Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laboratory rabbit breeding cage technology, specifically a high-efficiency laboratory rabbit breeding cage. Background Technology
[0002] Laboratory rabbits are one of the most commonly used animals in biomedical research. They originated from wild European rabbits and were bred through long-term domestication and selective breeding. Laboratory rabbits are docile and easy to handle in experiments, but they have poor social behavior and can only be kept in individual cages. The high-efficiency breeding cage for laboratory rabbits is a cage specially designed for the breeding and selection of laboratory rabbits. It aims to improve experimental efficiency and the health of rabbits. This type of cage usually includes multiple functions, such as automatic feces cleaning and separating the breeding areas of mother rabbits and young rabbits to create a good living environment while facilitating management and observation.
[0003] In existing technologies, due to the natural behavioral habits of laboratory rabbits, which are animals that like to jump, dig, and explore, the rabbits may break open the doors of the breeding cages while jumping, causing them to escape. This can cause problems for subsequent experiments, increase experimental costs, and the structure of the breeding cages may be quite complex. If the residual feces and urine are not cleaned up in time, bacteria, parasites, and other pathogens can easily grow, increasing the risk of rabbits contracting diseases. Utility Model Content
[0004] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an efficient breeding cage for laboratory rabbits, in order to solve the problem that, due to the natural behavioral habits of laboratory rabbits, which are animals that like to jump, dig, and explore, the rabbits may jump and knock open the opening and closing door of the breeding cage, causing them to escape from the cage, which will cause trouble for the staff in subsequent experiments, increase the experimental cost, and the structure of the breeding cage may be relatively complex. If the residual feces and urine are not cleaned in time, bacteria, parasites and other pathogens can easily grow, increasing the risk of rabbits contracting diseases.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a high-efficiency breeding cage for experimental rabbits, comprising a main body of the device, two sets of fixing plates fixedly connected to one side of the main body of the device, a connecting frame fixedly connected to the top of each set of fixing plates, fixing shafts fixedly connected to both sides inside each set of connecting frames, a locking head fixedly connected to one side of each set of fixing shafts, a spring fixedly connected to one side of each set of locking heads, a connecting plate fixedly connected to one side of each set of springs, and a connecting ring fixedly connected to one side of each set of connecting plates.

[0009] Furthermore, a sliding plate is movably connected inside the partition, and a connecting block is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding plate.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding plate placed inside the partition can be moved by the connecting block, which can easily lock the channel opening opened by the partition.
[0011] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is movably connected to the top of the main body of the device, a cover plate is movably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover plate can be rotated by the handle, and the cover plate can be movably connected to the main body of the device through the rotating shaft.
[0013] Furthermore, a fixed frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main body of the device, a collection box is movably connected inside the fixed frame, and four sets of support columns are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the collection box is fixed to the bottom of the main body of the device through the fixing frame, which makes it easier for the rabbit's excrement to enter the collection box through the sieve plate and facilitates the subsequent cleaning by the staff.
[0015] Furthermore, a water collection box is fixedly connected to the top of the sieve plate, and a water inlet is fixedly connected to one side of the water collection box.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, drinking water is delivered to the water collection box through the water inlet, which makes it easy to ensure that drinking water can be replenished in a timely manner.
[0017] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: by pulling the protrusion on one side of the locking head, the locking head is rotated. The rotation of the locking head causes the spring to be passively compressed.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0027] A high-efficiency breeding cage for laboratory rabbits, such as Figure 1-6 The device includes a main body 1, with two sets of fixed plates 2 fixedly connected to one side of the main body 1. Each set of fixed plates 2 has a connecting frame 3 fixedly connected to its top. Each set of connecting frames 3 has fixed shafts 4 fixedly connected to both sides inside. Each set of fixed shafts 4 has a locking head 5 fixedly connected to one side. Each set of locking heads 5 has a spring 6 fixedly connected to one side. Each set of springs 6 has a connecting plate 8 fixedly connected to one side. Each set of connecting plates 8 has a connecting ring 7 fixedly connected to one side. By pulling the protrusion on one side of the locking head 5, the locking head 5 is driven to rotate. The rotation of the locking head 5 causes the spring 6 to be passively compressed. The locking head 5 moves and rotates around the two sets of fixed shafts 4 at a certain angle, achieving the function of one-way opening and closing of the cover plate 13. This prevents the experimental rabbits from jumping out of the breeding cage and enhances the practicality of the breeding cage.
