Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mammalian breeding technology, specifically a foldable breeding cage for mammalian breeding. Background Technology

[0002] Mammal breeding cages are cages specifically designed for the breeding stage of mammals. Their core function is to provide animals with a safe and controllable breeding environment. Therefore, they are widely used in pet breeding, laboratory research, and farm breeding. However, when existing breeding cages are used to assist mammals in breeding, they are not very practical because they are basically one-piece structures and cannot be folded and stored. This makes it inconvenient to carry and transport the breeding cages later.

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the existing technology 1 (Chinese patent application number CN200920106011.2, application date 2009-02-27) animal breeding cage uses foldable cage walls and an assembled cage wall and base, which can be placed in a small space when not in use; it has no top surface, allowing direct observation of the animal mother and offspring from above, and it is also convenient to remove the offspring; being assembled, the base is easy to replace, facilitating the maintenance of the cage environment; it is very convenient to transport and move. Although the existing technology can achieve folding and storage of the cage walls, most of them are fixed by screws when the cage walls are actually folded and flipped for use. However, this fixing method is very time-consuming and laborious, reducing the convenience of using the breeding cage. Therefore, the foldable breeding cage for mammals is proposed, which can effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable breeding cage for mammals, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that most breeding cages on the market are fixed by screws, which is very time-consuming and laborious to operate, reducing the ease of use of the breeding cage.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a foldable breeding cage for mammals, comprising a base plate and four positioning frames disposed above the base plate. A horizontal plate is also disposed above the four positioning frames. A set of casters is disposed below the base plate. Two first guardrails and two second guardrails are respectively rotatably mounted on the upper part of the horizontal plate via hinges. Bolts are provided at the connection between the first guardrails and the second guardrails. Two limiting blocks are slidably installed inside the second guardrails, and the outer ends of the two limiting blocks extend through into the interior of the first guardrails.

[0006] Preferably, the interior of the second guardrail is connected to one end of two energy storage springs, and the two energy storage springs have the same structure, and the other end of the two energy storage springs is connected to a limit block.

[0007] Preferably, two levers are slidably mounted on the top of the second guardrail via two return springs, and the two levers are symmetrically arranged about the vertical center line of the second guardrail, with the top of the two levers extending through to the outer side of the second guardrail.

[0008] Preferably, the two levers are connected to a second pull rope on the side of the second guardrail, and the two second pull ropes are connected to a limit block via a guide wheel.

[0009] Preferably, two mounting seats are symmetrically installed on the top of the base plate, and the two mounting seats are provided with liquid storage air bladders inside. The two liquid storage air bladders are sealed and connected to steel air pipes through delivery hoses. Two of the steel air pipes are installed on the top of the base plate, and a row of atomizing nozzles is provided above the two steel air pipes. The two rows of atomizing nozzles are in an inclined shape.

[0010] Preferably, the two first guardrails are connected to the bottom of the first pull ropes, and the two first pull ropes are connected to the compression plates through guide wheels. The two compression plates are slidably installed inside the two mounting seats, and the outer sides of the two compression plates are respectively equipped with liquid storage airbags.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting base has two compression springs symmetrically arranged at one end, and the other end of the two compression springs is connected to a compression plate.

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

[0013] By using two first guardrails and two second guardrails that are respectively rotatably installed above the horizontal plate, the cage walls of the breeding cage can be folded and stored when needed. Simply flip the two first guardrails over and fold them above the horizontal plate, and then flip the two second guardrails over and fold them above the horizontal plate. This makes the operation more convenient, time-saving, and practical.

[0014] The cage is designed so that when the first and second guardrails are used together for animal breeding, the two second guardrails can be flipped over first, allowing the limiting blocks installed inside the two second guardrails via two spring-loaded mechanisms to extend into the positioning frame. This positions and fixes the two second guardrails after flipping them over, preventing them from loosening and falling over during later use. Then, the two first guardrails are flipped over so that they are parallel to the two second guardrails. At this point, the two first guardrails are positioned on the outside of the two second guardrails using two bolts, thus achieving better stability and positioning of the cage walls.

[0015] Furthermore, when it is necessary to fold and store the two second guardrails, simply press the two levers to retract them. The two retracting levers then drive the two second pull ropes through the guide wheels to pull the two limit blocks to retract, thereby separating the second guardrails from the positioning frame. Then, remove the bolts to separate the first guardrails from the second guardrails. After that, the two first guardrails and the two second guardrails can be folded and stored, making the operation more time-saving and labor-saving.

[0016] Equipped with atomizing nozzles, the system utilizes two mounting bases located above the base plate. Inside each mounting base is a liquid-retaining air bladder. When the two first guardrails are folded and stored, the disinfectant stored in the two air bladders can be delivered through two flexible hoses to a row of atomizing nozzles mounted on two steel air pipes for atomized spraying. This disinfects the area under the crossboard, preventing bacterial growth at the bottom of the crossboard and thus avoiding its impact on the subsequent breeding and use of animals.

