Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal experiments, and in particular to a breathable and comfortable feeding cage. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of animal testing, cages are common equipment. However, with the increasing demands on animal testing environments, traditional cages have gradually revealed many shortcomings.

[0003] Existing animal cages often simply have air inlets and outlets on the outside for ventilation. However, due to the small diameter of the inlets and the lack of air circulation, the air quality inside the cage is poor. Even with simple ventilation, if the external temperature fluctuates significantly, such as during cold weather, maintaining ventilation can cause drastic temperature changes within the cage. Cold environments can lead to animal frostbite, affecting their physiological functions and health. Some small mammals may experience weakened immunity, stunted growth, or even death due to hypothermia.

[0004] Meanwhile, simply ventilating the cage is insufficient; if the outside air contains dust, impurities, microorganisms, or other pollutants, these substances can easily enter the cage, contaminating the animals' living environment and increasing their risk of disease. Although some cages are equipped with filters, the process of disassembling and installing these filters is cumbersome and complex, requiring specialized tools and a significant amount of time. This makes regular cleaning and maintenance of the filters difficult, leading to severe clogging after long-term use, greatly reducing their filtration efficiency and failing to effectively guarantee the cleanliness of the air inside the cage.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new type of breathable and comfortable breeding cage to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a breathable and comfortable breeding cage.

[0007] This utility model provides a breathable and comfortable breeding cage, comprising: a cage body, an opening at the upper end of the cage body, a flip-top cover plate installed and connected to the opening, a buckle at one end of the flip-top cover plate, an air inlet on one end side wall of the cage body, and an air outlet on one end side wall of the cage body; an expansion tube, one end of the expansion tube being fixedly connected to the air inlet, a small fan installed and connected inside the expansion tube, a porous heat-conducting plate installed and connected inside the expansion tube, and a heat-conducting component on the expansion tube.

[0008] Preferably, the heat-conducting component includes a connector, which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the porous heat-conducting plate, and an electric heating element is installed on the outer wall of the outer expansion tube, with a heat-conducting head on the electric heating element.

[0009] Preferably, the insertion tube is fixedly connected to the wall of the outer expansion tube, and the heat-conducting head is inserted into the insertion tube.

[0010] Preferably, the porous heat-conducting plate is provided with multiple small air holes.

[0011] Preferably, a frame is provided at one end of the expansion tube, and a filter screen is provided in the frame.

[0012] Preferably, two pins are symmetrically provided on the side wall of the ring frame, and two alignment ports are symmetrically provided on the pipe opening wall of the outer expansion tube, with the two pins slidably connected to the two alignment ports respectively.

[0013] Preferably, two main magnetic blocks are symmetrically arranged on the frame of the ring, and two auxiliary magnetic blocks are symmetrically arranged at the opening of the outer expansion tube, with the magnetic poles of the two main magnetic blocks being opposite to those of the two auxiliary magnetic blocks.

[0014] Compared with related technologies, the breathable and comfortable breeding cage provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model allows outside air to flow into the external expansion pipe by starting a small fan. With the help of electric heating elements, heat-conducting heads and porous heat-conducting plates, the air can be evenly heated to a suitable temperature. It can perform constant temperature preheating treatment on the incoming air, effectively adapting to various temperature environments and providing comfortable and stable temperature conditions for animals in the cage. This is conducive to the healthy growth and survival of animals, reduces diseases or poor growth caused by unsuitable temperature, and improves the practicality and applicability of the cage.

[0016] 2. This utility model effectively filters air through the filter screen at the opening of the externally expanded pipe, preventing impurities from entering the rearing cage and polluting the environment. When cleaning the filter screen is required, simply pull the ring frame to remove it. The quick and easy installation and removal of the filter screen is achieved through the cooperation of the pin and the alignment port, greatly facilitating regular cleaning and maintenance by the user. This ensures that the filter screen maintains its filtering effect at all times, continuously providing a clean air environment in the rearing cage, helping to maintain hygiene within the cage and reducing the risk of disease in animals.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 A breathable and comfortable breeding cage includes: a cage body 1, with an opening at the upper end of the cage body 1, a flip cover 2 installed and connected to the opening, a buckle 21 at one end of the flip cover 2, an air inlet 3 on one side wall of the cage body 1, and an air outlet 31 on one side wall of the cage body 1; an expansion pipe 4, one end of the expansion pipe 4 being fixedly connected to the air inlet 3, a small fan 41 installed and connected inside the expansion pipe 4, a porous heat-conducting plate 42 installed and connected inside the expansion pipe 4, and a heat-conducting component on the expansion pipe 4.

