Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of laboratory animal husbandry technology, specifically relating to a dual-cavity transport box for slow-release antibacterial laboratory animal bedding. Background Technology
[0002] Laboratory animals are a class of small mammals that are frequently used in scientific research and laboratory practice. A laboratory animal transport box is a device or container used to transport animals. It is usually designed to transport laboratory animals comfortably and safely, ensuring that they are properly cared for and protected during transport.
[0003] Existing transport boxes have the following shortcomings: 1. The bedding material is mainly made of natural materials such as wood chips and corn cobs, which are simply compressed and molded. The adsorption capacity is limited, the porosity is low, and microorganisms easily grow. After decomposing excrement, they produce odorous gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide; 2. Ordinary sealed containers are used for transportation, which do not have active deodorization functions and only rely on physical isolation of odors. Vibration during transportation accelerates the volatilization of odors and cannot effectively adsorb or decompose gases; 3. Some use chemical sprays (such as sodium hypochlorite), which pose toxic risks, affect the health of experimental animals, and interfere with the accuracy of experimental data. Therefore, we propose a dual-chamber transport box for slow-release antibacterial experimental animal bedding. Utility Model Content

A base 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the packing box 2. A ventilation structure 4 is provided at the bottom of the base 3. The ventilation structure 4 includes a vent 41. The vent 41 is fixedly... A fan 42 is connected to the base 3. A button 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 3. An acceleration sensor 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 3. A protective structure 5 is provided at the bottom of the base 3. The protective structure 5 includes a dustproof net 51. Fixing bolts 52 are rotatably connected to the four corners of the dustproof net 51. A storage slot 53 is fixedly connected to the top of the dustproof net 51. A desiccant 54 is inserted into the storage slot 53. The system includes a storage box 1, a filling box 2, a filling layer 23, a base 3, and a ventilation structure 4, dividing the transport box into two parts: the storage box 1 and the filling box 2. The storage box 1 stores the experimental animals, and the filling box 2 stores the filling layer 23. The base 3 at the bottom of box 2 provides some shock absorption through a silicone pad layer. An adsorption layer composed of activated carbon and zeolite adsorbs small-molecule odor gases. An antibacterial layer composed of tea polyphenols triggers a slow-release mechanism during transportation, decomposing organic odor sources. This antibacterial layer can also be composed of chitosan microcapsules embedded in corn cob substrate. An antibacterial layer made of bamboo fiber woven mesh inhibits microbial growth. An accelerometer 44 triggers the ventilation structure 4, guiding airflow through filtration. The long-lasting antibacterial and slow-release deodorizing padding reduces odor generation at its source. Intelligent sensing and filtration technology minimizes odor escape during transportation. The materials are non-toxic and harmless, meeting the requirements of laboratory animal welfare. It is equipped with a pull-out box 21, a spring buckle 22, and a protective structure 5. The spring buckle 22 makes it easy to fix the pull-out box 21 inside the filling box 2, facilitating the installation and removal of the pull-out box 21, and thus facilitating the replacement of the filling layer 23. The dustproof net 51 is installed at the bottom of the base 3 by the cooperation of the fixing bolt 52 and the threaded groove. The dustproof net 51 blocks dust in the air, preventing dust from entering from the bottom of the vent 41 and sticking to the fan 42. The desiccant 54 absorbs moisture in the air, preventing moisture from damaging the fan 42 and increasing the service life of the fan 42.
[0024] Furthermore, ventilation slots are provided on the surface of the top cover 11 to ensure the circulation of fresh air when storing animals. Ventilation holes are provided on the surface of the breathable partition 12 and the bottom of the pull-out box 21. The interiors of the storage box 1 and the filling box 2 are interconnected. After the fan 42 is turned on, the airflow is guided from the ventilation slots into the storage box 1 and then into the filling box 2 for filtration through the ventilation holes.
[0025] Furthermore, the filler layer 23 includes an adsorption layer, an antibacterial layer, and an antimicrobial layer. The antibacterial layer is located at the bottom of the adsorption layer, and the antimicrobial layer is located at the bottom of the antimicrobial layer. The adsorption layer is composed of activated carbon and zeolite materials, which adsorb small molecule odor gases. The antimicrobial layer is composed of tea polyphenol materials, which are released slowly by vibration generated during transportation to decompose organic odor sources. The antimicrobial layer is composed of bamboo fiber woven mesh, which inhibits the proliferation of microorganisms.
[0026] Furthermore, the base 3 is in the shape of an inverted U, and a silicone pad is provided at the bottom of the base 3, so that there is a certain gap between the bottom of the base 3 and the ground, which facilitates ventilation of the transport box through the ventilation structure 4.

During transportation, vibration can trigger the ventilation structure 4 through the acceleration sensor 44 to filter the gas inside the transport box. The start / stop of the motor can be changed through button 43. When the motor is started, the ventilation structure 4 can be triggered through the acceleration sensor 44. When the motor is not started, the acceleration sensor 44 will not trigger the ventilation structure 4. At the same time, a temperature control module is set inside the transport box to regulate the internal temperature of the transport box. This is existing technology and will not be described in detail below.
[0029] Furthermore, a dustproof net 51 is installed at the bottom of the vent 41. Threaded grooves are provided at the bottom of the vent 41 and the four corners of the dustproof net 51. The fixing bolts 52 are rotatably connected in the threaded grooves. The cross-section of the storage groove 53 is inverted U-shaped. The dustproof net 51 is installed at the bottom of the base 3 by the cooperation of the fixing bolts 52 and the threaded grooves. The dustproof net 51 blocks dust in the air, preventing dust from entering from the bottom of the vent 41 and sticking to the fan 42. The desiccant 54 absorbs moisture in the air, preventing moisture from damaging the fan 42.
[0030] Working principle: During use, the animal is placed in the storage box 1 for transportation. The filling box 2 contains the filling layer 23. The adsorption layer composed of activated carbon and zeolite adsorbs small molecule odor gases. The antibacterial layer composed of tea polyphenols is activated by vibration during transportation, triggering slow release and decomposing organic odor sources. The antibacterial layer can also be composed of chitosan microcapsules embedded in corn cob substrate. The antibacterial layer composed of bamboo fiber woven mesh inhibits the proliferation of microorganisms. Vibration during transportation triggers the ventilation structure 4 through the acceleration sensor 44. The interior of the transport box is filtered for gas. The pull-out box 21 can be easily removed using the spring buckle 22 to replace the internal filling layer 23. The dustproof net 51 is installed at the bottom of the base 3 by the cooperation of the fixing bolt 52 and the threaded groove. The dustproof net 51 blocks dust in the air and prevents dust from entering from the bottom of the vent 41 and sticking to the fan 42. The desiccant 54 absorbs moisture in the air and prevents moisture from damaging the fan 42. When replacing, the fixing bolt 52 can be removed to disassemble and replace the dustproof net 51 and the desiccant 54.
