Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of breeding and observation boxes, and in particular relates to an animal breeding and observation box. Background Technology

[0002] Animal rearing and observation boxes consist of a box body, ventilation system, temperature control system, and lighting system. They are used to study the behavior, physiology, and ecology of animals. For example, by setting different environmental conditions and stimuli in the observation box, one can study the animal's reproductive behavior, foraging behavior, and stress response. In studying animal growth and development, the observation box provides a stable environment, facilitating the recording of morphological changes and physiological indicators from juvenile to adult.

[0003] Animal rearing observation boxes usually have transparent side walls, which makes it convenient for researchers to observe the living habits of animal cubs. However, during the daily activities of the cubs, they are prone to bumping into and touching the observation box, which can easily cause dirt to get on the inside of the box, affecting the researchers' view. At the same time, cleaning is very inconvenient, as it requires opening the observation box, which can easily frighten the animal cubs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes an animal breeding and observation box, which can more accurately solve the problems described above.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model proposes an animal breeding and observation box, including a base, four support columns fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, a transparent plate fixedly connected between two adjacent support columns, a top plate fixedly connected to the upper end of the support columns, ventilation and lighting equipment provided on the top plate, and cleaning components provided on the inner side of the transparent plate on the top plate.

[0007] In one example, the cleaning assembly includes a sliding plate that is slidably connected to two adjacent support columns. The two adjacent support columns are provided with square grooves on the inner side of the transparent plate. Both ends of the sliding plate are located in the square grooves. The top plate is provided with a square through groove that mates with the sliding plate. An elastic scraper is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding plate and abuts against the inner side of the transparent plate. The upper surface of the top plate is provided with a lifting assembly.

[0008] In one example, the lifting assembly includes two support plates, which are fixedly connected to a top plate. A winding wheel is rotatably connected between the support plates. A servo motor is fixedly connected to one side of one of the support plates. The main shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the winding wheel. A traction rope is fixedly connected between the winding wheel and a sliding plate. An elastic rope is fixedly connected between the sliding plate and the base. The elastic rope is located in a square groove.

[0009] In one example, an annular shell is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the top plate, the annular shell covers the winding wheel, four water tanks are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the annular shell, the bottom surface of the water tanks is connected to a conveying pipe, a conveying device is installed inside the water tank, the conveying pipe passes downward through the annular shell and the top plate, and the lower end of the conveying pipe is close to the inner side of the transparent plate.

[0010] In one example, four through-slots are provided between the upper surface and the side of the base, and the openings above the slots are located inside the transparent plate. Four water baffles are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base. The water baffles are C-shaped and their sides abut against the transparent plate.

[0011] In one example, a baffle plate is fixedly connected to the inner side of the water baffle, and the baffle plate is provided with multiple through holes.

[0012] In one example, the lower surface of the base is fixedly connected to a support, and the upper surface of the support is provided with an annular collection groove.

[0013] The animal breeding and observation box proposed in this utility model can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0014] Firstly, by setting up elastic scrapers, the lifting components inside the transparent panel at the corresponding position lower the sliding plate. During the descent of the sliding plate, the inner elastic scrapers scrape the dirt on the inside of the transparent panel downwards, preventing the dirt from obstructing the staff's observation of the cubs. At the same time, the staff does not need to open the transparent panel for cleaning, which will not interfere with the cubs' daily life and prevent the cubs from being frightened.

