It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this utility model; the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0035] Example:

[0036] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a cage door device for enclosing wild animals, installed on wall 1, including:

[0037] The cage door linkage device installed on the wall 1, the cage door body 2 installed on the wall 1, and the guide rail assembly 3;

[0038] The cage door 2 can slide relative to the wall 1 via the guide rail assembly 3;

[0039] The cage door linkage device includes a linkage handle 4, a limit member 5, and a linkage component. The linkage component includes a linkage end, a drive end, and an elastic member 6. The linkage end is connected to the drive end through the elastic member 6, the linkage end is connected to the linkage handle 4, and the drive end is connected to the limit member 5.

[0040] The linkage handle 4 undergoes a relative position change through the linkage end, which in turn causes the drive end to move relative to the linkage end.

[0041] The guide rail assembly 3 is provided with several limiting parts 14. When the elastic member 6 is in the stretched state, the limiting member 5 cooperates with a limiting part 14. When the elastic member 6 is in the compressed state, the limiting member 5 separates from the limiting part 14.

[0042] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: First, the wall 1 of this embodiment is provided with an opening 12 that communicates with the cage for enclosing wild animals. The range of sliding of the cage door 2 relative to the wall 1 corresponds to the size of the opening 12. The cage door device of this embodiment allows staff to adjust the position of the cage door 2 relative to the opening 12 from outside the area where the animals are allowed to move, so that the animals can enter the activity area of ​​the cage for enclosing wild animals. The cage door linkage device can prevent the animals from moving the cage door 2, thereby preventing the animals from moving out of the activity area and causing harm to the staff.

[0043] Specifically, when the operator pulls the linkage handle 4, its relative position changes through the linkage end and the driving end moves relative to the linkage end, so that the limiting part 5 and the limiting part 14 can cooperate or separate, thereby locking or unlocking the relative position of the cage door 2 and the guide rail assembly 3. All of the above operations require the operator to actively use the linkage handle 4 to complete, which can effectively prevent the animal from moving the cage door 2 on its own, making it safer. The elastic part 6 can also ensure the smoothness of the movement of the driving end relative to the linkage end.

[0044] The specific units of the linkage component in this embodiment are as follows:

[0045] First, the linkage end includes a linkage slide 7, a locking component 8, a locking part 9, and a linkage rod 10;

[0046] Secondly, the driving end includes a driving slider 11;

[0047] In the above structure, the linkage slide 7 is located on the side of the cage door 2, the drive slider 11 is slidably engaged with the linkage slide 7, the two ends of the linkage rod 10 are respectively hinged to the drive slider 11 and the linkage handle 4, the locking part 8 is located on the linkage handle 4, and the locking part 9 is located on the linkage slide 7.

[0048] The elastic element 6 is connected to the drive slider 11 and the linkage slide 7 respectively;

[0049] When the locking part 9 engages with the locking member 8, the driving slider 11 slides within the linkage slide block 7, and the elastic member 6 is in a compressed state.

[0050] When the locking part 9 separates from the locking member 8, the drive slider 11 slides within the linkage slide block 7, and the elastic member 6 is in a stretched state.

[0051] Specifically, the locking part 9 is a through hole structure provided in the linkage slide 7, and the locking member 8 is a hook structure provided in the linkage handle member 4.

[0052] Specifically, the elastic element 6 is a spring element, and the two ends of the spring element are provided with connecting rings. The drive slider 11 and the linkage slide 7 are provided with connecting seats that are connected to the connecting rings.

[0053] Based on the above structure, the specific linkage principle is as follows:

[0054] There are two positional relationships between the linkage handle 4 and the linkage slide 7: the linkage handle 4 is connected to the linkage slide 7 by the cooperation of the locking part 9 and the locking part 8, or it is separated from the linkage slide 7 by the separation of the locking part 9 and the locking part 8. This changes the position of the linkage handle 4 relative to the linkage slide 7, so that the linkage handle 4 can drive the slider 11 to slide in the linkage slide 7 through the action of the linkage rod 10. This realizes the separation or cooperation of the limiting part 5 and the limiting part 14, thereby locking or unlocking the relative position of the linkage slide 7 to the cage door 2.

[0055] Furthermore, due to the structure with spring components, when the elastic component 6 is in a compressed state, the limiting component 5 can automatically separate from the limiting component 14 under the elastic force of the spring component when the locking part 9 separates from the locking component 8. At the same time, when the linkage handle component 4 is pushed to move, the spring component also increases the damping feel and improves the operating feel.

[0056] In this embodiment, the specific mating structure between the limiting member 5 and the guide rail assembly 3 is as follows:

[0057] A toothed condition 13 is provided on the guide rail assembly 3 and along its length extension direction, and a groove-shaped limiting part 14 is formed between adjacent tooth tips of the toothed condition 13.

[0058] The limiting member 5 is provided with a pointed limiting protrusion 15 that can cooperate with the limiting part 14.

[0059] Specifically, the guide rail assembly 3 is respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the wall 1, specifically at the upper and lower ends of the opening 12 of the wall 1. The number of limiting parts 5 and linkage components corresponds to the number of guide rail assemblies 3. The linkage handle 4 is located at the middle of the side of the cage door 2, and the two ends of the linkage handle 4 are respectively connected to the linkage end of the linkage assembly.

[0060] In this embodiment, the wall 1 is also provided with a safety device, which includes a safety rope 16 and a safety connector 17. The safety connector 17 is located on the wall 1, and the two ends of the safety rope 16 are respectively connected to the safety connector 17 and the cage door 2.

[0061] Specifically, the safety connector 17 is provided with a connection hole 18, the safety rope body 16 is engaged with the connection hole 18, and one end of the safety rope body 16 is provided with several limit seats 19 and a limit sleeve 20. The limit sleeve 20 is provided with a limit engagement hole that can be threadedly engaged with the limit seats 19.

[0062] Specifically, several limit seats 19 are arranged along the length of the safety rope body 16.

[0063] The above-mentioned safety device can limit the movement range of the cage door 2, preventing the cage door 2 from completely covering the opening 12 and causing the cage door 2 to close completely and injure the animal. Specifically, the diameter of the connecting hole 18 is larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the safety rope 16 and the limiting seat 19, but smaller than the cross-sectional diameter of the limiting sleeve 20. By cooperating the limiting sleeve 20 with the limiting seat 19 at different positions, the length of the safety rope 16 between the cage door 2 and the safety connecting seat 17 can be adjusted, thereby limiting the movement range of the cage door 2.

[0064] In this embodiment, the cage door 2 can be made of stainless steel. An observation window 21 is provided on the cage door 2. The observation window 21 can be a mesh window structure, which allows visual communication between the animals on both sides of the cage door 2 and reduces the anxiety of the animals when they are isolated.

[0065] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent changes, and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
