Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a transport box for laboratory mice with an anti-collision buffer structure. Background Technology
[0002] In numerous research fields such as life sciences, medicine, and pharmacy, laboratory mice, as one of the most important model organisms, share highly similar physiological characteristics with humans and are widely used in experiments such as disease mechanism research, drug development, and gene editing, playing an irreplaceable role in promoting scientific progress and medical development. The quality and physiological state of laboratory mice directly affect the accuracy, reliability, and reproducibility of experimental results; therefore, strict control must be exercised in all aspects of laboratory mouse breeding, feeding, and transportation.
[0003] The transport of laboratory mice is a crucial link connecting different experimental institutions, breeding facilities, and experimental sites. The core requirement is to ensure that mice are protected from physical damage, stress responses, and adverse effects from environmental changes during transport. Existing transport boxes are mostly made of rigid plastic or metal, with limited separation and cushioning achieved only through simple partitions or foam filling. In actual transport, due to the bumps, inertia of the transport vehicle, and accidental collisions, severe vibrations and impacts can easily occur inside the transport box. These impacts are directly transmitted to the mice inside, leading to collision injuries, excessive stress, and even death.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a transport box for laboratory mice with a shock-absorbing structure to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] (a) Purpose of the utility model
[0006] To address the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes a transport box for laboratory mice with an anti-collision buffer structure, which can reduce the impact of the transport box during transportation.
[0007] (II) Technical Solution
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a transport box for laboratory mice with an anti-collision and buffer structure, comprising an outer anti-collision box and an inner placement box, wherein laboratory mice are placed inside the placement box, and multiple buffer blocks are provided on the outer wall of the placement box, wherein the buffer blocks are placed between the outer anti-collision box and the placement box;
[0009] Both the outer anti-collision box and the top of the placement box are equipped with a door opening and closing assembly;
[0010] The top and bottom of the placement box are provided with upper and lower buffer components, and the opposite side wall is provided with a side buffer component. The upper and lower buffer components and the side buffer components are all set in conjunction with the buffer block.
[0011] The upper and lower buffer assembly includes multiple upper and lower buffer springs, which are placed between the top and bottom of the outer anti-collision box and the mounting box;
[0012] The side buffer assembly includes a side buffer spring. One end of the side buffer spring is placed in a positioning cylinder provided on the side of the placement box, and the other end is placed in a positioning groove provided on the inner wall of the outer anti-collision box, that is, the placement box shakes inside the outer anti-collision box.
[0013] Preferably, the bottom outer side of the upper and lower buffer springs is also provided with positioning rings, and multiple positioning rings are fixed to the top and bottom of the mounting box. The other end of the upper and lower buffer springs is fixed to the inner wall of the top and bottom of the outer anti-collision box. The buffer block is disposed between multiple upper and lower buffer springs and avoids the door opening and closing assembly.
[0014] Preferably, the positioning cylinder is disposed on the side of the placement box and extends into its interior, and the bottom of the positioning cylinder is provided with a recessed mounting hole, the mounting hole positioning the side buffer spring at the bottom of the positioning cylinder, and the size of the positioning groove is smaller than the internal size of the positioning cylinder, that is, the positioning groove can penetrate into the positioning cylinder when moving.
[0015] Preferably, the switch door assembly includes a switch door disposed at the top opening of the outer anti-collision box and the placement box. One side of the switch door is connected to one side of the opening by multiple hinges, and the switch door is provided with a handle. One side of the switch door is provided with a limiting groove, and the top opening of the outer anti-collision box and the placement box is provided with a limiting plate that matches the limiting groove.

[0018] Preferably, the outer anti-collision box and the placement box have the same overall shape, and the overall size of the placement box is smaller than the overall size of the outer anti-collision box.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model are:
[0020] 1. This utility model provides basic anti-collision protection through the outer anti-collision box. With the buffer block on the outer wall of the placement box, it can initially alleviate the impact of external collisions. The upper and lower buffer components and the side buffer components work together to effectively absorb the vibration and bumps in the vertical and lateral directions during transportation. The moderate shaking of the placement box in the outer anti-collision box greatly weakens the external impact force, reduces the stress response or physical damage to the experimental mice caused by collisions and bumps, and ensures the stability of the mice's physiological state.
[0021] 2. The outer anti-collision box of this utility model has the same shape and size as the placement box, which provides reasonable sway space for the placement box, ensuring that the upper, lower and side buffer components can play a full role, improving the overall buffering effect, and ensuring structural stability.

