[0001] This invention relates to the field of pet supplies, and more particularly to a pet cage with ultraviolet disinfection function. Background Technology

[0002] In today's rapidly developing society, pet ownership has gradually become an indispensable part of many people's daily lives. Whether it's adorable cats, loyal dogs, or other small animals, they have all integrated into people's lives with their unique charm, becoming members of the family. Among these, the pet cage, as an important place for pets to live and rest, is particularly important in terms of its functionality. A well-designed and fully functional pet cage can not only provide pets with a safe and comfortable living environment, ensuring their quality of life, but also greatly enhance the user experience for owners, making the interaction between pets and owners more harmonious and convenient. Therefore, choosing a suitable pet cage is an important task that cannot be ignored by every pet owner.

[0003] Currently, most pet cages on the market are designed primarily to provide basic living space for pets, but they have many shortcomings in handling pet excrement. Traditional pet cages are mostly simple frame or wire mesh cages, lacking a dedicated collection or treatment mechanism for pet excrement (such as feces and urine). This results in excrement accumulating directly at the bottom of the cage after the pet defecates. If not cleaned promptly, this not only causes the internal environment of the pet cage to deteriorate rapidly, emitting unpleasant odors and breeding large amounts of bacteria, posing a serious threat to the pet's health, but also greatly disturbs the indoor environment, affecting the lives of the owner and other family members. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, the present invention provides a pet cage with ultraviolet disinfection function, which aims to improve the problem of existing pet carriers being inconvenient to clean up pet excrement.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a pet cage with ultraviolet disinfection function, comprising an outer shell for placing a pet; a movable door for controlling the opening and closing of the pet cage, rotatably connected to one side of the outer shell; a locking mechanism for locking the movable door after it is closed to the outer shell; a cleaning mechanism for keeping the inside of the pet cage clean, including an ultraviolet disinfection lamp and a perforated partition, wherein the ultraviolet disinfection lamp is used for disinfecting the inside of the pet cage, and the perforated partition is used for draining excrement from the inside of the pet cage; a collection mechanism installed at the bottom of the perforated partition for collecting the excrement; the collection mechanism includes a drawer and a handle, the handle is installed on one side of the drawer, the drawer is slidably connected to the inside of the outer shell, a sliding plate is fixedly connected inside the drawer, a connecting shaft is rotatably connected inside the sliding plate, a roller brush is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft, a gear is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting shaft, a rack is fixedly connected inside the outer shell, the rack meshes with the gear, a groove is provided inside the outer shell, and the connecting shaft extends into the inside of the outer shell through the groove.

[0006] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the outer shell for picking up the pet cage.

[0007] Furthermore, the movable door is equipped with a ventilation grille to allow air circulation inside the pet cage.

[0008] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a slot and a ball. The slot is located on the outer wall of the movable door, and the ball is slidably connected inside the outer shell, allowing it to engage with the slot.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4One embodiment of the present invention provides a pet cage with ultraviolet disinfection function, comprising: an outer shell 1 for placing a pet; a movable door 7 for controlling the opening and closing of the pet cage, rotatably connected to one side of the outer shell 1; a locking mechanism for locking the movable door 7 after it is closed to the outer shell 1; a cleaning mechanism for keeping the inside of the pet cage clean, including an ultraviolet disinfection lamp 21 and a perforated partition 8, wherein the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 21 is used for disinfecting the inside of the pet cage, and the perforated partition 8 is used for draining excrement from the inside of the pet cage; and a collection mechanism installed on the perforated partition. The bottom of the plate 8 is used for collecting excrement; the collection mechanism includes a drawer 2 and a handle 3. The handle 3 is installed on one side of the drawer 2. The drawer 2 is slidably connected to the inside of the outer shell 1. A slide plate 18 is fixedly connected inside the drawer 2. A connecting shaft 11 is rotatably connected inside the slide plate 18. A roller brush 9 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 11. A gear 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting shaft 11. A rack 19 is fixedly connected inside the outer shell 1. The rack 19 meshes with the gear 10. A groove 20 is opened inside the outer shell 1. The connecting shaft 11 extends into the inside of the outer shell 1 through the groove 20.

