[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.

[0028] A fence adjustment structure and its pet cage, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the system includes a supplementary fence 10, one side of which is hinged to a main fence 11; and a range adjustment assembly, which is movably disposed on one side of the main fence 11. The range adjustment assembly includes a central column 12, a base plate 13, a middle plate 16, and a top plate 20. The base plate 13, the middle plate 16, and the top plate 20 are all rotatably disposed above the central column 12. The base plate 13 is slidably disposed at the bottom of the middle plate 16, and the middle plate 16 is slidably disposed at the bottom of the top plate 20. The main fence 11 is engaged with the base plate 13, the middle plate 16, and the top plate 20.

[0029] The working principle is as follows: This device uses a range adjustment component and is supported by a central column 12. By rotating the base plate 13, middle plate 16 and top plate 20, the range between the supplementary fence 10 and the main fence 11 is adjusted, thereby controlling the distance between the supplementary fence 10 and the main fence 11 to adapt to the size of the pet's growth. This allows the pet cage to be used in three different sizes, increasing the applicability of the pet cage using this device and expanding the scope of application of the pet cage.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the central column 12 is a nail-shaped column, and there are two middle plates 16. The bottom plate 13, the two middle plates 16, and the top plate 20 are identical in shape. Each of the bottom plate 13, middle plate 16, and top plate 20 consists of a square plate and a circular plate. A pivot opening 18 is provided in the circular plate, and the central column 12 is rotatably connected to the pivot opening 18 via a bearing. Figure 2 As shown, a sliding block 15 is connected to one side of the top surface of the base plate 13 and the two middle plates 16, and a retaining edge 19 is fixedly connected to the two included angle sides of the top plate 20 and the two middle plates 16. The sliding block 15 is located above one of the retaining edges 19 and is correspondingly engaged within the retaining edge 19; Figure 2 As shown, an arc-shaped groove 17 is provided on the bottom surface of the top plate 20 and the bottom surfaces of the two middle plates 16. A retaining edge 19 is provided at each end of the groove 17. A sliding block 15 slides within the groove 17 and engages with the retaining edges 19 at both ends. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, support grooves 14 are provided on the four sides of the bottom plate 13, the top plate 20 and the two middle plates 16. The support grooves 14 are square. Four support sliders 21 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the main fence 11. The four support sliders 21 correspond to the four support grooves 14 respectively. The support sliders 21 slide and engage in the support grooves 14.

[0031] The working principle is as follows: First, in the initial state, the usable area of ​​the range adjustment component is a small square. At this time, the supplementary fence 10 and the main fence 11 are folded. The arrangement order of the range adjustment components is top plate 20, upper middle plate 16, lower middle plate 16, and bottom plate 13. When in use, the top plate 20 is moved. When the top plate 20 rotates around the central axis column 12, the bottom slide groove 17 slides on the sliding block 15. When the top plate 20 rotates to ninety degrees, the locking edge 19 at one end of the slide groove 17 locks into the sliding block 15 connected to the upper middle plate 16. At this time, the usable area of ​​the range adjustment component is a rectangle. Continue to rotate the top plate 20. At this time, the upper middle plate 16 is active. The sliding groove at the bottom of the upper middle plate 16 slides on the lower middle plate 16, so that the sliding block 15 connected to the lower middle plate 16 is engaged in the locking edge 19 on the side of the upper middle plate 16 away from the sliding block 15. Continue to rotate the top plate 20. At this time, the lower middle plate 16 slides and rotates on the sliding block 15 on the top surface of the bottom plate 13. When the sliding block 15 on the top surface of the bottom plate 13 is engaged in the locking edge 19 on the other side of the lower middle plate 16, the range adjustment component forms a large square applicable range. At this time, the supplementary fence 10 and the main fence 11 are deployed and used.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, both the supplementary fence 10 and the main fence 11 are provided with four sets. The supplementary fence 10 and the main fence 11 have similar shapes. Both the supplementary fence 10 and the main fence 11 are L-shaped plates. One end of the supplementary fence 10 has a second latch 25, and one end of the main fence 11 has a first latch 24. The side of the supplementary fence 10 away from the second latch 25 is hinged to the side of the main fence 11 near the first latch 24. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a locking block 22 is fixedly connected to the side of the main fence 11 away from the first locking slot 24. Multiple locking blocks 22 are respectively locked into the first locking slot 24 and the second locking slot 25. Threaded holes 23 are opened on the top of the locking blocks 22, the first locking slot 24 and the second locking slot 25. Bolts are movably passed through the threaded holes 23. The locking blocks 22, the first locking slot 24 and the second locking slot 25 are all fixed by bolts.

[0033] The specific implementation method is as follows: During use, the range adjustment component's operating range is adjusted according to the pet's size. Within the small square operating range, the supplementary fence 10 and main fence 11 are folded. At this time, the four support sliders 21 of the four main fences 11 are respectively engaged in the support grooves 14 of the top plate 20, two middle plates 16, and bottom plate 13 of the range adjustment component. Simultaneously, the four main fences 11 are respectively engaged in the corresponding first latches 24 via their locking blocks 22, forming a small square enclosure. Bolts are then used to fix them in their respective threaded holes 23. When the range adjustment component forms a rectangular operating range, the two sets of supplementary fences 10 and main fences 11 unfold. At this time, the two sets of supplementary fences 10 and main fences 11 remain folded. The folded main fences... The locking block 22 of the main fence 11 engages with the second locking slot 25 of the supplementary fence 10 in its unfolded state. At this time, the support slider 21 of the main fence 11 engages in the corresponding support groove 14. When the range adjustment component forms a large square usable range, the supplementary fence 10 and the main fence 11 engage with the corresponding first locking slot 24 and second locking slot 25 using the locking block 22. Then, a bolt is passed through the thread 23 to fix the connection between the locking block 22 and the first locking slot 24 or the second locking slot 25. Then, the support slider 21 engages with the corresponding support groove 14, which not only supports the position of the main fence 11 but also further maintains the connection between the main fence 11 and the range adjustment component, thereby achieving quick installation. The locking design facilitates disassembly and installation and is relatively simple to operate.

[0034] A pet cage includes a pet cage body with an adjustable fence structure. The bottom of the pet cage body is fixedly connected to the top surface of a central column 12. A bottom plate 13, a top plate 20, and two middle plates 16 rotate between the central column 12 and the pet cage body. Supplementary fences 10 and main fences 11 are respectively snapped onto the four sides of the pet cage body. By setting the above-mentioned adjustable fence structure, the device has the characteristics of wide applicability and quick disassembly and installation.
