Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal breeding cage technology, specifically a mobile laboratory animal breeding box. Background Technology

[0002] Laboratory animals are animals used in scientific experiments, typically for research on disease treatment, drug testing, and genetic research. Common laboratory animals include mice, rats, rabbits, pigs, dogs, and cats. When these animals give birth in cages, they produce excrement over time. However, currently, the excrement collection components of these cages are integrated with the cage body. This integration makes cleaning more difficult, requiring operators to move or flip the entire cage to remove the excrement. This process is cumbersome and time-consuming, and may require stopping the experiment or moving the animals, affecting the continuity and stability of the experiment.

[0003] Utility model CN221382100U discloses an experimental animal breeding cage, relating to the field of breeding cage technology. It includes a cleaning mechanism with a collection mechanism on one side. The cleaning mechanism comprises a cage body, an inner wall of which is fitted with a platform. The inner wall of the cage body fits into the outer side of the platform, and a movable arm is provided at the bottom of the platform. This utility model involves slightly pushing the connecting plate. During this process, the animal's feet are affected and move onto the connecting plate. Subsequently, the bottom support is pulled to one side, causing the bottom support to shift position. The movable arm gradually tilts from a vertical position, causing the platform to gradually retract from the cage body. As it retracts, the L-shaped rod reaches the end of the support column, which in turn pulls the crossbar, causing a scraper to remove excrement from the platform, thus cleaning the excrement inside the cage. This process is more convenient and efficient, saving manpower and time costs.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned existing technologies still have shortcomings in use: 1. The method of using a scraper to scrape back and forth to remove excrement has the disadvantage of low excrement cleaning efficiency; 2. Excrement is easy to remain at the bottom of the cage after scraping, that is to say, there is a problem of incomplete scraping of excrement, which can easily produce odor and accelerate bacterial growth.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a mobile experimental animal breeding box. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a mobile laboratory animal breeding box to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology. This utility model has the advantages of more efficient cleaning of breeding waste, more thorough cleaning function, elimination of breeding odor, and effective prevention of rapid bacterial growth.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a mobile experimental animal breeding box, including a box body, a mesh plate at the bottom of the box body, support legs near the corners at the bottom of the box body, wheels at the bottom of the support legs, a conveyor belt located below the mesh plate at the bottom of the box body, a conveyor belt on the conveyor belt, a spray pipe on one side of the box body, and one end of the conveyor belt extending below the spray pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the conveyor belt includes a frame and a drive roller, with the two sides of the frame and one side of an adjacent support leg fixedly connected, and the drive roller rotatably connected to both ends of the frame and the two connected by a conveyor belt.

[0009] Furthermore, a throttle is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission roller.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer circumferential surface of the conveyor belt is provided with circumferentially evenly distributed liquid storage tanks, and the outer circumferential wall of the conveyor belt is fixedly provided with liquid storage tanks located at both ends.

[0011] Furthermore, a splash guard is fixedly connected to one side of the housing, located above the conveyor belt, and the spray pipe is located on top of the splash guard.

[0012] Furthermore, a roller brush with its bottom in contact with the conveyor belt is rotatably connected inside the splash guard.

[0013] Furthermore, the two ends of the roller brush are fixedly connected to a support shaft that is rotatably connected to the splash guard, and a control motor is fixedly connected to one side of the splash guard. The output shaft of the control motor is fixedly connected to one end of the support shaft.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, by setting a mesh plate at the bottom of the box and a conveyor belt located below the mesh plate, the waste generated by breeding will leak onto the conveyor belt. When too much waste accumulates on the conveyor belt, controlling the operation of the conveyor belt can discharge the waste. Compared with the prior art, this setting has the advantage of being more efficient in cleaning the waste generated by the breeding box.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, a spray pipe is installed on one side of the box body, and one end of the conveyor belt extends to the bottom of the spray pipe. After the waste on the conveyor belt is discharged, the water can be used to wash the conveyor belt when the spray pipe is controlled to spray water, thereby improving the cleanliness of the conveyor. This setup has the advantages of purifying the breeding environment and reducing the growth rate of bacteria. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a mobile experimental animal breeding box, including a box body 1, with a mesh plate 2 at the bottom of the box body 1. The mesh plate 2 is used to support the animals being raised and has the function of conveniently exposing animal excrement, food and other waste downwards. In specific implementation, the mesh plate 2 can be a perforated plate or a wire mesh.

