Experimental device for testing degree of thermal comfort of experimental animals

Abstract

The invention discloses an experimental device for testing the degree of thermal comfort of experimental animals. An experimental group air flue and a comparative group air flue are arranged, same experimental rods are arranged below the air outlets of the air flues, multiple retention trays are arranged at intervals on the experimental rods, and the temperature and humidity of the air which flowsout of the air outlet of the experimental group air flue can be adjusted through a thermostat and a humidistat which are arranged in the experimental group air flue and connected with control valves;the number of the experimental animals which gather on the retention trays of the experimental rods can be observed, the temperature-humidity range suitable for growth of the experimental animals canbe found out conveniently, and then the degree of thermal comfort of the experimental animals can be determined. The experimental device has a simple structure, low cost, low cost of maintenance andoperation and easy promotion and application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an experimental device, in particular to an experimental device for testing thermal comfort of experimental animals. Background technique [0002] Experimental animals are widely used in drug testing, cosmetic testing, toxicology testing and scientific research, which is conducive to discovering and solving new knowledge or specific problems in biology and medicine. [0003] Thermal comfort has important implications not only for humans, but also for laboratory animals. Experimental animals have a certain ability to adapt to the thermal environment. If there is a slight discomfort in the thermal environment, the experimental animals can tolerate and adapt to it for a period of time, but a good thermal comfort environment is more conducive to the growth of animals and facilitates experimental research on animals. At the same time, Experimental animals do not possess human-specific language, and it is difficult to determine the ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Experimental animals have a certain ability to adapt to the thermal environment. If there is a slight discomfort in the thermal environment, the experimental animals can tolerate and adapt to it for a period of time, but a good thermal comfort environment is more conducive to the growth of animals and facilitates experimental research on animals. At the same time, Experimental animals do not have human-specific language, and it is difficult to determine the more comfortable growth temperature and humidity range

Therefore, how to determine the thermal comfort environment suitable for the growth of experimental animals is very critical. However, the existing thermal environment simulation cabins for experimental animals are complex in structure, expensive in cost, and high in maintenance and operation costs.
