Detailed Implementation
[0037] 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.
[0038] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0039] A mouse tail restraint device includes a mouse holding frame 100 for holding mice after experiments, an experimental operating table 101 and a support 102 respectively located on both sides of the holding frame, and further includes:
[0040] The transfer unit 2 includes a switching component 22 for limiting the tail of a mouse and transferring it from the upper region of the support 102 to the upper region of the experimental operating table 101, and a clamping component 21 located at one end of the switching component 22 for rotating and positioning the switching component 22.
[0041] The landing unit 1, located on the upper end of the support 102, is used to simultaneously import multiple mice into the switching component 22.
[0042] It should be noted that: multiple mice are placed in the slots corresponding to the landing unit 1, with their heads facing the transfer unit 2. The mice are then driven into the switching component 22. The clamping component 21 is removed from one end of the switching component 22, and the switching component 22 is rotated. The switching component 22 transfers the mice from the exit end of the landing unit 1 to the experimental operating table 101. At this time, the tail of the mouse is limited by the switching component 22, completing the experimental operation on the mouse. After the operation is completed, the clamping component 21 is removed from one end of the switching component 22 again, and the switching component 22 is rotated again, so that the switching component 22 moves the mouse to the upper opening of the mouse holding frame 100, so that the mouse is placed into the mouse holding frame 100. This achieves the effect of enabling batch experimental operations and limiting the tail of the mouse during the experimental operation.
[0043] As an improvement, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, the login unit 1 includes:
[0044] The base plate 11 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support 102;
[0045] Partitions 12 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the base plate 11 at equal intervals, and the gaps between adjacent partitions 12 are used to accommodate mice.
[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the login unit 1 further includes:
[0047] The guide rod 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the partition 12 located in the middle of the upper end of the base plate 11. The guide rod 13 is in the shape of an inverted U.
[0048] The guide groove 131 extends through the interior of the upper end of the guide rod 13;
[0049] Push plate 14 is slidably connected within the gap of partition plate 12, and the upper part of push plate 14 is located within the gap between guide rod 13 and partition plate 12;
[0050] Push rod 15 is fixedly connected to the upper end of push plate 14 and located inside guide groove 131, and is used to adjust the position of push plate 14 along the extension direction of partition 12.
[0051] As an improvement, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, the clamping assembly 21 includes:
[0052] The fixing block 211 is placed on the ground via the support rod 212. The fixing block 211 has a through hole 2111 for guiding the locking shaft 213.
[0053] A rotating shaft 214 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed block 211 at one end, and is used to switch the angle of the switching component 22. One end of the rotating shaft 214 is provided with multiple locking holes 2141.
[0054] The retaining shaft 213 is slidably inserted into the fixed block 211. One end of the retaining shaft 213 is inserted into one of the retaining holes 2141 for positioning the rotating shaft 214.
[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the switching component 22 includes:
[0056] The rotating frame 221 has four sets of rotating frames arranged at equal angles around the rotating shaft 214 and corresponding to the card holes 2141. The rotating frame 221 has multiple rows along the extension direction of the rotating shaft 214 and corresponding to the gaps between the partition plates 12.
[0057] A cylinder 222 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating frame 221 and is used to house the mouse.
[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the lower end of the cylinder 222 is provided with a guide port 2221 near the opening, and a threaded hole 2222 is provided on one side of the guide port 2221;
[0059] A baffle 223 for limiting the position of the mouse inside the cylinder 222 is slidably inserted inside the guide port 2221;
[0060] A screw 224 is threaded inside the threaded hole 2222. One end of the screw 224 is pressed against one side of the baffle 223 to limit the position of the baffle 223.
[0061] Among them, a linkage rod 225 is fixedly connected between adjacent baffles 223, which is used to drive the adjacent baffles 223 to rise and fall.
[0062] It should be noted that: in the specific implementation process of this utility model, if... Figure 1-3 As shown, initially, multiple mice are placed in the gaps between the partitions 12, with the mice's heads facing the cylinder 222. Push rod 15 is pushed along guide groove 131, and push rod 15 drives push plate 14 to move along partition 12, so that the mice in the gaps between partitions 12 are pushed into the cylinder 222. Baffle 223 is pushed along guide opening 2221, so that the opening of cylinder 222 is partially closed. Rotate screw 224, and screw 224 presses baffle 223 tightly under the action of thread tangential force between screw and threaded hole 2222. At this time, the tail of the mouse is limited by the opening area between baffle 223 and cylinder 222, completing the limitation work of the mouse tail, ensuring that when performing experimental operations on the mouse tail in the future, there is no need to hold the mouse tail by hand, which makes it convenient to perform experimental operations on the mouse tail.
[0063] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, then, the locking shaft 213 is pulled along the through hole 2111, so that the locking shaft 213 is pulled out from the locking hole 2141. The rotating shaft 214 is rotated, and the rotating shaft 214 drives the cylinder 222 containing the mouse to rotate from one side of the landing unit 1 to the experimental operating table 101 through the rotating frame 221 for experimental operation. Each time, multiple mice are transferred, thus realizing the effect of batch experimental operation on mice.
[0064] like Figure 5 As shown, during the experimental operation, the clamping shaft 213 needs to be inserted into the clamping hole 2141 through the through hole 2111 to ensure that the rotating shaft 214 is positioned and to prevent the cylinder 222 from shifting position during the mouse experiment.
[0065] like Figure 1 , Figure 6 As shown, after the experiment is completed, the locking shaft 213 is pulled out from the locking hole 2141 again, and then the rotating shaft 214 is rotated. The rotating shaft 214 drives the cylinder 222 located on one side of the experimental operating table 101 to rotate through the rotating frame 221, so that the cylinder 222 containing the mice rotates from one side of the experimental operating table 101 to the upper opening of the mouse holding frame 100. The screw 224 is rotated so that the screw 224 separates from one side of the baffle 223. The baffle 223 is pulled along the guide port 2221 so that the cylinder 222 is fully opened. At this time, the mice in the cylinder 222 are released into the mouse holding frame 100, completing the batch release of mice.
