Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of observation cages, specifically an observation cage. Background Technology

[0002] In current medicine, the study of life phenomena in animals usually involves observing mice, and this is then extended to humans to explore the mysteries of human life. When conducting experiments on animals, observation cages are typically used as containers for the animals.

[0003] However, since the animals are placed back inside their cages after the experiments, directly mixing them with other animals after the experiments can easily lead to infection of the experimental subjects. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an observation cage that solves the problems mentioned in the background.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an observation cage, including an upper cover and a storage cage. A triangular groove is provided in the lower middle part of the upper cover. The side surface of the triangular groove is provided with an array of feeding holes. The lower surface of the triangular groove is provided with an upper through hole. A middle partition is provided inside the upper through hole. A mesh support frame is provided inside the storage cage. The two ends of the mesh support frame are provided with through holes on the side surface of the storage cage. An animal placement baffle is provided inside the through hole. A rotating shaft connects the animal placement baffle to the storage cage. A limit baffle is installed on the lower outer side of the through hole on the side surface of the storage cage.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model: a buckle is installed on the outer end of the lower surface of the upper cover, and an excrement collection tray is provided below the mesh support frame inside the storage cage.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a water bottle is provided inside the discharge hole.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the animal placement baffle is rotatably connected to the storage cage via the rotating shaft, and the limiting baffle is fixedly connected to the storage cage.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the mesh support frame is fixedly connected to the storage cage, and the material discharge hole is configured to pass through the triangular groove.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: the upper cover is snapped into the storage cage by the buckle, and the excrement storage tray is movably connected to the storage cage.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: the middle partition is movably connected to the upper through hole, and the upper cover and the storage cage are both transparent plastic components.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] By inserting the central partition into the storage cage from the limiting baffle, the inside of the storage cage is divided into two sections. Then, the experimental mice are placed into the storage cage through a through hole at the end away from the farmed mice. Since the storage cage and the upper cover are made of transparent plastic, the experimental mice and farmed mice inside can be separated for comparative observation, preventing any impact on the experimental mice.

[0014] The animal placement baffle inside the through hole can rotate freely with the storage cage via a pivot. Meanwhile, the limiting baffle installed on the outside of the storage cage can prevent the animal placement baffle from rotating outwards, thus preventing the white mice inside from escaping from the storage cage.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides an observation cage, including an upper cover 1 and a storage cage 2. A triangular groove 5 is provided in the lower center of the upper cover 1. Discharge holes 6 are arrayed on the side surface of the triangular groove 5, communicating with the triangular groove 5. An upper through hole 101 is provided on the lower surface of the triangular groove 5. A central partition 8 is movably connected to the upper through hole 101. Both the upper cover 1 and the storage cage 2 are made of transparent plastic. A central partition 8 is provided inside the upper through hole 101, and a mesh plate is provided inside the storage cage 2. The support frame 201 is fixedly connected to the storage cage 2. The two ends of the support frame 201 are provided with through holes 203 on the side surface of the storage cage 2. Animal placement baffles 3 are provided inside the through holes 203. A rotating shaft 301 is connected between the animal placement baffles 3 and the storage cage 2. The animal placement baffles 3 are rotatably connected to the storage cage 2 through the rotating shaft 301. A limiting baffle 202 is installed on the lower outer side of the through holes 203 on the side surface of the storage cage 2. The limiting baffle 202 is fixedly connected to the storage cage 2.

[0023] like Figure 2-5 As shown, in this embodiment, a buckle 102 is installed on the outer end of the lower surface of the upper cover 1. The upper cover 1 is snapped into the storage cage 2 by the buckle 102. The excrement storage tray 4 is movably connected to the storage cage 2. The excrement storage tray 4 is provided inside the storage cage 2 below the mesh support frame 201. A water bottle 7 is provided inside the discharge hole 6.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, the mice to be observed are placed on the mesh support frame 201 inside the storage cage 2. After the upper cover 1 is placed over the upper surface of the storage cage 2, the feed storage mechanism and water bottle 7 are inserted into the storage cage 2 through the feed outlet 6 in the triangular groove 5 to feed the mice. After the mice are removed for the experiment, the remaining mice are driven to the same side inside the storage cage 2. Then, the middle partition 8 is inserted from the limiting baffle 202 into the storage cage. Inside cage 2, the interior is divided into two sections. Experimental mice are placed into the storage cage 2 through a through-hole 203 at the end furthest from the breeding mice. The animal placement baffle 3 inside the through-hole 203 can rotate freely with the storage cage 2 via a pivot 301. At the same time, a limiting baffle 202 installed on the outside of the storage cage 2 can prevent the animal placement baffle 3 from rotating outwards, thus preventing the mice inside from escaping. The storage cage 2 and the upper cover 1 are made of transparent plastic. Experimental mice are then compared with other mice for observation.
