[0037] Through the cooperation of the first securing mechanism 200 and the second securing mechanism 300, dogs and cats can be effectively secured in the cage 100, which can stabilize the stress of dogs and cats and protect them from being squeezed.

[0038] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the operation of the first restraining mechanism 200 and the second restraining mechanism 300, the solution of the present application also includes two first driving mechanisms, which are respectively connected to the two first gripping components 210 for driving the two first gripping components 210 to move relative to each other on the first guide member 230; a second driving mechanism is connected to the second gripping component 310 for driving the second gripping component 310 to move on the second guide member 330; the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism include a manual operating member 220 arranged outside the cage body 100, so that the manual operating member 220 used to operate the outside of the cage body 100 can drive the first gripping component 210 and the second gripping component 310 to operate, thereby restraining the dogs and cats.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism include a screw rod, the manual operating member 220 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw rod, and the other end of the screw rod is threadedly connected to the first gripping member 210 and / or the second gripping member 310 .

[0040] The manual operating member 220 may be a handle. By rotating the handle, the screw rod may be rotated, thereby causing the first gripping member 210 and the second gripping member 310 to move along the screw rod.

[0041] In some embodiments, the first gripping member 210 and the second gripping member 310 include a mounting block and a plurality of spaced-apart fingers fixed to the mounting block. For example, the fingers of the first gripping member 210 are fixed to the first mounting block 240, and the fingers of the second gripping member 310 are mounted on the second mounting block 340. The plurality of fingers are bent, and the bending directions of the plurality of fingers of the two gripping members of the first gripping member 210 face opposite directions, while the bending directions of the plurality of fingers of the second gripping member 310 face the upper side of the cage body 100.

[0042] In this embodiment, the curvature of the first gripping member 210 and the second gripping member 310 can be set to match the curvature of the abdomen of the dog or cat. After the dog or cat enters the cage 100 from the entrance 110, the two first gripping members 210 are located on both sides of the dog or cat, and can fix the dog or cat on both sides of the abdomen of the dog or cat to limit the dog or cat from moving left and right; the second gripping member 310 is located on the front side of the dog or cat, and can contact the front chest or chin of the dog or cat to limit the forward movement of the dog or cat. When the second gripping member 310 is moved upward, the front chest of the dog or cat can be lifted to lift the front feet of the dog or cat off the ground, thereby preventing the dog or cat from struggling and causing the cage 100 to shake.

[0043] In some embodiments, the size of the second gripping member 310 is smaller than the size of the two first gripping members 210 , so as to avoid obstructing the path of the dog or cat in the cage.

[0044] In some embodiments, the curvature and shape of the first gripping member 210 are different from those of the second gripping member 310 . The curvature and shape of the first gripping member 210 can be adaptively set according to the shape of the chin and / or front chest of dogs and cats.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first gripping member 210 can be rotated in the horizontal direction by rotating the manual operating member. When in contact with the cage, the first gripping member 210 can be rotated to the side close to the cage body, thereby avoiding the walking path of the dog or cat.

[0046] In some embodiments, the outer surface of the finger is provided with a contact piece made of soft material, which is also called a soft bag. The soft contact piece is in contact with the body surface of the dog or cat, which can enhance the comfort of the dog or cat when being restrained. Existing restraints are generally all-metal square tube structures made of stainless steel, which are relatively stiff to use. When assisting in restraining dogs and cats, it is easy to squeeze the dogs and cats, causing them pain. Its shape and corners are easy to bump into, and it is relatively bulky. The fingers of the restraint of the present application adopt a lighter stainless steel + soft bag design, which can stabilize the stress of dogs and cats while protecting them from being squeezed.

[0047] In some embodiments, an external fixing body is further included, and the cage body 100 is fixed relative to the external fixing body. The bottom of the cage body 100 is higher than the external fixing body. The inlet 110 and the outlet 120 are connected to the external fixing surface via an inclined slope. The slope can be formed by arranging a plurality of stainless steel metal round tubes. For example, the inlet 110 is connected to the external fixing body via an inlet slope 112, and the outlet 120 is connected to the external fixing body via an outlet slope 122.

