Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] A specific embodiment of this utility model provides an adjustable multi-cage isolation and rearing device for laboratory animals, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the system includes a base plate 1, an isolation box 2, and a disinfection lamp 3. The base plate 1 is hollow inside to accommodate a collection box 4. Several holes 9 are provided at its top, communicating with the interior of the base plate 1 to allow animal feces and other waste to fall into the collection box 4. The collection box 4 has a circular handle 41 at its front end, allowing it to be pulled out from inside the base plate 1 for easy cleaning. First slide rails 5 are installed on opposite sides of the top of the base plate 1, providing a track for the sliding of the movable mounting slot 7.

[0024] The isolation box 2 is placed above the base plate 1, forming a cubic structure with the base plate 1. Its sides are made of transparent glass, allowing keepers to easily observe the animals' activity. The front of the isolation box 2 has a pull-out door 6 with a mesh structure for ventilation. Its movable end is equipped with a buckle 61; when unfolded, the movable end is pulled out from the pivot, at which point the spring or elastic band inside the pivot is twisted and stores force. Correspondingly, the side of the isolation box 2 has a connecting interface 62. The buckle 61 and the connecting interface 62 work together to detachably connect the door 6. When retracted, the spring's restoring force drives the pivot to rotate in the opposite direction, retracting the door 6 back onto the pivot, achieving "invisible" storage and ensuring the door 6 is airtight when closed, preventing animal escape and the spread of pathogens.

[0025] The isolation box 2 has multiple movable mounting slots 7, each with a sliding slider 71 at both ends. The sliding slider 71 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 5, allowing the movable mounting slots 7 to slide linearly on the first slide rail 5. The isolation plate 8 is made of transparent glass and is inserted and fixed to the movable mounting slots 7. The position of the isolation plate 8 can be flexibly adjusted by sliding the movable mounting slots 7, thereby changing the size and number of cages to meet the feeding needs of different numbers and sizes of laboratory animals.

[0026] The top of the isolation box 2 has two opposite sides equipped with second slide rails 10, on which disinfection lamps 3 are installed. The sliding blocks 11 at both ends of the disinfection lamps 3 are slidably connected to the second slide rails 10, which can drive the disinfection lamps 3 to move linearly along the second slide rails 10 to thoroughly disinfect and sterilize the inside of the isolation box 2, effectively killing germs and ensuring the hygiene and safety of the breeding environment. The top of the isolation box 2 is also equipped with a pull-out isolation panel 12. The opposite sides of the second slide rails 10 are equipped with sliding grooves, and the two sides of the pull-out isolation panel 12 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves. The pull-out isolation panel 12 is also made of transparent glass, and one side is equipped with a pull handle 121, which makes it convenient for the breeder to pull out or push in the isolation panel 12. When cleaning or disinfecting, the isolation panel 12 is pulled open so that the disinfection lamps 3 can work better. After disinfection, the isolation panel 12 is closed to enhance the sealing and isolation effect of the top of the isolation box 2.

[0027] In practical use, the adjustable multi-cage laboratory animal isolation and rearing device of this utility model allows for the adjustment of the position of the isolation plate 8 according to the type, number, and size of the laboratory animals by sliding the movable mounting groove 7 to divide the space into suitable cages. Feces and other waste generated by the animals within the cages fall into the collection box 4 through the holes 9 at the top of the base plate 1. The collection box 4 is periodically removed for cleaning and replacement. When disinfection is required, the pull-out isolation plate 12 is pulled out, and the disinfection lamp 3 is moved along the second slide rail 10 to thoroughly disinfect all corners inside the isolation box 2. After disinfection, the isolation plate 12 is closed. The pull-out box door 6 is opened when it is necessary to operate the animals, feed them, or clean the cages; otherwise, it remains closed to ensure a stable and safe isolation and rearing environment.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
