Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of feces collection, in particular to a movable and convenient metabolic cage for sheep. Background Art

[0002] Digestion and metabolism in ruminants refers to the process by which cattle, sheep, and other animals, through the specialized structure and function of their digestive systems, convert ingested food into energy and various substances necessary for life. To effectively analyze the efficiency and metabolism of nutrient utilization in animals, it is necessary to separate their feces and urine. This facilitates separate analysis of fecal and urine samples, providing more accurate data on ruminant digestion and energy metabolism, and providing a foundation for further research. Metabolic cages are devices used in animal digestion and metabolism research, often used to measure physiological processes such as digestion, nutrition, and metabolism under specific conditions.

[0003] The inventors found in their research that, in actual use, metabolic cages in the prior art are bulky and difficult to carry, leading to leakage of feces and urine. In addition, the feces collection process is complicated, which affects sample collection. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model includes providing a movable and convenient metabolic cage for sheep, which can improve the convenience of movement, facilitate the adjustment of position, reduce the difficulty of feces collection, and improve the efficiency of sample collection.

[0005] The embodiment of the present utility model can be implemented as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, the utility model provides a portable and portable metabolic cage for sheep, comprising:

[0007] A metabolic cage frame, a slatted excrement board, a detachable excrement collecting hollow plate, a urine guide plate, a feeding mechanism and a walking mechanism; the slatted excrement board, the detachable excrement collecting hollow plate and the urine guide plate are all installed in the metabolic cage frame and arranged in sequence from top to bottom; the detachable excrement collecting hollow plate and the metabolic cage frame are detachably matched; the urine guide plate is provided with a urine collection hole; the feeding mechanism is installed on the metabolic cage frame, and the walking mechanism is installed at the bottom of the metabolic cage frame.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the metabolic cage frame includes a main frame, a surrounding plate and multiple supporting legs, and the feces-slatted plate, the detachable feces-collecting hollow plate and the urine deflector are all installed in the main frame; the surrounding plate is installed on the outside of the four sides of the main frame, and the height of the bottom edge of the surrounding plate is not higher than the position of the feces-slatted plate; the multiple supporting legs are all installed at the bottom of the main frame, and the multiple supporting legs are arranged at intervals.

[0009] Based on the above scheme, the metabolic cage frame has a simple structure, and the main frame plays a role in shaping the overall structure. The size and shape of the main frame are set as needed, and the internal space can generally accommodate a sheep machine. It is convenient to limit the scope of raising or collecting feces, and it can also save space and improve the utilization rate of space resources. The surrounding plate is arranged around the main frame, and the surrounding plate can block part of the hollow area around the main frame. The bottom side height of the surrounding plate is not higher than the height of the manure leakage plate. In this way, when the sheep is located on the manure leakage plate, the legs of the sheep are not easy to stretch out from the hollow area around the main frame, and the sheep is not easy to be injured when moving on the manure leakage plate. The main frame is lifted to a certain height by the supporting feet to provide a space of a certain height below the main frame, thereby providing sufficient installation space for the pull-out type fecal collection hollow plate, urine diversion plate and the like.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the metabolic cage frame further comprises an opening and closing door, the side of the main frame is provided with an entrance and exit, and the opening and closing door is movably connected with the main frame. The opening and closing door is used to open or close the entrance and exit.

[0011] Based on the above scheme, when it is necessary to collect the feces sample of the sheep, the opening and closing door is opened, and the sheep can smoothly enter and exit the metabolic cage frame from the entrance and exit. When the sheep enters the manure leakage plate, the opening and closing door can be closed, which is convenient to operate.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the pull-out type fecal collection hollow plate comprises a fixed frame, a turning plate and a mesh body. The fixed frame is provided with a mounting hole, and the turning plate is connected with the fixed frame and located in the mounting hole. The mesh body is fixed in the mounting hole and fixedly connected with the turning plate. One side edge of the fixed frame protrudes from one side of the mesh body away from the turning plate, so that the fixed frame and the mesh body cooperate to form a feces storage groove.

[0013] Based on the above scheme, the fixed frame and the turning plate cooperate to fix the mesh body. The mesh body can be fixed on the turning plate by bolts or rivets, and the fixed effect is good. The mesh body is not easy to fall off from the fixed frame. The fixed frame blocks the four edges of the mesh body, avoiding scratching the operator and improving the safety of use. The turning plate can be an annular structure, for example, the turning plate can be made of multiple strip plates welded together, which can increase the contact area with the mesh body and improve the bearing effect of the mesh body. When the sheep excrement falls from the manure leakage plate and falls on the mesh body, the mesh body bears the excrement, and the four edges of the mesh body are blocked by the fixed frame, so the excrement is not easy to fall from the four edges of the mesh body, and the excrement collection is more convenient. It should be understood that the diameter of the hole on the manure leakage plate is greater than the diameter of the hole on the mesh body, so as to ensure that the excrement can smoothly fall from the manure leakage plate and be collected by the mesh body.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the metabolic cage frame is provided with a sliding groove, and the detachable feces collecting hollow plate is slidably matched with the sliding groove, so that the detachable feces collecting hollow plate can be separated from the metabolic cage frame or carried by the metabolic cage frame.

