Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semen storage technology, and in particular to a constant temperature storage device for boar semen. Background Technology

[0002] Artificial insemination technology for pigs is widely used in modern animal husbandry. To improve the reproductive efficiency of pig breeds and optimize the genetic makeup of the population, the application of semen preservation technology is particularly important. The storage conditions for pig semen are extremely strict, especially the control of temperature and environmental hygiene, thus requiring the use of a constant temperature storage box.

[0003] Existing temperature-controlled semen preservation devices lack the function of periodically shaking the semen during storage. This causes the semen to easily separate into layers when left to stand, with sperm settling at the bottom and the diluent floating on top. This disrupts the uniformity of the semen and affects sperm motility. Furthermore, prolonged standing of semen leads to the accumulation of metabolic waste, and sperm aggregation and adhesion accelerate sperm deterioration, shortening the preservation time and reducing semen quality. Consequently, these devices fail to meet the requirements for long-term, high-quality semen preservation. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a constant temperature storage device for boar semen to solve the problem that the lack of a function to shake the semen periodically during storage causes the semen in the device to easily separate into layers when it is left to stand, with sperm settling at the bottom and the diluent floating on the top, thus destroying the uniformity of the semen and making it impossible to meet the requirements for long-term high-quality semen preservation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a constant temperature storage device for boar semen, including a constant temperature chamber body. A lid is rotatably connected to the top of the constant temperature chamber body. A control panel is provided on the side wall of the constant temperature chamber body. Slide grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the constant temperature chamber body. Slide plates are slidably connected inside the slide grooves. A support plate is fixedly connected between the opposite surfaces of the slide plates. A shaking mechanism for shaking test tubes containing boar semen is provided on the top of the support plate.

[0006] Preferably, the rocking mechanism includes support frames fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the support plate. A limiting ring is rotatably connected between the opposing surfaces of the support frames. The limiting ring is circular in shape. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate. A turntable is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. Connecting rings are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the limiting ring. A rotating rod is rotatably connected between the inner sides of the connecting rings. A rocking column is fixedly connected to the middle part of the rotating rod. A rocking arm is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rocking column. One end of the rocking arm is fixedly connected to the top edge of the turntable. A placement plate is fixedly connected to the top of the rocking column.

[0007] Preferably, the top of the placement plate is fixedly connected to three placement rings of different diameters, and the outer wall of each placement ring is fixedly connected to multiple equally spaced mounting plates. The side wall of each mounting plate is fixedly connected to a rubber clamping piece, and the side wall of the rubber clamping piece is provided with a convenient placement groove.

[0008] Preferably, two telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the constant temperature chamber body, the top ends of the two telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate, and springs are sleeved on the outer walls of the telescopic rods. The bottom ends of the springs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the constant temperature chamber body, and the top ends of the springs are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate. Rollers are rotatably connected to the top of the slide plate, and the outer walls of the rollers are in contact with the bottom of the inner wall of the chamber lid.

[0009] Preferably, the side wall of the constant temperature chamber is fitted with an observation window for observing the storage condition of the pig semen.

[0010] Preferably, the shape of the toilet trough is L-shaped.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. This constant-temperature storage device for boar semen features a shaking mechanism where a servo motor drives a turntable to rotate. The turntable, via a shaking rod, drives a shaking column to rotate, which in turn causes the ring holding the semen tubes to shake in four directions. This more uniform shaking effectively prevents component stratification and sperm sedimentation during the storage of boar semen, ensuring semen homogeneity and improving sperm motility and quality. Furthermore, regular shaking effectively reduces the accumulation of metabolic waste and sperm aggregation and adhesion during static storage, thus delaying sperm degeneration. This provides more stable and efficient conditions for long-term preservation of boar semen, contributing to high-quality semen preservation over extended periods. This improves semen utilization and effectiveness, solving the problem of existing devices where component stratification easily occurs during static storage, with sperm settling at the bottom and diluent floating on top, disrupting semen homogeneity, affecting sperm motility, accelerating sperm degeneration, shortening storage time, and reducing semen quality, ultimately failing to meet the requirements for long-term, high-quality semen preservation.

[0013] 2. This constant-temperature storage device for boar semen works by opening the lid, causing rollers to contact the inner wall of the lid, releasing the spring force, and pushing the support plate upwards. The support plate then moves a sliding plate smoothly within a groove, ensuring the stability of the support plate's movement. Subsequently, the support plate continues to move upwards, causing the rocking mechanism and the boar semen test tubes placed in the enclosure to rise together, thereby increasing the height of the enclosure. This design avoids the need for workers to bend over to retrieve the semen. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a constant temperature storage device for pig semen includes a constant temperature chamber body 1, a lid 2 rotatably connected to the top of the constant temperature chamber body 1, a control panel 3 provided on the side wall of the constant temperature chamber body 1, and sliding grooves 4 opened on both sides of the inner wall of the constant temperature chamber body 1. Slide plates 5 are slidably connected inside the sliding grooves 4, and a support plate 6 is fixedly connected between the opposite surfaces of the slide plates 5. A shaking mechanism for shaking the test tube containing pig semen is provided on the top of the support plate 6.

