[0025] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific embodiments. People familiar with this technology can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification.

[0026] Please refer to all the following drawings. It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification for people familiar with this technology to understand and read, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions for the implementation of this utility model. Therefore, they have no technical substantive significance.

At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" quoted in this specification are only for the convenience of description, and are not used to limit the scope of the implementation of this utility model. Changes or adjustments in their relative relationships should also be regarded as the scope of the implementation of this utility model without substantially changing the technical content.

[0027] The following embodiments are for illustration only and can be combined with each other, and are not limited to the contents presented in the following single embodiments.

[0028] See also Figure 1-2 The present invention provides an assembled underwater animal restraint cage, which includes a restraint cage body 1 and a limiting assembly 2; the limiting assembly 2 is arranged on the outer surface of the restraint cage body 1; the limiting assembly 2 includes a first limiting member 21 and a second limiting member 22; the first limiting member 21 is provided with a first chute 211 extending along its length direction, and the first chute 211 runs through the entire length of the first limiting member 21; one end of the second limiting member 22 is connected to the first limiting member 21, used to close the first chute 211; the end of the second limiting member 22 away from the first limiting member 21 is flush with the outer surface of the restraint cage body 1. Specifically, the first limiting member 21 can be a long strip structure, which is arranged on the restraint cage body 1, and the first chute 211 is a groove arranged on the side of the first limiting member 21, one end of the groove is connected to the second limiting member 22, and the other end can be provided with a guide portion. The second limiting member 22 can be a limiting plate arranged on the first limiting member 21, which is used to close one end of the first chute 211. The guide portion can be an inclined surface cut into the side of the first chute 211. This facilitates guiding the first chute 211 when the underwater animal restraint cage is installed on the loading platform 4, ensuring that the first chute 211 can connect with the limiting structure provided on the loading platform 4. In one embodiment, there are two first limiting members 21 and second limiting members 22. The two first limiting members 21 are spaced apart at the top of the restraint cage body 1, and the first limiting members 21 and the second limiting members 22 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. The two first limiting members 21 ensure that the relative position of the assembled underwater animal restraint cage does not change when it is on the loading platform 4.

[0029] The restraint cage body 1 is a cage-like structure with an opening on one side formed by multiple hollow plates; the length of the top hollow plate of the restraint cage body 1 is shorter than the length of the bottom hollow plate. Specifically, the restraint cage body 1 is a cage-like structure formed by five hollow plates, one side of which is not provided with a hollow plate, i.e., an opening is formed; the length of the top hollow plate forming the restraint cage body 1 is shorter than the length of the bottom hollow plate, so that the bottom hollow plate is extended out of the opening. When conducting animal experiments, the animal can be placed into the assembled underwater animal restraint cage through the opening of the restraint cage body 1, and because the animal's mouth needs to be provided with equipment such as a breathing mask during the experiment, the bottom hollow plate is extended out of the opening so that the animal's mouth can be extended out of the opening, making it easier for the experimenter to place equipment such as a breathing mask in the animal's mouth, and also providing a support place for the animal's mouth.

[0030] Moving wheels 3 are also provided at the bottom of the restraint cage body 1; by providing the moving wheels 3 at the bottom of the restraint cage body 1, the assembled underwater animal restraint cage can be easily moved.

[0031] See also Figure 3-4 On the other hand, the utility model further provides a self-balancing restraint system, including the two above-mentioned assembled underwater animal restraint cages, and also including a loading platform 4, an underwater automatic balancer 5, two rotating plates 6 and a fixing assembly 7; the two assembled underwater animal restraint cages are respectively arranged on one end of the loading platform 4; a third limiting member 41 is provided on the loading platform 4, the third limiting member 41 is used to be connected to the first slide groove 211 of the first limiting member 21, and the second limiting member 22 is used to abut against the end of the third limiting member 41; the two rotating plates 6 are respectively rotatably connected to one end of the loading platform 4; one side of the rotating plate 6 is used to abut against the outer side surface of the assembled underwater animal restraint cage; one end of the fixing assembly 7 is connected to the rotating plate 6, and the other end is connected to the loading platform 4, for fixing the rotating plate 6 on the loading platform 4; the underwater automatic balancer 5 is arranged at the bottom of the loading platform 4, for keeping the two ends of the loading platform 4 balanced. Specifically, the two ends of the loading platform 4 are respectively used to install an assembled underwater animal restraint cage, and the two assembled underwater animal restraint cages are symmetrically arranged after being installed on the loading platform 4. One end of the two rotating plates 6 is rotatably connected to the loading platform 4. Specifically, one end of the two rotating plates 6 is connected to the loading platform 4 via a rotating shaft, and the rotation connection position of the rotating plates 6 and the loading platform 4 is located on the bottom side of the loading platform 4 to avoid obstruction when the assembled underwater animal restraint cage is installed on the loading platform 4; the other ends of the two rotating plates 6 are tilted. When the rotating plates 6 rotate, the tilted end can contact the ground, while the other end remains connected to the loading platform 4. Therefore, the rotating plates 6 can serve as a guide surface. When the assembled underwater animal restraint cage is installed on the loading platform 4, the movable wheels 3 of the assembled underwater animal restraint cage can slide on the guide surface, which is convenient for the experimenter to install.

