Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of experimental equipment technology, and in particular to a continuous automatic labeling device for experimental animals. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of laboratory animal management, especially in research involving mice and rats, animal identification (tag) and disinfection are fundamental and crucial tasks. This not only facilitates individual animal identification and tracking but is also a key step in ensuring the accuracy of experimental data and animal welfare. However, existing technical solutions have some significant shortcomings and problems.
[0003] Currently, a commonly used technical solution is the "Ear Tag Clamp Kit for Mouse and Large Animals in Micro-CT and MRI" (Patent No. CN 211723458 U), which includes carbon fiber ear tags and ear tag clamps. The ear tag clamps consist of a fixedly connected handle and a clamp head. The clamp head includes an upper clamp, a lower clamp, and an ear tag holder that can clamp each other. The lower clamp has a receiving cavity on its clamping surface for accommodating the ear tag holder, which floats within the receiving cavity. The ear tag holder has an ear tag placement groove for positioning the carbon fiber ear tag. The carbon fiber ear tag includes an upper ear tag holding plate and a lower ear tag holding plate hinged at one end. The other end of the upper ear tag holding plate has a locking tongue with a detachable locking tongue tip. The lower ear tag holding plate is located in the ear tag placement groove and has a locking tongue engagement groove corresponding to the locking tongue. This kit can solve the problem of metal artifacts caused by animal ear tags in imaging scans.
[0004] Another technical solution is the "continuous label clamp" (patent number CN 104871993 B), which includes a pressure unit and a label pin conveying unit. The label pin conveying unit includes a compression spring. The compression spring causes each label in a set to be pushed and conveyed to the working position one by one during operation. The pressure unit applies pressure to a label at the working position, causing the tip of the label to pass through the object to be labeled and the fixing hole, completing one label marking and detaching from the label clamp. At this point, the pressure unit is released, and the label pin conveying unit sends the next label into the working position. This process is repeated continuously until the set of labels is used up, at which point the next set of labels is replaced. This continuous label clamp enables multiple label binding operations with a single label installation, has a simple structure, and improves efficiency.
[0005] Although the above-mentioned technical solutions meet the needs of labeling laboratory animals to a certain extent, they have the following technical problems:
[0006] 1. Low operational efficiency: The existing ear tag forceps require two people to operate during the tagging process, one person operates the ear tag forceps and the other person restrains the experimental animal, which is cumbersome and inefficient.
[0007] 2. Insufficient continuous marking capability: Existing ear tag pliers and continuous tag pliers cannot achieve continuous marking for a long time. Ear tags need to be installed intermittently, and continuous marking cannot be achieved for a long time.
[0008] 3. High human resource consumption: Due to the complexity of the operation process, it requires the cooperation of many people, which consumes a large amount of human resources.
[0009] 4. Existing ear tagging forceps may cause injury to laboratory animals during the tagging process, and without timely disinfection, wound infection is likely to occur, which may lead to the death of laboratory animals in severe cases. Utility Model Content

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0034] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, the experimental animal continuous automatic labeling device of this utility model includes: a lifting platform 1, which includes a base 11, an operating platform 13 and a lifting mechanism 12, wherein the lifting mechanism 12 is disposed between the base 11 and the operating platform 13 for adjusting the height of the operating platform 13;
[0035] A marking mechanism 2, mounted on an operating platform 13, is used to mark experimental animals. The marking mechanism 2 includes an outer cover 21 and a slide rail, a sliding carrier 22, an ear tag nesting post 23, and a marking assembly 24, all disposed inside the outer cover 21. The slide rail is fixedly mounted on the operating platform 13, the sliding carrier 22 is slidably mounted on the slide rail, and the ear tag nesting post 23 is mounted on the operating platform 13 for positioning the ear tag. One end of the ear tag nesting post 23 is connected to the sliding carrier 22 via a rotating shaft 26. The carrier 22 is rotatably connected; the marking assembly 24 is located at the other end of the ear tag nesting post 23 on the operating platform 13; there is a gap between the bottom of the ear tag nesting post 23 and the sliding carrier 22, and a limiting spring is provided at the bottom of the ear tag nesting post 23; the function of the limiting spring is to support the ear tag nesting post 23 so that it maintains a certain gap with the sliding carrier 22, and to ensure that the lowest end of the ear tag nesting post 23 near the marking assembly 24 remains flush, so that the ear tag needle 100 can be smoothly pushed into the marking assembly 24. When it is necessary to install the ear tag needle 100, manually rotate the ear tag nesting post 23 to be perpendicular to the sliding carrier 22, batch-load the ear tag needles onto the outside of the ear tag nesting post 23, and finally rotate the ear tag nesting post 23 to be parallel to the sliding carrier 22;
[0036] A disinfection device 3, installed on the operating platform 13, is used to disinfect the wounds of experimental animals after tagging. The disinfection device 3 includes a disinfectant storage tank 31 and an infusion pump 32. The outlet of the disinfectant storage tank 31 is connected to the inlet of the infusion pump 32, and the output of the infusion pump 32 is connected to a disinfection delivery pipe 33, which is connected to a retractable conduit.
