[0032] In the construction of the animal house of this utility model, the ground below is made of channel steel as the steel structure foundation. The original ground of the building does not need to be treated, only its basic flatness needs to be ensured. The channel steel is fully covered with steel plates. The walls and the top are made of galvanized square tubes as the steel structure foundation, which are used to fix the wall panels and support the roof equipment in the animal house. The requirements for the building are low and the installation is very convenient.

[0033] To facilitate personnel access, the changing room includes a first changing room 2 and a second changing room 3. The first changing room 2, the second changing room 3, and the buffer room 4 are arranged sequentially behind the preparation room 1. The cleaning corridor 5 and the operating room 6 are arranged sequentially to the right of the buffer room 4. The feeding room 7 is arranged in front of the operating room 6. The preparation room 1, the first changing room 2, the second changing room 3, the buffer room 4, the cleaning corridor 5, the operating room 6, and the feeding room 7 are connected sequentially to form the passage for experimental personnel to enter.

[0034] When researchers enter the operating room 6 and the feeding room 7, they first enter the preparation room 1, then pass through the first changing room 2, the second changing room 3 and the buffer room 4 for disinfection, and then enter the operating room 6 and the feeding room 7 through the clean corridor 5, so as to avoid the bacteria carried by the researchers from affecting the experimental animals in the feeding room 7.

[0035] To facilitate the entry of items into the feeding room 7, the feeding room 7 is located to the right of the preparation room 1. There are two first pass-through windows 10, which are arranged side by side between the feeding room 7 and the operation room 6.

[0036] The preparation room 1, the first transfer window 10, and the feeding room 7 are connected in sequence to form a separate item entry channel. That is, items can only enter the feeding room 7 after being sterilized and disinfected by the first transfer window 10.

[0037] The decommissioning room 9 and the quarantine room 8 are arranged sequentially on the right side of the changing room and in front of the cleaning corridor 5.

[0038] After the experiment, the experimenters can exit the barrier environment through the retreat room 9. That is, the experimenters can exit to the preparation room 1 by passing through the operation room 6, the cleaning corridor 5 and the retreat room 9 in sequence.

[0039] To facilitate the entry of laboratory animals, the quarantine room 8 is located behind the preparation room 1, and the second transfer window 11 is a double-layered transfer window.

[0040] The preparation room 1, the second pass-through window 11, the quarantine room 8, the cleaning corridor 5, the operating room 6, and the feeding room 7 are connected in sequence to form a separate passage for laboratory animals. Laboratory animals can be disinfected and sterilized through the second pass-through window 11, and after quarantine treatment in the quarantine room 8, they are sent to the feeding room 7 through the cleaning corridor 5 and the operating room 6.

[0041] The preparation room 1 is equipped with a handwashing sink 17 and a sterilizer 18.

[0042] The handwashing basin 17 is used for initial cleaning of laboratory personnel, and the sterilizer 18 is used for initial disinfection of items.

[0043] The operating room 6 is equipped with an operating table 19, which is used by experimental personnel to perform corresponding operations on experimental animals.

[0044] In this embodiment, the control panel 19 is located on the rear side of the control room 6 against the wall.

[0045] The breeding room 7 is equipped with breeding cages 20, which can facilitate the breeding of laboratory animals.

[0046] To facilitate access to the various functional rooms, a main door 21 for entering the functional layer is set at the front left end of the preparation room 1. An operating control box 22 is set on the outer wall to the right of the main door 21. The operating control box 22 is used to control various devices in the functional layer and equipment layer.

[0047] To ensure air circulation in each room, the air supply unit 13 is located on the front side of the top of the functional floor, and the exhaust unit 14 is located on the rear right side of the top of the functional floor.

[0048] Each air outlet 23 of the air supply duct 15 is located on the top of the corresponding room.

[0049] Except for preparation room 1, each of the other rooms has at least one air outlet 23 connected to the air supply duct 15 on its top. The air supply air conditioning unit 13 is located on the top of preparation room 1, and the air outlet 23 corresponding to preparation room 1 can be directly set at the bottom of the air supply air conditioning unit 13.

[0050] To facilitate ventilation, each room has a downdraft vent connected to the exhaust pipe 16 on its wall.

[0051] Specifically, exhaust ducts 24 are provided inside the outer wall of the buffer room 4, the wall between the changing room and the retreat room 9 and the cleaning corridor 5, the wall between the quarantine room 8 and the feeding room 7, and the outer wall of the feeding room 7. The exhaust ducts 24 are connected to the lower exhaust vents of the corresponding rooms. For example, the exhaust duct 24 in the wall between the changing room and the retreat room 9 is connected to the lower exhaust vents of the changing room and the retreat room 9. The top of each exhaust duct 24 is connected to the exhaust pipe 16, which in turn is connected to the exhaust fan unit 14 to complete the exhaust operation of each room.

[0052] In this embodiment, the wall panels and ceiling panels of the animal room are multifunctional decorative wall panels with return air clamps. The wall panels with downdraft ventilation requirements are hollow structures with 16 built-in exhaust pipes, thus forming an exhaust channel 24 located inside the wall. This allows the downdraft vents to be integrated with the wall panels, greatly improving the space utilization rate of the animal room and enhancing its aesthetic appearance.

[0053] During animal experiments, researchers sequentially pass through the first changing room 2, the second changing room 3, and the buffer room 4 before entering the clean corridor 5, thus entering the barrier environment. Meanwhile, other personnel in the preparation room 1 transfer the animals through the second pass-through window 11 to the quarantine room 8, where researchers perform quarantine procedures. The animals are then transferred to the feeding room 7 via the operation room 6. If items need to be placed in the barrier environment, other personnel in the preparation room 1 can directly transfer them to the feeding room 7 via the first pass-through window 10 for disinfection and sterilization. After the experiment, researchers can exit the barrier environment through the withdrawal room 9.

[0054] This invention adopts a modular design, which is convenient to install and has a short construction time. Furthermore, it provides separate channels for laboratory personnel, laboratory animals, and materials to enter the barrier environment, which can effectively avoid the problem of cross-contamination.

[0055] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
