[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] 1. This utility model allows for adjustment of the distance between the first and second storage cages via an elastic connecting plate and a locking knob, thus changing the overall size of the storage cage. Simultaneously, the first and second partitions can be flexibly combined or disassembled via interlocking slots to adjust the internal partition space, meeting the storage needs of goods of different sizes and quantities, greatly improving the utilization rate of storage space.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.
[0021] Example 1:
[0022] Please see Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a space-adjustable lightweight storage cage, including a first storage cage 1 and a second storage cage 2. A positioning frame 4 is fixedly installed on the right end of the first storage cage 1. An elastic connecting plate 3 is wound inside the positioning frame 4. The right end of the elastic connecting plate 3 is fixed to the left end of the second storage cage 2 through the positioning connecting plate. A locking knob 5 is installed through the outside of the positioning frame 4. The locking end of the locking knob 5 is tightly connected to the surface of the elastic connecting plate 3 wound inside the positioning frame 4. A first partition 8 is vertically installed inside the first storage cage 1. A first insertion groove 9 is vertically opened inside the front and rear ends of the first partition 8. A second partition 13 is vertically installed inside the second storage cage 2. A second insertion groove 14 is vertically opened inside the second partition 13.
[0023] This technical solution allows for adjustment of the distance between the first storage cage 1 and the second storage cage 2 via the elastic connecting plate 3 and the locking knob 5, thereby changing the overall size of the storage cage. Simultaneously, the first partition 8 and the second partition 13 can be flexibly combined or disassembled via interlocking slots to adjust the internal partition space, meeting the storage needs of goods of different sizes and quantities, greatly improving the utilization rate of storage space. Weight-reducing holes are provided on the surfaces of the first partition 8 and the second partition 13, effectively reducing weight while ensuring structural strength. The use of lightweight materials and a reasonable structural design reduces the weight of the storage cage itself, facilitating handling and use, and reducing handling costs and labor intensity.
[0024] Example 2:
[0025] Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the inner cavity of the second storage cage 2 is provided with an adjustment groove 7, and a connecting pull plate 6 is fixedly installed above the adjustment groove 7 by a slider. The left end of the connecting pull plate 6 is connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the first storage cage 1. Support springs 10 are fixedly installed at both the front and rear ends of the left side of the second partition 13, and a buffer protection plate 11 is fixedly installed at the left end of the support spring 10.
[0026] Adopting such Figure 1 The technical solution shown features an adjustment groove 7 at the bottom of the inner cavity of the second storage cage 2, which works in conjunction with a connecting plate 6. When adjusting the distance between the first storage cage 1 and the second storage cage 2, the connecting plate 6 slides within the adjustment groove 7 via a slider. This design ensures that the bottoms of the two storage cages remain connected and move synchronously during the change of distance, effectively preventing structural instability caused by bottom disengagement or wobbling during space adjustment. This significantly enhances the overall stability and reliability of the storage cage structure and ensures its safety during use. A support spring 10 and a buffer protection plate 11 are provided on the left side of the second partition 13. When goods are placed inside the storage cage and come into contact with the left side of the second partition 13, the support spring 10 deforms due to the pressure of the goods, converting the impact force generated by the goods into the elastic potential energy of the spring, thus providing a buffering effect. Simultaneously, the rubber pad 12 between the buffer protection plate 11 and the second partition 13 further absorbs and disperses the impact force through its own elastic deformation, reducing rigid collisions between the goods and the partition.
[0027] Secondly, in the technical solution, a rubber pad 12 is fixedly installed between the right side of the buffer protection plate 11 and the left side of the second partition 13, and support legs 15 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the first storage cage 1 and the second storage cage 2 respectively; the ends of the first partition 8 and the second partition 13 slide in contact with the inner walls of the first storage cage 1 and the second storage cage 2 respectively, and the first partition 8 is made of elastic material.