[0037] The electrical control unit box 14 is located above the operating platform 13. The electrical control unit box 14 is electrically connected to the lifting mechanism 12, the marking component 24, and the disinfection device 3, and is used to control the lifting, marking, and disinfection actions of the operating platform 13.
[0038] Furthermore, the ear tag nesting post 23 is provided with ear tag pushing components 25 on both its side and bottom. Each ear tag pushing component 25 includes a guide groove 251, a pusher block 252, and a pusher spring 253. The pusher block 252 is slidably disposed within the guide groove 251. One end of the pusher block 252 is connected to the pusher spring 253, and the other end of the pusher spring 253 is fixed to the inner wall of the guide groove 251. Under the elastic force of the pusher spring 253, the pusher block 252 slides along the guide groove 251, thereby pushing the ear tag needle sequentially and continuously towards the marking mechanism 2.
[0039] Furthermore, the marking assembly 24 includes an upper marking clamp 241, a lower marking clamp 242, and an electromagnet. The upper marking clamp 241 and the lower marking clamp 242 are connected by a pin 243, and the pin 243 is equipped with a return torsion spring. The two ends of the return torsion spring abut against the upper marking clamp 241 and the lower marking clamp 242 respectively, so that the opening degree of the upper marking clamp 241 and the lower marking clamp 242 is consistent with the opening degree of the ear tag needle 100. An electromagnet is embedded in the lower marking clamp 242. By utilizing the working principle of the electromagnet, the force required to operate the traditional hand-held marking clamp is changed, replacing manual labor and making it simple and efficient.
[0040] Furthermore, both the upper marking clamp 241 and the lower marking clamp 242 are provided with limiting baffles on their inner walls to restrict the position of the ear tag needle 100 as it slides onto the upper marking clamp 241 and the lower marking clamp 242. When the ear tag needle 100 slides out from the ear tag nesting post 23, the ear tag needle 100 is pushed into the space between the upper marking clamp 241, the lower marking clamp 242, and the limiting baffles.
[0041] Furthermore, an ear tag limiting support is provided below the ear tag nesting post 23, and an ear tag limiting baffle is provided on the side below the ear tag nesting post 23 to ensure that the ear tag needle 100 does not get stuck on the ear tag nesting post 23. The ear tag limiting baffle is perpendicular to the upper marking clamp 241 and the lower marking clamp 242, and its function is to allow the ear tag needle 10 to enter the predetermined position to be marked after leaving the ear tag nesting post 23, preventing the ear tag needle 10 from shifting.
[0042] In this embodiment, the lowest end of the ear tag nesting post 23 is flush with the upper edge of the lower marking clamp 242, which makes it easier for the tag pusher block 252 to push the ear tag needle 100 into the cavity formed by the upper marking clamp 241, the lower marking clamp 242 and the ear tag limiting baffle.
[0043] Furthermore, the end of the marking clamp 242 is provided with an ear tag needle turning groove 2421 and an infrared sensor 2422 for sensing whether the experimental animal's ear is in position. The ear tag needle turning groove 2421 is located at the other end of the marking clamp 242 away from the pin 243, allowing the ear tag needle 100 to change direction along the groove, thus locking the ear tag needle 100. The infrared sensor 2422 is electrically connected to the electronic control unit box 14. Utilizing the principle of infrared sensing, the transmission method of electrical signals in traditional mechanical switches is changed, realizing automatic start of the electronic control system without additional operation, which is convenient, fast, and highly sensitive. Due to the rapid response speed of the electrical signal transmission, to avoid automatic marking before the experimental animal's ear is properly positioned, a delay controller is designed and installed in the circuit of the electronic control unit box 14. The delay time interval is adjustable, providing the operator with sufficient adjustment time and solving the hidden dangers of accidental injury and incorrect marking position.
[0044] Furthermore, the upper marking clamp 241 is equipped with a disinfectant nozzle 243, which is connected to the disinfection device 3 via a retractable conduit. In this embodiment, the disinfectant nozzle 243 is embedded in the upper end of the upper marking clamp 241, and the retractable conduit is attached and fixed to the back of the upper marking clamp 241. In this embodiment, the upper marking clamp 241 and the lower marking clamp 242 are in a flat, inverted "L" shape, with one end connected to the pin 243 and the other end equipped with a baffle. During the clamping process, the top of the ear tag needle 100 is stopped inside the baffle to prevent slippage. The baffle has an opening in the middle for embedding the disinfectant nozzle 243.
[0045] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 12 includes a first lifting arm 121, a second lifting arm 122, a third lifting arm 123, a fourth lifting arm 124, a connecting beam 125, and an electro-hydraulic actuator 126. The first lifting arm 121 and the second lifting arm 122 are connected by a pin shaft, and the third lifting arm 123 and the fourth lifting arm 124 are connected by a pin shaft. The connecting beam 125 is disposed between the second lifting arm 122 and the fourth lifting arm 124. The electro-hydraulic actuator 126 is disposed at the bottom of the operating platform 13, and the hydraulic rod of the electro-hydraulic actuator 126 is movably connected to the connecting beam 125.
