Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pet supplies, and specifically relates to a back panel locking mechanism of a foldable pet drying box. Background Art

[0002] A pet drying box is a device for drying the hair of a pet after bathing and grooming. It usually includes a box body and a ventilation system arranged inside the box body. The ventilation system combines internal circulation and external circulation to make the air flow circulate inside the box body, so as to achieve the purpose of drying the pet's fur.

[0003] The volume of a pet drying box is usually relatively large. For the convenience of transportation and storage, the box body is usually disassembled into multiple parts such as a base, a front panel, a back panel, a left side panel, a right side panel, a top panel, etc. Users need to assemble them by themselves when using. Since there are many parts of the pet drying box, it is rather troublesome for users to assemble. To facilitate users' assembly, the back panel and the base are usually hinged. When assembling, the back panel only needs to be rotated to 90 degrees with the base, and then other parts are assembled one by one. However, during the actual assembly process, users need to hold the back panel by hand to keep it perpendicular to the base all the time, and the assembly of other parts requires the assistance of another person, which is not only troublesome but also time-consuming and laborious. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art and provide a back panel locking mechanism of a foldable pet drying box that can easily lock the rotation angle of the back panel.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is to provide a back panel locking mechanism of a foldable pet drying box with the following structure:

[0006] It includes a base and a back panel rotatably connected to the rear end of the base; an arc-shaped guide groove is provided on a side wall of the base adjacent to the back panel, and the guide groove is concentric with the rotating shaft of the back panel; a guide post is provided on an end face of the back panel facing the guide groove, and the guide post is slidably connected in the guide groove; a locking assembly is further provided on the base. When the back panel rotates to be perpendicular to the base, the locking assembly is used to lock the guide post, and further lock the included angle between the back panel and the base.

[0007] After adopting the above structure, compared with the prior art, the back panel locking mechanism of the foldable pet drying box in the utility model has the following advantages:

[0008] When the user assembles the pet drying box, they only need to first rotate the back panel until it is perpendicular to the base. During this process, the guide posts will slide synchronously in the guide grooves. Finally, the position of the guide posts is locked through the locking component, and the angle between the back panel and the base can be locked to remain 90 degrees unchanged. In this way, the user does not need to support the back panel at all times, and the assembly is simpler, more convenient, time-saving and labor-saving.

[0009] Preferably, the locking component includes a locking member and a driving member. The middle of the locking member is rotatably connected to the base. The driving member is arranged on the base and is connected to one end of the locking member for driving the locking member to rotate. A card slot is provided at one end of the locking member away from the driving member, and the opening of the card slot faces one side of the guide post. When the guide post slides to the upper end of the guide groove, the angle between the back panel and the base is 90 degrees. At this time, the driving member can drive the locking member to rotate and make the card slot catch on the guide post to lock the position of the guide post.

[0010] When rotating the back panel until it is perpendicular to the base, the guide post is located at the upper end of the guide groove. At this time, by driving the locking member to rotate through the driving member, the card slot catches on the guide post, and the guide post can be pressed against the upper end of the guide groove, thereby locking the position of the guide post.

[0011] Preferably, an arc-shaped sliding groove is provided on the base, and the driving member is slidably connected in the arc-shaped sliding groove. A radially extending connecting shaft is provided on the driving member, and the free end of the connecting shaft is hinged to the locking member.

[0012] By pushing the driving member to slide in the arc-shaped sliding groove, the locking member is driven to rotate, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0013] Preferably, a torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft of the locking member. One end of the torsion spring is connected to the base, and the other end is connected to the locking member for forcing the card slot to catch on the guide post.

[0014] When the card slot catches on the guide post, the elastic force of the torsion spring can prevent the card slot and the guide post from automatically separating. When it is necessary to unlock the guide post, only by pushing the driving member and overcoming the elastic force of the torsion spring can the card slot and the guide post be separated.