[0028] Its adoption is as follows Figure 1 The technical solution shown has a first partition 8 and a second partition 13 that slide in contact with the inner wall of the storage cage. The first partition 8 is made of an elastic material. This design makes the installation, disassembly, and position adjustment of the partition more convenient. Operators can easily slide the partition according to the size, shape, and storage requirements of the goods to change the internal partition space of the storage cage. The first partition 8, made of elastic material, can better adapt to the shape and size changes of the inner wall of the storage cage during the sliding process, avoiding jamming or damage caused by rigid contact. At the same time, when squeezed by goods, it can also generate a certain deformation to disperse the pressure, enhance the durability and applicability of the partition, and further improve the flexibility and efficiency of the storage cage space utilization.
[0029] Example 3:
[0030] This utility model is as follows Figures 1-3 As shown, the locking end of the locking knob 5 is provided with an anti-slip rubber pad, and the outer side wall of the positioning frame 4 is provided with a threaded hole that matches the locking knob 5. The locking knob 5 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The inner walls of the first insertion groove 9 and the second insertion groove 14 are both provided with a wear-resistant layer. The surfaces of the first partition 8 and the second partition 13 are both provided with uniformly distributed weight-reducing holes. The inner walls of the first storage cage 1 and the second storage cage 2 are both provided with sliding grooves that match the first partition 8 and the second partition 13. The first partition 8 and the second partition 13 are slidably connected to the first storage cage 1 and the second storage cage 2 through the sliding grooves.
[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the locking end of the locking knob 5 is equipped with an anti-slip rubber pad, which, in conjunction with the threaded connection with the threaded hole of the positioning frame 4, greatly enhances the fixing effect on the elastic connecting plate 3. When adjusting the distance between the first storage cage 1 and the second storage cage 2, the locking knob 5 is turned to secure it to the positioning frame 4. The anti-slip rubber pad increases the friction with the surface of the elastic connecting plate 3, preventing the elastic connecting plate 3 from loosening or shifting under force. This allows the storage cage to maintain its stable state after being adjusted to a suitable space size. Even during the handling or storage of heavy goods, there is no need to worry about changes in the distance, ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the storage cage and the reliability of the space adjustment function. The weight-reducing holes evenly distributed on the surface of the partition significantly reduce the weight of the partition without affecting the structural strength of the partition, thereby reducing the overall weight of the storage cage. This not only makes the handling of the storage cage easier and more convenient, but also reduces the transportation costs caused by excessive weight, achieving the goal of lightweight design and improving the economy and practicality of the storage cage in actual use.
[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to expand or shrink the overall space of the storage cage, the operator loosens the locking knob 5. At this time, the elastic connecting plate 3 is no longer fixed in the positioning frame 4. Since the elastic connecting plate 3 has a certain elasticity and rollability, the second storage cage 2 is pulled, and the elastic connecting plate 3 will extend or retract in the positioning frame 4, thereby changing the distance between the first storage cage 1 and the second storage cage 2. After adjusting to a suitable distance, the locking knob 5 is tightened to fix the elastic connecting plate 3, so that the two storage cages are kept in the new position, thereby realizing the adjustment of the overall space size.
[0033] When it is necessary to subdivide the storage space, additional baffles can be inserted into the slots of the first partition 8 and the second partition 13 to form multiple independent small spaces to accommodate the classified storage of goods of different sizes and shapes. When a larger continuous space is needed, the partitions can be split to obtain a spacious storage area. The adjustment groove 7 at the bottom of the inner cavity of the second storage cage 2 cooperates with the connecting pull plate 6. During the adjustment of the distance between the first storage cage 1 and the second storage cage 2, the connecting pull plate 6 slides in the adjustment groove 7 through the slider, and the bottom always remains connected and synchronized, which enhances the stability of the overall structure and avoids shaking or disengagement during the space adjustment process. When storing goods, when the goods come into contact with the left side of the second partition 13 and generate pressure, the support springs 10 at the front and rear ends of the left side of the second partition 13 will be squeezed and deformed, converting the impact force of the goods into the elastic potential energy of the spring, which plays a buffering role.
