[0029] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of this utility model provides a modular pet cage, including multiple mounting mechanisms 1, multiple upper connecting plates 2, multiple lower connecting plates 3, and multiple side plates 4. The mounting mechanisms 1 are arranged in a rectangular shape and include a fixing plate 12, and top fixing members 11 and bottom fixing members 13 inserted into the upper and lower ends of the fixing plate 12. The upper connecting plates 2 are inserted between the top fixing members 11, the lower connecting plates 3 are inserted between the bottom fixing members 13, and the side plates 4 are snapped between the upper connecting plates 2 and the lower connecting plates 3. Furthermore, the left and right sides of the side plate 4 are respectively snapped into the fixing plate 12; the bottom fixing member 13 facilitates the snapping of the lower connecting plate 3 between the bottom fixing members 13, the fixing plate 12 facilitates the snapping of the side plate 4 between the fixing plates 12, and the top fixing member 11 facilitates the snapping of the upper connecting plate 2 between the top fixing members 11. The top fixing member 11 and the bottom fixing member 13 facilitate the limiting connection of the side plate 4, thereby facilitating the fixed connection of the pet cage. With this splicing structure, the pet cage is easy to disassemble and install, and convenient for transportation and movement.
[0030] like Figures 2 to 3As shown, the top fixing member 11, fixing plate 12, and bottom fixing member 13 are all arranged in an L-shape, with both inner and outer corners being arc-shaped. The top fixing member 11 has inwardly recessed first insertion grooves 114 on both outer walls, and a first groove 113 penetrating through both outer walls, communicating with the first insertion grooves 114. The lower end of the top fixing member 11 has a through hole 112, and the upper end of the top fixing member 11 has a receiving hole 111 communicating with the through hole 112. The diameter of the receiving hole 111 is larger than the diameter of the through hole 112. The outer walls of the bottom fixing member 13 have inwardly recessed second insertion grooves 131, and the upper end of the bottom fixing member 13 has inwardly recessed limiting holes 132. The lower end of the bottom fixing member 13 has anti-slip stripes 1. 33; The outer walls on both sides of the fixing plate 12 are provided with a second groove 121, which corresponds to the first groove 113. The upper and lower ends of the fixing plate 12 are respectively fixedly connected with a positioning shaft 122 and a fixing shaft 124. The positioning shaft 122 extends into the through hole 112, and the fixing shaft 124 extends into the limiting hole 132. The upper end of the positioning shaft 122 is provided with an inwardly recessed threaded hole 123. The top fixing member 11 is connected to the bottom fixing member 13 through the through hole 112 and the bottom fixing member 13 through the limiting hole 132. The positioning shaft 122 extends into the through hole 112 and the limiting shaft extends into the limiting hole 132, which facilitates the installation of the fixing plate 12 between the top fixing member 11 and the bottom fixing member 13, thereby facilitating the installation of the side plate 4.
[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, a screw shaft 5 is provided inside the receiving hole 111. The upper end of the screw shaft 5 is connected to a fixing block 51 that fits into the receiving hole 111. A handle 52 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixing block 51. The lower end of the screw shaft 5 extends into the threaded hole 123 and is threadedly connected to the positioning shaft 122. By extending the screw shaft 5 into the threaded hole 123 provided on the positioning shaft 122, it is convenient to limit and fix the fixing plate 12. The handle 52 is provided to facilitate the rotation of the screw shaft 5.
[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, the lower connecting plate 3 and the upper connecting plate 2 are provided with inwardly recessed limiting grooves 31 on their corresponding outer walls. The lower connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected with locking blocks 32 on both outer walls near the bottom fixing member 13. The locking blocks 32 extend into the second insertion groove 131. The lower connecting plate 3 is fixedly installed between the bottom fixing members 13 by the locking blocks 32. The lower connecting plate 3 extends into the second insertion groove 131 provided on the outer wall of the bottom fixing member 13 by the locking blocks 32 on both sides, so as to facilitate the locking of the lower connecting plate 3 between the two bottom fixing members 13.
[0033] like Figure 6As shown, the side plate 4 includes a rectangular fixed frame 41. A mesh frame 42 is fixedly connected inside the fixed frame 41. Limiting blocks 43 are fixedly connected to the outer walls on the left and right sides of the fixed frame 41. The limiting blocks 43 are slidably connected inside the first groove 113 and the second groove 121, and the lower end of the limiting blocks 43 contacts the bottom fixing member 13. Limiting blocks 44 are fixedly connected to the outer walls on the upper and lower sides of the fixed frame 41. The limiting blocks 44 are limited and connected inside the limiting groove 31. After the lower connecting plate 3 is installed in place, the fixed frame 41 slides into the first groove 113 through the limiting blocks 43 on both sides. The fixed frame 41 moves downward, so that the limiting blocks 43 move into the second groove 121, and their bottom contacts the lower connecting plate 3. This causes the limiting blocks 44 at the lower end of the fixed frame 41 to extend into the limiting groove 31 and limit the fixed frame 41.
