[0002] Mouse cages are specialized equipment used in laboratories for the centralized placement and management of mouse cages. They are mainly used in animal facilities or research institutions for raising rodents (such as mice and rats). Mouse cages are fundamental equipment for the welfare of laboratory animals and the reliability of scientific research data, and should be selected appropriately according to experimental needs (such as barrier level and degree of automation).

[0003] However, the number of compartments in existing mouse cages is relatively fixed, making it inconvenient to adjust the number of compartments according to needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multi-layered mouse cage to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-layer mouse cage frame, including an adjustable shelf and a reinforcing assembly. Support rods are rotatably mounted on both sides of the adjustable shelf, and a connecting plate is installed in the middle section of the support rod. The reinforcing assembly for adjustable cage frame partitions is disposed on the side of the support rod, and the reinforcing assembly includes a clamping plate, a support sleeve rod, a support inner rod, and a fastening bolt. The support sleeve rod is installed on the side of the clamping plate, and a support inner rod is disposed inside the support sleeve rod. A fastening bolt is disposed on the outer side of the end of the support sleeve rod.

[0006] Furthermore, the support sleeve rod and the support inner rod are connected by a sleeve, and two support sleeve rods are symmetrically arranged about the vertical central axis of the support inner rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the lower end of the adjustment plate is provided with a bottom surface groove, and the adjustment plate and the bottom surface groove are an integrated structure.

[0008] Furthermore, a limit rod is installed inside the bottom groove, and two limit rods are provided.

[0009] Furthermore, a connecting block is slidably mounted on the outside of the limiting rod, and the surface of the connecting block is provided with mounting holes.

[0010] Furthermore, a mounting bracket is fixedly installed at the lower end of the connecting block, and a cage hook is fixedly installed at the lower end of the mounting bracket.

[0013] This invention provides a multi-layered mouse cage rack, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model allows for the adjustment of the shelf according to the user's needs. The user can adjust the number of shelves according to their own needs. As the adjustable shelf moves, the support rod rotates and bends along the connecting plate or remains vertical. When vertical, the outer fixed long plate prevents the support rod from bending outward. The inner support rod is stuck on the side of the connecting plate and is supported by the inner support rod and the support sleeve rod, thereby increasing the stability of the adjustable shelf.

[0015] 2. This utility model uses a bottom groove for the concealed installation of the limiting rod. The connecting block drives the cage hook to move outside the limiting rod, that is, the distance between the two symmetrically distributed cage hooks is adjusted so that they can be hooked to cages of different sizes. The two limiting rods make the connecting block and the mounting frame more stable when moving, and prevent the cage from falling due to tilting. The two symmetrically distributed cage hooks are used for hooking on both sides of the cage, which is easy to hang and take off, and the auxiliary ball bearings are smoother when the mounting frame moves.

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a multi-compartment mouse cage includes an adjustable shelf 1 and a reinforcing assembly 4. Support rods 2 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the adjustable shelf 1. The adjustable shelf 1 can be unfolded and adjusted according to user needs, allowing the user to adjust the number of compartments. A connecting plate 3 is installed in the middle of the support rods 2. As the adjustable shelf 1 moves, the support rods 2 can bend along the connecting plate 3 or remain vertical. When vertical, a fixed long plate on the outer side prevents the support rods 2 from bending outwards. The reinforcing assembly 4, for adjustable cage compartments, is located on the side of the support rods 2. The reinforcing assembly 4 includes a mounting plate 401, a support sleeve 402, an inner support rod 403, and fastening bolts 404. The support sleeve 402 is mounted on the side of the mounting plate 401, and the inner support rod 403 is located inside the support sleeve 402. The outer end of the support sleeve 402... A fastening bolt 404 is provided on the side. After the fastening bolt 404 is tightened, its end is pressed against the surface of the inner support rod 403 to limit its position. The support sleeve rod 402 and the inner support rod 403 are connected by a sleeve. The inner support rod 403 is stuck on the side of the connecting plate 3 and supports the support rod 2 under the inner support of the support sleeve rod 402 and the inner support rod 403, which increases the stability of the adjusting plate 1. Two support sleeve rods 402 are symmetrically arranged about the vertical central axis of the inner support rod 403. The lower end of the adjusting plate 1 is provided with a bottom surface groove 5, and the adjusting plate 1 and the bottom surface groove 5 are an integrated structure. The bottom surface groove 5 is used for the hidden installation of the limiting rod 6. The limiting rod 6 is installed inside the bottom surface groove 5, and there are two limiting rods 6. The two limiting rods 6 make the connecting block 7 and the mounting frame 9 more stable when moving, and prevent tilting that could cause the mouse cage to fall.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, a connecting block 7 is slidably installed on the outside of the limiting rod 6. The connecting block 7 drives the cage hook 10 to move outside the limiting rod 6, that is, the distance between the two symmetrically distributed cage hooks 10 is adjusted so that they can be hooked onto mouse cages of different sizes. The surface of the connecting block 7 is provided with mounting holes 8. The lower end of the connecting block 7 is fixedly installed with a mounting frame 9, and the lower end of the mounting frame 9 is fixedly installed with cage hooks 10. The two symmetrically distributed cage hooks 10 are used for hooking on both sides of the mouse cage, which is convenient for hooking and taking. The side surfaces at both ends of the mounting frame 9 are provided with auxiliary components 11 for assisting movement, and the number of auxiliary components 11 is set to two sets. The auxiliary components 11 include auxiliary grooves 1101 and auxiliary balls 1102. The auxiliary balls 1102 are installed inside the auxiliary grooves 1101, and the auxiliary balls 1102 slide more smoothly when the mounting frame 9 moves.

[0023] In summary, this multi-compartment mouse cage is first based on... Figures 1-3The structure shown in the diagram involves rotating the support rod 2 to a vertical position during use. At this point, the adjusting shelf 1 unfolds and moves upwards, allowing the user to adjust the number of shelves according to their needs. After verticalization, a long plate is fixed to the outer side to prevent the support rod 2 from bending outwards. Then, the support sleeve 402 is pulled outside the inner support rod 403 to the desired length. Finally, the fastening bolt 404 is tightened, causing its end to press against the surface of the inner support rod 403 for positioning. The inner support rod 403 then engages with the side of the connecting plate 3, supporting the support rod 2 and increasing adjustability. To ensure the stability of shelf 1, when installing the mouse cage, the connecting block 7 moves the cage hook 10 outside the limiting rod 6 according to the size of the mouse cage. This adjusts the distance between the two symmetrically distributed cage hooks 10 so that they can be hooked onto mouse cages of different sizes. During movement, the auxiliary ball bearing 1102 slides more smoothly when the mounting frame 9 moves. The two limiting rods 6 make the connecting block 7 and the mounting frame 9 more stable when moving, preventing tilting that could cause the mouse cage to fall. After adjustment, the two sides of the mouse cage are hooked onto the two symmetrically distributed cage hooks 10, making it easy to hang and remove.
