[0052] In addition, the pet cage includes a cage frame 1, and there is a cage gap between two adjacent cage frames 1. The end of the cage frame 1 close to the adjacent pet cage is provided with an upper beam 11, a lower beam 12 and two side beams 13, and the upper beam 11, the side beam 13, the lower beam 12 and the side beam 13 are connected end to end in sequence.

Specifically, the upper slats 2 are arranged on two adjacent upper beams 11, and the lower slats 3 are arranged on two adjacent lower beams 12.

[0055] In some embodiments of the upper strip 2 and the outer side plate 5, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the lower surface of the upper slat 2 is provided with a first protrusion 21 extending along the length direction thereof, and the first protrusion 21 is embedded in the gap between the cages at the corresponding position. The inner side surface of the outer plate 5 is provided with a second protrusion 51 extending along the length direction thereof, and the second protrusion 51 is embedded in the corresponding gap between the cages. In this embodiment, the gap between the cages is maintained by providing the first protrusion 21 and the second protrusion 51, and the force balance of the adjacent cage frames 1 is maintained.

[0056] Furthermore, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a locking nut 52 is provided on the second protrusion 51. A locking screw 42 is provided on the inner plate 4. Specifically, the stud on the locking screw 42 passes through the inner plate 4 from the inner side of the inner plate 4 to the outside and points to the corresponding locking nut 52. The locking screw 42 is threadedly connected with the locking nut 52 through the stud. The second protrusion 51 is provided on the outer plate 5 to increase the gap between cages, facilitate the setting of the locking nut 52 on the inner side of the outer plate 5, and facilitate the setting of the locking screw 42 on the inner plate 4, provide a gap for the locking screw 42 to pass through, and improve the convenience of connecting the inner plate 4 and the outer plate 5.

[0057] In some embodiments of the upper slats 2, the end of the upper slats 2 is buckled with the upper end of the outer plate 5. The upper slats 2 are assembled by inserting the first protrusions 21 into the gap between the cages. In this embodiment, the upper slats 2 and the outer plate 5 are buckled to improve the assembly stability of the upper slats 2 and avoid or reduce the upper slats 2 from falling off.

[0058] Furthermore, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a buckle hole 53 is provided at the upper end of the outer plate 5, specifically, a buckle hole 53 is provided at the upper end of the second protrusion 51. A buckle portion 22 extending downward is provided at the end of the upper strip 2, and the buckle portion 22 is detachably buckled into the buckle hole 53, thereby realizing the buckle connection between the upper strip 2 and the outer plate 5.

[0059] Specifically, a barb is provided at the end of the buckling portion 22, and the barb is hooked into the buckling hole to achieve buckling of the upper strip 2 and the outer side plate 5.

[0060] The lower slats 3 are arranged at the lower part of the gaps between the adjacent cage frames 1 to cover the gaps between the cages at the lower part of the adjacent cage frames 1. Specifically, the lower slats 3 are arranged on two adjacent lower beams 12.

[0061] Furthermore, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig.11As shown, the lower slats 3 are provided with second folding plates 31 extending along the side edges, the second folding plates 31 are bent downward, and the inner side surfaces of the second folding plates 31 are aligned with the cage frames 1 at the corresponding positions. The second folding plates 31 are provided on both sides of the lower slats 3, and the two adjacent lower beams 12 can be clamped by the second folding plates 31, thereby increasing the connection firmness of the adjacent cage frames 1.

[0062] In some embodiments of the lower slat 3, as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown, both ends of the lower strip 3 are provided with a bent section 32 bent upward, and the bent section 32 has an upper end surface. The corresponding inner side plate 4 abuts against the upper end surface. During assembly, the inner side plate 4 can be used to apply pressure to both ends of the lower strip 3, so that the lower strip 3 can be firmly and stably installed without the assistance of other fasteners, reducing the use of fasteners and improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly.

[0063] In addition, if Fig. 9 As shown, after the bending, the second folded plate 31 also extends to the bending section 32 along with the bending. Thus, in the bending section 32, the inner side surface of the second folded plate 31 at the corresponding position abuts against the corresponding position of the adjacent cage frame 1, specifically, abuts against the two adjacent lower beams 12. Then, when installing the lower slat 3, the second folded plate 31 at this position can be used to clamp the two side beams 13 at the corresponding position, so that the two ends of the lower slat 3 are limited or assembled by the side beams 13, thereby improving the assembly stability of the lower slat 3.

[0064] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the side of the upper end surface close to the corresponding outer plate 5 is higher than the side close to the corresponding inner plate 4. The upper end surface can be a curved surface or a flat surface, and the upper end surface is higher on the outside and lower on the inside. When the inner plate 4 abuts against the upper end surface, it can more effectively limit the position of the bent section 32, improve the fixing effect of the bent section 32, and improve the assembly stability of the lower plate strip 3.

[0065] In addition, if Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig. 9 As shown, the cage assembly further includes an elastic member 6, which is disposed on the upper end surface of the bending section 32. The corresponding lower end of the inner panel 4 is provided with an abutting portion, which abuts against the elastic member 6. The elastic member 6 is disposed between the lower end of the inner panel 4 and the bending section 32, and the elastic member 6 can continuously apply pressure to the lower end of the inner panel 4 and the bending section 32, and provide pressure on the bending section 32 in a form different from the upper end surface, thereby improving the fixing effect on the bending section 32, and can supplement pressure after the inner panel 4 or the lower strip 3 is bent, thereby providing a more stable fixing effect.

[0066] In addition, in order to improve the strength of the lower strip 3 and the inner side plate 4, reinforcing ribs are provided on the lower surface of the lower strip 3 and the outer side surface of the inner side plate. In order to improve the strength of the first protrusion 21 on the upper strip 2 and the second protrusion 51 on the outer side plate 5, reinforcing ribs are also provided on the first protrusion 21 and the second protrusion 51.

[0067] The contact portion between the lower beam 12 and the second folding plate 31 may be the lower beam 12 itself or a profile structure for clamping a partition plate on the corresponding beam. The contact portion between the side beam 13 and the first folding plate 41 may be the side beam 13 itself or a profile structure for clamping a partition plate on the corresponding beam.

[0068] The above-mentioned implementation modes are only preferred implementation modes of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
