Background technique

In many research fields, especially in the medical field, experimental research occupies an extremely important position, and in view of factors such as ethics, the experimental subjects are basically animals. Among them, body weight, body length, body temperature and hair coat are the most basic and important indicators, which are often observed as the primary indicators. However, the current conventional measurement methods and measurement tools have many deficiencies in the experimental application process: 1. , The process is cumbersome, time-consuming and inefficient. At present, the measurement of animal weight, body length, body temperature and other indicators in the experiment still uses a single independent measurement, which not only takes up a lot of manpower and time, but also often leads to repeated measurements and missed measurements due to the excessive number of experimental animals and detection indicators; The method is simple, but there are many errors. For the measurement of some indicators, the experimenters still use relatively simple means. For example, the measurement of animal body length is often carried out with a soft ruler. Due to the thermal expansion and contraction of the soft ruler and the difference in reading angle, the results are not accurate enough; 3. There are many human and subjective factors. For example, the measurement of animal body length is carried out in the state of fixing the animal, and the result obtained is not the body length of the normal state. Another example is in the measurement of animal coat density, the experimenter often makes a comparison and judgment through personal observation, which increases the experimental results. of uncertainty. Many of the above problems have seriously affected the experimental results and reduced the experimental efficiency. If these problems can be effectively solved, it will save a lot of time-consuming experiments and manpower, and greatly improve the scientific nature of the research results. Therefore, how to use an objective, efficient, scientific and accurate instrument to enable animals to complete the determination of these indicators in a natural state at one time is a technical problem to be solved by the present invention.

Detailed ways

The specific implementation manners of the present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

Provided by Fig. 1, the present invention includes electronic scale, tray and box body as base, tray 2 is fixed on the top surface of electronic scale 1, box body 3 is placed on the tray 2, and the middle part of the left side of the tray 2 is equipped with a built-in box body. The food tray 4 in 3, the box body 3 is a hollow body structure with a lower opening formed by a front panel, a rear panel, a left panel, a right panel and an upper panel, and air holes 9 are distributed on the front panel and the rear panel of the box body 3, and the tray 2 There is a linear groove 5 perpendicular to the front panel and the rear panel in the middle, and there is a fixing plate 10 in the middle of the lower edge of the front panel and the rear panel corresponding to the linear groove 5, and an elastic clip is arranged on the tray 2 between the front panel and the rear panel 13. The elastic clip 13 is fixed on the tray 2 through the clip holes 14 distributed on the tray 2. The fixing plate 10 is fixed by screws and slides in the linear groove 5 to adjust the width between the front panel and the rear panel to form the volume of the box body 3. The adjustment structure of the box body 3 is provided with a reference scale 12 on the front panel of the box body 3, which is used for measuring the length of the animal as a reference. 1. Both the infrared sensing device 7 and the imaging device 8 are connected to the control and display 11, and are used for the adjustment and control of each device and the display and reading of various index data of experimental animals. The control and display 11 are arranged on the side of the electronic scale 1, and the box Animal access door 6 is arranged on the right panel of body 3, and electric wire and plug (not shown in the figure) are arranged on the lower edge corner of electronic scale 1, and provide power for the whole instrument by connecting with external power supply.

In order to ensure the use effect, the animal access door 6 is a push-pull or rotary door body.

The tray 2 is plate-shaped, the area of the tray 2 is greater than the area of the bottom of the casing 3, and the food plate 4 is higher than the tray 2, so that the body of the animal is more straight when eating, and the accuracy of body length measurement is improved.

The box body 3 is a light-transmitting three-dimensional box, and its light-transmitting property not only facilitates the experimenter to observe the animal situation, but also facilitates the imaging device 8 to take pictures.

A limiting groove 15 is opened on the right panel below the described animal access door 6, and the elastic clip 13 is clamped in the limiting groove 15.

The use of the present invention is that the box body 3 is a bottomless light-transmitting three-dimensional box, and its light-transmitting property not only facilitates the experimenter to observe the animal situation, but also facilitates the imaging device 8 to take pictures. The front panel and the rear panel of the box body 3 are The movable panel has a fixed plate 10 in the middle of the lower edge of the front panel and the rear panel, corresponding to the linear groove 5, and a screw passes through the fixed plate 10 and the linear groove 5, and the sliding of the screw in the linear groove 5 can Adjust and fix the two movable panels, realize the equidistant adjustment of the front panel and the rear panel through the elastic clip 13, and adjust the volume of the box body 3 . This can not only ensure that animals of different sizes can enter the box, but also limit the range of activities of the animals, and avoid the situation that the animal cannot be measured due to excessive activity. In addition, a number of air holes 9 are distributed on the front panel and the rear panel to ensure that the box body during measurement Internal and external gas flow. The infrared sensing device 7 is arranged on the rear panel of the box body 3, and is used for measuring the body temperature of the experimental animal. The data is displayed on the control and display 11, and different parts of the experimental animal can be measured by increasing the number of infrared sensing devices.

Animal body weight measurement of the present invention is to utilize conventional electronic weighing principle; Body temperature measurement principle is that control and display 11 controls infrared sensing device 7 to measure, and then infrared sensing device 7 feeds back the result to control and display 11, and control and display 11 processes and Display results; the principle of body length measurement is to obtain a constant scale by setting various parameters. After the control and display 11 receives the result of the imaging device 8, the image length can be converted into the actual length and displayed; The measurement principle of the situation is that after the control and display 11 receives and processes the result of the imaging device 8, it compares it with the previous one or several times of results, and then judges the coat condition of the animal.

The above description and application of the present invention are illustrative and not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention within.

The beneficial effect of the present invention is that: currently, multiple separate measurements are still used for the measurement of experimental animal indexes, and there is no equipment that integrates multiple index measurements, and the present invention fills up this gap.
