[0039] Some rat cages in related technologies have fixed structures, making it difficult to flexibly adjust them according to experimental needs. If changes in feeding conditions are required, the entire rat cage often needs to be replaced, thus increasing experimental costs. This application solves the problem of flexible adjustment of the modular rat cage structure by setting connectors with mutually perpendicular first and second connection directions on the cage unit.

[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 16 This application provides a modular mouse cage unit component, including a cage unit 1, a first connecting part 2, a second connecting part 3, and other functional components as needed, which are described in detail below.

[0041] In this embodiment, the housing unit 1 is rectangular. A first connecting part 2 is provided on one side of the housing unit 1, and a second connecting part 3 is provided on the other side of the housing unit 1. There are at least two first connecting parts 2 and two second connecting parts 3. Both the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 include a connector 4. The connector 4 has a first connecting direction and a second connecting direction that are perpendicular to each other. The connector 4 of the first connecting part 2 of the unit component is used to connect with the connector 4 of the second connecting part 3 of another unit component to form a splicing of the unit components in the first connecting direction and the second connecting direction.

[0042] It is understood that the box unit 1 in this embodiment has a rectangular cubic structure to facilitate the splicing of adjacent box units 1. In this embodiment, there may be two, three, four, or even more first connecting parts 2 and second connecting parts 3. For example, when there are two first connecting parts 2 and two second connecting parts 3... Figure 14 As shown, the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 are provided with four... Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 are provided with eight [time-like] ... Figure 10As shown. The first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 correspond one-to-one. For example, one or two first connecting parts 2 can be provided at the four corners on one side of the housing unit 1, and one or two second connecting parts 3 can be provided at the four corners on the other side of the housing unit 1; or one or two first connecting parts 2 can be provided at the middle of the four sides on one side of the housing unit 1, and one or two second connecting parts 3 can be provided at the middle of the four sides on the other side of the housing unit 1. The specific arrangement of the first connecting parts 2 and the second connecting parts 3 is not limited to this, and can be set as needed. In this embodiment, the connector 4 has a first connection direction and a second connection direction that are perpendicular to each other. That is, the connector 4 can realize connection in the first connection direction or connection in the second connection direction. This embodiment only limits the connector 4 to have two connection directions, and does not limit the connector 4 to connect in both directions simultaneously. For example, the connector 4 can be used to splice unit components in the first connection direction, or it can be used to splice unit components in the second connection direction, or it can be used to splice unit components in both the first and second connection directions. That is, in this embodiment, splicing unit components in the first and second connection directions includes splicing unit components in the first and / or second connection directions. In this embodiment, the first connection direction and the second connection direction are perpendicular to each other. For example, the first connection direction can be a left-right connection, and the second connection direction can be a top-bottom connection.

[0043] The modular mouse box in this embodiment includes a connector 4 as a unit component. The connector 4 has a first connection direction and a second connection direction that are perpendicular to each other. This enables the splicing of unit components, as well as the splicing of unit components in the first connection direction and the second connection direction. The splicing direction of the unit components is also selectable. This allows the structure of the modular mouse box to be flexibly adjusted according to experimental needs, realizing the diversification of mouse box structure without replacing the entire mouse box, thus reducing experimental costs.

