[0054] Furthermore, the terms "first" or "first" are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be interpreted as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0055] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.
[0056] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the transfer cage 100 provided in this embodiment from a first-view perspective; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of point A in the middle.
[0057] This utility model provides a transfer cage 100, which includes a cage body 110 and a movable component 120. The cage body 110 has a chamber 111 and an opening 112. The opening 112 is used for animals to enter and exit the chamber 111. The movable component 120 is movably connected to the cage body 110 and is used to open or close the opening 112.
[0058] Understandably, in this embodiment, the movable component 120 is the door frame of the cage 110, and in this embodiment, the cage 110 is provided with two opposing openings 112. Similarly, there are also two movable components 120, allowing animals to enter and exit the cage 110 from two directions. During animal transfer, animals can enter through one opening 112 and exit the cage 110 through the other opening 112, thus eliminating the need to turn the cage 110 around and reducing movement of the transfer cage 100. In this embodiment, the movable component 120 and the cage 110 slide together, and the openings 112 are opened or closed by controlling the sliding of the movable component 120.
[0059] It should be noted that both the cage 110 and the movable component 120 in this embodiment adopt a mesh structure, thereby ensuring the animal's normal breathing when it is in a certain space after the opening 112 is closed. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the transfer cage 100, used for transporting primates, is equipped with a mesh structure, allowing the animal to grasp the cage 110, ensuring its free movement within the chamber 111, and providing a more comfortable activity space for the animal.
[0060] In other embodiments, the shape and size of the cage 110 can be adapted to the different types of animals being transported.
[0061] Further, please refer to Figures 1-13 , Figure 13This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the movable component 120 provided in this embodiment. The movable component 120 includes a guide rail 121, a roller 122, and a body 123. The guide rail 121 is connected to the end of the opening 112; the roller 122 is connected to the body 123; and the roller 122 and the guide rail 121 are movably engaged. Specifically, in this embodiment, the movable component 120 is further provided with a slider, which is movably engaged with the guide rail 121. The roller 122 is disposed on the slider, and the roller 122 is at least partially in contact with the inner wall of the guide rail 121, thereby generating rolling friction during the movement of the movable component 120, thereby reducing friction and noise generated during sliding.
[0062] In this embodiment, a rubber sleeve can be provided on the roller 122 to reduce the vibration and noise generated when the roller 122 moves relative to the guide rail 121, thereby achieving the purpose of vibration reduction and noise reduction.
[0063] According to the above, the active component 120 also includes a limiting member 124, which is connected to one end of the guide rail 121 to limit the movement of the body 123 in the extension direction of the guide rail 121.
[0064] Understandably, to ensure that the movable component 120 does not continue to move along the extension direction of the guide rail 121 when the opening 112 is closed, this embodiment provides a limiting member 124 to ensure that the opening 112 can be closed by the movable component 120. When the body 123 and the limiting member 124 are in contact, the body 123 can be locked by a locking member to prevent the body 123 from sliding again during transportation, causing the opening 112 to open.
[0065] A buffer pad 125 is provided on the limiting member 124. When the opening 112 is closed, the buffer pad 125 contacts the body 123 to avoid the body 123 directly contacting the limiting member 124, thereby reducing the noise generated when the body 123 and the limiting member 124 collide and achieving a vibration reduction effect.
[0066] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 2 This embodiment also includes a noise reduction component 130, which includes a start switch 131, a first microphone 132, a processor 133, and a first speaker 134. The start switch 131 and the first microphone 132 are disposed at the movable engagement point between the movable component 120 and the cage 110, and are used to collect the sound emitted when the movable component 120 and the cage 110 collide. The processor 133 and the first speaker 134 are disposed in the cage 110. The processor 133 is electrically connected to the start switch 131, the microphone, and the first speaker 134.
[0067] Understandably, after the power switch 131 senses that the opening 112 is closed, it sends a power-on signal to the processor 133, thereby energizing the processor 133, i.e., the first microphone 132, the processor 133, and the first speaker 134, thus enabling the noise reduction component 130 to start operating. Since the first microphone 132 is located at the movable joint between the guide rail 121 and the body 123, the first microphone 132 can collect the noise generated when the guide rail 121 and the body 123 collide, and then send the first noise to the processor 133.
