Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ferret breeding testing equipment, specifically a drawer-type ferret feces and urine separation and collection structure. Background Technology

[0002] Mink, blue fox, and silver fox are valuable special economic animals whose fur has excellent properties and can be used to make various high-end fur products. Mink, blue fox, and silver fox furs are the backbone of the world's fur industry, especially mink and silver fox furs, which are known as "soft gold." Scholars have conducted extensive research on key technologies for the large-scale production of high-quality mink, blue fox, and silver fox furs, covering areas such as nutritional requirements and feed formulation, efficient and rapid breeding technology, environmental control and facilities and equipment, and disease prevention and control. An essential experimental method for studying the appropriate nutritional requirements and feed formulation technology of fur-bearing animals is the digestive metabolism experiment. Through digestive metabolism experiments, data on the intake and digestibility of certain nutrients and elements in animals can be obtained, thereby determining the appropriate requirements for those nutrients, optimizing feed formulations, proposing reasonable feed ratios, improving feed utilization, increasing breeding efficiency, and producing a large quantity of high-quality and valuable furs. Digestive metabolism experiments usually employ the total fecal collection method, which involves accurately collecting and weighing the feces and urine of experimental animals at specific experimental stages. A search revealed a Chinese patent with publication number CN208999191U, which discloses a mink feces and urine separation collector. The patent includes a placement frame, a conveying box installed at the upper end of the placement frame, support legs fixed at the four corners of the lower end of the placement frame, a support device at the lower end of the support legs, a conveying device inside the conveying box, and an operation box fixed at one end of the conveying box, with a cavity inside the operation box. While the aforementioned devices can prevent incomplete separation caused by residual urine in feces, facilitate the collection of urine and feces, avoid waste, and are easy to support and move, they are still inconvenient to use. In actual use, ferrets produce relatively small amounts of feces and urine. Using a screw conveyor and motor size for separation creates cleaning dead zones in the screw conveyor's spiral blades, the gaps in the cylinder wall, and the connecting shaft between the motor and the screw conveyor. Residual soft and sticky feces and urine can easily breed bacteria and produce odors. Furthermore, disassembling the screw conveyor requires removing the motor and blades, which is complicated (and difficult for ferret owners to maintain due to their high frequency of daily cleaning), thus increasing the burden of raising them. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drawer-type ferret feces and urine separation and collection structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, a drawer-type ferret feces and urine separation and collection structure is provided, including a separation platform, a urine collection drawer inserted inside the separation platform, a compression mechanism installed on the top of the separation platform, a compression block provided on the compression mechanism, a connecting column fixedly provided on the compression block, and a fixing plate connected to the top of the connecting column; a feces collection groove is opened on the surface of the separation platform, and a filter seat is fixedly provided at the bottom of the feces collection groove.

[0005] Furthermore, the separation platform also includes a label holder and a receiving area, and the separation platform is in the shape of a regular pentagon, with receiving areas provided on each of the five side walls of the separation platform.

[0006] Furthermore, label holders are provided on the five side walls of the separation platform, and urine collection drawers are interspersed inside the five sets of receiving areas. The urine collection drawers and receiving areas are all triangular in shape.

[0007] Furthermore, a fecal collection trough is provided above the receiving area, and both the fecal collection trough and the filter seat are triangular, with compression blocks inserted inside the fecal collection trough.

[0008] Furthermore, the compression mechanism also includes a force-bearing handle, which is U-shaped and fixed to a fixed plate, which is circular.

