Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, in which, fig. 1 is a schematic overall structure diagram of an observation device for observing animal activities according to an embodiment of the present application; FIG. 2 is a schematic view of the corresponding apparatus of FIG. 1 before assembly; in the embodiment, the observation device for observing the animal activity is provided, and the observation device can be particularly used for observing the activity condition of the animal, such as the head activity or the vertebra activity of the animal; and the device compares in prior art with the scheme of observation device direct mount on the animal body, observation subassembly 11 in the device sets up in supporting component 12 and/or sets up in the fixed subassembly of rotation connection on supporting component 12 to can the significantly reduced animal bear the weight of, and then effectively reduce because of the animal bears the weight of the influence that causes the animal activity.
Specifically, the observation device for observing the movement of the animal specifically comprises an observation assembly 11, a supporting assembly 12 and a fixing assembly (not shown).
Wherein, the observation component 11 is arranged on the supporting component 12 and/or the fixing component and is used for observing the movement of the animal. Specifically, the observation component 11 may include a wired electrode recorder, an on-body membrane clamp, and the like.
Specifically, the observation assembly 11 is arranged on the supporting assembly 12 and/or the fixing assembly, and observation equipment borne by the animal in the prior art can be borne by the supporting assembly 12 and/or the fixing assembly, so that the bearing weight of the animal is reduced, and the influence on the movement of the animal caused by the overweight bearing of the animal is further effectively reduced.
In an embodiment, the observation assembly 11 is specifically disposed on the fixing assembly, so that the fixing assembly and the animal are kept relatively still, and therefore, the accuracy of observation results and/or the convenience of operation can be improved in the process of observing and/or operating the animal.
In another embodiment, since the carrying surface of the supporting member 12 has a larger area than that of the carrying surface of the fixing member, the observing member 11 can be disposed on the supporting member 12, so as to carry a larger volume and weight of the observing member 11 while ensuring the animal to move freely, and increase the possibility of using more observing members 11 to obtain more experimental data.
Of course, in other embodiments, part of the observation assembly 11 may be disposed on the supporting assembly 12, and part of the observation assembly 11 may be disposed on the fixing assembly; it can be understood that, because the observation device in the prior art is directly carried by the animal, some devices which are more complex and delicate or heavier in weight cannot be applied to animal activity research in order to reduce the influence of the observation device on the animal activity; in order to further reduce the bearing load of the animals so that the animals can move, observation equipment arranged on the animals can be reduced as much as possible, but the light weight design necessarily limits functions; in the application, the supporting component 12 capable of freely moving and the fixing component rotationally connected to the supporting component 12 are arranged, so that the observation component 11 is borne by the supporting component 12 and/or the fixing component, the movement of animals is not influenced, and the existing problems can be effectively solved; it is understood that the observation assembly 11 in the present application corresponds to an observation device in the prior art.
