Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of exercise physiology research technology, and in particular to a weighted ladder climbing resistance training device for rats and mice. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, rats and mice are widely used as experimental animal models in exercise physiology research, and weighted ladder climbing training is an important means of assessing muscle function, metabolic regulation, and neuromuscular coordination. However, existing training devices have many technical shortcomings: 1. Difficulty in controlling animal behavior: Approximately 35% of experimental animals exhibit lethargic behavior, leading to data collection failures. While international solutions such as fully automated tactile stimulation systems are effective, the price of a single system exceeds 5,000 yuan, making widespread adoption difficult.

[0003] 2. Unstable load-bearing fixation: Traditional tape fixation methods have a detachment rate of over 15% and are prone to causing skin damage to animals. While the electromagnetic locking system used in high-end laboratories is stable, its maintenance costs are high.

[0004] 3. Inconvenient adjustment of training parameters: Angle adjustment relies on bolt tightening, and each operation takes more than 5 minutes, seriously affecting experimental efficiency. Although the electric actuator system is convenient, it has a price threshold of over 3,000 yuan.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new resistance training device for rats and mice to climb ladders under load to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the brush structure of the weighted ladder climbing resistance training device for rats and mice provided by this utility model; Figure 4This is a schematic diagram of the load-bearing mechanism of the weight-bearing ladder resistance training device for rats and mice provided by this utility model. The weight-bearing ladder resistance training device for rats and mice includes: a base plate 1; a support column 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1; a cave-like cover 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the support column 2; multiple biomimetic caves 4 are provided on the outer side of the cave-like cover 3; multiple climbing ladders 5 are hinged to the bottom of the cave-like cover 3; a placement plate 7 is hinged to the bottom of each climbing ladder 5; a vertical guide tube 9 is fixedly installed on the placement plate 7; a sliding rod 10 is slidably installed inside the vertical guide tube 9; and a slider is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding rod 10. 12. A brake rod 11 is slidably installed inside the slide rod 10. The brake rod 11 passes through the slide rod 10. A toothed plate 13 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the slide rod 10. A spring 14 sleeved on the outside of the brake rod 11 is fixedly installed between the top of the toothed plate 13 and the slider 12. A rack 15 is fixedly installed at the top of the top plate 1. The toothed plate 13 meshes with the rack 13. Guide bars 16 are provided on both sides of the slider 12. The slider 12 is slidably installed between the two guide bars 16.

[0018] Each of the two guide bars 16 has a groove on one side that is close to each other, and the two sides of the slider 12 are respectively slidably installed in the two grooves.

[0019] The climbing ladder 5 is equipped with a sliding plate 6.

[0020] The placement plate 7 is equipped with a reused ultrasonic generator 18.

[0021] It also includes a brush 17, which is used to stimulate the mouse as it climbs the climbing ladder 15.

[0022] It also includes a load-bearing mechanism 18, which includes a waist strap 1801, a connecting rope 1802 and a plurality of magnetic blocks 1803, which are connected in sequence.

[0023] The weighted climbing resistance training device for rats and mice provided by this utility model is made of non-magnetic materials. A scale for visually indicating the tilt angle of the climbing ladder 5 can be set on the top of the guide strip 16.

[0024] The working principle of the weighted ladder climbing resistance training device for rats and mice provided by this utility model is as follows: In use, pull up the brake lever 11. The brake lever 11 moves the toothed plate 13 upward, and the spring 14 is compressed. When the toothed plate 13 disengages from the rack 15, stop pulling up the brake lever 11. Then, move the brake lever 11 horizontally. The brake lever 11 moves the slide bar 10. The slide bar 10 moves the slider 12 on the guide bar 16. The slide bar 10 moves the vertical guide tube 9 and slides relative to the vertical guide tube 9. The vertical guide tube 9 moves the placement plate 7. The placement plate 7 moves the climbing ladder 5 between the bionic cavity 3 and the placement plate 7, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the climbing ladder 5 until the climbing ladder 5 rotates to the required angle. Then, keep the slide bar 10 stationary and release the brake lever 11. Under the elastic force of the spring 14, push the toothed plate 13 downward, so that the toothed plate 13 re-engages with the rack 15. At this time, the fixing work after adjusting the tilt angle of the climbing ladder 5 is completed. Then, resistance training experiments involving weighted climbing stairs can be conducted on mice and rats: The waist strap 1801 is tied to the waist of the mouse used in the experiment, and then the connecting rope 1802 is set on the back of the mouse. Then, the number of magnetic blocks 1803 is set according to the experimental needs. Then, the mouse with the weight-bearing mechanism 18 is placed on the placement board 17. The mouse is stimulated in three modes by the cave-like cover 3, the bionic cave 4, the reusable ultrasonic generator 8 and the brush 17, so as to realize the resistance training experiment of weight-bearing climbing ladder for mice and rats.

[0025] Compared with related technologies, the weighted ladder climbing resistance training device for rats and mice provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This invention provides a weighted climbing resistance training device for rats and mice. It employs a cave-like enclosure 3 design to create a training space close to their natural habitat. Combined with a trimodal stimulation system consisting of a reusable ultrasonic generator 8 and a brush 17, it effectively improves training compliance and makes behavioral data collection more reliable. Through the precise meshing system of the toothed plate 13 and rack 14, along with the braking mechanism of the spring 14, the tilt angle of the climbing ladder 5 can be quickly adjusted and stably locked. The precise cooperation between the guide bar 16 and the slider 12 ensures the smoothness of the adjustment process. The scale markings further enhance the visualization and accuracy of parameter settings, making experimental condition control more standardized. The combination of the waist strap 1801 and the connecting rope 1802 improves the comfort of the rats under load. The modular magnetic block configuration 1803 allows for flexible adjustment of the load intensity according to experimental needs, providing a gradient load scheme for resistance training at different stages and ensuring training effectiveness.
