Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet supplies technology, and in particular to a pet cage that is easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] A pet cage is an enclosed container used to house, transport, or temporarily isolate pets. It is typically made of metal, plastic, or wood. Commonly found in homes, pet stores, and veterinary clinics, it is designed to provide a safe and comfortable space for pets while allowing owners to easily manage and move them.

[0003] In existing technologies, to facilitate placing or retrieving pets in cages, the top frame of pet cages is typically designed to be flip-open. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN202059849U, entitled "Modular Pet Cage," discloses a cage body comprising a front frame, a rear frame, a left frame, a right frame, a top frame, and a bottom frame. The top frame is hinged to a square frame component on the top surface of the cage body; specifically, the left square frame component of the top frame is hinged to the upper square frame component of the left frame.

[0004] However, the existing technology still has the following drawbacks:

[0005] 1. Existing pet cages either connect the top frame to the cage frame via hinges that require tools for disassembly and assembly, or they are simply fitted onto the cage frame without any hinges. However, if the top frame is hinged to the cage frame, tools are needed for disassembly and assembly, making the assembly process cumbersome and inconvenient for replacing and maintaining the top frame. If the top frame is simply fitted onto the cage frame without hinges, the opened top frame needs to be removed and placed on the ground, resulting in a high workload.

[0006] In addition, when the top frame of the existing pet cage is closed with the cage frame, the top frame is supported only by the top of the cage frame, so that the top frame and the cage frame are stacked. The entire top frame is exposed on the top of the cage frame. Therefore, the stacking assembly method of the top frame and the cage frame undoubtedly increases the height and size of the pet cage, occupies more space, affects the aesthetics, and is not conducive to market promotion.

[0007] 2. During the use of pet cages, pets often run around in the cages. After the top frame is closed on the cage frame, there are no limiting measures on all four sides, resulting in low stability of the closing. After long-term and repeated closing operations of the top frame, the closing between the top frame and the cage frame will become loose and misaligned, which can easily wear down the hinge parts. Utility Model Content

[0008] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pet cage that is easy to install.

[0009] The purpose of this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a pet cage that is easy to install, including a bottom frame, a top plate, and a frame assembly for surrounding the pet cage. The bottom frame is connected to the lower part of the frame assembly, and the top plate is connected to the upper part of the frame assembly. A first mounting hole is provided on the side of the top plate, and a second mounting hole is provided on the frame assembly. A hinge component is provided between the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole. The hinge component is detachably and fastened to the second mounting hole, and the hinge component is movably connected to the first mounting hole, so that the top plate is hinged to the frame assembly through the hinge component, and after the top plate can be flipped over and covered on the upper part of the frame assembly, the surface of the top plate is flush with the top of the frame assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, the frame assembly has a front frame, a rear frame, and left and right frames. The front frame and the rear frame are respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the left and right frames. The rear frame or the left and right frames are provided with a hinge seat on the side connected to the rear frame. The hinge seat is provided with the second mounting hole so that the top plate is hinged to the hinge seat through the hinge component.

[0011] Furthermore, the frame assembly has a front frame, a rear frame, and left and right frames. The front frame and the rear frame are respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the left and right frames. The left and right frames have a first side frame and a second side frame. The opposing sides of the first side frame and the second side frame are hinged to each other, and the opposing sides of the first side frame and the second side frame are respectively hinged to the front frame and the rear frame, so that the front frame and the rear frame are folded together by the hinge of the first side frame and the second side frame of the left and right frames and move closer to each other, or the front frame and the rear frame are unfolded together by the hinge of the first side frame and the second side frame of the left and right frames and move away from each other.

[0012] Furthermore, the rear frame is provided with a hinge seat, and the rear frame is also provided with a rotating plate extending along the hinge seat and the direction of the first side frame and / or the second side frame, wherein the back side of the first side frame and the second side frame is hinged to the rotating plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the top plate is provided with edge protection tubes around its four sides. After the top plate can be flipped over and covered on the upper part of the frame assembly, the front frame, rear frame, and left and right frames are respectively aligned with the edge protection tubes of the top plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner sides of the first side frame and the second side frame are provided with support seats for supporting the top plate when it is flipped downwards to the horizontal direction.

[0015] Furthermore, the top plate is provided with positioning holes, and the support base is provided with positioning components that cooperate with the positioning holes and position the top plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the front frame is provided with a rotating baffle for pressing against the surface of the top plate that flips down and covers the side frame.

[0017] Furthermore, a door frame assembly is provided on the front frame, the hinge side of the door frame assembly is hinged to the front frame, and the door opening side of the door frame assembly is provided with a door lock plate and is locked to a pin on the front frame through the door lock plate.

