[0039] like Figure 1-3 The birdcage shown is a variable space birdcage, which includes a cage lid 1, a cage body 2 and a base 3.

[0040] Specifically, the cage cover 1 includes a frame 11 and a top cover 12. The frame 11 is located on top of the cage body 2, and the top cover 12 is detachably mounted on the frame 11. The cage body 2 is detachably mounted on the base 3. Before the two birdcages are stacked on top of each other, the base 3 of the upper birdcage is removed, and the top cover 12 of the lower birdcage is removed. When the two birdcages are stacked on top of each other, the bottom of the cage body 2 of the upper birdcage is detachably connected to the frame 11 of the lower birdcage.

[0041] In this embodiment, the birdcage itself can be used as a standalone birdcage. Furthermore, the top cover 12 on the cage lid 1 is detachable, and the cage body 2 and base 3 are detachably connected. When additional space is needed, two birdcages can be stacked vertically. The base 3 of the upper birdcage is removed, and the top cover 12 of the lower birdcage is removed. The bottom of the upper cage body 2 is connected to the lower frame 11, thus stacking the two birdcages together and expanding the birdcage's space. This effectively increases the pet bird's activity space. Therefore, the birdcage in this embodiment has excellent space expansion capabilities, improving the user experience.

[0042] The specific number of units to be stacked and assembled can be two, three, four, or any other required quantity.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the frame 11 is provided with an isolation pull-out slot 111 into which the isolation member 34 can be inserted. The isolation pull-out slot 111 starts from the outer surface of one side of the frame 11 and extends to the opposite side of the frame 11. The isolation member 34 can be an external structure or a structure built into the birdcage. Its shape can be the bottom mesh 32 mentioned below, or a mesh structure similar to the bottom mesh 32, or a plate structure. After the isolation member 34 is inserted into the isolation pull-out slot 111, the isolation member 34 extends from one side of the frame 11 to the other side of the frame, completely separating the upper and lower parts of the frame 11. That is, when the birdcages are stacked, the isolation member 34 can separate the upper and lower birdcages. In actual use, the pet bird can be isolated in the lower birdcage first using the isolation member 34, and then the bottom of the cage body 2 of the upper birdcage can be removed from the frame 11 of the lower birdcage. The stacked birdcages can be disassembled without catching the pet bird, which has good assembly and disassembly convenience.

[0044] In some embodiments of the spacer 34, the spacer 34 is mesh or grid-like and is housed in a pull-out box 33.

[0045] Furthermore, the frame 11 is detachably connected to the top of the cage body 2. Thus, for a single birdcage, the cage lid 1 can be removed. For two birdcages assembled together, when separating them, the bottom of the cage body 2 of the upper birdcage is detachably connected to the frame 11 of the lower birdcage, allowing the frame 11 between the upper and lower cage bodies 2 to be separated to the lower birdcage; the frame 11 can also be separated to the upper birdcage by using the detachable connection between the frame 11 and the top of the cage body 2.

[0046] Therefore, it offers good flexibility in disassembly and assembly.

[0047] Furthermore, the combination of the isolation pull-out slot 111 and the isolation element 34 provides excellent convenience when replacing the cage. Specifically, when the isolation element 34 is inserted into the isolation pull-out slot 111 of the frame 11, and the pet bird is isolated in the upper cage using the isolation element 34, the middle frame 11 can be separated from the lower cage body 2, thus allowing the lower cage to be replaced. Similarly, when the isolation element 34 is inserted into the isolation pull-out slot 111 of the frame 11, and the pet bird is isolated in the lower cage using the isolation element 34, the upper cage body 2 can be separated from the middle frame 11, thus allowing the upper cage to be replaced. Overall, the cage can be replaced when there is no need to capture the pet bird, facilitating cage replacement and cleaning.

[0048] Of course, in order to replace the middle frame 11, the pet bird was isolated in the upper birdcage by using the isolation piece 34 multiple times, and the lower birdcage was removed by repeatedly stacking and assembling it on top.

[0049] The top connection between the frame 11 and the cage body 2 is detachable, specifically, as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the birdcage also includes at least one upper buckle 13, the upper end of which is connected to the frame 11, and the lower end of which is engaged with the cage body 2. When the side panel 22 on the cage body 2 is a mesh panel, the lower end of the upper buckle 13 is engaged into the mesh.

[0050] In another embodiment where the frame 11 and the cage body 2 are detachably connected at the top, the top portion of the cage body 2 is inserted into the bottom of the frame 11, and a locking screw is provided on the side of the frame 11, which abuts against the inserted portion at the top of the cage body 2. Tightening the locking screw can stably assemble the frame 11 and the cage body 2, and loosening the locking screw can quickly separate the frame 11 and the cage body 2.

[0051] Regarding the detachable connection between the cage body 2 and the base 3, specifically, as follows: Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the birdcage also includes at least one lower latch 23, the upper end of which is connected to the cage body 2, and the lower end of which is engaged with the base 3.

[0052] Of course, the cage body 2 and the base 3 can also be detachably connected using locking screws. Alternatively, the corner posts 21 on the cage body 2 can be used to snap onto the base 3.

