Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pet cabinet technology, and in particular relates to an integrated cat cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] In the commercial display or breeding of pet cats, in order to increase customers' desire to view and purchase, the side panels of the cabinets used to keep cats are usually made of glass, so that buyers or owners can see the pet cats' activities inside the cabinet.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number 202221282115.0 discloses a cat display room, including a cabinet wall, an arched glass wall, and a cat tree. The glass cabinet typically requires sealant after purchase, making assembly difficult for non-professionals; furthermore, glass is a rigid material, so the arched glass wall takes up considerable space during transport, making it inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, an integrated cat cabinet that is easy for users to assemble and convenient for transportation is provided.

[0005] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: an integrated cat cabinet, comprising:

[0006] A vertically parallel upper mounting base and a lower mounting base are arranged at intervals. Each upper mounting base and the lower mounting base includes a rectangular frame and at least one arc-shaped frame that are connected to each other along their own length direction. The arc-shaped frame is arranged on the side of the rectangular frame.

[0007] An arc-shaped panel, made of a flexible, light-transmitting material, is disposed between an upper mounting base and an arc-shaped frame of a lower mounting base. The arc-shaped frame is provided with a first mounting groove for inserting the vertical two ends of the arc-shaped panel.

[0008] Several rectangular panels are detachably fixed between the rectangular frames of the upper and lower mounting bases, and together with the curved panels, form the circumferential sidewalls of the cat cabinet.

[0009] A first support column is disposed between the curved panel and the rectangular panel. The first support column is detachably fixed to the upper mounting base and the lower mounting base. The first support column is provided with a second mounting groove for inserting into the transverse two-end edges of the curved panel.

[0010] During installation, the user can first place the lower mounting base on the ground, then fix the two first support columns on the lower mounting base, then bend the curved panel into an arc shape, and insert its lower edge and two horizontal edges into the first mounting slot of the curved frame and the second mounting slot of the two first support columns, respectively. At the same time, fix the rectangular panel on the rectangular frame, and then install the upper mounting base on the first support columns. The upper edge of the curved panel will be inserted into the first mounting slot of the upper mounting base to complete the installation of the entire cat cabinet.

[0011] This solution eliminates the need for sealing adhesives by inserting the circumferential sidewalls of the curved panel into the first and second mounting slots, making it very convenient. Furthermore, the curved panel is flexible and can be made from existing TPU materials, allowing it to be bent, thus solving the problem of high logistics costs caused by the fixed shape of existing curved glass materials.

[0012] Preferably, the first support column has vertically extending plug-in posts at both its upper and lower ends, and the upper and lower mounting seats are each provided with plug-in slots that engage with the plug-in posts.

[0013] The detachable design of the first support column, which connects to the upper and lower mounting bases, facilitates installation for the user.

[0014] Preferably, the first support column is equipped with a fixing strip, and the side wall of the first support column is provided with a plurality of vertically spaced fixing grooves. The fixing strip is provided with a plurality of fixing members that extend into the fixing grooves and fix the fixing strip to the first support column. The second mounting groove is formed between the first support column and the fixing strip. The two transverse ends of the arc-shaped panel are provided with a plurality of through holes for the fixing strip to pass through.

[0015] During installation, align the through holes at both ends of the curved panel with the fixing groove. Then, pass the fixing strip through the through holes to create a limiting space between it and the fixing groove, thereby fixing the curved panel in the second mounting groove. This prevents the curved panel from detaching from the second mounting groove, enhancing structural strength and stability. The fixing strip can be fastened to the fixing groove via a snap-fit ​​connection or magnetic attachment, etc.

[0016] Preferably, the fixing groove is hollowed out and the groove opening is T-shaped. The fixing member includes a protruding section and a connecting section. The connecting section is located between the protruding section and the fixing strip. The protruding section is straight and adapts to the T-shaped structure of the groove opening. When the protruding section passes through the groove opening, the connecting section can move downward, so that the protruding section and the T-shaped groove opening are misaligned, thereby fixing the fixing strip to the first support column.

[0017] The T-shaped slot creates a misalignment with the fastener, allowing for detachable fixing of the fixing strip to the first support column. This method is simple to assemble and disassemble and is easy for users to operate.

[0018] Preferably, the upper mounting base and the lower mounting base include a frame body and a cover plate covering the frame body. The cover plate constitutes the top or bottom plate of the cat cabinet. The upper mounting base and the lower mounting base are provided with a support frame on their circumferential inner side. The support frame supports the cover plate so that the surface of the cover plate is flush with the surface of the upper mounting base and the lower mounting base.

[0019] The support frame has a height difference with the surfaces of the upper and lower mounting seats to form a stepped shape, so that the cover plate can be supported on the support frame and be flush with the support frame.

[0020] Preferably, the cat cabinet has a multi-layer structure, and the cover plate also serves as a shelf in the cat cabinet, with the cover plate having a cat passage that runs vertically through it.

[0021] The cat cabinet has a multi-layer structure. The upper and lower mounting bases in the middle serve as the mounting bases between the layers, and the middle cover plate serves as the shelf. The shelf has cat passageways, which can give the cat more room to move around. For example, the upper layer can be used as the cat's bedroom, the middle layer as the cat's eating area, and the lower layer as the cat's toilet area.

[0022] Preferably, the bottom of the cover plate is provided with a temperature control device, which includes a water pipe and a heating / cooling device.

[0023] Temperature is controlled by raising or lowering the temperature of the liquid in the heating / cooling water pipes, thus providing a comfortable experience for the cats inside the cat enclosure.

[0024] Preferably, the upper and lower ends of the two first support columns are connected with crossbeams to form a support frame with a frame structure; the lower end of the support frame is provided with a stepped structure, which is adapted to the stepped structure of the support frame, the upper mounting seat or the lower mounting seat, so that the lower end of the support frame can be supported on the support frame and the upper mounting seat or the lower mounting seat.

[0025] The lower end of the support frame has a stepped structure, which not only avoids the stepped structure formed by the upper and lower mounting bases and the support frame, but also fits into the joint with the two, thereby enhancing the structural strength and making the cat cabinet more stable.

[0026] Preferably, a second support column is provided at the corner of the rectangular frame, and the two ends of the second support column are inserted into the upper mounting base and the lower mounting base.

[0027] The stability of the structure can be further enhanced by setting up a second support column.

[0028] Preferably, one of the rectangular panels serves as a door panel, which is rotatably connected to the upper and lower mounting seats via a door hinge; the door panel is located between the first and second support columns, and the second or first support column is provided with a locking block for locking and unlocking the door panel; the other rectangular panels serve as side panels of the cat cabinet and are provided with ventilation holes.

[0029] The locking block can be any existing locking component, such as slider locking, latch locking, pin locking, etc.

[0030] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: by inserting the circumferential sidewalls of the curved panel into the first and second mounting slots, no sealing adhesive is required, which is very convenient. Furthermore, the curved panel is flexible and can be made of existing TPU material, allowing it to be bent, thus solving the problem of high logistics costs caused by the fixed shape of existing curved glass materials. In addition, the entire cat cabinet is composed of a simple, detachable structure, making it easy for users to install and transport. Attached Figure Description
