[0041] In the use process, the biological excrement and urine are excreted to the top surface of the carrier plate 91 of the movable carrier 9, and when the living body moves to the edge of the carrier plate 91, the compression spring 13 is compressed under the action of gravity, the carrier plate 91 is deflected through the rotating shaft 92, the carrier plate 91 is deflected downward, and the carrier plate 91 is maintained in an inclined state, the excrement and urine on the top surface of the carrier plate 91 slide down along the inclined carrier plate 91 and are discharged downward through the discharge port 10, the excrement and urine fall into the separation assembly 15 and slide down along the inner inclined surface of the guide frame 151, the urine penetrates into the second frame 154 below when passing through the second groove 152, and the excrement continuously slides down to the lowest position and falls into the first frame 153, so that the automatic separation of the excrement and urine is completed. With the continuous use of the metabolic cage, the electric push rod 12 is started at a regular time, and the movable frame 111 in the adjusting assembly 11 is pushed downward, so that the tooth 112 in the movable frame 111 drives the meshing gear 93 to rotate, so that the rotating shaft 92 drives the carrier plate 91 to be deflected at a regular time, and the carrier plate 91 is actively deflected. When the electric push rod 12 is started at a regular time, intermittent high-speed operation and reset are adopted, so that the carrier plate 91 collides and vibrates at the limiting plate 6 and the limiting rod 8 during deflection, and the separation of the excrement and urine is enhanced.

[0042] Firstly, the carrier plate 91 which can be deflected downward is additionally arranged in the cage 1, so that the biological excrement and urine directly fall on the top of the carrier plate 91 after excretion, and the elasticity of the spring 13 is utilized, on the one hand, the deflection of the carrier plate 91 is realized automatically when the living body moves in the metabolic cage, and the downward discharge of the excrement and urine is realized automatically, on the other hand, the deflection of the carrier plate 91 is actively realized by the starting of the electric push rod 12 at a regular time, and the automatic cleaning and separation of the urine and excrement from the cage are realized without additionally arranging a filter plate, so that the situation that the lower limbs of the living body are stuck under the filter hole or gap is avoided, and the vibration effect between the limiting plate 6 and the limiting rod 8 is realized by the movement of the adjusting assembly 11 driven by the electric push rod 12 and the reset of the spring 13, so that the separation effect of the excrement and urine on the top of the carrier plate 91 is further improved, the excrement and urine are separated without using a hollow bottom plate, the activity freedom and safety of the living body in the metabolic cage are improved, the effective separation avoids the sticking of the feet of the living body, and the use effect is good.

[0043] In addition, by reusing the downward deflectable carrier plate 91, the discharge port 10 is matched with the positioning openings on both sides, so that the actual feces and urine are separated from the cage 1 in time after excretion, and the separation of urine and feces is completed in the separation assembly 15.

4. The metabolic cage with feces and urine separation function according to claim 3, characterized in that: The storage frame (141) is fixedly installed on the outer side surface of the separation assembly (15).

5. The method of using a metabolic cage with fecal-urine separation function according to claim 4, wherein: The use method comprises the following steps: In the first step, during use, biological excrement and urine are excreted to the top surface of the carrier plate (91) of the movable carrier (9), and when the living body moves to the edge of the carrier plate (91), the compressed spring (13) is deformed and compressed under the action of gravity, the carrier plate (91) is deflected through the rotating shaft (92), the carrier plate (91) is deflected downward, and the carrier plate (91) is maintained in an inclined state, the excrement and urine on the top surface of the carrier plate (91) slide downward along the inclined carrier plate (91) and are discharged downward through the discharge port (10); In the second step, the excrement and urine fall into the separation assembly (15) and slide downward along the inner inclined surface of the guide frame (151), the urine penetrates into the second frame (154) below when passing through the second groove (152), and the excrement continuously slides to the lowest position and falls into the first frame (153), so that the automatic separation of the excrement and urine is completed; In the third step, with the continuous use of the metabolic cage, the electric push rod (12) is started at a regular time and pushes the movable frame (111) in the adjusting assembly (11) downward, so that the teeth (112) in the movable frame (111) drive the meshing gear (93) to rotate, the rotating shaft (92) drives the carrier plate (91) to be deflected at a regular time, the carrier plate (91) is actively deflected, and the electric push rod (12) is started at a regular time and adopts intermittent high-speed operation and reset, so that the carrier plate (91) collides and vibrates at the limiting plate (6) and the limiting rod (8) during the deflection process, and the enhanced separation of the excrement and urine is completed. The fourth step: with the intermittent pushing of the activity frame (111) under the intermittent pushing of the electric push rod (12), the piston plate (113) is pushed down along the storage frame (141) of the deodorizing assembly (14), and when it is pushed down, the fast sealing No. 1 pipe (143) and the deodorizing liquid in the storage frame (141) are extruded into No. 2 pipe (144), and sprayed into the metabolic cage through the upper end of No. 2 pipe (144), and with the upward reset of the piston plate (113), the deodorizing liquid stored in the storage cylinder (142) is automatically supplemented into the storage frame (141) through No. 1 pipe (143), and waits for the next spraying of deodorizing agent.