[0009] Furthermore, five sets of compression blocks are equidistantly installed at the bottom of the fixing plate, and the compression blocks are triangular in shape. All five sets of compression blocks are inserted into five sets of fecal collection troughs opened on the surface of the separation platform.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the filter seat is positioned opposite to the urine collection drawer, and the bottom area of ​​the filter seat is smaller than the surface area of ​​the compression mechanism.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This solution uses five sets of compression blocks inserted into five sets of feces collection troughs to compress the feces and urine inside. After compression, the feces and urine are separated. The urine enters the urine collection drawer through the filter seat, while the feces remain inside the feces collection trough. This achieves the separation of samples from five ferrets. The entire structure consists of three parts: a separation platform, a urine collection drawer, and a compression mechanism. After use, it can be quickly cleaned, facilitating a comprehensive cleaning of the separation platform, urine collection drawer, and compression mechanism, thus reducing the burden of feeding. 3. This solution uses a regular pentagonal structure for the separation platform. Compared with circles and rectangles, it can evenly divide the same area into five independent functional areas. The five side walls correspond to a set of label stands, a holding area and a feces collection trough, forming a symmetrical layout of one component per wall. This avoids the crowding and overlapping of multiple components and allows each set of feces and urine separation units to operate independently. It is suitable for multiple ferrets to use at the same time or to collect them separately. In addition, the rounded corners of the regular pentagon can reduce the risk of collision and injury to the ferrets and is adapted to their activity habits. 4. This solution avoids cross-contamination by processing samples independently. The device is equipped with five sets of feces collection tanks, which can be used to collect feces and urine samples from five ferrets respectively, enabling one-to-one delivery and processing. At the same time, it is equipped with five sets of compression blocks to ensure that each set of samples is operated independently during the compression process, effectively avoiding cross-contamination between different ferret samples, ensuring sample purity, and providing an accurate basis for subsequent detection or analysis.

Detailed Implementation

[0014] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a drawer-type ferret feces and urine separation and collection structure, including a separation platform 100, a urine collection drawer 200 inserted inside the separation platform 100, a compression mechanism 300 installed on the top of the separation platform 100, a compression block 31 provided on the compression mechanism 300, a connecting column 32 fixedly provided on the compression block 31, and a fixing piece 33 connected to the top of the connecting column 32; a feces collection trough 12 is opened on the surface of the separation platform 100, and a filter seat 13 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the feces collection trough 12.

[0015] Working principle: In actual use, five different ferret feces and urine samples are first placed into the five feces collection troughs 12. Then, holding the force-bearing handle 34, the five compression blocks 31 at the bottom of the force-bearing handle 34 are inserted into the five feces collection troughs 12 and compressed. After the feces and urine in the feces collection troughs 12 are compressed, the feces and urine are separated. The urine enters the urine collection drawer 200 through the filter seat 13, while the feces remain in the feces collection troughs 12. This achieves the separation of samples from five ferrets. The entire structure consists of three parts: the separation platform 100, the urine collection drawer 200, and the compression mechanism 300. After use, it can be quickly cleaned, which facilitates a comprehensive cleaning of the separation platform 100, the urine collection drawer 200, and the compression mechanism 300, reducing the burden of feeding.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the separation platform 100 also includes a label holder 11 and a receiving area 14, and the separation platform 100 is in the shape of a regular pentagon, with the receiving area 14 provided on each of the five side walls of the separation platform 100.

[0017] Label stands 11 are also provided on the five side walls of the separation platform 100. Urine collection drawers 200 are interspersed inside the five sets of receiving areas 14. The urine collection drawers 200 and the receiving areas 14 are all triangular.

[0018] A fecal collection trough 12 is provided above the receiving area 14, and both the fecal collection trough 12 and the filter seat 13 are triangular. A compression block 31 is inserted inside the fecal collection trough 12.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the compression mechanism 300 further includes a force-bearing handle 34, which is U-shaped and fixed to a fixing plate 33, which is circular.

[0020] Five sets of compression blocks 31 are installed at equal intervals on the bottom of the fixing plate 33. The compression blocks 31 are triangular in shape and are inserted into five sets of fecal collection troughs 12 opened on the surface of the separation platform 100.

