and thus the evaporation amount increases.
[0047] In the present utility model, during use, the temperature control and humidity control ranges inside the mouse breeding box 1 are output in the controller 4. According to the input parameters, the controller 4 activates the temperature adjustment mechanism. When the preset temperature is lower than the external temperature, the heating tube 9 starts to work, raising the internal temperature of the mouse breeding box 1 to reach the preset temperature control range. Using the feedback temperature data of the temperature sensor 11, the output power of the heating tube 9 is controlled to keep the internal temperature of the mouse breeding box 1 in a constant temperature balance state. When the external temperature is higher than the preset temperature of the mouse breeding box 1, the refrigeration compressor 7 starts to work, bringing the internal temperature of the mouse breeding box 1 to a dynamic balance within the preset value range. Additionally, the humidity sensor 12 adjusts the floating seat 133 to the corresponding height value according to the preset humidity adjustment range, controlling the water level of the water tray 132, thereby keeping the evaporation amount of the water in the water tray 132 relatively stable and the humidity inside the mouse breeding box 1 stable, without significant fluctuations due to the influence of the temperature adjustment mechanism, and keeping the internal humidity of the mouse breeding box 1 within a stable adjustable range. The above is the working process and principle of the present utility model. The temperature adjustment mechanism provided in the present utility model has two functions of refrigeration and heating, with a wide adjustment range. No matter the external temperature is high or low, it can always keep the inside of the mouse breeding box 1 at an appropriate breeding temperature, improving the practicability. Additionally, the provided temperature matching mechanism 13 enables the humidity value inside the mouse breeding box 1 to be regulated according to requirements, without being affected by temperature adjustment, realizing a perfect strengthening effect on the temperature adjustment mechanism and preventing humidity loss inside the mouse breeding box caused by the temperature adjustment mechanism, thereby affecting the growth and development of mice.
