Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to pet breeding equipment, and more particularly to a pet stacking cage. Background Technology

[0002] Most pet cages currently used for raising hamsters and other pets are single-cell structures, with a closed bottom and an open top, and a lid. While single-cell cages are convenient to move and use, their small and fixed internal volume restricts the space available for the pet to rest and move around, making it difficult to arrange play equipment and hindering the pet's normal activity and rest. Furthermore, the fixed size of the single-cell structure makes it difficult to match the cage to the available space, resulting in a lack of harmony and reducing the aesthetic appeal of the environment. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a pet stacking cage with adjustable internal volume, minimal restriction on pet rest and activity, and convenient matching of the pet cage with the placement space.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a pet stacking cage, including cage bodies that can be stacked one on top of the other, the bottom of the cage body is provided with a lower locking structure, the top of the cage body is provided with an upper locking structure for cooperating with the lower locking structure on the upper stacked cage body for locking; the left and right sides of the cage body are respectively provided with connecting holes for connecting feeding devices or adjacent cage bodies.

[0005] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the lower locking structure includes a locking protrusion that protrudes outward from the bottom of the cage body, and a snap-fit ​​edge that extends downward from the bottom periphery of the cage body.

[0006] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the upper locking structure includes a snap-fit ​​step provided on the inner side of the top periphery of the cage body, which engages with the snap-fit ​​edge, and a locking buckle that can lock the locking protrusion is also hinged to the top of the cage body.

[0007] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the feeding device includes an upper inner half shell, the inner side of which is connected to a connecting pipe. The connecting pipe can be inserted into a connecting hole and fixedly connected to the cage body. The lower side of the upper inner half shell is detachably connected to the lower shell. An upper outer half shell is hinged to the outer side of the upper inner half shell and can be fastened to the outside of the lower shell. The upper inner half shell, the upper outer half shell, and the lower shell constitute the feeding shell. A clamping device is provided between the outer ends of the upper outer half shell and the lower shell.

[0008] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a resting platform is placed at the bottom of the cage, a water trough is recessed at the top of the resting platform, a hiding room is recessed at the bottom of the resting platform, the hiding room is provided with an entrance and exit, and a step is provided on one side of the resting platform.

[0009] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the stacked cage includes at least two cages stacked one on top of the other. The top of the uppermost cage is connected to a cage cover via an upper locking structure. A feeding device is connected to a connecting hole in one of the upper cages, and a feeding device is connected to a connecting hole on the same side of the lower cage via a pipe.

[0010] The pet stacking cage, employing the aforementioned technical solution, includes stackable cage bodies. The bottom of each cage body has a lower locking structure, and the top of each cage body has an upper locking structure for engaging with the lower locking structure of the upper stacked cage body. The left and right sides of each cage body have connecting holes for connecting feeding devices or adjacent cage bodies. This invention enables the stacking of multiple cage bodies through the stackable cage bodies and the lower and upper locking structures of each cage. The connecting holes on each cage body allow for interconnection via pipes, creating a unified space. This significantly increases the living space for pets such as hamsters, allowing for unrestricted rest and activity space that can be adjusted arbitrarily. It also allows for adjustable cage sizes, ensuring harmony with the placement space and enhancing the overall aesthetics of the environment, thus benefiting pet ownership. Furthermore, the feeding device is connected through the connecting hole and placed on the outside of the pet cage. This not only makes feeding convenient but also does not affect the space inside the cage. At the same time, multiple cages can be stacked one on top of the other and then connected horizontally through the connecting hole to achieve horizontal stacking of pet cages, which greatly improves the adjustability of the pet cage.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, in the drawings, the same reference numerals are assigned to components that are substantially the same in structure and function, and redundant descriptions of substantially the same components have been omitted to make the description more concise.

[0018] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, the pet stacking cage includes cage bodies 1 that can be stacked vertically. The cage body 1 adopts a common top-open, bottom-closed structure. The bottom of the cage body 1 is provided with a lower locking structure, and the top of the cage body 1 is provided with an upper locking structure for engaging with the lower locking structure on the upper stacked cage body 1. The left and right sides of the cage body 1 are respectively provided with connecting holes 3 for connecting feeding devices or adjacent cage bodies 1. A ventilation hole can be provided on the rear side of the cage body 1 for air circulation within the cage body 1. The cage 1 can be used alone. In this case, simply cover the top opening of the cage 1 with the cage lid 2 and lock it with the upper locking structure. Then, install the feeding device at one connecting hole 3 and seal the other connecting holes 3. Alternatively, a stacked cage can be used, consisting of at least two cages 1 stacked vertically, preferably two. The top of the upper cage 1 is connected to the cage lid 2 via the upper locking structure. One connecting hole 3 of the uppermost cage 1 is connected to the feeding device, and the other connecting hole 3 of the upper cage 1 is connected to the connecting hole 3 on the same side of the lower cage 1 via a pipe. This increases the living space for pets such as hamsters, allowing for unrestricted rest and activity space and enabling arbitrary adjustment of the cage. The remaining connecting holes 3 on the lower cage 1 are sealed or multiple stacked cages 1 are connected laterally via pipes, enabling horizontal stacking of pet cages and greatly improving the internal space and adjustability of the pet cage.