[0015] Based on the above solution, the detachable feces collecting hollow plate moves relative to the metabolic cage frame by sliding, and the detachable feces net has a simple movement mode and is easy to operate.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, a roller group is provided on the bottom wall of the sliding groove, and the removable feces collecting hollow plate is placed above the roller group.

[0017] Based on the above solution, the detachable manure collecting hollow plate slides relative to the roller group, which has low friction, convenient operation, and saves time and effort.

[0018] In an optional embodiment, the pull-out feces collecting hollow plate further includes two handles, both of which are fixedly connected to the fixed frame, and the two handles are respectively located on opposite sides of the fixed frame.

[0019] Based on the above scheme, according to the on-site environment, force can be selectively applied to the handle from one side of the pull-out manure collecting hollow plate to pull out the pull-out manure collecting hollow plate, which is flexible and convenient to operate.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the detachable manure collecting hollow plate further includes a reinforcement strip, both ends of which are simultaneously connected to the flap, and the reinforcement strip is used to contact the leakage screen body to limit the deformation range of the leakage screen body.

[0021] Based on the above solution, by setting up reinforcement strips, when the net body is deformed due to the gravity of feces, part of the gravity is borne by the reinforcement strips and transmitted to the fixed frame, reducing the force on the edge of the net body. The edge of the net body is not easy to separate from the flap, and the structure of the net body is firm and reliable.

[0022] In an optional embodiment, the urine deflector is provided with a deflection slope, and the deflection slope is used to guide the urine to flow to the urine collection hole.

[0023] Based on the above solution, urine flows along the diversion slope and is easily collected at the urine collection hole, thereby being easily discharged from the urine collection hole.

[0024] In an optional embodiment, two independent positioning spaces are provided on the side of the metabolic cage frame, and the feeding mechanism includes two feeding cylinders, which are respectively placed in the two positioning spaces, and each feeding cylinder can be taken out from the corresponding positioning space.

[0025] Based on the above solution, two feeding tubes are set up, each of which is used independently, and can be used to store water and feed respectively, making it convenient for the sheep to eat. In addition, the feeding tube can be removed from the metabolic cage, which is convenient for obtaining the sheep's eating situation and facilitating reasonable health assessment of the sheep's health status.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the portable and portable metabolic cage for sheep provided by the present invention include:

[0027] In summary, the portable, portable sheep metabolic cage provided in this embodiment utilizes a manure slatted plate, a removable manure collection plate, and a urine diversion plate arranged from top to bottom. Once a target sheep enters the metabolic cage, it is supported by the slatted plate, which restricts the target sheep's range of motion. Feces and urine excreted by the target sheep fall through the slatted plate, where they are collected by the removable manure collection plate below, preventing them from falling further, thus enabling feces collection. Urine, on the other hand, continues to pass through the removable manure collection plate before falling onto the urine diversion plate and being discharged through the urine collection holes on the diversion plate. The manure is located on the removable manure collection plate. After collection, the removable manure collection plate is removed from the metabolic cage frame, and the manure is then collected and analyzed. This makes feces collection time-efficient and labor-intensive, with high efficiency. A walking mechanism is provided at the bottom of the metabolic cage frame, which drives the movement of the metabolic cage, facilitating adjustment and adapting it to various scenarios. At the same time, urine and feces are separated, and feces are also separated from the area where the target sheep live, so that the slatted floor can remain clean for a long time and can provide a better living environment for the target sheep.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] In the prior art, in order to obtain fecal samples from sheep, the sheep are generally kept in metabolic frames, and the sheep's excrement is collected in the metabolic frames. When samples need to be collected, the sheep must first be removed from the metabolic frames. This makes the fecal collection operation inconvenient, time-consuming and labor-intensive. The feces accumulate in the area where the sheep live, and the cleanliness is poor.

[0036] In view of this, the designer provides a movable and convenient metabolic cage for sheep, which is convenient for collecting feces, easy to move, and can be used in different scenarios; it can also provide a good living environment for the target sheep.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0041] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc., if used, are merely used to distinguish and describe, and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0042] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0043] Please combine Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, the portable and portable sheep metabolic cage includes a metabolic cage frame 100, a slatted floor 200, a removable manure collection hollow plate 300, a urine diversion plate 400, a feeding mechanism 500, and a walking mechanism 600. The slatted floor 200, the removable manure collection hollow plate 300, and the urine diversion plate 400 are all installed in the metabolic cage frame 100 and arranged in sequence from top to bottom; the removable manure collection hollow plate 300 is detachably mated with the metabolic cage frame 100; the urine diversion plate 400 is provided with a urine collection hole; the feeding mechanism 500 is installed on the metabolic cage frame 100, and the walking mechanism 600 is installed at the bottom of the metabolic cage frame 100.

