[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tree shrew breeding, in particular to a water feeding device for tree shrew breeding with automatic water storage. Background Art

[0002] Tree shrews are small experimental animals that look like squirrels. Therefore, before conducting experiments, tree shrews need to be bred in advance according to needs so that there are enough tree shrews for experimental operations in subsequent experiments.

[0003] During use, since tree shrews need drinking water during breeding, the kettle is prone to insufficient water storage during the drinking process. If the experimenters are unable to replenish drinking water in time, the tree shrews may become thirsty and their health may deteriorate.

[0004] To overcome these shortcomings, the prior art (Chinese patent publication number CN208402851U, application date July 12, 2018) describes a device that improves the drinking method of tree shrews. One end of the fixture is connected to the output end of a circular cavity; the fixture comprises a sliding ring, a fixed ring, a right-angle rod, and a tray; one end of the right-angle rod is connected to the tray, and the other end is connected to the sliding ring; the fixed ring is mounted on the right-angle rod; the sliding ring and the fixed ring are located at the same end of the right-angle rod, with a gap between them. This device addresses the current problems of experimental tree shrews dying during the transition period and during the experiment due to inconvenient drinking water, the cumbersome refilling process of drinking water devices, and the unclear scale on the bottle of the original drinking device.

[0005] The above mechanism makes the drinking process more convenient by adjusting the water storage steps. However, in actual use, even if the water storage steps are adjusted, problems such as the water tank becoming dirty may occur, and the water tank needs to be cleaned separately.

[0013] Furthermore, a return spring is wound around the upper end of the outer side of the telescopic rod, and an elastic structure is formed between the telescopic rod and the water tank through the return spring.

[0014] Furthermore, the disassembly and assembly mechanism includes a mounting plate, and the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the telescopic rod, the front end of the mounting plate is rotatably connected to a rotating rod, and the front end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to a limiting block, the bottom end of the limiting block is fixedly connected to a steel wire, and a first hinged rod is provided at the rear end of the rotating rod at the front end of the mounting plate, and one end of the first hinged rod is rotatably connected to a second hinged rod, one end of the second hinged rod is rotatably connected to a fixed block, and a fixing groove matching the fixed block is provided at the top of the mounting plate.

[0015] Furthermore, one side of the steel wire extends to the inside of the fixing groove, and the bottom end of the fixing block is in contact with the steel wire.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] 1. The front end of the limit frame can pass through the wire mesh, and then the angle of the kettle can be adjusted to keep the kettle in a vertical state, thereby realizing the installation of the kettle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 5 The technical solution shown is to solve the problem that the kettle 1 is prone to insufficient water storage, and the experimenter is unable to replenish drinking water in time, which easily causes the tree shrews to become thirsty and their health status to deteriorate: the tree shrew breeding water feeding device with automatic water storage discloses an automatic water replenishing mechanism, including a kettle 1, the bottom end of the kettle 1 is threadedly connected to a water outlet pipe 2, and the outer side of the kettle 1 is sleeved with a limit frame 3, the top of the kettle 1 is provided with a water inlet 5, and the top of the inside of the kettle 1 is provided with an automatic water replenishing mechanism for storing water in the kettle 1, the automatic water replenishing mechanism includes a water tank 11, and the water tank 11 is arranged above the kettle 1, the bottom end of the water tank 11 is fixedly connected to a fixing rod 4, and the bottom end of the fixing rod 4 is engaged with the inside of the water inlet 5.

[0033] In this example, the limiting frame 3 is sleeved on the outside of the kettle 1. When installing the kettle 1, the kettle 1 and the limiting frame 3 are tilted so that the front end of the limiting frame 3 can pass through the wire mesh, and then the angle of the kettle 1 is adjusted so that the kettle 1 remains in a vertical state, thereby achieving the installation of the kettle 1. At the same time, the limiting frame 3 can be used to fix the position of the kettle 1 during the installation process.

