[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a veterinary mammal production cage includes a base plate 1 with multiple sets of through grooves for excrement to fall naturally into a waste collection box 5. A production chamber 2 and an activity chamber 3 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate 1. The production chamber 2 is used for the mother animal to give birth, and the activity chamber 3 is used for the mother animal to move around. A heating mechanism 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the production chamber 2 to provide a suitable temperature. The waste collection box 5 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the base plate 1, and a placement box 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the waste collection box 5. A limiting plate 7 is provided inside the placement box 6, and a first toothed rack 10 and a second toothed rack 10 are slidably installed on the upper surface of the limiting plate 7. A scraper 12 and a brush 13 for cleaning excrement are respectively fixedly installed at one end of the rack 11, the first rack 10 and the second rack 11 via a fixing block, and the scraper 12 and the brush 13 are in contact with the base plate 1. A gear 8 is meshed with the toothed side of the first rack 10 and the second rack 11. A first rotating shaft 9 is fixed inside the gear 8, and the first rotating shaft 9 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the placement box 6 via a bearing. A drive mechanism 14 is fixedly installed at the end of the first rotating shaft 9 away from the gear 8 to drive the first rotating shaft 9 to rotate. A sewage discharge mechanism 16 is provided at one end of the drive mechanism 14, and the sewage discharge mechanism 16 is located inside the sewage collection box 5.

[0027] Specifically, the production room 2 is used for the mother animal to give birth to her cubs, and the activity room 3 is used for the mother animal to move around. The cubs need to be kept warm in the production room 2, and a heating mechanism 4 provides a suitable temperature for both the mother animal's birth and the cubs' growth. The excrement of the mother animal and the cubs falls onto the base plate 1 and the waste collection box 5. The operator starts the dual-shaft motor 144. One output of the dual-shaft motor 144 drives the main half-cone gear 141 to rotate. The main half-cone gear 141 meshes with the first driven bevel gear 142 and the second driven bevel gear 143, causing the first rotating shaft 9 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 9 carries... The rotating gear 8 causes the first rack 10 and the second rack 11, which mesh with the gear 8, to reciprocate in a linear motion. The first rack 10 and the second rack 11 drive the brush 13 and the scraper 12 to reciprocate on the bottom surface of the base plate 1 through the fixed block. The brush 13 and the scraper 12 clean the excrement on the base plate 1 and the inner wall of the collection tank 5 through the through groove opened on the base plate 1. Then, in conjunction with the sewage discharge mechanism 16, the excrement in the collection tank 5 is pushed to the sewage discharge port 17 and finally discharged from the sewage discharge port 17, realizing automatic sewage discharge and keeping the inside of the collection tank 5 clean.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the heating mechanism 4 includes a mounting box 41 fixedly installed on one side of the production chamber 2. A heating box 44 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting box 41. A heating tube 45 for heating is provided inside the heating box 44. A fan 43 is provided on the lower surface of the heating box 44. The output end of a first motor 42 is sleeved inside the fan 43. The first motor 42 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the mounting box 41. An air outlet pipe 46 is installed through the upper surface of the mounting box 41. One end of the air outlet pipe 46 extends into the production chamber 2. A diversion pipe 47 is fixedly installed at the end of the air outlet pipe 46 located in the production chamber 2. A porous heat-conducting pipe 48 is symmetrically installed on one side of the diversion pipe 47. Multiple sets of heat dissipation holes are opened on the surfaces of the porous heat-conducting pipe 48 and the heating box 44 for conveying hot air.

[0029] Specifically, when it is necessary to raise the temperature of production chamber 2, the heating tube 45 is energized and heats up, converting electrical energy into heat energy, which raises the temperature of the air inside the heating box 44. As a closed cavity, the heat dissipation holes on the surface of the heating box 44 control the flow rate of hot air, so that the internal temperature rises rapidly and stabilizes within the set range. The first motor 42 starts, and the output end of the first motor 42 drives the fan 43 to rotate, forming a forced airflow from the heating box 44 to the air outlet duct 46. The air pressure generated by the fan 43 forces the hot air into the air outlet duct 46 and delivers it to the distribution pipe 47 in production chamber 2 through the pipeline. After entering the distribution pipe 47, the hot air is further distributed through the symmetrically distributed porous heat conduction pipes 48 to ensure uniform heat diffusion. The dense heat dissipation holes on the surface of the porous heat conduction pipes 48 allow the hot air to be released slowly in the form of microflows. By adjusting the power of the heating tube 45 or the speed of the fan 43, the output of hot air can be controlled to achieve temperature gradient regulation in production chamber 2.

[0030] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the drive mechanism 14 includes a first trailing bevel gear 142 and a second trailing bevel gear 143 respectively fixedly sleeved on one end surface of the first rotating shaft 9. A main half-bevel gear 141 is meshed with one side of the first trailing bevel gear 142 and the second trailing bevel gear 143. One output end of a dual-axis motor 144 is sleeved inside the main half-bevel gear 141, and the dual-axis motor 144 is fixedly installed on one side of the sludge collection tank 5. One output end of the dual-axis motor 144 away from the main half-bevel gear 141 passes through into the sludge collection tank 5 and is fixedly connected to the sewage discharge mechanism 16. The sewage discharge mechanism 16 includes a third rotating shaft 161 fixedly connected to one output end of the dual-axis motor 144 that passes through into the sludge collection tank 5. A spiral blade 162 for conveying excrement is fixedly installed on the surface of the third rotating shaft 161. A sewage discharge port 17 is opened on one side of the sludge collection tank 5, and the sewage discharge port 17 is adapted to the spiral blade 162.

