[0001] This utility model relates to the field of small animal experimental technology, specifically to a small animal experimental observation box. Background Technology
[0002] A small animal observation box is a device specifically designed for the experimental observation of small animals (such as mice, rats, guinea pigs, etc.). It provides the animals with a relatively closed and controllable environment, facilitating researchers' observation of changes in the animals' behavior and physiological state under different experimental conditions. However, existing animal observation boxes require repeated handling of the animals at the beginning and end of the observation period to return them to their designated feeding positions. This repeated handling can frighten the animals, negatively impacting the observation results and rendering the boxes impractical. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0014] Please see Figure 1-3This utility model provides a small animal experimental observation box, including a feeding box 1. The upper end of the inner wall of the feeding box 1 is hinged with a cover plate 2. The two sides of the feeding box 1 are symmetrically equipped with first ventilation nets 3. The inner wall of the feeding box 1 is fitted with a limiting structure 5. An observation box 6 is inserted into one side of the inner wall of the feeding box 1. An experimental tube 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the observation box 6. An annular glass 8 is embedded in the inner wall of the observation box 6. Multiple second ventilation nets 9 are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the observation box 6. A ramp 10 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the inner wall of the feeding box 1 near a corner of the observation box 6. A partition structure 4 is fitted through the inner wall of the feeding box 1. The partition structure 4 is attached to the surface of the ramp 10.
[0015] The feeding box 1 provides ample space for the experimental animals to move around and ensure their survival. The cover 2 is used for taking out and placing the animals. The first ventilation net 3 ensures air circulation within the feeding box 1, maintaining the animals' survival conditions. The limiting structure 5 restricts the animals' movement and can encourage them to move into the observation box 6. The ramp 10 facilitates the movement of the animals into the observation box 6. The observation box 6, in conjunction with the partition structure 4, restricts the animals' movement within it. The annular glass 8 ensures unobstructed observation, allowing for better observation of the animals. The experimental tube 7 allows for the placement of experimental equipment into the observation box 6, controlling temperature and humidity to ensure effective observation. The second ventilation net 9 maintains the animals' survival conditions within the observation box 6. When not in use, the partition structure 4 can be removed, and the observation box 6 can be stored back into the feeding box 1, saving storage space. The device is convenient to use and highly practical.
[0016] The limiting structure 5 includes an electric telescopic rod 51, which is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the feeding box 1. The piston rod of the electric telescopic rod 51 passes through the side wall of the feeding box 1 and is connected to a top plate 52. The lower end of the top plate 52 is in contact with the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the feeding box 1. A limiting rod 53 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the top plate 52. The limiting rod 53 passes through the feeding box 1 and is clearance-fitted with the feeding box 1.
[0017] When it is necessary to drive the experimental animal into the observation box 6, the electric telescopic rod 51 is activated, the piston rod is slowly extended, and the top plate 52 is moved toward the observation box 6, slowly driving the experimental animal toward the observation box 6 and into the observation box 6 through the ramp 10. At the same time, the partition structure 4 is closed. When the top plate 52 is moved, it will be restricted by the limiting rod 53 to maintain a fixed horizontal trajectory displacement.
[0018] The partition structure 4 includes a partition 41 that passes through the feeding box 1 and is fitted with the feeding box 1 with a clearance. A support plate 42 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the feeding box 1. A screw 43 is threaded through the inner wall of the support plate 42 and threaded into the partition 41.
[0019] To open the partition structure 4, loosen and remove the screw 43, and simultaneously pull the partition 41 upwards. To close the partition structure 4, insert the partition 41 in reverse and secure it again with the screw 43.
[0020] It also includes a support leg 11, which is fixedly mounted to the lower end of the observation box 6.
[0021] Support leg 11 ensures the stability of observation box 6.
