Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cage technology, and more specifically, to a folding cage for toxicological experiments. Background Technology

[0002] Toxicological testing involves exposing experimental animals to various toxicological endpoints via different routes and durations of exposure. Through animal experiments and observation, the toxicity and potential hazards of a chemical are elucidated. The aim is to determine the level of harmlessness, type of toxicity, target organs, and dose-response relationship, providing crucial data for safety or hazard assessment. Toxicological testing plays a vital role in ensuring the safety of food, health foods, cosmetics, disinfectants, pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and chemical products. Mice are commonly used in toxicological experiments, stored in cages. However, due to the large number of mice used, the number of cages required increases accordingly. Current cages of fixed size are inconvenient for storage, and mice are difficult to remove easily due to escape attempts. Therefore, this application provides a foldable cage for toxicological experiments to address this issue. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a foldable cage for toxicology experiments. By setting a foldable cage body and a mouse removal component, the mouse cage can be folded and the mouse can be easily removed, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A folding cage for toxicology experiments includes a base plate, a first side plate rotatably connected to one side of the base plate, a top plate slidably connected to one side of the first side plate, a second side plate rotatably connected to one side of the top plate, a base plate slidably connected to one side of the second side plate, and a mouse retrieval assembly for conveniently removing experimental mice. The mouse retrieval assembly is connected to the top plate and the base plate respectively.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the side of the first side plate near the top plate and the side of the second side plate near the bottom plate are both fixedly connected to a fixing plug. The top of the top plate and the bottom of the bottom plate are both opened, and the inner contour of the fixing plug is adapted to the outer contour of the fixing plug.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, a cage door is rotatably connected to the top of the top plate, and a protruding handle is fixedly connected to the top of the cage door.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a plug is fixedly connected to the side of the cage door near the protruding handle. The plug is inserted into the interior of the top plate, and the plug is rectangular in shape.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the mouse-retrieving assembly includes an elastic side plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate, the elastic side plate being fixedly connected to one side of the bottom plate.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a spring sheet is fixedly connected inside the elastic side plate, and a pusher is fixedly connected to one end of the spring sheet. The pusher is arranged in an abutting position with the base plate.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a barrier curtain is fixedly connected inside the cage door, and the barrier curtain is arranged in a fan-shaped outline.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model sets up a bottom plate and a top plate. By picking up the cage and pinching the top of the top plate and the bottom of the bottom plate with your hands, the top plate and the bottom plate are brought closer together. At the same time, the elastic side plates retract. When the top plate and the bottom plate slide to contact each other, they stop. By flipping the first side plate and the second side plate, the fixing plugs at the corresponding positions are inserted into the corresponding positions, thereby completing the fixing and preventing the bottom plate and the top plate from sliding away from each other. This completes the folding of the cage, making it easy to store and fold.

[0014] 2. This utility model, by setting up elastic side plates and push frames, causes the elastic side plates to retract when the top plate and bottom plate approach each other. At the same time, the retraction of the elastic side plates causes the push frames to continuously abut against the inner side of the bottom plate. Thus, under the limitation of the bottom plate, the spring sheet retracts. As the top plate and bottom plate gradually approach each other, the elastic side plates and push frames gradually extend into the inner side of the cage, thereby compressing the space where the mouse can move. When the top plate and bottom plate are in contact, the mouse is squeezed by the elastic side plates and push frames and is located in the center of the cage, thus preventing the mouse from escaping inside the cage, thereby improving the convenience of removing the mouse.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1-2 As shown, a folding cage for toxicology experiments according to an embodiment of this utility model includes a base plate 1, a first side plate 2 rotatably connected to one side of the base plate 1, a top plate 3 slidably connected to one side of the first side plate 2, a second side plate 4 rotatably connected to one side of the top plate 3, and the base plate 1 slidably connected to one side of the second side plate 4. This arrangement allows the base plate 1 and the top plate 3 to move closer or further apart during sliding. A mouse-retrieving component is also included, used to conveniently remove experimental mice. The mouse-retrieving component is connected to both the top plate 3 and the base plate 1. The first side plate 2 is close to one side of the top plate 3. A fixing plug 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the first and second side plates 4 near the bottom plate 1. The fixing plug 5 is an elastic structure. A 12 is opened on the top of the top plate 3 and the bottom of the bottom plate 1. The inner contour of the 12 matches the outer contour of the fixing plug 5. A cage door 6 is rotatably connected to the top of the top plate 3. The cage door 6 can slide on the top of the top plate 3 while maintaining a rotatable connection with the top plate 3. A protruding handle 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the cage door 6. An insert is fixedly connected to the side of the cage door 6 near the protruding handle 7. The insert is inserted into the inside of the top plate 3. The insert is rectangular in shape.