[0024] Specifically, during the use of this pet cage, the movable door 7 can first be manually rotated to open it, allowing the pet to smoothly enter the interior space of the outer shell 1. Then, the movable door 7 is rotated to the closed position. At this point, the top wall of the movable door 7 contacts the retaining ball 16 and applies a certain pushing force, allowing the retaining ball 16 to overcome the elastic force generated by the spring 12 and retract into the interior of the outer shell 1. When the movable door 7 is fully closed, the restoring force of the spring 12 will drive the sliding column 13 to reset. This process precisely controls the retaining ball 16 to engage with the pre-drilled slot 17 at the top of the movable door 7, ensuring that the movable door 7 can be quickly and securely fixed in the closed position. Furthermore, a ventilation grille 6 is specially designed on the movable door 7 to ensure smooth airflow inside the pet cage, providing a comfortable living environment for the pet.

[0025] When the movable door 7 needs to be reopened, the user can press one side of the pressing rod 5 to make the pressing rod 5 rotate. At this time, the other side of the pressing rod 5 will be lifted accordingly, driving the drive column 15 fixed thereon to push forward, and then acting on the inner wall of the limiting groove 14. This series of actions can effectively control the sliding column 13 to slide and drive the locking ball 16 to retract back into the outer shell 1, so that the movable door 7 can be rotated and opened. Inside the pet cage, a hollow partition 8 is specially designed. Through the hollow groove on the hollow partition 8, it can be ensured that the pet's excrement can fall accurately into the drawer 2 below.

[0026] After the pet is removed from the pet cage, the user can smoothly pull the drawer 2 out of the shell 1 by holding the handle 3 for cleaning. During the process of pulling out the drawer 2, the slide plate 18 will drive the connecting shaft 11 to move synchronously. The connecting shaft 11 will further drive the roller brush 9 to move along the surface of the hollow partition 8. At the same time, the gear 10 fixed at one end of the connecting shaft 11 will rotate along the rack 19. This design controls the rotation of the connecting shaft 11, which in turn allows the roller brush 9 to rotate, thereby effectively sweeping the excrement on the surface of the hollow partition 8 into the drawer 2. In addition, the shell 1 is also equipped with an ultraviolet disinfection lamp 21, which can thoroughly disinfect the inside of the pet cage when the pet is not in the cage, ensuring that the pet's living environment is always clean and hygienic.

[0027] Working principle: When using this pet cage, the movable door 7 can be rotated to open, allowing the pet to enter the outer shell 1. Then, rotating the movable door 7 to close it causes the top wall of the movable door 7 to push the locking ball 16, causing the locking ball 16 to retract into the outer shell 1 against the force of the spring 12. After the movable door 7 is closed, the force of the spring 12 drives the sliding column 13 to reset, thus controlling the locking ball 16 to engage with the slot 17 at the top of the movable door 7, allowing the movable door 7 to be quickly fixed. Simultaneously, the movable door 7 is equipped with a ventilation grille 6 to facilitate air circulation within the pet cage. When it is necessary to open the movable door 7, one side of the pressing rod 5 can be pressed to rotate it. The other side of the pressing rod 5 will then lift, causing the drive column 15 fixed on the other side of the pressing rod 5 to push against the inner wall of the limiting groove 14, thus controlling the sliding column 13 to slide and engage the locking ball 16. Ball 16 retracts into the outer shell 1, thereby rotating the movable door 7. The pet cage is equipped with a perforated partition 8, which allows pet excrement to fall into the drawer 2 through the perforated grooves of the partition 8. After the pet is removed from the pet cage, the drawer 2 can be pulled out of the outer shell 1 by the handle 3 for cleaning. As the drawer 2 is pulled out, the sliding plate 18 drives the connecting shaft 11 to move. The connecting shaft 11 then drives the roller brush 9 to move along the surface of the perforated partition 8. While the connecting shaft 11 is moving, the gear 10 fixed at one end of the connecting shaft 11 rotates along the rack 19, thereby controlling the rotation of the connecting shaft 11. The connecting shaft 11 then drives the roller brush 9 to rotate, allowing the roller brush 9 to sweep the excrement on the surface of the perforated partition 8 into the drawer 2. At the same time, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 21 inside the outer shell 1 can disinfect the inside of the pet cage.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
