Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of animal testing, and in particular to an integrated single-ball bearing sealed water bottle cap. Background Technology

[0002] Laboratory animals have long played an irreplaceable and vital role in traditional biological fields such as life sciences, medicine, and pharmacy, driving continuous breakthroughs in life sciences. Water bottle caps, as an indispensable piece of equipment in laboratory animal husbandry, are used for cyclical sterilization.

[0003] With the development and expansion of biomedical research, laboratory animals play an important role in drug administration and experiments. The size and strain of laboratory animals are constantly expanding, and experimental results and data are important outcomes in drug research. Therefore, ensuring the welfare rights of weak animals and animals with difficulty drinking water after drug administration has become a critical animal welfare issue during experiments. Although the current single-cap water bottle can meet the water supply needs, the current water bottle cap method, which uses a pressure ring or welded blocking bar to fix the water droplets, will have blind spots for cleaning. Therefore, based on the above analysis, integrated products can perform more thorough cleaning and meet experimental cleaning requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] To avoid the existence of blind spots in cleaning, this application provides an integrated single ball bearing sealing water bottle cap.

[0005] The technical solution of the integrated single ball bearing sealing water bottle cap provided in this application is as follows: An integrated single ball bearing sealing water bottle cap includes a cover plate for installation with an external water bottle, an integrated water pipe is provided on the cover plate, a ball bearing is provided inside the integrated water pipe, and a riveting mechanism or a disassembly mechanism is provided on the top of the cover plate. The disassembly and assembly mechanism includes a first mounting sleeve fixedly installed on the cover plate, the integrated water pipe being located inside the first mounting sleeve, the first mounting sleeve having an internal thread, the outer surface of the integrated water pipe having a first external thread adapted to the internal thread, and the first mounting sleeve having a first sealing sleeve.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the ball bearing moves freely within the outlet of the integrated water pipe. Under water pressure, the ball bearing and the inner wall of the outlet at the top of the integrated water pipe are tightly fitted together, preventing water from flowing out. When the experimental animal touches the ball bearing with any part of its body or tongue, the sealing balance between the ball bearing and the outlet of the integrated water pipe under the pressure of gravity is broken. At this time, the water inside the integrated water pipe flows out under its own weight, and the experimental animal can then drink it. Through the integrated design, the head is more smoothly perforated, thus effectively avoiding unevenness and dead corners inside during welding. The groove-free design makes the inside of the pipe smooth and without dead corners, making cleaning and disinfection easier and more thorough. It is also convenient to operate, load, and use, and is sturdy and durable.

[0007] Preferably, the ball bearing is movably installed in the top area of ​​the integrated water pipe, one end of the top outlet of the integrated water pipe is arc-shaped, and the interior of the integrated water pipe has a chamfer.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the ball bearings are movably installed inside the integrated water pipe, allowing them to move and thus enabling water to flow out. Furthermore, the arc-shaped design limits the movement of the ball bearings, preventing them from falling out.

[0009] Preferably, the inner diameter of the lower half of the integrated water pipe is smaller than the inner diameter of the upper half of the integrated water pipe.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the inner diameter of the lower half of the integrated water pipe is smaller than that of the upper half of the integrated water pipe, so that the ball can slide in the upper half of the integrated water pipe, thereby preventing the ball from falling into the lower half of the integrated water pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the diameter of the ball bearing is adapted to the inner diameter of the upper half of the integrated water pipe.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the diameter of the ball bearing is matched with the inner diameter of the upper half of the integrated water pipe, so that the ball bearing can move in the upper half of the integrated water pipe.

[0013] Preferably, the diameter of the ball bearing is larger than the inner diameter of the lower half of the integrated water pipe.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the diameter of the ball bearing must be larger than the inner diameter of the lower half of the integrated water pipe, thereby playing a limiting role.

[0015] Preferably, the disassembly and assembly mechanism further includes a second mounting sleeve fixedly mounted on the cover plate. The outer surface of the second mounting sleeve is provided with a second external thread. The integrated water pipe is provided with a threaded cap that matches the second external thread. The second mounting sleeve is symmetrically provided with multiple limiting grooves. Each of the multiple limiting grooves is slidably installed with a corresponding multiple limiting block. Each of the multiple limiting blocks is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the integrated water pipe.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the integrated water pipe is inserted into the second mounting sleeve, and the integrated water pipe can be limited to move by the cooperation of multiple limiting grooves and limiting blocks. Then, the threaded cover is put on the integrated water pipe and can be rotated and installed by cooperating with the second external thread on the second mounting sleeve. Thus, the integrated water pipe and the cover plate can be assembled and fixed. This application adopts two different installation methods, which can be selected according to the specific needs of use.

