[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] This invention provides an acupuncture auxiliary device for mouse experiments. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:

[0014] 1. This acupuncture auxiliary device for mouse experiments uses a positioning component within the device. When the mouse tail is moved to the middle of the upper side of the movable seat, a bidirectional screw drives two sets of clamping frames to tightly hold both sides of the mouse tail, achieving horizontal positioning. A unidirectional screw pushes a limiting frame down along the through groove within the clamping frame, clamping the mouse tail in the middle of the upper side of the movable seat, achieving vertical positioning. Moving a movable block on the slide rail causes the acupuncture needle to be inserted into the mouse tail along the axis, providing precise positioning and clamping of the mouse tail and preventing deviation during insertion.

[0015] 2. This acupuncture auxiliary device for mouse experiments, by setting a storage component inside the device, allows the mouse to be guided into the storage shell through the feeding groove on the back of the storage shell by holding the mouse by its tail. The mouse's tail is then moved through the movable groove on the upper side of the storage shell to the slotted end. The limiting plate is inserted into the inner side of the storage shell and slid to bring the limiting plate close to the mouse's head. After the limiting plate has moved to the appropriate position, the positioning pin is moved to insert into the positioning groove on the positioning strip, thereby limiting the position of the limiting plate. This allows the user to store and limit mice of the corresponding size, preventing the acupuncture operation from being affected by the mouse moving around. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.

[0022] See Figures 1-4 This utility model provides the following two technical solutions:

[0023] First embodiment: An acupuncture auxiliary device for mouse experiments, including a mounting plate 1. An auxiliary component for mouse acupuncture experiments is installed on the upper end of the mounting plate 1. The auxiliary component includes: a storage component 2, which is set at the upper rear end of the mounting plate 1 for storing mice and exporting their tails; and a positioning component 3, which is set at the upper front end of the mounting plate 1 for positioning the mouse tail and guiding acupuncture. The positioning component 3 includes a movable seat 31 slidably connected to the upper front end of the mounting plate 1. A bidirectional screw 32 is rotatably connected to the middle of the upper side of the movable seat 31 along the X-axis. A set of clamping frames 33 that are slidably connected to the movable seat 31 and used to horizontally limit the mouse tail are threaded to both sides of the bidirectional screw 32. A sliding frame 34 is installed on the upper side of the movable seat 31 near the outer ends of the two sets of clamping frames 33. A unidirectional screw 35 is vertically threaded to the middle of the sliding frame 34. A limiting frame 36 that is rotatably connected to the bottom of the unidirectional screw 35 and is slidably connected to the two sets of clamping frames 33 and used to vertically limit the mouse tail is rotatably connected to the bottom of the unidirectional screw 35. An upper needle component 37 for acupuncture of the mouse tail is provided on the front side of the movable seat 31.

[0024] A first lever is installed on the left side of the bidirectional screw 32, and a second lever is installed on the top of the unidirectional screw 35. Each of the two sets of clamping frames 33 has a set of limiting grooves vertically arranged and slidably connected to the limiting frame 36. Two sets of sliding rods are installed on the lower side of the movable seat 31 and slidably connected to the two sets of clamping frames 33. Two types of limiting rods are installed on the upper side of the mounting plate 1, and the mounting plate 1 is slidably connected to the movable seat 31 via the limiting rods. The upper needle component 37 includes a slide rail 371 installed in the middle of the front side of the movable seat 31. A movable block 372 is slidably connected inside the slide rail 371. An acupuncture needle 373 is installed in the middle of the movable block 372. A circular groove is provided in the middle of the movable block 372 and slidably connected to the acupuncture needle 373. A first bolt 374 for positioning the acupuncture needle 373 is threadedly connected to the left side of the movable block 372, and a second bolt 375 for positioning is installed at the bottom of the movable block 372.

