[0035] 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.

[0036] Example

[0037] like Figure 1-9 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model proposes a flip-top pet bed, comprising: a box body 1; a skylight 2 disposed on the top of the box body 1, the skylight 2 being selectively flipped or completely separated from the box body 1 by a double-sided elastic latch mechanism 4, the skylight 2 being made of transparent or semi-transparent acrylic material; and a door 3 disposed at one end of the box body 1, the door 3 being selectively flipped or completely separated from the box body 1 by a double-sided elastic latch mechanism 5.

[0038] like Figure 1-9 As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the box body 1 is provided with a skylight hole 11 for installing the skylight 2, and the two sides of the inner wall of the skylight hole 11 are provided with insertion holes 12. The two sides of the skylight 2 are provided with button grooves 21, and the bottom of the two sides of the inner wall of the skylight hole 11 are provided with baffles 17 to support the skylight 2, which facilitates the connection of the pin 46 with the insertion hole 12.

[0039] The dual positioning mechanism ensures the stability of the sunroof 2. The precise fit between the socket 12 and the pin 46 effectively prevents accidental opening caused by pet collisions. The symmetrical button slot 21 is ergonomically designed and can be operated with two fingers of either hand, making operation more convenient. When the two buttons 43 on one side are squeezed, the pin 46 on that side retracts and releases its limit. The pin on the other side acts as a fulcrum for rotating the sunroof 2 to achieve ventilation. At the same time, when the buttons 43 on both sides are squeezed, all four pins 46 completely disengage from the socket 12, and the sunroof 2 can be removed vertically for thorough cleaning.

[0040] like Figure 1-9 As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic pin mechanism 4 is installed inside the button slot 21. The elastic pin mechanism 4 includes a button upper cover 41 and a button lower cover 42 respectively disposed inside and at the bottom of the button slot 21. The two ends of the button upper cover 41 are respectively engaged with the inside and one side of the button slot 21. Two buttons 43 are symmetrically arranged inside the button upper cover 41. A spring 44 is disposed between the two buttons 43. The bottom of the button 43 extends into the inside of the button lower cover 42 and is engaged with a pin 46 through a retainer 45. The end of the pin 46 away from the retainer 45 passes through the sunroof 2 and extends into the inside of the socket 12.

[0041] The single-sided dual-button design 43 further prevents accidental opening. Two fingers are needed to pinch both buttons 43 to completely disengage the two pins 46 from the socket 12, enabling the sunroof 2 to be opened by flipping it open from one side. The spring 44 automatically returns to its original position after the button 43 is released, making it more convenient to use. The end of the pin 46 that connects to the socket 12 is rounded, which makes it easier to insert the pin 46 into the socket 12 and reduces jamming.

[0042] like Figure 1-9 As shown, in some embodiments, sockets 14 are provided at the bottom and top of the door hole 13 at one end of the box body 1, and the door body 3 is disposed inside the door hole 13. The door body 3 includes a plurality of crisscrossing ribs 31.

[0043] The door 3 is welded together by several crisscrossing ribs 31. The rib structure of the door 3 ensures ventilation while forming a visual barrier to reduce stress on pets.

[0044] like Figure 1-9 As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic latch mechanism 2 5 includes a button front cover 51 and a button rear cover 52 respectively disposed on both sides of the door body 3. The button front cover 51 and the button rear cover 52 are opposite to each other and snapped together. The interior of the button front cover 51 is connected to two mutually symmetrical buttons 2 54 by a spring 2 53. One end of the button 2 54 extends to the button rear cover 52 and is snapped with a latch 2 56 by a latch seat 2 55. The end of the latch 2 56 away from the latch seat 2 55 extends into the interior of the socket 14.

[0045] One side of the door 3 is also provided with an L-shaped support 32, which is the same number as the second pin 56 and is movably connected to each other. This can guide the second pin 56 and ensure the stability of the second pin 56. The second elastic pin mechanism 5 and the first elastic pin mechanism 4 are far apart. Due to the influence of the installation position and size, the second elastic pin mechanism 5 and the first elastic pin mechanism 4 have different shapes. When the two buttons 54 on one side are squeezed, the first pin 46 on that side retracts and releases the limit. The pin on the other side acts as a rotation fulcrum to make the door 3 flip. At the same time, when the buttons 54 on both sides are squeezed, all four pins 56 are disengaged from the socket 14, and the door 3 can be moved horizontally out, which is convenient for cleaning and pets to enter and exit.

[0046] like Figure 1-9 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the box body 1 where the door body 3 is installed is flat, and the other end is arc-shaped. The box body 1 includes a lower shell 15 and an upper shell 16 that are detachably connected by a locking mechanism 6. The top of the skylight 2 is provided with a groove 22, and a boss 23 is provided in the middle of the groove 22. Both ends of the boss 23 are rotatably provided with handles 24. A number of ventilation holes 162 are also provided around the upper shell 16.

[0047] The box body 1 is U-shaped and consists of an upper shell 16 and a lower shell 15. The upper shell 16 and the lower shell 15 are detachably connected by a locking mechanism 6. This design facilitates disassembly and transportation, greatly reduces the space occupied during transportation, and also makes it easy to replace parts independently after damage, reducing the cost of use. The design of the groove 22 allows the handle 24 to be flipped and stored inside when not in use, so that there is no protrusion on the top of the box body 1. The design of the convex platform 23 in the center allows the box body 1 to remain stable and not tilt when lifted by the handle 24.

[0048] like Figure 1-9 As shown, in some embodiments, the upper shell 16 has at least two slots 161 on both sides, and the lower shell 15 has mounting slots 151 on both sides, which are the same number as the slots 161 and are positioned opposite each other. The locking mechanism 6 includes a latching connector 61 hinged inside the mounting slot 151. The latching connector 61 has a sliding groove 62 inside. A latch 63 is hinged to one side of the latching connector 61. One end of the latch 63 is engaged with the slot 161. A sliding piece 64 is movably disposed on one side of the latch 63. One end of the sliding piece 64 is engaged inside the sliding groove 62.

[0049] The slider 64 is used to further lock the buckle 63, ensuring the assembly stability of the upper shell 16 and the lower shell 15. The end of the slider 64 that is inserted into the slider groove 62 is L-shaped. When it is necessary to unlock the buckle 63, first move the slider 64 to drive its L-shaped end to disengage from the slider groove 62. Then, push the buckle 63 upward from the connection between the buckle connector 61 and the buckle connector 62, so that the top of the buckle 63 is unlocked from the slot 161. Then flip the buckle 63 to disengage from the slot 161 to avoid affecting the separation of the upper shell 16.

[0050] In summary, the skylight 2 and door 3 can be flexibly flipped or completely disassembled through the double-sided elastic latch mechanism 1 4 and double-sided elastic latch mechanism 2 5. The transparent skylight 2 makes it easy to observe the pet's condition, and the door 3 with its ribbed structure 31 ensures ventilation while reducing pet stress. The double-sided double latch design of the elastic latch mechanism 1 4 and elastic latch mechanism 2 5 effectively prevents accidental opening caused by pet collisions. The box 1 adopts a split structure of upper shell 16 and lower shell 15 with a locking mechanism 6, which facilitates transportation and maintenance of replacement parts. The overall structure takes into account safety, convenience and cleaning needs, which can not only meet the daily ventilation function, but also be quickly disassembled for thorough cleaning, providing a comfortable and safe resting environment for pets.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model 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.
