Support columns 30 are vertically arranged at the four corners of the rectangular fence 10. Each support column 30 is vertically provided with a slide groove 31 on the side wall facing the diagonal direction of the rectangular fence 10. The lower end of the slide groove 31 is close to the bottom of the rectangular fence 10, and the upper end of the slide groove 31 is flush with the top of the rectangular fence 10. The movable bottom plate 20 is a parallel plate body without retaining edges on all sides and is arranged parallel to the rectangular fence 10. The four corners of the movable bottom plate 20 are respectively provided with slide grooves 31 on the four support columns 30 that match the slide grooves 31 on the four support columns 30. The sliders 21 at the four corners of the movable base plate 20 are respectively inserted into the slide grooves 31 on the four support columns 30, and can slide freely up and down along the slide grooves 31. When the lower end of the movable base plate 20 is pushed by an external force from the bottom to the top, the movable base plate 20 can move toward the upper end of the rectangular fence 10 along the slide grooves 31 on the four support columns 30. When the movable base plate 20 moves to the upper end of the slide grooves 31, the upper end surface of the movable base plate 20 is flush with the upper end of the rectangular fence 10. In this way, the movable base plate 20 is not blocked by the rectangular fence 10 on all sides, which can facilitate the placement of bottled milk in the sterilization and transport cage and also facilitate the removal of bottled milk from the sterilization and transport cage.

[0023] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6In order to facilitate the use of the sterilization transfer cage, the present invention also provides a conveying mechanism 40 for conveying bottled milk, the conveying mechanism 40 includes a first conveyor belt 41, a second conveyor belt 41 and a carrier platform 43 for pushing the movable bottom plate 20 to move toward the upper end of the rectangular fence 10, the carrier platforms 43 are arranged in parallel, the first conveyor belt 41 and the second conveyor belt 41 are respectively arranged in parallel at both ends of the carrier platform 43, and the output end of the first conveyor belt 41 and the input end of the second conveyor belt 41 are opposite to each other, the first conveyor belt 41 and the second conveyor belt 41 are both belt conveyors, and the conveying directions are consistent, the first conveyor belt 41 is used to convey the bottled milk to be sterilized for the second time toward the carrier platform 43, and the second conveyor belt 41 is used to convey the bottled milk after the second sterilization, the carrier platform 43 is a rectangular platform, the size of which is smaller than the size of the inner cavity of the rectangular fence 10, and its height is slightly lower than the conveying surface of the first conveyor belt 41 and the second conveyor belt 41, and a receiving groove 44 for inserting the rectangular fence 10 is provided around the carrier platform 43.

[0024] Please see Figure 7 When the sterilization transfer cage is in use, after the empty sterilization transfer cage is manually moved to the upper end of the carrying platform 43, the rectangular fence 10 can be freely inserted into the receiving groove 44 around the carrying platform 43, and the movable bottom plate 20 is pressed against the top of the rectangular fence 10 by the carrying platform 43, so that it is flush with the conveying surface of the first conveyor belt 41 and the second conveyor belt 41, and the rectangular fence 10 is hidden in the receiving groove 44 around the carrying platform 43, so that there is no barrier between the loading surface of the movable bottom plate 20 and the conveying surface of the first conveyor belt 41, as well as the conveying surface of the second conveyor belt 41, so that the bottled milk conveyed on the first conveyor belt 41 can be smoothly pushed onto the movable bottom plate 20 by humans, and then the rectangular fence 10 is manually lifted upward, and the rectangular fence 10 is used to enclose the four sides of the movable bottom plate 20 to prevent the bottles loaded into the sterilization transfer cage from being loaded.
