Abstract
Description
A feeding test box for experimental intestinal immune function of fermented feed Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of feeding test boxes, and specifically relates to a feeding test box for testing the intestinal immune function of fermented feed. Background Technology
[0002] The fermented feed intestinal immune function experiment feeding chamber is an experimental device specifically designed to study the effects of fermented feed on animal intestinal health and immune function. This chamber is typically used to simulate the animal's rearing environment to conduct fermented feed feeding experiments under controlled conditions, thereby assessing its impact on the intestinal microbiota, immune function, and growth performance.
[0003] According to Chinese Patent No. CN114128634B, a feeding system for experimental bio-fermented feed is disclosed. The proposed solution includes a substrate, a receiving mechanism mounted on one side of the substrate, a drainage plate fixedly connected to the substrate at the top of the receiving mechanism near its end, a barrier mechanism extending into the bottom of the receiving mechanism, and a cleaning mechanism mounted on the top of the receiving mechanism. This invention enables quantitative feeding of experimental animals, dispensing feed according to the animal's weight. It can recover residual feed in the feeding trough and feed dropped during feeding, while simultaneously rinsing and cleaning the animal feces and the feeding trough. This effectively removes residual feed, feces, and other debris, effectively preventing bacterial growth, improving the hygiene of the experimental environment, and reducing the workload of experimental personnel in feeding.
[0004] As can be seen from the above structure, the feeding trough can be used for feeding. However, most existing feeding mechanisms are fixed by screws or welding, which makes it impossible to disassemble the feeding mechanism flexibly during installation. This makes it particularly inconvenient to disassemble, clean and disinfect the feeding mechanism during use, thus reducing the practicality of the device. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding test box for intestinal immune function experiments of fermented feed, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A feeding test chamber for experimental intestinal immune function of fermented feed includes a test chamber body. A main board is fixedly connected to the outer side of the test chamber body. A feeding trough is fixedly connected to the inner side of the main board inside the test chamber body. An installation component is fixedly connected to the outer side of the main board. A feeding channel is fixedly connected to the other end of the installation component. A metering component is fixedly connected to the other end of the feeding channel. A discharge channel is fixedly connected to the upper end of the metering component. A storage box is fixedly connected to the upper end of the discharge channel. The installation component includes a connecting plate disposed at one end of the feeding channel. A snap-fit frame is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting plate. A snap-fit hole is opened on the outer surface of the snap-fit frame. A snap-fit block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the main board. Circular grooves are opened on both sides of the snap-fit block. A snap-fit spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the circular groove. A snap-fit connector is fixedly connected to the other end of the snap-fit spring. The snap-fit connector and the snap-fit hole snap together.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the quantitative component includes a housing disposed at the lower end of the feeding channel, a distributing shaft is rotatably connected inside the housing, a distributing plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the distributing shaft, a distributing motor is fixedly connected to the outer side of the housing, and the output shaft of the distributing motor passes through the housing and is fixedly connected to the distributing shaft.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, an anti-blocking shaft is rotatably connected inside the feeding channel, and multiple anti-blocking rods are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the anti-blocking shaft. An anti-blocking motor is fixedly connected to the outer side of the feeding channel, and the output shaft of the anti-blocking motor passes through the feeding channel and is fixedly connected to the anti-blocking shaft.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, release springs are fixedly connected to both sides of the snap-fit frame around the snap-fit hole, and a pressing plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the release springs. A release block is fixedly connected to the inner side of the pressing plate.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the upper sides of the main board are provided with hidden grooves, the hidden grooves are provided with mounting through holes, the mounting through holes are provided with mounting screws, the outer side of the test chamber body is provided with mounting screw holes, and the mounting screws pass through the mounting through holes and are threadedly connected to the mounting screw holes.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the lower end of the test chamber body is fixedly connected to an outer shell, an electric push rod is fixedly connected inside the outer shell, and a universal wheel is fixedly connected to the other end of the electric push rod. The universal wheel and the outer shell are slidably inserted into each other.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the upper end of the test chamber body is provided with a placement opening, and a cover is hinged inside the placement opening. The cover fits snugly against the placement opening, and a switch handle is fixedly connected to the outside of the cover.