[0048] In some embodiments, the entrance ramp 112 and the exit ramp 122 can be meshes, which are retractably connected to the cage body 100, for example, connected to the two sides of the bottom of the cage body 100 through slides. When not in use, the entrance ramp 112 and the exit ramp 122 can be slid to the bottom of the cage body so that the entrance ramp 112 and the exit ramp 122 overlap with the bottom wall of the cage body 100, thereby reducing space occupancy. When in use, the entrance ramp 112 and the exit ramp 122 can be pulled out from the bottom of the cage body.

[0049] In this embodiment, the areas of the inlet ramp 112 and the outlet ramp 122 are respectively greater than or equal to the areas of the inlet and the outlet, and the distance between the cage body 100 and the external fixing body is less than the height of the inlet 110 and the outlet 120 .

[0050] In some embodiments, cage doors may not be provided at the entrance 110 and the exit 120, and the entrance ramp 112 and the exit ramp 122 are rotatably connected to the cage body. When closing the cage body, the entrance ramp 112 and the exit ramp 122 are flipped upward and snapped onto the cage body, so that the entrance ramp 112 and the exit ramp 122 respectively block the entrance and the exit. When opening the cage body 100, the entrance ramp 112 and the exit ramp 122 are flipped downward and overlapped with the external fixing body. On the one hand, the entrance and the exit can be opened, and on the other hand, the dogs and cats can be guided to enter and exit the cage body 100.

[0051] The external fixing body may be the ground or a tabletop. A plurality of supporting members 400 are provided between the external fixing body and the bottom of the cage body 100 . The plurality of supporting members 400 stably support the cage body 100 .

[0052] In some embodiments, the support member may be a roller, so that the retainer can be moved conveniently, and the roller may be a spring-shock-absorbing wheel and be provided with a brake valve.

[0053] In some embodiments, the cage body 100 is rectangular, and the direction of movement of the dog or cat is along the length direction of the rectangle. When the cage doors of the entrance 110 and the exit 120 of the cage body 100 are in an open state, the cage body 100 forms a passage in the length direction, and the dog or cat enters from the entrance 110, and is then fixed by the first securing mechanism 200 and the second securing mechanism 300. At this time, medical treatment, examination and other nursing measures can be taken for the dog or cat. After the nursing measures are completed, the two first gripping parts 210 are separated from each other by the manual operating part 220 of the first securing mechanism 200, and the dog or cat is released in the left and right directions. Then the manual operating part 320 of the second securing mechanism 300 is operated to make the second gripping part 310 descend, and the dog or cat is released in the longitudinal direction. At this time, the dog or cat is released from the restriction and can move forward to get out of the cage. When multiple dogs or cats are secured in this way, the above operation process can be repeated.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first guide member 230 is fixed to the top wall of the cage 100, and the second guide member 330 is fixed to the side wall of the cage 100. This can avoid excessive occupation of the space in the cage and avoid hindering the movement of dogs and cats in the cage 100.

[0055] In this embodiment, the cage 100 can be lengthened, and multiple groups of the first restraining mechanisms 200 and the second restraining mechanisms 300 can be arranged in the cage 100 along the moving direction of the dogs and cats, so that multiple dogs and cats can be restrained continuously, which can improve efficiency.

[0056] In some embodiments, a driving device may also be included, which is electrically connected to the first securing mechanism 200 and the second securing mechanism 300. The driving device can drive the first securing mechanism 200 and the second securing mechanism 300 to operate to achieve automated operation. At the same time, the driving device can be controlled to be turned on or off by a switch button.

[0057] In some embodiments, the cage 100 is assembled from metal mesh sheets; or, the cage 100 is welded from metal wires or metal rods, so that the cage 100 has a higher strength. Specifically, the cage can be welded from stainless steel round pipes.

[0058] In some embodiments, the cage door is rotatably connected to one side of the entrance 110 and the exit 120, and the cage door is provided with a buckle that is locked with the cage body 100. The buckle can be controlled by a switch or a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve is connected to a driving device. The driving device can control the cage door to cooperate with the first restraining mechanism 200 and the second restraining mechanism 300. Before the dog or cat is restrained, the cage door of the entrance 110 is opened and the cage door of the exit 120 is closed. After the dog or cat is restrained and released, the cage door of the exit 120 is opened.

[0059] The embodiments of the present application have been described above, and the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and changes will be apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments.