[0019] like Figure 3 and 4As shown, the lower locking structure includes a locking ridge 5 protruding outward from the bottom periphery of the cage body 1, and a snap-fit ​​edge 6 extending downward from the bottom periphery of the cage body 1. The upper locking structure includes a snap-fit ​​step 7 on the inner side of the top periphery of the cage body 1 that engages with the snap-fit ​​edge 6, and a locking buckle 8 hinged to the top of the cage body 1 to lock the locking ridge 5. When the cage bodies 1 are stacked, the snap-fit ​​edge 6 at the bottom of the upper cage body 1 inserts into the snap-fit ​​step 7 at the top of the lower cage body 1, causing the locking buckle 8 at the top of the lower cage body 1 to swing upward and engage with the locking ridge 5 at the bottom of the upper cage body 1 to lock the two cage bodies 1. Alternatively, a locking groove 51 can be recessed on the upper side of the locking ridge 5, and a locking tooth 9 at the outer end of the locking buckle 8 can engage with the locking groove 51 to achieve locking. Of course, a buckle or other method can also be used to lock the two cage bodies 1.

[0020] like Figure 4 As shown, the feeding device includes an upper inner shell 10, with a connecting pipe 11 connected to the inner side of the upper inner shell 10. The connecting pipe 11 can be inserted into a connecting hole 3 and fixedly connected to the cage body 1. The connecting pipe 11 can be fixedly connected to the cage body 1 by threading a fixing nut 12 onto the inner end of the connecting pipe 11 inserted into the connecting hole 3. The lower shell 13 is detachably connected to the lower shell 10. A slot 14 is provided at the bottom of the upper inner shell 10, and a protruding edge 15 is provided at the top of the lower shell 13 that can be inserted into the slot 14. The upper inner shell 10 and the lower shell 13 are detachable by sliding the protruding edge 15 into the slot 14. An upper outer shell 16 is hinged to the outer side of the upper inner shell 10 and can be fastened to the outside of the lower shell 13. The upper inner shell 10, the upper outer shell 16, and the lower shell 13 constitute the feeding shell. A locking device 17 is provided between the outer ends of the upper outer shell 16 and the lower shell 13. The locking mechanism can be a snap fastener or a structure with elastic plastic claws on the outer end of the upper outer shell 16 and locking teeth on the outer end of the lower shell 13. When feeding, open the locking device 17 to lift the upper outer shell 16 and place the food into the lower shell 13. Hamsters and other pets can then enter the cage 1 through the connecting tube 11 for feeding. This way, food residue remains inside the lower shell. Cleaning is easy by simply removing the lower shell 13 from the upper inner shell 10. No food residue will remain inside the cage 1, making it convenient for hamsters and other pets to live and play, and promoting cleanliness within the cage 1.

[0021] like Figure 3 and 4As shown, a resting platform 18 is placed at the bottom of the cage 1. A water trough 19 is recessed at the top of the resting platform 18 for storing drinking water for pets such as hamsters. A hiding room 20 is recessed at the bottom of the resting platform 18. The hiding room 20 has an entrance and exit, which makes it easy for pets such as hamsters to hide or play when frightened. A step 4 is provided on one side of the resting platform 18 to facilitate going up and down the platform. The resting platform 18 can also be located below the connecting hole 3 of the feeding device, which makes it easy for pets such as hamsters to enter and exit the feeding device.

[0022] In this invention, the cage 1 can be made of transparent material for easy viewing, and each component can be made of plastic material, which is lightweight and easy to transport.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model takes two cages 1 stacked one on top of the other as an example. The snap-fit ​​edge 6 at the bottom of the upper cage 1 is inserted into the snap-fit ​​step 7 at the top of the lower cage 1. The locking buckle 8 at the top of the lower cage 1 is swung upward to cooperate with the locking protrusion 5 at the bottom of the upper cage 1 to lock the two cages 1. The cage cover 2 is fastened to the top opening of the upper cage 1 and locked by the upper locking structure. One of the connecting holes 3 on the upper cage 1 is connected to the feeding device through the connecting pipe 11, while the other connecting hole 3 is connected to the connecting hole 3 on the same side of the lower cage 1 through the pipe. The other connecting hole 3 on the lower cage 1 is blocked or connected to other cages 1 through the pipe. Resting tables 18 are placed in the cages 1 for hamsters and other pets to live, rest and play. When feeding, the snap-fit ​​device 17 is opened to lift the upper outer shell 16 and put the food into the lower shell 13. The hamsters and other pets enter the cage 1 through the connecting pipe 11 to be fed.