[0023] In this embodiment, there are four support legs 3 near the corners of the bottom of the box body 1. The bottom of the support legs 3 is equipped with wheels 4, which facilitates the movement of the breeding box.

[0024] Furthermore, a conveyor belt 5 is provided at the bottom of the housing 1, located below the mesh plate 2. A conveyor belt 51 is mounted on this conveyor belt 5. Preferably, the conveyor belt 5 includes a frame 52 and drive rollers 53. The frame 52 consists of two parallel crossbeams, with both sides of the frame 52 and one side of the adjacent support legs 3 fixedly connected. The drive rollers 53 are rotatably connected to both ends of the frame 52, and the two are connected via the conveyor belt 51. The conveyor belt 51 serves to receive the aforementioned waste, and during operation, it discharges the waste outwards, providing a timely and rapid waste transfer function and effectively preventing bacterial growth.

[0025] In use, a liquid storage tank 511 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the conveyor belt 51, which is evenly distributed in the circumference. The function of the liquid storage tank 511 is to temporarily store animal urine or other waste liquids. The outer circumferential wall of the conveyor belt 51 is fixedly provided with a barrier 512 at both ends. The barrier 512 is a rubber strip structure, which is used to prevent liquids and solids from leaking out from both sides of the conveyor belt 51.

[0026] A spray pipe 6 is installed on one side outside the box 1. When in use, the water inlet end of the spray pipe 6 is connected to an external water pump through a hose. The water pump supplies water to the spray pipe 6. One end of the conveyor belt 51 extends to the bottom of the spray pipe 6. When in use, a row of nozzles can be installed at the bottom of the spray pipe 6. After the nozzles spray water, they can wash the running conveyor belt 51, eliminate odors, and purify the breeding environment.

[0027] Furthermore, a splash guard 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 1, located above the conveyor belt 51. The spray pipe 6 is located on top of the splash guard 7. The function of the splash guard 7 is to prevent the water mist sprayed from the spray pipe 6 from radiating outward, so that the water is concentrated on the conveyor belt 51.

[0028] In this embodiment, a roller brush 8 is rotatably connected inside the splash guard 7, with its bottom in contact with the conveyor belt 51. The outer periphery of the roller brush 8 is provided with a brush. When the roller brush 8 rotates, the brush will clean the outer surface of the conveyor belt 51. This arrangement can improve the cleanliness of the conveyor belt 51.

[0029] Furthermore, the two ends of the roller brush 8 are fixedly connected to the support shafts that are rotatably connected to the splash guard 7, and a control motor 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the splash guard 7. The output shaft of the control motor 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the support shaft, thereby the control motor 9 controls the rotation of the roller brush 8 through the support shaft.

[0030] In this embodiment, a throttle 531 is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission roller 53. When it is necessary to control the operation of the conveyor belt 51, the throttle 531 can be manually turned to drive one of the transmission rollers 53 to rotate, thereby controlling the operation of the conveyor belt 51. A drive motor can also be installed on one side of the frame 52, and the output of the drive motor can be fixedly connected to one end of another transmission roller 53, thereby realizing the motor control function of the conveyor belt 51.

[0031] Working principle: Waste generated by animals during feeding and excretion will fall onto the conveyor belt 51 through the mesh plate 2. When too much waste accumulates and produces an odor, the animal enclosure is manually pushed to the waste collection pool. The protruding end of the conveyor belt 51 is then facing the waste collection pool. The conveyor belt 51 is then turned on, and the waste on it is transferred to the waste collection pool. Then, the spray pipe 6 is controlled to spray water downwards, and the control motor 9 is started to rotate the roller brush 8. At this time, the water washes the outer surface of the conveyor belt 51, and the roller brush 8 cleans the conveyor belt. After cleaning, the animal enclosure can be pushed to the breeding area for continued use.

[0032] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
