Description

Mouse Behavior Continuous Observation Monitoring System

technical field

The utility model relates to a mouse behavior observation system.

Background technique

Due to the limitation of equipment, long-term video surveillance of mouse behavior in the past required a huge cost, especially at night. In the prior art, home-cage is widely used to raise mice, and this home-cage is equivalent to the M-2 type mouse breeding box widely used in China. The Home-Cage consists of a white opaque plastic box with a metal grid-like top cover. There are places for food and drinking water bottles on the metal top cover, and the distance between the compartments is about 0.5 cm. The M-2 rat box widely used in China has the same basic structure and size as the Home-Cage, but it is slightly trapezoidal, the bottom area is smaller than the top area, and the height is about 14 cm. But this kind of mouse box cannot be used to observe the behavior of mice and related surveillance video.

Utility model content

The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that the existing mouse box cannot be used to observe the behavior of mice and related monitoring video, and to provide a monitoring system for uninterrupted observation of mouse behavior. The utility model comprises an observation box support 1, a camera support 2, a mouse observation box 3 and a camera 4, the mouse observation box 3 is arranged in the observation box support 1, the camera support 2 is relatively arranged with the observation box support 1, and the camera 4 is fixed on On the camera bracket 2, the camera 4 is set corresponding to the mouse observation box 3. The utility model is used for animal behavior of mice and experimental animal behavior observation. The continuous observation of behavior can intuitively reflect the changes in the behavioral rhythm of mice in different environments and physiological cycles, which provides a reference for the scientific management of experimental mice, the reasonable selection of physiological, pharmacological, and behavioral experiment time, and the extraction of relevant experimental data. And the long-term continuous video recording behavior observation method and the design of the monitoring system can be further applied to the production management and research of other experimental animals, livestock and poultry and economic animals. The utility model can eliminate the influence of human subjective factors to the greatest extent. When the detection system is unified, the detection index should also be unified. Through training, the detection results caused by the differences in operator quality and experience can be greatly reduced. This is extremely beneficial for the communication between laboratories and the inheritance of the work of previous researchers. The traditional behavior observation method mainly adopts the method of directly observing and recording behavior data, which cannot effectively observe multiple animals at the same time, let alone replay the recorded important behaviors, and the observation effect is greatly affected by the experience and ability of the experimenters. The camera with night vision function can comprehensively record all the behaviors of mice day and night. Not only can it record all the details, but also can purposefully watch and analyze specific behaviors based on the final test results, which cannot be done by traditional direct observation methods. The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, flexible movement, good observation effect, accurate recording, less investment and easy popularization.

Detailed ways

Specific embodiment one: (referring to Fig. 1～Fig. 2) this embodiment is made up of observation box support 1, camera support 2, mouse observation box 3 and camera 4, and mouse observation box 3 is arranged in the observation box support 1, and camera The support 2 is set opposite to the observation box support 1, the camera 4 is fixed on the camera support 2, and the camera 4 is set corresponding to the mouse observation box 3.

Specific embodiment two: (referring to Fig. 2) the difference between this embodiment and specific embodiment one is, on the back wall of mouse observation box 3, have through hole 8, the diameter of through hole 8 is 10mm. Through hole 8 is used to accommodate the water nozzle of drinking fountain, and the drinking fountain of mice should be placed on the outside of mouse observation box 3, is convenient to change, add water on the one hand, reduces interference to the mice in the box on the other hand. Set the opening to the back, mainly considering that the water bottle is placed at the rear, which will not affect the video observation. In addition, setting the drinking area to the corner and putting feed in this area can artificially induce mice to use this area as a feeding area. Others are the same as in the first embodiment.

Specific embodiment three: (referring to Fig. 2) the difference between this embodiment and specific embodiment two is, have flat hole 7 on the side wall low end of mouse observation box 3, and the height of flat hole 7 is 8～10mm . In this embodiment, a 0.8-1 cm high slit is opened on the side of the box wall (above the bottom surface of the box), and its function is to directly push the waste out of the slit when cleaning the observation box, saving the trouble of flipping back and forth. Others are the same as in the second embodiment.

Specific embodiment four: (see Fig. 2) the difference between this embodiment and specific embodiment three is that it increases the first pad 5 and the second pad 6, the thickness of the first pad 5 is 5mm, and the thickness of the second pad 6 Thickness is 15mm, and the first pad 5 is fixed on the bottom of the mouse observation box 3 on one side of the flat hole 7, and the second pad 6 is fixed on the bottom of the mouse observation box 3 on the other side of the first pad 5. Others are the same as in the third embodiment. During long-term rearing, mice produce large amounts of feces and urine. Through previous observations, mice usually urinate in a fixed position, and defecation is not very fixed, but in the sleeping area of mice, feces are generally not seen. When the observation box is placed on a plane, the observation box is slightly inclined to the side of the flat hole 7 through the feet of different heights on both sides of the bottom of the observation box. Like this, after the mouse urinates, the urine will flow to one side, and like this, slowly, the urine mainly concentrates on one side of the flat hole 7, and induces the mouse to use the side of the flat hole 7 of the mouse box as an excretion area. After the mouse uses one side of the flat hole 7 as the excretion area, a part of each urination and defecation will be directly excluded from the observation box through the gap on the left side, so that the box can be kept clean for a longer period of time.

Embodiment 5: (see FIG. 2 ) The length (L)*width (W)*height (H) of the mouse observation box 3 in this embodiment equals 300mm*200mm*250mm. Others are the same as in Embodiment 4.

Embodiment 6: (see FIG. 2 ) The length (L)*width (W)*height (H) of the mouse observation box 3 in this embodiment equals 200mm*100mm*250mm. Others are the same as in Embodiment 4.

Embodiment 7: (see FIG. 2 ) The length (L)×width (W)×height (H) of the mouse observation box 3 in this embodiment is equal to 600mm×400mm×300mm. Others are the same as in Embodiment 4.