[0014] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0015] First, the present invention, through its installation components, allows for the installation of a quantitative component. When the component needs to be installed, the snap-fit block is inserted into the snap-fit frame. During insertion, the snap-fit connector is squeezed into the circular groove. After the snap-fit block is fully inserted into the snap-fit frame, the snap-fit hole aligns with the circular groove. At this point, the snap-fit connector pops out of the circular groove under the action of the snap-fit spring, allowing it to snap into the snap-fit hole, thus achieving the snap-fit effect and enabling the installation of the quantitative component. Furthermore, the snap-fit method makes disassembly more convenient.
[0016] Secondly, this utility model, through its quantitative component, allows for the addition of feed by controlling the distributing motor to rotate the distributing shaft when needed. This rotation of the distributing shaft, in turn, rotates the distributing plate. Once the middle part of the distributing plate rotates to the upper end of the feeding channel, the feed can be dispensed. The number of rotations of the distributing plate determines the quantitative addition. Furthermore, during feeding, the anti-blocking motor rotates, driving the anti-blocking shaft to rotate. This rotation of the anti-blocking shaft, in turn, drives the anti-blocking rod to rotate, thus agitating the inside of the feeding channel and preventing feed from clogging due to excessively rapid feeding.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] Example
[0024] Referring to Figures 1 to 5, a feeding test box for an experiment on the intestinal immune function of fermented feed according to this embodiment includes a test box body 1. A main board 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the test box body 1. A feeding trough 14 is fixedly connected to the inside of the main board 5, located inside the test box body 1. An installation component 6 is fixedly connected to the outside of the main board 5. A feeding channel 7 is fixedly connected to the other end of the installation component 6. A metering component 8 is fixedly connected to the other end of the feeding channel 7. A discharge channel 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the metering component 8. A storage box 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the discharge channel 9. The installation component 6 includes components disposed in the feeding channel. A connecting plate 61 is provided at one end of the test chamber 7. A snap-fit frame 62 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting plate 61. A snap-fit hole 63 is provided on the outer surface of the snap-fit frame 62. A snap-fit block 64 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the main board 5. A circular groove 65 is provided on both sides of the snap-fit block 64. A snap-fit spring 66 is fixedly connected inside the circular groove 65. A snap-fit connector 67 is fixedly connected to the other end of the snap-fit spring 66. The snap-fit connector 67 and the snap-fit hole 63 snap-fit into each other. A placement opening 2 is provided at the upper end of the test chamber body 1. A cover 3 is hinged inside the placement opening 2. The cover 3 fits into the placement opening 2. A switch handle 4 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the cover 3.
[0025] Referring to Figures 2 and 4, the quantitative component 8 includes a housing 81 located at the lower end of the feeding channel 9. A distributing shaft 82 is rotatably connected inside the housing 81, and a distributing plate 83 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the distributing shaft 82. A distributing motor 84 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the housing 81, and the output shaft of the distributing motor 84 passes through the housing 81 and is fixedly connected to the distributing shaft 82. By controlling the distributing motor 84 to drive the distributing shaft 82 to rotate, the distributing plate 83 can be driven to rotate. After the middle part of the distributing plate 83 rotates to the upper end of the feeding channel 7, it can feed the feed. The number of times the distributing plate 83 rotates can be used to add feed in a quantitative manner.
[0026] Referring to Figure 4, an anti-blocking shaft 86 is rotatably connected inside the feeding channel 9. Multiple anti-blocking rods 87 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the anti-blocking shaft 86. An anti-blocking motor 85 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the feeding channel 9. The output shaft of the anti-blocking motor 85 passes through the feeding channel 9 and is fixedly connected to the anti-blocking shaft 86. When the anti-blocking motor 85 is started, the anti-blocking motor 85 rotates, which drives the anti-blocking shaft 86 to rotate. The rotation of the anti-blocking shaft 86 drives the anti-blocking rods 87 to rotate, thereby agitating the inside of the feeding channel 9 under the rotation of the anti-blocking rods 87. This prevents the feed from being blocked inside the feeding channel 9 due to excessively fast feeding.
