Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of phototherapy irradiation device technology, and in particular to a phototherapy irradiation device for small animals. Background Technology

[0002] Small animal phototherapy devices are advanced experimental tools in the field of biomedical research. They mainly use light of specific wavelengths, such as ultraviolet, visible, or infrared light, to irradiate experimental animals to simulate natural lighting conditions or specific lighting environments, thereby enabling scientific research in fields such as photobiology, optogenetics, and photodynamic therapy. This equipment plays an important role in the research of disease models in experimental animals, behavioral analysis, exploration of physiological rhythms, research on skin photobiology, and treatment of specific diseases.

[0003] Existing ultraviolet therapy methods typically involve placing the ultraviolet lamp directly onto the cages of small animals. Some small animals can reach the ultraviolet lamp through the perforated area on the top of the cage, which can easily cause the ultraviolet lamp to fall and be damaged. In order to securely fix the ultraviolet lamp, it is fixed to the top of the cage with fasteners. However, this installation method makes it impossible to quickly adjust the position of the ultraviolet lamp according to the situation, reducing the flexibility of use. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a phototherapy device for small animals.

[0005] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a small animal phototherapy irradiation device, including a fixing plate, a limiting plate fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate, an adjustment component provided at the upper end of the fixing plate, a limiting groove provided on the inner wall of the limiting plate, a control panel fixedly connected to one end of the fixing plate, and a display screen provided on the surface of the control panel;

[0006] The adjustment assembly includes a limiting top plate, a lead screw rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting top plate, a sliding seat threaded onto the surface of the lead screw, a motor fixedly connected to the end of the lead screw away from the limiting top plate, an extension plate fixedly connected to the right end of the sliding seat, a fixing frame fixedly connected to the inner wall of the extension plate, a stepped groove formed on the inner wall of the fixing frame, an ultraviolet lamp installed inside the fixing frame, a handle fixedly connected to the top of the ultraviolet lamp, and baffles fixedly connected to both ends of the limiting top plate.

[0007] The above technical solution uses a motor to drive a lead screw to rotate, which in turn moves the sliding seat up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the ultraviolet lamp. This allows for flexible adjustment based on usage needs. The motor's start and stop are controlled via a control panel, and the brightness of the ultraviolet lamp is adjusted. The current ultraviolet lamp brightness is displayed on a screen.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the two ends of the limiting top plate are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting upright plate, and the surface of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate.

[0009] The above technical solution improves the stability of the lead screw during rotation by installing a limiting top plate on the lead screw.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the two ends of the sliding seat are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the top of the motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate.

[0011] The above technical solution uses a limiting groove on the inner wall of the limiting plate to limit the sliding seat, preventing it from shifting when moving up and down, thus improving the stability of the sliding seat during movement.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, two extension plates are provided, which are symmetrically distributed around the sliding seat, and the surface of the ultraviolet lamp is in contact with the inner wall of the stepped groove.

[0013] The above technical solution increases the stability of the fixed frame during installation by using two extension plates, and limits the ultraviolet lamp by using stepped grooves, which facilitates the quick disassembly and installation of the ultraviolet lamp and facilitates the quick inspection or maintenance of the ultraviolet lamp in the future.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, the inner wall of the fixing plate is provided with a sliding groove, and a sliding block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. One end of the sliding block is fixedly connected to a clamp.

[0015] The above technical solution uses a sliding groove to limit the sliding block, allowing it to slide smoothly. The clamp is then connected to the cage bars of the breeding cage, thereby installing and fixing the fixing plate.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, the inner wall of the fixing plate is threaded with a threaded rod, one end of which extends into the interior of the sliding groove and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sliding block.

[0017] With the above technical solution, when the threaded rod is rotated, the threaded rod moves into the sliding groove, which in turn pushes the sliding block to move, thereby adjusting the position of the clamp, which is convenient for flexible adjustment according to different breeding cages and improves practicality.

[0018] As a further improvement to the above solution, the number of sliding blocks is set to two, and the two sliding blocks are symmetrically distributed around the fixed plate. The number of clamps corresponds to the number of sliding blocks.

[0019] The above technical solution increases the stability of the connection by using two clamps, thereby improving the stability during use.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] This utility model features an adjustment component, specifically a motor that drives a lead screw to rotate, causing a sliding seat to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the ultraviolet lamp. This allows for flexible adjustment according to usage needs, improving practicality. A stepped groove limits the ultraviolet lamp's position, and the lamp can be disassembled and maintained by pulling the handle upwards, facilitating quick assembly and disassembly and enhancing ease of use.

[0022] This utility model incorporates a threaded rod, a sliding block, and a clamp. Specifically, rotating the threaded rod pushes the sliding block to slide along the inner wall of the sliding groove, thereby adjusting the position of the clamp. This allows for flexible adjustments based on different breeding cages and is convenient and quick to operate. Attached Figure Description

The motor 304 drives the lead screw 302 to rotate, which in turn drives the sliding seat 303 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the ultraviolet lamp 308. This allows for flexible adjustment according to usage needs, improving practicality. The ultraviolet lamp 308 is limited by the stepped groove 307. By pulling the ultraviolet lamp 308 upward with the handle 309, the ultraviolet lamp 308 can be disassembled and maintained, facilitating quick assembly and disassembly of the ultraviolet lamp 308 and improving ease of use.
