[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the base 1 is provided with a discharge component 7 and a support component 8. The discharge component 7 includes a strip groove 700 connected to the bottom of the base 1, and square tubes 701 connected to both sides of the bottom of the strip groove 700. The support component 8 includes support legs 800 fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the base 1. A limiting mounting plate 801 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support legs 800. An arc-shaped elongated hole is provided on the limiting mounting plate 801. The discharge component 7 can clean up pollutants after cleaning, so as to facilitate discharge through the discharge component 7. At the same time, the support component 8 can support the cage during use, which facilitates the installation of the cage.

[0040] Working principle: During use, the cage is installed in the desired position via the limiting mounting plate 801 on the support leg 800. When cleaning is required, the control motor 400 is activated, driving the sliding plate 402 on the lead screw 401 to move. This causes the vertical rod 403 and the sliding rod 301 on the sliding plate 402 to move simultaneously. Therefore, during this movement, the vertical plate 302 and the scraper 303 on the guard plate 300 can move. The scraper 303 cleans the feces and contaminants on the base 1. When the scraper reaches halfway down the base 1, the control motor 400 stops working. Then, the control electric push rod 304 extends, causing the U-shaped rod 305 to drive the scraper 303 on the vertical plate 302 to move upward, thus leaving a gap between the scraper 303 and the base 1. The livestock and poultry can then be driven to the cleaned side. Then, the control electric push rod 304 shortens, so that the bottom of the scraper 303 fits against the upper surface of the base 1. Then, the scraping operation is performed again. The scraped garbage and manure enter the strip trough 700 and are discharged through the square pipe 701.

[0041] When the sealing door 500 needs to be opened, pull the insert rod 503 on the pull ring 504 to separate the bottom of the insert rod 503 from the baffle 501, and then it can be opened. When the sealing door 500 needs to be closed, insert the insert rod 503 into the baffle 501, and then the bottom of the magnetic plate 505 magnetically attracts the top of the plug plate 502, while the limiting ring 506 limits the insert rod 503.

[0042] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
