[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a rat acupuncture fixation device, including a fixing base 1, a head light shield 2, a net fixing cover 3, and a tail fixing member 4. The rat can be fixed on the fixing base 1; the head light shield 2 can cover the head of the rat; the net fixing cover 3 can fix the torso of the rat; the tail of the rat can be inserted into the tail fixing member 4, so that the tail of the rat can also be fixed.

[0031] Specifically, the fixed base 1 is a transparent acrylic plate, which is sturdy, durable, and convenient for researchers to observe the rats.

[0032] The head shield 2 is rotatable and connected to the fixed base 1, so that the head shield 2 can quickly cover the rat's head, avoid visual stimulation of the rat during the experiment, effectively soothe the rat's emotions, reduce the rat's stress response, and further prevent the rat from escaping.

[0033] The net cover 3 is a flexible net structure that is detachably mounted on the fixing base 1. In this embodiment, fixing holes are provided on both sides of the fixing base 1, allowing the net cover 3 to be fixed to the fixing base 1 via side fixing members 6. Furthermore, to prevent damage to the net cover 3 due to pulling during the rat's struggle, two fixing grooves 7 are provided on the fixing base 1. The two sides of the net cover 3 pass through the two fixing grooves 7 and are fixed by the side fixing members 6, thus improving the stability of the net structure and reducing the probability of edge damage. Specifically, the side fixing members 6 can be fixing bolts, connected to the fixing holes by threads. The net cover 3 fits well against the rat's torso, thus securing the rat, and allows the rat's limbs to be easily spread out without harming the rat or causing limb deformation.

[0034] In addition, the fixed base 1 has a bottom mesh structure 5 at the torso, which facilitates acupuncture on the abdomen of the rat.

[0035] The tail fixing member 4 has a through hole, through which the rat's tail can be inserted to secure it. In this embodiment, the position of the tail fixing member 4 is adjustable to accommodate rats of different sizes. Specifically, the fixing base 1 has a sliding groove 8, and the tail fixing member 4 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 8, allowing the tail fixing member 4 to move back and forth. In this embodiment, to better secure the tail fixing member 4 to the sliding groove 8, a threaded rod 9 is installed below the tail fixing member 4. The threaded rod 9 slides in the sliding groove 8 and is tightened with a nut to securely fix it to the sliding groove 8.

[0036] How to use:

[0037] Normally raised adult rats are placed back-up on the platform of the fixed base 1. The head and tail are quickly secured using the head shield 2 and tail fixation piece 4, respectively. The rat's torso is quickly secured to the fixed base 1 using the net fixation cover 3 and the side fixation piece 6 to prevent the rat from escaping. The net fixation cover 3 covers the rat's back, and the rat's limbs are spread forward and backward, respectively, and the rat is fixed to the device in a prone position. After the acupuncture is completed, the net fixation cover 3 is removed, the experimental rat is removed, and the next experimental rat is replaced for the operation.

[0038] Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in this application is not limited to the technical solutions formed by specific combinations of the above-mentioned technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by arbitrary combinations of the above-mentioned technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the inventive concept.
