Description

Automatic water supply system for animal syrup preference Technical Field The utility model relates to the technical field of syrup preference experiments, in particular to an automatic water supply system for animal syrup preference. Background In the fields of pharmacological, nutritional and behavioral research, metabolic cages (Metabolic Cage) are key experimental devices. The animal monitoring system integrates the functions of environmental control, physiological parameter monitoring and excrement collection, can synchronously acquire data such as animal food intake, water intake, urine/excrement discharge, activity and the like, and plays an important role in revealing the metabolic rule of substances, evaluating the toxicity of medicines and researching metabolic disease mechanisms. However, the existing structure metabolism cage system has the defects that the water intake monitoring of the excrement collecting device is easily influenced by dripping and splashing of animals, and the weight sensor often misjudges the water intake. In food intake monitoring, food debris is prone to fall into the fecal collection area, miscounted as fecal weight, resulting in data bias. In addition, the microenvironment in the closed cage is influenced by animal body heat and respiration, and the local temperature and humidity are easy to deviate from a set value, so that the concentration degree of urine or the water intake of animals is changed, and the experimental result is disturbed; In the syrup preference experiment, the conventional water supply device mostly adopts a timing and quantitative water supply mode, the water supply mode lacks flexibility and cannot be dynamically adjusted according to actual drinking water demands of animals, when the animals do not drink water, the device still discharges water flow according to preset time to cause waste of water resources, when the animals drink water in a large amount, the situation of insufficient water flow and water supply can occur, normal behavior of the animals in the experiment is influenced, experimental data are inaccurate, and practicality and reliability of the water supply device in the syrup preference experiment are reduced.
