Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of musk deer breeding technology, specifically to a sampling and collection device for musk deer feces. Background Technology

[0002] The forest musk deer is a Class I endangered and precious protected animal in China. The musk secreted by male forest musk deer not only has high medicinal value but is also a valuable natural fragrance with significant economic value. Currently, it is being artificially bred on a certain scale in my country. However, intestinal diseases are among the most fatal diseases in farmed forest musk deer. Feces are important experimental materials for studying the intestinal microecology of forest musk deer. For example, directly extracting microbial DNA from feces for 16S amplicon sequencing or metagenomic sequencing can quickly, conveniently, and accurately obtain intestinal microecological components and analyze the composition of the intestinal flora, which is of great significance for researching and solving intestinal diseases in forest musk deer. Forest musk deer are small ruminants and cannot collect their feces independently like humans. Furthermore, forest musk deer are timid and their defecation is irregular. The ground in breeding farms has a high concentration of microorganisms, and the microbial composition of musk deer feces changes significantly after falling to the ground, affecting the accuracy of sequencing results.

[0003] Therefore, patent CN218121421U discloses a sampling and collection device for musk deer feces, which can prevent musk deer feces from falling to the ground.

[0004] However, the structure of the aforementioned patent is simple and somewhat unreasonable. After being worn, the collection tube will be horizontally facing the musk deer's buttocks, causing the musk deer's excrement to fall onto the inner wall of the collection tube opening, making it difficult to enter the feces tube. Furthermore, the entire device needs to be removed from the musk deer for sampling. If the collected sample is unqualified, it needs to be reinstalled, affecting secondary collection. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a sampling and collection device for musk deer feces, which is reasonably designed to allow the feces to enter the inner cylinder more smoothly, and the outer cylinder and inner cylinder can be separated from the guide pipe, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a sampling and collection device for musk deer feces, including a guide tube, one end of which is expanded outward and bent, the opening at one end of the guide tube forming an arc-shaped surface matching the outer contour of the musk deer's buttocks, the other end of the guide tube narrowing inward to form a vertical connecting part, an arc-shaped guide part being formed between the connecting part and the guide tube, a connecting hole being vertically provided at the center of the connecting part, an outer cylinder being provided in the connecting hole, and an inner cylinder being provided in the opening of the outer cylinder.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the opening of the inner cylinder is bent outward to form a flange of an annular structure. The outer ring surface of the flange is in contact with the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder. The opening of the connecting hole facing the guide tube protrudes to form a limiting part of the annular structure. The top surface of the flange is in contact with the limiting part. A bottom ring is installed inside the outer cylinder. The bottom of the inner cylinder is placed on the bottom ring. Multiple liquid outlet holes are provided on the bottom surface of the inner cylinder.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the inner wall of the connecting hole is provided with an internal thread, and the outer wall of the outer cylinder is provided with an external thread. The outer cylinder is connected to the internal thread in the connecting hole through the external thread. A positioning ring is installed on the outer wall of the outer cylinder, and one end face of the positioning ring is set to abut against the end face of the connecting part.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the guide tube is designed with an "L" shape.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the outer side of the guide tube is provided with multiple heat dissipation ports.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, multiple connectors are installed on the outside of the guide tube opening, and each connector is provided with a connection port.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the inner and outer cylinders are made of transparent plastic material.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the utility model has a simple structure, the design of the guide tube allows the outer and inner cylinders to be set vertically downwards, and the arc surface allows the opening of the guide tube to better fit the musk deer's buttocks. After defecation, the liquid can smoothly enter the inner cylinder by gravity, while the liquid can be discharged through the outlet hole and enter the outer cylinder. Moreover, the outer cylinder can be removed independently from the guide tube. The guide tube can be disassembled after acceptance, and the outer and inner cylinders can be reinstalled if it fails to pass the test, which increases adaptability. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0017] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention discloses a sampling and collection device for musk deer feces, comprising a guide tube 1. One end of the guide tube 1 is expanded outward and bent, and the opening at one end of the guide tube 1 forms an arc-shaped surface 2 that matches the outer contour of the musk deer's buttocks. The other end of the guide tube 1 is narrowed inward to form a vertical connecting part 3. An arc-shaped guide part 13 is formed between the connecting part 3 and the guide tube 1. A connecting hole 8 is vertically provided at the center of the connecting part 3. An outer cylinder 4 is provided in the connecting hole 8, and an inner cylinder 10 is provided in the opening of the outer cylinder 4.

[0018] In this embodiment, the opening of the inner cylinder 10 is bent outward to form a flange with an annular structure. The outer ring surface of the flange is in contact with the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder 4. The opening of the connecting hole 8 protrudes towards the guide tube 1 to form a limiting part 9 with an annular structure. The top surface of the flange is in contact with the limiting part 9. A bottom ring 12 is installed inside the outer cylinder 4. The bottom of the inner cylinder 10 is placed on the bottom ring 12. Multiple liquid outlet holes 11 are provided on the bottom surface of the inner cylinder 10.

[0019] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the connecting hole 8 is provided with an internal thread, and the outer wall of the outer cylinder 4 is provided with an external thread. The outer cylinder 4 is connected to the internal thread in the connecting hole 8 through the external thread. A positioning ring 5 is installed on the outer wall of the outer cylinder 4. One end face of the positioning ring 5 is set to abut against the end face of the connecting part 3. The threaded connection facilitates disassembly.

[0020] In this embodiment, the guide tube 1 is designed in an "L" shape, which better suits the defecation of the musk deer.

[0021] In this embodiment, the outer side of the guide pipe 1 is provided with multiple heat dissipation ports 7. The heat dissipation port increases the heat dissipation effect, avoids discomfort caused by stuffiness, and the heat dissipation port can be equipped with a filter screen to block mosquitoes, dust, impurities and other things from entering, thus increasing safety.

[0022] In this embodiment, multiple connectors 6 are installed on the outside of the opening of the guide tube 1, and each connector 6 is provided with a connection port.

[0023] In this embodiment, the inner cylinder 10 and the outer cylinder 4 are made of transparent plastic material, so that the internal situation can be seen through the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder.

The Velcro can be tied to the abdomen of the musk deer, and the connecting strap can pass through the back and abdomen of the musk deer until the arc-shaped surface on the guide tube fits against the musk deer's buttocks. Through the design of the guide tube, the musk deer's feces can fall smoothly downwards after defecation and enter the inner cylinder through the guide part, while the liquid can enter the outer cylinder through the liquid outlet hole. After observing the collection situation through the outer and inner cylinders, the outer cylinder can be rotated to allow it to be removed directly from the connecting hole, simultaneously pulling out the inner cylinder. Once the obstruction of the limiting part is removed, the inner cylinder can be removed directly, facilitating the collection of feces. This embodiment can also be used for the collection of samples for fecal organic matter detection.

[0025] The collected feces need to be tested. If they fail the test, a new inner and outer tube can be prepared. After the inner tube is placed into the outer tube, the outer tube can be directly threaded into the connecting hole, so that it can be collected again until it passes the test. Then the guide tube can be removed from the musk deer.