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown: The separation platform 100 adopts a regular pentagonal structure. Compared with circles and rectangles, it can evenly divide five independent functional areas in the same area. The five side walls correspond to a set of label stands 11, a receiving area 14 and a feces collection trough 12, forming a symmetrical layout of one component per wall. This avoids multiple components crowding and overlapping, and allows each set of feces and urine separation units to operate independently. It is suitable for multiple ferrets to use at the same time or to collect them separately. The triangular storage area 14 and the urine collection drawer 200 are designed to improve fit and ease of use. Both the storage area 14 and the urine collection drawer 200 are triangular. On the one hand, the narrow opening and wide bottom of the triangle allows the drawer to fit precisely into the storage area 14, resulting in a better fit against the side walls and reducing urine leakage caused by drawer wobbling. On the other hand, the bottom area of ​​the triangular drawer is larger than the opening, which can hold more urine. When pulling out the drawer, the hand can naturally grip the triangular slant side of the drawer, making it easier to apply force and avoiding the problem of the rectangular drawer corners getting stuck. It also makes daily cleaning easier. Five sets of label stations 11 and corresponding components are clearly labeled and easy to manage. Label stations 11 are set on all five side walls of the separation station 100, and each set of label stations 11 corresponds one-to-one with the receiving area 14 and the feces collection trough 12 below. Users can mark information on the label stations 11 to quickly distinguish feces and urine samples from different collection units. It is especially suitable for pet medical monitoring, feeding management and other scenarios, avoiding confusion between multiple sets of samples. Compared with a uniform collection structure without labels, it greatly improves the accuracy of data recording and subsequent analysis.

[0022] The bottom of the filter seat 13 is positioned opposite to the urine collection drawer 200, and the bottom area of ​​the filter seat 13 is smaller than the surface area of ​​the compression mechanism 300.

[0023] like Figure 1-5As shown: Samples are processed independently to avoid cross-contamination. The device is equipped with five sets of feces collection tanks 12, which can each correspond to the feces and urine samples of five ferrets, achieving one-to-one delivery and processing. Simultaneously, it is equipped with five sets of compression blocks 31 to ensure that each sample is handled independently during compression, effectively avoiding cross-contamination between different ferret samples, ensuring sample purity, and providing an accurate basis for subsequent testing or analysis. Feces and urine separation is highly efficient and thorough, and the operation is simple and controllable. The compression blocks 31 are inserted into the feces collection tank 12 for compression by holding the force-bearing handle 34. It can quickly apply pressure to feces and urine, promoting their separation. The separated urine can accurately flow into the urine collection drawer 200 through the filter seat 13. The filter holes on the filter seat 13 have an inner diameter of about 1 mm, ensuring that the urine volume of a single discharge is completely penetrated within 1 to 3 seconds, avoiding liquid residue. Soft and sticky feces are difficult to pass through the 1 mm filter holes under the action of gravity, and the feces remain in the feces collection tank 12. The entire separation process does not require complex mechanical transmission and can be completed by manual hand operation. It is not only highly efficient and thorough in separation, but also adaptable to actual conditions. The compression force can be flexibly controlled to adapt to samples in different states; the modular design makes the functions clear and easy to use. The overall structure consists of three parts: the separation platform 100, the urine collection drawer 200, and the compression mechanism 300. The functions of each module are clearly defined. The separation platform 100 carries the core of sample processing, the urine collection drawer 200 focuses on urine collection, and the compression mechanism 300 is responsible for providing compression power. There are no unnecessary or complicated parts. Users can quickly understand the function of each part. The learning curve is low, and even first-time users can easily master the entire processing process. It is easy to clean in all directions, reducing the burden of feeding and maintenance. After use, the separation platform 100, urine collection drawer 200, and compression mechanism 300 can be cleaned quickly and in all directions. The urine collection drawer 200 can be directly pulled out for cleaning. The feces collection tank 12 has no closed dead corners for easy rinsing. The compression block 31 and the force-bearing handle 34 are easy to disassemble or wipe. Cleaning can be completed without professional tools. It greatly reduces the time and difficulty of cleaning, effectively reducing the maintenance burden in the feeding process. It is especially suitable for the daily sample processing needs of multi-ferret breeding scenarios.
