[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet basket technology, specifically to a pet basket that can be folded up with one click. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, the number of pet lovers is also increasing. They enjoy taking their pets out or on road trips, and pet baskets are undoubtedly the best tool for placing pets when out and about. They eliminate worries about pets running around, ensuring their safety and comfort without disturbing others. Pet baskets can be carried by hand or placed on a pet stroller for easy portability.
[0003] However, existing pet baskets on the market have complex structures, take a long time to open and close, and are difficult to open or close quickly, affecting the user experience.
[0004] This utility model was made based on the above circumstances. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a pet basket that can be opened and closed with one click. This pet basket has a simple structure, can be opened and closed quickly, and is easy to operate.
[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A pet basket with one-click folding includes an upper tube and a lower tube. Two brackets are provided between the upper and lower tubes, which are hinged in the middle and intersect in an "X" shape. Each bracket has one end at the top and bottom of its front side respectively hinged to the upper and lower tubes, and one end at the top and bottom of its rear side respectively slidably connected to the upper and lower tubes. A positioning pin is movably provided on the lower tube. A sliding component is correspondingly hinged to the lower rear end of the bracket, which can slide back and forth along the lower tube and is locked by the positioning pin. The lower tube is provided with an unlocking device to release the two sliding components and their corresponding positioning pins from locking.
[0008] As described above, the pet basket with one-click folding has a limiting groove on the sliding component that is adapted to the positioning pin.
[0009] As described above, the one-click folding pet basket has a fixed seat on the lower circumference tube, and the positioning pin is movably mounted on the fixed seat. An elastic element for pushing out the positioning pin is provided between the fixed seat and the positioning pin.
[0010] As described above, the one-button folding pet basket includes a locking seat fixed to the lower enclosure tube, an unlocking plate buckle movably disposed on the locking seat, and a rigid rope disposed between the unlocking plate buckle and the positioning pin. When the unlocking plate buckle is pressed, the rigid rope drives the positioning pin to disengage from the limiting groove.
[0011] In the pet basket described above with one-click folding, both the fixing base and the rigid rope are located inside the lower enclosure tube.
[0012] In the pet basket described above with one-click folding, the sliding component is a sliding sleeve fitted onto the outer tube of the lower enclosure tube.
[0013] As described above, the one-click folding pet basket has a sloping surface that slopes downwards from front to back on the positioning pin. The front end of the sliding component has a corresponding groove that matches the sloping surface. When the sliding component moves forward, the groove can abut against the sloping surface of the positioning pin and press the positioning pin down.
[0014] As described above, the one-click folding pet basket has a limiting block fixed to the lower circumference tube, which abuts against the front end of the sliding component when the positioning pin is engaged in the limiting groove.
[0015] As described above, the pet basket with one-click folding has a base fixedly attached to the lower circumference tube.
[0016] As described above, the pet basket with one-click folding has a handle on the upper tube for pulling the upper tube upward.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0018] 1. The pet basket of this utility model with one-click folding has a simple structure, can be quickly opened and closed, is easy to operate, and saves time in folding.
[0019] 2. In this utility model, two "X"-shaped brackets arranged opposite each other between the upper and lower enclosure tubes support the upper and lower enclosure tubes. The front side of the brackets is hinged to the upper and lower enclosure tubes and cannot move back and forth. The two ends of the rear side can move back and forth on the upper and lower enclosure tubes respectively. A sliding component is provided at the lower end of the rear side. A positioning pin movably provided on the lower enclosure tube can extend and press against the sliding component to lock it and support the upper and lower enclosure tubes. The lower enclosure tube is provided with an unlocking device. When the unlocking device is pressed, the sliding component and its corresponding positioning pin are unlocked. The sliding component at the rear end of the "X"-shaped brackets automatically moves backward under the gravity of the upper enclosure tube and the brackets, so that the upper and lower enclosure tubes of the pet basket can be easily closed. The operation is simple and convenient.
[0020] 3. In this utility model, the positioning pin has a downward inclined surface from front to back, and the front end of the sliding component has a corresponding inclined groove that matches the inclined surface. When the sliding component moves forward, the positioning pin automatically retracts downward, so that when the limiting groove on the sliding component coincides with the positioning pin, the positioning pin automatically pops out and locks into the limiting groove, thus locking the bracket without pressing any button.

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain the present utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a one-click folding pet basket includes an upper tube 1 and a lower tube 2. Two brackets 3, hinged at the center and intersecting in an "X" shape, are provided between the upper and lower tubes 1 and 2. Each bracket 3 has one end hinged to the upper tube 1 and the lower tube 2 at its front upper and lower ends, respectively, and one end slidably connected to the upper tube 1 and the lower tube 2 at its rear upper and lower ends, respectively. A positioning pin 5 is movably provided on the lower tube 2. A sliding component 4, which can slide back and forth along the lower tube 2 and is locked by the positioning pin 5, is correspondingly hinged to the lower rear lower end of the bracket 3. An unlocking device 6 is provided on the lower tube 2 to release the two sliding components 4 from their corresponding positioning pins 5. Similarly, the sliding component 4, positioning pin 5, and unlocking device 6 of this invention can also be simultaneously provided on the upper tube 1.