[0018] Furthermore, a third mounting hole is provided on the hinge side of the bottom frame, and a hinge component is provided between the third mounting hole and the second mounting hole at the bottom of the frame assembly; the hinge component is detachably and fastened to the second mounting hole at the bottom of the frame assembly, and the hinge component is movably connected to the third mounting hole, so that the bottom frame is hinged to the frame assembly through the hinge component, and after the bottom frame can be flipped over and covered under the frame assembly, the surface of the bottom frame is flush with the bottom of the frame assembly.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] (1) In this embodiment, a first mounting hole is provided on the top plate, a second mounting hole is provided on the rear frame, and a hinge component is used to hinge the top plate, thereby allowing the top plate to flip around the axis of the hinge component and cover the frame. Moreover, the assembly of the hinge component with the first and second mounting holes does not require tools. The top plate can be installed and removed by hand by twisting the hinge component. This solves the problem that tools are required for disassembly and assembly when the top frame of the pet cage is hinged. It improves the convenience of replacing and maintaining the top plate and reduces the workload of opening and closing the top plate when taking pets out. When the top plate is closed, its surface is flush with the top of the frame, reducing the overall height. Compared with the previous stacked structure of the top frame and the frame, the height is reduced by 10% to 20%, making the structure of the pet cage more compact and improving aesthetics and space utilization.

[0021] (2) By setting the edge tubes around the top plate and aligning them with the frames of the frame, the stability of the top plate covering the upper part of the frame is enhanced, avoiding misalignment and loosening after long-term use and wear of the hinge parts, thus improving the service life of the hinge parts.

[0022] (3) Support seats are respectively provided on the inner sides of the first side frame and the second side frame of the left and right frames, so that the upper surface of the support seat contacts the lower surface of the top plate when it is closed to a horizontal state. In this way, the top plate embedded in the inner side of the frame is supported by the support seat, and the top plate is flush with the upper part of the frame after being closed, and the top plate is prevented from sagging due to its own weight. In addition, the positioning pin on the support seat and the positioning hole of the edge tube are used for positioning, and the locking pin positioning of the top plate in the horizontal closed state is realized, which further improves the stability of the top plate and the frame.

[0039] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0040] like Figure 1-10 As shown, an easy-to-install pet cage can be used to accommodate, transport, or temporarily isolate pets. The pet cage includes a bottom frame 30, a top plate 10, and a frame assembly 20 composed of a front frame 201, a rear frame 202, and left and right frames 203. The top plate 10 is located on the upper part of the frame assembly 20 and can be made of wood or metal. The bottom frame 30 is located on the lower part of the frame assembly 20. The front frame 201 and the rear frame 202 are respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the left and right frames 203.

[0041] The top plate 10 is quickly hinged to the frame assembly 20 via a hinge component 40. More specifically, a first mounting hole 111 is provided on the side of the top plate 10, and a hinge seat 2021 is welded to the upper part of the rear frame 202 of the frame, with a second mounting hole 20211 provided on the hinge seat 2021. The hinge component 40 used in this embodiment can be a connecting component such as a wing bolt or screw. When the top plate 10 is installed on the upper part of the frame assembly 20, the hinge component 40 is passed through the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 20211 in sequence.

[0042] The diameter of the first mounting hole 111 is larger than the diameter of the hinge component 40, and the connection end between the hinge component 40 and the first mounting hole 111 is smoothly provided. This allows the top plate 10 to rotate around the axis of the hinge component 40. The rotatable design of the top plate 10 allows it to rotate downwards to cover the frame assembly 20, and the top plate 10 to be embedded in the upper part of the frame assembly 20 until its surface is flush with the top of the frame assembly 20. The second mounting hole 20211 is a threaded hole or a hole with a screw-in snap-fit ​​structure. The connection end between the hinge component 40 and the second mounting hole 20211 is correspondingly provided with threads or a screw-in snap-fit, so that the hinge component 40 and the second mounting hole 20211 form a detachable and fastened connection.

[0043] Therefore, by setting a first mounting hole 111 on the top plate 10, setting a second mounting hole 20211 on the rear frame 202, and using a hinge component 40 for hinge connection, the top plate 10 can be flipped around the axis of the hinge component 40 and covered onto the frame. Moreover, the assembly of the hinge component 40 with the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole 20211 does not require tools. The installation and removal of the top plate 10 can be achieved by hand by twisting the hinge component 40. This solves the problem of requiring tools for disassembly and assembly when the top frame of the pet cage is hinged, improves the convenience of replacing and maintaining the top plate 10, and reduces the workload of opening and closing the top plate 10 when taking pets out and putting them in. When the top plate 10 is closed, its surface is flush with the top of the frame, reducing the overall height. Compared with the previous stacked structure of the top frame and the frame, the height is reduced by 10% to 20%, making the structure of the pet cage more compact and improving aesthetics and space utilization.

[0044] The top plate 10 is surrounded by welded edge tubes 11. The diameter of the edge tubes 11 can be selected according to actual needs. For example, the diameter of the edge tubes 11 can match the diameters of the front frame 201, rear frame 202, and left and right frames 203. After the top plate 10 is fitted onto the upper part of the frame assembly 20, the top plate 10 and the edge tubes 11 are nested inside the frame. The edge tubes 11 around the top plate 10 can be aligned with the front frame 201, rear frame 202, and left and right frames 203 respectively, thereby limiting the position of the top plate 10 around its perimeter. Therefore, by aligning the edge tubes 11 with the frames of the frame, the stability of the top plate 10 on the upper part of the frame is enhanced, avoiding misalignment and loosening after long-term use and wear on the hinge parts, thus improving the service life of the hinge components 40.

