For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; they can refer to direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0037] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides a cage, including a novel cage card protection device and a cage body 11 and a cage door 12 hingedly connected by hinges, and a metal plate 13 is welded to the upper part of the cage door 12.

[0039] The novel cage card protection device comprises a bottom box 2 and a cover plate 3.

[0040] The bottom box 2 is connected to the metal plate 13. The bottom box 2 includes a bottom plate 21 and at least two side edges 22 connected to the same side of the bottom plate 21. The bottom plate 21 is a polygon (the number of sides is greater than or equal to three). The bottom plate 21 and the side edges 22 jointly define a space to form a storage space for accommodating cage cards. The storage space has a first opening 23 and a second opening; there is one first opening 23, and the first opening 23 is arranged opposite to the bottom plate 21 (the bottom plate 21 is located at the bottom of the bottom box 2, and the first opening 23 is located at the top of the bottom box 2); there are 0, 1 or more second openings, and the second opening is arranged adjacent to the bottom plate 21 (the second opening is located on the side of the bottom box 2).

[0041] The cover plate 3 is partially or entirely made of a transparent material. The shape of the cover plate 3 is adapted to the first opening 23 , and the cover plate 3 is movably connected to the first opening 23 .

[0042] After the bottom box 2 is connected to the metal plate 13 and put into use, when a cage sign needs to be loaded, the cover 3 is opened to expose the first opening 23. The cage sign made of waterproof material is placed into the storage space through the first opening 23 and pasted on the bottom plate 21, and then the cover 3 is closed again. When removing the cage sign for cleaning or replacement, the reverse operation is sufficient.

[0043] From the above content, it can be seen that the new cage card protection device can provide protection for the cage card while conveniently realizing the disassembly and assembly of the cage card, so as to facilitate the replacement or cleaning of the cage card.

[0044] The following will give examples to illustrate the specific implementation of the new cage sign protection device.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The bottom plate 21 is a quadrilateral with four side edges 22 and zero second openings. The bottom plate 21 is connected to the metal plate 13 to achieve the connection between the bottom box 2 and the metal plate 13; preferably, the bottom plate 21 is made of metal such as stainless steel and is welded to the metal plate 13.

[0047] The edge of the cover plate 3 is made of a metal material such as stainless steel. A transparent observation window 31 is bonded to the center of the cover plate 3, preferably made of acrylic. One end of the cover plate 3 is hingedly connected to one of the side edges 22 via a hinge 32. A locking tongue 33 is provided on the free end of the cover plate 3 (the end opposite the hinge). A locking catch 34 is provided on the side edge 22, which cooperates with the locking tongue 33. The locking tongue 33 and the locking catch 34 cooperate to limit the position of the cover plate 3.

[0048] A plurality of water leakage holes 24 are provided on the side edge 22 and / or the bottom plate 21 to prevent water from accumulating in the storage space.

[0049] When in use, after pulling open the lock tongue 33 with an iron hook, the cover plate 3 can be rotated to open the cover plate 3 for easy disassembly and assembly of the cage plate.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 The bottom plate 41 is connected to the metal plate 13 to achieve the connection between the bottom box 4 and the metal plate 13; preferably, the bottom plate 41 is made of metal such as stainless steel, and the bottom plate 41 is welded to the metal plate 13.

[0052] The bottom plate 41 is quadrilateral, with three side edges 42 and one second opening 44. The side edges 42 are bent toward the storage space to form a bent portion 421. A slot 422 is formed between the bent portion 421 and the bottom plate 41 for plugging into a cover plate (not shown).

[0053] When assembling the bottom box 4 and the cover plate, the edge of the cover plate is inserted into the slot 422. When opening the cover plate, the cover plate is pulled out from the slot 422.

[0054] Furthermore, considering the need for better positioning of the cover, this embodiment provides a first mounting hole 46 on the bottom plate 41 and / or the side edge 42, and a second mounting hole on the cover, and one end of a screw (not shown in the figure) is threadedly connected to the first mounting hole 46 to fix the cover.

[0055] The threaded connection between the screw and the first mounting hole 46 is achieved by welding a nut in the first mounting hole 46 , cutting off the portion of the nut protruding from the first mounting hole 46 and then grinding it flat, thereby forming an internal thread in the first mounting hole 46 that matches the external thread of the screw.

[0056] When the first mounting hole 46 is formed on the bottom plate 41, although the present embodiment does not specifically limit the position of the first mounting hole 46 on the bottom plate 41, it is understood that in order to prevent the screw from affecting the cage plate, the mounting hole is arranged close to the edge of the bottom plate 41 so that there is enough space in the storage space to place the cage plate.

[0057] A plurality of water leakage holes 45 are provided on the side edge 42 and / or the bottom plate 41 to prevent water accumulation in the storage space.

[0058] Example 3

[0059] This embodiment is another implementation method for limiting the cover plate based on the second embodiment.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first mounting hole 46 and the second mounting hole are connected by a connecting component such as a carabiner (not shown in the figure) to fix the cover plate.

[0061] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. The embodiments and features of the embodiments of this application may be combined arbitrarily without conflict. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are intended to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
