[0019] Example: A biosafety isolation chamber, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a cabin 1, a fixed cover plate 2, a rotating cover plate 21, a hand-tightening screw 22, and a sealing strip 23. The cabin 1 is a square shell with an open top. The fixed cover plate 2 is fixed to the top right side of the cabin 1 by bolts. The rotating cover plate 21 is rotatably connected to the top left side of the fixed cover plate 2 by a hinge. The side of the rotating cover plate 21 away from the fixed cover plate 2 is threaded with a hand-tightening screw 22. The hand-tightening screw 22 can also be screwed into the top left side of the cabin 1 to lock the rotating cover plate 21. The sealing strip 23 is detachably snapped onto the top left side of the cabin 1. After a long period of use, the sealing strip 23 can be removed and replaced. The device also includes a feeding component and a purification component. The feeding component for feeding small animals is provided on both the cabin 1 and the fixed cover plate 2. The purification component for purifying the internal air of the cabin 1 is provided on both the feeding component and the fixed cover plate 2.
[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the feeding assembly includes a feeding hopper 31, a sealing cover 32, and a feeding trough 33. The feeding hopper 31 is fixedly welded through the rear side of the fixed cover plate 2. The sealing cover 32 is rotatably connected to the rear top of the feeding hopper 31. The feeding trough 33 is fixed to the inner right side of the bottom panel of the cabin 1 by bolts.
[0021] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the purification assembly includes a mounting frame 41, a fixing seat 42, a hand-tightening screw 43, a sealing plate 44, a protrusion 45, a valve pipe 46, an air pump 47, an exhaust pipe 48, a filter a 49, an extraction pipe 410, an intake pipe 411, a connecting block 412, an axial flow fan 413, and a filter b 414. The mounting frame 41 is welded and fixed to the upper front side of the feeding hopper 31. The sealing plate 44 is slidably disposed in the mounting frame 41, penetrating the feeding hopper 31 and inserting into its interior. The fixing seat 42 is welded and fixed to the top right side of the mounting frame 41, and a hand-tightening screw 43 is rotatably connected to the fixing seat 42. A protrusion 45 is welded and fixed to the top rear side of the sealing plate 44, and the hand-tightening screw 43 penetrates the protrusion 45 and engages with its thread. A valve pipe 46 is connected to the upper front side of the feeding hopper 31. An air pump 47 is bolted to the top left side of the fixed cover plate 2, and the air pump 47 is connected to the rear side of the fixed cover plate 2. An exhaust pipe 48 is connected, and a filter a49 is threadedly connected to the end of the exhaust pipe 48. An air extraction pipe 410 is connected to the top of the air pump 47. The end of the air extraction pipe 410 passes through the feeding hopper 31 and extends into its interior. Multiple air inlet pipes 411 are connected to the left side of the chamber 1. A connecting block 412 is connected to the upper end of the air inlet pipes 411. An axial flow fan 413 is connected to the top of the connecting block 412. A filter b414 is threadedly connected to the top of the axial flow fan 413. The filter b414 is used to prevent air containing germs in the chamber 1 from overflowing from the axial flow fan 413. The filter b414, axial flow fan 413, connecting block 412, air inlet pipe 411 and chamber are connected in sequence. Both filter a49 and filter b414 have built-in HEPA filters for filtering germs. After a long period of use, filter a49 or filter b414 can be unscrewed and cleaned or replaced.
[0022] First, the staff unscrews the hand-tightening screw 22 from the top left side of the chamber 1, then flips the rotating cover 21 upwards to open it, carefully placing the sick animal into the chamber 1. Next, the hand-tightening screw 22 is reset, pressing the rotating cover 21 firmly against the sealing strip 23 to seal the top opening of the chamber 1. Then, the staff starts the air pump 47, which is connected to the feeding hopper 31 via the suction pipe 410, drawing air out of the chamber 1 and passing it through the exhaust pipe 48 into the filter a49 for purification before exhausting it. Simultaneously, the staff starts the axial flow fan 413. Under the suction of the axial flow fan 413, outside air is injected into the chamber 1 through the filter b414, the axial flow fan 413, the connecting block 412, and the air inlet pipe 411, ensuring a constant flow of fresh air within the chamber 1. When feeding the animal, the staff first turns the hand-tightening screw 43. 43, through cooperation with protrusion 45, pushes sealing plate 44 into feeding hopper 31, sealing the upper part of feeding hopper 31. Then, valve pipe 46 is opened. Since air pump 47 is always working, the upper space of feeding hopper 31 is under negative pressure. Outside air is injected into the upper space of feeding hopper 31 through valve pipe 46 to replace the air there. Air carrying germs is injected into the filter by air pump 47 for purification. Air pump 47 is turned off, and sealing cover 32 is opened to add food for small animals into feeding hopper 31. After adding food, sealing cover 32 is reset, valve pipe 46 is closed, and hand screw 43 is turned to move sealing plate 44 forward to reset, releasing the seal on feeding hopper 31. At this time, the food in feeding hopper 31 will fall into feeding trough 33. During the entire feeding process, the staff will not come into contact with germ-laden air in cabin 1, thus greatly ensuring the safety of the staff.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes guide rods 51, push plates 52, L-shaped mounting plates 53, lead screws 54, and servo motors 55. Two guide rods 51 are welded and fixed between the left and right panels of the cabin 1 at intervals. Push plates 52 are slidably connected between the two guide rods 51. An L-shaped mounting plate 53 is welded and fixed to the inner wall of the left panel of the cabin 1. A lead screw 54 is rotatably connected between the right side of the L-shaped mounting plate 53 and the right panel of the cabin 1. A servo motor 55 is installed on the L-shaped mounting plate 53 by bolts. The output shaft end of the servo motor 55 is fixedly connected to the left end of the lead screw 54.
[0024] Before adding food to the feeding trough 31, the operator can start the servo motor 55, which drives the lead screw 54 to rotate, thereby pushing the push plate 52 to the left to push the small animal away from the feeding trough 33, so as to prevent the small animal from blocking the lower opening of the feeding trough 31.
[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes an inclined plate 6, which is snapped and fixed inside the feeding trough 33.
[0026] After the food falls out from the lower opening of the feeding hopper 31, it slides along the inclined plate 6 from the back to the front of the feeding trough 33, thus distributing it evenly in the feeding trough 33 and further preventing the feeding hopper 31 from getting clogged.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes an observation window 7, which is embedded and fixedly connected to the front side panel of the cabin 1.
[0028] By setting up observation window 7, staff can easily observe the small animals in real time.
