Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of breeding cage technology, specifically a zoned experimental animal breeding cage. 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. Using laboratory animals in scientific research helps scientists better understand the physiological and pathological processes of humans and other animals, thus contributing to advancements in medicine and biology. When animals give birth in cages, they produce waste over time. However, current cages typically use a sliding fit between the waste collection components and the cage body, requiring complete removal of the collection components for cleaning, necessitating considerable space and making them unsuitable for smaller, more confined breeding environments.

[0003] Therefore, this utility model provides a zoned experimental animal breeding cage. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a zoned experimental animal breeding cage to solve the problems mentioned in the background. This invention allows for the cleaning of the receiving tray and bottom rod without removing the receiving tray, thus eliminating the need for a large cleaning space and expanding the applicability of the device. It also allows for zoned breeding and the selective connection of multiple zones.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a partitioned experimental animal breeding cage, comprising a cage body, a plurality of bottom rods fixed inside the cage body, a receiving plate slidably fitted inside the cage body, a scraper rod slidably fitted inside the receiving plate, bristles fixed on the scraper rod, the bristles corresponding to the bottom rods, a partition slidably fitted inside the cage body, a connecting opening in the partition, a feeding box slidably fitted on one side of the cage body, and a plurality of cage doors installed on the other side of the cage body.

[0006] Furthermore, multiple support legs are fixed to the lower side of the cage, and multiple grooves are opened on the upper side of the cage, with the grooves corresponding to the support legs.

[0007] Furthermore, a handle is fixed on one side of the receiving plate, and a screw is rotatably fitted inside the receiving plate, with the screw threadedly engaged with the scraper rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the receiving plate is slidably fitted with multiple sliding rods, which are slidably connected to the scraper rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the cage body is provided with a first sliding groove and a second sliding groove, and a first slider and a second slider are fixed on the partition.

[0010] Furthermore, the first chute corresponds to the first slider, and the second slider and the feeding box both correspond to the second chute. The second slider has multiple positioning bolts threaded onto it, and the positioning bolts are in contact with the cage body.

[0011] Furthermore, the cage door is located on the side of the cage body away from the feeding box, and the cage door is hinged to the cage body.

[0012] Furthermore, a baffle is hinged inside the connecting port, and door locks are installed between the baffle and the partition, and between the cage door and the cage body.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a partitioned experimental animal breeding cage, which includes a receiving tray; a scraper; a brush; a bottom rod; a cage body; a partition; and a connecting opening.

[0014] A scraper is slidably installed inside the receiving tray, and brush bristles are fixed on the scraper. This allows for cleaning of the receiving tray and bottom rod without removing the receiving tray or requiring a large cleaning space, thus expanding the applicability of the device. A partition is slidably installed inside the cage, and a connecting port is opened in the partition, allowing for zoned breeding and selectively connecting multiple areas.

[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 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a partitioned experimental animal breeding cage, including a cage body 1, a plurality of bottom rods 4 fixed inside the cage body 1, a receiving plate 5 slidably fitted inside the cage body 1, a scraper 7 slidably fitted inside the receiving plate 5, brush bristles 8 fixed on the scraper 7, the brush bristles 8 corresponding to the bottom rods 4, a partition 17 slidably fitted inside the cage body 1, a connecting opening 18 opened in the partition 17, a feeding box 11 slidably fitted on one side of the cage body 1, and a plurality of cage doors 14 installed on the other side of the cage body 1.

[0023] In this embodiment, multiple support legs 2 are fixed on the lower side of the cage body 1, and multiple grooves 3 are opened on the upper side of the cage body 1, with the grooves 3 corresponding to the support legs 2.

[0024] Specifically, when multiple cages 1 need to be stacked, the support legs 2 can be inserted into the grooves 3 to ensure the stability of the cages 1 when stacked.

[0025] A handle 6 is fixed on one side of the receiving plate 5. A screw 9 is rotatably fitted inside the receiving plate 5. The screw 9 is threadedly fitted with the scraper 7. Multiple slide rods 10 are slidably fitted inside the receiving plate 5. The slide rods 10 are slidably connected to the scraper 7.

[0026] Specifically, rotating the screw 9 will cause the scraper 7 to slide. The scraper 7 slides along the slide bar 10, which will push out the excrement on the inner side. Thus, the excrement can be cleaned by pulling the receiving plate 5 outward by a small distance, without having to completely remove the receiving plate 5 or requiring a large cleaning space.

[0027] The cage 1 has a first sliding groove 12 and a second sliding groove 13. The partition 17 has a first slider 15 and a second slider 16 fixed on it. The first sliding groove 12 corresponds to the first slider 15. The second slider 16 and the feeding box 11 both correspond to the second sliding groove 13. The second slider 16 has multiple positioning bolts 20 threadedly engaged with it. The positioning bolts 20 are in contact with the cage 1.

[0028] Specifically, the partition 17 can be slid to adjust the size of different zones, and the feeding box 11 can be slid to adjust its position. The positioning bolt 20 can be rotated to increase the friction between the positioning bolt 20 and the cage 1, thereby fixing the position of the partition 17.

[0029] The cage door 14 is located on the side of the cage body 1 away from the feed box 11, and the cage door 14 is hinged to the cage body 1. A baffle 19 is hinged inside the connecting opening 18. Locks are installed between the baffle 19 and the partition 17, and between the cage door 14 and the cage body 1.

[0030] Specifically, the connection port 18 can be blocked by the baffle 19. When the connection port 18 is opened, the two partitions can be connected through the connection port 18.

[0031] 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.