[0017] Furthermore, when the two first guardrails are folded and flipped, the first pull ropes connected to the bottom of the two first guardrails will pull the two extrusion plates inside the two mounting seats through the guide wheels. In this way, the extrusion plates can be squeezed to deliver the disinfectant stored in the liquid storage bladder to a row of atomizing nozzles for spraying disinfection, thereby improving the hygiene of the breeding cage.

[0025] 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.

[0026] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a foldable breeding cage for mammals.

[0027] Example 1: To address the issue that most existing breeding cages are fixed using screws, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, reducing the ease of use of the breeding cage, the following solution is disclosed: a base plate 1, and four positioning frames 4 positioned above the base plate 1. A horizontal plate 2 is also positioned above the four positioning frames 4. Casters 3 are positioned below the base plate 1. Two first guardrails 5 and two second guardrails 6 are rotatably mounted on the top of the horizontal plate 2 via hinges. Bolts 7 are provided at the connection between the first guardrails 5 and the second guardrails 6. Two limiting blocks 9 are slidably installed inside the second guardrails 6, and the outer ends of the two limiting blocks 9 extend through into the interior of the first guardrails 5.

[0028] The interior of the second guardrail 6 is connected to one end of two energy storage springs 10, and the two energy storage springs 10 have the same structure. The other end of the two energy storage springs 10 is connected to a limit block 9. Two toggle blocks 11 are slidably installed on the top of the second guardrail 6 via two reset springs 13. The two toggle blocks 11 are symmetrically arranged about the vertical center line of the second guardrail 6, and the top of the two toggle blocks 11 extends through to the outside of the second guardrail 6. The side of the two toggle blocks 11 near the second guardrail 6 is connected to a second pull rope 12, and the two second pull ropes 12 are connected to the limit block 9 via guide wheels.

[0029] like Figures 1-4As shown, when the cage walls of the breeding cage need to be folded and stored, simply press the two levers 11 to retract and move them. Then, the two retracting levers 11 drive the two second pull ropes 12 to pull the two limit blocks 9 through the guide wheels to retract and move them. This allows the second guardrail 6 to separate from the positioning frame 4. Then, remove the bolts 7 to separate the first guardrail 5 from the second guardrail 6. After that, the two first guardrails 5 and the two second guardrails 6 can be folded and stored, thus achieving the folding and storage of the cage walls, which is more practical.

[0030] When the first guardrail 5 and the second guardrail 6 are needed for animal breeding, simply flip the two second guardrails 6 first, so that the two second guardrails 6 extend into the interior of the positioning frame 4 through the limiting blocks 9 installed by the two storage springs 10. This can fix the two second guardrails 6 after flipping, preventing them from loosening and falling over during later use. Then flip the two first guardrails 5 parallel to the two second guardrails 6. At this time, the two first guardrails 5 are positioned on the outside of the two second guardrails 6 by the two bolts 7, which can achieve the positioning and fixation of the cage wall, resulting in better stability.

[0031] Example 2 differs from Example 1 in that, while the first guardrail 5 is folded and stored, the disinfectant stored inside the liquid-filled airbags 18 can be sprayed through a row of liquid-filled airbags 18 onto the underside of the horizontal plate 2 to disinfect the breeding cage and prevent bacteria from growing on the bottom of the horizontal plate 2, thus affecting the subsequent breeding and use of the animals. The following is disclosed:

[0032] Two mounting bases 14 are symmetrically installed on the top of the base plate 1, and the interior of the two mounting bases 14 is provided with liquid storage airbags 18. The two liquid storage airbags 18 are sealed and connected to steel air pipes 16 through delivery hoses 15. The two steel air pipes 16 are installed on the top of the base plate 1, and a row of atomizing nozzles 17 is arranged above the two steel air pipes 16. The two rows of atomizing nozzles 17 are inclined. The bottom of the two first guardrails 5 is connected to the first pull ropes 8, and the two first pull ropes 8 are connected to the extrusion plates 19 through guide wheels. The two extrusion plates 19 are slidably installed inside the two mounting bases 14. The liquid storage airbags 18 are located on the outer side of the two extrusion plates 19. One end of two compression springs 20 is symmetrically arranged inside the mounting base 14, and the other end of the two compression springs 20 is connected to the extrusion plates 19.

[0033] like Figures 1-6As shown, when the two first guardrails 5 are folded and flipped, the first pull ropes 8 connected to the bottom of the two first guardrails 5 will pull the two compression plates 19 inside the two mounting seats 14 through the guide wheels. This allows the disinfectant stored in the liquid storage bag 18 to be delivered to a row of atomizing nozzles 17 for spraying disinfection by squeezing the compression plates 19, which improves the hygiene of the breeding cage. Then, the two compression springs 20 can elastically reset the position of the compression plates 19 after squeezing and moving, so as to facilitate repeated squeezing and disinfection in the future, making it more practical.

[0034] The above is the entire working process of the device, and all contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0035] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
