Specific implementation manner

[0031] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0032] Embodiment 1

[0033] As Figures 1-6 shown, a breeding device applicable to reptiles and amphibians proposed by the present invention includes a substrate 1. A cleaning mechanism is arranged inside the substrate 1. The cleaning mechanism includes a drive motor 3 arranged inside the substrate 1. A threaded rod 4 is arranged at the output end of the drive motor 3. A moving plate 5 is threadedly connected to the side of the threaded rod 4 close to the drive motor 3. A cleaning flexible plate 6 is fixedly connected below the moving plate 5. A feeding trough 7 is fixedly connected below the substrate 1. A telescopic water pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the moving plate 5 close to the cleaning flexible plate 6. A spray head 9 is arranged on the side of the telescopic water pipe 8 away from the moving plate 5. A water pump box 10 is arranged on the side of the telescopic water pipe 8 away from the spray head 9. After the drive motor 3 is started, the moving plate 5 is driven to move through the threaded rod 4. When the moving plate 5 moves, the cleaning flexible plate 6 is driven to slide on the inner wall of the feeding trough 7. When the moving plate 5 moves, the telescopic water pipe 8 is also driven to extend. The spray head 9 moves along with the telescopic water pipe 8 and sprays water through the water pump box 10.

[0034] A square groove 2 is opened inside the substrate 1. The drive motor 3 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the square groove 2. The threaded rod 4 is rotatably connected to the square groove 2. The moving plate 5 is slidably connected to the square groove 2.

[0035] Side plates 11 are fixedly connected above the substrate 1. A feeding port 12 is embedded inside the side plates 11.

[0036] The inner side of the feeding trough 7 away from the substrate 1 is rotatably connected with a rotating rod group 13. A sliding plate 14 is fixedly connected above the rotating rod group 13. A food plate 15 is arranged on the side of the sliding plate 14 away from the rotating rod group 13.

[0037] The side of the feeding trough 7 is fixedly connected with a flat slope 16, and an inclined water pool 17 is arranged on the side of the flat slope 16 away from the feeding trough 7.

[0038] A waste outlet groove 26 is opened on the side of the feeding trough 7 close to the rotating rod group 13.

[0039] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism arranged inside the starting substrate 1 is started, and the driving motor 3 in the cleaning mechanism starts to operate. The driving motor 3 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the square groove 2 opened inside the substrate 1. When the driving motor 3 operates, it starts to control the threaded rod 4 arranged at its output end to rotate, so that the other end of the threaded rod 4 rotates on the inner wall of the square groove 2. A moving plate 5 is externally threaded on the outer side of the threaded rod 4 close to the driving motor 3. The threaded rod 4 rotates inside the moving plate 5 and generates spiral power. Since the moving plate 5 is slidably connected with the inner wall of the square groove 2, the moving plate 5 cannot rotate accordingly and can only move accordingly. When the moving plate 5 moves, it drives the cleaning soft plate 6 fixedly installed below it to move. A feeding trough 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the substrate 1, so that the cleaning soft plate 6 moves inside the feeding trough 7 to clean the residues on the inner wall of the feeding trough 7. When the moving plate 5 moves, it will drive the telescopic water pipe 8 fixed inside it to move. When the telescopic water pipe 8 moves, it will drive its own structure to elongate. When the telescopic water pipe 8 moves, it drives the spray head 9 arranged at its port to move. The water pump box 10 transmits water source to the spray head 9 through the telescopic water pipe 8, and sprays it into the feeding trough 7 through the spray head 9, and cooperates with the moving cleaning soft plate 6 to perform a non-dead-angle and rapid cleaning operation on the inside of the feeding trough 7. Finally, it is discharged through the waste outlet groove 26 opened inside the feeding trough 7, so that there is no food residue inside the device.

[0040] A side plate 11 is fixedly connected above the substrate 1. The feeding operation of the feed is carried out through the feeding port 12 embedded inside the side plate 11. The feeding port 12 transmits the feed into the feeding trough 7. A rotating rod group 13 is rotatably connected inside the feeding trough 7. At this time, the staff can drive the slide plate 14 fixedly connected with the driving motor 3 to rotate by rotating the driving motor 3. The rotation of the slide plate 14 drives the food eating plate 15 to rotate, so that the food eating plate 15 rotates to fit with the flat slope 16 fixedly connected to the side of the feeding trough 7. At this time, the feed is transmitted to the inside of the food eating plate 15 through multiple slide plates 14, so that reptiles and amphibians can eat. After eating, the driving motor 3 is used to rotate multiple slide plates 14 and the food eating plate 15 back to their original positions. The food residues on the slide plate 14 and the food eating plate 15 can be cleaned by the soft hairs arranged on the side of the cleaning soft plate 6.
