Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of experimental equipment, in particular to a mouse fixer for experiments. Background Art

[0002] Laboratory mice are one of the most important experimental animals in research fields such as medicine, biology, and pharmacology. Their physiological structure, metabolic characteristics, and genome are highly similar to those of humans, and therefore they are widely used in disease research, drug screening, genetic research, and other fields. Laboratory mouse fixators are specialized devices designed to immobilize laboratory mice during experiments, reduce their movement, and facilitate experimental operations. The main purpose of the fixator is to reduce the stress response of mice during experiments, ensure the accuracy of experimental operations, and protect the safety of laboratory mice. Fixators are commonly used in operations such as injections, blood collection, anesthesia, and surgery to prevent laboratory mice from being injured due to struggling.

[0003] Our team has extensively researched and documented experimental equipment technologies. Drawing on relevant resources and conducting numerous experiments, we discovered that existing mouse fixators utilize fixed-size rings, tubes, or plates, making them difficult to adjust and unable to accommodate mice of varying sizes or breeds. This lack of adjustability can lead to over-tightening or over-loosening, making them incapable of meeting the precise requirements of different experiments.

[0004] The present invention is designed to solve the common problems in the art, such as the inflexible adjustment mechanism being difficult to adapt to experimental mice of different sizes or strains and easily leading to over-tight or over-loose fixation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a mouse fixator for experiments in view of the shortcomings in the current field.

[0006] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A mouse fixator for experiments, comprising a support pad placed on a laboratory table, a counterweight disposed at the bottom of the support pad, an upper fixing unit connected to the support pad for fixing the upper limbs of the mouse, and a lower fixing unit connected to the support pad for fixing the lower limbs of the mouse.

[0008] Wherein, the support pad is square in shape and includes an upper edge, a right edge, a lower edge and a left edge which are arranged to surround each other.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper fixing unit includes an upper ring belt, one end of which is connected to the left edge of the support pad through a detachable buckle and the other end of which is connected to the right edge of the support pad through a detachable buckle, a first elastic buckle sleeved on the upper ring belt for adjusting the length of the upper ring belt, two shoulder straps respectively connecting the upper edge of the support pad and the upper ring belt, and an adjustment belt for connecting the two shoulder straps.

[0010] The two shoulder straps are symmetrically matched on both sides of the upper edge. The adjustment strap includes a left adjustment strap with one end fixed to one of the shoulder straps, and a right adjustment strap with one end fixed to the other shoulder strap, a second elastic buckle provided on the left adjustment strap for adjusting the length of the left adjustment strap, and a buckle for detachably connecting the left adjustment strap and the right adjustment strap.

[0011] Furthermore, the lower fixing unit includes a lower ring band, one end of which is connected to the left edge of the support pad by a detachable buckle and the other end is connected to the upper ring band on the right edge of the support pad by a detachable buckle, a third elastic buckle mounted on the lower ring band for adjusting the length of the lower ring band, and a fixing pad with one end fixed to the lower edge of the support pad and the other end fixed to the second ring band.

[0012] The beneficial effects achieved by the utility model are:

[0013] 1. A counterweight is provided at the bottom of the support pad to ensure that the holder remains stable during the experiment, which helps reduce displacement problems caused by mouse struggles or external interference and improves the accuracy of the experiment.

[0014] 2. The upper and lower ring straps, shoulder straps and adjustment straps are all equipped with elastic adjustment buckles. Through the cooperation of the elastic buckles and buckles, the length and fixed position of each ring strap can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to mice of different sizes, while ensuring that the fixing force is moderate to avoid excessive pressure.

[0015] 3. The shoulder straps symmetrically connect the upper ring and support pad. The adjustment straps are used to connect and adjust the distance between the two shoulder straps to create a balanced force distribution, thereby stabilizing the position of the mouse's upper limbs and head. This symmetrical design avoids instability caused by unilateral force.

[0016] 4. The setting of the fixed pad can slightly separate the legs of the mouse, providing a more natural posture support, effectively reducing muscle tension and discomfort. This not only improves the comfort of the mouse during the experiment, but also helps the stability and accuracy of the experimental data.

[0017] 5. Through the detachable buckle and adjustment strap, the operator can quickly fix and release the mouse, which is convenient to operate and saves time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
