Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal experimental equipment technology, and in particular to a device for collecting metabolites of laboratory animals. Background Technology

[0002] Animal experiments, also known as animal model experiments, are a widely used experimental method in scientific research. They use animals as experimental subjects to simulate human diseases or physiological processes, thereby gaining a deeper understanding of the nature of life, the mechanisms of diseases, and the effects of drugs or treatments. This experimental method plays a vital role in the fields of medicine, biology, and pharmacy.

[0003] In biomedical research and drug development, the accurate collection and analysis of metabolites from laboratory animals is a key step in understanding animal physiology, disease progression mechanisms, and evaluating drug efficacy. Traditional collection devices cannot separate urine from feces, which is not conducive to subsequent research. Utility Model Content

[0010] In addition, a preferred structure is that the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the metabolite collection frame are respectively provided with a second groove and a third groove.

[0011] In addition, a preferred structure is that a second sliding bar is provided on both sides of the manure collection frame, and the second sliding bar slides within the second sliding groove.

[0012] In addition, a preferred structure is that a third slide bar is provided on both sides of the urine collection frame, and the third slide bar slides through the third slide groove and the guide rail.

[0013] Furthermore, in a preferred configuration, the manure collection frame has several second square holes, and the diameter of the second square holes is smaller than that of the first square holes.

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

[0015] In this invention, animal metabolites enter the feces collection frame through the first square hole, while feces remain in the feces collection frame. Urine enters the urine collection frame through the second square hole, thus separating and collecting feces and urine, which is beneficial for subsequent research. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figure 1-6 A device for collecting metabolites of laboratory animals includes a support platform 1, an animal cage 2 fixedly installed on the top of the support platform 1 by screws, a support plate 4 fixedly installed inside the support platform 1, and a plurality of first square holes 41 opened on the support plate 4.

[0025] The support platform 1 has a metabolite collection frame 3 that is slidably inserted inside, a feces collection frame 5 that is slidably inserted inside, a funnel 7 that is fixedly installed on the support platform 1, guide rails 8 that are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the funnel 7, and the funnel 7 is located below the feces collection frame 5. A urine collection frame 6 that is slidably inserted into the support platform 1 is located at the bottom of the funnel 7.

[0026] Meanwhile, first grooves 101 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the support platform 1.

[0027] Furthermore, the metabolite collection frame 3 is provided with first slide bars 31 on both sides. The first slide bars 31 slide within the first slide groove 101, which facilitates the stable pulling of the metabolite collection frame 3.

[0028] Meanwhile, the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the metabolite collection frame 3 are respectively provided with a second groove 32 and a third groove 33, which facilitates the sliding insertion of the feces collection frame 5 and the urine collection frame 6 into the metabolite collection frame 3 to collect animal metabolites.

[0029] Meanwhile, the manure collection frame 5 is provided with a second sliding bar 52 on both sides, and the second sliding bar 52 slides within the second sliding groove 32, which facilitates the stable pulling of the manure collection frame 5.

[0030] Meanwhile, a third slide bar 61 is provided on both sides of the urine collection frame 6. The third slide bar 61 slides through the third slide groove 33 and the guide rail 8, which facilitates the stable pulling of the urine collection frame 6.

[0031] Furthermore, the feces collection frame 5 is provided with several second square holes 51, and the diameter of the second square holes 51 is smaller than that of the first square holes 41, which facilitates the collection of feces and urine.

[0032] In this embodiment, by placing the experimental animal into the animal cage 2, the metabolites produced by the experimental animal fall into the feces collection frame 5 through the first square hole 41 on the support plate 4. Because the second square hole 51 has a smaller diameter, the feces will remain on the feces collection frame 5, while the urine will fall into the funnel 7 through the second square hole 51. The urine will flow into the urine collection frame 6 along the inner wall of the funnel 7.

[0033] When it is necessary to remove metabolites for research, simply pull the handle of the metabolite collection frame 3. The first slider 31 will slide in the first groove 101, and the metabolite collection frame 3 will be removed. Then, pull the handle of the feces collection frame 5. The second slider 52 will slide in the second groove 32, and the feces collection frame 5 will be removed. Feces will be sampled for research. Then, clean the feces collection frame 5. Pull the handle of the urine collection frame 6. The third slider 61 will slide in the third groove 33 and the guide rail 8, and the urine collection frame 6 will be removed. Urine will be sampled for research. Then, clean the urine collection frame 6.

[0034] In this invention, animal metabolites enter the feces collection frame 5 through the first square hole 41, while feces remain in the feces collection frame 5. Urine enters the urine collection frame 6 through the second square hole 51, thus separating and collecting feces and urine, which is beneficial for subsequent research.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