[0031] Specifically, after the dual-axis motor 144 is powered on and started, its two output ends begin to rotate, outputting power. When one output end of the dual-axis motor 144 drives the main half-bevel gear 141 to rotate, the first driven bevel gear 142 and the second driven bevel gear 143, which mesh with the main half-bevel gear 141, mesh with the grooved side of the first rack 10 and the second rack 11 when the gear 8 rotates, due to the meshing principle of the gear 8. According to the gear 8 rack transmission principle, the rotation of the gear 8 will cause the first rack 10 to mesh with the grooved side of the second rack 11. The first rack 10 and the second rack 11 reciprocate linearly. The first rack 10 and the second rack 11 drive the scraper 12 and the brush 13 to clean the excrement from the bottom plate 1. The other output end of the dual-axis motor 144 passes through the sludge collection box 5 and is fixedly connected to the sewage discharge mechanism 16. When the dual-axis motor 144 rotates, the other output end of the dual-axis motor 144 drives the third rotating shaft 161 and the spiral blade 162 to rotate, transporting the excrement in the sludge collection box 5 to the sewage discharge port 17 and discharging it, thus completing the sewage discharge function.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, casters 18 are fixedly installed at all four corners of the waste collection box 5 facing the bottom.

[0033] Specifically, the 18 casters can rotate freely 360°, allowing the production cages to move flexibly within the farm. Whether it's adjusting the layout, transferring to different breeding areas, or cooperating with cleaning equipment for overall cleaning, it can be done quickly, greatly reducing the difficulty and time cost of manual handling.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] Production chamber 2 is used by the mother animal to give birth to her cubs. An exit is located on one side of production chamber 2, allowing the mother animal free access. Activity chamber 3 is used by the mother animal for movement. After giving birth, the temperature of production chamber 2 needs to be raised. The operator energizes the heating element 45, converting electrical energy into heat energy, which raises the temperature of the air inside the heating chamber 44. The heating chamber 44 is a closed cavity, and its surface ventilation holes control the flow rate of hot air, allowing the internal temperature to rise rapidly and stabilize within a set range. The first motor 42 starts, and its output drives the fan. The fan 43 rotates, creating a forced airflow from the heating chamber 44 to the outlet duct 46. The air pressure generated by the fan 43 forces the hot air into the outlet duct 46, and then transports it through the pipe to the distribution pipe 47 in the production chamber 2. After entering the distribution pipe 47, the hot air undergoes secondary distribution through symmetrically distributed porous heat-conducting pipes 48 to ensure uniform heat diffusion. The dense heat dissipation holes on the surface of the porous heat-conducting pipes 48 allow the hot air to be released slowly in the form of micro-flows. By adjusting the power of the heating tube 45 or the speed of the fan 43, the output of hot air can be controlled, thereby achieving temperature gradient regulation within the production chamber 2.

[0036] The excrement of the mother animal and her cubs needs to be cleaned after a long period of time. The operator starts the dual-axis motor 144 by connecting it to the power supply. The two output ends of the dual-axis motor 144 begin to rotate synchronously. One end of the motor, the main half-cone tooth 141, rotates accordingly. The main half-cone tooth 141 meshes with the first and second driven cone teeth 142 and 143. Since the main half-cone tooth 141 only partially has tooth grooves, it alternately meshes with the first and second driven cone teeth 142 and 143 during rotation, causing them to rotate intermittently. The first and second driven cone teeth 142 and 143 are fixedly fitted onto one end of the first rotating shaft 9. The intermittent rotation of the first and second driven cone teeth 142 and 143 drives the first rotating shaft 9 to rotate. The first rotating shaft 9 is installed through the inner wall of the placement box 6. The other end of the first rotating shaft 9 is fixedly connected to a gear 8, so the gear 8 also rotates. The gear 8 meshes with the first rack 10 and the second rack 11. As it rotates, the first rack 10 and the second rack 11 reciprocate linearly under the constraint of the limiting plate 7. The first rack 10 and the second rack 11 drive the scraper 12 and the brush 13 to scrape and scrub the excrement in the bottom plate 1 and the collection tank 5. The other output end of the dual-axis motor 144 passes through the side wall of the collection tank 5 and is fixedly connected to the third rotating shaft 161 of the sewage discharge mechanism 16. When the dual-axis motor 144 is running, it drives the third rotating shaft 161. 1 rotates, and the spiral blade 162 on the surface of the third rotating shaft 161 rotates accordingly. The spiral blade 162, through the spiral propulsion principle, transports the excrement in the collection box 5 along the spiral direction to the discharge port 17. Since the discharge port 17 is adapted to the spiral blade 162, when the excrement is pushed to the discharge port 17, it can be smoothly discharged from the collection box 5, completing the entire sewage discharge process, avoiding the accumulation of excrement in the collection box 5, and realizing an automated and continuous workflow for cleaning and discharging excrement in the production cage.
