Finally, the inside of the main body 1 of the box is disinfected by the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 12.

[0027] In actual use, the door panel 23 is first opened and the pressing cylinder 13 is activated, so that the pressing rod 14 pushes the push plate 2 to slide forward with the cooperation of the slide groove 16, and moves the push plate 2 to the operation port 22. Then, the load-bearing baffle 8 after cleaning and disinfection is installed by cooperating with the locking block 11 on the push plate 2 through the locking groove 10 on the mounting plate 9.

[0028] Adjust the positions of the left fastener 3 and right fastener 4 according to the height and width of the animal's body. Push the upper moving plate 5 or the lower moving plate 6 up and down in the first adjustment groove 17 through the hydraulic telescopic rod 19 to adjust the required height. Then, the drive motor 21 opens the lead screw 20. The lead screw 20 rotates and drives the second adjustment block 25 to slide in opposite directions, so that the left fastener 3 and the right fastener 4 move in opposite directions until the left fastener 3 and the right fastener 4 on the upper moving plate 5 and the lower moving plate 6 are adjusted to the required positions. Finally, the animal's limbs are fixed by the Velcro structure 26. After fixing, the lower cylinder 13 pulls the push plate 2 to move into the main body 1 of the box.

[0029] In the pharmacological experiment, after injecting the drug to be tested, the door panel 23 is closed. The operator can easily observe through the transparent material of the door panel 23. The camera 24 records the entire process of the experiment for easy review later. Animal excrement flows automatically to the load-bearing baffle 8.