[0045] In addition, a rotating baffle 2011 is provided on the front frame 201, with a rubber pressure block at the end of the baffle. After the top plate 10 is closed, the user can rotate the rotating baffle 2011 to press it firmly against the surface of the edge tube 11, preventing the top plate 10 from shaking through friction. In this way, the pressing design of the rotating baffle 2011 further suppresses the displacement of the top plate 10 and reduces the wear risk of the hinge component 40.

[0046] The left and right frames 203 each have a first side frame 2031 and a second side frame 2032, meaning that both the left and right frames are divided into a first side frame 2031 and a second side frame 2032, and the first side frame 2031 and the second side frame 2032 are hinged to each other. The front frame 201, the rear frame 202, and the hinge seat 2021 are provided with rotating connecting plates 2022 extending toward the first side frame 2031 and / or the second side frame 2032, so the back ends of the first side frame 2031 and the second side frame 2032 are respectively hinged to the rotating connecting plates 2022, and thus to the front frame 201 and the rear frame 202.

[0047] Therefore, the folding function is achieved through the hinge between the first side frame 2031 and the second side frame 2032. When the left and right frames 203 are folded, the front frame 201 and the rear frame 202 move towards each other, and the left and right frames 203 are folded together. This reduces the overall volume to at least 1 / 5 of the unfolded state, making it easier to transport and store, and solving the problem of large space occupation by traditional fixed frames. In addition, rotating connecting plates 2022 are set on the front frame 201 and the rear frame 202, which are hinged to the first side frame 2031 and the second side frame 2032 to ensure that the frames move synchronously during the folding process and avoid structural interference.

[0048] L-shaped support seats 2033 are welded to the inner sides of the first side frame 2031 and the second side frame 2032 of the left and right frames 203 respectively. The front frame 201 is also provided with a plate-shaped support seat 2033. The upper surface of the support seat 2033 contacts the lower surface of the top plate 10 when it is closed to a horizontal state. In this way, the support seat 2033 supports the top plate 10 embedded in the inner side of the frame and ensures that the top plate 10 is flush with the upper part of the frame after it is closed.

[0049] In addition, the support base 2033 is also equipped with a positioning pin 2034, and the edge protection tubes 11 around the top plate 10 have corresponding positioning holes 112. When the top plate 10 is flipped down to a horizontal position, the positioning pin 2034 engages with the positioning hole 112 to position the top plate 10 and the edge protection tubes 11. Therefore, the support base 2033 provides support force to prevent the top plate 10 from sagging due to its own weight; and the positioning pin 2034 achieves the locking and positioning of the top plate 10 in the horizontal closed state, further improving the stability of the top plate 10 and the frame.

[0050] A door frame assembly 50 is integrated on the front frame 201. This assembly includes a door frame and a grille, with the grille embedded within the door frame. The hinged side of the door frame is hinged to the front frame 201 via hinges. A door lock plate 501 is provided on the opening / closing side of the door frame. A profile tube is provided on the front frame 201 at the corresponding installation position of the door frame, and a pin 2012 is installed on the profile tube. When the door frame is closed, the door lock plate 501 engages with the pin 2012, locking the door frame. Therefore, the integrated design of the door frame and grille in the door frame assembly 50 enhances structural strength, and the cooperation between the door lock plate 501 and the pin 2012 provides reliable locking of the door frame assembly 50, preventing pets from pushing open the door frame assembly 50 and escaping.

[0051] A third mounting hole 301 is provided on the side of the bottom frame 30, and a hinge seat 2021 is also provided on the lower part of the rear frame 202, with a second mounting hole 20211 provided at the corresponding position. The third mounting hole 301 and the fourth mounting hole are both provided with hinge components 40, so that the bottom frame 30 can be rotated around the axis of the hinge component 40 to realize the hinge between the bottom frame 30 and the rear frame 202.

[0052] When it is necessary to fold the left and right frames 203, first flip the bottom frame 30 upward to the inside of the rear frame 202, and then fold the left and right frames 203. After unfolding the left and right frames 203, flip the bottom frame 30 downward. The frame assembly 20 is provided with a support plate 302 for supporting the bottom frame 30. After the bottom frame 30 is flipped downward to a horizontal state, it can be supported by the support plate 302. At this time, the upper and lower surfaces of the bottom frame 30 are flush with the top and bottom of the frame.

[0053] Therefore, the bottom frame 30, top plate 10 and rear frame 202 adopt a quick disassembly and assembly design to simplify the assembly process; the flush structure design of the bottom frame 30 and the side frame reduces the bottom protrusion and avoids the pet cage from shaking when placed.

[0054] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
