如图3和图4所示,笼箱(5)的进水口(20)设于笼箱(5)背部,并连接有贯穿笼箱(5)和笼体(6)内外的进水管(21),笼体(6)背部相应设有与供进水管(21)进入的条状孔。所述进水管(21)呈斜置,笼箱(5)外侧高 于笼体(6)内侧,进水管(21)位于笼体(6)内侧的管口内设有可滚动的珠体(22),进水管(21)的内侧管口直径小于所述珠体(22)直径,笼体(6)内动物需要喝水时,触碰管口内所述珠体(22),上顶珠体(22)略微,水即流出。如图5所示,饮水单元,包括储水器(23)、加热器、水泵和输水管(24)。输水管(24)设有八个输水口分别与上述各笼箱(5)的进水口(20)连接,用于将饮用水流入各所述笼体(6)中。加热器设于储水器(23)内,可对储水器(23)内水进行加热消毒,输水管(24)依次与进水管(21)连通,水泵将经加热器加热后的饮用水流入各笼体(6)的进水管(21)中,加热器和所述水泵由控制单元中的控制器连接和控制并设定运行时长和间隔时间,研究实验人员可设定水加热温度、输水间隔和输水量等。
如图1所示,换气单元,包括换气机(25)和换气管(26),换气机(25)设于左笼架(3)与右笼架(3)之间,换气机(25)由控制单元的控制器连接和控制并设定运行时长和间隔时间,换气管(26)设有八个换气端分别与各笼箱(5)的换气口(27)连接,根据研究实验人员的设定,对各笼体(6)内进行换气通风。所述笼箱(5)背部还设有通气口(28),架体(1)表面安装有通气管道(29),通气口(28)与通气管道(29)连接,通气管道(29)出口向上,对各笼体(6)进行通气,在换气机(25)间隔期不运转时,可通过通气口(28)与通气管道(29)排换气,避免笼体(6)和笼箱(5)内空气不流通。
废料收集单元,包括废料收集器(30)和排渣管道(31),排渣管道(31)设有八个废料收集口分别与笼箱(5)的排渣口连接,废渣收集器设于排渣管道(31)的出口处,各笼箱(5)清洗出的废渣落入废渣收集器中。排渣口于笼箱(5)背面底部,并位于垫料网台(14)的下层网(16)下方。同时所述笼箱(5)正表面下方设有一个或多个冲洗口(32),冲洗口(32)通过管道与冲洗水源连接,用于冲洗笼箱(5)底面并将废垫料和实验动物排泄物。
消毒单元,包括消毒液口(33)和消毒液输送管道。消毒液口(33)设于各笼箱(5)顶部,消毒液口(33)安装有电喷雾嘴,电喷雾嘴由控制器连接和控制并设定运行时长和间隔时间,消毒液输送管道设有若干消毒液输液口分别与上述雾化喷嘴的进液口连接,研究实验人员可通过设定喷雾时长和间隔时间,定时使消毒液雾化后进入笼箱(5)和笼体(6)中,避免笼体(6)内滋生病菌等。 例如,可设定为在喷洒消毒液前,先以光照拟喷洒一半,让饲养动物通过条件反射预知即将喷洒消毒液而移动到另一半,随后喷洒消毒液,如此交替,从而避免消毒液对饲养动物带来影响。
本发明实施例饲养系统的各单元、结构,可对饲养过程的进水、进食、更换垫料、换气、冲洗废渣、消毒等工作实现较高程度自动化和半封闭化,在保证笼体(6)内动物可规律供应水、食物等必须物同时,相比传统的人工饲养操作,亦可最大程度的避免病原体滋生。
以上所述仅表达了本发明的优选实施方式,其描述较为具体和详细,但并不能因此而理解为对本发明专利范围的限制。应当指出的是,对于本领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本发明构思的前提下,还可以做出若干变形、改进及替代,这些都属于本发明的保护范围。因此,本发明专利的保护范围应以所附权利要求为准。
