Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal experimental equipment technology, specifically to an observation box for animal experiments. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of animal experiments, the observation box is a core piece of equipment, and its performance directly affects the accuracy of experiments and the level of animal welfare.
[0003] Existing animal laboratory observation boxes have significant shortcomings in terms of urine pad replacement. Traditional observation boxes typically use a flat-lay design for urine pads, requiring researchers to fully open the box and manually remove and replace the pads. This operation is not only time-consuming, averaging 8-10 minutes per change, but the limited internal space is also a major drawback. Most observation boxes have fixed internal spaces, failing to meet the diverse space requirements of different experiments. Utility Model Content

[0007] The liftable pad assembly includes a control rod, on which four urine pads are fixedly installed. Four vertical slots are provided on the rod. L-shaped mounting plates are fixedly installed at the four corners of the top surface of each of the four urine pads. A threaded pressure rod is threaded into one end of the top surface of the horizontal part of the L-shaped mounting plate, and a rubber pressure head is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the threaded pressure rod.

[0011] Preferably, a sleeve interface is provided in the middle of the top surface of the top cover, and the top end of the control rod passes through the sleeve interface.
[0012] Preferably, the observation box has openings on both the front and back sides, and a sliding door panel is movably inserted into one side of each opening. A T-shaped lever is fixedly installed on one side of the front of each of the four sliding door panels. Two flat plates are fixedly installed in the center of the front of each observation box, and a locking pin is movably inserted into the top surface of each flat plate. One end of the locking pin passes through the top surface of the horizontal part of the T-shaped lever.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] 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.
[0026] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: the observation box assembly 1 includes an observation box body 101, an animal observation cavity 102 is provided inside the observation box body 101, a polygonal upright 110 is fixedly installed in the center of the bottom surface of the animal observation cavity 102, and partitions 111 are slidably inserted into the center of the inner walls of the animal observation cavity 102. The observation box body 101 serves as the main structure of the entire observation box, providing observation space for experimental animals; the polygonal upright 110 is used to support the liftable pad assembly 2; the partitions 111 can slide on the inner wall of the animal observation cavity 102, thereby realizing flexible partitioning of the internal space of the observation box.
[0027] Structure of the liftable pad assembly 2: The liftable pad assembly 2 includes a control rod 201. Four urine pads 204 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the control rod 201. Four vertical slots 203 are provided on the rod of the control rod 201. L-shaped mounting plates 205 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the top surface of the four urine pads 204. A threaded pressure rod 206 is threaded into one end of the top surface of the horizontal part of the L-shaped mounting plate 205. A rubber pressure head 207 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the threaded pressure rod 206. The control rod 201 is used to lift the entire liftable pad assembly 2, making it easy to lift and remove the four urine pads 204 from the animal observation cavity 102 for easy replacement of the urine pads; the urine pads 204 are used to place the urine pads; the vertical slot 203 cooperates with the partition 111 to position the partition 111; the L-shaped mounting plate 205, the threaded pressure rod 206, and the rubber pressure head 207 cooperate to fix the urine pads and prevent them from sliding. Specifically, the urine pads are laid flat on the top surface of the urine pads 204, and then the threaded pressure rod 206 is manually rotated. The threaded pressure rod 206 drives the rubber pressure head 207 to descend and press down on the four corners of the urine pads, which can effectively prevent the urine pads from flipping up when the animals move on them, and also makes it easier for staff to replace the used urine pads later.
[0028] The observation box 101 has a top cover 103. Two fixing protrusions 104 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom surface of the top cover 103. Fixing grooves 106 are formed on the top of both sides of the observation box 101. Fixing screws 105 are threaded into the outer surfaces of the four fixing protrusions 104, with one end of each screw threaded into the inner wall of the fixing groove 106. Through the cooperation of the fixing protrusions 104, fixing grooves 106, and fixing screws 105, the top cover 103 and the observation box 101 are detachably connected, facilitating the opening of the observation box for experimental operations.

[0030] A sleeve interface 109 is provided in the middle of the top surface of the top cover 103, and the top end of the control rod 201 passes through the sleeve interface 109. The sleeve interface 109 is used to guide the control rod 201 and ensure the stability of the liftable pad assembly 2.
[0031] The observation box 101 has openings 112 on both the front and back sides. A sliding door panel 113 is movably inserted into one side of each opening 112. A T-shaped lever 114 is fixedly installed on one side of the front of each of the four sliding door panels 113. Two flat plates 115 are fixedly installed in the center of the front of each observation box 101. A locking pin 116 is movably inserted into the top surface of each flat plate 115, with one end of the locking pin 116 passing through the top surface of the horizontal portion of the T-shaped lever 114. Through the cooperation of the sliding door panels 113, T-shaped levers 114, flat plates 115, and locking pins 116, the openings 112 of the observation box can be opened, closed, and locked, facilitating operation and observation by experimental personnel.
[0032] A lifting head 202 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the control rod 201. Four vertical slots 203 are evenly distributed in a ring on the rod body of the control rod 201, and there are gaps between the four urine pads 204. The lifting head 202 makes it convenient for the experimenter to lift the control rod 201; the evenly distributed vertical slots 203 facilitate the positioning and adjustment of the partition 111.
[0033] The control rod 201 is movably sleeved on the body of the polygonal upright rod 110. The side of the urine pad 204 is respectively attached to the inner wall of the animal observation cavity 102 and the inner wall of the partition 111. One side of the partition 111 is inserted into the vertical slot 203. This structural design ensures the stable installation of the liftable pad assembly 2 in the observation box, and facilitates the use of the partition 111 and the liftable pad assembly 2.