[0044] Based on the above, the portable and portable metabolic cage for sheep provided in this embodiment is used as follows:

[0045] During use, the target sheep enters the metabolic cage frame 100 and is supported by the manure slatted plate 200, which restricts the target sheep's range of movement. By arranging the manure slatted plate 200, the removable manure collection plate 300, and the urine diversion plate 400 from top to bottom, the feces and urine excreted by the target sheep can fall from the manure slatted plate 200. The feces is collected by the removable manure collection plate 300 below the manure slatted plate 200, preventing it from falling further, thus ensuring feces collection. Urine, on the other hand, continues to pass through the removable manure collection plate 300 before falling onto the urine diversion plate 400 and being discharged through the urine collection holes on the urine diversion plate 400. Once the feces is collected, the removable manure collection plate 300 is removed from the metabolic cage frame 100, and the feces are then collected for data analysis. This makes feces collection time-saving and labor-intensive, and highly efficient. The metabolic cage frame 100 is provided with a walking mechanism 600 at the bottom. This mechanism drives the metabolic cage frame 100 to move, making it easy to adjust its position and suitable for use in different scenarios. At the same time, urine and feces are separated, and feces are also separated from the target sheep's living area, allowing the slatted floor 200 to remain clean for a long time, providing a better living environment for the target sheep.

[0046] The following examples illustrate the detailed structure of the portable and portable metabolic cage for sheep provided in this application by way of examples.

[0047] Please combine Figure 1 In this embodiment, the metabolic cage frame 100 optionally includes a main frame 110, a panel 120, and a plurality of support legs 130. The manure-leaking plate 200, the removable manure-collecting hollow plate 300, and the urine deflector 400 are all installed in the main frame 110; the panel 120 is installed on the outside of the main frame 110, and the height of the bottom edge of the panel 120 is not higher than the position of the manure-leaking plate 200; the plurality of support legs 130 are all installed at the bottom of the main frame 110, and the plurality of support legs 130 are arranged at intervals. The structure of the metabolic cage frame 100 is simple, and the main frame 110 plays the role of shaping the overall structure. The size and shape of the main frame 110 are set as needed. Generally, its internal space can accommodate one sheep, which is convenient for limiting the number or range of sheep raised, facilitating feces collection, saving space, and improving the utilization rate of space resources. The panels 120 are arranged around the main frame 110. The panels 120 can cover the hollow areas around the main frame 110. The bottom side of the panels 120 is no higher than the height of the slatted floor 200. In this way, when the sheep are on the slatted floor 200, the sheep's legs are not likely to extend from the hollow areas around the main frame 110, and the sheep are less likely to be injured when moving or walking in the slatted floor 200. The main frame 110 is raised to a certain height by the support legs 130, providing a certain height of space under the main frame 110, thereby providing sufficient installation space for the removable slatted floor 300, the urine deflector 400, etc.

[0048] It should be understood that there can be four support legs 130, with the four support legs 130 located at the four corners of the same rectangle. A running wheel can be mounted on the bottom of each support leg 130. The running wheel can be a universal wheel, and each running wheel can be independently braked. In other words, the walking mechanism 600 includes a plurality of running wheels, the number of which is equal to the number of support legs 130. Each running wheel is mounted on the bottom of a corresponding support leg 130, providing stable support while facilitating movement of the metabolic cage 100.

[0049] In this embodiment, the metabolic cage 100 optionally includes a door 140. The main frame 110 has an inlet and outlet located on its side. The door 140 is movably connected to the main frame 110 and is used to open and close the inlet and outlet. This design allows the sheep to enter and exit the metabolic cage 100 smoothly by opening the door 140 when fecal samples are collected. Once the sheep are on the slatted floor 200, the door 140 can be closed, providing convenient operation.

[0050] It should be understood that one side of the switch door 140 can be rotatably connected to the main frame 110 via a hinge, and the entrance and exit can be opened or closed by rotating the switch door 140. In addition, a latch can be provided on the switch door 140, and when the switch door 140 is closed, the latch is used to lock the switch door 140 to prevent the switch door 140 from opening automatically.

[0051] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, optionally, the detachable feces collecting hollow plate 300 includes a fixed frame 310, a flap 320 and a net body 330. The fixed frame 310 is provided with a mounting hole, and the flap 320 is connected to the fixed frame 310 and is located in the mounting hole; the net body 330 is fixed in the mounting hole, and the net body 330 is fixedly connected to the flap 320; one side edge of the fixed frame 310 is protruded on the side of the net body 330 away from the flap 320, so that the fixed frame 310 and the net body 330 cooperate to form a feces storage tank.

