[0002] In the fields of life science and medicine, some living animals are often used for scientific research. Mice are a common experimental animal in biological laboratories. Before dissecting live mice, they generally need to be placed in a box and raised for several days. After searching, the patent document with the authorization announcement number CN218043092U discloses a mouse incubator with good temperature control effect. In view of the problem that the existing mouse incubator does not have temperature control and the internal buffering performance is poor, which is easy to cause harm to mice during transportation, the following solution is proposed, which includes an incubator body, a cover, a buffer bottom plate, an inner box body, a buffer assembly, a feeding box and two feeding assemblies, the cover plate is installed on the top of the incubator body, the buffer bottom plate is slidably installed in the incubator body, the inner box body is slidably installed on the top of the buffer bottom plate, the top of the inner box body is installed with a top plate, the top of the top plate is provided with a through hole, the feeding box is fixedly installed in the through hole, and two feeding assemblies are both arranged on the feeding box.
[0003] In actual use, it is found that commonly used mouse incubators do not usually have the function of automatically cleaning the mouse excrement remaining inside the incubator during use. Usually, staff members manually use cleaning tools to manually clean and scrub the inside of the incubator on a regular basis, and manually clean out the waste gas. After cleaning, they use a towel to wipe the inside of the incubator clean. The operation process is relatively cumbersome, so we proposed a mouse incubator with a cleaning device to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content