[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figures 5-7 The connector 4 is a movable connector 4. Both the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 include a ball socket 11 and a ball head 10. The ball socket 11 is fixed to the housing unit 1, and the ball head 10 is rotatably fitted onto the ball socket 11. The movable connector 4 is fixedly connected to the ball head 10, forming a connector 4 with a first connecting direction and a second connecting direction. When the connector 4 is a movable connector 4, the connector 4 can achieve splicing in the first connecting direction and the second connecting direction by rotating the ball head 10. For example, when splicing in the first connecting direction, such as... Figure 8 As shown, simply rotate connector 4 to the first connection direction for splicing. When splicing in the first connection direction, as follows: Figure 9 As shown, simply rotate connector 4 to the second connection direction for splicing. In some implementations, such as... Figure 10 As shown, a connecting part on the housing unit 1 can be provided with two ball sockets 11, ball heads 10, and four sets of connectors. For example, two ball sockets 11, ball heads 10, and four sets of connectors can be provided at each of the four corners. When splicing in only one direction, the two connectors 4 of the connecting part can both be rotated to the same splicing direction for splicing. When splicing in both the first and second connecting directions needs to be achieved simultaneously, one connector 4 of the connecting part can be rotated to the first connecting direction for splicing, and the other connector 4 can be rotated to the second connecting direction for splicing. In some embodiments, a connecting part on the housing unit 1 can also be provided with only one ball socket 11, ball head 10, and four sets of connectors. For example, only one ball socket 11, ball head 10, and four sets of connectors can be provided at each of the four corners. In this case, the connector 4 can achieve splicing in either the first or second connecting direction by rotating the ball head 10 in the ball socket 11.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figures 11-13 As shown, connector 4 is a movable connector 4. Both the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 include a support shaft 12, which is fixed to the housing unit 1. A rotating sleeve 17 is fixedly mounted on one end of the movable connector 4. The rotating sleeve 17 is rotatably fitted onto the support shaft 12, forming a connector 4 with a first connecting direction and a second connecting direction. During splicing, connector 4 can achieve splicing in the first connecting direction and the second connecting direction by rotating the rotating sleeve 17 on the support shaft 12. For example, when splicing in the first connecting direction, such as... Figure 12 As shown, simply rotate connector 4 to the first connection direction for splicing. When splicing in the second connection direction, as follows... Figure 13 As shown, the connector 4 can be rotated to the second connection direction for splicing. In some embodiments, a connection part on the housing unit 1 can be provided with two rotating sleeves 17 and connectors 4. For example, two rotating sleeves 17 and connectors 4 can be provided at each of the four corners. When splicing is only performed in one direction, the two connectors 4 at the connection part can be rotated to the same splicing direction for splicing. When splicing in both the first and second connection directions needs to be achieved simultaneously, one connector 4 at the connection part can be rotated to the first connection direction for splicing, and the other connector 4 can be rotated to the second connection direction for splicing. In some embodiments, a connection part on the housing unit 1 can also be provided with only one rotating sleeve 17 and connector 4. For example, only one rotating sleeve 17 and connector 4 can be provided at each of the four corners. In this case, the connector 4 can achieve splicing in the first or second connection direction by rotating the rotating sleeve 17 on the support shaft 12. In some application scenarios, the ball socket 11 and the support shaft 12 can be set on the housing unit 1 by a fixing seat, or they can be directly fixed to the housing unit 1.

[0046] In one embodiment, when both the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 include a support shaft 12 and a rotating sleeve 17, the support shaft 12 is provided with two elastic protrusions 18 that can move along an axial direction perpendicular to the support shaft 12. The rotating sleeve 17 is provided with a limiting hole, which is used to fix the connector 4 in the first connecting direction or the second connecting direction by engaging with either of the two elastic protrusions 18 through the rotation of the rotating sleeve 17. The positioning in the first connecting direction and the second connecting direction can be achieved by engaging the elastic protrusion 18 with the limiting hole. For example, when splicing in the first connecting direction, the connector 4 is rotated until the elastic protrusion 18 corresponding to the first connecting direction is engaged in the limiting hole, that is, the rotating sleeve 17 is rotated into place, and the connector 4 is in the first connecting direction, thereby facilitating splicing. In some embodiments, the protrusion height of the elastic protrusion 18 should not be too high, so that the elastic protrusion 18 can automatically exit the limiting hole when the rotating sleeve 17 rotates. This embodiment does not limit the specific structure of the elastic protrusion 18. For example, a spring can be set on the support shaft 12, and the elastic protrusion 18 can be driven into the limiting hole by the elastic action of the spring.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 can also be other structures, allowing splicing in either the first connecting direction or the second connecting direction. For example, in some embodiments, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, both the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 may be provided with a fixed connector 4 arranged along the first connecting direction and a fixed connector 4 arranged along the second connecting direction. When splicing, the connector 4 in the corresponding direction can be selected for splicing.

[0048] In one embodiment, at least two of the four corners on one side of the housing unit 1 are provided with relief grooves 8. The first connecting portion 2 and the second connecting portion 3 are disposed in the relief grooves 8. The relief groove 8 has at least two slots 801 corresponding to the first connecting direction and the second connecting direction, and the two slots 801 are connected. The relief grooves 8 can avoid the influence of the height of the first connecting portion 2 and the second connecting portion 3 during splicing, resulting in better fit between adjacent housing units 1. This embodiment does not impose specific limitations on the shape of the relief grooves 8; it only needs to accommodate the first connecting portion 2 and the second connecting portion 3.

