Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rodent specimen preparation technology, and in particular to a drying device for mass production of rodent specimens. Background Technology
[0002] Rodent specimens are important resources for biological research and museum collections, widely used in taxonomy, ecology, and evolutionary studies. Through meticulously prepared specimens, researchers can observe morphological characteristics, analyze differences between species, and track the impact of environmental changes. Specimens are typically stored in laboratories or museums and undergo preservation treatments to ensure long-term preservation.
[0003] When preparing rodent specimens, the muscles and internal organs must first be removed, while the bones or other necessary parts are preserved. Then, the skin and bones are treated with preservatives to prevent decay. Depending on the actual needs, it may be necessary to use filling materials for support to maintain the natural shape. Finally, the specimens are dried at low temperature using drying equipment. However, during the drying process, rodent specimens need to be fixed and limited by clamps. If the operator does not operate properly, the hands, feet, and other parts may be clamped too tightly, resulting in damage. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that clamping fixtures can easily damage the edges of rodent specimens during specimen preparation.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a drying device for mass production of rodent specimens, including a drying rack, the drying rack being configured as a square frame-shaped plate frame, two horizontal connecting strips being slidably connected to the inner side of the drying rack, a buffer flexible strip being fastened to the top of the connecting strips, wing plates being fixedly provided on both sides of the connecting strips, and multiple evenly arranged slots being opened through the wing plates, and two limiting blocks being fastened to the wing plates through the slots.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the limiting block is set as a rectangular block with the same width as the connecting strip, and plug-in posts that are fixedly inserted into the slots are fixed at the four corners.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a slot is provided through the center of the connecting strip, and a plug block is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the buffer strip to be inserted into the slot.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, guide sliders are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting bar, and the drying rack is provided with guide grooves that match the guide sliders.
[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, displacement rings are fixedly provided at both ends of the connecting bar.
[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, the drying rack is fixedly provided with mounting guide blocks on both sides that are slidably connected to the inner chamber of the dryer.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention slides the connecting strips between the drying racks inward to match the specimen positioning width. Then, after the rodent specimen is laid flat and stretched, its edge is positioned on top of the cushioning strip. A fixing limiting block is inserted into the slot of the wing plate, allowing the limiting block and the cushioning strip to clamp the specimen edge, providing a limiting effect. Simultaneously, because the cushioning strip is made of flexible material and a flexible buffer sheet is adhered to the bottom of the limiting block, excessive clamping can be avoided, preventing damage to the rodent specimen edge and affecting specimen preparation.

[0017] The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom mentioned or possibly mentioned in this specification are defined relative to their structure and are relative concepts. Therefore, they may vary depending on their location and usage; thus, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive terms.
[0018] The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in this specification are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used herein refers to and includes one or more of the associated listed items, any or all possible combinations thereof.
[0019] To make the technical problems to be solved, the technical solutions, and the beneficial effects of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0020] This utility model provides a drying device for mass production of rodent specimens, including a drying rack 1;
[0021] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the drying rack 1 is used in conjunction with a drawer-type drying oven for drying operations; guide blocks 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the drying rack 1 to provide displacement guidance when the drying rack 1 is placed horizontally into the drying oven.
[0022] As attached Figure 1-4 As shown, the drying rack 1 is a square-shaped plate frame. Two horizontally placed connecting bars 2 are slidably connected to the inner side of the drying rack 1. Guide sliders 9 are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting bars 2. The drying rack 1 has guide grooves that match the guide sliders 9, providing displacement guidance when the connecting bars 2 move inward. Displacement rings 10 are fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting bars 2, facilitating inward movement of the connecting bars 2. A buffer flexible strip 3 is securely inserted above the connecting bars 2. The top of the buffer flexible strip 3 is made of sponge material, and a slot 7 is cut through the center of the connecting bars 2. A plug block 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the buffer flexible strip 3, interlocking with the slot 7. The slot 7 and plug block 8 ensure that the buffer flexible strip 3 is positioned above the connecting bars 2. Wing plates 4 are fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting bars 2, and multiple evenly arranged slots are cut through the wing plates 4. Two limiting blocks 5 are securely inserted into the wing plates 4 through the slots.
[0023] As attached Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the limiting block 5 is a rectangular block with the same width as the connecting strip 2, and a sponge buffer sheet of the same material as the buffer strip 3 is embedded in the bottom end of the limiting block 5. Insertion posts 6 that are fastened to the slots are fixedly installed at the four corners of the limiting block 5 to ensure a tight connection between the limiting block 5 and the connecting strip 2.
[0024] Working Principle: In practical implementation, firstly, based on the width of both sides of the rodent specimen, the displacement rings 10 at both ends of the connecting rod 2 are pushed inward. Under the guidance of the guide slider 9 and the guide groove, the two connecting rods 2 are brought closer together inward, connecting the insert block 8 at the bottom of the buffer strip 3 with the slot 7. Then, the corner sides of both ends of the rodent specimen are laid on top of the buffer strip 3. The insertion post 6 is inserted into the slot on the wing plate 4 on the corresponding side of the specimen, so that both ends of the rodent specimen are restricted between the bottom of the limiting block 5 and the top of the buffer strip 3. Finally, the drying rack 1 is slid into the drawer-type drying oven through the placement guide blocks 11 on both sides for specimen drying.
