[0042] Example 2

[0043] Please see Figures 1-6 Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the following is obtained: the tail end positioning part includes two L-shaped plates 51, which are symmetrically arranged. The inner sides of the two L-shaped plates 51 are in sliding contact with the two sides of the fixed iron plate 1. Limiting grooves 52 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the bottom end of the fixed iron plate 1. Limiting blocks are slidably arranged inside the two limiting grooves 52.

An I-beam plate 56 is arranged parallel to the bottom of the fixed iron plate 1. The I-beam plate 56 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped plate 55 through a connecting piece. Trapezoidal plates 57 are arranged below the four wedge blocks 42 on both sides of the I-beam plate 56. Each of the four trapezoidal plates 57 has a sliding groove 571 on its inclined surface. The outer side of the I-beam plate 56 extends into the corresponding sliding groove 571 and slides in contact with its inner wall. The top surfaces of the four trapezoidal plates 57 are fixedly connected to the bottom surfaces of the four wedge blocks 42, respectively. A threaded rod 58 is threaded through the front and rear of the U-shaped plate 55. A resistance plate 59 is arranged on the rear side of the U-shaped plate 55.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the limb fixation mechanism 4 and the tail fixation structure 5 are linked together. The gaps in the limb adapter groove 11 facilitate the locking of the rat's limbs into the arc-shaped locking plate 45. At the same time, the design of the concave plate 53 and the convex plate 54 facilitates the quick locking of the rat's tail. Then, by pulling the U-shaped plate 55, the rat's limbs are extended under the action of the arc-shaped locking plate 45, which facilitates the exposure of the rat's abdomen and also avoids the situation where the rat's limbs are not firmly fixed when straightened.

[0046] In use, the rat can be fixed in various ways by means of a head fixing mechanism 3, a limb fixing mechanism 4, and a tail fixing structure 5. The head can be adjusted separately when a head test is required without affecting the overall fixation effect. The limb fixing mechanism 4 and the tail fixing structure 5 are linked together. The gaps in the limb fitting grooves 11 allow the rat's limbs to be easily engaged in the arc-shaped locking plate 45. The concave plate 53 and convex plate 54 design facilitate the quick engagement of the rat's tail. By pulling the U-shaped plate 55, the rat's limbs are unfolded under the action of the arc-shaped locking plate 45, which facilitates the exposure of the rat's abdomen and prevents the limbs from being straightened and not securely fixed. By rotating the threaded rod 58, the threaded rod 58 is pressed into contact with the resistance plate 59, ensuring the relative position of the U-shaped plate 55.

[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
