Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet cage technology, and in particular to a one-click folding pet cage. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the pet market has also flourished. Many citizens enjoy keeping small animals such as cats, dogs, or turtles, and some pets have become loyal companions to humans. The advancement of urbanization has led to more people living in apartments; however, compared to yards, apartments have limited space, making it difficult to dedicate an area specifically for keeping pets, and pet cages are usually provided.

[0003] For example, patent application number CN201810785548.X discloses a multi-purpose, multi-functional folding cage, mainly comprising: a top panel, a bottom panel, a left panel with a left door, a right panel, a front panel with a front door, a rear panel, and a sandwich panel. The tray on the bottom panel is used to collect pet urine and waste and to hold the top panel, greatly reducing the thickness of the multi-purpose, multi-functional folding cage when folded. This invention designs the top panel and sandwich panel to be multi-functional and multi-purpose, allowing users to enjoy the fun of DIYing their own cage. Moreover, when a user purchases a cage of this invention, they simultaneously own a multi-purpose cage and a multi-purpose puppy enclosure.

[0004] Patent application CN201520928394.7 also discloses a pet cage folding device, which includes: a base frame tube welding assembly and a side tube welding assembly, which are connected together by fasteners; the side tube welding assembly includes a left welding tube and a right welding tube, with left support tubes respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the left welding tube, and right support tubes respectively provided at the front and rear ends of the right welding tube, and the left and right support tubes are connected and supported together by support sleeves to form a frame. This pet cage has the advantages of low manufacturing cost, simple and easy folding, and convenient carrying. The above-mentioned pet cages all adopt a split design for easy carrying, but because the various support tubes and front and rear clips on the folding parts are too scattered, the entire cage will fall apart after the fasteners are released from locking the left and right support tubes or the front and rear clips, and the parts will be messy and scattered, which not only affects carrying, but also often takes a lot of time to unfold, and the convenience needs to be improved.

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, this embodiment proposes a one-click folding pet cage, including:

[0045] The cage frame for hanging the cage cloth includes two surrounding tubes 1, which are parallel vertically.

[0046] Two scissor bar brackets 2 are rotatably mounted between two surrounding pipes 1. The upper end of the scissor bar bracket 2 is hinged to the surrounding pipe 1, and the lower end of the scissor bar bracket 2 is hinged to the other surrounding pipe 1.

[0047] Two one-button unlocking devices 3 are respectively installed on two scissor lift brackets 2. The one-button unlocking devices 3 include an open state and a locked state:

[0048] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 :

[0049] In the open state, the two one-button unlocking devices 3 support the folding or unfolding of the scissor bar bracket 2. In the locked state, the two one-button unlocking devices 3 are used to lock the folded or unfolded scissor bar bracket 2.

[0050] The pet cage features a foldable design, saving space and making it easy to carry. It opens and closes with a single button, offering convenient and flexible operation. It's important to note that both one-button unlocking devices 3 must be unlocked simultaneously to ensure the cage can unfold and fold properly. This design effectively reduces the risk of accidental activation.

[0051] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 :

[0052] The scissor lift bracket 2 includes a first connecting plate 21 and a second connecting plate 22, which are arranged crosswise and are hinged together by a cylindrical pin 25.

[0053] The upper end of the first connecting plate 21 is hinged to the surrounding tube 1, and the lower end of the first connecting plate 21 is provided with a first connecting plate 23. The first connecting plate 23 is hinged to the first connecting plate 21, and the end of the first connecting plate 23 away from the first connecting plate 21 is hinged to another surrounding tube 1.

[0054] The upper end of the second connecting plate 22 is provided with a second connecting plate 24, which is hinged to the second connecting plate 22. The end of the second connecting plate 24 away from the second connecting plate 22 is hinged to the surrounding pipe 1, and the lower end of the second connecting plate 22 is hinged to another surrounding pipe 1.

[0055] The cylindrical pin 25 is located at the intersection of the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22. The first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 will rotate around the cylindrical pin 25. The first connecting plate 23 and the second connecting plate 24 serve as intermediate transition parts, allowing the scissor lever bracket 2 to achieve more flexible movement through the double hinge points during the folding and unfolding process. This can compensate for minor misalignment caused by manufacturing tolerances or installation deviations in the scissor mechanism, reduce movement jamming, and improve the smoothness of folding and unfolding.

[0056] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 :

[0057] It is worth explaining in detail that the one-button unlocking device 3 includes a first fixing seat 31 and a second fixing seat 32. The first fixing seat 31 is detachably connected to the side of the first connecting plate 21 away from the second connecting plate 22, and the second fixing seat 32 is detachably connected to the side of the second connecting plate 22 away from the first connecting plate 21. A plug-in locking switch is slidably provided on the outer side of the second fixing seat 32.

[0058] A check block 314 is provided on the outer side of the first fixed seat 31. The check block 314 is fixedly connected to the first fixed seat 31. A locking groove 313 that cooperates with the plug-in locking switch is provided on the check block 314. A check groove 315 that cooperates with the plug-in locking switch is formed between the check block 314 and the first fixed seat 31.

