Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal experimental workbench technology, and in particular to a multifunctional animal experimental workbench. Background Technology

[0002] Multifunctional animal laboratory workbenches are specialized equipment used for animal experiments in biomedical research, drug development, or teaching experiments. They integrate multiple functional modules to improve experimental efficiency, ensure operational safety, and protect animal welfare. These workbenches include an animal restraint system, which is used to restrain animals. Commonly used animals in experiments include rabbits and mice. Rabbits and mice have significant differences in size, and the restraint system generally involves placing the animal on a support base and securing it with fastening ropes.

[0003] However, the starting positions at both ends of the fastening rope are not adjustable. When securing larger rabbits, the closer the two ends of the rope are to the rabbit, and the higher point of the rope is adjusted to fit the rabbit's size, the better the securing effect. This is because the rope has a greater curvature and a larger contact area with the rabbit, resulting in a more stable connection. However, for mice, even with the starting positions at both ends unchanged, the lower height of the mouse means the lower height of the rope will also result in a rope that is nearly horizontal after tightening. This prevents the rope from fully conforming to the mouse's body and reduces the securing effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a multifunctional animal experimental operating table that can fix various body types and ensure a stable fixation effect.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model: a multifunctional animal experimental operating table, including a base and an angle adjustment mechanism mounted on the base, and further including:

[0006] An adjustable-length support base for carrying animals is mounted on an angle adjustment mechanism. The support base has two sliding grooves, the spacing of which varies with the length of the support base. Two sliders are slidably installed in the sliding grooves, and fastening ropes are slidably installed in the sliders. Two adjacent fastening ropes can be detachably connected.

[0023] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the multifunctional animal experimental operating table proposed in this utility model includes a base 1 and an angle adjustment mechanism 2 mounted on the base 1. The angle adjustment mechanism includes two first connecting rods 201 rotatably mounted on the base 1, two connecting blocks 202 slidably mounted on the base 1, a second connecting rod 203 rotatably mounted on the connecting blocks 202, a third connecting rod 204 rotatably mounted on the second connecting rod 203, and a handle 205 fixedly mounted between the two third connecting rods 204. By pulling or pushing the handle 205, the second connecting rod 203 can be rotated on the connecting blocks 202. Furthermore, the connecting block 202 slides on the base 1, and the first connecting rod 201 and the second connecting rod 203 are rotatably mounted with a support plate 206. When the angle of the second connecting rod 203 changes, the first connecting rod 201 rotates synchronously under the action of the support plate 206, and the angle of the support plate 206 changes. Thus, the angle of the support plate 206 can be adjusted by pulling the handle 205. It is worth noting that the rotation and sliding connection of the angle adjustment mechanism 2 should be equipped with a damping effect to ensure that the support plate 206 will not easily loosen after the angle adjustment is completed.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, this embodiment also includes a support base 3 installed on the angle adjustment mechanism 2 for supporting animals and with an adjustable length. The support base 3 has two sliding grooves 4, the spacing of which varies with the length of the support base 3. Two sliders 401 are slidably installed in the sliding grooves 4, and fastening ropes 413 are slidably installed in the sliders 401. Two adjacent fastening ropes 413 are detachably connected and fixedly connected by connecting pins 412. The animal will be placed on the support base 3, and then the two fastening ropes 413 will be connected by connecting pins 412. Tightening the fastening ropes 413 will cover the animal's body surface, thus securing the animal. When the fastening ropes 413 are tightened, the sliders 401 will slide inside the sliding grooves 4, allowing the sides of the fastening ropes 413 to cover the animal's side. This can adapt to different animal body shapes, thus accommodating animals of various sizes and ensuring the stability of the animal's fastening.

[0026] Furthermore, the support base 3 includes two support plates 301 slidably mounted on the angle adjustment mechanism 2. The support plates 301 are slidably connected to the support plate 206. The support plate 206 is provided with a slot for the fastening rope 413 to pass through. When the fastening rope 413 is tightened, the fastening rope can move freely through the slot. One of the support plates 301 is fixedly mounted with a guide plate 302, and the other support plate 301 is provided with a guide groove 303. The guide plate 302 and the guide groove 303 are slidably connected. The sliding groove 4 is located in the middle of the support plate 301, so that the two support plates 301 can move closer or further apart, thereby causing the distance between the two sliding grooves 4 to change. Thus, the position of the fastening rope 413 can be reasonably adjusted according to the animal of different body shapes.

[0027] like Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, this embodiment also includes a tightening module, which is fixedly connected to the angle adjustment mechanism 2. The tightening module is fixedly installed above the support plate 206. The tightening module scales the fastening rope 413. The tightening module includes an extension rod 402 fixedly installed on the angle adjustment mechanism 2 and a control box 403 fixedly installed on the extension rod 402. Two winding rollers 404 are rotatably installed inside the control box 403. The winding rollers 404 correspond one-to-one with the fastening rope 413 and are fixedly connected. Gears 405 meshing with each other are fixedly installed on the winding rollers 404. A rotating shaft 4 is fixedly installed on one of the gears 405. 06. Another gear 405 is equipped with a limiting component for fastening gear 405. Rotating one of the gears 405 will cause the two winding rollers 404 to rotate synchronously, thereby winding the fastening rope 413 and tightening the fastening rope 413. Conversely, the fastening rope 413 can be extended to remove the fixation of the animal. The limiting component can prevent the fastening rope 413 from loosening and prevent the fastening from failing. The rotating shaft 406 passes through one side of the control box 403 and extends to the outside of the control box 403. Rotating the rotating shaft 406 can drive the two winding rollers 404 to rotate synchronously.

[0028] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a support 407 fixedly mounted on the control box 403, a pull rod 408 slidably mounted on the support 407, a first friction plate 410 fixedly mounted on the pull rod 408, a spring 409 fixedly mounted between the first friction plate 410 and the support 407, and a second friction plate 411 fixedly mounted on one of the gears 405. Under the action of the spring 409, the first friction plate 410 covers the second friction plate 411, increasing the pressure between the first friction plate 410 and the second friction plate 411. Thus, the friction force can prevent the second friction plate 411 from rotating, thereby preventing the winding roller 404 from loosening, thus ensuring the stability of the animal fixation.

[0029] In this embodiment, the animal is placed on the support base 3, and then two fastening ropes 413 are connected by connecting nails 412. The fastening ropes 413 are tightened to cover the animal's body surface, thus fixing the animal. When the fastening ropes 413 are tightened, the slider 401 will slide inside the groove 4, so that the two sides of the fastening ropes 413 cover the side of the animal. It can also adapt to different animal body shapes, thus accommodating a variety of animals of different sizes and ensuring the stability of the animal fastening.

[0030] The above specific embodiments are merely several optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