[0024] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the heat-conducting assembly includes a plug tube 421, which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the porous heat-conducting plate 42. An electric heating element 44 is installed and connected on the outer wall of the outer expansion tube 4, and a heat-conducting head 43 is provided on the electric heating element 44.

[0025] It should be noted that: starting the small fan 41 allows outside air to flow in through the external expansion pipe 4, accelerating the air circulation inside the cage 1;

[0026] The heating element 44 is activated so that the temperature is evenly transferred to the porous heat-conducting plate 42 through the heat-conducting head 43 and the insertion pipe 421. This allows the air flowing in from the outside to be preheated at a constant temperature through the porous heat-conducting plate 42 inside the outer expansion pipe 4, ensuring that the air temperature of the exchanged air is more suitable and can be effectively adapted to use under various temperature environments.

[0027] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the insertion tube 421 is fixedly connected to the wall of the outer expansion tube 4, and the heat-conducting head 43 is inserted into the insertion tube 421.

[0028] It should be noted that the insertion pipe 421 ensures that the heat-conducting head 43 can be thermally connected to the porous heat-conducting plate 42.

[0029] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the porous heat-conducting plate 42 has multiple small pores.

[0030] It should be noted that the porous heat-conducting plate 42 has multiple small pores to facilitate ventilation.

[0031] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a frame 5 is provided at one end of the outer expansion pipe 4, and a filter screen 51 is provided in the frame 5.

[0032] It should be noted that the air is filtered using the filter screen 51 located at the inlet of the outer expansion pipe 4.

[0033] refer to Figure 3 As shown, two pins 6 are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the frame 5, and two alignment ports are symmetrically arranged on the pipe wall of the outer expansion tube 4. The two pins 6 are slidably connected to the two alignment ports respectively.

[0034] It should be noted that by inserting the two pins 6 on the ring frame 5 into the two alignment ports on the outer expansion tube 4, the ring frame 5 can be automatically aligned and connected.

[0035] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, two main magnetic blocks 7 are symmetrically arranged on the frame of the ring 5, and two auxiliary magnetic blocks 71 are symmetrically arranged at the opening of the outer expansion tube 4. The magnetic poles of the two main magnetic blocks 7 are opposite to those of the two auxiliary magnetic blocks 71.

[0036] It should be noted that by using two main magnetic blocks 7 to attract two auxiliary magnetic blocks 71, the frame 5 can be fixed in place by magnetic force, which facilitates the quick disassembly and assembly of the filter screen 51 for subsequent cleaning.

[0037] The working principle of the breathable and comfortable breeding cage provided by this utility model is as follows: When the ambient temperature is not suitable, the small fan 41 is turned on to allow outside air to flow in through the outer expansion pipe 4. Then, the electric heating element 44 is turned on to evenly transfer the temperature through the heat-conducting head 43 and the insertion pipe 421 to the porous heat-conducting plate 42. This allows the outside air to be preheated at a constant temperature through the porous heat-conducting plate 42 inside the outer expansion pipe 4, ensuring that the temperature of the exchanged air is more suitable, so as to effectively adapt to use under various temperature conditions.

[0038] The filter screen 51 at the opening of the outer expansion tube 4 filters the air. When the filter screen 51 needs to be cleaned, simply pull the ring frame 5 to remove the filter screen 51. At the same time, insert the two pins 6 on the ring frame 5 into the two alignment ports on the outer expansion tube 4, and use the two main magnetic blocks 7 to attract the two auxiliary magnetic blocks 71 to achieve quick disassembly and assembly of the filter screen 51 for subsequent cleaning.

[0039] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
