Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of animal transport devices, in particular to an animal transport cage structure. Background Art

[0002] Animals are often transported. For example, monkeys sometimes need to be moved from one enclosure to another within a monkey enclosure. This requires the use of a transport cage, which is more than just a tool; it ensures the safety and comfort of the animals. Transport cages are designed with the monkeys' size and habits in mind, typically using well-ventilated materials and lined with soft padding to reduce stress on the animals during transport.

[0003] However, in the existing technology, most transfer cages are usually transported in a stacked manner. If the transfer cages are not fixed after stacking, it is easy to cause the transfer cages to tilt or even risk tilting and collapsing. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an animal transport cage structure, which is provided with a fixing mechanism so that the second transport cage can be stably stacked on the top surface of the first transport cage, thereby improving the stability of the entire stacking and avoiding the loosening of the second transport cage due to shaking during transportation. It solves the problem that most transport cages are usually transported in a stacked manner. If the transport cages are not fixed after stacking, it is easy to cause the transport cages to become skewed.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The utility model is an animal transport cage structure, comprising a bottom plate, a top surface of which is fixedly connected to a transport cage 1, a top surface of which is placed a transport cage 2, and a fixing mechanism is provided between the transport cage 1 and the transport cage 2;

[0007] The fixing mechanism includes several fixing blocks 1 that are fixedly connected to the top surface of the transfer cage 1, and a hinge rod is fixedly connected between corresponding two fixing blocks 1. Four hinge rods are provided, and the outer walls of the four hinge rods are rotatably connected to hinge plates, and the outer walls of the four hinge rods are wound with torsion springs, one end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hinge rod, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the hinge plate. Several fixing blocks 2 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the transfer cage 2, and a fixing rod is fixedly connected between corresponding two fixing blocks 2. Four fixing rods are provided, and the top surfaces of the four hinge plates are fixedly connected to rotating rods, and the outer walls of the four rotating rods are rotatably connected to hooks, and the four hooks are respectively mounted on the outer walls of the four fixing rods.

[0008] Furthermore, door opening mechanisms are provided on the left and right sides of the transfer cage 1 and the transfer cage 2, and the door opening mechanisms include fixing frames fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the transfer cage 1 and the transfer cage 2, respectively.

[0009] Furthermore, a slide groove is provided inside each of the four fixing frames, a baffle is slidably connected to the inner walls of the four slide grooves, and a handle is fixedly connected to the front side of the four baffles.

[0010] Furthermore, an insertion rod is slidably passed through each of the four fixing frames, and a gasket is fixedly connected to the outer walls of the four insertion rods.

[0011] Furthermore, a spring is wound around the outer wall of each of the four insertion rods, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the insertion rod, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the fixing frame.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the four slide grooves is provided with a slot, and the insertion rod is adapted to the slot.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer walls of the four insertion rods are slidably connected to the inner walls of the four slots respectively, and the top surface of the bottom plate is rotatably connected to four universal wheels.

[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. By providing a fixing mechanism, after placing the transfer cage 2 on the top surface of the transfer cage 1, the hinged plate can be pushed upward. At this time, under the action of the torsion spring, the torsion spring can provide the hinged plate with a force to rotate downward. When the draw hook is set on the fixed rod, the hinged plate can be loosened, so that the hinged plate can be rotated downward and reset. Under the action of multiple hinged plates and draw hooks, the transfer cage 2 can be tightly attached to the top surface of the transfer cage 1, so that the transfer cage 2 can be stably stacked on the top surface of the transfer cage 1, thereby improving the overall stability after stacking and avoiding shaking during transportation and causing the transfer cage 2 to loosen.

[0016] 2. By setting up a door opening mechanism, the two fixed frames on the transfer cage 1 and the transfer cage 2 are connected to the animal transport vehicle and the animal room respectively, which facilitates the transportation of animals. When the animals are transported to the company, there is no need to rush them to the animal room manually. The animals can be directly moved to the animal room using the transfer cage, which saves time and effort. When the gasket is manually pulled to drive the insertion rod to move, the insertion rod will be driven away from the slot on the baffle. At this time, the spring is compressed. After the baffle is pulled out by the handle, the baffle can be opened, so that the animals can be moved into the animal room. The mechanism can quickly disassemble and install the baffle, which greatly improves the efficiency of animal transportation.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
