Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of experimental equipment, in particular to an armor device for experiments on non-human primates. Background Art

[0002] Non-human primates are the closest species to humans, sharing 75-98% genetic homology. They are highly similar to humans in physiology, morphology, and function, displaying many biological and behavioral traits similar to humans, making them ideal animal models for addressing fundamental human health issues and preclinical research. Intravenous catheterization and electrode extraction procedures in non-human primates require that tubes or wires be inserted through the skin and secured, leaving them exposed for extended periods. This allows for direct or indirect (via a venous protective tube) connection to a syringe pump or electrical stimulator to complete the experiment. Different experiments require varying placement and duration of tube placement in conscious non-human primates. For example, studies of long-term drug addiction require long-term indwelling of tubes on the non-human primate's body, which are susceptible to damage by the limbs. Therefore, ensuring the integrity of indwelling tubes in conscious non-human primates is a crucial issue.

[0003] For example, the public document with application number 202120899224.6 discloses an experimental armor device for non-human primates. The back plate of this utility model is made of aluminum alloy, which greatly reduces the weight of the armor device, makes the animal more comfortable to wear, and maximizes the protection of the animal's welfare. The outside of the back plate is wrapped with gauze, and the outer side of the connecting steel wire is provided with a rubber protective tube to prevent the long-term wearing of the armor device from causing friction between the animal's shoulders and abdomen, resulting in skin ulcers and even infection. The side panels of the indwelling tube protection box are detachable, and the integrity of the back indwelling tube can be checked regularly. However, when installing the retention tube, the experimental armor device for non-human primates is directly inserted into the docking, which can easily cause the retention tube to shake and deviate, affecting the docking accuracy, and excessive shaking or contact with foreign objects may also cause the retention tube to fall off, affecting stability.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, the shortcomings of the existing structure are studied and improved, and an experimental armor device for non-human primates is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide an armor device for experiments on non-human primates to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an armor device for experiments on non-human primates, comprising a belly plate, a connection box fixedly mounted on the front surface of the belly plate, a through-hole provided on the surface of the connection box, the through-hole being connected to the rear side of the belly plate, a retention tube being inserted into the through-hole, and a fixing mechanism being mounted on the inner surface of the connection box.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a guide rod and a bidirectional screw rod installed on the inner surface of the connection box in sequence from top to bottom, the guide rod is fixedly connected to the connection box, and the bidirectional screw rod is rotatably connected to the connection box.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing mechanism further comprises movable plates provided on the left and right sides of the surfaces of the guide rod and the bidirectional screw rod, and arc-shaped plates are fixedly mounted on the middle of the upper and lower corresponding ends of the movable plates.

[0009] Preferably, shoulder adjustment steel ropes are fixedly installed on the left and right sides and the upper and lower parts of the surface of the web through adjustment locking pieces, and a back plate is fixedly installed on the rear end of the shoulder adjustment steel ropes.

[0010] Preferably, soft cotton is fixedly installed on the front side of the surface of the back plate and the rear side of the surface of the web, and non-woven fabric is fixedly provided on the opposite side of the soft cotton.

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the non-woven fabric is provided with pores, and the pores run through the entire back plate and the web.

[0012] Preferably, lugs are fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the upper end of the back plate, and the upper end of the lug is fixedly sleeved with a shoulder adjustment steel rope, and the front end of the shoulder adjustment steel rope is fixedly connected to the web by an adjustment locking piece.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] 1. The utility model is provided with a fixing mechanism, a bidirectional screw, a guide rod, a movable plate and a curved plate. By rotating the bidirectional screw, the movable plate and the curved plate are moved in opposite directions under the limit of the guide rod, thereby fixing the inserted retention tube, preventing the retention tube from loosening and falling off, and allowing the retention tube to be installed more stably through the perforation.

[0015] 2. This utility model utilizes soft cotton, non-woven fabric, and air holes. When the entire armor is worn on an animal's body, the non-woven fabric comes into contact with the body's surface first. The non-woven fabric itself has breathability and adsorption capacity, and combined with the soft cotton, it softens the contact surface, preventing damage caused by hard contact between the armor and the body, making it more comfortable to wear. At the same time, the air holes increase the contact surface with air, ensuring air circulation inside the armor, thereby preventing acne caused by overheating.

[0016] 3. The utility model is provided with a belly plate, a back plate, a shoulder adjustment steel rope and a shoulder adjustment steel rope. When the armor is worn, the animal's arms pass between the shoulder adjustment steel rope and the shoulder adjustment steel rope on the same side. The belly plate and the back plate can be fixed tightly to the surface of the animal's body by using the adjustable shoulder adjustment steel rope and the shoulder adjustment steel rope, and the shoulder adjustment steel rope below can tighten the abdomen, thereby ensuring that the entire armor can be stably and firmly worn by the animal.

The guide rod 502 is fixedly connected to the connection box 2, and the bidirectional screw rod 501 is rotatably connected to the connection box 2.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the bidirectional screw rod 501 can be rotated and the guide rod 502 can be positioned.

[0026] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism 5 further includes movable plates 503 provided on the left and right sides of the surfaces of the guide rod 502 and the bidirectional screw rod 501, and an arc-shaped plate 504 is fixedly installed at the middle of the upper and lower corresponding ends of the movable plate 503;

[0027] The movable plate 503 is slidably connected to the guide rod 502 and is threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw rod 501 .

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the bidirectional screw rod 501 rotates, and under the limitation of the guide rod 502, the whole formed by the movable plate 503 and the arc plate 504 moves in opposite directions, thereby fixing the inserted retention tube 4.

[0029] Furthermore, shoulder adjustment steel ropes 6 are fixedly installed on the left and right sides and the upper and lower parts of the surface of the web 1 through adjustment locking pieces, and a back plate 7 is fixedly installed on the rear end of the shoulder adjustment steel ropes 6.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the under-shoulder adjustment steel rope 6 is divided into two, which can tighten the back plate 7 and the belly plate 1 at the abdominal position of the torso.

[0031] Furthermore, soft cotton 8 is fixedly installed on the front side of the surface of the back plate 7 and the rear side of the surface of the web 1 , and non-woven fabric 9 is fixedly provided on the opposite side of the soft cotton 8 .

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the non-woven fabric 9 contacts the body surface first. The non-woven fabric 9 itself has air permeability and adsorption capacity. Together with the soft cotton 8, it can make the contact surface softer, avoiding damage caused by hard contact between the armor and the body.

[0033] Furthermore, air holes 10 are formed on the surface of the non-woven fabric 9 , and the air holes 10 run through the entire back plate 7 and the web 1 .

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the air holes 10 increase the contact surface with the air, ensuring air circulation inside the armor, thereby avoiding acne caused by heat.

When the entire armor is worn on the animal's body, the non-woven fabric 9 first contacts the body surface. The non-woven fabric 9 itself has air permeability and adsorption capacity, and the non-woven fabric 9 is breathable and absorbent. The soft cotton 8 can make the contact surface softer, avoid damage caused by hard contact between the armor and the body, and make it more comfortable to wear. At the same time, the air holes 10 increase the contact surface with the air, ensuring air circulation inside the armor, thereby avoiding acne caused by heat. After wearing, the retention tube 4 is passed through the perforation 3 through the connection box 2 and connected to the animal's body. Then, the two-way screw rod 501 is rotated, and under the limit of the guide rod 502, the whole formed by the movable plate 503 and the curved plate 504 is moved in opposite directions, thereby fixing the inserted retention tube 4. This is the working principle of the experimental armor device for non-human primates.
