[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4As shown, a foldable stainless steel pet cage includes a support plate 1 and a top plate 2. Symmetrical lower folding plates 3 and upper folding plates 4 are hinged to each other on the sides of the support plate 1 and top plate 2 via pins. The sides of the two lower folding plates 3 and two upper folding plates 4 are also hinged to each other via pins. Symmetrical fasteners 5 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two upper folding plates 4 that are far apart from each other. Buckles 6, which are compatible with the two fasteners 5, are fixedly connected to the sides of the two lower folding plates 3 that are far apart from each other. Symmetrical limiting blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two upper folding plates 4 and two lower folding plates 3 that are close together. Pin holes 8 are provided on the sides of the two limiting blocks 7 that are close together. Positioning pins 9 are slidably connected inside the two pin holes 8. Two sets of positioning holes 10 are provided on the sides of the support plate 1 and top plate 2 that are close together. Positioning posts 11 are slidably connected inside each positioning hole 10. 1. Side panels 12 are fixedly connected to each other on the adjacent sides. With the above scheme, when the pet cage needs to be folded, simply fold the upper folding plate 4 and the lower folding plate 3 towards the support plate 1 and the top plate 2 respectively, until the buckle 5 and the buckle 6 are engaged. At this time, pull out the positioning pin 9 from the pin hole 8 and insert it into the corresponding positioning hole 10, so that the side panel 12 fits against the support plate 1 and the top plate 2, thus realizing the folding and storage of the pet cage, which greatly saves space. When the pet cage needs to be used, simply pull out the positioning pin 9 from the positioning hole 10, and then unfold the upper folding plate 4 and the lower folding plate 3 respectively, until the limit block 7 abuts against each other. Then insert the positioning pin 9 into the pin hole 8, thus realizing the unfolding and use of the pet cage. The operation is simple and convenient. In addition, the pet cage is made of stainless steel, which is sturdy, durable and not easy to rust, ensuring the service life of the pet cage and the health and safety of the pet.

[0022] Multiple sets of equidistant ventilation holes 13 are provided on the side of the two upper folding plates 4 that are far apart from each other and on the side of the two side baffles 12 that are far apart from each other. By setting ventilation holes 13, the air circulation inside the pet cage can be increased, providing sufficient oxygen for the pet. The left and right sides of the top plate 2 and the left and right sides of the support plate 1 are fixedly connected with symmetrical connecting blocks 14. Each connecting block 14 has a connecting hole 15 on its upper surface. The top plate 2 is detachably connected to the support plate 1 through the connecting blocks 14 and the connecting holes 15. This design not only facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the pet cage, but also makes it easy to carry the pet cage. The top plate 2 has a storage cavity 16 inside. The front of the storage cavity 16 is fixedly connected with a sealing plate 17 by fasteners. The storage cavity 16 facilitates the storage of assembled parts such as the side baffles 12.

[0023] One of the side panels 12 has a cage door 18 hinged to its front. The cage door 18 has a groove 19 on its front. The cage door 18 is hinged to the side panel 12 and can be opened and closed flexibly, making it convenient for the owner to enter and exit the pet cage at any time to take care of the pet. A handle 20 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the top plate 2. A protective cover is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the handle 20. The design of the handle 20 makes it easy for the user to pick up the pet cage. Symmetrical support columns 21 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the support plate 1. A base 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each support column 21. The base 22 increases the stability of the pet cage when it is placed and prevents the pet cage from tipping over when the pet moves inside the cage.

[0024] Working principle: When the pet cage needs to be folded for storage, pull out the positioning pin 9 from the pin hole 8 and positioning hole 10 to release the restriction on the upper folding plate 4 and lower folding plate 3, and release the buckle 6 from the buckle block 5 to release the fixation on the upper folding plate 4 and lower folding plate 3. At this time, the upper folding plate 4 and lower folding plate 3 can be rotated around the pin shaft to fold them towards the support plate 1 and top plate 2 until the upper folding plate 4 is attached to the upper surface of the support plate 1 and the lower folding plate 3 is attached to the lower surface of the top plate 2. Then, the positioning post 11 can be pulled out from the positioning hole 10, and the side baffle 12 can be rotated around the positioning post 11 until the side baffle 12 is attached to the outer side of the support plate 1 or top plate 2, completing the folding and storage of the pet cage. The folded pet cage is compact, easy to carry and store, and greatly saves storage space.
