[0019] See also Figure 2 The feeding mechanism 3 includes a feeding mechanism 31 connected to the cage body 1 at the top. The feeding mechanism 31 can store grain inside and can stably feed it to the animals. A water pipe 32 is fixed to the front end of the feeding mechanism 31. The top of the water pipe 32 is connected to a water injection bucket 33. The water injection bucket 33 extends out of the top of the top plate 2. A water storage mechanism 34 for storing water is installed at the bottom of the feeding mechanism 31. A tray 35 is provided at the bottom of the water storage mechanism 34. The tray 35 is used to carry water for the animals to drink.

[0020] See also Figure 3 The feeding mechanism 31 includes a shell 311 fixed to the upper end of the top plate 2, a limiting member 312 is fixed at the rear end of the shell 311, a toggle member 314 is installed at the lower end of the shell 311, the toggle member 314 is flexible, and is provided with six groups of toggle bars, a rotating shaft 315 is installed in the middle of the toggle member 314, and the bottom of the rotating shaft 315 passes through the shell 311 and is connected to the water storage mechanism 34, and feeding tubes 313 communicating with the inside of the shell 311 are fixed at the lower ends of both sides of the shell 311, and the feeding tubes 313 can receive the dialed food and guide it out for animals to eat.

[0021] See also Figure 4-Figure 5The water storage mechanism 34 includes a shell 341, the top of the shell 341 is connected to the outer shell 311, and the bottom is fixed to the top rear end of the tray 35. A bidirectional motor 342 is arranged at the upper middle end of the shell 341, and the top output shaft of the bidirectional motor 342 is connected to the rotating shaft 315, and another set of output shafts at the bottom of the bidirectional motor 342 is connected to the connecting shaft 343, and the bottom of the connecting shaft 343 is connected to the opening and closing member 344, and the opening and closing member 344 is placed at the bottom of the tray 35, and the top of the opening and closing member 344 is placed at the lower end of the shell 341; A fixing frame 344a is fixed in the middle of the opening and closing member 344, and the middle of the fixing frame 344a is connected to the connecting shaft 343. Water outlets 344b are opened at two opposite ends of the outer side of the opening and closing member 344. A silicone sealing layer is attached to the contact position between the opening and closing member 344 and the shell 341.

[0022] The specific implementation process is as follows: When the metal cage needs to be used, the block 5 is pulled out, the movable plate 4 is taken out, and then the animal is put into the cage body 1, and then the movable plate 4 is reset and closed. If the animal in the cage body 1 needs to be fed, the food is poured from the top of the outer shell 311 and stored inside, and water is injected into the shell 341 through the water injection hopper 33 to the water conduit 32; When feeding is needed, the bidirectional motor 342 is started to work, and the output shaft at the top of the bidirectional motor 342 drives the rotating shaft 315 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating shaft 315, the outer toggle member 314 rotates accordingly. Since the toggle member 314 is flexible, it is blocked and squeezed by the rear end limit member 312 during the rotation and then separated, generating centrifugal force, so that the food inside the housing 311 can be pulled out from the feeding tube 313 for the animal to eat. When the bidirectional motor 342 is in operation, the output shaft at the bottom rotates to drive the connecting shaft 343 to rotate. During the rotation of the connecting shaft 343, the opening and closing member 344 at the bottom moves accordingly. When the water outlet 344b is exposed during the movement, water can be discharged into the tray 35 for the animals to drink.
