Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of pet cages, and in particular relates to a mesh connection structure and a pet cage. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of the quality of life in society, the market for pets and related items has gradually grown in recent years, among which pet cages are widely used. The pet cages on the existing market generally include several iron meshes, which are fixed together by bolts or iron sheets or welding or riveting to form a pet cage; the pet cage with the above structure cannot or should not be easily disassembled, and the bolts or iron sheet connectors are prone to rust, which affects the service life and aesthetics of the cage. The pet cage occupies a large volume during transportation and is easily damaged. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a connector that is easy to disassemble and does not rust for fixing the iron mesh of the pet cage.

[0003] A Chinese patent (publication number CN203035668U) discloses a connector for quickly assembling a cage, comprising a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate pivotally connected together, wherein the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are positioned and joined together by a snap assembly arranged on the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, and at least two through holes cooperating with the cage connecting assembly are arranged at the joint. The utility model adopts a first connecting plate and a second connecting plate pivotally connected together, and arranges a through hole cooperating with the cage connecting assembly at the joint of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, and places the connecting assemblies of two iron nets constituting the cage in the two through holes respectively, and then closes the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, and fixes them together by the snap assembly, so that the two iron nets constituting the cage can be connected together.

[0004] However, in the above technical solution, only two connecting plates are used to connect the iron nets. Since the pet in the pet cage may collide with the pet cage, it is easy to cause the pet cage to fall apart. Therefore, a connecting structure that can be disassembled and assembled and connected tightly is needed. Utility Model Content

[0025] It should also be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention due to unnecessary details, only structures and / or processing steps closely related to the scheme of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related to the present invention are omitted.

[0026] In addition, it should be noted that the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus.

[0027] Embodiment 1:

[0028] like Figure 1-3 7. The utility model provides a mesh connection structure, which is arranged at the intersection of the meshes and is used to connect the adjacent meshes arranged at the intersection. It can be understood that the mesh in this patent includes an injection molded sheet, a magic sheet, a metal mesh, etc. composed of a metal frame and a plastic sheet, cloth, a metal mesh, etc. arranged in the metal frame.

[0029] Specifically, the mesh connection structure includes a clamp 100 and a fastener 200. The number of the clamps 100 is at least two. Of course, depending on the number of meshes that need to be connected, the number of the clamps 100 can also be three or four. A clamp 100 in a mesh connection structure is separately connected to a mesh at the intersection of the meshes. The clamp 100 is provided with a clamping slot 110 for connecting the end of the mesh. The fastener 200 is provided with a receiving space 210 for accommodating the clamp 100. When connecting the meshes, one end of the mesh is first embedded in the clamp 100, and then the adjacent clamps 100 are connected together by the fasteners 200, thereby achieving double locking and making the connection between adjacent meshes more secure.

[0030] In this embodiment, the clamp 100 and the fastener 200 are respectively provided with a locking groove 201 and a locking protrusion 101, and the locking protrusion 101 is embedded in the locking groove 201, thereby playing a locking role. It can be understood that the locking groove 201 and the locking protrusion 101 can be separately provided on the clamp 100 or the fastener 200, or can be alternately provided on the clamp 100 and the fastener 200; the connecting surface of the locking protrusion 101 and the locking groove 201 is inclined, thereby increasing the friction of the contact surface and improving the locking effect.

[0031] In this embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, one end of the adjacent clamps 100 are interconnected. In this example, the adjacent ends of each clamp 100 are integrally formed. It can be understood that the connection method can also be pivotal, buckled or snap-on. By connecting the adjacent clamps 100 to each other, the adjacent meshes can be positioned and reinforced.

[0032] In this embodiment, the fastener 200 includes a fastener plate 230 , which encloses and forms a receiving space 210 with an opening for accommodating the adjacent clamping member 100 .

[0033] In this embodiment, after the clamp 100 is received in the fastener 200, the top of the gusset plate 230 is provided with an anti-slip edge 231 that abuts against the exposed plane of the clamp 100, thereby increasing the locking effect and preventing the clamp 100 and the mesh from slipping out. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the gusset plate 230 extends upward with an anti-slip section that is higher than the exposed plane of the clamp 100, which also has the effect of preventing the clamp 100 and the mesh from slipping out.

[0034] In this embodiment, a support plate 240 is horizontally extended on one side of the buckle plate 230. When the mesh connection structure is set at the bottom of the assembled cage, the support area of ​​the cage can be increased to improve the overall stability of the cage; an auxiliary locking groove 241 is formed at the bottom of the support plate 240, thereby other components can be connected to the bottom of the fastener 200 to increase the connection function.

[0035] In this embodiment, the clamp 100 and the fastener 200 are provided with a through hole (not shown), and a locking member (not shown) is connected in the through hole. It can be understood that the locking member (not shown) can be a screw or an elastic material, which is inserted into the through hole (not shown) and bent to achieve the fixation of the clamp 100 and the fastener 200.