[0017] Preferably, a second sealing sleeve is fixedly installed at the bottom of the integrated water pipe, a third sealing sleeve is fixedly installed inside the second sealing sleeve, a groove is provided on the third sealing sleeve, a convex ring adapted to the groove is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second sealing sleeve, a plurality of reinforcing grooves are symmetrically provided on the third sealing sleeve, and a plurality of reinforcing blocks adapted to the reinforcing grooves are fixedly installed at the bottom of the second sealing sleeve.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the convex ring at the bottom of the second sealing sleeve can be matched with the groove on the third sealing sleeve, thereby completing the assembly of the second and third sealing sleeves. This can further improve the tightness of the assembly and the waterproof sealing effect. Furthermore, the reinforcement groove and reinforcement block can further improve the stability of the installation of the second and third sealing sleeves.

[0019] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. This application utilizes a ball bearing mechanism. The ball bearing moves freely within the outlet of the integrated water pipe, and under water pressure, it tightly adheres to the inner wall of the outlet at the top of the integrated water pipe, preventing water from flowing out. When the experimental animal lightly touches the ball bearing with any part of its body or tongue, the sealing balance between the ball bearing and the outlet of the integrated water pipe under the pressure of gravity is broken. At this point, the water inside the integrated water pipe flows out under gravity, and the experimental animal can then drink it. Through the integrated design, the head is more smoothly perforated, effectively avoiding unevenness and dead corners inside during welding. The groove-free design ensures a smooth and dead-corner-free interior, making cleaning and disinfection easier and more thorough. It is also convenient to operate, load, and use, and is sturdy and durable.

[0020] 2. This application utilizes a first mounting sleeve, etc., where the internal thread on the first mounting sleeve engages with the first external thread on the outer surface of the integrated water pipe. This facilitates the disassembly, replacement, and maintenance of the cover plate and the integrated water pipe. By inserting the integrated water pipe into the second mounting sleeve, and through the cooperation of multiple limiting grooves and limiting blocks, the integrated water pipe can be limited in movement. Then, the threaded cover is placed on the integrated water pipe, and through engagement with the second external thread on the second mounting sleeve, rotational installation can be completed. This allows for the assembly and fixation of the integrated water pipe and the cover plate. Furthermore, this application employs two different installation methods, which can be selected according to specific usage requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0023] This application discloses an integrated single ball bearing sealing water bottle cap.

[0024] Example 1 Reference Figure 1 An integrated single ball bearing sealed water bottle cap includes a cover plate 1 for installation with an external water bottle, an integrated water pipe 2 on the cover plate 1, and a ball bearing 3 inside the integrated water pipe 2. The integrated water pipe 2 is located inside the cover plate 1 and is fastened by riveting. The ball bearing 3 is movably installed in the top area of ​​the integrated water pipe 2. The top outlet end of the integrated water pipe 2 is arc-shaped. The interior of the integrated water pipe 2 has a chamfer. The inner diameter of the lower half of the integrated water pipe 2 is smaller than that of the upper half. The diameter of the ball bearing 3 is matched with the inner diameter of the upper half of the integrated water pipe 2. The diameter of the ball bearing 3 is larger than that of the inner diameter of the lower half of the integrated water pipe 2. The riveting connection used in this application is an existing installation method. Therefore, the specific structure and installation process are not described in detail.