[0034] like Figures 7 to 8 As shown, the upper connecting plate 2 has inwardly recessed stretch grooves 22 on both outer walls near the top fixing member 11. The upper end of the upper connecting plate 2 has a set of limiting grooves 21, which communicate with the stretch grooves 22. A fixing mechanism 23 is connected inside the stretch groove 22. One end of the fixing mechanism 23 extending out of the stretch groove 22 extends into the first insertion groove 114. The fixing mechanism 23 includes a movable block 231 disposed inside the stretch groove 22 and a sliding shaft 232 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the stretch groove 22. One end of the movable block 231 extending into the stretch groove 22 has an inwardly recessed sliding groove 2311. A connecting shaft 234 is connected to the upper end of the movable block 231. The connecting shaft 234 extends through the limiting groove 21 to the outside of the upper connecting plate 2. A slider 235 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting shaft 234 located outside the upper connecting plate 2. The end of the sliding shaft 232 away from the inner wall of the stretch groove 22 extends into the sliding groove 2311. A spring 233 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sliding shaft 232. The two ends of the spring 233 are connected to the inner wall of the stretching groove 22 and the outer wall of the movable block 231, respectively. Then, by pulling the slider 235, the slider 235 drives the connecting shaft 234, thereby driving the movable block 231 to move into the stretching groove 22. During the movement, the sliding shaft 232 extends into the sliding groove 2311, and the movable block 231 contacts the spring 233, compressing the spring 233, so that the movable block 231 can extend into the stretching groove 22. This facilitates the installation of the upper connecting plate 2 between the top fixing parts 11. The limiting groove 31 at the lower end is connected to the limiting block 44 at the upper end of the fixing frame 41 for limiting. When the slider 235 is released, the spring 233 rebounds, driving the movable block 231 to reset. The movable block 231 moves out of the stretching groove 22 and extends into the first insertion groove 114, realizing the fixed connection between the upper connecting plate 2 and the bottom fixing parts 13 on both sides, thereby realizing the assembly connection of the pet cage and facilitating disassembly and installation.
[0035] Working principle of Example 1:
[0036] In use, firstly, the top fixing member 11 is connected to the bottom fixing member 13 through the through hole 112 and the limiting hole 132. The fixing plate 12 has a positioning shaft 122 and a limiting shaft, with the positioning shaft 122 extending into the through hole 112 and the limiting shaft extending into the limiting hole 132, facilitating the installation of the fixing plate 12 between the top fixing member 11 and the bottom fixing member 13. A stud is inserted into the threaded hole 123 to limit and fix the positioning shaft 122. The lower connecting plate 3 is then inserted into the second insertion groove 131 on the outer wall of the bottom fixing member 13 via the two side locking blocks 32, facilitating the locking of the lower connecting plate 3 between the two bottom fixing members 13. After the lower connecting plate 3 is installed, the fixing frame 41 slides into the first groove 113 via the two side limiting blocks 43. Moving the fixing frame 41 downwards causes the limiting blocks 43 to move into the second groove 121, with their bottoms contacting the lower connecting plate 3, thus securing the fixing plate. The limiting block 44 at the lower end of the fixed frame 41 extends into the limiting groove 31 to limit the fixed frame 41. Then, by pulling the slider 235, the slider 235 drives the connecting shaft 234, thereby driving the movable block 231 to move into the stretching groove 22. During the movement, the sliding shaft 232 extends into the sliding groove 2311, and the movable block 231 contacts the spring 233, compressing the spring 233, so that the movable block 231 can extend into the stretching groove 22, making it easier to install the upper connecting plate 2 between the top fixing parts 11. The limiting groove 31 at the lower end is connected to the limiting block 44 at the upper end of the fixed frame 41 for limiting. When the slider 235 is released, the spring 233 rebounds, driving the movable block 231 to reset. The movable block 231 moves out of the stretching groove 22 and extends into the first insertion groove 114, realizing the fixed connection between the upper connecting plate 2 and the bottom fixing parts 13 on both sides, thereby realizing the assembly connection of the pet cage, which is convenient for disassembly and installation.