[0032] When the assembled underwater animal restraint cage is installed on the loading platform 4, Figure 3 The rear side of the assembled underwater animal restraint cage is installed as an example. The assembled underwater animal restraint cage is pushed from the end of the loading platform 4 into the loading platform 4, that is, the first slide groove 211 of the first limiting member 21 slides along the third limiting member 41, that is, Figure 3In the forward direction, at this time, the first slide 211 and the third limiting member 41 limit the vertical and left-right directions of the assembled underwater animal restraint cage; when the assembled underwater animal restraint cage is installed in place, the second limiting member 22 abuts the end of the third limiting member 41, and the assembled underwater animal restraint cage can no longer move into the loading platform 4, thus limiting the forward movement of the assembled underwater animal restraint cage; then, the rotating plate 6 is rotated so that the side surface of the rotating plate 6 abuts the outer side surface of the assembled underwater animal restraint cage, and after abutment, the rotating plate 6 is fixed to the loading platform 4 with the fixing assembly 7, thus limiting the backward movement of the assembled underwater animal restraint cage. After the assembled underwater animal restraint cage is limited by the first limiting member 21, the second limiting member 22, the third limiting member 41, the rotating plate 6 and the fixing assembly 7, the assembled underwater animal restraint cage is fixed to the loading platform 4.

[0033] See also Figure 2 、 56. The underwater automatic balancer 5 includes a support member 51, a counterweight assembly 52, a drive assembly 53, an electrification assembly 54, and a distribution box; the drive assembly 53, the counterweight assembly 52, and the electrification assembly 54 are arranged on the support member 51; there are two counterweight assemblies 52 and two drive assemblies 53, and a counterweight assembly 52 is provided at each end of the support member 51, and the drive assembly 53 and the counterweight assembly 52 are arranged one to one; the electrification assembly 54 is arranged between the two counterweight assemblies 52; the electrification assembly 54 includes a first accommodating cavity 541, a conductive member 54 2 and four electrodes 543; the first accommodating cavity 541 is set on the support member 51; two electrodes 543 are respectively set at both ends of the first accommodating cavity 541, one of the two electrodes 543 set at one end of the first accommodating cavity 541 is connected to the distribution box, and the other electrode 543 is connected to the driving component 53; the conductive member 542 is movably set in the first accommodating cavity 541, and when the conductive member 542 moves to one end of the first accommodating cavity 541, it is used to conduct electricity between the two electrodes 543 set on the first accommodating cavity 541. The first accommodating cavity 541 can be set in the support member 51, specifically, the support member 51 is provided with a groove for accommodating the electrode 543 and the conductive member 542. After the electrode 543 and the conductive member 542 are set in the groove, a cover plate is set at the opening of the groove to realize the placement of the electrode 543 and the conductive member 542 in the groove and achieve sealing to prevent water from entering the groove and affecting the electrical connection between the conductive member 542 and the electrode 543. It is understandable that the conductive member 542 and the groove are clearance-matched so that the conductive member 542 can slide in the groove. In addition, the groove can be set in the center of the support member 51, so that the weights of the two counterweight assemblies 52 can be set to be the same, that is, the counterweight assemblies 52 can be produced in the same batch, reducing production costs. The electrodes 543 are divided into two groups, and the two groups of electrodes 543 are symmetrically arranged on the sides of the groove. One of the electrodes 543 in each group is connected to the distribution box, and the other is connected to the drive assembly 53. Due to factors such as the different weights of the animals in the assembled underwater animal restraint cages fixed at both ends of the loading platform 4, the weights at both ends of the loading platform 4 are different. When the loading platform 4 is hoisted or placed underwater, the loading platform 4 will tilt toward the heavier end, that is, the support member 51 will be tilted. When the support member 51 is tilted, the conductive member 542 slides toward the lower end of the support member 51 by gravity, and then the conductive member 542 is respectively connected to the two electrodes 543 at the lower end, so that the power on the distribution box is transmitted to the driving component 53 through the electrodes 543. After the driving component 53 is energized, it drives the counterweight component 52 at the lower end to move toward the middle of the support member 51, that is, it moves toward the direction close to the conductive member 542, so that the support member 51 gradually becomes flush with the horizontal plane.When the support member 51 is flush with the horizontal plane, the conductive member 542 is located in the middle of the first accommodating cavity 541. This means that the conductive member 542 is not in contact with either set of electrodes 543, neither drive assembly 53 is powered, and the relative position of the counterweight assembly 52 and the support member 51 remains unchanged. The distribution box can be located on the loading platform 4 of the underwater animal experiment device, or on the support member 51, between the two counterweight assemblies 52. This is not a limitation of the present invention. It is understood that the distribution box and electrodes 543, and the electrodes 543 and drive assembly 53, can be electrically connected via cables.

