Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet door technology, specifically a wall-mounted pet door. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, more and more people regard pets as important family members and pay more attention to their pets' quality of life and freedom of movement. The emergence of pet doors provides pets with a way to enter and exit the house independently, satisfying their natural instinct to move freely, while also making life more convenient for owners and reducing the inconvenience caused by frequently opening and closing doors for pets. A pet door is a small door installed on the doors, windows, or walls of a house, specifically designed for pets to enter and exit.

[0003] In a home environment, pet doors are typically installed on doors, windows, or walls, serving as a passageway between indoors and outdoors. Pets can freely enter and exit the yard or garden through pet doors to engage in outdoor activities such as playing, sunbathing, and relieving themselves, without the need for the owner to constantly open the door. This not only allows pets to enjoy more freedom and fresh air but also helps them maintain an appropriate level of exercise, promoting their physical health.

[0004] However, because the connection between the pet door and the curtain is a rigid connection, meaning the curtain is locked to the door with screws, the connection between the curtain and the door is prone to breakage as the pet goes through and out more frequently, reducing the lifespan of the curtain and even the pet door itself.

[0005] Regarding the existing related technologies, the inventor believes that there are the following defects: In the existing technology, the door curtain is impacted when the pet enters and exits the door. Since the door curtain is locked to the door with screws, the connection part of the door curtain to the door is prone to breakage as the usage time increases and the number of times the pet enters and exits increases, which reduces the service life of the door curtain and even the pet door. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the technical problem that existing door curtains are prone to breakage due to increased use and pets entering and exiting more frequently, thus reducing the lifespan of the door curtain and even the pet door itself, this utility model provides a wall-mounted pet door.

[0007] This utility model adopts the following technical solution: a wall-mounted pet door, including a front door and a rear door. The rear door is located inside the wall. The front door consists of a sheet metal door, a curtain, and a sheet metal frame. The curtain is rotatably connected to the inside of the sheet metal frame. A rotating bracket is installed in the top slot of the sheet metal frame. The bottom of the rotating bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the curtain. The sheet metal door is movably connected to the outside of the sheet metal frame. A door lock is provided at the top of the sheet metal frame for locking the sheet metal door. The front door mainly consists of a sheet metal door, a door lock, a sealing strip, a curtain, a sheet metal frame, upper and lower magnetic attraction, a curtain fixing plate, and insulation cotton. The sheet metal frame is the mounting carrier of the entire front door. The curtain is made of soft PVC material and is fixedly hung on the sheet metal frame. The curtain can rotate at a certain angle while being fixed on the sheet metal frame, making it easier and more convenient for pets to enter and exit. This greatly reduces the impact on the curtain during pet entry and exit and extends the service life of the curtain during long-term opening and closing bending.

[0008] Preferably, a curtain fixing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the curtain. The curtain fixing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the sheet metal frame. The curtain fixing plate is a front and rear clamping plate for fixing the curtain to the sheet metal frame, and plays a fixing and clamping role.

[0009] Preferably, a sealing strip is fixedly connected to the outer side of the sheet metal frame, and the inner side of the door curtain is in contact with the sealing strip. The sealing strip achieves a seal between the door curtain and the sheet metal frame when the door curtain is closed, reducing the convection of hot and cold air into the indoor environment and playing a certain role in heat preservation.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom inner side of the sheet metal frame is fixedly connected with upper and lower magnetic magnets. The upper and lower magnetic magnets are magnetically connected to the bottom of the curtain. When the curtain is in a natural vertical downward state, the part of the upper and lower magnetic magnets fixed in the sheet metal frame moves upward under the action of magnetic force and attracts the magnets fixed at the bottom of the curtain, thereby achieving a sealing effect at the lower part between the curtain and the sheet metal frame and preventing hot and cold air from entering the indoor environment.

[0011] Preferably, one side of the door curtain is provided with thermal insulation cotton, and the top of the thermal insulation cotton is fixedly connected to the inside of the door curtain fixing plate. Increasing the thermal insulation layer not only helps the door curtain to isolate indoor and outdoor air convection, but also effectively maintains the indoor ambient temperature.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] In use, this utility model features a door curtain that is fixedly suspended from the top of a sheet metal frame. A rotating bracket rotates back and forth within a slot in the sheet metal frame. The door curtain is fixed to the rotating bracket, and when a pet enters or exits, the door curtain rotates together with the rotating bracket. The installation of the door curtain with an increased rotation angle reduces the curvature of the door curtain, greatly reducing the impact on the door curtain during pet entry and exit and extending the lifespan of the door curtain.