[0068] The processor 133 generates a first noise cancellation signal based on the first noise information sent by the first microphone 132 and transmits it to the first speaker 134. The first speaker 134 emits sound according to the first noise cancellation signal. Since the sound wave represented by the first noise cancellation signal cancels out the sound wave represented by the first noise, the propagation of noise is prevented, thereby achieving the purpose of noise reduction.
[0069] It should be noted that the processor 133 can send a first noise cancellation signal to the first speaker 134 and a soothing signal at the same time, depending on the type of animal in the chamber 111. This allows the sound emitted by the first speaker 134 to not only cancel out noise but also soothe the animal, reduce the likelihood of stress, and provide the animal with a more comfortable activity space.
[0070] In this embodiment, the number of the first microphone 132 and the first speaker 134 can be adjusted according to the actual noise level. Since there are two openings 112 in this embodiment, the start switch 131 will only send an open signal to the processor 133 after both openings 112 are closed.
[0071] Further, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 4 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the blind curtain assembly 140, the second microphone 135, and the second speaker 136 provided in this embodiment from a first-view perspective. Figure 4 This is a structural schematic diagram of the blind curtain assembly 140 provided in this embodiment from a second perspective.
[0072] The transfer cage 100 also includes a curtain assembly 140; the curtain assembly 140 is disposed on the cage body 110; the noise reduction assembly 130 also includes a second microphone 135 and a second speaker 136; the second microphone 135 is disposed on the outside of the curtain assembly 140; the second speaker 136 is disposed on the inside of the curtain assembly 140; both the second microphone 135 and the second speaker 136 are electrically connected to the processor 133.
[0073] Understandably, please refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 , Figure 5This is a structural schematic diagram of the cage 110 provided in this embodiment from a first-view perspective. In this embodiment, the cage 110 includes a bottom plate 115, a top plate 116, and side plates 117. The transfer cage 100 includes a bottom plate 115, a top plate 116, and multiple side plates 117. Each side plate 117 is connected to the bottom plate 115 and the top plate 116, and the multiple side plates 117 are connected sequentially. The bottom plate 115, the top plate 116, and the multiple side plates 117 together enclose the cage 110 with an opening 112. The top plate 116 and the side plates 117 both adopt a mesh structure.
[0074] Understandably, staff use transfer cages 100 to move animals from their original living environment to another. When animals are in different living environments, they need time to adapt to the new environment.
[0075] However, during the transfer process, because the transfer cage 100 is in a moving state, the animal will find that the surrounding environment is constantly changing while observing the outside world through the transfer cage 100, which will cause the animal to feel scared and thus experience stress.
[0076] Therefore, in order to reduce the possibility of stress and discomfort for animals during transportation due to environmental changes, this embodiment provides a blinding curtain assembly 140 to block the animals' vision and reduce the possibility of stress. It should be noted that the top panel 116 or the side panel 117 can be used for shading depending on the actual situation.
[0077] According to the above, in this embodiment, after the start switch 131 senses that the opening 112 is closed, it sends a power-on signal to the processor 133 to turn on the processor 133. At this time, not only the first microphone 132, the processor 133 and the first speaker 134 are powered on, but the second microphone 135 and the second speaker 136 are also powered on, thus starting to operate.
[0078] It should be noted that this embodiment is equipped with an insulating component to cover the noise reduction assembly 130, so as to prevent animals from touching the first microphone 132, processor 133, first speaker 134, second microphone 135 and second speaker 136 when they are in the power-on state, thereby preventing animals from being electrocuted, improving the safety of the transfer cage 100 and ensuring the safety of the animals.
[0079] The second microphone 135 is located on the outside of the blind curtain assembly 140, enabling it to collect external sounds and send a second noise signal to the processor 133. Based on the second noise signal, the processor 133 generates a second noise cancellation signal, which is transmitted to the second speaker 136. Upon receiving the second noise cancellation signal, the second speaker 136 emits a corresponding sound. Because the sound waves represented by the second noise signal and the signals represented by the second noise cancellation signal cancel each other out, some external noise cannot propagate into the chamber 111, thereby achieving noise reduction.
[0080] Similarly, while the processor 133 sends out the second silencing signal, it also sends out a soothing signal, so that the sound emitted by the second speaker 136 can soothe the animal and provide it with a more comfortable activity space.
