[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.
[0027] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or device.
[0028] like Figures 1-8 The folding anti-theft pet cage shown includes a front longitudinal plate 3 and a rear longitudinal plate 4 that are parallel to each other. The upper and lower edges and left and right edges of the front longitudinal plate 3 and the rear longitudinal plate 4 are aligned. The lower edge of the front longitudinal plate 3 is rotatably connected to a lower support plate 2 via a hinge shaft 6. The lower support plate 2 has a second locking plate 201 on its edge away from its own pivot point. It can be connected to the bottom of the rear longitudinal plate 4 by a lock. Here, the lock refers to a sealing device that can only be opened with a key, including a lock cylinder and a detachable matching key. The second locking plate 201 has a second lock hole 202 that passes through the left and right sides. The rear side of the rear longitudinal plate 4 has a lower limit plate 401 with a lower lock hole 402 that passes through the left and right sides for the lock beam of the lock to pass through. Once the beam is locked, it can only be opened with a key, making it difficult to forcibly break the lock beam to open the pet cage. The upper edge of the rear longitudinal plate 4 is rotatably connected to the upper flip cover 1 via the hinge shaft 6. The edge of the upper flip cover 1 away from its own pivot has a first locking plate 101, which can also be connected to the top of the front longitudinal plate 3 via a lock. The first locking plate 101 has a first lock hole 102 that passes through the left and right sides. The front side of the front longitudinal plate 3 has an upper limit plate 301, which has an upper lock hole 302 that passes through the left and right sides and can be aligned with the first lock hole 102, allowing the lock beam of another lock to pass through, thereby achieving the anti-theft function. The lock beam of the lock can also pass through the fixing ring structure where the pet cage is placed on the ground, which can prevent the pet cage from being stolen along with it.
[0029] The edge of the upper cover 1 away from the rotation shaft is provided with a first slot 103, which can be combined with the lower limit plate 401 after the upper cover 1 is turned back by 270°. In addition, the edge of the lower support plate 2 away from the rotation shaft is also provided with a second slot 203, which can be combined with the upper limit plate 301 after the lower support plate 2 is turned forward by 270°. Generally, the combination of the first insertion plate 101, the first slot 103 and the upper limit plate 301 is provided with two groups, which are close to the left and right sides of the upper cover 1 and the front longitudinal plate 3. The combination of the second insertion plate 201, the second slot 203 and the lower limit plate 401 is also provided with two groups, which are close to the left and right sides of the lower support plate 2 and the rear longitudinal plate 4. There are a total of four locks, so at least two keys are needed to open the pet cage, thereby further reducing the probability of pet theft in the cage.
[0030] The front longitudinal plate 3 and the rear longitudinal plate 4 are movably connected with a pair of folding plates 5, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the front longitudinal plate 3 and the rear longitudinal plate 4, and serve as left and right side shielding structures of the entire pet cage. The two folding plates 5 are always left-right symmetrical about the front longitudinal plate 3 and the rear longitudinal plate 4. Each folding plate 5 includes a front folding plate 510 and a rear folding plate 520. The rear edge of the front folding plate 510 is rotatably connected with the front edge of the rear folding plate 520 through a hinge shaft 6, and the rotation axis is the intersection line of the outer side surfaces of the front folding plate 510 and the rear folding plate 520. The front edge of the front folding plate 510 is rotatably connected with the left edge or the right edge of the front longitudinal plate 3 through a hinge shaft 6, and the rotation axis is the intersection line of the rear side surface of the front longitudinal plate 3 and the inner side surface of the front folding plate 510. Similarly, the rear edge of the rear folding plate 520 is rotatably connected with the left edge or the right edge of the rear longitudinal plate 4 through a hinge shaft 6, and the rotation axis is the intersection line of the front side surface of the rear longitudinal plate 4 and the inner side surface of the rear folding plate 520. Since the opposite side edges of the front folding plate 510 and the rear folding plate 520 abut against each other, the front folding plate 510 and the rear folding plate 520 can only be folded towards the internal space surrounded by the front longitudinal plate 3 and the rear longitudinal plate 4. Therefore, the angle between the front folding plate 510 and the front longitudinal plate 3 is less than or equal to 90°, and the angle between the rear folding plate 520 and the rear longitudinal plate 4 is also less than or equal to 90°. After the pet cage is folded, the front longitudinal plate 3, the front folding plate 510, the rear folding plate 520 and the rear longitudinal plate 4 can be parallel to each other, so that the surfaces are in close contact.
[0031] The upper cover 1, the lower support plate 2, the front longitudinal plate 3, the rear longitudinal plate 4, the front folding plate 510 and the rear folding plate 520 are all made of high-strength stainless steel material, which is durable, not easy to deform and damage. The upper cover 1, the lower support plate 2, the front longitudinal plate 3, the rear longitudinal plate 4, the front folding plate 510 and the rear folding plate 520 are all provided with mesh structures penetrating the inner and outer side surfaces, which ensure the air permeability and light transmittance of the pet cage.
[0032] Working principle: in the initial state, the front and rear folding plates 510 and 520 are folded between the front and rear longitudinal plates 3 and 4, the middle hinge of the two folding plates 5 are in close contact, the upper cover 1 is in close contact with the rear longitudinal plate 4, and the lower supporting plate 2 is in close contact with the front longitudinal plate 3, so that the pet cage in the folded state has a five-layer plate structure, which is the upper cover 1, the rear longitudinal plate 4, the rear folding plate 520, the front folding plate 510, the front longitudinal plate 3 and the lower supporting plate 2 in turn, and the surfaces of these plate parts are in close contact without gaps, and the edges will not be raised; when used for the first time, first pull apart the front and rear longitudinal plates 3 and 4, and then straighten the two folding plates 5, then turn the lower supporting plate 2 270° from front to back to the horizontal position, and then place it on the ground, that is, the pet can be placed in the pet cage with the open upper end, then turn the upper cover 1 270° from back to front to cover the open upper end of the pet cage, finally, lock the lock head at each set of matched plug-in lock plate and limiting plate, and keep the keys separately, which can achieve good anti-theft effect. Since the material structure of the pet cage has high strength, it is almost impossible to open it with only hands without the key.
[0033] The above describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present application is not limited to the above examples, the above examples and descriptions are only the principles of the present application, and various changes and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, which fall within the scope of the claimed present application. The scope of protection claimed by the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
