A spare box 8 located on the right side of the circular hole 7 is fixedly connected to the right side of the breeding box body 1. A lower pressure plate 9 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the breeding box body 1.

[0027] When it is necessary to clean the inside of the incubator body 1, the motor 2 is started, and the motor 2 drives the one-way threaded rod 3 to rotate, and the one-way threaded rod 3 drives the sliding member 4 to slide, and the sliding member 4 drives the push plate 5 to slide to the right side, so as to drive the mice to the right side. At the same time, the push plate 5 drives the brush 6 to slide to sweep down the feces and other debris inside the incubator body 1. After the mice are driven to the right side, the lower pressure plate 9 slides downward to drive the mice away, so that the mice enter the inside of the spare box 8, and then the lower pressure plate 9 moves downward to block the round hole 7 to prevent the mice from running out.

[0028] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A water tank 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of the incubator body 1, a connecting pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the inside of the water tank 13, a water pump 15 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting pipe 14, and a telescopic pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the water outlet of the water pump 15.

[0029] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4The end of the telescopic tube 16 away from the water pump 15 is fixedly connected to a water spray head 17 extending into the interior of the incubator body 1 , and the outer side of the telescopic tube 16 is fixedly connected to the sliding member 4 .

[0030] In this embodiment, the water pump 15 is then started, and the water pump 15 sucks the water inside the water tank 13 into the inside of the connecting pipe 14, and enters the telescopic tube 16 through the connecting pipe 14, and is sprinkled out at the end of the water spray head 17 through the telescopic tube 16. At the same time, the sliding member 4 drives the telescopic tube 16 to slide on the upper side of the incubator body 1, and the telescopic tube 16 is stretched or compressed. The water spray head 17 slides inside the incubator body 1 and sprays water. The push plate 5 drives the brush 6 to scrub the bottom of the incubator body 1 to brush off stains such as mouse feces.

[0031] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 A leak plate 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the incubator body 1, and a material receiving frame 11 is slidably connected to the outer side of the incubator body 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, the brush 6 cleans the mouse excrement and other debris on the surface of the drain plate 10, and the washed debris and water stains fall into the inside of the receiving frame 11. The receiving frame 11 is taken out to pour out the debris inside the receiving frame 11.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 An electric push rod 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the incubator body 1 , and an output end of the electric push rod 12 is fixedly connected to the lower pressing plate 9 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the electric push rod 12 is started, and the electric push rod 12 drives the lower pressing plate 9 to slide downward, driving the mouse into the spare box 8, and then the lower pressing plate 9 blocks the circular hole 7 to prevent the mouse from escaping from the spare box 8.

[0035] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A connecting tube 22 is fixedly connected to the interior of the incubator body 1, a fan 18 is fixedly connected to the interior of the connecting tube 22, a heating wire 19 located at the rear side of the fan 18 is fixedly connected to the interior of the connecting tube 22, an air outlet 20 is opened inside the incubator body 1, and a controller 21 is fixedly connected to the front side of the incubator body 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, after the interior of the incubator body 1 is cleaned, since the interior of the incubator body 1 is too humid, the fan 18 and the heating wire 19 are started, the fan 18 heats the outside air and inputs it into the interior of the incubator body 1, and brings the humid air inside the incubator body 1 out through the air outlet 20. After the interior of the incubator body 1 is dried, the lower pressure plate 9 moves upward to release the mice, and the controller 21 controls the cleaning and drying of the incubator body and the expulsion of the mice.

At the same time, the push plate 5 drives the brush 6 to slide to sweep the feces and other debris inside the incubator body 1 down the leakage plate 10 and fall into the inside of the receiving frame 11. After the mice are driven to the right, the lower pressing plate 9 slides downward to drive the mice, so that the mice enter the inside of the spare box 8, and then the lower pressing plate 9 moves downward to cover the round hole 7 to prevent the mice from running out;

[0039] Then: start the water pump 15, the water pump 15 sucks the water inside the water tank 13 into the inside of the connecting pipe 14, and enters the telescopic tube 16 through the connecting pipe 14, and is sprinkled out at the end of the water spray head 17 through the telescopic tube 16, the sliding member 4 drives the telescopic tube 16 to slide on the upper side of the incubator body 1, the telescopic tube 16 is stretched or compressed, the water spray head 17 slides inside the incubator body 1 and sprinkles water, the push plate 5 drives the brush 6 to scrub the bottom of the incubator body 1 to brush off stains such as mouse feces, after the scrubbing is completed, because the inside of the incubator body 1 is too humid, the fan 18 and the heating wire 19 are started, the fan 18 heats the outside air and inputs it into the inside of the incubator body 1, and the humid air inside the incubator body 1 is brought out through the air outlet 20, after drying the inside of the incubator body 1, the lower pressure plate 9 moves upward to release the mice.
