Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of frozen semen motility detection technology, and in particular to a device for detecting the motility of frozen bovine semen. Background Technology
[0002] A frozen semen motility testing device is used to assess the motility and quality of sperm after cryopreservation. This testing is crucial for ensuring the success rate of reproductive technologies such as artificial insemination and in-vitro fertilization. Its main functions include: Thawing: Thawing frozen semen samples under specific conditions to restore their activity; Temperature control: Providing a stable temperature environment to ensure that temperature fluctuations during thawing do not affect sperm quality; Microscopic observation: Observing sperm motility using a high-powered microscope or video system.
[0003] In existing technologies, the process of testing frozen semen from breeding cattle first requires placing the frozen semen in a water bath at a constant temperature for a certain period of time to thaw it. However, as time passes during the thawing process, the water in the cup will also cool down, making the thawing effect of the frozen semen not very good. Some frozen semen testing devices require the use of a microscope to observe the thawed frozen semen. However, when observing the sample through a microscope, the testing personnel need to bend over for a long time to look at it, which is not suitable for long-term testing work. Utility Model Content

A heating plate 112 is fixedly connected above the constant temperature frame 111, and a contact plate 113 is fixedly connected above the heating plate 112. A second temperature sensor 12 is fixedly connected above the constant temperature frame 11. A lamp body 19 is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the workbench 1.

[0028] The heating tank 7 allows operators to add purified water, which, under heating, thaws the frozen semen reagent tubes.

Then turn on the switch of the lamp body 19, the switch of the microscope camera 22, and the switch of the display 23. At this time, the frozen semen motility can be detected through the display 23.
