AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When existing animal cages for neuroscience are rinsed, the feed in the feed trough is easily scattered and wasted, affecting subsequent feeding. Furthermore, the feed trough design is not convenient for automatic replenishment, which affects experimental efficiency.

Method used

The design incorporates a guide component and a collection component. The guide component moves the feed trough synchronously to prevent the feed from being scattered and automatically replenishes the feed during the movement. The collection box is equipped with transparent glass scale lines for easy observation of the remaining feed amount.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents feed waste, improves feeding efficiency, ensures smooth rinsing, replenishes feed in a timely manner, and guarantees the normal nutritional needs of laboratory animals.

Abstract

This utility model relates to the field of animal cage technology and discloses an animal placement cage for neuroscience. It includes a cage shell, two pull-out boxes installed below the cage shell, a partition installed inside the cage shell, and two sets of high-pressure nozzles installed at the rear of the cage shell and communicating with the spaces on both sides of the partition. Fixing blocks are fixedly connected to both ends of the cage shell near the high-pressure nozzles. Guide components are connected to the inner walls of the two fixing blocks, and feed troughs are connected to the other two ends of the guide components. This animal placement cage for neuroscience allows the two feed troughs to be moved synchronously via the guide components, allowing the feed trough on the side requiring rinsing to be pulled out of the cage while the feed trough on the other side is inserted. This prevents feed from being scattered and wasted during rinsing and guides the experimental animal to actively move to the unrinsed side by changing the position of the feed troughs, avoiding the animal being trapped due to the attraction of feed on both sides, and ensuring the smooth progress of the rinsing operation.