[0015] Preferably, the free end of the guide post passes through the guide groove and is connected with a convex ring. The outer diameter of the convex ring is larger than the width of the guide groove to prevent the guide post from slipping out of the guide groove.

[0016] Preferably, reinforcing ribs are provided on the locking member. The reinforcing ribs can ensure that the locking member has sufficient strength and increase the service life of the locking member. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the present utility model discloses a back panel locking mechanism for a foldable pet drying box: including a base 1 and a back panel 2 rotatably connected to the rear end of the base 1; an arc-shaped guide groove 11 is provided on a side wall of the base 1 adjacent to the back panel 2, and the guide groove 11 is concentric with the rotation axis of the back panel 2; a guide post 21 is provided on an end face of the back panel 2 facing the guide groove 11, and the guide post 21 is slidably connected in the guide groove 11; a locking assembly 3 is further provided on the base 1, and when the back panel 2 rotates to be perpendicular to the base 1, the locking assembly 3 is used to lock the guide post 21, thereby locking the included angle between the back panel 2 and the base 1.

[0027] When the user assembles the pet drying box, they only need to first rotate the back panel 2 until it is perpendicular to the base 1. During this process, the guide post 21 will slide synchronously within the guide groove 11. Finally, the position of the guide post 21 is locked through the locking component 3, thereby locking the angle between the back panel 2 and the base 1 to keep it at 90 degrees. This eliminates the need for the user to constantly hold the back panel 2, making the assembly simpler, more convenient, time-saving, and labor-saving.

[0028] The locking component 3 includes a locking member 31 and a driving member 32. The middle part of the locking member 31 is rotatably connected to the base 1. The driving member 32 is arranged on the base 1 and is connected to one end of the locking member 31 for driving the locking member 31 to rotate. One end of the locking member 31 away from the driving member 32 is provided with a card slot 311, and the opening of the card slot 311 faces the side of the guide post 21. When the guide post 21 slides to the upper end of the guide groove 11, the angle between the back panel 2 and the base 1 is 90 degrees. At this time, the driving member 32 can drive the locking member 31 to rotate, and the card slot 311 is stuck on the guide post 21 to lock the position of the guide post 21.

[0029] When rotating the back panel 2 to be perpendicular to the base 1, the guide post 21 is located at the upper end of the guide groove 11. At this time, by driving the locking member 31 to rotate through the driving member 32, the card slot 311 can be stuck on the guide post 21 to hold the guide post 21 against the upper end of the guide groove 11, thereby locking the position of the guide post 21.

[0030] An arc-shaped sliding groove 12 is provided on the base 1. The driving member 32 is slidably connected within the arc-shaped sliding groove 12. A radially extending connecting shaft 321 is provided on the driving member 32, and the free end of the connecting shaft 321 is hinged to the locking member 31. By pushing the driving member 32 to slide within the arc-shaped sliding groove 12, the locking member 31 is driven to rotate, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0031] A torsion spring 33 is sleeved on the rotating shaft of the locking member 31. One end of the torsion spring 33 is connected to the base 1, and the other end is connected to the locking member 31 for forcing the card slot 311 to be stuck on the guide post 21.

[0032] When the card slot 311 is stuck on the guide post 21, the elastic force of the torsion spring 33 can prevent the card slot 311 from automatically disengaging from the guide post 21. When it is necessary to unlock the guide post 21, only by pushing the driving member 32 and overcoming the elastic force of the torsion spring 33 can the card slot 311 be disengaged from the guide post 21.

[0033] The free end of the guide post 21 passes through the guide groove 11 and is connected with a convex ring 22. The outer diameter of the convex ring 22 is larger than the width of the guide groove 11 to prevent the guide post 21 from disengaging from the guide groove 11.

[0034] Reinforcing ribs 312 are provided on the locking member 31, which can ensure that the locking member 31 has sufficient strength and increase the service life of the locking member 31.

[0035] As described above, it is only the specific implementation manner of the present utility model. However, the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
