Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal vertigo models, in particular to a device for constructing an animal vertigo model. Background Art

[0002] In order to study the mechanism of vertigo and to ensure the development of effective treatment methods or treatment requirements, it is usually necessary to construct an animal model with vertigo.

[0003] Most vertigo machines currently used in laboratories stimulate the animal's vestibular organs through horizontal rotation, inducing vertigo and motion sickness. However, when constructing actual vertigo models, the single horizontal rotation cannot accurately replicate the actual vertigo environment, resulting in low realism. Furthermore, this single rotation results in limited functionality, so further refinement of vertigo model construction is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a device for constructing an animal vertigo model to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an animal vertigo model construction device, comprising a mounting panel, a water tank, and a pair of top plates, wherein a second drive mechanism is provided at the bottom of the mounting panel, and a fixing bracket is provided on the output shaft of the second drive mechanism;

[0006] A set of first drive mechanisms is provided at the bottom of the fixing frame, and the output shaft of each first drive mechanism is connected to a rotating shaft respectively. The rotating shaft passes through the bottom of the water tank and is connected to the blades provided in the water tank;

[0007] A float is placed in the water tank;

[0008] The top plate is arranged on the top of the installation panel through a support frame, a hydraulic rod is arranged on the top plate, and the output shaft of the hydraulic rod is connected to the cross bar;

[0009] The bottom end surface of the crossbar is provided with a top cover;

[0010] A third driving mechanism is provided on the side end surface of the top cover, and an output shaft of the third driving mechanism is connected to the limiting shaft.

[0011] As an improvement, the number of the first driving mechanism and the number of the water tanks are four, and the four water tanks are arranged in a rectangular array relative to the fixed frame. By providing four water tanks, four floats can be placed, so that four models can be constructed simultaneously.

[0012] As another improvement, the installation panel is fixed to the top of the installation base through a connecting block. The installation panel can be installed and supported by the connecting block and the installation base.

[0013] As another improvement, the bottom end surface of the water tank is provided with a drain pipe, the drain pipe is communicated with the inside of the water tank, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe through a flange. The water filled in the water tank can be discharged by opening the valve on the drain pipe.

[0014] As another improvement, a guide rod is welded to the top surface of the crossbar, and the guide rod is sleeved in the top plate. When the crossbar is pushed downward by the hydraulic rod, the middle position is limited and guided by the guide rod sleeved in the top plate.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] 1. This utility model utilizes a water tank. To create an animal vertigo model, the operator first places the desired experimental animal, such as a mouse, inside a buoy. The buoy containing the animal is then lowered into the water tank. Once placed, the operator fills the tank with an appropriate amount of water to ensure the buoy floats freely on the surface. After this, the operator activates a first drive mechanism, which, via a rotating shaft, drives the blades to begin rotating. This action causes the water in the tank to begin circulating due to the agitation of the blades. As the water rotates, the buoy is also driven, rotating. This rotational stimulation is intended to stimulate the vestibular autonomic nervous system of the experimental animal, such as observing for decreased spontaneous activity or bradykinesia, thereby effectively creating an animal vertigo model. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the blades, the operator can adjust the direction of the water's reciprocating rotation. This adjustment mechanism makes the model more realistic and accurate, further enhancing its accuracy and practicality. Through this series of delicate operations, the operator was able to successfully construct an animal vertigo model that not only meets scientific requirements but also highly simulates the real environment.

[0017] 2. This invention utilizes a top cover. During the detailed process of constructing the animal motion sickness model, the operator utilizes the water to rotate the float. Subsequently, they activate a second drive mechanism, which drives the fixed frame to begin rotating. As the fixed frame rotates, the water tank rotates with it until it reaches the bottom of the top cover. Once the water tank reaches the designated position, the operator activates a hydraulic lever, which, via a crossbar, drives the top cover up and down. This action causes the float to float up and down within the water tank, simulating a realistic motion sickness environment. During this process, the float not only rotates but also moves up and down, thus more comprehensively simulating the motion sickness condition. To further enhance the realism of the simulation, the operator activates a third drive mechanism to rotate the limit shaft. As the top cover moves up and down, the limit shaft comes into contact with the float, and its own rotation drives the float to rotate in a more realistic manner. This design ensures that the float's rotation more closely matches the dynamic characteristics of real motion sickness. Through this series of precise operations and adjustments, the operator successfully constructed an animal motion sickness model that closely simulates the real-world motion sickness condition. This model not only provides a realistic dizziness environment for experimental animals, but also provides researchers with a powerful tool to observe and analyze motion sickness.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] 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.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the present invention proposes an animal vertigo model construction device, comprising a mounting panel 1, a water tank 7, a top plate 9 and a crossbar 11.

[0027] The bottom end surface of the mounting panel 1 is mounted with a second driving mechanism 15, and a fixing bracket 14 is provided on the output shaft of the second driving mechanism 15;

[0028] The top surface of the fixing frame 14 is provided with a water tank 7;

[0029] A float 13 is placed in the water tank 7;

[0030] The first driving mechanism 4 is mounted on the bottom end surface of the fixing frame 14, and a rotating shaft 18 is provided on the output shaft of the first driving mechanism 4;

[0031] A hydraulic rod 10 is installed in the top plate 9, and a cross bar 11 is provided on the output shaft of the hydraulic rod 10;

[0032] The bottom end surface of the crossbar 11 is mounted with a top cover 8;

[0033] A third driving mechanism 19 is mounted on the side end surface of the top cover 8 , and a limit shaft 16 is provided on the output shaft of the third driving mechanism 19 .

