How to design a simple pet door control device that can reduce the number of parts and optimize the mechanical structure to facilitate use by elderly users is a technical problem that enterprise R&D personnel urgently need to solve. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, this application provides a simple control device for pet doors.

[0004] The above-mentioned inventive objective of this application is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A simple pet door control device includes a door frame and a movable door. The movable door is rotatably installed inside the top of the door frame. The front end and rear end of the movable door are respectively provided with an inlet engagement groove and an outlet engagement groove. The bottom of the door frame is provided with an installation groove. A locking tongue is rotatably installed in the installation groove. The front end of the locking tongue is provided with a first inlet locking part and the rear end is provided with a first outlet locking part corresponding to the position of the first inlet locking part. The rear end of the locking tongue is also provided with a second outlet locking part.

[0006] The bolt has a first engaged position, a second engaged position, a third engaged position, and a movable position on its rotation trajectory.

[0007] When the latch is rotated to the first locking position, the first inlet locking part and the first outlet locking part both extend into the door frame and abut against the inlet engagement groove and the outlet engagement groove respectively.

[0008] When the latch is rotated to the second locking position, the first inlet locking part extends into the door frame and abuts against the inlet engaging groove, and both the first outlet locking part and the second outlet locking part are located inside the mounting groove;

[0009] When the latch is rotated to the third locking position, the second outlet locking part extends into the door frame and abuts against the outlet engaging groove, and the first inlet locking part and the first outlet locking part are both located inside the mounting groove;

[0010] When the latch is rotated to the active position, the first inlet locking part, the first outlet locking part, and the second outlet locking part are all located inside the mounting groove.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable door, which is rotated at the top of the door frame, allows pets to push it in and out. The movable door can also reset under its own weight. Furthermore, by rotating the latch, four locking mechanisms for the pet movable door can be provided between the first inlet locking part at the front end of the latch, the first outlet locking part at the rear end of the latch, the second outlet locking part, and the inlet and outlet engagement grooves opened at the front and rear ends of the movable door. For elderly pet owners or users with less strength, the locking mechanism of the pet movable door can be switched simply by rotating the latch, simplifying the manual opening process and making it easier for users to operate. Moreover, through the multiple locking mechanisms of the latch, users can control the activity area of ​​their pets according to actual needs, preventing pets from accidentally escaping or entering prohibited areas, thereby improving the security of the pet door.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, this application can be further configured such that: a connecting hole is provided at the front end of the door frame and a knob is provided thereon, the connecting hole is connected to the mounting groove, and the knob is coaxially and fixedly connected to the lock tongue.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting hole provides a position for the knob to connect to the bolt, so that the user can control the bolt rotation by rotating the knob to switch different locking mechanisms, which can improve the user experience.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the application may be further configured such that the knob is provided with anti-slip texture around its periphery.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip texture can increase the roughness of the knob surface, thereby enhancing the stability of rotation operation.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the application may be further configured such that the knob is detachably and fixedly connected to the latch via a threaded connection.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution and using a threaded connection, the stability and flexibility of the connection between the knob and the latch can be enhanced, making it easier for users to disassemble and install the knob for inspection or replacement.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment, this application can be further configured as follows: a positioning rod is provided inside the mounting groove, a positioning spring is sleeved on the positioning rod, the positioning spring abuts against the front end of the latch, and four positioning slots are respectively opened at the front end of the latch corresponding to the first locking position, the second locking position, the third locking position, and the movable position. When the latch rotates to the first locking position, the second locking position, the third locking position, or the movable position, the positioning spring is inserted and engaged with the corresponding positioning slot.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning rod provides an installation position for the positioning spring, so that the positioning spring can continuously abut against the bolt. When the bolt rotates to any locked or movable position, the positioning spring and the positioning groove engage, ensuring that the bolt can accurately stop at the four predetermined positions during rotation. At the same time, when rotating the knob, the user does not need to search for or adjust the position of the bolt. Simply rotating the knob will automatically engage the positioning spring with the corresponding positioning groove, fixing the bolt in the required position. This greatly simplifies the operation process, improves the convenience of operation, and enhances the rotation feel.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, under the magnetic attraction of the first and second magnets, the movable door can quickly return to its original position after opening, reducing the likelihood of the movable door shaking.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. The movable door, which rotates at the top of the door frame, allows pets to push it in and out. The door can also reset under its own weight. Furthermore, by rotating the latch, four locking mechanisms are provided between the first inlet locking part at the front of the latch, the first outlet locking part at the rear of the latch, the second outlet locking part, and the inlet and outlet engagement slots at the front and rear of the movable door. For elderly pet owners or users with limited strength, simply rotating the latch allows them to switch between the locking mechanisms, simplifying manual opening and making it easier for users to operate. Through these multiple locking mechanisms, users can control their pet's activity area according to their needs, preventing accidental escape or entry into prohibited areas, thus improving the security of the pet door.

[0024] 2. The connecting hole provides a position for the knob to connect to the bolt, so that the user can control the bolt rotation by rotating the knob to switch between different locking mechanisms, which can improve the user experience.

[0025] 3. The positioning rod provides an installation position for the positioning spring, allowing the positioning spring to continuously abut against the bolt. When the bolt rotates to any locked or movable position, the positioning spring engages with the positioning groove, ensuring that the bolt accurately stops at one of the four predetermined positions during rotation. Furthermore, users do not need to search for or adjust the bolt position when rotating the knob; simply rotating the knob automatically engages the positioning spring with the corresponding positioning groove, fixing the bolt in the desired position. This significantly simplifies the operation, improves convenience, and enhances the feel of rotation.
