Position the scent diffusion hole 22 towards the direction the animal is likely to come into contact with, ensuring effective release of the attracting scent. Open the drawer 24 of the interference box 6, place in a scent source that the animal rejects (such as a citrus spice packet), and push the drawer back to secure it. Check that the rubber head 26 is properly sealed to ensure effective expulsion of the interfering scent when squeezed.
[0065] II. Medication administration stage
[0066] The control panel 3 starts the servo motor 4, which drives the threaded sleeve 17 to move the threaded rod 18 backward (away from the direction of the dispensing tube). The piston 27 creates negative pressure in the feeding tube 11. Under atmospheric pressure, the liquid medicine in the storage bottle 10 flows into the feeding tube 11 through the suction tube 13 and the inlet check valve 14 until the preset mark (e.g., 5mL) is reached. The amount of medicine can be observed in real time through the transparent side wall and the mark of the feeding tube 11.
[0067] Holding the handle 2 (with anti-slip texture for stable grip), bring the dispensing tube 9 and bait box 8 close to the animal's mouth and nose. The bait releases its fragrance through the scent diffusion hole 22, attracting the animal to actively lick or open its mouth to contact the bait box 8, reducing its wariness. When the animal opens its mouth or bites the bait box, set the dosage via the control panel 3 and start the servo motor 4 to rotate forward. The threaded sleeve 17 drives the threaded rod 18 forward, pushing the piston 27 to slowly push the liquid medicine in the feeding tube 11 through the dispensing tube 9 and the one-way valve 28. Observe the scale on the feeding tube to ensure accurate dosage (error ≤ 0.1 mL). The one-way valve 28 prevents backflow of the liquid medicine, ensuring dosage accuracy.
[0068] After the drug is administered, quickly squeeze the rubber head 26 on top of the interference box 6. The internal air is compressed, and the interfering odor (such as irritating gas) in the drawer 24 is sprayed out through the vent pipe 25.
[0069] Animals will release their grip due to aversion to the odor, thus avoiding obstruction or damage to their jaws from continuous biting.
