Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pet cage technology, and in particular relates to a high-strength pet cage. Background Technology

[0002] For the development of cages for certain breeds of pet dogs (such as Alaskan Malamutes and Rottweilers, which require high levels of activity), traditional injection molding processes face a dual technical challenge: On the one hand, the increased space requirements due to the growing size of dogs conflict with the decrease in the mechanical properties of injection-molded parts. When the cage width increases significantly, the strength of the conventional injection-molded layer structure decreases due to its larger size. On the other hand, existing reinforcement solutions mostly adopt simple geometric superposition designs, such as indiscriminately thickening the wall panels or repeatedly setting reinforcing ribs, which increases production costs. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a high-strength pet cage is provided.

[0004] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a high-strength pet cage, including shelves located on the upper and lower sides of the pet cage, and side panels, back panels and door panels fixed between the shelves;

[0005] The shelf is formed by splicing at least two splicing plates together with connectors. The splicing plates are provided with grooves extending along the side length of the splicing area on both the upper and lower sides. The connectors include a plate body and insert strips provided on both sides of the plate body. An anti-detachment fixing structure is provided between the insert strips and the grooves.

[0006] When splicing panels are joined, the two insertion strips are respectively inserted into the grooves of the two splicing panels to be joined. The panels are flush with the upper surface of the layer, so that the joints of the splicing panels remain flat.

[0007] In this solution, the shelf is made up of at least two splicing plates spliced ​​together by connectors, so that the shelf is not a one-piece injection molded setting. This can avoid the decrease in strength caused by the large size of a single injection molded shelf. At the same time, this method does not require excessive thickening of the splicing plates or repeated setting of reinforcing ribs, which can save production costs.

[0008] The anti-detachment fixing structure is designed to prevent the connector from detaching from the groove after it has been inserted. The anti-detachment fixing structure can be an interference fit, a snap-fit, or other fixing structure.

[0009] Preferably, the anti-detachment fixing structure is provided between the groove wall and the outer wall of the connector strip. The anti-detachment fixing structure includes a laterally extending limiting protrusion and a limiting groove that cooperates with the limiting protrusion.

[0010] When the connector strip is inserted into the groove, the limiting protrusion will engage with the limiting groove, thereby preventing the connector strip from detaching from the groove. The limiting protrusion can be located on the connector strip or on the groove wall; the limiting groove can be located on the groove wall or on the connector strip.

[0011] Preferably, a positioning structure is provided between the groove and the connector strip. The positioning structure includes a positioning element that is disposed on the outer wall of the connector strip and extends laterally. The groove wall is provided with a positioning groove that has a lateral opening and penetrates the upper or lower surface of the splicing plate. The positioning groove and the positioning element cooperate with each other.

[0012] The positioning structure can define the position between the connector strip and the groove.

[0013] Preferably, the side plate and the layer plate are interlocked, and the upper and lower ends of the side plate are provided with interlocking parts of the same size as the interlocking strip, and the interlocking parts are interlocked with the groove.

[0014] The connectors and grooves can also be plugged in for better versatility. The grooves can be used not only to connect shelves but also to fix side panels, further enhancing versatility.

[0015] Preferably, the anti-detachment fixing structure is provided between the outer wall of the connector and the groove wall of the groove.

[0016] The anti-detachment fixing structure can also prevent the side plates from detaching and fix the shelves, making it more versatile.

[0017] Preferably, a fixing structure is provided between two adjacent connecting members;

[0018] The fixing structure includes a through hole on the connector that extends through the connector in the vertical direction; the bolt passes through the through holes of both connectors and then engages with the nut threadedly; or

[0019] The fixing structure includes mating posts on the connector, the mating posts extending vertically and having internal threaded holes, the bolts passing through the internal threaded holes of the two mating posts and threadedly engaging with the internal threaded holes.

[0020] The above method can achieve the fixation between the two connectors, ensuring that the connectors will not detach from the splicing plate after fixation, thereby ensuring the strength of the entire layer.

[0021] Preferably, the lower surface of the splicing plate is provided with a mounting groove, and a reinforcing rod is installed in the mounting groove.

[0022] By installing reinforcing bars on the lower surface of the splicing panel, the splicing panel can be further strengthened, thereby further enhancing the strength of the layer.

[0023] Preferably, the splicing plate has continuously distributed corrugated reinforcing protrusions on the outer surface of the side where the groove is located, and the extending direction of the corrugated reinforcing protrusions is parallel to the extending direction of the groove.

