Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal transport cage technology, and in particular to an animal weighing and transport cage device. Background Technology

[0002] The primary function of animal transport cages is to safely and conveniently transport live animals, ensuring they are protected from injury, escape, or external disturbance during transport. Transport cages reduce animal stress and prevent animal attacks on people or damage to other property. They are suitable for pet travel, veterinary transport, laboratory animal management, and rescue relocation, serving as an important tool for animal welfare and public safety.

[0003] 1. In the process of rescuing animals, it is necessary to transport and weigh them. Every bit of time saved in the rescue work increases the chances of the rescued animals surviving. In the current technology, some transport devices can only transfer the rescued animals during use, but cannot weigh them during the process. The animals still need to be weighed after being transferred to the rescue location, which wastes a certain amount of time.

[0004] 2. After the animal has been treated, it is necessary to isolate it separately in order to restore its health. During the isolation process, the animal needs to be given medication and observed. However, the animal is prone to stress during the medication process, which makes it difficult for the operators to administer the medication. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an animal weighing and transfer cage device that can weigh animals during the transfer process and can also fix animals in place for better medication administration.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, an animal weighing and transfer cage device is provided, including a storage device, a fixing device at the front of the storage device, railings on the left and right sides of the storage device, a support net at the bottom of the storage device, a telescopic rotating plate at the rear of the storage device, weighing sensors at the front and rear sides of the bottom of the storage device, a weighing instrument at the front right side of the storage device, and a moving device below the weighing sensors. The storage device includes a storage frame for collecting animal urine, the fixing device includes a clamp for holding the animal's head, and the moving device includes casters for moving the entire device.

[0007] According to the aforementioned animal weighing and transfer cage device, the storage device includes a frame, a storage frame slidably connected to the lower part of the frame, a snap-fit ​​handle fixedly connected to the front of the storage frame, a rotating frame rotatably connected to the rear of the frame, a fixed frame fixedly connected to the rear of the frame, and a locking rod slidably connected inside the fixed frame.

[0008] According to the animal weighing and transfer cage device, the frame is fixedly connected to the railing, the frame is fixedly connected to the support net, the frame is rotatably connected to the telescopic rotating plate, the frame is fixedly connected to the weighing sensor, and the frame weighing instrument is fixedly connected.

[0009] According to the animal weighing and transfer cage device, the fixing device includes a connecting frame, a slider is slidably connected inside the connecting frame, an opening is provided in the middle of the slider, fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the slider, a threaded rod is threadedly connected to the middle of the fixing block, a clamping block is rotatably connected to the middle of the threaded rod, limit rods are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the clamping block, and locking blocks are fixedly connected to the left and right sides in front of the slider.

[0010] According to the animal weighing and transfer cage device, the connecting frame is located in front of the frame and is fixedly connected to the frame.

[0011] According to the animal weighing and transfer cage device, the limiting rod is slidably connected to the fixing block, the clamping block is slidably connected to the slider, and the locking block abuts against the connecting frame.

[0012] According to the animal weighing and transfer cage device, the mobile device includes a mobile frame, with casters installed at the four lower corners of the mobile frame, a telescopic rod rotatably connected to the front of the mobile frame, and a storage compartment fixedly connected to the rear of the mobile frame.

[0013] According to the animal weighing and transfer cage device, the movable frame is fixedly connected to the weighing sensor, the telescopic rod is engaged with the snap-fit ​​handle, and the storage compartment abuts against the telescopic rotating plate.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: 1. Compared with existing technologies, this device incorporates weighing sensors to measure animal weight. These sensors are connected to a weighing instrument via wires, allowing data from both the front and rear sensors to be integrated and displayed on the instrument. A telescopic rod is included; extending the rod and pulling the handle at the front of the rod, along with casters at the four corners of the frame, enables the entire device to move, thus facilitating animal movement. This allows for weighing of the animal during transfer.

[0015] 2. Compared with the existing technology, by rotating the threaded rods on the left and right sides, the clamping blocks on the left and right sides move towards the center. Under the clamping of the clamping blocks on the left and right sides, the animal's head can be clamped and fixed, thus preparing for subsequent administration of medication to the animal. This allows for better fixation of the animal and more efficient administration of medication. Attached Figure Description
