Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pet appliances, in particular to the field of pet cages. Background Art

[0002] Pet cages typically feature a net for pets to sit and move around, with a tray underneath to collect pet waste and other debris. Existing pet cages typically have nets fixed to the cage body and cannot be removed for cleaning. Some cages also feature removable nets. However, existing cages with removable nets require the net to be removed from the side of the cage top, which is inconvenient. Other cages require the tray to be removed from the front cage grille, requiring a separate, unlockable locking mechanism to prevent the net from sliding out due to pet movement or cage tilting. This results in a complex and costly structure. Furthermore, existing cages typically feature raised structures on the vertical grille to support the net. The net's support points are located on the outside, and pets often move and lie in the middle of the net. This can lead to deformation of the net after prolonged use, hindering its usability.

The first support rods 41 are no longer limited to the edge positions of the support net 51 and can be arranged at any position, such as the middle of the support net 51. Therefore, the support net 51 can be subjected to a more uniform force during use and is less likely to deform. The first support rods 41 also help to improve the structural strength of the main cage body. The present pet cage utilizes a front stop rod 12 and a rear stop rod 12 to limit the forward and backward movement of the support net 51, respectively, so that the support net 51 is not likely to slide back and forth, thereby facilitating the removal and replacement of the support net 51. As a result, the present pet cage has a simple and reliable structure, is easy to use, and also helps to reduce product costs.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it may also have the following additional technical features:

[0031] In this embodiment, the width of the support net 51 in the front-to-back direction is smaller than and close to the front-to-back distance between the front block bar 12 and the rear block bar 22. This makes it easier to remove and install the support net 51, and can also reduce the distance the support net 51 moves back and forth during use, making it more reliable.

[0032] In this embodiment, the width of the support net 51 in the left and right directions is smaller than and close to the left and right spacing between the cages 30 on both sides, which facilitates the removal and installation of the support net 51, and uses the two side cages 30 to limit the left and right movement of the support net 51. The structure is simple, making the support net 51 more stable and reliable during use.

[0033] In this embodiment, a first access opening 61 is provided on the front cage 10 above the front barrier 12 for accessing the support net 51. The support net 51 can be easily removed from the first access opening 61 for cleaning by simply lifting the front end of the support net 51 away from the front barrier 12. During installation, the support net 51 can simply be placed through the first access opening 61, effectively facilitating assembly and disassembly of the support net 51. In other embodiments, other openings, such as the cage door, can also be used for accessing the support net 51, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0034] In this embodiment, the two ends of the first support rod 41 are respectively fixed to the bottom of the front bar 12 and the bottom of the rear bar 22, which is convenient for processing and fixing, and can also maximize the use of the thickness of the front bar 12 and the rear bar 22 to limit the support net 51 in the front and rear directions.

[0035] In this embodiment, the thickness of the front end of the support net 51 is similar to the thickness of the front barrier rod 12, and the thickness of the rear end of the support net 51 is similar to the thickness of the rear barrier rod 22. This makes the edge of the support net 51 smoother after installation, and can prevent pets from pulling the support net 51 and causing the support net 51 to be offset and misplaced, making it more beautiful and practical.

[0036] This embodiment also includes a tray 52. At least two second support rods 42 are provided within the main cage body. The tray 52 is placed on the second support rods 42 and below the support net 51. A second access opening 62 for the tray 52 to enter and exit is provided on one side of the main cage body, corresponding to the tray 52. At least one of the second support rods 42 is provided with an upwardly protruding stop 43. The stop 43 is used to abut against the side of the tray 52 to limit its movement toward the second access opening 62. When the tray 52 moves upward and is offset from the stop 43, it can enter and exit the second access opening 62. This prevents the tray 52 from sliding out when the pet cage is tilted, effectively facilitating installation, removal, and cleaning of the tray 52. The structure is simple and easy to manufacture and use.

[0037] In this embodiment, the limiting boss 43 is formed by bending a section of the second support rod 42, which has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture, thereby helping to reduce production costs. In other embodiments, the limiting boss 43 can also be fixed to the second support rod 42 by other suitable means such as welding, riveting, etc., and is not limited to this.

[0038] In this embodiment, the ends of the second support rod 42 are respectively fixed to the front fixing section 11 and the rear fixing section 21, and the second access opening 62 is located on the front cage grid 10, which helps to improve the structural strength of the main cage body and also facilitates the access to and placement of the tray 52. In other embodiments, the second access opening 62 can also be optionally located at any other location such as the side or rear of the main cage body.

[0039] Under the premise that no conflict occurs, those skilled in the art may freely combine and superimpose the above-mentioned additional technical features.