[0021] It should be noted that, when placing the experimental mice into the folding cage of this application, pushing the protruding handle 7 causes the insert to slide out from the inside of the top plate 3. At this time, pulling the protruding handle 7 allows the cage door 6 to rotate around the side away from the protruding handle 7 as the center point, thereby opening the cage door 6 and placing the mice into the cage. When it is necessary to fold the folding cage of this application, the cage body is picked up and the top of the top plate 3 and the bottom of the bottom plate 1 are pinched by hand, causing the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 1 to slide on the inside of the top plate 3 and the second side plate 4, respectively, so that the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 1 move closer to each other. At the same time, the elastic side plate 9 retracts. The sliding stops when the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 1 slide to contact each other, that is, the side of the bottom plate 1 that is close to the second side plate 4 enters the inside of the top plate 3. On the side, the top plate 3, close to the first side plate 2, enters the inner side of the bottom plate 1. At this time, the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 4 lose the limiting position of the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 1 respectively, thus being able to flip. By flipping, the first side plate 2 is attached to the top of the top plate 3, and the second side plate 4 is attached to the bottom of the bottom plate 1. At the same time, the fixing plug 5 fixed on the first side plate 2 is inserted into the inner side of the top 12 of the top plate 3, and the fixing plug 5 fixed on the second side plate 4 is inserted into the inner side of the bottom 12 of the bottom plate 1. When the fixing plug 5 is inserted into 12, it will shrink and deform to increase the friction between the inner side wall of 12, thereby completing the fixation so that the bottom plate 1 and the top plate 3 cannot slide away from each other, thus completing the folding of the cage, which facilitates storage.

[0022] When it is necessary to restore the cage, a pulling force is applied to the side of the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 4 where the fixing plug 5 is installed, causing the fixing plug 5 to shrink and deform and detach from the inside of 12, and causing the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 4 to flip to a vertical state. Under the stretching action of the elastic side plate 9, the cage can be restored.

[0023] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mouse-retrieving assembly includes an elastic side plate 9 fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 3. The elastic side plate 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom plate 1. A spring piece 10 is fixedly connected inside the elastic side plate 9. The elastic side plate 9 and the spring piece 10 are elastic structures. A pusher 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring piece 10. The pusher 11 is set in an abutting position with the bottom plate 1. A blocking curtain 8 is fixedly connected inside the cage door 6. The blocking curtain 8 is set in a fan-shaped outline and is made of rubber. The experimenter can put their hand into the inside of the cage by flipping multiple blocking curtains 8.

[0024] It should be noted that when the mouse needs to be removed from the cage, the cage is folded in the manner described above. When the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 1 approach each other, the elastic side plate 9 retracts. At this time, the elastic side plate 9 is located at the horizontal center position and extends into the inside of the cage. Simultaneously, as the elastic side plate 9 retracts, it causes the pusher 11 to continuously abut against the inside of the bottom plate 1. Thus, under the limitation of the bottom plate 1, the spring piece 10 retracts. As the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 1 gradually approach each other, the elastic side plate 9 and the pusher 11 simultaneously extend into the inside of the cage. The elastic side plates 9 and pushers 11 compress the space where the mice can move. When the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 1 come into contact, the mice are squeezed by the elastic side plates 9 and pushers 11 and are located in the center of the cage. At the same time, the space between the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 1 is also reduced to a minimum, so that the mice cannot escape from the cage. At this time, the experimenters can take out the mice by flipping the multiple blocking curtains 8, thereby improving the convenience of taking out the mice. In actual operation, the experimenters can squeeze the bottom plate 1 and the top plate 3 with one hand to compress the cage and take out the mice with the other hand.

[0025] The elastic side plate 9 not only supports the bottom plate 1 and the top plate 3, keeping the cage in a normal state, but also allows the cage to gradually fold over by contracting the elastic side plate 9. The contraction of the elastic side plate 9 also compresses the mouse's activity space, making it easier to remove the mouse.

[0026] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
