[0011] Beneficial effects

[0012] This invention provides an auxiliary device for tail vein injection in medical laboratory mice. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0013] 1.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] This utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0023] Figures 1-5 The first embodiment is shown: a medical experimental mouse tail vein injection auxiliary device, including a base 1, a fixing frame 12 installed near the edge of the top of the base 1, a fixing component 2 provided on the top of the base 1, and an observation component 3 provided on one side of the outer wall of the fixing frame 12; the fixing component 2 includes a lower fixing plate 21 and an upper fixing plate 24, the upper fixing plate 24 is disposed above the lower fixing plate 21, a spring 28 is installed on the top surface of the upper fixing plate 24, the top end of the spring 28 is fixedly connected to the inner top surface of the fixing frame 12, and the spring 28 can generate a downward pushing force on the upper fixing plate 24; the lower fixing plate 21 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the base 1, a plurality of straight plates 22 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the top of the lower fixing plate 21, a lower arc-shaped plate 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the straight plate 22, a plurality of L-shaped plates 25 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the bottom of the upper fixing plate 24, a plurality of upper arc-shaped plates 26 are fixedly connected to one side of the L-shaped plates 25, each upper arc-shaped plate 26 is staggered with each lower arc-shaped plate 23, and can pass through the gap between two adjacent lower arc-shaped plates 23. A sliding column 27 is also installed on the top of the upper fixed plate 24. The sliding column 27 slides through the inner top surface of the fixed frame 12 and extends upward. A pull block 29 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding column 27.

[0024] Specifically, in the initial state, the spring 28 applies a downward pushing force to the upper fixing plate 24, causing the upper arc plate 26 and the lower arc plate 23 to be in a relatively close position. When it is necessary to fix the mouse, the operator pulls the pull block 29, and the sliding column 27 will drive the upper fixing plate 24 to move upward against the pushing force of the spring 28. The upper arc plate 26 also moves upward and gradually separates completely from the lower arc plate 23. At this time, enough space is formed between them for placing the mouse. After the mouse is placed on the lower arc plate 23, the operator releases the pull block 29. At this time, the spring 28 loses the external upward pulling force, restores its deformation, and continues to apply a downward pushing force to the upper fixing plate 24. The upper fixing plate 24 moves downward under the action of the spring 28, and the upper arc plate 26 also moves downward, cooperating with the lower arc plate 23 to lock the mouse's body between the two, thus fixing the mouse.

[0025] Furthermore, the upper arc-shaped plate 26 and the lower arc-shaped plate 23 are staggered mainly to avoid interference when they are close to each other. At the same time, they can fix mice of different sizes, thus improving practicality.

[0026] In this embodiment, suction cups 11 are provided at the four corners of the bottom surface of the base 1, and a U-shaped frame 13 is installed on the outer surface of the fixing frame 12 away from the fixing component 2.

[0027] Specifically, when the device is placed on the experimental table, pressing the device causes the air inside the suction cup 11 to be squeezed out, and the suction cup 11 will adhere tightly to the experimental table, thereby improving the overall stability of the device.

[0028] Figures 1-5 The second embodiment is shown. The main difference from the first embodiment is that the observation component 3 includes a slide rod 31 that is slidably disposed inside the U-shaped frame 13. A connecting block 33 is installed on the side surface of the slide rod 31 facing the fixing component 2. A ring frame 38 is installed on the side surface of the connecting block 33. A magnifying glass 39 is installed on the inner wall of the ring frame 38. Multiple LED lights 310 are installed at the bottom of the ring frame 38.

[0029] Specifically, multiple LED lights 310 installed at the bottom of the ring frame 38 are used to provide illumination. When the LED lights 310 are turned on, the light will evenly illuminate the mouse's tail, reducing the interference of shadows and making the veins more visible, making it easier for operators to identify them.

[0030] Furthermore, the magnifying glass 39 can magnify the mouse's tail, making the originally thin and difficult-to-see veins more clearly visible, thereby improving the success rate of injection and reducing unnecessary harm to the mouse.

[0031] In this embodiment, a battery slot 34 is provided on the top of the connecting block 33, and a lithium battery 35 is provided inside the battery slot 34. The lithium battery 35 is electrically connected to the LED light 310. A cover 36 is provided on the battery slot 34. A switch button 37 is also provided on the top of the connecting block 33. The switch button 37 is electrically connected to the lithium battery 35.

[0032] Specifically, the lithium battery 35 is placed in the battery slot 34 at the top of the connecting block 33. The cover 36 can prevent the lithium battery 35 from falling out or being disturbed by the outside world. The lithium battery 35 is electrically connected to the LED light 310 to provide it with the power required to emit light.

[0033] Furthermore, the switch button 37 is electrically connected to the lithium battery 35, which serves to control the on / off state of the circuit. By pressing the switch button 37, current can flow from the lithium battery 35 to the LED light 310, causing the LED light 310 to light up.

[0034] In this embodiment, a straight groove 32 is provided on the side surface of the slide bar 31 facing away from the fixed frame 12, and a locking screw 4 is threaded through one side surface of the U-shaped frame 13, with one end of the locking screw 4 abutting against the straight groove 32.

[0035] Specifically, when the position of the observation component needs to be adjusted, the operator first loosens the locking screw 4, allowing one end to gradually disengage from the contact state with the straight groove 32. At this time, the slide rod 31 is no longer restricted by the locking screw 4 and can slide freely within the U-shaped frame 13. The operator can then move the slide rod 31 back and forth according to actual needs, driving components such as the magnifying glass 39 and the LED light 310 to the appropriate position. After the observation component is adjusted to the ideal position, the operator rotates the locking screw 4 in the opposite direction, providing favorable conditions for accurate observation of the mouse tail vein.

[0036] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.

[0037] Working principle: When in use, by pulling the lever 29, the pushing force of the spring 28 is overcome, causing the upper fixed plate 24 to move the upper arc plate 26 upward a certain distance, and the upper arc plate 26 is completely separated from the lower arc plate 23. At this time, the mouse is placed on the lower arc plate 23, and then the lever 29 is released. Under the pushing force of the spring 28, the upper arc plate 26 moves downward, which, together with the lower arc plate 23, can fix the mouse, effectively avoiding the problem of the mouse being difficult to stabilize due to its lively and active nature, so that the mouse cannot struggle. Then, the operator straightens the mouse's tail with one hand, so that the mouse's tail is placed below the magnifying glass 39.

[0038] During injection, turning on switch button 37 illuminates the mouse tail with LED light 310, providing better lighting conditions for the operator to locate the vein. At the same time, the magnifying glass 39 allows the operator to more accurately locate the vein. Then, the other hand operates the syringe to inject the drug into the vein in the mouse tail.
