Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pet supplies technology and relates to a side panel assembly structure for a dog kennel. Background Technology

[0002] Patent application number CN202421507799.9 discloses a pet cage that is easy to assemble, including a base with a collection hopper movably installed inside the base via a snap-fit ​​mechanism; a splicing assembly fixedly installed on the top of the base; wherein the splicing assembly includes side column portions and splicing portions; and a fixing assembly disposed on the top of the base; wherein the fixing assembly includes a top plate portion and a fixing portion; the side column portions include side columns with splicing grooves inside; and two side plates (side plate two and side plate three) are fixedly installed on both sides, the plate fitting into the splicing grooves and snap-fitting between the plate and the splicing grooves.

[0003] The above-mentioned pet cage is easy to assemble, but it still has some shortcomings: each side panel is positioned by the interlocking slots on the side posts through the cooperation of the clamps. However, when the pet cage is subjected to impact, especially external pressure, one end of the clamp is easy to come out of the interlocking slot. If it continues to bear the load, the entire clamp will gradually detach from the side post from one end to the other, causing the pet cage to change shape and lose its protective function. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This utility model addresses the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by providing a side panel assembly structure for a dog kennel. The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is: how to balance the ease of connection and the stability of the dog kennel's shape.

[0005] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A side panel assembly structure for a doghouse includes a base plate, several side panels, and several vertically arranged columns. The columns and side panels are located on the upper side of the base plate, and the side panels are connected to the base plate. The assembly structure includes slots located on the outer side of the columns and arranged vertically in a strip shape. Each column has at least two slots. The column is hollow and tubular. Several vertically spaced plates are integrally connected between the two opposing inner walls of the slots. Several vertically spaced locking blocks are integrally connected to both horizontal sides of the side panels. Both horizontal sides of the side panels are inserted into the slots, and the locking blocks are simultaneously inserted between adjacent vertical panels.

[0007] The side panels and uprights work together to form a protective space for dogs to lie down, encircling the base plate. This is achieved by installing a few vertically arranged, strip-shaped slots on the outside of the uprights, with vertically spaced panels between the two inner walls of the slots. Simultaneously, vertically spaced locking blocks are installed on both sides of the side panels in the horizontal direction. This allows the side panels to be inserted into the slots, while the locking blocks are sequentially inserted between the vertical panels to create a positioning system. During assembly, the two sides of the side panel are inserted into the slots of the two uprights, and then the lower part of the side panel is connected to the base plate to complete the assembly. At the same time as the side panel is inserted into the slot, the locking blocks are also inserted between the uprights. That is, the assembly of the side panel and the uprights can be completed through the same insertion action. Compared with the existing technology, there are no additional operation steps, ensuring the convenience of assembly. Moreover, the side panel is positioned and constrained by the inner wall of the slot, making its normal position stable and reliable. At the same time, the side panel and the uprights are connected by multiple vertically spaced locking blocks. Each locking block is an independent connection unit, which avoids the situation where the vertical side of the entire side panel is pulled out of place and fails due to impact deformation in a local position, effectively ensuring the stability of the overall structural shape of the doghouse.

[0008] In the aforementioned dog kennel side panel assembly structure, both the upper and lower ends of the slot are closed, and gaps are left between the upper and lower edges of the side panel and the inner wall of the slot. This allows the inner walls at both the upper and lower ends of the slot to provide rough positioning for the side panel when inserted into the slot. After the side panel is inserted, its vertical movement is very limited, and the surface locking blocks are essentially misaligned with the vertical panels. Only minor adjustments are needed for accurate insertion. This allows operators to quickly position and assemble the panel even when they cannot directly observe the misalignment between the locking blocks and the vertical panels, improving assembly efficiency and convenience.

[0009] In the aforementioned dog kennel side panel assembly structure, the top surface of the upright has a downward-facing through-hole that connects to the slot. This allows operators to identify the actual insertion position of the locking blocks during assembly by using the fixed through-hole, facilitating judgment of proper assembly and improving assembly convenience.

[0010] In the aforementioned side panel assembly structure of the doghouse, the upright has an L-shaped cross-section, and the two slots are located on both sides of the upright. Several triangular, vertically spaced reinforcing ribs are integrally connected to the inner corner of the upright. This ensures the stability of the upright structure while preventing the formation of an inwardly protruding structure on the inner side of the upright, thus avoiding scratches and injuries to the dog while it is moving around in the doghouse.

[0011] In the aforementioned doghouse side panel assembly structure, the vertical plates located in different slots of the same upright are vertically staggered. This facilitates a more uniform vertical distribution of the connection positions between the same upright and the locking blocks on different side plates, preventing excessive local loads on the upright during compression deformation and thus improving structural stability.

[0012] In the aforementioned side panel assembly structure of the dog kennel, the outer edge of the locking block is chamfered. This provides guidance from the chamfered surface during the insertion of the locking block into the socket, making the insertion process smoother and more convenient.

[0013] In the aforementioned side panel assembly structure of the doghouse, a wedge-shaped elastic locking head is integrally connected to the side of the locking block, with the larger end of the elastic locking head facing the inner wall of the upright. This allows the smaller end of the elastic locking head to deform inward under the pressure of the inner wall of the slot during the locking block insertion process, ensuring smooth insertion. After the locking block is fully inserted, the larger end of the elastic locking head abuts against the inner wall of the upright, preventing the locking block from dislodging and ensuring stable assembly.

[0014] In the aforementioned side panel assembly structure of the dog kennel, each side panel has a plurality of horizontally arranged positioning blocks integrally connected to its lower edge. The upper side of the base plate has a plurality of positioning holes, into which the positioning blocks are inserted. Thus, after the side panel is assembled with the uprights, it forms a frame shape. When moved downwards, the positioning blocks are inserted into the positioning holes on the upper side of the base plate to achieve a connection between the entire assembly and the base plate, ensuring the stability of the side panel's horizontal position and facilitating operation.

[0015] In the aforementioned doghouse side panel assembly structure, both the side panel and the uprights are integrally injection molded parts. This helps ensure the overall structural strength of the side panel and uprights, and also helps reduce the number of assembly parts and simplify the assembly process.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] The side panel assembly structure of this doghouse eliminates the need for additional steps during side panel assembly compared to existing technologies, ensuring ease of assembly. Furthermore, the entire side panel is positioned and constrained by the inner wall of the slot, ensuring stable and reliable normal positioning. The side panel is connected to the uprights via multiple vertical locking blocks, each an independent connection unit. This prevents the side panel from dislodging and failing due to impact deformation in a localized area, effectively guaranteeing the overall structural stability of the doghouse.
