Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal model experiments, in particular to a mouse model temperature measuring and sorting device. Background Art

[0002] In biomedical research, laboratory mice are commonly used animal models. Fluctuations in their body temperature can reflect the physiological changes that occur in the body in response to infection, inflammation, immune response, drug effects, etc., and are an important indicator for assessing physiological and pathological states. Therefore, measuring the body temperature of mouse models not only helps monitor the progression of the disease, but also can evaluate the treatment effect or drug safety.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for measuring the body temperature of mouse models are rectal temperature and ear temperature. Rectal temperature measurement involves inserting a temperature probe into the mouse's rectum to measure the internal organ temperature, thereby obtaining relatively accurate data. While this method is accurate, it is complex and invasive, which can easily induce stress reactions in the mouse, thus affecting the stability of experimental data. Furthermore, rectal temperature measurement is time-consuming, and efficiency is very low, especially when handling a large number of mouse models. Ear temperature measurement, on the other hand, is typically performed by grasping the mouse and using an infrared temperature measurement device such as a thermometer. While this method is non-invasive and convenient, ear temperature measurement is significantly affected by the ambient temperature. Especially in unstable ambient temperatures, measurement results can be significantly biased and inaccurate. Furthermore, grasping the mouse can easily lead to bites or scratches, posing a significant safety hazard to the operator. Furthermore, improper gripping can also cause damage to the mouse. Both of these measurement methods have limitations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mouse temperature measurement device that can improve efficiency, mitigate stress reactions, and enhance temperature measurement accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a mouse model temperature measurement and sorting device to address the defects of the prior art.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention can adopt the following technical solutions:

[0006] The mouse model temperature measurement and sorting device described in the present invention includes a rectangular carrier box and an upper cover fastened thereon; a driving plate that moves horizontally from one side of its inner cavity to the opposite side is provided in the rectangular carrier box, and a driving sounder is provided on one side plate of the driving plate, and a plurality of LED flash lights are evenly distributed along the circumference of the driving generator; an outlet is provided on the side wall of the rectangular carrier box opposite to the driving generator, and the outlet is hinged with an upward-turning flip door through a hinge shaft with a return torsion spring, and the outer cover of the outlet is provided with a conical connecting channel with a gradually decreasing inner diameter, the outer end of the conical connecting channel is connected to a temperature measuring channel, a plurality of infrared temperature measuring heads are arranged on the inner wall of the temperature measuring channel, and the outer end of the temperature measuring channel is connected to a plurality of sorting channels, and each of the sorting channels is movably inserted with a vertical blocking plate.

[0007] Furthermore, to ensure ventilation, a plurality of ventilation holes are evenly distributed on the top wall of the upper cover.

[0008] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the upper cover can be firmly buckled onto the rectangular carrier box, a lock buckle can be provided at the buckling edge between the rectangular carrier box and the upper cover.

[0009] Furthermore, in order to be able to manually control the closing of the flip door, a limit lever should be vertically inserted on the top wall of the conical connecting channel directly above the flip door. By inserting the limit lever downward, the flip door can be pushed to close and a limit block can be formed, so that the mouse models can pass through the temperature measurement channel one by one to measure the temperature.

[0010] Furthermore, in order to facilitate real-time observation of the body temperature of the mouse model passing through the temperature measurement channel, a temperature measurement display screen electrically connected to the infrared temperature measurement head should be provided on the outer wall of the temperature measurement channel.

[0011] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the upward pulling of the vertical blocking plate, the upper edge of the vertical blocking plate can be extended out of the sorting channel, and a holding ring for easy holding can be provided on the upper edge of the vertical blocking plate.

[0012] Furthermore, in order to allow the mouse models in the sorting channels to stably enter the corresponding receiving cages, a downward sloping slide should be connected to the outer end of each of the sorting channels.

[0013] Furthermore, a sliding groove is provided on the bottom wall of the rectangular carrier box, a slider sliding along the sliding groove is provided on the bottom of the driving plate, and a horizontal push rod passing through the side wall of the rectangular carrier box is provided on the driving plate. The pushing and pulling direction of the horizontal push rod is consistent with the length direction of the sliding groove, and the driving plate can be pushed to move horizontally along the length direction of the sliding groove by the horizontal push rod.

[0014] The utility model has the advantages of using a driving plate to drive the mouse models contained in the carrier box, so that the mouse models can drill through the exit and enter the temperature measuring channel in turn. When passing through the temperature measuring channel, the mouse model's abdominal wall or lateral abdominal wall can be attached to the infrared temperature measuring head due to the narrow space, thereby easily completing the non-invasive temperature measurement of the mouse model, improving the accuracy of the mouse model's body temperature measurement, and avoiding damage to the mouse model; at the same time, the sorting channel connected to the outer end of the temperature measuring channel can also easily complete the classification according to the measured body temperature of the mouse model, ensuring that mouse models with different body temperatures can accurately enter the corresponding sorting channel, and quickly completing the sorting of the mouse models; in addition, the mouse model hardly comes into contact with the operator during the entire operation, which can reduce safety hazards and ensure the personal safety of the operator. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] Figure 1 It is a structural diagram of the present utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] 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.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, the mouse model temperature measurement and sorting device of the present invention comprises a rectangular carrier box 1 with an upper opening for containing mouse models, and an upper cover 2 adapted to snap onto the rectangular carrier box 1. To ensure overall air permeability, multiple ventilation holes 3 are evenly distributed on the top wall of the upper cover 2. Furthermore, to ensure that the upper cover 2 securely snaps onto the rectangular carrier box 1, a lock 4 is provided at the snapping edge between the rectangular carrier box 1 and the upper cover 2, effectively preventing the mouse model from pushing the upper cover 2 open.

