Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of animal experimental devices, and in particular relates to an animal restraint device. Background Technology

[0002] In biomedical research, veterinary clinical diagnosis and treatment, and animal weighing, it is often necessary to restrain animals to ensure operational safety and data accuracy. However, existing animal restraint devices generally have two major problems: First, traditional restraint devices lack flexibility and adaptability in restraining animals. For example, most devices use fixed fences or single-size restraint straps, which cannot be adjusted according to the animal's size (such as sheep, cattle, etc.), resulting in insecure restraint or excessive restraint. When animals struggle violently due to stress, they may not only break free of the restraint and interrupt the operation, but may also cause injury to themselves or scratches or bites to the operator due to collisions. In addition, existing devices are mostly rigid structures and lack adjustable limb restraint components, making it difficult to meet the specific requirements of animal position for delicate operations such as intravenous injection and blood collection, affecting experimental accuracy and diagnostic efficiency.

[0003] On the other hand, animals often experience urinary and fecal incontinence under stress, and traditional devices do not have effective excrement collection devices. Excrement falls directly to the ground or the bottom of the device, which not only pollutes the operating environment and increases the risk of cross-infection, but also requires a lot of time to clean up. The problem of excrement accumulation is particularly prominent in large-scale animal diagnosis or experimental settings, which not only does not comply with biosafety standards, but also increases the labor intensity of operators. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems in the prior art, this utility model provides an animal restraint device. The technical solution includes a top plate, a bottom plate, several fences, and a tail plate. The top plate, bottom plate, several fences, and tail plate form a fixing space. A first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, a third connecting rod, and a fourth connecting rod are fixedly installed within the fixing space. Slider blocks are slidably mounted on each of the first, second, third, and fourth connecting rods. The sliders on the first, second, and third connecting rods are fixedly connected to a lower limb restraint mechanism, and the slider on the fourth connecting rod is fixedly connected to a back restraint mechanism.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment, the first connecting rod is radially arranged and close to the base plate, while the second and third connecting rods are arranged perpendicular to the first connecting rod. The first connecting rod is provided with two sliders and corresponding lower limb fixing mechanisms.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the fourth connecting rod is positioned close to the top plate.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the lower limb fixation mechanism includes a first fixed sleeve, one end of which is fixedly connected to a slider, and the other end of which is slidably connected to a first movable rod. The first movable rod is provided with several insertion holes, and the first fixed sleeve is also provided with insertion holes. The first fixed sleeve and the first movable rod are fixedly connected by a pin, and the end of the first movable rod away from the first fixed sleeve is fixedly connected to a wristband.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the back fixing mechanism includes a second fixing sleeve, one end of which is fixedly connected to the slider, and the other end of which is slidably connected to the second movable rod. The second movable rod is provided with several insertion holes, and the second fixing sleeve is also provided with insertion holes. The second fixing sleeve and the second movable rod are fixedly connected by a pin, and the end of the second movable rod away from the second fixing sleeve is fixedly connected to a fixing claw.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the wristband includes two semicircular rings, one of which is inserted into the other, and the two semicircular rings are fixedly connected by a pin.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the base plate is a sieve plate, and a base is provided at the bottom of the base plate. A protrusion extends from the inner side wall of the base, and a collection groove is provided on the protrusion. The collection groove can slide relative to the base, and four wheels are also provided below the base.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a pull ring is fixedly installed on the side wall of the collection tank.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the tail plate is hinged to the side wall of the base plate via a hinge seat and a hinge rod.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the tail plate has a first fixing member on its side wall and a second fixing member on the side wall of the fence near the tail plate. The first fixing member and the second fixing member are fixedly connected by a pin.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] (1) Multi-directional sliding adjustment: The sliders on the first to fourth connecting rods can slide freely along the rods. In conjunction with the lower limb fixation mechanism and the back fixation mechanism, the three-dimensional spatial positioning of the animal's limbs and back can be achieved. For example, by adjusting the position of the sliders, the fixation needs of animals of different sizes such as sheep and cattle can be adapted.

[0016] The lengths of the first movable rod of the lower limb fixation mechanism and the second movable rod of the back fixation mechanism can be adjusted by a pin, further enhancing the adaptability to animals of different body sizes and avoiding the problems of insecure fixation or excessive pressure caused by the "one-size-fits-all" approach of traditional fixation devices.

[0017] (2) The combination design of the sieve plate bottom plate and the sliding collection trough: The bottom plate adopts a sieve plate structure to ensure that the excrement falls quickly into the collection trough below, avoiding accumulation and contamination of the animal's body surface. The collection trough can slide smoothly through the protrusion on the inner side wall of the base. With the pull ring design, the pull operation can be completed quickly.

[0018] (3) Tail plate hinge and fixing component combination design: The tail plate is flipped through the hinge seat and hinge rod. With the pin connection of the first fixing component and the second fixing component, the tail plate can be tilted down to form a ramp, which makes it easy for animals to enter and exit. Unlike the previous device, it is no longer necessary to lift the animal onto the fixing device, saving time and effort. Attached Figure Description