[0015] Secondly, by setting up a chute and a baffle plate, with the length of the baffle plate being the same as the width of the transparent plate, when the water in the tank flows down along the transparent plate, the water and stains are scraped downwards by the elastic scraper. The water and stains flow down into the chute and out through the chute to the inside of the transparent plate, making it convenient for staff to clean the stains from the outside and preventing stains from remaining in the space inside the transparent plate, which would affect the hygiene inside. The baffle plate blocks water and stains, preventing water and stains from flowing into the space inside the transparent plate. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To more clearly illustrate the overall concept of this utility model, a detailed description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides an animal breeding and observation box, including a base 1, four support columns 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, a transparent plate 6 fixedly connected between two adjacent support columns 2, a top plate 3 fixedly connected to the upper end of the support columns 2, a ventilation and lighting device 4 on the top plate 3, and cleaning components 5 on the inner side of the transparent plate 6 on the top plate 3. Animal cubs are placed on the base 1, and then the transparent plate 6 is fixedly installed. Staff can directly observe the activities of the cubs inside through the transparent plate 6. When the inner side of the transparent plate 6 is touched by the cubs and becomes dirty during the cubs' daily activities, the lifting component 7 on the inner side of the transparent plate 6 at the corresponding position lowers the sliding plate 51. During the descent of the sliding plate 51, the dirt on the inner side of the transparent plate 6 is scraped downward by the elastic scraper 52 on the inner side, preventing the dirt from obstructing the staff's observation of the cubs. At the same time, the staff does not need to open the transparent plate 6 for cleaning, and it will not interfere with the daily life of the cubs or frighten them.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning component 5 includes a sliding plate 51, which is slidably connected to two adjacent support columns 2. Each of the two adjacent support columns 2 has a square groove on its inner side within the transparent plate 6. Both ends of the sliding plate 51 are located within the square groove. A square through-groove is provided on the top plate 3 to cooperate with the sliding plate 51. An elastic scraper 52 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding plate 51 and rests against the inner side of the transparent plate 6. A lifting component 7 is provided on the upper surface of the top plate 3. The lifting component 7 includes two support plates 71, which are fixedly connected to the top plate 3. A winding wheel 72 is rotatably connected between the support plates 71. A servo motor 73 is fixedly connected to one side of one of the support plates 71. The main shaft of the servo motor 73 is fixedly connected to the winding wheel 72. A traction rope 74 is fixedly connected between the sliding plates 51, and an elastic rope 75 is fixedly connected between the sliding plates 51 and the base 1. The elastic rope 75 is located in the square groove. When cleaning is not required, the sliding plates 51 are located above the transparent plate 6, which will not significantly obstruct the view of the staff. At this time, the elastic rope 75 is stretched and in a stored state. The elastic rope 75 is a high elastic modulus rubber rope, which can still maintain its elasticity after being stretched and deformed for a long time. When it is necessary to clean the transparent plate 6, the servo motor 73 is started, the winding wheel 72 rotates and releases the traction rope 74. Under the pull of the elastic rope 75, the sliding plates 51 descend to clean the inside of the transparent plate 6. The elastic rope 75 is located in the square groove and is shielded by the support column 2 to avoid being chewed by the pups and damaged.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, an annular housing 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the top plate 3. The annular housing 8 covers the winding wheel 72. Four water tanks 9 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the annular housing 8. The bottom surface of the water tanks 9 is connected to the conveying pipe 10. A conveying device is installed inside the water tanks 9. The conveying pipe 10 passes through the annular housing 8 and the top plate 3. The lower end of the conveying pipe 10 is close to the inner side of the transparent plate 6. When cleaning the transparent plate 6, the sliding plate 51 descends and is cleaned by the elastic scraper 52. At the same time, the conveying device in the water tank 9 at the corresponding position is activated to convey water into the conveying pipe 10. The water flows out from the conveying pipe 10 and flows down along the transparent plate 6, wetting the stains on the inner side of the transparent plate 6 and improving the cleaning effect of the elastic scraper 52 on the transparent plate 6.

[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, four through-sloping grooves 11 are provided between the upper surface and the side of the base 1. The opening above the sloping grooves 11 is located inside the transparent plate 6. Four baffles 12 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1. The baffles 12 are C-shaped, and the two sides of the baffles 12 abut against the transparent plate 6. The length of the baffles 12 is the same as the width of the transparent plate 6. When the water in the water tank 9 flows down the transparent plate 6, the water and stains are scraped downwards by the elastic scraper 52. The water and stains flow down into the sloping grooves 11 and flow out through the sloping grooves 11 to the inside of the transparent plate 6, which makes it convenient for staff to clean the stains from the outside and prevents the stains from remaining in the space inside the transparent plate 6, affecting the internal hygiene. The baffles 12 block the water and stains and prevent the water and stains from flowing into the space inside the transparent plate 6.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the inner side of the baffle plate 12 is fixedly connected to the shield plate 13. The shield plate 13 is provided with multiple through holes, through which water and dirt can flow out normally. The shield plate 13 mainly prevents the cubs from pushing larger objects into the inclined groove 11, which would cause the inclined groove 11 to be blocked.

[0029] like Figure 4 and Figure 2 As shown, the lower surface of the base 1 is fixedly connected to the support base 14, and the upper surface of the support base 14 is provided with an annular collection groove 15. After water and dirt enter the inclined groove 11, they flow to the annular collection groove 15, which is convenient for staff to handle in a centralized manner. When it is not necessary to clean the transparent plate 6, rubber plugs or other items can be used to block the outlet of the inclined groove 11 on the side of the base 1 to prevent mosquitoes from entering.

[0030] Working principle: When cleaning is not required, the sliding plate 51 is located above the transparent plate 6. At this time, the elastic rope 75 is stretched and in a stored state. The servo motor 73 is started, and the winding wheel 72 rotates to release the traction rope 74. Under the pull of the elastic rope 75, the sliding plate 51 descends to clean the inside of the transparent plate 6. At the same time, the conveying equipment in the water tank 9 is started to deliver water into the conveying pipe 10. The water flows out from the conveying pipe 10 and flows down along the transparent plate 6. The elastic scraper 52 scrapes the water and dirt downwards. The water and dirt flow down into the inclined chute 11 and flow out of the inside of the transparent plate 6 through the inclined chute 11, flowing towards the annular collection tank 15.