[0034] There are four water tanks 7 in total, and the four water tanks 7 are distributed in a rectangular array relative to the fixing frame 14. Since there are four water tanks 7 in total, four floats 13 can be placed thereon to form four models.

[0035] A connecting block 5 is welded to the bottom end surface of the installation panel 1 , and a mounting base 3 is installed on the bottom end surface of the connecting block 5 . The installation panel 1 can be installed and supported by the connecting block 5 and the mounting base 3 .

[0036] A drain pipe 2 is embedded and fixed on the bottom end surface of the water tank 7. The drain pipe 2 is in liquid communication with the water tank 7, and a valve is installed on the drain pipe 2 through a flange. The water in the water tank 7 can be discharged by opening the valve on the drain pipe 2.

[0037] The rotating shaft 18 is installed in the water tank 7, and the blade 17 is installed on the rotating shaft 18. Through the blade 17 installed on the rotating shaft 18, a person can open the first driving mechanism 4 and drive the blade 17 to rotate through the rotating shaft 18.

[0038] Based on Example 1: When constructing an animal vertigo model, personnel can place the animal to be simulated, such as a test mouse, in the float 13. After placement, the float 13 can be placed in the water tank 7. After placement, personnel can add water to the water tank 7 so that the float 13 can float on the water surface. After adding water, the first drive mechanism 4 can be opened to drive the blade 17 to rotate through the rotating shaft 18, so that the water in the water tank 7 is rotated by the stirring of the blade 17. The water can drive the float 13 to rotate when rotating, thereby performing rotational stimulation on the experimental animal and observing the reaction of the vestibular autonomic nervous system, such as reduced spontaneous activity, slow movement, etc., so as to construct an animal vertigo model, and drive the water to rotate back and forth through the forward and reverse rotation of the blade 17, and then adjust the rotation direction. After adjustment, the model can better simulate the real environment.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the present invention proposes an animal vertigo model construction device. Compared with the first embodiment, this embodiment further includes: a mounting panel 1, a water tank 7, a top plate 9 and a crossbar 11.

[0041] The bottom end surface of the mounting panel 1 is mounted with a second driving mechanism 15, and a fixing bracket 14 is provided on the output shaft of the second driving mechanism 15;

[0042] The top surface of the fixing frame 14 is provided with a water tank 7;

[0043] A float 13 is placed in the water tank 7;

[0044] The first driving mechanism 4 is mounted on the bottom end surface of the fixing frame 14, and a rotating shaft 18 is provided on the output shaft of the first driving mechanism 4;

[0045] A hydraulic rod 10 is installed in the top plate 9, and a cross bar 11 is provided on the output shaft of the hydraulic rod 10;

[0046] The bottom end surface of the crossbar 11 is mounted with a top cover 8;

[0047] A third driving mechanism 19 is mounted on the side end surface of the top cover 8 , and a limit shaft 16 is provided on the output shaft of the third driving mechanism 19 .

[0048] As is well known to those skilled in the art, the provision of the hydraulic rod 10, the first drive mechanism 4, the second drive mechanism 15, and the third drive mechanism 19 is commonplace. The hydraulic rod 10, the first drive mechanism 4, the second drive mechanism 15, and the third drive mechanism 19 can all be powered by an external power supply via a wire. When powered, the hydraulic rod 10, the first drive mechanism 4, the second drive mechanism 15, and the third drive mechanism 19 can be controlled by an external control switch, and the control switch can be installed on the front surface of the mounting panel 1 for use. These are all conventional means or common knowledge and will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections based on their needs or convenience. The first drive mechanism 4, the second drive mechanism 15, and the third drive mechanism 19 respectively drive the rotating shaft 18, the fixing frame 14, and the limiting shaft 16 to rotate.

[0049] A guide rod 12 is welded to the top surface of the cross bar 11, and the guide rod 12 is sleeved in the top plate 9. By sleeved in the top plate 9, when the cross bar 11 is pushed by the hydraulic rod 10 to move downward, the middle position is limited and guided by the guide rod 12 sleeved in the top plate 9.

[0050] The bottom end surface of the top plate 9 is welded with a support frame 6 , and the bottom end surface of the support frame 6 is mounted on the mounting panel 1 . The top plate 9 can be mounted and fixed on the mounting panel 1 through the support frame 6 .

[0051] Based on Example 2: When a person constructs an animal dizziness model, after the float 13 is driven to rotate by the water body, the person can open the second driving mechanism 15 to drive the fixed frame 14 to rotate, so that when the fixed frame 14 rotates, the water tank 7 can be driven to rotate, and when the water tank 7 rotates, it can move to the bottom end surface of the top cover 8. After arriving, the person can open the hydraulic rod 10 to push the cross bar 11 to drive the top cover 8 to move up and down, so that when the top cover 8 moves up and down, it pushes the float 13 back and forth to move up and down in the water body of the water tank 7, so that the float 13 moves up and down when it rotates to simulate a real dizziness environment, and during the simulation, the person can open the third driving mechanism 19 again to drive the limit shaft 16 to rotate, so that when the top cover 8 moves up and down, it contacts the float 13 through the limit shaft 16, and drives the float 13 to rotate through the rotation of the limit shaft 16, so that the float 13 is more in line with the actual dizziness environment when it rotates, thereby simulating the real conditions caused by motion sickness in the real environment when observing experimental animals.

[0052] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
