Solution Overview

Problem

Current animal operation tables are not suitable for robot animal experimental operations, as they lack the necessary engineering tools and medical appliances required for complex interdisciplinary experiments, leading to inconvenience for experimenters.

Innovation Solution

The intelligent animal operation table is designed with a structured arrangement that includes an operation platform, instrument cabinet, brain stereotaxic instrument, physiological signal acquisition system, welding table, electroneurographic signal amplification display, and shadowless lamp, allowing for the integration of various tools and appliances necessary for robot animal experiments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If an ordinary animal operation table is used, then the structure is simple, but it cannot accommodate both engineering tools and medical appliances required for robot animal experiments

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccommodation of engineering tools and medical appliancesVSAvoidstructural complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines engineering tools (welding table, electrical instrument cabinet) and medical appliances (brain stereotaxic instrument, medical instrument cabinet) into a single integrated animal operation table system, allowing both types of equipment to coexist and be accessed during robot animal experiments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The operation table is designed with multi-functional capabilities to support both engineering operations (welding, circuit assembly) and medical procedures (craniotomy, electrode implantation) on the same platform, making it suitable for interdisciplinary robot animal research

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If engineering tools and medical appliances are mixed and placed optionally, then the setup is flexible, but it brings great inconvenience for experimenters

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconvenience for experimentersVSAvoidarrangement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The instrument cabinet is divided into separate compartments: a medical instrument cabinet for storing surgical tools and an electrical instrument cabinet for storing electronic devices and welding tools. This segmentation allows experimenters to access specific tool types efficiently while maintaining an organized workspace

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different regions of the operation table are optimized for specific functions: the welding table provides a dedicated area for electrical work, the brain stereotaxic instrument area is optimized for neurological procedures, and the instrument cabinets are positioned for easy access during respective operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

An intelligent animal operation table is provided. An instrument cabinet is fixed at a rear part of a top surface of an operation platform through supporting columns; a brain stereotaxic instrument is fixed on a front side of the instrument cabinet; a physiological signal acquisition system is located below the instrument cabinet and behind the brain stereotaxic instrument; a welding table is located on the front side of the instrument cabinet and a right side of the physiological signal acquisition system; an electroneurographic signal amplification display is located on the front side of the instrument cabinet and on a right rear side of the welding table; and a shadowless lamp is fixed on a right part of a top surface of the instrument cabinet. The intelligent animal operation table is reasonable and compact in structural arrangement and is convenient for the complete implementation of a robot animal experiment.