[0025] Move the mouse's tail to the upper middle of the movable seat 31. The first lever drives the bidirectional screw 32 to rotate, which in turn moves the two sets of clamping frames 33 along the limiting grooves in the limiting frame 36 toward both sides of the mouse's tail, so that the two sets of clamping frames 33 tightly clamp the sides of the mouse's tail. The second lever drives the unidirectional screw 35 to rotate, which pushes the limiting frame 36 down along the through groove in the clamping frame 33, so that the limiting frame 36 clamps the mouse's tail in the upper middle of the movable seat 31. To achieve the positioning of the mouse tail, the movable block 372 on the slide rail 371 is moved, and the movable block 372 drives the acupuncture needle 373 to be inserted into the mouse tail along the axis. After the acupuncture needle 373 is inserted, the second bolt 375 is moved so that the head of the second bolt 375 is in close contact with the bottom of the slide rail 371, which plays a certain role in preventing the movable block 372 from falling off. By moving the first bolt 374, the first bolt 374 is separated from the acupuncture needle 373, which makes it easy to replace the acupuncture needle 373.

[0026] The main difference between the second implementation method and the first implementation method is that:

[0027] The storage component 2 includes a storage shell 21 disposed on the upper rear end of the mounting plate 1 for storing mice. The storage shell 21 has a slot 22 vertically provided on the rear side near the positioning component 3 for the mouse tail to be discharged. The upper side of the storage shell 21 has a movable groove that communicates with the slot 22. The storage shell 21 has a feeding groove on the rear side. The storage shell 21 has a limiting plate 23 slidably connected to the inner side of the storage shell 21 near the feeding groove. The limiting plate 23 has a ventilation groove with an embedded ventilation mesh 24 in the middle. The top two sides of the limiting plate 23 are threaded with positioning pins 25. The top of the storage shell 21 has positioning strips 26 on the top two sides near the limiting plate 23.

[0028] The positioning strip 26 is provided with several positioning grooves that match the positioning pin 25. The upper edge of the limiting plate 23 is provided with a number of protrusions that are slidably connected to the inner side of the storage shell 21. Holding the mouse by its tail, the mouse is introduced into the storage shell 21 through the feeding groove on the rear side of the storage shell 21. The mouse tail is moved through the upper movable groove of the storage shell 21 to the end of the slot 22. The limiting plate 23 is inserted into the inner side of the storage shell 21 and slid so that the limiting plate 23 is close to the mouse's head. After the limiting plate 23 is moved to the appropriate position, the positioning pin 25 is moved so that the positioning pin 25 is inserted into the positioning groove on the positioning strip 26 to limit the position of the limiting plate 23. The ventilation net 24 on the limiting plate 23 facilitates the mouse's head breathing.

[0029] Furthermore, all content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art, and the model parameters of each electrical appliance are not specifically limited; conventional equipment can be used.

[0030] In use, the user holds the mouse by its tail and guides the mouse into the storage shell 21 through the feeding slot at the rear. The mouse's tail is then moved through the upper movable slot of the storage shell 21 to the slotted end 22. The limiting plate 23 is inserted into the storage shell 21 and slid to bring it closer to the mouse's head. During this process, the top side of the limiting plate 23 moves the positioning pin 25. After the limiting plate 23 reaches the appropriate position, the positioning pin 25 is moved to insert into the positioning slot on the positioning strip 26. The positioning element 3 on the limiting rod is slid to bring it closer to the mouse's tail, and the mouse's tail is moved to the movable seat 31. In the upper middle part, the first lever drives the bidirectional screw 32 to rotate. The bidirectional screw 32 drives the two sets of clamping frames 33 to move along the limiting groove in the limiting frame 36 towards both sides of the mouse tail, so that the two sets of clamping frames 33 tightly clamp the two sides of the mouse tail. The second lever drives the unidirectional screw 35 to rotate. The unidirectional screw 35 pushes the limiting frame 36 down along the through groove in the clamping frame 33, so that the limiting frame 36 clamps the mouse tail in the upper middle part of the moving seat 31, realizing the positioning of the mouse tail. The moving block 372 on the slide rail 371 is moved, and the moving block 372 drives the acupuncture needle 373 to be inserted into the mouse tail along the axis.
