[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-4 This application provides a temporary storage cabinet for laboratory mice (hereinafter referred to as "the temporary storage cabinet"), which includes:

[0028] A first cabinet 1, the first cabinet 1 having a first inner cavity 101 and a first opening 102, the first opening 102 and the first inner cavity 101 being connected;

[0029] The second cabinet 2 has a second inner cavity 201 and a second opening 202, the second opening 202 and the second inner cavity 201 are connected, and the first cabinet 1 and the second cabinet 2 are connected, so that the first inner cavity 101 of the first cabinet 1 and the second inner cavity 201 of the second cabinet 2 are connected; the first opening 102 and the second opening 202 are connected.

[0030] The door frame assembly 3 includes a door frame body 31 and a pivot column 32. The pivot column 32 is disposed on the door frame body 31 and can pivot relative to the first cabinet 1 and the second cabinet 2, thereby allowing the door frame body 31 to open and close the first opening 102 and the second opening 202.

[0031] A locking assembly 4 is installed on the door frame body 31 and is used to lock the door frame body 31 to the first cabinet 1 and the second cabinet 2. In this application, by unlocking the locking assembly 4 and opening the door frame body 31, the experimental mouse enters the first inner cavity 101 and the second inner cavity 201 through the first opening 102 and the second opening 202. Then, the door frame body 31 is closed and the locking assembly 4 is locked, thus confining the experimental mouse in the temporary storage cabinet.

[0032] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 1-4 The first cabinet 1 further includes a first mounting narrow plate 12, which surrounds the first opening 102; the second cabinet 2 further includes a second mounting narrow plate 22, which surrounds the second opening 202; when the first cabinet 1 and the second cabinet 2 are connected together, the first mounting narrow plate 12 and the second mounting narrow plate 22 are mated together; the door frame assembly 3 further includes a first sleeve 33 and a second sleeve 34, the first sleeve 33 being fixedly mounted on the first mounting narrow plate 12, and the first sleeve 33 having a first pivot hole 330. The first sleeve 33 is fitted with the pivot post 32; the second sleeve 34 is fixedly mounted on the second mounting narrow plate 22, and the second sleeve 34 has a second pivot hole 340, which is fitted with the pivot post 32; one end of the pivot post 32 is inserted into the first pivot hole 330 of the first sleeve 33, and the other end of the pivot post 32 is inserted into the second pivot hole 340 of the second sleeve 34, so that the pivot post 32 can pivot relative to the first sleeve 33 and the second sleeve 34, thereby allowing the door frame body 31 to open or close the first opening 101 and the second opening 102. In this application, the pivot post 32 is a cylinder, and the diameter of the pivot post 32 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first pivot hole 330 of the first sleeve 33 and the second pivot hole 340 of the second sleeve 34, so that the pivot post 32 can pivot in the first pivot hole 330 of the first sleeve 33 and the second pivot hole 340 of the second sleeve 34.

[0033] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 1-4The lock assembly 4 includes a first cover 41 and a second cover 42. The first cover 41 is fixedly connected to the door frame body 31, and the second cover 42 is connected to the first cover 41, thereby forming an installation space 40 between the second cover 42 and the first cover 41. In this application, the first cover 41 and the door frame body 31 are fixedly connected together by welding, and the first cover 41 and the second cover 42 are connected together by bolts or screws.

[0034] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 1-4 The locking assembly further includes a first locking rod 43 and a first spring 45. One end of the first locking rod 43 is outside the mounting space 40, and the first spring 45 is disposed within the mounting space 40. The other end of the first locking rod 43 is sleeved by the first spring 45. The other end of the first locking rod 43 and a portion of the first locking rod 43 including the other end are disposed within the mounting space 40, and the portion of the first locking rod 43 including the other end can move within the mounting space 40. Thus, manually pushing the first locking rod 43 causes a portion of the first locking rod 43 located outside the mounting space 40 to extend into the mounting space 40, and the first locking rod 43 moves upward. When the hand leaves the first locking rod 43, the first locking rod 43 loses its pushing force and moves downward under the action of the first spring, returning to its original state. When the first locking rod 43 moves upward to a preset position, the locking assembly 4 unlocks; when the first locking rod 43 moves downward to return to its original state, the locking assembly 4 locks.

[0035] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 1-4 A first insertion sleeve 35 is fixedly mounted on the first mounting narrow plate 12, and a second insertion sleeve 36 is mounted on the second mounting narrow plate 22. The first insertion sleeve 35 has a first insertion hole 350, and the second insertion sleeve 36 has a second insertion hole 360. Thus, when a person removes their hand from the first locking rod 43, the first locking rod 43 loses its pushing force and moves downward under the action of the first spring until it is inserted into the second insertion sleeve 36. At this point, the locking assembly 4 is in a locked state.

[0036] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 1-4The locking assembly further includes a second locking rod 44 and a second spring 46. One end of the second locking rod 44 is outside the mounting space 40, and the second spring 46 is disposed in the mounting space 40. The other end of the second locking rod 44 is sleeved by the second spring 46. The other end of the second locking rod 44 and a portion of the second locking rod 44 including the other end of the second locking rod 44 are disposed in the mounting space 40, and the portion of the second locking rod 44 including the other end of the second locking rod 44 can move in the mounting space 40. Thus, manually pressing down on the second locking rod 44 causes a portion of the second locking rod 44 located outside the mounting space 40 to extend into the mounting space 40, and the second locking rod 44 moves downward. When the hand is removed from the second locking rod 44, the second locking rod 44 loses downward pressure, and the second locking rod 44 moves upward under the action of the second spring until the second locking rod 44 is inserted into the first insertion hole 350 of the first insertion sleeve 35. At this time, the locking assembly 4 is locked.

[0037] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 1-4 The lock assembly 4 further includes a first limiting member 47, which is fixedly connected to the door frame body 31. The first limiting member 47 has a first limiting through hole 470, which extends through the first limiting member 47. The first locking rod 43 passes through the first limiting through hole 470 and is able to move within the first limiting through hole 470. Thus, the first limiting member 47 ensures that the first locking rod 43 moves as linearly as possible, thereby preventing the first locking rod 43 from swinging.

[0038] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 1-4 The lock assembly 4 further includes a second limiting member 48, which is fixedly connected to the door frame body 31. The second limiting member 48 has a second limiting through hole 480, which extends through the second limiting member 48. The second locking rod 44 passes through the second limiting through hole 480 and is able to move within the second limiting through hole 480. Thus, the second limiting member 48 ensures that the second locking rod 44 moves as linearly as possible, thereby preventing the second locking rod 44 from swinging.

[0039] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 1-4The first cabinet 1 is also provided with a first docking plate 11, which is distributed around the first cabinet 1 along its circumference; the second cabinet 2 is also provided with a second docking plate 21, which is distributed around the second cabinet 2 along its circumference; the first docking plate 11 and the second docking plate 12 are docked together, and the first docking plate 11 and the second docking plate 12 are connected together by bolts or screws, thereby connecting the first cabinet 1 and the second cabinet 2 together.

[0040] Please refer to some embodiments of this application. Figure 1-4 The first cabinet 1 has a first elongated opening 100 that extends through the first cabinet 1 and communicates with the first inner cavity 101; the second cabinet 2 has a second elongated opening 200 that extends through the second cabinet 2 and communicates with the second inner cavity 201; a handle 5 is connected to the first cabinet 1. In this application, the purpose of the first elongated opening 100 and the second elongated opening 200 is to allow outside air to enter the first inner cavity 101 and the second inner cavity 102.