[0052] It should be understood that the fixed frame 310 and the flap 320 cooperate to secure the drain body 330. The drain body 330 can be secured to the flap 320 using bolts or rivets, providing a secure fit and preventing the drain body 330 from falling off the fixed frame 310. The fixed frame 310 shields the edges of the drain body 330, preventing them from scratching the operator and improving safety. The flap 320 can be an annular structure. For example, the flap 320 can be welded from multiple strips of plate, which increases the contact area with the drain body 330 and improves the load-bearing effect on the drain body 330. When sheep excrement falls from the slatted floor 200, it lands on the drain body 330 and is carried by the drain body 330. Since the edges of the drain body 330 are shielded by the fixed frame 310, feces are unlikely to fall through the edges of the drain body 330, making feces collection more convenient. It should be understood that the diameter of the holes on the slatted floor 200 is larger than the diameter of the holes on the mesh body 330 , ensuring that feces can smoothly fall from the slatted floor 200 and be collected by the mesh body 330 .

[0053] Optionally, the metabolic cage frame 100 is provided with a sliding groove, and the removable feces collecting hollow plate 300 slidably cooperates with the sliding groove, so that the removable feces collecting hollow plate 300 can be separated from the metabolic cage frame 100 or supported by the metabolic cage frame 100. The removable feces collecting hollow plate 300 moves relative to the metabolic cage frame 100 by sliding, and the removable feces net has a simple movement method and is easy to operate.

[0054] Furthermore, a roller set is provided on the bottom wall of the sliding groove, and the detachable feces collecting hollow plate 300 is placed above the roller set. The detachable feces collecting hollow plate 300 slides relative to the roller set, which has low friction, convenient operation, and saves time and effort.

[0055] It should be noted that two groups of rollers can be provided, distributed on opposite sides of the sliding groove. The two groups of rollers cooperate to support the pull-out manure collecting hollow plate 300, and the pull-out manure collecting hollow plate 300 has high stability.

[0056] In this embodiment, the removable feces collecting hollow plate 300 optionally further includes two handles 340, both of which are fixedly connected to the fixed frame 310 and are located on opposite sides of the fixed frame 310. Depending on the on-site environment, force can be selectively applied to the handle 340 from one side of the removable feces collecting hollow plate 300 to pull out the removable feces collecting hollow plate 300, providing flexible and convenient operation.

[0057] Optionally, the detachable excrement collecting hollow plate 300 further comprises a reinforcing strip, both ends of the reinforcing strip are connected with the turning plate 320, and the reinforcing strip is used to contact with the mesh body 330 to limit the deformation range of the mesh body 330. By arranging the reinforcing strip, when the mesh body 330 is deformed due to the gravity of excrement, part of the gravity is borne by the reinforcing strip and transmitted to the fixed frame 310, the stress on the edge of the mesh body 330 is reduced, the edge of the mesh body 330 is not easy to be separated from the turning plate 320, and the structure of the mesh body 330 is firm and reliable.

[0058] The reinforcing strip can be a cylindrical rod, and both ends of the reinforcing strip can be fixedly connected with the lower side of the turning plate 320 through a pressing sheet, and the pressing sheet can be fixedly connected with the turning plate 320 through a screw.

[0059] Optionally, the urine guide plate 400 is provided with a guide slope 410, and the guide slope 410 is used to guide the urine to flow to the urine collecting hole. The urine flows along the guide slope 410 and is collected at the urine collecting hole, so that the urine can be concentrated and discharged from the urine collecting hole.

[0060] It should be understood that the number of guide slopes 410 can be multiple, so that the urine falling from the detachable excrement collecting hollow plate 300 can be collected at the urine collecting hole, and the urine can be discharged.

[0061] Optionally, the side of the metabolism cage frame 100 is provided with two independent positioning spaces, the feeding mechanism 500 comprises two feeding barrels, and the two feeding barrels are respectively placed in the two positioning spaces and can be taken out from the corresponding positioning space. By arranging two feeding barrels, each feeding barrel is independently used, water and feed can be placed respectively, and the sheep can eat conveniently. In addition, the feeding barrel can be taken out of the metabolism cage frame 100, the eating condition of the sheep can be obtained, and the health state of the sheep can be reasonably and healthily determined.

[0062] When feeding, a time limit can be set, for example, new material is put in and the remaining material is weighed and recorded by directly replacing the feeding barrel every day, so as to save time.

[0063] The movable and convenient metabolism cage for sheep provided in the embodiment has at least the following advantages:

[0064] Firstly, the movable and convenient metabolism cage for sheep can be moved at different places, and animal metabolism research can be more flexibly carried out to meet the needs of different test scenes.
