Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular to a cage box device with a replaceable cage bottom for rats. Background Technology

[0002] Mice are frequently used in scientific experiments, the production and testing of pharmaceuticals and biological products, and other scientific experiments. In order to ensure the living environment of mice and the stability of experimental data, researchers usually use cages to raise mice. Existing cages are usually composed of a cage body.

[0003] For example, utility model application CN202022727914.1 discloses a cage for laboratory mice, specifically including a base and a box body. The center of the base protrudes upwards, forming an activity area for the mice's daily activities on its upper surface. The perimeter of the protrusion forms a concave bottom, creating an excrement absorption area. The box body covers the base to form the cage. Bedding material is laid flat on the upper surface of the base, with the upper surface of the bedding material being planar. The thickness of the bedding material in the excrement absorption area is greater than that in the activity area. This utility model utilizes the upward protrusion of the center of the base to form an activity area on its upper surface, and the concave bottom formed around the protrusion to create an excrement absorption area. This allows bedding material to accumulate in the excrement absorption area, effectively absorbing excrement. The flat surface of the activity area is suitable for the mice's daily activities. The overall bedding material required for the cage is significantly less than that of ordinary cages, while ensuring good absorption. The design is also simple to manufacture. However, with the current traditional cage system, when it is necessary to change the bedding in the cage, the mice must first be captured and transferred to a new cage with clean bedding. At the same time, the cage lid must be moved and the original cage must be removed from the cage frame. During this process, the mice are prone to stress reactions due to contact, and there may be cases of mice escaping and cage cards being lost. In addition, when cleaning a dirty cage, the entire cage needs to be scrubbed, which further increases the workload of the operators and is quite inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a cage box device with a replaceable cage bottom for mice, which has the feature of being able to quickly replace the bedding without contacting the mice.

[0005] This utility model provides a cage box device with a replaceable cage bottom for rats, specifically including: a cage box body; a cage bottom body slidably connected to the bottom end face of the cage box body; a separation baffle inserted into the lower part of the cage box body; the separation baffle being disposed on the upper part of the cage bottom body; a fixing seat fixedly connected to the center of the rear part of the separation baffle; a limiting bracket fixedly connected to the center of the rear part of the top surface of the cage box body; the limiting bracket and the fixing seat being aligned; two limiting brackets symmetrically fixedly connected to the front part of the cage box body; two locking seats symmetrically fixedly connected to the front part of the cage bottom body; the two locking seats being respectively inserted into the two limiting brackets.

[0007] Optionally, the front part of the cage body is symmetrically slidably connected to two sliding plates; a set of connecting springs is fixedly connected to the top surface of each of the two sliding plates; the ends of the two sets of connecting springs are fixedly connected to the cage body; a locking block is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of each of the two sliding plates; the two locking blocks are slidably connected to two limit stops respectively; the ends of the two locking blocks are respectively inserted into two locking seats.

[0008] Optionally, a set of mounting seats is fixedly connected to the front end face of the cage body and the rear end face of the cage bottom body; a sealing cover is rotatably connected to each of the two sets of mounting seats.

[0009] Optionally, a set of control torsion springs is symmetrically fixed to the outside of each of the two sealing baffle shafts; the ends of the two sets of control torsion springs are respectively fixedly connected to the two sets of mounting bases.

[0010] Optionally, a fixing bracket is fixedly connected to the outside of each of the two sealing baffles; a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the front end face of the cage body and the rear end face of the cage bottom body; a set of guide rods is slidably connected inside each of the two fixing plates; a fixing block is fixedly connected to the end of each of the two sets of guide rods; the two fixing blocks are respectively inserted into the two fixing brackets; a set of return springs is fixedly connected to the outside of each of the two fixing blocks; the ends of the two sets of return springs are respectively fixedly connected to the outside of the two fixing plates. Beneficial effects

[0011] In this application, when changing the bedding, a separation baffle is inserted into the cage body to separate the cage bottom body, thus isolating the mice from it. While the separation baffle is inserted, a limiting bracket engages with the limiting bracket to secure the baffle. Then, a sliding lever is moved to disengage the locking block from the locking bracket, releasing the restriction on the cage bottom body. Only then can the cage bottom body be removed to replace the bedding. This eliminates the need for direct capture or contact with the mice during bedding replacement, effectively reducing stress on the mice and lowering the risk of bites to operators, making the operation safer and gentler. The separation baffle automatically locks in place after insertion, making operation simple and quick, and effectively improving the convenience of the cage device.

[0012] When the separation baffle is not inserted into the cage body, the sealing baffle will block the slot reserved for the separation baffle on the cage body to prevent mice from escaping from the reserved slot. After the sealing baffle is flipped up, the fixing block will insert into the fixing bracket to fix the sealing baffle, making it easier to insert the separation baffle. The sealing baffle will automatically block the reserved slot, structurally blocking the possible escape path of the mice and ensuring the safety of the animals during feeding and operation. No manual adjustment is required when resetting, saving effort and worry. The operation process of inserting the baffle and resetting the baffle is smoother and simpler, effectively improving the practicality of the cage device. Attached Figure Description