[0024] The connector is used to join two panels together, so the sides of the connector will be stressed. By adding corrugated reinforcing protrusions to the outer surface of the side, the strength of the side can be strengthened to improve the connection strength of the panels.

[0025] Preferably, a first roller is provided below the bottom shelf, and a second roller is fixed on the lower side of the connector below the bottom shelf. When the connector connects the splicing plates, the bottom of the second roller on the connector is flush with the bottom of the first roller, and together they provide rolling support for the bottom shelf.

[0026] The second roller is directly installed on the connector, eliminating the need for additional rollers at the connection point of the shelf, and the shelf can be directly supported.

[0027] Preferably, each of the splicing panels is paired with a door panel, and the door panel is rotatably connected to the splicing panel. Rotary latches are provided on the side walls at both the top and bottom ends of the splicing panel. The rotary latches can block or allow the door panel to pass by rotating.

[0028] Each panel is paired with a door panel, thus preventing individual door panels from being made too large and ensuring that the door panels also have good strength, thereby improving the overall strength of the pet cage.

[0029] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: the shelf is made of at least two splicing plates joined together by connectors, so that the shelf is not integrally injection molded, which can ensure the strength of the pet cage and avoid the strength reduction caused by the excessive size of a single injection-molded shelf. At the same time, this method does not require excessive thickening of the splicing plates or repeated reinforcement, which can save production costs. Attached Figure Description

The back panel 5 is located on the back side of the pet cage, and the door panel 3 is located on the front side of the pet cage.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 6 as well as Figure 8 As shown, shelf 1 is formed by splicing two panels 11 together with connector 2. The long side of panel 11 is spliced ​​to the long side of the other panel 11 through connector 2, thereby increasing the width of shelf 1. Grooves 12 extending along the length of the splice joint are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the splice joint. Connector 2 is elongated and includes a plate body 21 and insert strips 22 on both sides of the plate body 21.

[0047] A fixing structure is provided between two adjacent connecting parts 2. The fixing structure includes mating posts 23 on the plate 21 of the connecting part 2. The mating posts 23 extend vertically and have internal threaded holes. Bolts 26 pass through the internal threads of the two mating posts 23 and are threaded into the internal threaded holes. Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the fixing structure may also include through holes (not shown in the figure) on the connecting part 2 that extend vertically through the plate of the connecting part. Bolts 26 pass through the through holes of the two connecting parts and are threaded into nuts.

[0048] The splicing panel 11 has continuously distributed corrugated reinforcing protrusions 15 on the outer surface of the side where the groove 12 is located. The extending direction of the corrugated reinforcing protrusions 15 is parallel to the extending direction of the groove 12.

[0049] A reinforcing rib 82 is provided on the lower surface of the splicing plate 11, and an installation groove is also provided on the lower surface. The installation groove is formed by multiple connecting ears 81 arranged side by side and spaced apart along the front and back direction of the splicing plate 11. A reinforcing rod 8 is installed in the installation groove and is fixed to the connecting ears 81 by screws.

[0050] like Figure 9 As shown, a mesh 42 is provided at the center of the side plate 4; the side plate 4 and the layer plate 1 are interlocked, and the upper and lower ends of the side plate 4 are provided with interlocking parts 41 of the same size as the interlocking strip 22, which are interlocked with the groove 12. A limiting groove 24 is also provided on the outer wall of the interlocking part 41.

[0051] like Figure 7As shown, the bottom shelf 1 is provided with first rollers 71 at the four corners below, and the bottom of the connector 2 is fixed with second rollers 72 on the lower side of the plate 21. When the connector 2 connects the splicing plate 11, the bottom of the second roller 72 on the connector 2 is flush with the bottom of the first roller 71, and together they provide rolling support for the bottom shelf 1.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, each splicing panel 11 is paired with a door panel 3. The door panel 3 and the splicing panel 11 are connected by a pivot. The upper and lower side walls of the splicing panel 11 are provided with rotating latches 6. The rotating latches 6 are bone-shaped and can block or allow the door panel 3 by rotating.

[0053] like Figure 10 As shown, the back plate 5 has frame ribs 51 forming its frame, and the rear side of the shelf 1 is provided with slots (not shown in the figure) that open downward and upward for engaging the frame ribs 51. The slots are provided with buckles to limit the movement of the frame ribs 51.

[0054] like Figure 11 As shown, when the size of the pet cage needs to be made larger, the shelf 1 can be spliced ​​together using three splicing boards 11.