[0036] In this embodiment, the fastener 200 is in a straight line shape, suitable for two meshes connected horizontally; or L-shaped, suitable for two meshes connected vertically; or T-shaped, suitable for three meshes perpendicular to each other; or cross-shaped, suitable for four meshes connected in a cross shape.

[0037] Also disclosed is a pet cage, comprising meshes and a mesh connecting structure. The meshes are enclosed to form a cage body, and adjacent meshes are fixed by the mesh connecting structure.

[0038] Embodiment 2:

[0039] like Figure 3-7 The utility model provides a mesh connection structure, which is arranged at the intersection of the meshes and is used to connect the adjacent meshes arranged at the intersection. It can be understood that the mesh in this patent includes an injection molded sheet, magic sheet, metal mesh, etc. composed of a metal frame and a plastic sheet, cloth, metal mesh, etc. arranged in the metal frame.

[0040] Specifically, the mesh connection structure includes a clamp 100 and a fastener 200. The number of the clamps 100 is at least two. Of course, depending on the number of meshes that need to be connected, the number of the clamps 100 can also be three or four. A clamp 100 in a mesh connection structure is separately connected to a mesh at the intersection of the meshes. The clamp 100 is provided with a clamping groove 110 for connecting and positioning the end of the mesh. The fastener 200 is provided with a receiving space 210 for accommodating the clamp 100. When connecting the meshes, one end of the mesh is first embedded in the clamp 100, and then the adjacent clamps 100 are connected together by the fasteners 200, thereby achieving double locking and making the connection between adjacent meshes more secure.

[0041] In this embodiment, the opening of the card slot 110 of the adjacent card 100 faces the inner wall of the fastener 200, so that the connection of the mesh can be wrapped around, which has a locking effect; the opening direction of the card slot 110 of the card 100 in the fastener 200 is opposite, so when one card 100 in the fastener 200 is subjected to force, a reaction force will be generated due to the opposite opening direction of the card slot 110 of the other card 100, thereby increasing the stability of the mesh connection. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the direction of the opening can also be the same. The fastener 200 is provided with a first stop block 201-1 that abuts against the card 100 and a second stop block 201-2 that is arranged opposite to the card slot 110, and the first stop block 201-1 is provided with an anti-slip groove 201-3 with a diameter smaller than the mesh connection end. It can be understood that the first stop block 201-1 can prevent the card 100 from falling out in the left and right directions of the fastener 200, and the second stop block 201-2 further squeezes the mesh after the mesh is embedded in the card slot 110 to increase the fixing effect. The anti-slip groove 201-3 is used to embed the mesh. When the mesh is connected to the anti-slip groove 201-3, the mesh reaches a fastened state.

[0042] In this embodiment, one ends of adjacent clamps 100 are connected to each other. It can be understood that the connection method can be pivotal, buckled or clamped, thereby reinforcing adjacent meshes.

[0043] In this embodiment, the fastener 200 includes a fastener plate 230 , which encloses and forms a receiving space 210 with an opening for accommodating the adjacent clamping member 100 .

[0044] In this embodiment, after the clamp 100 is received in the fastener 200, the top of the gusset plate 230 is provided with an anti-slip edge 231 that abuts against the exposed plane of the clamp 100, thereby increasing the locking effect and preventing the clamp 100 and the mesh from slipping out. It is understandable that in other embodiments, the gusset plate 230 extends upward with an anti-slip section that is higher than the exposed plane of the clamp 100, which also has the effect of preventing the clamp 100 and the mesh from slipping out.

[0045] In this embodiment, a support plate 240 is horizontally extended on one side of the buckle plate 230. When the mesh connection structure is set at the bottom of the assembled cage, the support area of ​​the cage can be increased to improve the overall stability of the cage; an auxiliary locking groove 241 is formed at the bottom of the support plate 240, thereby other components can be connected to the bottom or top of the fastener 200, such as connecting the top plate or bottom plate and other structures, to increase the connection function.

[0046] In this embodiment, the clamp 100 and the fastener 200 are provided with a through hole (not shown), and a locking member (not shown) is connected in the through hole. It can be understood that the locking member (not shown) can be a screw or an elastic material, which is inserted into the through hole (not shown) and bent to achieve the fixation of the clamp 100 and the fastener 200.

[0047] In this embodiment, the fastener 200 is in a straight line shape, suitable for two meshes connected horizontally; or L-shaped, suitable for two meshes connected vertically; or T-shaped, suitable for three meshes perpendicular to each other; or cross-shaped, suitable for four meshes connected in a cross shape.

[0048] Also disclosed is a pet cage, comprising meshes and a mesh connecting structure. The meshes are enclosed to form a cage body, and adjacent meshes are fixed by the mesh connecting structure.

[0049] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the utility model can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
