[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] like Figure 2-4 As shown, an adjustable spring installation structure includes: a cage door 1, a spring 2, and a hanging member 3. The cage door 1 is hinged in a hinge groove provided on a column 4 of a breeding cage. The spring 2 connects the cage door 1 to the column 4 so that it can be opened. The hanging member 3 is connected to the column 4. The hanging member 3 is provided with a hanging area 301 corresponding to the same spring 2. The side of the hanging area 301 is a limiting edge 302. The hanging area 301 is used to hook the spring 2. The narrow edge 303 is between the hanging area 301 and the lower edge of the hanging member 3, and the wide edge 304 is between the hanging area 301 and the upper edge of the hanging member 3.

[0037] like Figure 5-7As shown, the hanging member 3 is a plate-like structure, and the hanging area 301 is a through hole of a circular, elliptical, polygonal or irregular structure opened on the surface of the hanging member 3; the spring 2 is a C-type spring 2, one end of the spring 2 is hooked in the hanging area 301, and the other end is hooked to the cage door 1, and the spring 2 applies elastic force to the cage door 1, so that the cage door 1 can remain in an open state under the action of the elastic force after opening; the hanging member 3 is inserted into the slot opened by the column 4, and can be directly inserted into the slot, or it can be inserted and then welded or bonded to the column.

[0038] By designing a hanging area 301 with a limiting edge 302, the spring 2 is prevented from sliding out of the hanging area 301, so that the spring 2 and the hanging member 3 can be stably connected. The wide side 304 and the narrow side 303 have different widths. When the narrow side 303 is used to hang the spring 2, the working length of the spring 2 is shorter, so the elastic force generated is smaller. When the elastic force of the spring 2 is weakened after long-term use to the point that the cage door 1 cannot be opened normally, affecting the normal use of the customer, the wide side 304 is used to hang the spring 2, so that the working length of the spring 2 is increased, that is, the elastic force of the spring 2 is increased, the normal opening of the cage door 1 is ensured, the elastic force adjustment effect is achieved, thereby extending the service life of the spring 2 and reducing the user's use cost.

[0039] Embodiment 2

[0040] like Figure 5-8 As shown, an adjustable spring installation structure includes: a cage door, a spring, and a hanging piece. The cage door is hinged to the column of the breeding cage. The spring connects the cage door to the column so that it can be opened. The hanging piece is connected to the column. The hanging piece is configured with multiple hanging areas 301 corresponding to the same spring. The side of the hanging area 301 is a limiting edge. The hanging area 301 is used to hook the spring. The hanging areas 301 are arranged in sequence at intervals, and the lower edge heights of different hanging areas 301 are different.

[0041] Specifically, Figure 5-8 As shown, the hanging member is a plate-shaped or bent columnar structure. When the hanging member is a plate-shaped structure, the hanging area 301 is a through hole with a circular, elliptical, polygonal or irregular structure opened on the surface of the hanging member. When the hanging member is a bent columnar structure, the connecting area is a circular, elliptical, polygonal or irregular structure formed by bending the hanging member. The spring is a C-shaped spring, one end of the spring is hooked in the hanging area 301, and the other end is hooked to the cage door. The spring applies elastic force to the cage door, so that the cage door can remain in an open state after opening.

[0042] In this embodiment, Figure 5-8As shown, taking the configuration of two hanging areas 301 corresponding to the same spring as an example, the lower edge of one hanging area 301 is a high elastic edge 305, and the lower edge of the other hanging area 301 is a low elastic edge 306. The lower edge at a higher position is the high elastic edge 305, and the lower edge at a lower position is the low elastic edge 306. When the spring is used for the first time, one end of the spring is hung on the low elastic edge 306, and the other end is hung on the cage door. At this time, the working length of the spring is short. When the spring force is weakened after long-term use to the point that the cage door cannot be opened normally, affecting the normal use of the customer, the position of the spring is moved as a whole, and the upper end of the spring is hung on the high elastic edge 305. The working length of the spring is increased, thereby increasing the elastic force of the spring on the cage door, thereby ensuring that the cage door can be opened normally, achieving the effect of elastic force adjustment, thereby extending the service life of the spring and reducing the user's use cost.

[0043] Embodiment 3

[0044] Based on the first or second embodiment, this embodiment further discloses the following structure: Figure 3 As shown, the hinge groove includes: a first vertical side 401, a second vertical side 402, and a connecting side 403. The first vertical side 401 is located below the hanging member 3. The upper end of the first vertical side 401 is used to hinge the hinge axis of the cage door 1. The second vertical side 402 is spaced apart from the first vertical side 401 and is located below the front side of the hanging member 3. The upper end of the second vertical side 402 is higher than the upper end of the first vertical side 401. The connecting side 403 connects the bottom ends of the first vertical side 401 and the second vertical side 402.

[0045] Specifically, when installing the cage door 1, first insert one end of the hinge shaft into the top of the second vertical side 402, and then hang the spring 2 on the cage door 1 and the hanging area 301. At this time, the hanging position of the cage door 1 is closer to the hanging area 301, and the spring 2 does not need to be deformed too much to install the spring 2 between the cage door 1 and the hanging member 3. Then move the hinge shaft so that the hinge shaft enters the top of the first vertical side 401 through the connecting edge 403, and the cage door 1 is positioned by the spring 2, thereby completing the installation of the spring 2.

[0046] The above are only embodiments of the utility model. The common sense such as the known specific structures and characteristics in the scheme is not described in detail here. The ordinary technicians in the relevant field are aware of all the common technical knowledge in the technical field to which the utility model belongs before the application date or priority date, can obtain all the existing technologies in the field, and have the ability to apply the conventional experimental means before that date. The ordinary technicians in the relevant field can improve and implement the scheme in combination with their own abilities under the enlightenment given by this application. Some typical known structures or known methods should not become obstacles for the ordinary technicians in the relevant field to implement this application. It should be pointed out that for the technicians in this field, without departing from the structure of the utility model, several deformations and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the utility model and the practicality of the patent.
