Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of folding pet carrier technology, and in particular to a folding pet carrier. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the pet economy, the demand for pet transportation is increasing. As a core tool for transporting pets, the portability and storage efficiency of pet carriers have become key concerns for users. Traditional pet carriers mostly adopt fixed structures or simple folding designs, which, while meeting basic transportation needs, have significant shortcomings in terms of space occupation and quick folding. Especially in urban living scenarios, users have placed higher demands on lightweight, easy-to-fold, and efficient storage of pet carriers. Therefore, developing a pet carrier that can be quickly folded, easy to carry, and structurally stable has significant market value. The design of a folding pet carrier needs to balance rigid support with flexible storage, achieving the functional goal of "ready to use when unfolded, ready to go when folded" through optimized mechanical structure, thus adapting to the diverse usage scenarios of modern pet owners.

[0003] Current pet carriers often employ a fixed structure consisting of a metal frame and rigid sheet metal, or multiple panels connected by hinges to achieve limited folding. For example, some products use a combination of bolted mesh panels and a base plate, requiring manual disassembly for storage; others use a soft fabric cover with a retractable frame, utilizing elastic deformation to compress the volume.

[0004] Existing pet carriers generally suffer from cumbersome folding and storage processes and large space requirements. Fixed structures require complete disassembly of components, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also prone to losing loose parts. While traditional folding designs can reduce volume, limitations in hinge layout or slide rail precision result in a loose structure and uneven thickness after folding, preventing further space compression during storage. For example, some folding carriers require folding multiple panels in a specific order and additional securing straps to prevent them from coming apart, significantly reducing the user experience. Therefore, a new folding pet carrier is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a foldable pet carrier, which aims to improve the problems of cumbersome steps and large space occupation in the folding and storage process of existing technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A folding pet carrier includes multiple uprights arranged in a rectangular array. Each upright has a lid at its top, an electrical component inside the lid, multiple connecting locks at its bottom, and an isolation component between the uprights. Support plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of each upright on both the front and rear sides. Hinges are fixedly connected to the top of each support plate, and multiple anti-slip bases are fixedly connected to the bottom of each support plate. A folding component is located between the hinges.

[0008] The folding assembly includes two folding plates. The top of each folding plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating side of the corresponding hinge. Multiple limiting rods are fixedly connected to the top of one folding plate. When the two folding plates are in a horizontal state, the bottom of each limiting rod is in contact with the upper surface of the other folding plate. A hinge is provided between the two folding plates, and the two folding plates are connected by the hinge. A load-bearing assembly is provided between the multiple columns.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The electrical components include a camera, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box cover at the top, and the box cover has ventilation slots inside.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The connecting fasteners are all fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the box cover, and the outer walls of the connecting fasteners are engaged with the corresponding uprights.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The isolation component includes a side glass baffle and a front glass baffle, which are symmetrically distributed among multiple columns and are fitted into the multiple columns.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The front glass baffle is rotatably connected to a switch door, and a hinge is provided between the front glass baffle and the switch door. The switch door is equipped with a latch inside.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The load-bearing component includes a tray, the sidewalls of which are slidably connected between each of the uprights, while both sides are in contact with the inner wall of the insulating component.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] The tray has a grid that slides inside, and a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the grid.

[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0022] A rubber sealing strip is fixedly connected to the side wall of the tray, and the rubber sealing strip is in contact with the inner wall of the isolation component.

[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. In this utility model, the second hinge drives the folding plate to rotate around the support plate, and then the third hinge drives the two folding plates to rotate relative to each other to achieve folding. When unfolded, the limiting rod fits with the other folding plate to form a stable support surface, thereby allowing the bottom of the pet carrier to flexibly switch between folded and unfolded states, thereby reducing the space occupied when not in use. This solves the problem of traditional pet carriers being difficult to store and taking up a lot of space when not in use, improves the space utilization and portability of the pet carrier, and makes it convenient for users to operate flexibly when storing at home or taking it out.

[0025] 2. In this utility model, the lid is securely installed by engaging the uprights and connecting fasteners. Then, the isolation components are formed by the side glass baffle and the front glass baffle fitted by the uprights. The tray slides between the uprights and fits with the isolation components to form a load-bearing space, thereby enabling precise splicing of each component to achieve integrated combination. This results in a stable structure and convenient assembly and disassembly, solving the problems of cumbersome assembly steps and loose structure in traditional pet carriers. It improves the assembly efficiency and flexibility of pet carriers and meets the user's needs for quick assembly and disassembly. Attached Figure Description
