[0021] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the top ends of the four groups of support blocks 2 are connected to the side plates 201 through the rotating shafts, and the top ends of the other two groups of support blocks 2 are connected to the support plates 202 through the rotating shafts. The four groups of side plates 201 are provided with L-shaped grooves 203 at the top ends near the support plates 202, and the two groups of support plates 202 are provided with connecting grooves 204 at the top ends near the side plates 201. The inner sides of the four groups of L-shaped grooves 203 are provided with Z-shaped frames 205 extending to the inner sides of the connecting grooves 204. Straight grooves 206 are provided at the ends of each two groups of side plates 201 close to each other, and a group of straight plates 207 are connected between each two groups of straight grooves 206. One end of the Z-shaped frame 205 is connected to the inside of the L-shaped groove 203 by snap-fitting, and the other end of the Z-shaped frame 205 is connected to the inside of the connecting groove 204 by snap-fitting, and the straight plate 207 is connected to the inside of the straight groove 206 by snap-fitting.
[0022] In specific implementation, when the storage cage needs to be folded for storage, the operator pulls out the Z-shaped frame 205 from the inside of the L-shaped groove 203 and the connecting groove 204, and rotates the two groups of support plates 202 to the top of the base 1 through the rotating shaft, and rotates the four groups of side plates 201 to the top of the support plate 202 through the rotating shaft, and folds the storage cage. By folding the storage cage, the space it occupies is reduced, making the storage cage easy to store, stack and transport, thereby effectively improving the utilization rate of space.
