[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5The present invention provides a pet box with a concealed through-hole (hereinafter referred to as the present pet box). The present pet box comprises a box body 01, a through-hole 02 provided on the sidewall of the box body 01, and a through-hole sealing structure 03 detachably connected to the through-hole 02. The through-hole sealing structure 03 comprises a bolt 031 and a nut 032. The bolt cap 033 of the bolt 031 is located outside the box body 01, and the diameter of the bolt cap 033 is larger than the diameter of the through-hole 02. The nut 032 is located inside the box body 01, and the outer diameter of the nut 032 is larger than the diameter of the through-hole 02. The bolt and nut are preferably combined to form a through-hole sealing structure. If the through-hole is not required, the bolt can be inserted into the through-hole from the outside of the box body, and the nut can be tightened inside the box body to conceal the through-hole. The nut and cap are then clamped together to achieve a leak-proof seal. During pet transportation, the bolt and nut are installed on the box body. After use, the pet crate can be rinsed by loosening and removing the nuts and bolts. Water inside the crate will flow out through the through-holes. This structure eliminates any loose components, minimizing potential damage to the pet during transport. It is also more convenient to use and has a lower production cost than similar pet crates, effectively resolving existing issues.

[0031] To enhance the sealing effect of the nut and cap on the through-hole during use, in one embodiment, a sealing gasket 04 can be positioned between the nut 032 and the inner sidewall of the housing 01. The sealing gasket is fitted over the bolt 031. When the nut and cap are pressed against the housing sidewall, the sealing gasket adaptively deforms, enhancing the sealing effect of the through-hole closure structure.

[0032] In one embodiment, the cap 033 of the bolt 031 is a curved flat-head cap with a smooth outer edge, which prevents scratches on handling personnel during use. To facilitate removal, the top of the cap 033 is provided with a straight-shaped notch 034. The notch can be used to secure the bolt while the nut is being turned, and a straight-shaped notch is more suitable for a wider range of fixing tools.

[0033] To further enhance the sealing effect of the nut and cap on the through-hole during use, in one embodiment, the nut 032 is a cap nut 035. When the cap nut is connected to the bolt, only the bottom surface of the nut is open, which can reduce the possibility of leakage. Furthermore, when used with a sealing gasket, the sealing effect is greatly improved.

[0034] The through-hole arrangement can be customized based on the consumer's usage scenario. To facilitate cleaning of the pet crate, through-hole 02 can include a first through-hole 021 located at the bottom of the side wall of the crate body 01. The first through-hole is located near the bottom of the crate, which facilitates the outflow of liquid from the crate's interior. If the pet crate needs to be dragged long distances, through-hole 02 can also include a second through-hole 022 located at the bottom wall of the crate. Typically, there are four second through-holes 022, symmetrically positioned along the edge of the crate's bottom wall. After removing the through-hole sealing structure, the second through-holes can be used to install universal wheels, allowing consumers to install wheels on the pet crate as needed. In some cases, the second through-holes can also serve as drainage holes for cleaning or as a temporary shelter for pets.

[0035] Furthermore, a support boss 011 is provided on the outer side wall of the box body 01, adjacent to the second through hole 022. The top of the boss 011 is higher than the top of the cap 033. The boss 011 is a ring-shaped structure surrounding the second through hole. Without the universal wheel installed, the boss contacts the ground or the support base, preventing the cap from being compressed and affecting the lifespan of the pet carrier.

[0036] Furthermore, since increased air circulation within the pet box is often necessary during pet transport, a third through-hole 023 is provided on the top sidewall of the box. After removing the through-hole sealing structure, a fan can be installed in this third through-hole 023, increasing air flow within the pet box and cooling the pet. A camera can also be installed in this third through-hole 023, allowing users to observe the pet's real-time status within the box, meeting consumers' needs for real-time information on their pets when they cannot normally observe them.

[0037] In one embodiment, the through-holes 02 further include fourth through-holes 024 disposed on the top wall of the housing 01. There are four fourth through-holes 024 disposed symmetrically along the edge of the housing top wall. After removing the through-hole sealing structure, these can be used to install a pet grooming stand, serving as a temporary platform for pet cleaning.

[0038] In one embodiment, the bolt 031 and the nut 032 are made of engineering plastics (such as PVC polyvinyl chloride). Engineering plastics are light and strong, making them more convenient for use in pet boxes.

[0039] It is worth noting that the box body comprises an upper box body and a lower box body connected by fasteners, the upper box body and the lower box body enclosing a door opening, and a mesh door panel and a door lock are installed on the door opening. These structures are all existing technologies and are not described in detail in this application document.

[0040] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made by utilizing the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