[0025] Further, see attached document. Figures 3 to 5As shown, the rocking mechanism includes a support frame 7 fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the support plate 6. A limit ring 8 is rotatably connected between the opposite faces of the support frame 7. The limit ring 8 is circular in shape. A servo motor 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 6. A turntable 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 9. A connecting ring 10 is fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the limit ring 8. A rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected between the inner sides of the connecting ring 10. A rocking column 12 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the rotating rod 11. A rocking rod 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rocking column 12. One end of the rocking rod 13 is fixedly connected to the top edge of the turntable 22. A placement plate 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the rocking column 12. Three placement rings 14 of different diameters are fixedly connected to the top of the placement plate 23. Multiple mounting plates 15 evenly distributed at equal intervals are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the placement rings 14. A rubber clamping piece 16 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting plate 15. A convenient placement groove 17 is opened on the side wall of the rubber clamping piece 16.

[0026] When using the shaking mechanism, the test tube containing pig semen is first placed into the rubber clamping plate 16 for clamping. Because the rubber clamping plate 16 is made of rubber, it can accommodate test tubes of different widths, ensuring a stable clamping. After clamping, the lid 2 is closed. When shaking is required, the servo motor 9 is activated via the control panel 3. The servo motor 9 drives the turntable 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the rocking rod 13 to perform a circular motion. The rotation of the rocking rod 13 causes the rocking column 12 to rotate accordingly. Due to the limiting effect of the rotating rod 11, the rocking column 12 will shift to one side. During rotation, the rotating rod 11 rotates within the connecting ring 10, causing the limiting ring 8 to rotate along the inner wall of the support frame 7. Finally, the shaking column 12 drives the top placement plate 23 to rotate, which in turn causes the pig semen tubes held in the placement ring 14 and rubber clamping piece 16 to shake. In the shaking mechanism, the servo motor 9 drives the turntable 22 to rotate, and the turntable 22 drives the shaking column 12 to rotate via the shaking rod 13, which in turn causes the placement ring 14 holding the semen tubes to shake in four directions. This more even shaking effectively prevents component stratification and sperm sedimentation during the storage of pig semen, ensuring the uniformity of the semen and improving sperm quality. In addition to improving activity and quality, regular shaking can effectively reduce the accumulation of metabolic waste and sperm aggregation and adhesion during static storage, thereby delaying sperm degeneration. This provides more stable and efficient conditions for the long-term preservation of boar semen, helping to achieve high-quality semen preservation over a long period of time. This improves the utilization rate and effectiveness of semen and solves the problem that existing devices for storing semen easily cause component stratification during static storage, with sperm settling at the bottom and diluent floating on the top, disrupting the uniformity of the semen, affecting sperm activity, accelerating sperm degeneration, shortening storage time, and reducing semen quality, thus failing to meet the requirements for long-term high-quality semen preservation.

[0027] Further, see attached document. Figure 2As shown, two telescopic rods 18 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the constant temperature chamber body 1. The top ends of the two telescopic rods 18 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 6. Springs 19 are fitted on the outer walls of the telescopic rods 18. The bottom ends of the springs 19 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the constant temperature chamber body 1, and the top ends of the springs 19 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 6. Rollers 20 are rotatably connected to the top of the slide plate 5. The outer walls of the rollers 20 are in contact with the bottom of the inner wall of the chamber lid 2. When it is necessary to remove the test tube, after opening the chamber lid 2, the rollers 20 contact the inner wall of the chamber lid 2, the springs 19 release the spring force, and push the support plate 6 upward. The support plate 6 drives the slide plate 5 to slide smoothly in the slide groove 4, ensuring the stability of the movement of the support plate 6. Subsequently, the support plate 6 continues to move upward, and the shaking mechanism and the pig semen test tube in the placement ring 14 rise together, thereby increasing the height of the placement ring 14. This design avoids the need for staff to bend over to retrieve semen tubes, improving operational convenience and making it easier for staff to easily handle pig semen tubes.

[0028] Further, see attached document. Figure 1 As shown, the side wall of the constant temperature chamber body 1 is inlaid with an observation window 21 for observing the storage of pig semen.

[0029] Further, see attached document. Figure 4 As shown, the shape of the placement groove 17 is L-shaped. The shape of the placement groove 17 facilitates the lifting of the pig semen test tube and prevents the test tube from falling off the bottom of the rubber clamp 16.
