[0023] The following individual embodiments are only for illustration. Combinations can be made between the individual embodiments, and it is not limited to the content shown in the following single embodiment.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1, the present utility model provides an underwater animal experiment support, which includes a support body 1, a loading platform 2, and a camera assembly 3; the loading platform 2 is arranged at one end of the support body 1; the camera assembly 3 is arranged at the other end of the support body 1 away from the loading platform 2; the camera assembly 3 includes a first support member 31, a camera 32, and a counterweight member 33; the first support member 31 is arranged on the loading platform 2, one end of the first support member 31 is connected to the camera 32, and the other end is connected to the counterweight member 33, and the camera 32 and the counterweight member 33 are respectively located on opposite sides of the support body 1. Specifically, the middle part of the first support member 31 can be fixedly arranged on the support body 1, and the installation position of the first support member 31 on the support body 1 can be located on the center line of the support body 1, with both ends suspended, one end connected to the counterweight member 33 and the other end connected to the camera 32, that is, the first support member 31 uses the support body 1 as a fulcrum to install the counterweight member 33 and the camera 32. In this way, the camera 32 is installed at a position deviating from the center of the support body 1, so that when the bubbles generated by the animal's breathing float upward, they gradually leave the monitoring screen, avoiding the bubbles generated by the animal's breathing from affecting the background experimenters' real-time monitoring of the underwater animal experiment situation. In addition, since the camera 32 is located on one side of the support body 1 and the camera 32 itself has a certain weight, it will cause the support body 1 to deviate to the side where the camera 32 is installed underwater, resulting in the experimental animal not being able to maintain at the corresponding water depth. Therefore, in this embodiment, a counterweight member 33 is introduced and arranged on the other side of the support body 1 opposite to the side where the camera 32 is installed, so as to balance the weight of the camera 32 and prevent the support body 1 from deviating to the side where the camera 32 is installed underwater. It can be understood that the first support member 31 can be a strip-shaped structure, and the counterweight member 33 is a structure made of metal or other materials with a certain weight. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 2-3 , in one embodiment, the camera 32 is rotatably connected to the first support member 31. Since the size of each experimental animal and the relative position where the experimental animal is placed on the loading platform 2 are different, resulting in different positions of the experimental animal in the monitoring screen, therefore, the camera 32 and the first support member 31 are set to be rotatably connected. After the experimental animal is placed on the loading platform 2, the camera 32 can be rotated to make the experimental animal be at the center position of the screen. In other embodiments, multiple experimental animals can be placed on the loading platform 2, and by adjusting the position of the camera 32, it can also ensure that all the animals placed on the loading platform 2 can be in the monitoring screen.

[0026] Specifically, the camera assembly 3 further includes a first connecting member 34, a second connecting member 35, and a first rotating shaft 36; the camera 32 is disposed on the first connecting member 34, and the second connecting member 35 is disposed on the first support member 31; the first connecting member 34 is rotatably connected to the second connecting member 35 through the first rotating shaft 36. The camera 32 and the first connecting member 34 can be fixedly arranged, and the second connecting member 35 and the first support member 31 can also be rotatably arranged. As Figure 2 shown, the angle of the camera 32 in the B direction can be adjusted by using the first rotating shaft 36, and the angle in the C direction can be adjusted by using the second connecting member 35 and the first support member 31, so as to enable the camera 32 to obtain monitoring images at multiple angles. The first connecting member 34 can be two mounting plates respectively disposed on both sides of the camera 32, and connection holes for mounting the first rotating shaft 36 are provided on the mounting plates, and the first rotating shaft 36 is fixedly connected to the mounting holes; the second connecting member 35 can be a connecting structure with a concave structure, which is respectively connected to the first support member 31 and the two connecting plates, and the first rotating shaft 36 and the second connecting member 35 are rotatably connected.