[0034] In order to ensure that there is sufficient water in the kettle 1, the water tank 11 can be used to store water separately. The fixed rod 4 is inserted into the water inlet 5 at the top of the kettle 1, so that the water in the water tank 11 can enter the interior of the kettle 1 for automatic water replenishment. At the same time, a return spring 13 and a telescopic rod 12 are provided on both sides of the bottom end of the water tank 11. When the water in the water tank 11 is reduced, the weight is reduced. The elastic force of the telescopic rod 12 can push the water tank 11 and move upward, so that the fixed rod 4 at the bottom end of the water tank 11 can automatically separate from the water inlet 5, which is convenient for timely auxiliary disassembly and water filling after the water stored in the water tank 11 is used up.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The technical solution shown in the figure is to solve the problem that the water inlet 5 at the top of the kettle 1 is always kept open after the water tank stops filling with water, causing dirt to enter: the water feeding device for tree shrew breeding with automatic water storage discloses an automatic water inlet mechanism, the lower end of the water inlet 5 is provided with an automatic water inlet mechanism, the automatic water inlet mechanism includes a sealing layer 8, and the sealing layer 8 is provided at the top of the kettle 1, a connecting block 7 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the top of the sealing layer 8, and the upper ends of both sides of the outer side of the connecting block 7 are fixedly connected to the stopper 6, and the top of the stopper 6 is connected to the fixed The inner sides of the fixed rod 4 are in contact, and a movable plate 10 is provided at the bottom end of the sealing layer 8. Both sides of the top of the movable plate 10 are fixedly connected with connecting springs 9, and the top of the connecting spring 9 is connected to the kettle 1. An elastic structure is formed between the movable plate 10 and the kettle 1 through the connecting spring 9. The diameter of the sealing layer 8 is larger than the diameter of the water inlet 5, and the diameter of the movable plate 10 is larger than the diameter of the sealing layer 8. A reset spring 13 is wound around the upper end of the outer side of the telescopic rod 12, and the telescopic rod 12 forms an elastic structure with the water tank 11 through the reset spring 13.

[0037] In this example, when the fixing rod 4 is inserted into the water inlet 5, the fixing rod 4 is sleeved on the outside of the connecting block 7. At the same time, the bottom end of the fixing rod 4 contacts the stopper 6 and pushes the stopper 6 downward, so that the connecting block 7 is driven and moves downward. The sealing layer 8 below the connecting block 7 cannot seal and block the water inlet 5 because it is pushed, and the movable plate 10 is also pushed downward synchronously, so that the water inside the fixing rod 4 can automatically flow into the interior of the kettle 1 for water replenishment. At the same time, a sealing ring is provided between the water inlet 5 and the connecting block 7. The sealing ring can fill the gap between the fixing rod 4 and the water inlet 5, so as to avoid the situation where the water inside the kettle 1 is filled with water and the water flows out from the gap.

[0038] In order to ensure the sealing of the kettle 1 when no water is added, connecting springs 9 are provided on both sides of the top of the movable plate 10. When the stopper 6 is not pushed by the fixed rod 4, the elastic force of the connecting spring 9 pushes the sealing layer 8 upward, so that the top of the sealing layer 8 always remains in contact with the water inlet 5 until the stopper 6 is pushed by the fixed rod 4, thereby pushing the components below the stopper 6 and letting in water.

[0039] Example 3:

[0040] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 The technical solution shown in the figure solves the problem that the water tank 11 becomes dirty after the water storage step is adjusted. In order to ensure the survival rate of the tree shrews during breeding, the water tank 11 needs to be cleaned, but the water tank 11 itself is not easy to disassemble. The water feeding device for breeding tree shrews with automatic water storage discloses a disassembly mechanism. Both sides of the bottom end of the water tank 11 are fixedly connected with a telescopic rod 12, and the bottom end of the telescopic rod 12 is provided with a disassembly mechanism for disassembling the water tank 11. The water feeding device for breeding tree shrews with automatic water storage is characterized in that the disassembly mechanism includes a mounting plate 14, and the mounting plate 14 is fixedly connected At the bottom end of the telescopic rod 12, the front end of the mounting plate 14 is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 15, and the front end of the rotating rod 15 is rotatably connected to the limit block 16, and the bottom end of the limit block 16 is fixedly connected to the steel wire 17. The rear end of the rotating rod 15 at the front end of the mounting plate 14 is provided with a first hinged rod 18, and one end of the first hinged rod 18 is rotatably connected to the second hinged rod 19, and one end of the second hinged rod 19 is rotatably connected to the fixed block 20, and the top of the mounting plate 14 is provided with a fixing groove 21 matching the fixing block 20, one side of the steel wire 17 extends to the inside of the fixing groove 21, and the bottom end of the fixing block 20 is in contact with the steel wire 17.

[0041] In this example, since tree shrews are generally raised in special breeding cages, and the bottom of the breeding cage is basically a tray and the top is a wire cage, when installing the water tank 11, the limit block 16 is passed through the wire cage, and the steel wire 17 passes through the side of the tray below from the inside and extends to the outside. By rotating the rotating rod 15, the first hinge rod 18 and the second hinge rod 19 can be driven to change the angle, so that the second hinge rod 19 can push the fixing block 20 downward, so that the bottom end of the fixing block 20 is engaged with the fixing groove 21. Before closing, the excess part of the steel wire 17 is placed inside the mounting plate 14, and the fixing block 20 is used to press the steel wire 17, so that the position of the steel wire 17 is restricted, and the rotating rod 15 can drive the limit block 16 to change the angle, so that the limit block 16 can be rotated to a horizontal state and engaged with the steel wire cage. A nut can be provided on the outer side of the rotating rod 15 at a position close to the limit block 16, so that the movable distance of the limit block 16 is reduced when the limit block 16 is engaged with the steel wire cage, thereby ensuring the stability of the limit block 16 when the water tank 11 is installed.

[0042] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