[0028] This utility model of a one-button folding pet basket has a simple structure, allowing for quick opening and closing. It is easy to operate, can be done with one hand, and saves time and effort required to fold the enclosure. Two "X"-shaped supports 3, positioned opposite each other between the upper and lower enclosure tubes 1 and 2, support the upper and lower enclosure tubes. The front of each support 3 is hinged to the upper and lower enclosure tubes and cannot move forward or backward. The two ends of the rear support 3 move forward and backward on the upper and lower enclosure tubes 1 and 2 respectively. A sliding component 4 is located at the lower rear end. A positioning pin 5, movable on the lower enclosure tube 2, extends to press against the sliding component 4, locking it and supporting the upper and lower enclosure tubes. The lower enclosure tube 2 also has an unlocking device 6. When the unlocking device 6 is pressed, the sliding component 4 unlocks from its corresponding positioning pin 5. Under the weight of the upper enclosure tube 1 and the support 3, the sliding component 4 at the rear end of the "X"-shaped support 3 automatically moves backward, easily closing the upper and lower enclosure tubes 1 and 2 of the pet basket.
[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 2-4 As shown, in this utility model, the sliding component 4 is provided with a limiting groove 41 that matches the positioning pin 5. The positioning pin 5 is engaged in the limiting groove 41 to fix the sliding component 4 to the lower casing 2, thereby firmly fixing the "X"-shaped bracket 3.
[0030] In this invention, a fixed seat 7 is provided on the lower casing 2, and a positioning pin 5 is movably mounted on the fixed seat 7. An elastic element 8 is provided between the fixed seat 7 and the positioning pin 5 to push out the positioning pin 5. In this embodiment, the elastic element 8 is a spring.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the unlocking device 6 of this utility model includes a lock seat 61 fixed on the lower enclosure tube 2, an unlocking plate buckle 62 movably disposed on the lock seat 61, and a rigid rope 63 disposed between the unlocking plate buckle 62 and the positioning pin 5. When the unlocking plate buckle 62 is pulled, the rigid rope 63 drives the positioning pin 5 to disengage from the limiting groove 41. In practical applications, the rigid rope 63 is generally made of steel wire rope. When the plate buckle 62 is pressed, the plate buckle 62 drives the two rigid ropes 63 fixed to it to move, causing the positioning pins 5 on the left and right sides to move down and disengage from the corresponding limiting grooves 41. This releases the positioning pins 5 on the left and right sides from the limiting of the sliding component 4 with one click, allowing the sliding component 4 to move backward, and the upper enclosure tube 1 will retract downward, quickly closing the fence.
[0032] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, both the fixing base 7 and the rigid rope 63 are located inside the lower enclosure tube 2. This saves space and maintains the overall aesthetics of the fence. Specifically, as... Figure 1-4 In this embodiment of the invention, the sliding component 4 is a sliding sleeve fitted onto the outer tube of the lower casing 2. The sliding sleeve slides on the outer tube of the lower casing 2, eliminating the need for additional slide rails or grooves. The sliding sleeve can be made of metal or plastic.
[0033] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the positioning pin 5 has a downward-sloping surface 51, and the front end of the sliding component 4 has a corresponding inclined groove 42 that matches the inclined surface 51. When the sliding component 4 moves forward, the inclined groove 42 on the sliding component 4 can abut against the inclined surface 51 of the positioning pin 5 and press the positioning pin 5 down. In this way, the bracket 3 can be locked without pressing any button when the fence is unfolded. Since the sliding component 4 has an inclined groove 42 and the positioning pin 5 has an inclined surface 51 in this embodiment, it is only necessary to lift the upper enclosure tube 1 upward. The inclined groove 42 on the sliding component 4 and the inclined surface 51 of the positioning pin 5 come into contact, causing the positioning pin 5 to automatically retract downward. When the limiting groove 41 on the sliding component 4 coincides with the positioning pin 5, the positioning pin 5 automatically pops out and locks into the limiting groove 41, so that the sliding component 4 cannot move, thereby locking the "X"-shaped bracket 3 to support the upper enclosure tube 1.
[0034] Furthermore, a limiting block 9 is fixedly connected to the lower casing 2 to abut against the front end of the sliding component 4 when the positioning pin 5 is engaged in the limiting groove 41. This prevents the sliding component 4 from accidentally sliding past the positioning pin 5 and continuing to slide forward, and better positions the positioning pin 5 in the limiting groove 41 on the sliding component 4.
[0035] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a base 10 is fixedly connected to the lower casing 2 in this utility model. Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting notch 101 is formed on the base 10 that is recessed relative to the lower surrounding tube 2. The sliding component 4 slides back and forth along the lower surrounding tube 2 within the limiting notch 101. The limiting block 9 is a stop block at the front end of the notch 101 on the base 10.
[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper casing 1 is provided with a handle 11 for pulling the upper casing 1 upward. When the handle 11 is pulled up to move the upper casing 1 upward, one end of the "X"-shaped bracket 3 at the upper and lower rear sides slides forward along the upper casing 1 and the lower casing 2 respectively, until the sliding part 4 at the lower rear side of the bracket 3 is locked by the positioning pin 5, thus the pet basket of this utility model can be easily opened. Generally, the handle 11 is rotatably connected to the upper casing 1, and the upper casing 1 is also rotatably connected to a canopy tube 12 for installing a mosquito net or sunshade tent. The number of canopy tubes 12 is generally at least 3, which can serve to support and fix the mosquito net or sunshade tent.
