Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model provides a laboratory animal transport rack, belonging to the field of animal transport technology. Background Technology

[0002] Animals such as pigs and monkeys are remarkably similar to humans in anatomy, physiology, and disease mechanisms, making them of significant practical value in life science research. Currently, research on laboratory animals can provide important insights into the discovery of certain diseases. Laboratory pigs and monkeys are large laboratory animals, requiring them to be moved from the rearing area to the experimental area before any experiments are conducted.

[0003] Currently, the transport of large laboratory animals mainly relies on manual labor and cages. This forceful method of pulling and dragging easily provokes resistance from the animals, sometimes resulting in scratches. While cage transport avoids this, the inherent intimidation of the cage (being in a relatively enclosed space) often makes animals reluctant to enter. Furthermore, the cage space is usually significantly larger than the animal's size, leading to restless movement and collisions, which hinders transport. Therefore, this invention provides a laboratory animal transport frame. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is that laboratory animals are often unwilling to be placed in cages. When laboratory animals are in cages with considerable space, they often run around or bump into the cages, which is not conducive to the transportation of laboratory animals.

[0005] To solve the technical problem, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an experimental animal transport rack, comprising a cage body, a spraying assembly for spraying an inducing agent at the top of the cage body, cage openings symmetrically provided on both side walls of the cage body, a cage door rotatably connected to one side wall of each cage opening, a pair of restraint assemblies for restraining experimental animals provided inside the cage body, each restraint assembly including a screw rotatably connected to the side wall of the cage body, one end of the screw being rotatably connected to a restraint plate placed inside the cage body; the spraying assembly including a water tank, a water pump provided at the bottom of the water tank, and a spraying head connected to the water pump at the top of the cage body.

[0006] Furthermore, the water pump has a water inlet on one side and a water outlet pipe on the other side that extends out of the water tank and is connected to the spray head.

[0007] Furthermore, the water tank is fixedly installed on the top of the cage body, and the top of the water tank is provided with a water inlet, and a tank cover is threadedly connected to the water inlet.

[0008] Furthermore, the cage body is provided with symmetrical casters on both sides of the bottom, and the casters are provided with brake pads.

[0009] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is provided between the cage door and the cage opening, and a door lock that cooperates with the cage body is provided on the cage door.

[0010] Furthermore, the sidewall of the constraint plate is provided with a buffer pad, which is made of rubber material.

[0011] Furthermore, the other end of the screw is provided with a handle, and the side wall of the constraint plate is symmetrically provided with limiting rods that extend out of the cage.

[0012] Furthermore, a battery box is provided on the top of the cage, and a control panel is provided on the top of the battery box. The battery in the battery box is electrically connected to the water pump through the control panel.

[0013] Furthermore, the cage body has multiple grid holes located on the outside of the screw on its side wall.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] The spraying assembly activates the water pump, causing the inducing agent in the tank to be sprayed from the spray nozzle into the cage. This induces relatively large laboratory animals such as pigs and monkeys to enter the cage. A pair of restraint components allows the distance between the restraint plates to be adjusted according to the size of the laboratory animal, effectively reducing the walking space of the laboratory animal in the cage. This prevents the laboratory animal from running around in the cage or bumping into the cage, making it easier to transport the laboratory animal. Attached Figure Description

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

[0023] According to the appendix Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3: This utility model provides an experimental animal transport rack, including a cage body 1. The side wall of the cage body 1 is provided with multiple grid holes 21 located outside the screw 6 for ventilation. Universal wheels 14 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the bottom of the cage body 1. The universal wheels 14 are provided with brake pads. The side walls of the cage body 1 are symmetrically provided with cage openings 3. A cage door 4 is rotatably connected to one side wall of the cage opening 3. A rotating shaft 15 is provided between the cage door 4 and the cage opening 3 to ensure that the cage door 4 can be opened effectively. The cage door 4 is provided with a door lock 16 that cooperates with the cage body 1. Opening the cage door 4 allows relatively large experimental animals such as pigs and monkeys to be moved into the cage body 1. Closing the cage door 4 allows the cage body 1 to be easily pushed by the universal wheels 14. After the experimental animal placed in the cage body 1 is moved to a suitable position, the cage door 4 on the other side is opened to push the experimental animal out for subsequent animal experiments.

[0024] According to the appendix Figure 2 , 3 As shown in Figure 5: The cage 1 is equipped with a pair of restraint components 5 for restraining experimental animals. The restraint components 5 include a screw 6 rotatably connected to the side wall of the cage 1. One end of the screw 6 is rotatably connected to a restraint plate 7 placed inside the cage 1. The side wall of the restraint plate 7 is provided with a buffer pad 17, which is made of rubber material to avoid injury to the experimental animals during restraint. The other end of the screw 6 is provided with a handle. The side wall of the restraint plate 7 is symmetrically provided with limiting rods 18 that protrude from the cage 1, which serve to limit the restraint plate. By gripping the handle and rotating, the screw 6 is rotated and moved back and forth, thereby moving the restraint plate 7 back and forth, so that the distance between the restraint plates 7 can be adjusted according to the size of the experimental animal.

[0025] According to the appendix Figure 1 , 4As shown in Figure 5: The top of the cage 1 is equipped with a spraying assembly 2 for spraying an inducing agent. The spraying assembly 2 includes a water tank 8, a water pump 9 at the bottom of the water tank 8, and a spray head 10 connected to the water pump 9 at the top of the cage 1. The water pump 9 has a water inlet on one side and a water outlet pipe 11 on the other side that extends out of the water tank 8 and is connected to the spray head 10. The water tank 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the cage 1. The top of the water tank 8 has a water inlet 12, and a box cover 13 is threaded onto the water inlet 12. When the box cover 13 is opened, the inducing agent for inducing experimental animals is added to the water tank 8. By starting the water pump 9, the inducing agent in the water tank 8 is sprayed into the cage 1 through the water inlet, the water pump 9, and the water outlet pipe 11, thereby inducing relatively large experimental animals such as pigs and monkeys to enter the cage 1.

[0026] According to the appendix Figure 1 As shown: A battery box 19 is provided on the top of the cage 1, and a control panel 20 is provided on the top of the battery box 19. The battery in the battery box 19 is electrically connected to the water pump 9 through the control panel 20. The battery supplies power to the water pump 9, and the control panel 20 controls the opening and closing of the water pump 9. The control method of this utility model is automatic control by a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0027] The principle of this utility model

[0028] In use, open the cage door 4, start the water pump 9 through the spraying assembly 2, and the inducing agent in the water tank 8 is sprayed into the cage 1 from the spray head 10, thereby inducing relatively large experimental animals such as pigs and monkeys to enter the cage 1. Close the cage door 4, and through a pair of restraint assemblies 5, hold the handle and rotate it to drive the screw 6 to rotate and move back and forth. The distance between the restraint plates 7 can be adjusted according to the size of the experimental animal, effectively reducing the walking space of the experimental animal in the cage 1, so as to prevent the experimental animal from running around in the cage 1 or helping to hit the cage 1, which is more conducive to the transportation of experimental animals. The cage 1 can be easily pushed through the universal wheels 14. After the experimental animal placed in the cage 1 is moved to a suitable position, open the cage door 4 on the other side and push the experimental animal out for subsequent animal experiments.