The upper and lower buffer components 5 and the side buffer component 6 are both set in conjunction with the buffer block 3.
[0035] Specifically, the upper and lower buffer assembly 5 includes multiple upper and lower buffer springs 51, which are placed between the top and bottom of the outer anti-collision box 1 and the mounting box 2.
[0036] Specifically, the side buffer assembly 6 includes a side buffer spring 61. One end of the side buffer spring 61 is placed in the positioning cylinder 62 provided on the side of the housing 2, and the other end is placed in the positioning groove 63 provided on the inner wall of the outer anti-collision box 1, that is, the housing 2 shakes inside the outer anti-collision box 1.
[0037] In this embodiment, the outer anti-collision box 1 is made of high-strength rigid material and has an overall rectangular structure. Its internal dimensions are reserved with sufficient gaps to ensure that the housing 2 can be suspended and built in place. The outer walls of the outer anti-collision box 1 are fixed with lifting handles 11 by bolts on both sides, and multiple ventilation holes 7 with a diameter of 5-8mm are evenly opened on the opposite outer wall.
[0038] Specifically, the placement box 2 is made of lightweight and sturdy plastic, and its overall size is smaller than that of the outer anti-collision box 1. Ventilation holes 7 are also opened at the corresponding positions on the opposite outer wall, and the inner wall is polished smooth to prevent scratching the mice.
[0039] Reference Figure 4 The bottom outer side of the upper and lower buffer springs 51 is also provided with positioning rings 52. Multiple positioning rings 52 are fixed to the top and bottom of the mounting box 2. The other end of the upper and lower buffer springs 51 is fixed to the inner wall of the top and bottom of the outer anti-collision box 1. The buffer block 3 is arranged between multiple upper and lower buffer springs 51 and avoids the door opening and closing assembly 4.
[0040] Reference Figure 5The positioning cylinder 62 is located on the side of the placement box 2 and extends into its interior. The bottom of the positioning cylinder 62 is provided with a recessed mounting hole 64. The mounting hole 64 positions the side buffer spring 61 at the bottom of the positioning cylinder 62. The size of the positioning groove 63 is smaller than the internal size of the positioning cylinder 62, that is, the positioning groove 63 can penetrate into the positioning cylinder 62 when it moves.
[0041] In this embodiment, the buffer block 3 is made of high-density sponge or elastic silicone block and is fixed to the four outer walls of the placement box 2 with environmentally friendly adhesive. The thickness is half of the gap between the outer anti-collision box 1 and the placement box 2, filling the basic gap between the two to form a preliminary buffer layer.
[0042] Specifically, the upper and lower buffer components 5 are fixed to the top and bottom outer walls of the housing 2 by heat fusion or bolts, and one end of the upper and lower buffer springs 51 is embedded in the positioning rings 52 for fixation, and the other end is fixed to the corresponding positions on the top and bottom inner walls of the outer anti-collision box 1 by hooks or bolts; the buffer block 3 is set between the multiple upper and lower buffer springs 51, forming a composite buffer structure in the upper and lower direction with the springs.
[0043] In this embodiment, the side buffer assembly 6 is vertically fixed to the positioning cylinder 62 extending into the box from the left and right opposite side walls of the mounting box 2. The bottom of the positioning cylinder 62 has a recessed mounting hole 64, and one end of the side buffer spring 61 is embedded in the mounting hole 64 for fixation. The outer anti-collision box 1 has a positioning groove 63 corresponding to the position of the inner wall, and the other end of the spring is naturally embedded in the positioning groove 63 to form a side buffer structure.
[0044] Reference Figure 2 The door assembly 4 includes a door 41 located at the top opening of the outer anti-collision box 1 and the housing box 2. One side of the door 41 is connected to the side of the opening by multiple hinges 42, and the door 41 is provided with a handle 43. One side of the door 41 is provided with a limiting groove 44, and the top opening of the outer anti-collision box 1 and the housing box 2 is provided with a limiting plate 45 that matches the limiting groove 44.
[0045] In this embodiment, the outer anti-collision box 1 and the placement box 2 have rectangular openings at the top. The opening and closing door 41 is made of the same material as the box body. One side is connected to the opening side by multiple metal hinges 42, and a plastic handle 43 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the other side. The inner wall of the closing side of the opening and closing door 41 has a limiting groove 44. The corresponding side of the opening at the top of the box body has a limiting plate 45 that matches the limiting groove 44, which is fixedly welded or bolted. When closed, the limiting plate 45 is embedded in the limiting groove 44 to prevent the opening and closing door from being accidentally opened during transportation.
[0046] Specifically, the outer anti-collision box 1 and the mounting box 2 are provided with multiple ventilation holes 7 on their opposite outer walls.
[0047] Specifically, the outer anti-collision box 1 is also equipped with lifting handles 11 on both sides of its outer wall.
[0048] Specifically, the outer anti-collision box 1 and the placement box 2 have the same overall shape, and the overall size of the placement box 2 is smaller than the overall size of the outer anti-collision box 1.
[0049] In this embodiment, ventilation holes 7 are evenly opened on the front and rear opposing outer walls of the outer anti-collision box 1 and the placement box 2 to ensure air circulation inside the box; after all components are assembled, the swaying space of the placement box 2 inside the outer anti-collision box 1 is checked to ensure that the buffer structure can function freely.
[0050] In this embodiment, during transportation, if the outer anti-collision box 1 is impacted from the vertical direction, the upper and lower buffer springs 51 will absorb energy by stretching or compressing, while the buffer block 3 further buffers the remaining impact force, preventing the placement box 2 from being directly subjected to force; when impacted from the side, the side buffer spring 61 relieves the force through deformation, and the positioning groove 63 extends into the positioning cylinder 62 to limit excessive shaking, forming a double protection with the side buffer block 3, which significantly reduces the stress response or physical damage to mice caused by bumps and collisions.
[0051] Specifically, the door opening and closing assembly 4 achieves flexible opening and closing through the hinge 42, the handle 43 is easy to grip and operate, and the cooperation between the limiting groove 44 and the limiting plate 45 ensures a stable closure; the lifting handle 11 of the outer anti-collision box 1 is easy for one or two people to carry, especially suitable for short-distance transfer between laboratories and floors, and the operation is labor-saving and stable.
[0052] In this embodiment, the ventilation holes 7 on the outer wall of the facade form a convection channel to ensure air circulation inside the box, avoid hypoxia or excessive temperature in mice due to the closed environment, and reduce the impact of environmental stress on the physiological state of experimental mice.
[0053] In this embodiment, the outer anti-collision box 1 is made of high-strength material, which can resist external collisions or compression and protect the inner placement box 2 and the mice; the placement box 2 is consistent in shape and size with the outer anti-collision box 1, ensuring that the buffer structure is evenly stressed and adaptable to the short-distance transport needs of experimental mice of different sizes.

Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
