[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0024] Example: Reference Figures 1-5 The device shown is a semen collection device for musk deer breeding, including a heat insulation sleeve 1, a test tube 4, a negative pressure tube, a rigid tube, and a funnel 2. The funnel 2 is connected to the rigid tube. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the installation method of the heat insulation sleeve 1, the negative pressure tube, the rigid tube, and the funnel 2 can refer to the technical content of the musk deer semen collection device disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN219835710U in the prior art, which will not be repeated here. The bottom of the heat insulation sleeve 1 is provided with a circular groove, and the inner wall of the top of the circular groove is provided with two connecting holes. The negative pressure tube and the rigid tube are slidably installed in the two connecting holes respectively. A circular lifting seat 11 is provided in the circular groove through a lifting mechanism. The test tube 4 is installed on the top of the circular lifting seat 11. The top of the test tube 4 is provided with a tube cap 16. The tube cap 16 is provided with a sealing mechanism adapted to the negative pressure tube and the rigid tube respectively.

[0025] The lifting mechanism includes a base plate 3. Two square rods 5 are fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 3. Both square rods 5 are connected to the insulation sleeve 1 through a snap-fit ​​assembly. A threaded hole is opened on the top of the base plate 3. A screw 13 is threadedly installed in the threaded hole. The top end of the screw 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the circular lifting seat 11. An installation groove is opened on the top end of the circular lifting seat 11. The test tube 4 is set in the installation groove through a friction assembly.

[0026] The sealing mechanism includes a triangular sealing plate 19, a limiting component is provided on the outer periphery of the pipe cover 16, a rectangular cavity is provided inside the pipe cover 16, the triangular sealing plate 19 is slidably installed in the rectangular cavity by the extrusion component, and through holes are provided on the top inner wall and bottom inner wall of the rectangular cavity, and the through holes are compatible with both the negative pressure pipe and the rigid pipe.

[0027] With the above structure, when installing test tube 4, first release the locking component from limiting the square rod 5, then pull the base plate 3 to move the two square rods 5 downwards to a suitable position, then place test tube 4 in the installation groove through the friction component, so that the limiting component can limit the tube cap 16, so that the through hole at its top is aligned with the connection hole, release the locking component from the square rod 5, so that the base plate 3 is reset, and moves test tube 4 into the circular groove, then rotate screw 13 to move the circular lifting seat 11 and test tube 4 upwards, so that the negative pressure tube and hard tube squeeze the two triangular sealing plates 19 back to back and insert them into the test tube 4, thereby realizing the function of collecting semen. After the collection is completed, the test tube 4 is moved downward by the circular lifting seat 11. At this time, the pressure on the triangular sealing plate 19 is released, so that it is reset under the action of the pressing component and the sealing function is achieved without the need for manual operation by the staff. Then the above operation is repeated to remove the test tube 4 and put it into the heat preservation box. The heat preservation box is existing technology and is not shown in the figure. Then the new test tube 4 is installed.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the snap-fit ​​assembly includes a pin block 7. A pin groove is provided on the side of the square rod 5. The pin block 7 is slidably installed in the pin groove through an elastic unit. A square groove adapted to the square rod 5 is provided at the bottom of the insulation sleeve 1. The square rod 5 is slidably installed in the square groove. A return spring 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the square rod 5. The other end of the return spring 6 is fixedly installed on the top inner wall of the square groove. Two pin holes 8 are provided on the side inner wall of the square groove. Both pin holes 8 are adapted to the pin block 7. By pressing the pin block 7, it moves into the pin groove, which can release its restriction with the pin hole 8, making it easy to slide the square rod 5. And through the setting of the return spring 6, the pin block 7 can automatically align with the pin hole 8. The elastic unit includes a snap-fit ​​spring 10. A guide hole is provided on the side of the pin block 7. A guide shaft 9 is fixedly installed on the side of the pin groove. The other end of the guide shaft 9 is slidably installed in the guide hole. The snap-fit ​​spring 10 is sleeved on the peripheral outer wall of the guide shaft 9.

[0029] Specifically, when it is necessary to pull the base plate 3, first press the two pin blocks 7 in opposite directions to release them from the limit of the two pin holes 8, so that it is easy to pull the base plate 3. When the base plate 3 is pulled to the appropriate position, the pin blocks 7 are aligned with the other two pin holes 8. At this time, through the elastic action of the return spring 6, the pin blocks 7 can be driven to achieve the reset function, thereby achieving the limit of the base plate 3.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a knob 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the screw 13. A round hole is opened at the top of the base plate 3. A limit shaft 15 is installed in the round hole. The top end of the limit shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the circular lifting seat 11. The friction assembly includes a silicone friction washer 12. By setting the silicone friction washer 12, the circular lifting seat 11 can drive the test tube 4 to move synchronously through its friction during the lifting movement, which is convenient for installing or removing it. The outer peripheral wall of the silicone friction washer 12 is fixedly connected to the inner peripheral wall of the mounting groove, and the inner peripheral wall of the silicone friction washer 12 is firmly attached to the outer peripheral wall of the test tube 4.

[0031] Specifically, rotating the knob 14 drives the screw 13 to rotate, thereby driving the screw 13 and the circular lifting seat 11 to achieve lifting and lowering movement through the thread action. At this time, under the action of the limit shaft 15, the circular lifting seat 11 can be prevented from rotating.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the limiting component includes two arc-shaped limiting blocks 17, both of which are disposed on the outer periphery of the tube cap 16. Two limiting grooves 18 are opened on the inner periphery of the circular groove. The two arc-shaped limiting blocks 17 are respectively adapted to the two limiting grooves 18. Through the connection between the arc-shaped limiting blocks 17 and the limiting grooves 18, the tube cap 16 can be limited, so that the through hole at its top is aligned with the connection hole at the top of the circular groove, thereby allowing the negative pressure tube and the rigid tube to be aligned with the two through holes and inserted into the test tube 4.

[0033] Specifically, when the tube cap 16 moves into the circular groove, the connection between the two arc-shaped limiting blocks 17 and the two limiting grooves 18 can limit the tube cap 16, so that the through hole is aligned with the negative pressure tube and the rigid tube, making it easier for it to be inserted into the test tube 4.

[0034] like Figure 5 As shown, the extrusion assembly includes a limiting rod 20, and a limiting hole is opened on the side of the triangular sealing plate 19. One end of the limiting rod 20 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the side of the rectangular cavity, and the other end of the limiting rod 20 is slidably installed in the limiting hole. A compression spring 21 is sleeved on the outer wall of the periphery of the limiting rod 20. When the negative pressure tube and the hard tube come into contact with the triangular sealing plate 19, they are squeezed, causing the two triangular sealing plates 19 to slide in opposite directions, thereby smoothly inserting into the test tube 4.

[0035] Specifically, when the tube cap 16 moves upward, the negative pressure tube and the hard tube are inserted into the through hole and come into contact with the triangular sealing plate 19. At this time, through the squeezing action, the two triangular sealing plates 19 can move in opposite directions, so that the negative pressure tube and the hard tube enter the test tube 4. When the squeezing of the triangular sealing plate 19 is released, the elastic action of the compression spring 21 can drive the triangular sealing plate 19 to achieve the reset function.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
