[0002] Laboratory animals are one of the important supporting conditions for modern biomedical research and are widely used in many important fields such as medicine, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, agriculture, light industry, and environmental protection. With the development of scientific experiments, researchers have gradually discovered that the environmental factors of laboratory animals have a significant impact on experimental results. Therefore, they have begun to pay attention to the environmental control of animals (that is, whether the inside of the animal cages is clean or not).

[0003] However, to date, cleaning animal cages in the laboratory still requires manual cleaning (because animals excrete a lot of feces at the bottom of the cages, and if the feces are not cleaned, it can easily affect the results of the next experiment). In the process of cleaning the cages, a large amount of cleaning wastewater is inevitably generated, which can lead to water accumulation or even sewage overflow in the laboratory. Therefore, a cage that is easy to clean manually is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a cage that is easy to clean, so as to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a technical solution: a cage that is easy to clean, characterized in that it includes: a cage body; a water-holding component, which is movably and pull-outly disposed at the bottom end of the cage body for catching the wastewater after the cage body is cleaned; and a drain hose, one end of which is detachably disposed at the side end of the water-holding component, and the other end of which is disposed in a floor drain for draining the wastewater in the water-holding component into the floor drain.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] 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.

[0018] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a cage that is easy to clean, including a cage body 1, a water-holding component 2 and a drain hose 3.

[0019] The water-collecting component 2 is movable and pull-out located at the bottom of the cage body 1 to catch the wastewater after cleaning the cage body 1. It should be understood that staff need to continuously clean the cage body 1 before conducting animal experiments, which generates a significant amount of wastewater. The water-collecting component 2 at the bottom of the cage body 1 catches this wastewater, preventing it from falling directly onto the laboratory floor and accumulating. When cleaning the cage body 1 is finished or the water-collecting component 2 is nearly full, it can be pulled out from the bottom of the cage body 1, and the wastewater can be poured into a drain or floor drain for rapid drainage, preventing contamination of the laboratory environment. The water-collecting component 2 can then be placed back at the bottom of the cage body 1.

[0020] One end of the drain hose 3 is detachably installed on the side of the water-collecting component 2, and the other end is installed in the floor drain 31, used to drain the sewage in the water-collecting component 2 into the floor drain 31. That is to say, after the sewage generated from cleaning the cage body 1 is collected by the water-collecting component 2, the sewage will then be discharged into the floor drain 31 through the drain hose 3. Of course, the drain hose 3 can also be connected to a drainage ditch or other suitable place for drainage to discharge sewage, depending on the actual situation of the laboratory.

[0021] In this embodiment, the bottom of the cage body 1 is provided with multiple support columns 11, and a support space 12 is formed between the bottom end of the cage body 1 and the multiple support columns 11. The water-holding component 2 is movably and pull-outly disposed within the support space 12. It should be understood that the cage body 1 is made of multiple columnar structures, so the wastewater generated when cleaning the cage body 1 will fall into the water-holding component 2 located in the support space 12 through the gaps between the columnar structures of the cage body 1, thereby collecting the wastewater through the water-holding component 2.

[0022] Furthermore, the cage body 1 is rectangular, the support space 12 is rectangular, and the water-holding component 2 includes a rectangular receiving tray 21 that is movably disposed within the support space 12. The receiving cavity 211 of the receiving tray 21 faces upward and is used to catch the wastewater after the cage body 1 has been cleaned. One end of the drain hose 3 is detachably connected to the receiving tray 21. That is to say, the wastewater falls directly into the receiving cavity 211 of the receiving tray 21, and after entering the receiving cavity 211, the wastewater is discharged into the drain ditch or floor drain 31 through the drain hose 3 connected to one side of the receiving tray 21.

[0023] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the bottom three sides of the cage body 1 (excluding the side with the cage opening) can also be provided with baffle plates 5 (such as by magnetic attraction, that is, the baffle plate 5 and the side wall of the cage body 1 are provided with magnets that attract each other), and one end of the receiving tray 21 protrudes from one end of the cage body 1, so that when the staff cleans the animal feces accumulated at the bottom of the cage body 1, the water used to rinse the cage body 1 will be blocked by the baffle plate 5 to prevent it from splashing outward, so that the sewage can fall naturally into the receiving tray 21 at the bottom of the cage body 1. The part of the receiving tray 21 that protrudes from the outside of the cage body 1 can catch the water used to rinse the opening side of the cage body 1, thus avoiding the problem of sewage being discharged randomly when rinsing the opening side of the cage body 1.

