Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal experimental equipment, in particular to a model animal tumor size scale device. Background Art

[0002] In clinical practice, animal tumors are removed and various tests are performed to collect and analyze data from various stages of the disease. This involves measuring and recording the removed tumors. Tumor size grading is achieved by measuring tumor dimensions. In practice, vernier calipers are commonly used to measure tumor dimensions. However, this approach presents challenges: Tumors removed from animals often exhibit irregular shapes, and multiple tumors are often removed during a single surgery. This makes vernier caliper measurements time-consuming. Furthermore, to ensure the integrity of experimental data, reports often require photographs of tumor measurements. However, using vernier calipers to measure tumors prevents the display of the dimensions of each tumor from the same batch in a single photograph, resulting in an increased number of photographs required in the report and reduced productivity. Therefore, developing a new animal tumor measurement device to overcome these existing challenges is a topic for further research by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a model animal tumor size scale device, which can quickly realize the synchronous size marking and photo sampling of multiple animal tumors.

[0004] The utility model discloses a model animal tumor size scale device, which comprises:

[0005] A ruler plate, wherein a plurality of rectangular placement frames are distributed on the surface of the ruler plate;

[0006] a plurality of first measuring rulers, each extending along the x-axis and disposed below each of the rectangular placement frames; each of the first measuring rulers being provided with a first calibration claw and a first slide groove, a first slider being movably mounted on the first slide groove, a third calibration claw being disposed on the first slider, and x-axis scale lines being distributed on the surface of the first measuring ruler;

[0008] By employing the above technical solution, tumors retrieved from animal experiments are placed within rectangular frames on the scale board, with one end of the tumor in the x-axis close to the first calibration prong. The third calibration prong is then moved close to the other end of the tumor in the x-axis. The x-axis scale lines are used to read the distance between the first and third calibration prongs, thereby obtaining the tumor's x-axis length. This process is repeated until the x-axis length of the tumor in each rectangular frame is determined, and a photograph is taken for evidence. The tumor is then moved within the rectangular frame until one end of the tumor in the y-axis closes to the second calibration prong. The fourth calibration prong is then moved close to the other end of the tumor in the y-axis. The y-axis scale lines are used to read the distance between the second and fourth calibration prongs, thereby obtaining the tumor's y-axis length. This process is repeated until the y-axis length of the tumor in each rectangular frame is determined, and a photograph is taken for evidence. This allows for simultaneous dimensioning and photographic sampling of tumors in multiple animals.

Subsequently, the third calibration claw is moved close to the other end of the tumor in the x-axis direction, and the fourth calibration claw is moved close to the other end of the tumor in the y-axis direction to simultaneously obtain the tumor's x-axis length and y-axis length. By repeating the above operation, the x-axis length and y-axis length of each tumor can be marked on a single photo.

[0011] Preferably, the scale plate is made of white material, and the x-axis scale lines and the y-axis scale lines are both black scale lines.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention through specific examples. Those skilled in the art will readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the disclosure herein. The present invention may also be implemented or applied through various other specific embodiments, and the details in this specification may be modified or altered based on different perspectives and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0031] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-2 :

[0032] A model animal tumor size scale device, comprising:

[0033] The ruler plate 100 is made of white material, and a plurality of rectangular placement frames 200 are distributed on the surface of the ruler plate 100. The plurality of rectangular placement frames 200 are arranged in a rectangular array on the ruler plate 100; and the long side of each of the rectangular placement frames 200 extends along the x-axis direction and the short side extends along the y-axis direction.

[0034] A first measuring scale 300 is provided below each rectangular placement frame 200, extending along the x-axis. Each first measuring scale 300 is provided with a first calibration claw 310 and a first slide 320. A first slider 330 is movably mounted on the first slide 320, and a third calibration claw 340 is provided on the first slider 330. X-axis scale lines are distributed on the surface of the first measuring scale 300. Each first calibration claw 310 extends along the y-axis and points toward the lower left corner of the rectangular placement frame 200. Each third calibration claw 340 extends along the y-axis and points toward the rectangular placement frame 200. Each third calibration claw is also provided with a first threaded fastener 350 for abutting and securing / loosening.

