Both the top and the bottom of the cage body 1 are rotatably connected with connecting lead screws 10 threaded with the moving seat 8 through bearings. Under the threaded cooperation of the connecting lead screw 10 and the moving seat 8, the moving seat 8 drives the connecting plate 7 and the push plate 4 to move, pushing the waste water and discharging it from the cleaning port 5;

[0025] One end of the connecting lead screw 10 penetrates through the other side of the cage body 1 and is fixedly connected with a driven bevel gear 11. Bearing seats 12 are fixedly connected to both the top and the bottom of the other side of the cage body 1. A rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the inside of the bearing seat 12 through a bearing. One end of the rotating shaft 13 is fixedly connected with a driving bevel gear 14 meshed with the driven bevel gear 11. Under the meshing cooperation of the driving bevel gear 14 and the driven bevel gear 11, the transmission direction is changed. A double-shaft motor 15 is fixedly provided in the middle of the other side of the cage body 1. The transmission shaft of the double-shaft motor 15 is fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 13. The double-shaft motor 15 provides power for the two rotating shafts 13, and can drive the two connecting lead screws 10 to rotate simultaneously, so as to clean the cage body 1 simultaneously;

[0026] The bottom of the cover plate 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the cage body 1 through bolts, and the cleaning port 5 can be blocked by the bolts. A first magnet 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the cover plate 6. Second magnets 17 magnetically attracted to the first magnet 16 are fixedly connected to both the middle and the bottom of one side of the cage body 1.
