The technical scheme in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is only a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0025] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model provides a mechanical lock hook for improving the safety of a cage, comprising a fence 1, a cage 2 is arranged inside the fence 1, a fence door 4 is connected to the fence 1 through a door frame 3, and a locking member 5 is arranged on one side of the door frame 3 of the fence 1.
[0026] The locking member 5 includes a guide groove plate 501 arranged inside the fence 1, an open groove 502 is opened on one side of the guide groove plate 501, an extrusion plate 503 is arranged inside the open groove 502, the extrusion plate 503 is connected to the rotating shaft 505 through a connecting rod 504, and a locking plate 506 is arranged on the side of the rotating shaft 505 away from the connecting rod 504; the width of the extrusion plate 503 is larger than that of the guide groove plate 501, so that the cage 2 moves down and presses the extrusion plate 503; the guide groove plate 501 is provided with a return spring 507 directly below the extrusion plate 503, so that the extrusion plate 503 moves elastically inside the open groove 502 through the return spring 507; the inner wall of the enclosure is provided with a limit plate 508 for the up and down movement of the connecting plate;
[0027] A hook plate 5061 is provided at one end of the locking plate 506, and a locking groove 5062 is formed between the hook plate 5061 and the locking plate 506, and the locking groove 5062 matches the thickness of the fence 4, so that the locking plate 506 is clamped to the upper part of the fence through the locking groove 5062; the fence 1 is provided with a bearing plate 5063 for the locking plate 506 to abut against the bearing plate 5063 above the door frame 3; the lower part of the locking plate 506 is provided with a pressure support plate 509 for abutting against the bearing plate 5063, and the pressure support plate 509 is used for the locking plate 506 to abut against the bearing plate 5063 to drive the locking plate 506 to rotate through the rotating shaft 505;
[0028] The locking member 5 is used to release / lock the gate 4 when the cage 2 moves down / up.
[0029] The working principle of a mechanical lock hook for improving the safety of a cage provided by the utility model is as follows: when in use, when the cage 2 moves to the inside of the fence 1, the extrusion plate 503 is pressed together, so that it is pressed down inside the guide groove plate 501 through the opening groove 502, squeezing the reset spring 507, generating compression deformation, and the connecting rod 504 drives the buckle lock plate 506, and one end of the buckle lock plate 506 squeezes the pressure support plate 509 located on the side of the door frame 3 through the bearing plate 5063, so that it deflects through the rotating shaft 505 and the connecting rod 504 until the cage 2 moves down to the lowest end, at which time, the buckle lock groove 5062 of the buckle lock plate 506 deflects out from above the fence gate 4, removing the obstruction to the fence gate 4, and then the fence gate 4 can be released;
[0030] When the cage 2 moves upward, the return spring 507 continues to extend, and the connecting rod 504 moves upward through the limit plate 508. At this time, the locking plate 506 is deflected downward due to the gravity of the front hook plate 5061 until the hook plate 5061 is attached to the outside of the gate 4. At this time, the locking plate 506 is engaged with the top of the gate 4 through the locking groove 5062 to lock the gate 4.
