Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal culture cage technology, and in particular to a filtration device for animal culture cages. Background Technology

[0002] Animal experiments play a vital role in scientific research and medicine, but they also face several challenges, one of which is the handling of animal excrement. Because animals produce large amounts of waste during experiments, failure to promptly address this can easily lead to environmental pollution and the spread of bacteria. Therefore, to better manage the excrement generated during animal experiments, researchers have proposed a filtration device for animal culture cages. In traditional animal culture cages, animal excrement accumulates directly at the bottom, which not only easily produces odors but also promotes bacterial growth, posing a threat to the health of both animals and laboratory personnel.

[0003] During the use of the filtration device, the garbage filter box needs to be replaced frequently because the animals in the breeding cages will often defecate. If the method of replacing the garbage filter box is cumbersome, it will not only increase the workload but also reduce the work efficiency. In addition, at night, some animals in the breeding cages need to be sealed off, otherwise it will affect the animals' normal rest. Utility Model Content

[0004] This disclosure relates to a filtration device for animal breeding cages. When animals in the cage defecate, the excrement flows from the filter holes into a waste filter box. The waste filter box can be replaced simply by gently pushing it in place. This simple and quick replacement of the waste filter box not only saves time but also improves work efficiency. At night, the size of the two ends of the breeding cage can be controlled by moving the sealing plate up and down according to the animals' living habits, which can also seal the breeding cage to keep the animals warm and protected, allowing them to grow normally in the cage. This device can automatically collect excrement, making it convenient for managers to clean up centrally, reducing workload, maintaining a clean and hygienic environment inside the cage, and effectively preventing the spread of diseases.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the described embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 :

[0027] This utility model discloses a filtration device for an animal culture cage, comprising: a support frame 1; a rectangular slot is provided in the middle of the support frame 1; a garbage filter box 2 is slidably installed in the rectangular slot of the support frame 1; a culture cage 3 is fixedly installed at the top of the support frame 1, and a fixing groove is provided in the middle of the top of the culture cage 3; through sealing slots 301 are provided at both ends of the culture cage 3, and vents 302 are installed at the openings at both ends of the culture cage 3, with through screws rotatably inserted at the four corners of the vents 302. The screw on plate 2 is rotated and inserted into the culture cage 3. The vent 302 is temporarily fixed to the side wall of the culture cage 3 by the screw. By removing the screw on the vent 302, the vent 302 can be removed from the culture cage 3, allowing the animal to enter and exit the culture cage 3. A vertically upward fixed threaded rod 303 is fixedly installed at the fixing hole of the culture cage 3. Symmetrical turntables 304 are rotatably installed on the fixed threaded rod 303, and short posts are fixedly installed on the side wall of the outer end of the turntables 304. Holding the short posts on the turntables 304 makes it easy to... Rotation causes the turntables 304 to move up and down to adjust their position. The two turntables 304 are pressed tightly against the side walls of the connecting frame 305. The connecting frame 305 is fitted onto the fixed threaded rod 303, and a through-hole is opened in the middle of the upper end of the connecting frame 305. The fixed threaded rod 303 passes through the through-hole at the upper end of the connecting frame 305. While grasping the connecting frame 305 and moving it upward, the two sealing plates 306 are also moved upward. Then, the two turntables 304 are rotated and moved in opposite directions, pressing the two turntables 304 tightly against the side walls of the connecting frame 305, thus fixing the connecting frame 305. The temporary fixed restriction allows observation of the animals in the culture cage 3 through the ventilation door 302. When night falls, the two turntables 304 are rotated and moved in opposite directions, causing the connecting frame 305 and the sealing plate 306 to move downwards. According to the animals' living habits, the position of the sealing plate 306 is moved downwards, so that there is a gap between the sealing plate 306 and the support frame 1 to prevent the animals from lacking oxygen in the culture cage 3. The sealing plates 306 are fixedly installed at the lower ends of both ends of the connecting frame 305, and the two sealing plates 306 are slidably inserted into the sealing grooves 301 at both ends.

