On one side of the top end of the support plate 501, there is a water pump 502. The water outlet of the water pump 502 is provided with a water outlet pipe 503. One end of the water outlet pipe 503 penetrates the box body 1 and is fixedly connected to one side of the annular pipe 3. The water pumping port of the water pump 502 is provided with a water suction pipe 504. One end of the water suction pipe 504 is used to extract the disinfectant. By cooperating the water pump 502 with the water suction pipe 504 and the water outlet pipe 503, the disinfectant is extracted, and in cooperation with the annular pipe 3 and the nozzles 4, the retaining net 2 can be cleaned;

[0026] The scraping component 8 includes a rotating rod 801. The rotating rod 801 is arranged inside the discharge tube 7. At the top end of the rotating rod 801, there is a cross plate 802. Scrapers 803 are provided on both sides of the cross plate 802. The scrapers 803 are attached to the inner wall of the box body 1. By rotating the rotating rod 801, the cross plate 802 and the two scrapers 803 are driven to rotate synchronously, which is convenient for scraping the feces and food residues on the inner wall at the bottom of the box body 1;

[0027] At the bottom end of the discharge tube 7, there is a motor two 804. The output shaft of the motor two 804 penetrates the discharge tube 7 and is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating rod 801. A mechanical seal is provided at the connection between the output shaft of the motor two 804 and the discharge tube 7, which is convenient for driving the rotating rod 801 to rotate and at the same time convenient for playing a sealing role;

[0028] The top of the box body 1 is provided with a number of evenly spaced air holes 19, which is convenient for ventilation. The bottom of the discharge tube 7 is provided with a protective net, which is convenient for protecting the tree shrew. The filtering plate 11 is made of activated carbon, and the activated carbon can filter and remove the peculiar smell emitted inside the box body 1. The surface of the filtering plate 11 is provided with a number of evenly spaced bolts 15, and the top end of the exhaust pipe 10 is provided with a number of screw holes threadedly connected to the bolts 15, which is convenient for regularly disassembling or replacing the filtering plate 11 for multiple uses;

[0029] The bottom of the front of the box body 1 is hinged with a box door 6 through two hinges. The surface of the box door 6 is snap-fitted with the surface of the box body 1 through a buckle. One side of the box door 6 is provided with a handle, which is convenient for opening the box door 6 to take and place the tree shrew;

[0030] The bottom end of the inner wall of the discharge tube 7 is provided with a guide plate. The bottom of one side of the discharge tube 7 is provided with a blanking pipe 9, and a receiving box 18 is provided below the blanking pipe 9, which is convenient for guiding the material. It cooperates with the water body to discharge the feces and residual food of the tree shrew through the blanking pipe 9 and collect them through the receiving box 18;

[0031] A round plate 17 is provided below the box body 1, and three evenly spaced support rods 16 are provided between the box body 1 and the round plate 17. The receiving box 18 is placed on one side of the top end of the round plate 17, which is convenient for supporting the box body 1 and facilitating the placement of the receiving box 18 through the round plate 17.

[0032] During use, first place the breeding box at a suitable position in the laboratory, open the box door 6, and place the tree shrew to be bred inside the box body 1 to breed the tree shrew. A lighting lamp can be added inside the box body 1 to facilitate lighting the tree shrew. Place a feeding box inside the box body 1 through the box door 6 to facilitate breeding the tree shrew. During the process of breeding the tree shrew, the feces and food residues produced by the tree shrew enter the bottom of the box body 1 through the retaining net 2, enter the inside of the receiving box 18 through the discharge tube 7 and the blanking pipe 9 for collection, and open the set box door 6 to take out the tree shrew. Combine the water suction pipe 504 and the water pump 502 to extract the disinfectant, and combine the water outlet pipe 503, the annular pipe 3 and a number of spray heads 4, so as to be able to clean the feces and food residues at the retaining net 2. The motor two 804 can be controlled to drive the rotating rod 801 to rotate, and cooperate with the cross plate 802 and the two scraping plates 803 to scrape the feces and food residues generated on the inner wall of the box body 1. At the same time, the cleaning effect can be improved under the action of the water flow. Finally, collect them uniformly through the receiving box 18, reducing the risk of bacteria breeding in the box and ensuring the overall sanitary condition of the tree shrew breeding environment. After the cleaning is completed, put the tree shrew back into the box body 1. This cleaning process takes a short time and will not affect the growth of the tree shrew;

[0033] When breeding tree shrews, the interior of the box body 1 is likely to emit unpleasant odors. The motor 1 can be controlled to drive the fan blade 13 to rotate, exhausting the air inside the box body 1. At the same time, through the provided filter plate 11, and the material of the filter plate 11 is activated carbon, which can effectively remove the unpleasant odors, ensuring that the experimental environment is not affected and the health and work comfort of the experimental personnel are not affected.

[0034] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
