[0034] Specifically, the working process or principle of the adjustable structure for this type of breeding cage is as follows: During use, the collector 20 is moved to the bottom of the adjusting plate 4, and the collector 20 is moved to align the connecting sleeve 22 with the connecting frame 23. The collector 20 is then moved backward, causing the connecting sleeve 22 to enter the connecting sleeve 22, connecting the collector 20 and the adjusting plate 4. Next, the adjusting plate 4 is moved to the top of the railing 2, aligning the railing 2 and the adjusting rod 7 with the adjusting hole 5 and the adjusting opening 6. The adjusting plate 4 is then moved downward, allowing the adjusting rod 7 to enter the adjusting opening 6, thus connecting the adjusting plate 4 to the bottom plate 1. At this time, the railing 2 passes through the adjusting hole 5 through the adjusting plate 4, ensuring smooth movement of the adjusting plate 4. Subsequently, according to the actual external breeding space requirements, the adjusting plate 4 is moved up and down within the adjusting rod 7 to adjust its height. After the height adjustment of the adjusting plate 4 is completed, the positioning column 9 is moved outward through the moving seat 12 in conjunction with the moving opening 11 into the positioning groove 10, adjusting the height. After the holiday, the adjusting plate 4 and the adjusting rod 7 are positioned. At this time, the magnetic strip 13 and the magnetic suction strip 14 magnetically attract and position the positioning column 9 and the positioning cavity 8, ensuring the positioning stability of the positioning column 9 for the adjusting plate 4 and the adjusting rod 7. Then, the hand-held opening and closing frame 16 passes through the adjusting hole 5 and moves downward into the opening and closing groove 15 to close the railing 2. After the opening and closing frame 16 moves downward and closes, the hand-held insert 18 moves forward and passes through the insert hole 19 to pass through the opening and closing frame 16, aligning the opening and closing frame 16 with the railing 2. The opening and closing slots 15 are connected and positioned. At this time, the magnetic sheet fixed on the right side of the insert frame 18 and the right side of the inner wall of the slot 17 magnetically positions the insert frame 18 and the slot 17 to ensure the stability of the opening and closing frame 16 after it is closed. When animals are raised on the top of the adjustment plate 4, the animals' excrement and waste move downward through the opening at the top of the adjustment plate 4. At this time, the collection box 20 receives and collects the animals' excrement and waste. The collected excrement and waste are discharged through the waste discharge pipe 21 to the pre-set waste discharge point in the breeding area.