[0053] In some embodiments of the base 3, such as Figure 4 As shown, the base 3 includes a base body 31, a bottom mesh 32, and a pull-out box 33. The base body 31 is provided with a box groove 311 for the pull-out box 33 to be pulled out and moved. The bottom mesh 32 is disposed on the base body 31 and located above the box groove 311. The pull-out box 33 is movably disposed in the box groove 311.

[0054] For the detachable connection between the cage body 2 and the base 3, specifically, the base 31 is provided with a mating groove 312. The bottom of the cage body 2 is inserted into the mating groove 312 for docking and positioning. Simultaneously, a first limiting protrusion 313 is provided within the mating groove 312. When the bottom of the cage body 2 is inserted into the mating groove 312, the first limiting protrusion 313 is located on the inner side of the cage body 2, specifically on the inner side of the side panel 22, and abuts against the side panel 22. Thus, when the bottom of the cage body 2 is inserted into the mating groove 312, the entire outer portion of the bottom of the cage body 2 abuts against the interior of the mating groove 312. The first limiting protrusion 313 effectively maintains the shape of the bottom of the cage body 2, improves the stability of the cage body 2 during insertion, and prevents the cage body 2 from deforming and loosening.

[0055] Furthermore, the bottom mesh 32 is adapted to the isolation pull-out slot 111. When the two birdcages are stacked on top of each other, the bottom mesh 32 of the upper birdcage is detachably inserted into the isolation pull-out slot 111 of the lower birdcage. In this way, the bottom mesh 32 can be used as an isolation element 34.

[0056] Alternatively, an independent isolation component 34 can be directly configured, meaning the birdcage also includes an isolation component 34, which is compatible with the isolation pull-out slot 111. When two birdcages are stacked on top of each other, the isolation component 34 can be detachably inserted into the isolation pull-out slot 111.

[0057] Regarding the detachable connection between the cage body 2 and the frame 11, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the top of the frame 11 has a snap-fit ​​groove 112, and the top cover 12 is disposed within the snap-fit ​​groove 112. When two birdcages are stacked on top of each other, the bottom of the cage body 2 of the upper birdcage extends into the snap-fit ​​groove 112 of the lower birdcage. The snap-fit ​​groove 112 on the top of the frame 11 flattens the top structure of the frame 11 and accommodates the snap-fit ​​related structure through the snap-fit ​​groove 112, thereby preventing the inverted buckle 113 from protruding from the frame 11, avoiding or reducing the protrusion of the top of the birdcage, and facilitating the stacking of the birdcages.

[0058] Regarding specific card connection methods, such as Figure 6 As shown, the snap-fit ​​groove 112 is provided with several buckles 113 for engaging with the top cover 12 or the bottom of the cage body 2. Specifically, the buckles 113 engage with the side panels 22 on the cage body 2. When the side panels 22 have a mesh structure, the buckles 113 engage with the mesh openings of the side panels 22. In addition, the snap-fit ​​groove 112 is also provided with several second limiting protrusions 114. The buckles 113 are located on one side of the side panels 22, and the second limiting protrusions 114 are located on the other side of the side panels 22, forming a clamping effect on both sides of the side panels 22, improving the stability of the engagement between the cage body 2 and the frame 11.

[0059] In addition to the aforementioned method of detachably connecting the cage body 2 and the frame 11 via the inverted buckle 113, the cage body 2 and the frame 11 can also be connected by some fasteners. For example, a slot is provided at the top of the frame 11, and a locking screw is provided on the side of the frame 11, with the end of the locking screw extending into the slot. During assembly, the cage body 2 is inserted into the slot, the end of the locking screw abuts against the cage body 2, and tightening the locking screw allows for bending and assembly.

[0060] Of course, such as Figure 2 As shown, the specific structure of the cage body 2 includes several corner posts 21 and several side panels 22. The locking screws are located at the corners of the frame 11, so that the ends of the locking screws abut against the corner posts 21.

[0061] like Figure 5As shown, when the side panel 22 is a plate-shaped structure, the bottom of the side panel 22 is inserted into the insertion groove, so that the end of the locking screw can also abut against the bottom of the side panel 22.

[0062] In some embodiments of the cage body 2, such as Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, the cage body 2 includes several corner posts 21 and several side members 22. The corner posts 21 and the side members 22 together form the cage body 2. The corner posts 21 are provided with mounting grooves 211 facing the side members 22. The side members 22 have vertical ribs 221 on their sides, and the side members 22 extend into the mounting grooves 211. The vertical ribs 221 are located within the mounting grooves 211. At the entrance of the mounting grooves 211, there are anti-detachment protrusions 212 to prevent the vertical ribs 221 from detaching. The anti-detachment protrusions 212 reduce the local width of the mounting grooves 211, making it more difficult for the vertical ribs 221 to slip out of the mounting grooves 211.

[0063] To improve the accuracy and stability of the assembly of the frame 11 and the cage body 2, the frame 11 is fitted onto the corner post 21. Specifically, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the top of the corner post 21 is provided with an assembly protrusion 213, and the bottom of the frame 11 is provided with an assembly groove. The frame 11 uses the assembly groove at its bottom to fit onto the assembly protrusion 213 of the corner post 21.

[0064] The top part of the cage body 2 is inserted into the bottom of the frame 11, specifically, the mounting protrusion 213 on the top of the corner post 21 is inserted into the mounting groove at the bottom of the frame 11.

[0065] 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.