[0028] Please see Figure 6 The bottom of the main body 1 of the device is fixedly connected to a sieve plate 15, and the top of the sieve plate 15 is fixedly connected to a partition plate 9. By setting the above structure, the excrement of the experimental rabbits is collected into the collection box 17 through the through holes opened in the sieve plate 15, keeping the inside of the main body 1 of the device clean, and the partition plate 9 separates experimental rabbits of different ages.
[0029] Please see Figure 6 The partition 9 is movably connected to a sliding plate 10, and a connecting block 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding plate 10. By setting the above structure, the sliding plate 10 placed inside the partition 9 can be moved by the connecting block 11, which can conveniently engage the channel opening opened in the partition 9.
[0030] Please see Figure 5 The device body 1 is movably connected to the top of a rotating shaft 12, and a cover plate 13 is movably connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 12. A handle 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate 13. By setting the above structure, the cover plate 13 is rotated by the handle 14, and the cover plate 13 is movably connected to the device body 1 by the rotating shaft 12.
[0031] Please see Figure 2 The device body 1 has a fixed frame 16 at the bottom, and a collection box 17 is movably connected inside the fixed frame 16. Four sets of support columns 18 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 16. By setting the above structure, the collection box 17 is fixed to the bottom of the device body 1 through the fixed frame 16, which makes it easy for the excrement of the experimental rabbits to enter the collection box 17 through the sieve plate 15, which is convenient for the staff to clean up later.
[0032] Please see Figure 5 A water collection box 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the sieve plate 15, and a water inlet 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the water collection box 19. By setting the above structure, this utility model enables drinking water to be delivered to the inside of the water collection box 19 through the water inlet 20, so as to ensure that drinking water can be replenished in a timely manner.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the staff pulls the protrusion on one side of the two sets of locking heads 5 to drive the two sets of locking heads 5 to rotate. At this time, the rotation of the two sets of locking heads 5 drives the two sets of springs 6 to be passively compressed. The rotation of the two sets of locking heads 5 releases the restriction on the cover plate 13, and the experimental rabbit is placed inside the main body 1 of the device.
[0034] When the experimental rabbit is placed inside the main body 1 of the device, the cover plate 13 is rotated by the rotating shaft 12. The cover plate 13 reaches the slider on the surface of the card and head 5. The handle 14 presses the cover plate 13, and the cover plate 13 moves the card and head 5 through the inclined surface of the card and head 5. The card and head 5 compresses the spring 6. The compression of the spring 6 causes the card and head 5 to rotate with the main fixed shaft at a certain angle. At this time, the cover plate 13 engages with the card and head 5.
[0035] Multiple experimental rabbits move inside the main body 1 of the device. Since the experimental rabbits are of different ages, they need to be separated. Pulling the connecting block 11 causes the sliding plate 10 to move in the groove inside the partition 9. After the sliding plate 9 moves a certain distance, the experimental rabbits are separated through the through holes opened in the partition 9.
[0036] After multiple experimental rabbits live inside the main body 1 of the device for a period of time, the excrement brought by the experimental rabbits will enter the collection box 17 through the through holes of the sieve plate 15. The collection box is cleaned by the handle fixedly connected to the collection box 17 to keep the breeding cage clean and tidy, and drinking water is transported into the water collection box 19 through the water inlet 20.
[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, provided that such modifications, substitutions, and variations are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and are protected by patent law.