[0035] A second measuring scale 400 is positioned to the left of each rectangular placement frame 200. Each second measuring scale 400 extends along the y-axis. Each second measuring scale 400 is equipped with a second calibration claw 410 and a second slide 420. A second slider 430 is movably mounted on the second slide 420, and a fourth calibration claw 440 is mounted on the second slider 430. Y-axis scale lines are distributed on the surface of the second measuring scale 400. Each second calibration claw 410 extends along the x-axis and points toward the lower left corner of the rectangular placement frame 200. Each fourth calibration claw 440 extends along the x-axis and points toward the rectangular placement frame 200. Each fourth calibration claw 440 is also equipped with a second threaded fastener 450 for abutment and release.

[0036] The x-axis scale lines and the y-axis scale lines are both black scale lines.

[0037] In practice, the process works as follows:

[0038] Tumors retrieved from animal experiments are placed in rectangular placement frames 200 on the scale plate 100, and one side of the tumor is moved to the lower left corner of the rectangular placement frame 200. This allows one end of the tumor in the x-axis direction to be brought close to the first calibration claw 310, and one end of the tumor in the y-axis direction to be brought close to the second calibration claw 410. Subsequently, the third calibration claw 340 is moved close to the other end of the tumor in the x-axis direction, and the fourth calibration claw 440 is moved close to the other end of the tumor in the y-axis direction. This allows the x-axis length and the y-axis length of the tumor to be simultaneously obtained. Repeating the above operation and taking a photo allows the x-axis length and the y-axis length of each tumor to be simultaneously marked on a single photo.

[0039] Example 2, please refer to Figure 3-4 :

[0040] Compared with Example 1, Example 2 further discloses the following structural features:

[0041] Each of the rectangular placement frames 200 on the scale plate 100 is further provided with a first pushing component and a second pushing component respectively.

[0042] The first pushing assembly includes: a first pushing plate 510, a first limiting handle 520 and a first pushing rod 530; the first pushing plate 510 is located in the rectangular placing frame 200; a first extension groove is provided on the upper side wall of the rectangular placing frame 200; one end of the first pushing rod 530 extends into the rectangular placing frame 200 through the first extension groove and is fixedly connected to the first pushing plate 510 as a whole, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first limiting handle 520 as a whole; a first flexible surface 511 is provided on the side of the plate body of the first pushing plate 510 facing away from the first pushing rod 530.

[0043] The second pushing assembly includes a second push plate 610, a second limiting handle 620, and a second push rod 630. The second push plate 610 is located within the rectangular placement frame 200. A second extension slot is defined on the right side wall of the rectangular placement frame 200. One end of the second push rod 630 extends into the rectangular placement frame 200 through the second extension slot and is fixedly connected to the second push plate 610, while the other end is fixedly connected to the second limiting handle 620. A second flexible surface is defined on the side of the second push plate 610 facing away from the second push rod 630.

[0044] In this example, the first extension groove is set to extend along the y-axis direction, and the second extension groove is set to extend along the x-axis direction. The first push plate 510 can be moved along the y-axis direction and the tumor can be pushed in the y-axis direction by using the first push plate 510, and the second push plate 610 can be moved along the x-axis direction and the tumor can be pushed in the x-axis direction by using the second push plate 610.

[0045] In this example, the plurality of rectangular placement frames 200 are each recessed into the upper surface of the scale plate 100. Both the first and second extension slots are obliquely extending slot structures. The opening of the first extension slot near the first stop handle 520 is located at a higher position within the slot structure, while the opening near the first push plate 510 is located at a lower position within the slot structure. The structure of the second extension slot is similar to that of the first extension slot.

[0046] In practice, an elastic positioning layer can be set on the inner wall of the first extension groove and the second extension groove. The elastic positioning layer is used to provide a weak clamping force to the first push rod / second push rod, thereby keeping the first push plate / second push plate in a position away from the lower side wall / left side wall of the rectangular placement frame when in use.

[0047] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Even if various changes are made to the present invention, if these changes fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, they will still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
