[0026] The end of the right-angle block 112 is a downwardly sloping surface, the bottom of the vertical groove 111 is higher than the lowest point of the bottom of the inclined surface of the right-angle block 112, the limiting plate 19 passes through the vertical groove 111, a pair of L-shaped plates 16 are arranged symmetrically, and a supporting leg is fixedly provided at the bottom of the L-shaped plate 16, a cross bar 12 passes through the arc groove 114, one end of the rotating rod 115 is a rectangular parallelepiped, the limiting nail 119 passes through the rectangular parallelepiped at the end of the rotating rod 115, the shift plate 121 passes through the limiting groove 118, and the limiting nail 119 passes through the limiting groove 118.

[0027] In the specific implementation process, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, by lifting the limit plate 19 upwards, removing the restriction of the right-angle block 112, opening the railing door 13, putting the animal into the breeding cage, closing the railing door 13, the limit plate 19 passes through the inclined surface of the right-angle block 112, is lifted upwards through the vertical groove 111, and then passes through the inclined surface on the right-angle block 112, and falls through the right-angle block 112 to limit the limit plate 19 by gravity, and the railing door 13 is closed. The excrement of the animal will fall into the partition 17 through the gap between the bottom rods 14 for collection. When adding food, lift the dial plate 121 upwards, and the dial plate 121 drives the limit pin 119 to move upward to squeeze the spring 120, canceling the limit pin 119 from the rectangular parallelepiped at the end of the rotating rod 115, so that the rotating rod 115 passes through the sleeve 113 around the reinforcing column 11 The rotating rod 115 drives the food pool 117 to rotate out of the breeding cage through the placement groove 116, and the food pool 117 is taken out from the placement groove 116. The rotating rod 115 is turned back for limiting. After the food pool 117 is cleaned and filled with food, it is opened again to place the food inside. The limiting nail 119 is inserted into the rectangular body at the end of the rotating rod 115 to limit it, and the filling of food is completed. Through the coordinated use of the sleeve 113, the arc groove 114, the rotating rod 115, the placement groove 116, the food pool 117, the limiting groove 118, the limiting nail 119, the spring 120 and the dial plate 121, the food pool 117 can be taken out when filling food, and the inside can be cleaned before adding food to prevent food from spoiling and excrement from causing animal illness.

[0028] Embodiment 2: In embodiment 1, there is still a problem that supplementary lighting and heat dissipation and cooling for animals cannot be performed as needed. Therefore, based on embodiment 1, this embodiment also includes:

[0029] A pair of square holes 2 are opened on the top plate 15, and cooling fans 21 are fixed in the square holes 2. A fill light 22 is fixed at the bottom of the top plate 15. A control switch 23 is fixed on the top plate 15. The control switch 23 is electrically connected to the cooling fan 21 and the fill light 22. The control switch 23 is located at the top center of the top plate 15, and the fill light 22 is located at the bottom center of the top plate 15. The cooling fans 21 are parallel to the upper surface of the top plate 15.

[0030] In the specific implementation process, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the light condition is not good, the fill light 22 at the bottom of the top plate 15 is started by the control switch 23, and the inside of the breeding cage is filled with light by the fill light 22, so that the staff can observe the status of the animals conveniently. When the temperature is high, the cooling fan 21 can be started, and the cooling fan 21 rotates to generate wind to cool the animals. Through the coordinated use of the square hole 2, the cooling fan 21, the fill light 22 and the control switch 23, fill light can be provided when the light adjustment is poor, and the animals can also be cooled.

After passing through the inclined surface on the right-angle block 112, it falls by gravity and limits the limit plate 19 through the right-angle block 112. Close the railing door 13, and the animal's excrement will fall into the partition 17 through the gap between the bottom bars 14 for collection. When adding food, lift the dial plate 121 upwards, and the dial plate 121 drives the limit nail 1 19 moves the compression spring 120 upward, cancels the limit of the limit pin 119 from the rectangular parallelepiped at the end of the rotating rod 115, and allows the rotating rod 115 to rotate around the reinforcing column 11 through the sleeve 113. The rotating rod 115 drives the food pool 117 to rotate out of the breeding cage through the placement groove 116, and the food pool 117 is taken out of the placement groove 116. The rotating rod 115 is turned back for limiting. After cleaning and filling the food pool 117, it is opened again to place it inside, and the limit pin 119 is inserted into the rectangular parallelepiped at the end of the rotating rod 115 to limit it, and the filling of food is completed;

[0033] Step 2: When the light condition is not good, the fill light 22 at the bottom of the top plate 15 is started by the control switch 23, and the inside of the breeding cage is illuminated by the fill light 22, so that the staff can observe the state of the animals conveniently. When the temperature is high, the cooling fan 21 can be started, and the cooling fan 21 rotates to generate wind to cool the animals;

[0034] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