[0028] The support frame 1 has sliding grooves 101 at both ends of its lower end, and symmetrical slots 102 at its top. The lower end of the sealing plate 306 is inserted into the slot 102, thus forming a closed space for the culture cage 3. Two guide grooves 103 are provided on the front and rear side walls of the support frame 1. Fixing frames 104 are fixedly installed on the front and rear side walls at both ends of the support frame 1. A through anti-detachment plate 105 is inserted in the middle of the fixing frame 104. By sliding the four anti-detachment plates 105 upwards, the anti-detachment plates 105 are pulled out from the anti-detachment holes 204, allowing the replacement of the new garbage filter box 2. Next, the lower end of the anti-detachment plate 105 is inserted through the fixing frame 104 into the anti-detachment hole 204 to fix and restrict the garbage filter box 2. In this way, the garbage filter box 2 will not move when stepped on by animals. The outer side walls of the four anti-detachment plates 105 are respectively fixedly installed with limiting plates 106, and the inner side walls of the four anti-detachment plates 105 are respectively fixedly installed with guide blocks 107. The guide blocks 107 are slidably installed in the guide grooves 103. When the anti-detachment plate 105 slides up and down, the guide blocks 107 are restricted by the guide grooves 103, and the anti-detachment plate 105 can only slide up and down to prevent the anti-detachment plate 105 from tilting when sliding up and down.

[0029] The garbage filter box 2 has lids 201 installed at both its front and rear ends. A handle is fixedly installed on the side wall of the front lid 201, allowing for easy forward and backward movement. The top of the garbage filter box 2 has evenly spaced filter holes 202. Animals move around at the top of the garbage filter box 2. When an animal defecates, the excrement flows through the filter holes 202 into the garbage filter box 2 below, thus collecting the excrement. The lids 201 can then be opened for easy cleaning. To replace the garbage filter box 2, the rear end of the new garbage filter box 2 is aligned with the rear end of the old one. The new garbage filter box 2 is then slowly pushed forward, allowing the animal on top to slowly lift its paws and move. As the old garbage filter box 2 moves forward, the new garbage filter box 2 also moves forward. (See attached diagram.) Figure 5 As shown: The original garbage filter box 2 is gradually replaced with a new garbage filter box 2. Then the excrement in the garbage filter box 2 is cleaned. Sliding strips 203 are fixedly installed on both sides of the garbage filter box 2. The two ends of the sliding strips 203 are respectively provided with through anti-detachment holes 204. The sliding strips 203 are slidably installed in the sliding groove 101. When the garbage filter box 2 slides back and forth, the sliding strips 203 are restricted by the sliding groove 101, and the garbage filter box 2 can only slide back and forth to prevent the garbage filter box 2 from tilting when sliding back and forth.

[0030] Example 2, based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, a vertically upward fixed threaded rod 303 is fixedly installed at the fixed hole of the culture cage 3; symmetrical turntables 304 are rotatably installed on the fixed threaded rod 303, and short columns are fixedly installed on the side wall of the outer end of the turntables 304; a connecting frame 305 is sleeved on the fixed threaded rod 303, and a through round hole is opened in the middle of the upper end of the connecting frame 305; sealing plates 306 are fixedly installed at the lower ends of both ends of the connecting frame 305 respectively. By replacing the fixed threaded rod 303 and the turntable 304 with an electric rod, and then connecting the telescopic part of the electric rod to the connecting frame 305, the position of the connecting frame 305 and the sealing plate 306 can be automatically moved up and down using the electric rod, which not only saves time and improves efficiency, but also saves manual operation.

[0031] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During use, while grasping the connecting frame 305 and moving it upwards, the two sealing plates 306 are also moved upwards. Then, the two turntables 304 are rotated and moved in opposite directions, pressing them tightly against the side walls of the connecting frame 305 to temporarily fix and restrict its movement. The animals in the culture cage 3 can be observed through the ventilation door 302. When night falls, the two turntables 304 are rotated and moved in opposite directions, causing the connecting frame 305 and sealing plates 306 to move downwards. Based on the animals' living habits, the position of the sealing plates 306 is moved downwards, creating a gap between the sealing plates 306 and the supporting frame 1 to prevent oxygen deprivation in the culture cage 3. The animals move around in the garbage filter box. At the top of 2, when an animal defecates, the excrement flows from the filter hole 202 into the garbage filter box 2 below. The garbage filter box 2 collects the animal's excrement. Then, the lid 201 is opened for easy cleaning of the excrement in the garbage filter box 2. When the garbage filter box 2 needs to be replaced, first slide the four anti-detachment plates 105 upwards, pulling them out of the anti-detachment holes 204. Align the rear end of the new garbage filter box 2 with the rear end of the old garbage filter box 2. Then, slowly push the new garbage filter box 2 forward, allowing the animal on the garbage filter box 2 to slowly lift its paws and move. As the old garbage filter box 2 moves forward, the new garbage filter box 2 will also move forward, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 5 As shown: Slowly replace the original garbage filter box 2 with a new one, then clean the excrement in the garbage filter box 2. At this point, the new garbage filter box 2 can be replaced. Then, insert the lower end of the anti-detachment plate 105 through the fixing frame 104 into the anti-detachment hole 204 to fix and restrict the garbage filter box 2.
