Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet cage technology, and in particular to a press-type folding mechanism, a pet cage frame, and a pet cage. Background Technology

[0002] The patent with patent number "ZL202020633717.0" and patent name "A Foldable Pet Cage Frame and Pet Cage" is the closest prior art to this application. The folding operation of this pet cage is achieved by pushing the operating lever with the fingers. In actual use, in order to increase the pushing force on the operating lever, the palm needs to grip the folding mechanism tightly. However, during the folding or unfolding process, the folding mechanism often pinches the fingers or palm, which can cause serious injury to the operator. Furthermore, when the pet cage frame is subjected to a certain external force, the folding mechanism requires a lot of force to complete the folding, making the operation difficult. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a press-type folding mechanism, a pet cage frame, and a pet cage. This press-type folding mechanism allows the pet cage frame to be quickly folded by pressing with a finger from the side of the pet cage, making operation safe and convenient.

[0004] A press-type folding mechanism includes an upper pivot member and a lower pivot member, which are rotatably connected by a connector. The upper and lower pivot members are rotatably limited by a limiting part. A button is movably engaged on the outer side of the lower pivot member. The button switches the upper and lower pivot members between a locked state and a relatively rotatable state by pressing the limiting part.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, both the upper pivot member and the lower pivot member include a positioning sleeve and an adapter plate integrally formed at the end of the positioning sleeve. The adapter plate of the lower pivot member is provided with a slot for installing the button on its outer side.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the adapter plate is provided with a limiting groove for use with the limiting part. The limiting part includes a movable block, a positioning groove is provided in the movable block, a compression spring is provided in the positioning groove, and the two ends of the compression spring abut against the upper pivot member and the movable block respectively. The outer ring of the movable block is provided with limiting teeth.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the limiting teeth are evenly distributed along the circumference of the movable block.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the button includes a pressing block, and an anti-disengagement tooth is vertically mounted on one side of the pressing block. The anti-disengagement tooth passes through the slot and is used to press the limiting part.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the anti-detachment tooth is positioned directly opposite the limiting tooth.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the connector is a rivet.

[0011] A pet cage frame that uses the press-and-fold mechanism described in any one of the above as a connector between the upper and lower vertical bars of the pet cage.

[0012] A pet cage using the aforementioned pet cage frame.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This press-type folding mechanism changes the traditional folding method, achieving rapid folding of the pet cage frame through lateral pressing. It is effortless to operate, and fingers or palms are kept away from the folding clamping area, preventing injury. The crossbars of the pet cage frame are connected to the plastic connectors using V-shaped double-ended spring clips, making assembly and disassembly convenient. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2The illustrated push-to-fold mechanism includes an upper pivot 1 and a lower pivot 2, which are rotatably connected by a connector. The upper pivot 1 and the lower pivot 2 are rotatably limited by a limiting part 3. A button 4 is movably engaged on the outer side of the lower pivot 2. The button 4 switches between a locked state and a relatively rotatable state between the upper pivot 1 and the lower pivot 2 by pressing the limiting part 3.

[0022] In this embodiment, both the upper pivot connector 1 and the lower pivot connector 2 include a positioning sleeve 5 and an adapter plate 6 integrally formed at the end of the positioning sleeve 5. The adapter plate 6 of the lower pivot connector 2 is provided with a slot 7 for installing the button 4 on its outer side.

[0023] In this embodiment, the adapter plate 6 is provided with a limiting groove 8 that cooperates with the limiting part 3. The limiting part 3 includes a movable block 9. The movable block 9 is provided with a positioning groove 10. The positioning groove 10 is provided with a compression spring (not shown in the figure). The two ends of the compression spring abut against the upper pivot member 1 and the movable block 9 respectively. The outer ring of the movable block 9 is provided with limiting teeth 11.

[0024] In this embodiment, the limiting teeth 11 are evenly distributed around the movable block 9.

[0025] In this embodiment, the button 4 includes a pressing block 12, and an anti-detachment tooth 13 is vertically installed on one side of the pressing block 12. The anti-detachment tooth 13 passes through the slot 7 and is used to press the limiting part 3.

[0026] In this embodiment, the anti-detachment tooth 13 is positioned directly opposite the limiting tooth 11.

[0027] In this embodiment, the connector is a rivet.

[0028] In this embodiment, the adapter plate 6 of the upper pivot connector 1 and the lower pivot connector 2 and the limiting part 3 located in the middle are connected by rivets. After the limiting tooth 11 releases the restriction on the lower pivot connector 2, the upper pivot connector 1 and the lower pivot connector 2 can rotate relative to each other.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the pet cage frame is in its unfolded state. Parts of the limiting teeth 11 are located within the limiting grooves 8 of the upper pivot connector 1 and the lower pivot connector 2, respectively. At this time, the upper pivot connector 1 and the lower pivot connector 2 are locked. To fold the pet cage frame, press button 4 from the side of the lower pivot connector 2. The anti-detachment teeth 13 press against the limiting part 3 until the limiting teeth 11 disengage from the limiting grooves 8 within the lower pivot connector 2. The limiting part 3 then releases its positional restriction on the upper pivot connector 1 and the lower pivot connector 2, allowing the pet cage frame to be rotated and folded. Figure 4As shown, during the folding process, the upper pivot joint 1 and the limiting part 3 rotate synchronously. When the limiting grooves 8 on the upper pivot joint 1 and the lower pivot joint 2 are misaligned, the limiting part 3 is prevented from resetting. To unfold the pet cage frame back to its original position... Figure 3 When in the state shown, rotate the upper pivot 1 and the lower pivot 2 until the limiting grooves 8 on the upper pivot 1 and the lower pivot 2 are facing each other. The compression spring in the limiting part 3 will push the limiting part 3 to reset, thus realizing the switching of the pet cage frame between the two states.

[0030] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 The pet cage frame shown uses the press-and-fold mechanism described in any one of the above-mentioned methods as the connector between the upper and lower vertical bars of the pet cage.

[0031] The pet cage frame features a V-shaped double-ended spring clip connecting the pivot joint to the upper and lower square frames and the horizontal or vertical bars, making it easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
