[0029] In this embodiment, the connecting frame 6 slides on the outside of the first sliding rod 17 to prevent the connecting frame 6 from rotating along with the rotation of the first one-way threaded rod 10, so that the connecting frame 6 drives the cleaning brush 8 to slide stably.

[0030] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 An electric push rod 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 4 , and an output shaft of the electric push rod 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1 .

[0031] In this embodiment, the electric push rod 11 is started, the electric push rod 11 drives the bottom plate 1 to move upward, and the bottom plate 1 drives the observation cage body 2 to move upward, so that the observation of the mice can better adapt to the observer's line of sight and angle.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] First, the mice live inside the observation cage body 2, and the urine produced by the mice flows into the collection bottle 5 through the collection bucket 3, and part of the feces remains on the bottom plate 1. The first one-way threaded rod 10 drives the connecting frame 6 to slide, and the connecting frame 6 drives the cleaning brush 8 to slide;

[0040] Then: at the same time, the cleaning brush 8 rotates under the drive of the first motor 7, so that the mouse feces is brushed off the bottom plate 1 and falls into the inside of the collecting bottle 5. After a period of time, the second unidirectional threaded rod 15 drives the observation cage body 2 to move right, so that the observation cage body 2 slides to the right, and the left bottom plate 1 is exposed for easy cleaning.