[0046] When the electro-hydraulic actuator 126 is working, the extension and retraction of the hydraulic rod pulls the second lifting arm 122 and the fourth lifting arm 124, thereby driving the first lifting arm 121 and the fourth lifting arm 124 to raise and lower the operating platform 13. This allows for adjustment of the height of the operating platform 13 to meet the comfort and convenience of operators of different heights. After marking is completed, the electro-hydraulic actuator 126 retracts until the casters at the bottom of the operating platform 13 land. It continues to retract until the base 11 rises and fits against the bottom of the operating platform 13, at which point the lifting platform 1 can be pulled. This eliminates the need for manual handling, achieving a convenient and labor-saving effect.
[0047] Furthermore, the bottom ends of the first lifting arm 121, the second lifting arm 122, the third lifting arm 123, and the fourth lifting arm 124 are all provided with rollers 127, and the base 11 is provided with slide rails that match the rollers 127.
[0048] Furthermore, the operating platform 13 is also equipped with a lighting lamp 15, which is electrically connected to the electrical control unit box 14.
[0049] In this embodiment, the electrical control unit box 14 is equipped with an electromagnet control switch 141, a lighting switch 142, and a lifting control switch 143 for controlling the electric hydraulic unit 126. The electrical control unit box 14 contains an infrared sensor, a delay controller, and electronic components related to the electromagnet, including the circuit design and installation route.
[0050] In this embodiment, the outer cover 21 is a trapezoidal cube, covering the sliding carrier 22, the ear tag nesting post 23, and the marking assembly 24. It is detachable, and the upper cover can be lifted to facilitate the feeding of the marking needle 100. In this embodiment, the outer cover 21 is assembled from PVC transparent panels, which facilitates real-time observation of whether the upper marking clamp 241 and the lower marking clamp 242 are stuck with the mark, and can prevent debris from falling in.
[0051] Preferably, the ear tag nesting post 23 is shaped like a triangular prism, and its size and shape are the same as the inner circle shape of the ear tag pin 100 but slightly smaller, so that the ear tag pin 100 can be inserted more easily.
[0052] The continuous automatic labeling device for laboratory animals based on the above structure performs the following labeling process:
[0053] (1) Before tagging the experimental animals, adjust the sliding carrier 22 of the tagging mechanism 2 to an appropriate height for easy operation;
[0054] (2) After raising the ear tag nesting post 23, install the ear tag pin 100 onto the ear tag nesting post 23 in one go;
[0055] The prepared disinfectant is filled into the disinfectant storage tank 31. After everything is ready, the electrical control unit box 14 is powered on.
[0056] The operator can sit alone in front of the operating platform 13, adjust the operating platform 13 to a suitable height, and turn on the lighting 15 to supplement the working environment;
[0057] The operator places the ear of the experimental animal inside the ear tag needle turning groove 2421, which triggers the infrared sensor 2422 to capture the signal and transmit the signal to the delay controller. During the delay of 1-3 seconds, the operator adjusts the position of the experimental animal's ear to avoid misalignment.
[0058] After the delay ends, the electrical signal is simultaneously transmitted to the electromagnet and the infusion pump 32, triggering the electromagnet and the infusion pump 32 to work simultaneously. The electromagnet generates magnetic force, and the upper clamp 241 is attracted by the magnetic force and the upper clamp closes downward, thereby pressing and folding the ear tag between the upper clamp 241 and the lower clamp 242. During the folding process, the ear tag needle 100 penetrates the ear of the experimental animal and the ear tag needle through hole 101, and changes its direction in the ear tag needle turning groove 2421, finally locking and completing the automatic marking.
[0059] When the infusion pump 32 is activated, the disinfectant is sprayed onto the puncture wound in the ear of the experimental animal to achieve disinfection and prevent infection.
[0060] After tagging is completed, the experimental animal is removed. At this time, the infrared sensor 2422 does not capture the infrared signal generated by the experimental animal, and the signal transmission is terminated. The electromagnet and the infusion pump 32 are de-energized, the magnetic force disappears, and the tagging clamp 241 returns to its original position under the action of the reset torsion spring, realizing the automatic separation of the upper and lower clamps. At the same time, the infusion pump 32 stops working and the disinfectant spraying stops. When the upper clamp returns to its original position, the tag pusher 252 on the ear tag nesting post 23, under the action of the tag pusher spring 253, pushes the ear tag needle 100 at the front end of the ear tag nesting post 23 into the space formed by the tagging upper clamp 241, the tagging lower clamp 242 and the ear tag limiting baffle, preparing for the tagging of the next experimental animal.
[0061] (9) The first experimental animal has been tagged and the device is ready to be tagged the next experimental animal. When the experimental animal’s ear is placed above 2421 and the infrared sensor 2422 next to it, the next tagging operation can be started. In this way, the entire process can be repeated infinitely.
[0062] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
