[0002] Chinese patent document CN 212346801 U discloses one which includes a barrel cover. The relative distance between two hoop rings is adjusted by a connecting column to adapt to the length of the experimental mouse. The front and rear hoop rings respectively bind the armpit and groin parts of the experimental mouse, so that the experimental mouse is suspended on a suspension plate, ensuring that the abdomen of the experimental mouse faces downwards. The two barrel covers are closed, and the narrow space of the barrel cover 3 limits the limbs of the experimental mouse. When the experimental mouse is in the narrow space, due to the instinct of the animal, the experimental mouse will be in a calm state.

[0003] However, the device has the following problems. The relative distance between the two hoop rings can only be adjusted by a lock nut, with low adjustment efficiency and inconvenience. At the same time, when the barrel cover is closed to form a closed space for the experimental mouse, if it is closed too tightly, it is easy to squeeze the experimental mouse, and if it is closed too wide, the experimental mouse will move around, which is not conducive to the operation of the staff.