[0059] The first fixing seat 31 is fixed to the first connecting plate 21, and the second fixing seat 32 is fixed to the second connecting plate 22. When the pet cage is unfolded, the plug-in locking switch on the first fixing seat 31 will engage in the locking groove 313 on the check block 314, thereby restricting the rotation of the first fixing seat 31 and the second fixing seat 32 and locking the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22. When the pet cage is fully folded, the check block 314 will be misaligned with the plug-in locking switch, and the plug-in locking switch on the first fixing seat 31 will engage in the check groove 315 formed between the check block 314 and the first fixing seat 31, thereby restricting the rotation of the first fixing seat 31 and the second fixing seat 32 and locking the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22.

[0060] Specifically, pluggable locking switches include:

[0061] The slide 321 is formed on the side of the second fixed seat 32 away from the second connecting plate 22;

[0062] The pin 322 is slidably disposed inside the slide groove 321, and the slide groove 321 is provided with a spring return member for supporting the pin 322.

[0063] The positioning boss 329 is located at the end of the slide groove 321 away from the second fixed seat 32. The positioning boss 329 is fixedly connected to the pin 322. The positioning boss 329 engages with the locking groove 313 and the anti-return groove 315.

[0064] Under the pull of the spring return element, the pin 322 retracts into the slide groove 321. After the scissor bar bracket 2 is fully extended, the positioning boss 329 at the end of the pin 322 engages in the locking groove 313 on the check block 314. When the scissor bar bracket 2 is fully folded, the positioning boss 329 engages in the check groove 315 between the check block 314 and the first fixing seat 31, locking the pet cage. When opened with one button, pull the left and right pins 322 upwards simultaneously, separating the first fixing seat 31 from the second fixing seat 32, releasing the lock. Pressing the upper enclosure tube 1 will fold it downwards and retract it, while pulling the upper enclosure tube 1 will unfold it upwards.

[0065] It is worth noting in detail that the spring reset component includes a spring groove 323, a limiting part 324, and two springs 325. The spring groove 323 is formed inside the slide groove 321. The limiting part 324 is fixedly disposed on the left and right sides of the pin 322, and the limiting part 324 is slidably connected to the spring groove 323. The springs 325 are placed in the gap between the limiting part 324 and the spring groove 323. The second fixing seat 32 has a fixing cover 33 on the side away from the second connecting plate 22. The fixing cover 33 is detachably connected to the second fixing seat 32. The limiting part 324 is assembled in the gap between the limiting part 324 and the spring groove 323, and is mainly used for the reset of the pin 322. The fixing cover 33 fixes the pin 322 and the limiting part 324 on the second fixing seat 32.

[0066] Specifically, the fixed cover 33 has a buckle 331 on the side near the second fixed base 32. The buckle 331 is fixedly connected to the fixed cover 33 and engages with the slot 326 inside the slide groove 321. A connecting hole 332 is provided at the corner of the fixed cover 33, and a pin is fitted into the connecting hole 332. The connecting hole 332 engages with the connecting hole on the outside of the second fixed base 32 via a rivet. The fixed cover 33 is fixed to the second fixed base 32 in a detachable manner. When replacing the pin 322 and the limiting part 324 on the second fixed base 32, the fixing between the fixed cover 33 and the second fixed base 32 can be released. When connected, the buckle 331 on the fixed cover 33 engages with the slot 326 inside the pin 322, thus positioning the fixed cover 33.

[0067] For the connection between the first fixed base 31 and the first connecting plate 21, please refer to the following description:

[0068] The first mounting base 31 has a first mounting groove 311 on the side facing the first connecting plate 21. At least two rivets A312 are provided in the first mounting groove 311. The first mounting groove 311 engages with the first connecting plate 21, and the rivets A312 cooperate with the mounting holes 26 on the outer side of the first connecting plate 21. After the first mounting base 31 is engaged with the first connecting plate 21, the first mounting base 31 and the first connecting plate 21 are fixed and locked together by the rivets A312.

[0069] For the connection between the second fixed base 32 and the second connecting plate 22, please refer to the following instructions:

[0070] The second mounting base 32 has a second mounting groove 327 on the side facing the second connecting plate 22. At least two rivets B328 are provided in the second mounting groove 327. The second mounting groove 327 engages with the second connecting plate 22, and the rivets B328 cooperate with mounting holes 26 on the outer side of the second connecting plate 22. Similarly, after the second mounting base 32 is engaged on the second connecting plate 22, the second mounting base 32 and the second connecting plate 22 are fixed and locked together by the rivets B328.

[0071] In addition, through holes for cooperating with the rotation of the cylindrical pin 25 are provided on the inner side of the first fixed seat 31 and the inner side of the second fixed seat 32.

[0072] How this application works:

[0073] When the pet cage is unfolded, the plug-in locking switch on the first fixing seat 31 engages in the locking groove 313 on the check block 314, locking the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22 by restricting the rotation of the first fixing seat 31 and the second fixing seat 32. When the pet cage is fully folded, the check block 314 is disengaged from the plug-in locking switch, and the plug-in locking switch on the first fixing seat 31 engages in the check groove 315 formed between the check block 314 and the first fixing seat 31, thereby restricting the rotation of the first fixing seat 31 and the second fixing seat 32, and locking the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22. When opened with one button, pull out the left and right pins 322 simultaneously upwards, separating the first fixing seat 31 and the second fixing seat 32, releasing the lock, pressing the upper enclosure tube 1 will fold it downwards and retract it, and pulling the upper enclosure tube 1 will unfold it upwards.