[0027] Referring to Figure 5, release springs 19 are fixedly connected to both sides of the snap-fit frame 62 around the snap-fit hole 63. A pressing plate 20 is fixedly connected to the other end of the release spring 19. A release block 21 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the pressing plate 20. By pressing the pressing plate 20 downward, the release block 21 is moved into the snap-fit hole 63. After the release block 21 enters the snap-fit hole 63, it can squeeze out the snap-fit connector 67, thereby disengaging the snap-fit connector 67 from the snap-fit hole 63 and allowing the metering component 8 to be disassembled.
[0028] Referring to Figure 1, the lower end of the test chamber body 1 is fixedly connected to an outer shell 11. An electric push rod 12 is fixedly connected inside the outer shell 11, and a caster wheel 13 is fixedly connected to the other end of the electric push rod 12. The caster wheel 13 and the outer shell 11 are slidably inserted into each other. By controlling the electric push rod 12, the caster wheel 13 extends out of the outer shell 11 under the action of the electric push rod 12. Thus, when the caster wheel 13 extends out of the outer shell 11, it can be moved by the caster wheel 13. When fixing the device, the caster wheel 13 can be moved into the interior of the outer shell 11, so that the outer shell 11 contacts the ground. This increases the contact area between the device and the ground when the outer shell 11 contacts the ground, thereby achieving a further stabilizing effect.
[0029] Referring to Figures 1-3, hidden slots 15 are provided on both sides of the upper end of the main board 5. The hidden slots 15 have through holes 16 inside, and mounting screws 17 are inserted into the through holes 16. Mounting screw holes 18 are provided on the outer side of the test chamber body 1. The mounting screws 17 pass through the through holes 16 and are threaded into the mounting screw holes 18. The mounting screws 17 make it easy to install the main board 5 during use.
[0030] Operating principle and advantages: During use, the main board 5 is installed to the test chamber body 1. When installing the quantitative component 8, the snap-fit block 64 is inserted into the snap-fit frame 62. During insertion, the snap-fit connector 67 is squeezed into the circular groove 65. After the snap-fit block 64 is fully inserted into the snap-fit frame 62, the snap-fit hole 63 aligns with the circular groove 65. At this point, the snap-fit connector 67 will pop out of the circular groove 65 under the action of the snap-fit spring 66, allowing the snap-fit connector 67 to engage with the snap-fit hole 63, thus achieving the snap-fit effect and enabling the installation of the quantitative component 8. After installation, the device can be used normally. When adding feed, the dispensing motor 84 drives the dispensing shaft 82 to rotate. The rotation of the dispensing shaft 82 drives the dispensing plate 83 to rotate. The middle part of the dispensing plate 83 rotates to the feed inlet... Feed can be fed from the top of the feed channel 7. The number of times the feed plate 83 rotates can be used to add feed in a quantitative manner. When feeding, the anti-blocking motor 85 rotates, which drives the anti-blocking shaft 86 to rotate. The rotation of the anti-blocking shaft 86 drives the anti-blocking rod 87 to rotate, which agitates the inside of the feed channel 9. This prevents the feed from being fed too quickly and causing it to block the inside of the feed channel 9. Finally, the feed falls into the feeding trough 14 for feeding. When cleaning and maintaining the quantitative component 8, pressing down the pressing plate 20 moves the release block 21 into the snap-fit hole 63. After the release block 21 enters the snap-fit hole 63, it can squeeze out the snap-fit connector 67, thereby disengaging the snap-fit connector 67 from the snap-fit hole 63 and allowing the quantitative component 8 to be disassembled.
