[0019] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a wildlife transfer cage, including a first frame 1, a second frame 2 provided on one side of the first frame 1, an adjustment component 3 provided on the opposite side of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2, a buffer component 4 provided on one side of the adjustment component 3, and a cage door 5 slidably connected inside the second frame 2.

[0021] The adjustment assembly 3 includes an adjustment rod 31 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first frame 1. One end of the adjustment rod 31 extends out of the first frame 1 and is fixedly connected to a knob. Several first gears 32 are fixedly connected to the surface of the adjustment rod 31. A sleeve rod 33 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first frame 1 on one side of the first gears 32. A threaded rod 34 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sleeve rod 33. A second gear 35 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 34. The second gear 35 meshes with the first gear 32. An extension rod 36 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 34. The extension rod 36 is slidably connected to the sleeve rod 33. The extension rod 36 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second frame 2. A first connecting rod 37 is provided on the opposite side of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2. A second connecting rod 38 is rotatably connected to one end of the first connecting rod 37. Two adjacent first connecting rods 37 are rotatably connected to each other. A first protective rod 39 is rotatably connected above both the first connecting rod 37 and the second connecting rod 38.

[0022] Rotating the knob causes the adjusting rod 31 to rotate, which, in conjunction with the first gear 32, the second gear 35, and the threaded rod 34, causes the extension rod 36 to slide along the inner wall of the sleeve rod 33. During this process, the first connecting rod 37 will rotate and drive the second connecting rod 38 to rotate, thereby adjusting the distance between the first frame 1 and the second frame 2. This allows the volume of the transfer cage to be reduced while ensuring that wild animals have sufficient space to move around, effectively increasing the applicability of the transfer cage.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: the buffer assembly 4 includes several slide rails 41 fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2. A buffer spring 42 is sleeved on the surface of each slide rail 41, and a slide seat 43 is slidably connected to the surface of each slide rail 41 on one side of the buffer spring 42. The slide seat 43 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 37. During use, the first protective rod 39 will block both sides of the transfer cage. When a wild animal impacts the first protective rod 39, the slide rails 41 and the buffer springs 42 can provide cushioning for the slide seat 43, thereby reducing the impact force on the first protective rod 39 and enhancing its strength during use.

[0024] The bottom end of the second connecting rod 38 is rotatably connected to a support base 6, and the bottom ends of the first frame 1, the second frame 2, and the support base 6 are all fixedly connected to casters 7. The support base 6 provides additional support for the adjustment component 3, thereby preventing the adjustment component 3 from bending due to the pressure exerted by wild animals during use. The casters 7 facilitate the movement of the transfer cage.

[0025] A handle 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the first frame 1 away from the adjustment component 3, and a first soft sleeve is fitted on the surface of the handle 8. The handle 8 facilitates pushing the transfer cage, and the first soft sleeve on the surface of the handle 8 not only prevents the hand from slipping on the surface of the handle 8, but also reduces the discomfort caused by pushing the transfer cage for a long time.

[0026] Both the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 have several handles 9 fixedly connected to their surfaces, and the surfaces of the handles 9 are covered with second soft sleeves. The handles 9 facilitate lifting the transfer cage, and the second soft sleeves on the surfaces of the handles 9 not only prevent the hands from slipping on the surfaces of the handles 9, but also reduce the discomfort caused by lifting the transfer cage.

[0027] A second protective rod 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the first frame 1 above the adjustment component 3. A third protective rod 11 is slidably connected inside the second protective rod 10, and the third protective rod 11 is fixedly connected to the second frame 2. During use, the second protective rod 10 and the third protective rod 11 prevent wild animals from escaping from the top of the transfer cage. When adjusting the volume of the transfer cage, the third protective rod 11 will slide along the inner wall of the second protective rod 10 fixed to one side of the first frame 1.

[0028] Detailed implementation: Before using the transfer cage, turn the knob according to the species and size of the wild animal to make the adjusting rod 31 connected to it rotate within the first frame 1. Then, the first gear 32 fixed to the surface of the adjusting rod 31 drives the threaded rod 34 connected to the second gear 35 to rotate, which in turn drives the extension rod 36 to slide along the inner wall of the sleeve rod 33 connected to the inner wall of the first frame 1. During this process, the first connecting rod 37 set on one side of the first frame 1 will rotate, which in turn drives the second connecting rod 38 connected to one end of the first connecting rod 37 to rotate. This can adjust the distance between the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 to adjust the volume of the transfer cage. In this way, the volume of the transfer cage can be reduced while ensuring that the wild animal has sufficient activity space, which effectively improves the applicability of the transfer cage.

[0029] During use, the first protective bar 39 will block both sides of the transfer cage. When a wild animal hits the first protective bar 39, the first protective bar 39 will drive the slide block 43 connected to it to slide along the surface of the slide rail 41 fixed on the opposite side of the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 and squeeze the buffer spring 42. The buffer spring 42 will provide cushioning for the slide block 43, thereby reducing the impact force on the first protective bar 39 and enhancing the strength of the first protective bar 39 during use.

[0030] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