[0049] In one embodiment, the connector 4 of the first connecting part 2 is provided with a connecting hole 9, and the connector 4 of the second connecting part 3 is inserted into the connecting hole 9 to form a connection. Inserting the connector 4 into the connecting hole 9 allows for automatic alignment, which is more conducive to rapid assembly. This embodiment does not limit the specific shape of the connecting hole 9 or the connector 4; for example, they can be circular or square. This embodiment does not limit the specific setting of the connecting hole 9; the connector 4 of one unit component can be inserted into the connecting hole 9 of another unit component. For example, when splicing vertically, the connector 4 on the upper side of each housing unit 1 can be provided with a connecting hole 9, and the outer diameter of the lower connector 4 can be matched with the diameter of the upper connecting hole 9, so that the lower connector 4 of one unit component is inserted into the upper connecting hole 9 of another unit component, forming a vertical splicing between unit components. In some embodiments, when splicing is done both vertically and horizontally, and both the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 are provided with two fixed connectors 4, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the left-right connector 4 on the left side of the housing unit 1 can be an insert without a connection hole 9, while the right-right connector 4 can be an insert with a connection hole 9. Simultaneously, the vertical connector 4 on the lower side of the housing unit 1 can be an insert without a connection hole 9, and the vertical connector 4 on the upper side can be an insert with a connection hole 9. Alternatively, the right-right connector 4 on the left-right side of the housing unit 1 can be an insert without a connection hole 9, while the left-right connector 4 on the left side can be an insert with a connection hole 9. Simultaneously, the vertical connector 4 on the upper side of the housing unit 1 can be an insert without a connection hole 9, and the vertical connector 4 on the lower side can be an insert with a connection hole 9. In some embodiments, when both the upper and lower sides are spliced, and the connectors 4 of the first connecting part 2 and the second connecting part 3 are both movable connectors 4, each connecting part (such as each corner of the housing unit 1) can be provided with two connecting parts, such as... Figure 10 As shown, one of the two connecting parts is used for vertical connection and the other is used for horizontal connection. Specifically, in the vertical connection, the lower connecting head 4 can be the insert and the upper connecting head 4 can be the inserted part. In the horizontal connection, the left connecting head 4 can be the insert and the right connecting head 4 can be the inserted part.

[0050] In some embodiments, the connector 4 of the first connecting part 2 and the connector 4 of the second connecting part 3 can be connected by magnetic adsorption. Magnetic adsorption connection not only provides quick connection but also increases connection stability. During magnetic adsorption, the connector 4 of the first connecting part 2 and the connector 4 of the second connecting part 3 can have the same shape, and they can be connected by adsorption through the end faces of the connector 4. Alternatively, the connector 4 of the first connecting part 2 and the connector 4 of the second connecting part 3 can have different shapes. For example, a connection hole 9 can be provided on part of the connector 4. When the connector 4 is inserted into the connection hole 9 to form a connection, magnetic adsorption connection can also be provided, that is, the connector 4 is inserted into the connection hole 9 and fixed in the connection hole 9 by magnetism. The connection formed in this case is better. The connection method between the connector 4 of the first connecting part 2 and the connector 4 of the second connecting part 3 in this embodiment is not limited to the above method, and other connection methods can also be used, such as snap-fit.

[0051] In one embodiment, at least one surface of the housing unit 1 is provided with a communication port for communicating with other housing units 1. A resettable door 5 is connected to the communication port via a torsion spring. One end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the housing unit 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the resettable door 5. The communication port facilitates the movement of the experimental mouse between housing units 1. The resettable door 5 is connected to the communication port via the torsion spring, allowing the resettable door 5 to open bidirectionally. That is, after a mouse enters another housing unit 1 from one housing unit 1, it can return to its original housing unit 1 from the other housing unit 1, allowing the experimental mouse to move freely between the housing units 1. In this embodiment, the shapes of the communication port and the resettable door 5 can be adapted to each other. This embodiment does not limit the specific shapes of the communication port and the resettable door 5; for example, they can be circular or square. In some embodiments, a latch can also be provided at each communication port. When it is not necessary to open the resettable door 5, the latch can be used to fix the resettable door 5, keeping the communication port closed.