[0081] Further, please refer to Figures 1-7 , Figure 6 This is a structural schematic diagram of the transfer cage 100 provided in this embodiment from a second perspective; Figure 7 for Figure 6 A magnified view of a section at point B in the middle.
[0082] The blind curtain assembly 140 in this embodiment includes a first blind curtain 141 and a magnetic member 142, wherein the first blind curtain 141 is connected to the magnetic member 142; wherein the magnetic member 142 is attracted to one or more of the cage 110 and the main body 123.
[0083] Specifically, in this embodiment, the magnetic suction member 142 connected to the first blind curtain 141 is attached to the top plate 116, and one or more second microphones 135 are provided on the inner side of the first blind curtain 141, and one or more second speakers 136 are provided on the outer side of the first blind curtain 141, so as to improve the noise reduction effect of the transfer cage 100.
[0084] Please refer to Figures 1-12 , Figure 8 This is a structural schematic diagram of the transfer cage 100 provided in this embodiment from a third-view perspective; Figure 9 This is a structural schematic diagram of the cage 110 provided in this embodiment from a second perspective; Figure 10 for Figure 9 A magnified view of a section at point C; Figure 11 This is a structural schematic diagram of the transfer cage 100 provided in this embodiment from a fourth-view perspective; Figure 12 for Figure 11 A magnified view of a section at point D.
[0085] The blind curtain assembly 140 in this embodiment further includes a second blind curtain 143, a first pull cord 144, a third blind curtain 145, and a second pull cord 146. The second blind curtain 143 is connected to the first pull cord 144. The fixed end of the second blind curtain 143 is connected to the cage body 110. The first pull cord 144 is used to drive the movable end of the second blind curtain 143 to move closer to or away from the fixed end of the second blind curtain 143 in a first direction. The third blind curtain 145 is connected to the second pull cord 146. The fixed end of the third blind curtain 145 is connected to the end of the opening 112. The second pull cord 146 is used to drive the movable end of the third blind curtain 145 to move closer to or away from the fixed end of the third blind curtain 145 in a second direction.
[0086] Understandably, in this embodiment, the second shielding curtain 143 is disposed on the side panel 117 of the cage 110, and the third shielding curtain 145 is disposed at the opening 112 to block the animal's line of sight, thereby preventing the animal from observing changes in the surrounding environment. In this embodiment, there are two openings 112 and two side panels 117, therefore, there are two second shielding curtains 143 and two third shielding curtains 145.
[0087] In this embodiment, one end of the first pull cord 144 is connected to the movable end of the second blind curtain 143, thereby pulling the other end of the first pull cord 144, causing the movable end of the second blind curtain 143 to move along the extension direction of the first pull cord 144. Similarly, one end of the second pull cord 146 is connected to the movable end of the third blind curtain 145, thereby pulling the other end of the second pull cord 146, causing the movable end of the third blind curtain 145 to move along the extension direction of the second pull cord 146.
[0088] Understandably, since different animals have different abilities to perceive changes in the environment, staff can choose to use the first curtain 141, the second curtain 143, or the third curtain 145 according to the actual situation, so as to provide the animals with a more comfortable activity space.
[0089] It should be noted that one or more second microphones 135 are provided on the outer side of the second curtain 143 and the outer side of the third curtain 145, and one or more second speakers 136 are provided on the inner side of the second curtain 143 and the inner side of the third curtain 145. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first curtain 141, the second curtain 143, and the third curtain 145 are all made of noise-absorbing materials, thereby improving the noise reduction effect and providing a more comfortable activity space for the animals.
[0090] In other embodiments, the top plate 116 of the cage 110 may also employ a second blind curtain 143, which blocks the animal's view by moving along the first pull rope 144.
[0091] In other embodiments, the first blind curtain 141 may also be attached to the side panel 117 and the main body 123 of the cage 110.
[0092] In this embodiment, the top plate 116 may be provided with multiple first shielding curtains 141, each side plate 117 may be provided with multiple second shielding curtains 143, and each opening 112 may be provided with multiple third shielding curtains 145, which are divided into full shielding curtains and half shielding curtains. Thus, according to the differences in the perception and adaptability of different animals, shielding curtains with different degrees of shielding can be selected to provide animals with a more comfortable activity space.