[0034] The conductive member 542 can be made of a conductive material, or the outer side of the conductive member 542 can be wrapped with a wrapping layer made of a conductive material, which is not limited by the present invention. In this embodiment, the conductive member 542 is a spherical structure to reduce the friction between the conductive member 542 and the side wall of the first accommodating cavity 541, thereby improving the sensitivity of the energized component 54; and because the conductive member will cause a certain amount of wear on the side of the first accommodating cavity and the conductive member when it moves in the first accommodating cavity, it is set to a spherical structure. Its rolling characteristics can be used to avoid the wear of the conductive member being concentrated on one side, thereby avoiding the conductive member from being unable to contact the electrode due to wear. More specifically, in this embodiment, the conductive member 542 is a metal ball. Of course, in other embodiments, the conductive member 542 can also be of other shapes, which is not limited by the present invention, as long as it can achieve the goal of connecting each group of electrodes 543.

[0035] The underwater automatic balancer 5 also includes a water-sensitive switch 55, mounted on the support member 51. One end of the water-sensitive switch 55 is connected to the distribution box, and the other end is connected to an electrode 543 connected to the distribution box; alternatively, one end of the water-sensitive switch 55 is connected to the drive assembly 53, and the other end is connected to an electrode 543 connected to the drive assembly 53. The water-sensitive switch 55 is a switch device capable of detecting water flow and water level changes. Its primary function is to convert the detected water flow signal into an electrical signal, thereby triggering or shutting down the operation of the circuit controller, achieving precise positioning and control of water flow or water level changes. Specifically, two water-sensitive switches are provided, one for each drive assembly 53. The water-sensitive switches 55 automatically disconnect the electrical connection between the distribution box and the electrode 543, or between the electrode 543 and the drive assembly 53, when the underwater automatic balancer 5 is in air. This prevents the conductive member 542 from driving the drive assembly 53, and thus the counterweight assembly 52, from moving during transport or installation of the underwater automatic balancer 5. When the underwater automatic balancer 5 is underwater, the water-sensitive switch 55 automatically restores the electrical connection between the distribution box and the electrode 543 or the electrode 543 and the drive assembly 53. At this time, the connection between the conductive member 542 and each group of electrodes 543 can keep the balancer parallel to the horizontal plane.

[0036] The drive assembly 53 includes a drive member 531, a belt 532, a first pulley 533, and a second pulley 534. The support member 51 is provided with a second accommodating chamber 511, and the belt 532, the first pulley 533, and the second pulley 534 are arranged in the second accommodating chamber 511. The first pulley 533 is arranged at one end of the second accommodating chamber 511, and the second pulley 534 is arranged at the end of the second accommodating chamber 511 away from the first pulley 533. The belt 532 is sleeved on the first pulley 533 and the second pulley 534. The first pulley 533 is connected to the drive member 531. The counterweight assembly 52 is connected to the suspended section of the belt 532. The support member 51 may be provided with a second accommodating chamber 511, and the belt 532, the first pulley 533, and the second pulley 534 are arranged in the second accommodating chamber 511. Specifically, the second accommodating chamber 511 may be a groove provided on the support member 51, or other structures, which are not limited in this embodiment. The drive shaft of the driving member 531 can extend into the second accommodating cavity 511 and connect to the first pulley 533. The connection structure between the counterweight assembly 52 and the belt 532 is arranged on the suspended section of the belt 532. The driving member 531 is connected to the first pulley 533 to drive the first pulley 533 to rotate, thereby driving the movement of the counterweight 521. The driving member 531 can be a power output device such as a motor or a cylinder. In this embodiment, the driving member 531 is a motor.