[0052] In one embodiment, the housing unit 1 is provided with an operating port 6, and a sliding groove is provided on the outer surface of the housing unit 1. The sliding groove is located on opposite sides of the operating port 6, and a sliding door 7 is installed in the sliding groove for closing or opening the operating port 6. The operating port 6 facilitates cleaning and organization inside the housing unit 1, and can also be used to replace experimental equipment when necessary. This embodiment does not limit the size or shape of the operating port 6, and can be set as needed. In some embodiments, the operating port 6 can also be provided with a latch to lock the sliding door 7, so that the operating port 6 is stably closed when it does not need to be opened. In some embodiments, the operating port 6 can also serve as a passage for mice to pass through, that is, mice can shuttle back and forth between adjacent housing units 1 through the open operating port 6.

[0053] In one embodiment, such as Figure 15As shown, the enclosure unit 1 is equipped with an entertainment structure, including a climbing frame 20 and a crawling pipe 19. The entertainment structure can reduce the likelihood of mice experiencing psychological or physical health problems and improve the accuracy of experimental results. The entertainment structure in this embodiment is not limited to this and may also include other structures, such as climbing ropes 21, rotating frames, climbing poles, etc. In some application scenarios, the entertainment structure can be detachably fixed inside the enclosure unit 1 and can be removed as needed for the experiment.

[0054] In the modular mouse box unit components provided in the above embodiments, the connector 4 has a first connection direction and a second connection direction that are perpendicular to each other, which can realize the splicing of unit components in the first connection direction and the second connection direction. The structure of the modular mouse box can be flexibly adjusted according to experimental needs, realizing the diversification of mouse box structure, without the need to replace the entire mouse box, thus reducing experimental costs.

[0055] Please see Figures 2-4 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 16 , Figure 17 This application embodiment also provides a modular mouse box, including at least two unit components as described above, which are spliced ​​together, and the connector 4 of the first connecting part 2 of the unit component is connected to the connector 4 of the second connecting part 3 of the adjacent unit component.

[0056] The unit components in this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here. The number of unit components in this embodiment can be set as needed, for example, two, three, or even more. The structures of each unit component in this embodiment can be the same or different. For example, in the unit components located at the ends, the side of the housing unit 1 away from the center of the modular mouse box may not have a communication port, while the other unit components may have communication ports on both opposite sides. In some application scenarios, in the end unit components, such as Figure 16 As shown, the side of the box unit 1 away from the center of the modular mouse box may not have a connecting part.

[0057] In one embodiment, the modular mouse cage further includes an insulation sleeve fitted over the assembled cage unit 1. A heating pad 13 is provided between the insulation sleeve and the cage unit 1, and an insulating layer is provided between the heating pad 13 and the cage unit 1. The modular mouse cage also includes a temperature sensor 16 extending into the cage unit 1. The insulation sleeve and heating pad 13 prevent health problems in the experimental mice due to excessively low temperatures and maintain a stable temperature, resulting in better stability of experimental conditions and improved accuracy of experimental results. The temperature sensor 16 facilitates temperature sensing within the cage unit 1. To facilitate temperature control, such as... Figure 17As shown, in this embodiment, the heating pad 13 can be electrically connected to the temperature control box 14, and the temperature sensor 16 is also electrically connected to the temperature control box 14. The temperature control box 14 can acquire data from the temperature sensor 16 and control the heating of the heating pad 13 to maintain a more stable temperature. During use, the temperature control box 14 can be electrically connected or disconnected via the plug 15 provided on it. This embodiment does not limit the specific setting of the isolation layer, as long as it avoids direct contact between the heating pad 13 and the box unit 1. The isolation layer can prevent the temperature of the contact area between the box unit 1 and the heating pad 13 from becoming too high due to direct contact between the heating pad 13 and the box unit 1.

[0058] In the modular mouse box provided in the above embodiments, the connector 4 of the unit component has a first connection direction and a second connection direction that are perpendicular to each other, which can realize the splicing of the unit components in the first connection direction and the second connection direction. The structure of the modular mouse box can be flexibly adjusted according to experimental needs, realizing the diversification of mouse box structure, without the need to replace the entire mouse box, thus reducing experimental costs.

[0059] The above examples illustrate this application only to aid understanding and are not intended to limit its scope. Those skilled in the art to which this application pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the ideas presented.
