[0002] Tree shrews are small mammals that require a suitable environment when kept in captivity. Cages are typically used to prevent them from escaping.

[0003] In existing technologies, when raising tree shrews, the tree shrews excrete waste inside the cage, which is not conducive to cleaning by staff and is quite cumbersome.

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, a prior art Chinese patent (publication number CN117530192A) discloses a rabbit breeding cage that can effectively reduce humidity. The cage frame has several cage doors rotatably connected to its top surface, and handles are fixedly connected to the top surface of each cage door. Four electric telescopic rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the top plate, and a scraper is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of every two electric telescopic rods, allowing the scraper to sweep away feces or residual feed from the manure tray. Air outlets and inlets are respectively opened on both sides of the manure tray, allowing airflow between them to dry the manure tray. A rack is internally meshed with a spur gear, with push rods fixedly connected to both ends of the rack. Electromagnets are fixedly connected to the ends of the two push rods, and the electromagnets contact the outer walls of the air outlet and inlet plates respectively, enabling localized and effective dehumidification of the manure tray.

[0005] While existing technologies can overcome the shortcomings mentioned above, other problems still exist in their operation, such as the cumbersome process of opening and closing the cage, which is not convenient for staff to use, and the low structural strength of conventional cage doors when closed, which makes it easy for tree shrews to open the cage. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Example 1:

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The technical solution shown discloses the following to solve the problem of inconvenient opening and closing of the cage: a shell 1 and a cage frame 2 arranged around the shell 1, a cover plate 3 is rotatably installed on the upper end of the shell 1, a fixing block 5 is fixedly installed on the upper right side of the shell 1, a quick-release mechanism is provided inside the fixing block 5, and the quick-release mechanism is provided with a pull rod 7, which passes through the fixing block 5. The quick-release mechanism includes a closing block 4 fixedly installed on the upper right side of the cover plate 3, and a slot 6 is provided at the front and rear ends of the right side of the closing block 4. The slot 6 is inclined. A locking block 8 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the pull rod 7. The shape of the locking block 8 is consistent with the slot 6, and the locking block 8 is corresponding to the slot 6. A return spring 9 is sleeved on the middle end of the pull rod 7, and the front and rear ends of the return spring 9 are arranged between the fixing block 5 and the locking block 8.

[0030] In this embodiment, a cover plate 3 is provided that can be easily removed and closed. When in use, the tree shrews are placed inside the housing 1. The tree shrews are restricted by the cage frame 2 inside the housing 1. When closing the cover plate 3, the cover plate 3 is rotated so that the closing block 4 is pressed down inside the fixing block 5. At this time, as the closing block 4 contacts the locking block 8 and is squeezed, the locking block 8 moves forward and backward under its inclined setting to squeeze the return spring 9 until the locking block 8 is aligned with the locking groove 6. Then, under the action of the return spring 9, the locking block 8 moves inward and engages inside the locking groove 6. This can realize the closure and installation of the cover plate 3, which is convenient for the user. When it is necessary to open the cover plate 3, the pull rods 7 at both ends are pulled so that the pull rods 7 pull the locking block 8 to squeeze the return spring 9 until the locking block 8 disengages from the locking groove 6, and the cover plate 3 can be opened. This can achieve the effect of easy opening and closing of the breeding cage. Moreover, the closure structure has high strength and is not easily damaged or lost by the tree shrews. Example 2:

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The technical solution shown, in order to solve the problem of inconvenient tree shrew excrement disposal, discloses the following: A collection box 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 1, and a cleaning and dehumidification mechanism is provided inside the collection box 10. The cleaning and dehumidification mechanism is equipped with a hot air blower 16, and the upper end of the hot air blower 16 is fixedly installed at the lower right side of the housing 1. The cleaning and dehumidification mechanism includes a drain hole 19 opened at the bottom of the housing 1, and the drain hole 19 corresponds to the inside of the collection box 10. A servo motor 11 is fixedly installed at the rear right side of the collection box 10, and a threaded rod 12 is fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor 11. A movable block 13 is threaded on the surface of the collection box 10 and passes through the front and rear ends of the collection box 10. A movable block 14 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the two movable blocks 13. A limit rod 15 is installed through the interior of the front movable block 13 and the left and right sides of the limit rod 15 are fixedly installed at the front end of the collection box 10. A pressure spring 20 is fixedly installed inside the movable block 14 and a cleaning brush 21 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the pressure spring 20. The cleaning brush 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the movable block 14 and the bottom of the cleaning brush 21 is attached to the interior of the collection box 10.

[0032] In this embodiment, when raising tree shrews, after the tree shrews excrete, their feces fall into the collection box 10 through the drain hole 19 at the bottom of the shell 1. After the feces are collected in the collection box 10, the servo motor 11 is started. The start of the servo motor 11 can drive the threaded rod 12 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 12 drives the moving block 13 connected to its surface threadedly. As the moving block 13 at the front end is limited by the limit rod 15, the movable block 14 on its inner side can move left and right to adjust its position with the rotation of the threaded rod 12, pushing out the feces that have fallen into the collection box 10. At the same time, with the setting of the pressure spring 20 and the cleaning brush 21, the cleaning brush 21 is pressed against the inner wall of the collection box 10 under the pressure of the pressure spring 20, thereby improving the cleaning effect and making the feces completely removed, which is convenient for the staff to clean the feces and saves labor. Example 3:

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The technical solution shown is based on Embodiment 2. In order to solve the problem of inconvenient humidity control when raising tree shrews, it discloses that: a telescopic corrugated pipe 17 is fixedly installed on the left side of the hot air blower 16, and an air outlet 18 is fixedly installed on the left side of the telescopic corrugated pipe 17. The lower end of the air outlet 18 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the movable block 14, and the output end of the air outlet 18 is aligned with the leakage hole 19 at the bottom of the housing 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, when dehumidification of the inside of the tree shrew breeding cage is required, the hot air blower 16 on the right side of the shell 1 is activated. The hot air blower 16 can deliver hot air to the air outlet 18 through the telescopic corrugated pipe 17. The air outlet 18 dehumidifies the inside of the shell 1 through the leakage hole 19, which can avoid the humid environment being detrimental to the breeding of tree shrews. At the same time, the air outlet 18 moves with the movement of the movable block 14, thereby achieving a comprehensive dehumidification effect and improving the dehumidification efficiency.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