[0037] The driving members 531 of the two driving assemblies 53 are respectively arranged on the opposite side surfaces of the support member 51. Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, one of the driving members 531 is disposed on the front side of the support member 51, and the other driving member 531 is disposed on the rear side of the support member 51. It is understandable that, since the driving members 531 have a certain weight, if both driving members 531 are disposed on the front side or the rear side at the same time, the balancer 5 will tilt toward the side where the two driving members 531 are disposed due to the influence of the gravity of the driving members 531. In addition, in other embodiments, the driving members 531 may be disposed on both the upper side and the lower side of the support member 51, or one of the driving members 531 may be disposed on the upper side and the other on the lower side. Since the driving members 531 are disposed on both the upper side and the lower side, or one of the driving members 531 is disposed on the upper side and the other on the lower side, the weight of the front and rear sides of the support member 51 can be kept consistent, and thus the underwater automatic balancer 5 will not tilt toward the front side or the rear side.

[0038] The counterweight assembly 52 includes a counterweight 521 and a connector 522; the connector 522 is mounted on the support 51, and the connector 522 is slidably connected to the support 51, and the counterweight 521 is connected to the belt 532 via the connector 522. Specifically, the connector 522 may be provided with a through hole that matches the shape of the support 51, and the connector 522 is mounted on the support 51 using the through hole, and the sliding connection can be achieved by utilizing the surface contact between the through hole and the support 51. The counterweight 521 can be cylindrical or square in structure, and the connector 522 is set at the center of gravity of the counterweight 521 to ensure that the underwater automatic balancer 5 does not tilt due to the inconsistent weight of the counterweight 521 on the front and rear sides of the support 51.

[0039] See also Figure 4 The third retaining member 41 is provided with a second chute 411 extending along its length. The second chute 411 runs through the entire length of the third retaining member 41. The first chute 211 of the first retaining member 21 is slidably connected to the second chute 411. The third retaining member 41 can be a strip-shaped structure, and the second chute 411 is a groove provided on the strip. The provision of the second chute 411 connects the first chute 211 and the second chute 411 during installation. The connection of the two chute grooves not only limits the vertical and front-back positions of the assembled underwater animal restraint cage, but also facilitates installation of the assembled underwater animal restraint cage.

[0040] See also Figure 4 The rotating plate 6 is provided with a third chute 61 for guiding the moving wheel 3 of the assembled underwater animal restraint cage. During installation, the third chute 61 is used to guide the moving wheel 3, making it easier to install the assembled underwater animal restraint cage on the loading platform 4.

[0041] See also Figure 7The fixing assembly 7 includes a first adapter plate 71, a second adapter plate 72, a handle 73, and a locking piece 74; the first adapter plate 71 is arranged on the side of the rotating plate 6, and the handle 73 is rotatably connected to the first adapter plate 71; the second adapter plate 72 is arranged on the side of the loading platform 4, and a lock buckle 721 for connecting with the locking piece 74 is provided on the second adapter plate 72; one end of the locking piece 74 is connected to the handle 73, and the other end is detachably connected to the lock buckle 721 of the second adapter plate 72. Specifically, the first adapter plate 71 serves as the mounting structure for the handle 73 and can be fixed to the rotating plate 6 by means of bolts or other means. The first adapter plate 71 can be provided with a rotating shaft, and the handle 73 is rotatably connected to the first adapter plate 71 via the rotating shaft. The second adapter plate 72 can be fixed to the loading platform 4 by means of bolts or other means. The lock 721 can be a slot provided on the second adapter plate 72. The locking member 74 can be a U-shaped structure, with its open end connected to the middle part of the handle 73. When the adapter plate is fixed, the middle part of the U-shaped structure connects to the lock 721, that is, connects to the slot.