[0025] In use, the ball bearing 3 moves freely within the outlet of the integrated water pipe 2. Under water pressure, the ball bearing 3 and the inner wall of the outlet at the top of the integrated water pipe 2 are tightly fitted together, preventing water from flowing out. When the experimental animal touches the ball bearing 3 lightly through any part of its body or tongue, the sealing balance between the ball bearing 3 and the outlet of the integrated water pipe 2 under the pressure of gravity is broken. At this time, the water inside the integrated water pipe 2 flows out under gravity, and the experimental animal can then drink it. Through the integrated design, the head is more smoothly perforated, thus effectively avoiding unevenness and dead corners inside during welding. The groove-free design makes the inside of the pipe smooth and without dead corners, making cleaning and disinfection easier and more thorough. It is also convenient to operate, load and use, and is sturdy and durable. Example 2 Reference Figure 2-5 An integrated single ball bearing sealed water bottle cap includes a cover plate 1 for installation with an external water bottle, an integrated water pipe 2 on the cover plate 1, a ball bearing 3 inside the integrated water pipe 2, and a disassembly and assembly mechanism on the cover plate 1. The disassembly and assembly mechanism includes a first mounting sleeve 4 fixedly installed on the cover plate 1, an integrated water pipe 2 located inside the first mounting sleeve 4, an internal thread 5 inside the first mounting sleeve 4, a first external thread 6 adapted to the internal thread 5 on the outer surface of the integrated water pipe 2, and a first sealing sleeve 7 inside the first mounting sleeve 4. It also includes a second mounting sleeve 9 fixedly installed on the cover plate 1. The outer surface of the second mounting sleeve 9 is provided with a second external thread 12. The integrated water pipe 2 is provided with a threaded cap 8 that is compatible with the second external thread 12. Multiple limiting grooves 10 are symmetrically provided on the second mounting sleeve 9. Multiple limiting blocks 11 are slidably installed in the multiple limiting grooves 10. The multiple limiting blocks 11 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the integrated water pipe 2. Among them, the bottom of the integrated water pipe 2 is fixedly installed with a second sealing sleeve 13, the second mounting sleeve 9 is fixedly installed with a third sealing sleeve 14, the third sealing sleeve 14 is provided with a groove 15, the bottom of the second sealing sleeve 13 is fixedly installed with a convex ring 16 that matches the groove 15, the third sealing sleeve 14 is symmetrically provided with a plurality of reinforcing grooves 17, and the bottom of the second sealing sleeve 13 is fixedly installed with a plurality of reinforcing blocks 18 that match the reinforcing grooves 17.

[0026] In use, the integrated water pipe 2 is inserted into the second mounting sleeve 9, and the integrated water pipe 2 can be limited to move by the cooperation of multiple limiting grooves 10 and limiting blocks 11. Then, the threaded cover 8 is put on the integrated water pipe 2 and can be rotated by cooperating with the second external thread 12 on the second mounting sleeve 9. Thus, the integrated water pipe 2 and the cover plate 1 can be assembled and fixed. This application adopts two different installation methods, which can be selected according to the usage requirements. The second sealing sleeve 13 and the third sealing sleeve 14 can be assembled by matching the protruding ring 16 at the bottom of the second sealing sleeve 13 with the groove 15 on the third sealing sleeve 14. This can further improve the tightness of the assembly and the waterproof sealing effect. Furthermore, the second sealing sleeve 13 and the third sealing sleeve 14 can be further stabilized by the reinforcing groove 17 and the reinforcing block 18.

[0027] The implementation principle of the integrated single ball bearing sealed water bottle cap in this application embodiment is as follows: During use, the ball bearing 3 moves freely within the outlet of the integrated water pipe 2, and under the action of water pressure, the ball bearing 3 and the inner wall of the outlet at the top of the integrated water pipe 2 are tightly fitted to prevent water from flowing out. The integrated water pipe 2 is inclined. When the experimental animal touches the ball bearing 3 lightly through any part of its body or tongue, the sealing balance between the ball bearing 3 and the outlet of the integrated water pipe 2 under the pressure of water gravity is broken. At this time, the water inside the integrated water pipe 2 flows out under its own gravity, and the experimental animal can then drink the water. Through the integrated design, the head is more smoothly perforated, thus effectively avoiding unevenness and dead corners inside during welding. The groove-free design makes the inside of the pipe smooth and without dead corners, making cleaning and disinfection easier and more thorough. It is also convenient to operate, load, and use, and is sturdy and durable. The internal thread 5 on the first mounting sleeve 4 engages with the first external thread 6 on the outer surface of the integrated water pipe 2, thereby facilitating the disassembly, replacement, and maintenance of the cover plate 1 and the integrated water pipe 2. By inserting the integrated water pipe 2 into the second mounting sleeve 9, and through the cooperation of multiple limiting grooves 10 and limiting blocks 11, the integrated water pipe 2 can be limited to move. Then, the threaded cover 8 is fitted onto the integrated water pipe 2 and can be rotated by cooperating with the second external thread 12 on the second mounting sleeve 9. Thus, the assembly and fixation of the integrated water pipe 2 and the cover plate 1 can be completed. This application adopts two different installation methods, which can be selected according to the specific needs of use. The second sealing sleeve 13 and the third sealing sleeve 14 can be assembled by matching the protruding ring 16 at the bottom of the second sealing sleeve 13 with the groove 15 on the third sealing sleeve 14. This can further improve the tightness of the assembly and the waterproof sealing effect. Furthermore, the second sealing sleeve 13 and the third sealing sleeve 14 can be further stabilized by the reinforcing groove 17 and the reinforcing block 18.

[0028] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