The door lock 4 is used to lock the sheet metal door 3.

[0021] The pet door mainly consists of two parts: front door 1 and back door 2. Front door 1 is installed on one side of the wall outside, and back door 2 is installed on the other side of the wall inside. By opening installation holes of the appropriate size in the wall, the front and back doors are installed on the inside and outside of the wall, making it convenient for pets to enter and exit. This device is widely applicable and suitable for installation and use on various wall specifications with wall thicknesses between 12 and 18.5 cm.

[0022] Secondly, the front door 1 is mainly composed of sheet metal door 3, door lock 4, sealing strip 5, door curtain 6, sheet metal frame 7, upper and lower magnetic attraction 8, door curtain fixing plate 9, and insulation cotton 10; the sheet metal frame 7 is the installation support of the entire front door, and the door curtain 6 is made of soft PVC material and is fixedly hung on the sheet metal frame 7, making it easier and more convenient for pets to enter and exit. The installation of the door curtain 6 adopts an increased rotation angle, which can reduce the curvature of the door curtain and greatly reduce the impact on the door curtain during the pet's entry and exit process, thus increasing the service life of the door curtain during long-term opening and closing bending.

[0023] The rotating bracket 11 passes through the corresponding mounting slot of the sheet metal frame 7. It can rotate 68° back and forth inside the slot of the sheet metal frame 7. The door curtain 6 is fixed on the rotating bracket 11. When the pet enters or exits, the door curtain 6 and the rotating bracket 11 rotate together and deform and warp to allow the pet to enter or exit.

[0024] Furthermore, rotating and pulling the door lock 4 can open the door lock, lift the sheet metal door 3 and fix it to the door lock, allowing the pet to enter and exit freely. Rotating and pulling the door lock 4 again can lower the sheet metal door 3 and fix it inside the sheet metal frame 7, thus preventing the pet from entering and exiting.

[0025] Meanwhile, the rear door 2 can also be equipped with sheet metal door 3, door lock 4, sealing strip 5, door curtain 6, sheet metal frame 7, upper and lower magnetic attraction 8, door curtain fixing plate 9, insulation cotton 10. With the addition of configuration, both the front and rear doors can control the entry and exit of pets.

[0028] Furthermore, the bottom inner side of the sheet metal frame 7 is fixedly connected with upper and lower magnetic magnets 8. The upper and lower magnetic magnets 8 are magnetically connected to the bottom of the curtain 6. Part of the upper and lower magnetic magnets 8 is fixed to the lower end of the curtain 6, and part of it moves freely inside the sheet metal frame 7. When the curtain is in a natural vertical downward state, the part of the upper and lower magnetic magnets 8 fixed in the sheet metal frame 7 moves upward under the action of magnetic force and attracts the magnets fixed to the lower end of the curtain 6, thereby achieving a sealing effect between the lower part of the curtain 6 and the sheet metal frame 7. The upper and lower magnetic magnets 8 seal the curtain 6 and the sheet metal frame 7, reduce air convection, and prevent hot and cold air from entering the indoor environment.

[0029] Furthermore, one side of the curtain 6 is provided with insulation cotton 10, and the top of the insulation cotton 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of the curtain fixing plate 9. The addition of the insulation layer insulation cotton 10 not only isolates the indoor and outdoor air convection, but also effectively maintains the indoor ambient temperature.

[0030] Working principle: The door curtain 6 is installed on the sheet metal frame 7, which serves as the mounting support for the entire front door. The door curtain 6 is made of soft PVC material and is fixedly suspended on the top of the sheet metal frame 7. The rotating bracket 11 passes through the corresponding mounting groove on the sheet metal frame 7 and can rotate 68° forward and backward inside the groove of the sheet metal frame 7. The door curtain 6 is fixed on the rotating bracket 11. When a pet enters or exits, the door curtain 6 and the rotating bracket 11 rotate together and deform and warp to allow the pet to enter or exit. The installation of the door curtain 6 adopts an increased rotation angle, which can reduce the curvature of the door curtain and greatly reduce the impact on the door curtain during the pet's entry and exit, thus increasing the service life of the door curtain during long-term opening and closing bending.
