[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0024] A device for extracting leech skin secretions includes a main tube 1, with a collection tube 2 threaded onto the main tube 1. An arc-shaped extension plate 20 is integrally formed at the bottom of the end of the collection tube 2 furthest from the main tube 1. The top of the arc-shaped extension plate 20 is flush with the inner annular wall of the collection tube 2. A connecting rod 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the end of the collection tube 2 furthest from the main tube 1. A movable rod 25, which can move up and down, is mounted on the connecting rod 21. A vibration motor 24 is fixedly mounted at the end of the movable rod 25. A crossbar 22 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the vibration motor 24. An electric shock ball 23 is mounted at the end of the crossbar 22 furthest from the vibration motor 24. By designing the main tube 1 and the collection tube 2 threaded onto it, effective collection of leech secretions is achieved. In particular, the arc-shaped extension plate 20 at one end of the collection tube 2 can conveniently guide the leech and allow its secretions to flow into the collection tube 2. Meanwhile, through the arrangement of connecting rod 21, movable rod 25, vibration motor 24, and electric shock ball 23, the leeches can be stimulated by vibration and electric shock during the collection process, prompting them to secrete more secretions, thereby improving collection efficiency. The adjustable movable rod 25 can also provide a wider opening to accommodate leeches of different sizes. This device has a novel structure, is easy to operate, and can effectively increase the amount of leech skin secretions collected, providing a powerful tool for related research and applications.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, an extension block 210 is integrally formed on the connecting rod 21. A threaded rod 211 is fixedly connected to the extension block 210. The threaded rod 211 passes through the movable rod 25 but is not connected to it. An adjustment knob 250, threadedly connected to the threaded rod 211, is rotatably mounted on the top of the movable rod 25. By providing the extension block 210 and the threaded rod 211 on the connecting rod 21, and cooperating with the adjustment knob 250 on the movable rod 25, the movable rod 25 can be adjusted vertically on the connecting rod 21. In this way, the user can adjust the position of the electric shock ball 23 according to actual needs to better stimulate the leeches and further improve the efficiency of secretion collection.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, a guide rod 212 passing through the movable rod 25 is fixedly connected to the extension block 210, and the length of the guide rod 212 is equal to the length of the threaded rod 211. Adding a guide rod 212 to the extension block 210 and ensuring its length is equal to that of the threaded rod 211 not only provides stable guidance for the up-and-down movement of the movable rod 25, but also enhances the stability and durability of the entire device, avoiding operational errors caused by the misalignment of the movable rod 25.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the collecting tube 2 has a threaded head 26 integrally formed coaxially at one end near the main tube 1, and the main tube 1 has a threaded groove 10 that is threadedly connected to the threaded head 26. The design of the threaded head 26 at one end of the collecting tube 2 and the threaded groove 10 on the main tube 1 allows for convenient assembly and disassembly of the collecting tube 2 and the main tube 1. This design not only facilitates cleaning and maintenance for users but also improves the flexibility and applicability of the device.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, a battery 11 is installed inside the main tube 1, and the vibration motor 24 and the electric shock ball 23 are both electrically connected to the battery 11 via wires. Installing the battery 11 inside the main tube 1 and providing power to the vibration motor 24 and the electric shock ball 23 makes the entire device more portable and independent. Users can operate it without an additional power supply, greatly improving ease of use and flexibility.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, two first protrusions are symmetrically arranged within the threaded groove 10, each electrically connected to the positive and negative terminals of the battery 11 via wires. Two second protrusions are symmetrically arranged at the end of the threaded head 26. When the threaded head 26 is tightened onto the threaded groove 10, the two first protrusions align with the two second protrusions. By providing first protrusions within the threaded groove 10 and corresponding second protrusions at the end of the threaded head 26, an electrical connection is achieved between the battery 11 and the vibration motor 24 and the electric shock ball 23. This design not only simplifies the circuit structure but also improves the stability and reliability of the connection, ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the two second protrusions are respectively connected to the two ends of the vibration motor 24 and the electric shock ball 23 via wires, and a sealing cap 3 is threadedly installed on the end of the main tube 1 away from the movable rod 25.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment, both the sealing cover 3 and the adjusting knob 250 have anti-slip textures on their outer circumferential surfaces. These textures not only increase user comfort during operation but also improve operational stability and accuracy. This design allows users to more easily rotate the sealing cover 3 and the adjusting knob 250, thus facilitating the assembly, disassembly, and adjustment of the device.

[0032] When using the device for extracting leech skin secretions of this invention:

[0033] First, the user assembles the device, ensuring that the collecting tube 2 is tightly connected to the threaded groove 10 on the main tube 1 via the threaded head 26. Simultaneously, the sealing cap 3 is threaded onto the end of the main tube 1 furthest from the movable rod 25 to protect internal components such as the battery 11. At this point, the battery 11 is electrically connected to the vibration motor 24 and the electric shock ball 23 via wires. However, because the first protrusion in the threaded groove 10 is not yet aligned with the second protrusion on the threaded head 26, the circuit is disconnected.

[0034] Next, the user adjusts the position of the electric shock ball 23 as needed. By rotating the adjustment knob 250 on the top of the movable rod 25, it can be threaded into or released from the threaded rod 211 on the connecting rod 21, thereby causing the movable rod 25 to move up and down on the connecting rod 21. At the same time, the guide rod 212 on the extension block 210 provides stable guidance for the up and down movement of the movable rod 25, ensuring the accuracy of the electric shock ball 23's position.

[0035] After the user adjusts the electric shock ball 23 to a suitable position, the device is placed near the leech. The leech is guided by the arc-shaped extension plate 20 at one end of the collection tube 2 and naturally climbs up the extension plate, its secretions then flowing into the collection tube 2. At this point, the user can begin operating the device to stimulate the leech to secrete more secretions.

[0036] The user rotates the collection tube 2 or the main tube 1 to align the first protrusion in the threaded groove 10 with the second protrusion on the threaded head 26. Once aligned, the battery 11 forms a closed circuit with the vibration motor 24 and the electric shock ball 23 via wires, thereby activating the vibration motor 24 and generating vibration, while the electric shock ball 23 also emits an electric shock. The vibration and electric shock work together to stimulate the leech to secrete more fluid.

[0037] During the collection process, the user can adjust the position of the electric shock ball 23 or turn off the device at any time as needed. Once enough leech secretions have been collected, the user can easily remove the secretions from the collection tube 2 by simply rotating the sealing cap 3.

[0038] Finally, after use, the user can disassemble the device for cleaning and maintenance. Since the collection tube 2 is connected to the main tube 1 by threads, disassembly is very simple. Meanwhile, the anti-slip textured design on the sealing cap 3 and the adjusting knob 250 allows the user to rotate them more easily, thus completing the disassembly, assembly, and cleaning of the device.

[0039] In summary, the device for extracting leech skin secretions of this invention, through its ingenious design and working principle, achieves efficient collection of leech secretions, providing a powerful tool for related research and applications.
