[0026] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0027] See attached document Figs. 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment of the multifunctional animal health examination device is used for health examinations of captive wild golden monkeys. Specifically, it includes a box 1 with an open top and a horizontal partition 2 inside the box 1, which divides the interior of the box into an upper cavity 11 and a lower cavity 12. The upper cavity 11 is used to house a weighing scale 3, and the lower cavity 12 is used to house animal food. A perforated mesh door 4 is provided on the rear side of the box 1 corresponding to the lower cavity 12 for the animal to access the food, allowing the golden monkey to easily reach its arm through the hole to retrieve the food.

[0028] In this embodiment, the upper cavity 11 also includes a cover plate 5 placed on top of the weighing scale 3, serving as a load-bearing platform. The edges of the cover plate 5 are close to the edge of the top opening of the housing 1, but do not affect the detection of the weighing scale 3. This ensures a small gap between the cover plate 5 and the top opening of the housing, preventing the golden monkey from moving the cover plate 5 and the weighing scale 3 through the gap and causing damage to the equipment. When the golden monkey is on the cover plate 5, its weight can be detected by the weighing scale 3.

[0029] The upper surface of the cover plate 5 is provided with a plurality of recesses 51, and a heart rate collector is embedded in each recess 51, and the collection probe of the heart rate collector is exposed on the upper surface of the cover plate 5, which is used for detecting the heart rate of the golden monkey. The arrangement of multiple heart rate collectors can relax the requirement for the positioning position of the golden monkey, reduce the difficulty of positioning training, and achieve the purpose of accurately collecting the heart rate of the golden monkey.

[0030] More preferably, the upper cavity 11 further comprises a base plate 6 for placing at the bottom of the body weight scale 3, which is used for supporting the body weight scale 3, so that the top end of the body weight scale 3 is close to the top opening of the box body 1. The base plate 6 can be a flat plate of different thickness specifications or include multiple flat plates to adapt to the use of body weight scales of different specifications and relax the requirement for the body weight scale.

[0031] In order to facilitate the taking and placing of the body weight scale, the front side of the box body 1 corresponding to the upper cavity 11 is provided with an opening and closing door body 7, which is separately arranged on the front and rear sides of the box body 1 with the hole grid door 4, so as to avoid the damage to the body weight scale when the animal feeds.

[0032] In the embodiment, the lower cavity 12 is internally provided with a plurality of horizontally arranged feeding partitions 8, such as three, so that the lower cavity is divided into a plurality of feeding areas, which facilitates the replenishment of animal food.

[0033] The side wall of the box body corresponding to the hole grid door 4 can also be provided with a grid side wall 9, so that the inside of the box body 1 is transparent and bright, and the vigilance of the animal is reduced.

[0034] In the embodiment, the hole grid door 4, the opening and closing door body 7 and the grid side wall 9 are all made of embossed iron mesh structure with the same material as the existing golden monkey cage, so as to reduce the vigilance of the golden monkey.

[0035] In addition, the bottom of the box body 1 is provided with universal wheels 10 in the embodiment, which facilitates the movement of the box body, such as the circulation of the box body between different positions in the same animal house or multiple animal houses, which greatly reduces the equipment investment cost.

[0036] In order to improve the stability of the box, the embodiment further comprises a fixing mechanism for fixing the box 1. Specifically, the fixing mechanism comprises at least two fixing rods 13 and at least one fixing strip 14. The fixing rod 13 is a threaded rod with a threaded end 131. Two fixing rods 13 are arranged on the two sides of the box 1, and the threaded end of the fixing rod 13 extends from the side away from the hole grid door 4. The fixing strip 14 is provided with two through holes 141 corresponding to the threaded ends of the two fixing rods 13. In use, the threaded end of the fixing rod 13 is inserted through the side wall of the animal cage, and the fixing strip 14 is sleeved on the threaded end of the fixing rod 13 from the outside of the animal cage, and the box 1 is fixed by the nut 15.

[0037] The embodiment comprises two sets of fixing mechanisms, which further ensure the stability of the box.

[0038] The height of the box 1 in the embodiment is 1.5-2.0m, which is convenient for moving and operator operation, and makes it convenient for the operator to interact with the animal when the animal is squatting on the cover plate 2.

[0039] The physical examination device of the embodiment gradually adapts to the desensitization of the golden monkey to the device in the process of exploring food, reduces the vigilance, facilitates the physiological data collection of the golden monkey, and can also feed the golden monkey, and enriches the living conditions of the golden monkey.

[0040] The animal physical examination device can integrate the basic physiological data collection of the animal, the feeding device, and the behavior training platform, and can also consider the animal living comfort and the convenience of personnel operation. Before collecting the physiological basic data, the device can be placed as a feeding maze in the animal house or the playground to meet the exploration desire of the animal. At this time, the feeder can also intermittently guide the animal, and gradually prolong the staying time of the animal on the bearing platform. When data collection is needed, the collection equipment can be placed in the corresponding position and debugged. For the animal, the equipment has no other changes, and no additional desensitization training is needed, and the physical examination index detection can be quickly completed.

[0041] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the utility model in any form. Those skilled in the art can make some simple modifications, equivalent changes or modifications by using the disclosed technical content, which falls within the protection scope of the utility model.
