Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laboratory bench technology, and in particular to an animal laboratory bench. Background Technology

[0002] Laboratory animals are an essential component of modern life science research, particularly in the biomedical field. As living "precision instruments," they play an irreplaceable role in drug development, disease model establishment, functional validation, and safety evaluation. Therefore, providing a stable, safe, and easy-to-operate experimental environment for laboratory animals is of paramount importance. Animal workbenches, also known as animal experimental devices or platforms, are indispensable equipment in laboratories. They are primarily used to support, immobilize, and restrict the movement of laboratory animals, enabling researchers to perform various experimental procedures safely and accurately, such as surgery, injections, and sample collection. Animal workbenches also provide auxiliary functions, such as waste collection, lighting, and ventilation, to ensure a clean experimental environment and the comfort of the laboratory animals.

[0003] In experiments with some highly active animals, the animals may not cooperate with the experimenters, which greatly increases the difficulty of the experiment. If they are not restrained, some aggressive animals may even cause harm to the experimenters. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that when conducting experiments on highly active animals, the animals may not cooperate with the experimental operators, which greatly increases the difficulty of the experiment. If they are not restrained, some aggressive animals may even cause harm to the experimental operators. Therefore, an animal experimental table is proposed.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An animal testing platform includes a housing with a groove at its top. A clamping mechanism for securing animals is slidably connected to the groove. The clamping mechanism includes a rotary switch that conforms to the surface of the housing. A worm gear is fixedly connected to the rotary switch, and a turbine is threaded onto the worm gear. A bidirectional threaded rod is fitted onto the turbine, and a clamping assembly is threaded onto the bidirectional threaded rod. A lifting mechanism for adjusting the height of the testing platform is located inside the housing. An animal cage for storing animals is located on one side of the top of the housing, and a water tank is located on the other side of the top of the housing. A waste liquid tank for recycling chemical agents is located below the water tank. A microscope for experiments is located between the animal cage and the water tank.

[0007] The above technical solution further includes:

[0008] The clamping assembly includes a slider threadedly connected to a bidirectional threaded rod, the slider being threadedly connected to an arc-shaped plate, and an air cushion being fixedly mounted on the arc-shaped plate.

[0009] The curved plate can be replaced with one of the appropriate size according to the size of the experimental animal.

[0010] The clamping assembly is symmetrically arranged with the vertical central axis of the bidirectional threaded rod as the axis of symmetry. The same clamping components are used, and their parts and installation methods are the same.

[0011] The lifting mechanism includes a second handle, one end of which is fixedly connected to a connecting plate, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft. The other end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear, which meshes with a second bevel gear. The second bevel gear is rotatably mounted on a fixed plate inside the housing, and a one-way threaded rod is fixedly connected to the second bevel gear. The one-way threaded rod is threadedly connected to a threaded cylinder.

[0012] The fixing plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing, and is threadedly connected to the one-way threaded rod, while also providing support for the second bevel gear. The threaded cylinder is slidably connected to the housing, and the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing.

[0013] The animal cage has a door at the top for easy removal of the experimental animal, and the top of the door has a first handle for easy opening.

[0014] The pool is equipped with a cleaning water tank and an emergency water tank. Both the cleaning water tank and the emergency water tank have a drain outlet at their center. A faucet is installed at the end of the pool near the drain outlet.

[0015] A light for illumination is installed between the pool and the animal cages.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. In this invention, experimental animals may struggle, jump, or even attack the experimental personnel if they are not restrained due to fright, pain, or other stimuli. The clamping mechanism can reduce their threat to the experimental personnel and ensure their personal safety.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, the lifting mechanism allows the experimenter to adjust the height of the experimental platform according to the specific needs of the experiment, thereby adapting to experimental animals of different sizes and types, as well as operators of different heights. By adjusting the height of the experimental platform, the operator can maintain a more comfortable posture for conducting experiments, reducing fatigue and discomfort caused by bending over or raising arms for a long time, and improving work efficiency.
