Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of experimental equipment, in particular to a sugar water tank designed for a sugar water preference experiment. Background Art
[0002] In psychological and biological research, the sugar preference test is an important experimental tool widely used to assess the physiological, psychological, and behavioral characteristics of laboratory animals (such as mice and rats). This test relies on animals' natural preference for sweet substances (such as sucrose solutions) and measures their degree of preference to reflect their health, stress response, or depressive tendencies. However, traditional sugar preference test chambers have numerous design deficiencies, particularly in terms of cleanliness and maintenance. These issues severely impact experimental efficiency and the accuracy of results.
[0003] Specifically, traditional test chambers are often bulky and feature complex internal structures, making cleaning an extremely cumbersome process. Because the chamber interior is typically divided into multiple test chambers by partitions, which are often fixed to the chamber and difficult to remove, cleaning can hinder the complete removal of residue between chambers, increasing the risk of cross-contamination.

[0024] In order to further illustrate the principle and structure of the present utility model, the preferred embodiments of the present utility model are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a sugar water tank designed for a sugar water preference experiment, comprising: an experimental box 1, a water bottle 2 for the sugar water preference experiment is provided on the experimental box 1, a drain port 13 is provided at the lower portion of the experimental box 1, and a plurality of partitions 11 are detachably provided in the experimental box 1 to divide the experimental box 1 into a plurality of experimental slots. The provision of the partitions 11 can realize the ability to conduct multiple groups of experiments in parallel. In addition, the detachable partitions 11 can also make it easier to clean the experimental box 1. When cleaning, the partitions 11 are removed, and the sewage generated by cleaning the entire experimental box 1 can be discharged through a single drain port 13. There is no need to provide multiple drain ports 13 corresponding to the experimental slots, and the entire experimental box 1 can be cleaned at once.
[0026] Furthermore, there are four partitions 11, and the four partitions 11 divide the experimental box 1 into five experimental slots. By dividing it into five experimental slots, multiple groups of experiments can be carried out simultaneously, which significantly improves the efficiency of the experiment; it can also effectively avoid cross-contamination between different experimental groups. Through the separation design, the independence and purity of each experimental group can be ensured; multiple independent experimental slots allow multiple groups of experiments to be carried out simultaneously, and each group of experimental conditions can be set and controlled separately, thereby reducing mutual interference between experiments and improving the independence and comparability of experimental data, which helps to more accurately evaluate the sugar water preference and other related behavioral characteristics of experimental animals; the number of five partitions 11 is an example of an embodiment, and the number of partitions 11 is not limited to five. Experimenters can adjust the number and layout of partitions 11 as needed to meet the usage requirements under different experimental conditions.
[0027] Furthermore, the experimental box 1 is provided with slots corresponding in number to the partitions 11. When installing, the partitions 11 are inserted into the slots to complete the installation; when disassembling, the partitions 11 are pulled out of the slots to complete the disassembly.
[0028] Furthermore, the density of the partition 11 is lower than that of the experimental box 1 , that is, the partition 11 is made of lightweight material. The partition 11 made of lightweight material can reduce the overall weight of the sugar water box. The partition 11 is preferably made of acrylic or plexiglass.
[0029] Furthermore, a drain pipe 14 is detachably provided at the drain outlet 13 of the experimental box 1. The setting of the drain pipe 14 can guide the sewage discharged from the drain outlet 13, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance of the experimental environment. In addition, if the detachable drain pipe 14 is damaged or aged during long-term use, it can be easily replaced.
[0030] Furthermore, it also includes a sealing plug, which is used to block the drain outlet 13 of the experimental box 1 to prevent experimental animals from escaping from the drain outlet 13; when the experiment is in progress, the drain pipe 14 needs to be removed and the drain outlet 13 needs to be blocked with the sealing plug. This design ensures the closed nature of the experimental environment, avoids the accidental escape of experimental animals, and ensures the smooth progress of the experiment.
[0031] Furthermore, the invention also includes a fixing frame 3 for installing the water bottle 2. The water bottle 2 is installed on the experimental box 1 through the fixing frame 3. The fixing frame 3 includes a support frame 31 connected to the experimental box 1 and a mounting portion 32 for mounting the water bottle 2 provided on the support frame 31. The mounting portion 32 can be Figure 4 Any one of the flask clamp 33, the universal clamp 34, and the iron three-ring 35 shown.
[0032] Furthermore, the water bottle 2 described above includes a bottle body and a bottle mouth with one end threadedly connected to the bottle body. A sealing ring is provided between the bottle body and the bottle mouth to ensure a tight connection between the bottle body and the bottle mouth, improve the sealing performance, and effectively prevent water from leaking from the connection between the bottle body and the bottle mouth.
[0033] Furthermore, the bottle body is made of plastic. The plastic bottle body is not only light in weight, but also has good pressure resistance and drop resistance. Even if it is slightly bumped during use, it is not easy to break, which improves the overall durability of the product.
[0034] Furthermore, one end of the bottle mouth is connected to the bottle body, and the other end of the bottle mouth is a double-ball bottle mouth 21.
[0035] Furthermore, the sugar water tank also includes a porous breathable organic glass top cover 12 arranged on the top of the experimental box 1.
[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