[0093] Based on the above settings, please refer to... Figures 1-12 In this embodiment, the transfer cage 100 further includes a driver 150, which is disposed on the top of the cage body 110. Each pull cord is connected to the driver 150, which is used to drive the second curtain 143 and the third curtain 145. Specifically, each first pull cord 144 and each second pull cord 146 is wound around the shaft of the driver 150, so that when the shaft rotates, the length of the extended portion of the first pull cord 144 and the second pull cord 146 changes, thereby causing the second curtain 143 and the third curtain 145 to unfold or fold.
[0094] Based on the above, in this embodiment, each cage 110 is provided with a partition 113, and the second shielding curtain 143 is disposed within the partition 113.
[0095] Understandably, if the second blind curtain 143 is located on the outer side of the side panel 117, it may be blown away by the wind, thus failing to block the animal's view. If the second blind curtain 143 is located on the inner side of the side panel 117, it may be damaged by the animal. Therefore, in this embodiment, a partition 113 is provided on the side panel 117, and the second blind curtain 143 is located inside the partition 113.
[0096] Since the side panel 117 in this embodiment has a mesh structure, two side panels 117, one inside and one outside, can be provided, with the two side panels 117 spaced apart, and the second blind curtain 143 is provided at the interval between the two side panels 117.
[0097] Similarly, the active component 120 includes two bodies 123, which are spaced apart, and a third curtain 145 is located between the two bodies 123.
[0098] In order to ensure that the inner body 123 can move smoothly, the cage 110 is provided with a clearance hole 114 near the opening 112. The clearance hole 114 is used to allow the inner body 123 to pass through.
[0099] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the second direction is the extension direction of the guide rail 121, while the first direction is the direction perpendicular to the guide rail 121. Since the main body 123 needs to open and close the opening 112, the extension direction of the third curtain 145 needs to be consistent with the extension direction of the guide rail 121 to ensure that the third curtain 145 can be smoothly unfolded. The second curtain 143 is disposed on the cage 110 and can move along either the length or width direction of the side plate 117.
[0100] Further, please refer to Figures 1-12 In this embodiment, the transport cage 100 includes multiple inflatable rubber wheels 160, all of which are movably connected to the cage body 110. Specifically, when an animal needs to be transported, the inflatable rubber wheels 160 are inflated, enabling them to move the cage body 110. Furthermore, due to the use of rubber material, the vibration and noise generated when the inflatable rubber wheels 160 contact the ground during movement are reduced, thereby achieving the purpose of noise reduction and vibration damping.
[0101] In other embodiments, the transfer cage 100 includes multiple casters, which are movably connected to the cage body 110. Each caster is fitted with a buffer sleeve, which utilizes the buffering effect of the buffer sleeve to achieve the purpose of noise reduction and vibration reduction.
[0102] It should be noted that after the animal is transported to its destination, a fastener can be used to connect the ground and the cage 110 together, thereby preventing the cage 110 from moving again and avoiding stress to the animal due to the sudden movement of the cage 110 when the animal is released.
[0103] According to the above configuration, a handrail 170 is also provided in this embodiment. During the transfer process, the staff can grab the handrail 170 to control the movement of the transfer cage 100.
[0104] Furthermore, in this embodiment, one or more of the side panels 117 and movable components 120 are also provided with a plurality of side panels 117 or movable components 120 detachably connected to the ground panel. Workers can interact with the animal by removing parts of the panel to expose its limbs.
[0105] In summary, the transfer cage 100 uses the start switch 131 to determine whether the opening 112 is closed, and activates the processor 133 after the opening 112 is closed by the moving component 120. Subsequently, the processor 133 can receive the first noise information collected by the first microphone 132 and emit the first silencing information, thereby canceling out the first noise information and the first silencing information, resulting in a reduction of noise transmitted into the transfer cage 100, achieving the purpose of noise reduction; and, by utilizing the movement of the rollers 122 and the guide rails 121, the vibration frequency of the transfer cage 100 during the movement of the main body 123 can be reduced, thereby achieving the purpose of vibration reduction; reducing the possibility of stress on animals due to noise and vibration, and providing animals with a more comfortable activity space.
[0106] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this 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 in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