[0018] A driving plate 5 is provided in the rectangular carrier box 1 for horizontal movement from one side of the inner cavity to the opposite side thereof. The driving plate 5 is erected in the rectangular carrier box 1, and its height is consistent with the inner cavity height of the rectangular carrier box 1, while its left and right side edges are abutted against the side walls of the rectangular carrier box 1. Specifically, a chute 6 is provided on the bottom wall of the rectangular carrier box 1, and a slider 7 is provided at the bottom of the driving plate 5 for sliding along the chute 6. At the same time, a horizontal push rod 8 is provided on the driving plate 5 that extends outside the side wall of the rectangular carrier box 1. The pushing and pulling direction of the horizontal push rod 8 is consistent with the length direction of the chute 6, so that the driving plate 5 can be pushed horizontally along the length direction of the chute 6 by the horizontal push rod 8, easily achieving horizontal movement of the driving plate 5 from one side of the inner cavity of the rectangular carrier box 1 to the opposite side. Of course, the driving plate 5 can also be an electric vertical plate. In this case, there is no need to provide a horizontal push rod 8, and the driving plate 5 can be directly electrically controlled to slide back and forth along the chute 6. In addition, a repelling sound generator 9 for repelling the mouse model is provided on one side of the repelling plate 5. It is most preferred that the repelling generator 9 is provided on the side of the repelling plate 5 facing away from the horizontal push rod 8, and a plurality of LED flash lights 10 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the repelling generator 9, and the sound and light are synchronized to achieve a good repelling effect.

[0019] An exit 11 for the mouse model to drill out is provided on the side wall of the rectangular carrier box 1 on the side facing the expulsion generator 9. An upward-turning flip door 13 is hinged on the exit 11 through a hinge shaft 12 with a return torsion spring. The outer cover of the exit 11 is provided with a tapered connecting channel 14 with a gradually decreasing inner diameter. The outer end of the tapered connecting channel 14 (i.e., away from the end of the rectangular carrier box 1) is connected to a temperature measuring channel 15. A plurality of infrared temperature measuring heads 16 are arranged on the inner wall of the temperature measuring channel 15. The outer end of the temperature measuring channel 15 (i.e., away from the end of the tapered connecting channel 14) is connected to a plurality of sorting channels 17 through a multi-way connector. A vertical blocking plate 18 is movably inserted on each sorting channel 17. The upper edge of the vertical blocking plate 18 extends out of the sorting channel 17, and a gripping ring 19 for easy gripping is provided on the upper edge of each vertical blocking plate 18 to facilitate pulling the vertical blocking plate 18 upward to connect the corresponding sorting channel 17.

[0020] When the mouse model exits through exit 11, it pushes up the revolving door 13, causing it to rotate upward. After a mouse model passes through exit 11, the revolving door 13 automatically flips downward under the rebound force of the return torsion spring to reseal exit 11. The mouse model exiting exit 11 continues along the tapered connecting channel 14 and enters the temperature measurement channel 15. The inner cavity of the temperature measurement channel 15 is designed to be slightly smaller than the mouse model's body. This prevents the mouse model from turning back and allows the abdominal wall or lateral abdominal wall of the mouse model, which is affected by the narrow space, to adhere to the infrared temperature measurement head 16. This ensures accurate temperature measurement, easily completes non-invasive temperature measurement of the mouse model, improves the accuracy of temperature measurement of the mouse model, and avoids damage to the mouse model. After the temperature measurement is complete, the mouse models continue to move forward. The operator then pulls up the corresponding vertical blocking plate 18 based on the measured temperature, leaving only that sorting channel 17 open. The mouse models are then restricted to that sorting channel 17 and eventually enter the corresponding receiving cage at the outer end (i.e., away from the temperature measurement channel 15). This rapidly completes the sorting of the mouse models, ensuring that mouse models with different body temperatures accurately enter the corresponding sorting channel 17, allowing for easy temperature measurement and sorting. The mouse models rarely come into contact with the operator during the entire operation, minimizing safety hazards and ensuring the operator's personal safety.

[0021] In addition, to prevent multiple mouse models from entering the temperature measurement channel 15 at once, a limit lever 20 should be vertically installed on the top wall of the tapered connecting channel 14, directly above the reversible door 13. By inserting the limit lever 20 downward, the reversible door 13 is pushed down and closed, forming a limit stop, allowing manual control of the reversible door 13 to close, allowing the mouse models to pass through the temperature measurement channel 15 one by one. Furthermore, to facilitate real-time observation of the body temperature of the mouse models passing through the temperature measurement channel 15, a temperature measurement display screen 21 should be installed on the outer wall of the temperature measurement channel 15, electrically connected to all infrared temperature measuring heads 16. The temperature measurement display screen 21 can display the temperature measurement information of each infrared temperature measuring head 16 in a block-by-block manner. Furthermore, since the outer end of the sorting channel 17 is generally overlapped on the top opening of the receiving cage, in order to prevent the mouse model from falling into the receiving cage, a downward inclined slope slide 22 can be overlapped on the outer end of each sorting channel 17 so that the mouse model in the sorting channel 17 can slide stably into the corresponding receiving cage.

[0022] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