[0024] Preferably, a drain pipe 22 is provided on one side of the receiving tray 21, wherein the drain pipe 22 is provided with a first quick-connect flange 221, and one end of the drain hose 3 is provided with a second quick-connect flange 32, and the first quick-connect flange 221 and the second quick-connect flange 32 are detachably connected by a quick-connect clamp 4. It should be understood that if one side of the cage body 1 (that is, the location of the drain pipe 22 of the receiving tray 21) can be placed directly at the drainage ditch, the quick-connect clamp 4 can be opened to remove the drain hose 3 and the sewage can be quickly discharged directly through the drain pipe 22. However, if it is inconvenient for the cage body 1 to be placed near the drainage ditch, the drain pipe 22 and the drain hose 3 can be reconnected through the quick-connect clamp 4, and the sewage can be discharged into the floor drain 31 through the drain hose 3, so that the drainage method of this easy-to-clean cage can be flexible and varied in actual use.

[0025] In other embodiments, a drain pipe 22 is provided on one side of the receiving tray 21. The end of the drain pipe 22 is provided with a first quick-connect flange 221, and one end of the drain hose 3 is provided with a second quick-connect flange 32. The first quick-connect flange 221 and the second quick-connect flange 32 are mutually attracting magnets. The second quick-connect flange 32 has an extension tube inserted into the drain pipe 22. That is, by using two attracting magnets for the first quick-connect flange 221 and the second quick-connect flange 32, the drain hose 3 and the drain pipe 22 can be quickly connected, making disassembly of the drain hose 3 and the drain pipe 22 easier. Furthermore, the extension tube of the second quick-connect flange 32 inserted into the drain pipe 22 allows for a tighter connection between the drain hose 3 and the drain pipe 22, preventing sewage leakage at the connection point.

[0026] Furthermore, in other embodiments, the receiving cavity 211 of the receiving tray 21 is conical, and the bottom of the receiving tray 21 is provided with a drain pipe 22 communicating with the bottom of the receiving cavity 211. One end of the drain hose 3 is connected to one end of the drain pipe 22 by a threaded connection. It should be understood that after sewage falls into the receiving cavity 211 of the receiving tray 21, it will flow along the conical structure of the receiving cavity 211 into the drain pipe 22, thereby allowing the sewage to be discharged quickly and not accumulate in the receiving cavity 211.

[0027] In this embodiment, the length, width and thickness of the receiving tray 21 are equal to the length, width and thickness of the supporting space 12, so that the receiving tray 21 can be tightly contained in the supporting space 12, and the sealing effect is good. The water discharged from the cage body 1 is not easy to fall out, that is, almost all the water discharged from the cage body 1 falls into the receiving tray 21.

[0028] In this embodiment, baffles 13 are provided on the first, second, and third sides of the support space 12, and the fourth side of the support space 12 is open and accommodates the receiving tray 21. It should be understood that the baffles 13 on the first, second, and third sides of the support space 12 can further prevent water discharged from the cage body 1 from falling out.

[0029] Furthermore, the first and third sides of the support space 12 are symmetrically provided with a first sliding groove 14 and a second sliding groove 15. The receiving tray 21 has a first sliding rod 212 located in the first sliding groove 14 and a second sliding rod 213 located in the second sliding groove 15 on each side. It can be understood that the receiving tray 21 utilizes the first sliding rod 212 sliding in the first sliding groove 14 and the second sliding rod 213 sliding in the second sliding groove 15 to achieve the movable and pull-out arrangement of the water-holding component 2 within the support space 12.

[0030] Of course, in other embodiments, the third side of the support space 12 is provided with a return spring connected to the receiving plate 21, so that after the receiving plate 21 is pulled out, the return spring automatically pulls the receiving plate 21 back and places it inside the receiving plate 21 after the release.

[0031] Preferably, the drain hose 3 comprises a rubber hose.
