Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Embodiment 1 See also Figure 1-5As shown, a chicken cage with a feces cleaning function comprises a bracket 1, a chicken cage 2 and a cage door, the cage door is rotatably connected to the surface of the chicken cage 2 by a hinge, the bracket 1 is fixedly installed under the chicken cage 2, and is used to raise the chicken cage 2, and the chicken cage 2 is provided with air holes around it; Motor 3, motor 3 is fixedly mounted on the surface of chicken cage 2, and the output shaft of motor 3 passes through chicken cage 2 for rotation connection; A fixed block 8 is fixedly connected in the chicken cage 2, and an inner cavity is opened in the fixed block 8. A screw rod is rotatably connected in the inner cavity, and the screw rod is driven by a motor 3; The surface of the screw rod is connected with a collar by a thread, the surface of the collar is fixedly connected with a slide plate 12, the surface of the fixed block 8 is provided with a slide rail groove 13, and the slide plate 12 passes through the slide rail groove 13 for sliding connection; The surface of the slide plate 12 is provided with a slider 16, and the surface of the slider 16 is provided with a brush 29, and the bristles on the surface of the brush 29 are stuck in the air holes on the bottom surface of the chicken cage 2; The motor 3 is a servo motor 3 , and a feeding port 11 is provided on the bottom surface of the chicken cage 2 .

[0022] There are two motors 3, feed ports 11 and fixed blocks 8, and a pair of motors 3, feed ports 11 and fixed blocks 8 are symmetrically distributed with respect to the central axis of the chicken cage 2. A collecting box 5 is movably placed on the surface of the bracket 1, and the collecting box 5 is located below the chicken cage 2 and is used to collect chicken excrement; During operation, the chicken cage 2 is suspended by the bracket 1, so that air can enter the chicken cage 2 through the vents on the surface of the chicken cage 2, thereby realizing air circulation, and at the same time, the collecting box 5 can be placed under the chicken cage 2, so that the feces generated by the chicken activities can be collected. When the chicken cage 2 needs to be cleaned, the motor 3 is started, and the output shaft of the motor 3 is rotated forward and reversely, thereby driving the threaded rod, so that the ring on the surface of the threaded rod moves back and forth, and at the same time, the ring drives the slide plate 12 to move back and forth, and the slide plate 12 drives the slider 16, so that the brush 29 at the bottom of the slider 16 cleans the bottom surface of the chicken cage 2 to avoid the chicken feces being retained on the surface and inconvenient for the staff to clean, and solves the problem that not only a large odor will be generated over time, but also the surrounding air environment will be affected. Through the design of two motors 3, the two ends of the slider 12 can be moved at the same time to avoid deformation. If feces are accumulated to the edge position, they can be directly discharged through the discharge port 11.

[0023] A cleaning needle 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the feeding port 11, and a plurality of cleaning needles 9 are provided. A groove is provided on the surface of the slider 16, and a sliding shaft 15 is fixedly connected in the groove. The sliding shaft 15 is slidably connected on the surface of the slide plate 12 through a spring, so that the brush 29 is always attached to the bottom surface of the chicken cage 2. A baffle 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chicken cage 2, and the baffle 6 is triangular. The tops of the fixed block 8 and the slider 16 are both arc-shaped; During operation, after the brush 29 moves to above the discharge port 11, the cleaning needle 9 will be inserted into the gap of the brush 29, and the slider 16 will also fit with the baffle 6. At this time, the slider 16 continues to move, and under the restriction of the baffle 6, the slider 16 will move upward, and the residue stuck in the brush 29 will be cleaned by the cleaning needle 9, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the brush 29. When the motor 3 reverses, the spring drives the brush 29 to fit again on the bottom surface of the chicken cage 2.

[0024] A cavity 19 is provided in the slider 16, and a movable plate 17 is slidably connected in the cavity 19 through a spring. A plurality of top shafts 18 are fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate 17. The movable plate 17 bounces up and down through a driving device to cause an impact on the slider 16. The driving device includes a magnetic block 7, which is fixedly mounted on the surface of the fixed block 8. There are a plurality of magnetic blocks 7, which are equidistantly distributed. Through grooves 21 are provided on both sides of the cavity 19. Both ends of the movable plate 17 penetrate the through grooves 21 for sliding connection. Partial ends of the movable plate 17 that penetrate the through grooves 21 are also fixedly connected to the magnetic blocks 7, and are attracted out of phase with the magnetic blocks 7 on the surface of the fixed block 8. A protective plate 22 is fixedly connected to the surface of the slide plate 12, and a storage groove is provided on the side wall of the through groove 21 relative to the position of the protective plate 22. During operation, the sliding of the slider 16 will drive the movable plate 17 to slide. When the movable plate 17 moves to the position of the magnetic block 7, the two magnetic blocks 7 will attract each other, causing the top shaft 18 to hit the side wall of the cavity 19, causing it to vibrate. The vibration generated is transmitted to the brush 29, which can clean the residue remaining on the surface of the brush 29 and improve the cleaning effect of the air vents. The cavity 19 can be shielded by the protective plate 22 to prevent foreign matter from entering the cavity 19, causing the sliding plate to get stuck and unable to slide.

[0025] Embodiment 2 See also Figure 6 As shown, in contrast to Example 1, as another embodiment of the present invention, a brush 29 is mounted on the surface of a slider 16 through a detachable mechanism, the detachable mechanism includes a mounting groove 28, the brush 29 is movably mounted in the mounting groove 28, the surface of the slider 16 is slidably connected with a block 23 through a spring, the block 23 is "L"-shaped, the end of the block 23 passes through the slider 16 for sliding connection, a notch is provided on the surface of the brush 29 relative to the position of the slider 16, a limiting rod 26 is fixedly connected to the surface of the slider 16, an arc angle is provided on the surface of the block 23, a lever 25 is rotatably connected to the surface of the slider 16 through a hinge, the lever 25 contacts the block 23, two blocks 23 are provided, which are respectively located on both sides of the brush 29, a spring piece 27 is fixedly connected in the mounting groove 28, and the other end of the spring piece 27 is a free end; During operation, the brush 29 will be worn, which will lead to a decrease in the cleaning effect. At this time, the lever 25 is pushed in the direction of approaching each other, so that the lever 25 moves in the direction of approaching each other. At this time, the other end of the lever 25 will drive the block 23 to disengage from the slot, releasing the positioning of the brush 29. At this time, the brush 29 can be disassembled, cleaned or replaced. At the moment when the block 23 is separated from the brush 29, the spring piece 27 will reset and the brush 29 will be ejected, which is convenient for disassembly. Through the design of the limit rod 26, the stability of the block 23 when sliding can be improved, thereby avoiding the offset of the block 23. The brush 29 can be directly installed through the arc angle on the surface of the block 23, thereby improving convenience.
