Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of pet supplies, and in particular to an outdoor pet house. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional outdoor pet houses are typically fixed directly to the ground and cannot be height-adjusted. During rainy seasons or when the ground is flooded, the pet house is prone to water ingress, affecting the pet's comfort. While some existing pet houses are height-adjustable, they mostly use mechanical structures, which suffer from inconvenient adjustment and excessive height above the ground. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an outdoor pet house that effectively prevents water overflow and is easily adjustable in height. Utility Model Content
[0003] The embodiments of this application provide an outdoor pet house that allows the height of the pet house to be flexibly adjusted according to changes in ground water level, preventing water seepage and solving the problem that the pet house is too high off the ground, making it difficult for pets to enter and exit.
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of this application disclose the following technical solutions:
[0005] An outdoor pet house includes:
[0006] The pet house itself;
[0007] An overflow prevention lifting mechanism is buried underground, located at the bottom of the pet house body, and is used to lift and adjust the height of the pet house body to the ground.
[0008] The overflow prevention lifting mechanism includes a fixed cylinder, a movable rod, and a medium source. The fixed cylinder is vertically fixed and buried underground. The fixed cylinder contains a movable cavity. The movable rod is slidably and sealed in the movable cavity, and the bottom end of the movable rod is spaced from the bottom end of the movable cavity to form a medium cavity. The top end of the movable rod is connected to the bottom of the pet house body. The medium source feeds or extracts medium into the medium cavity to adjust the volume of the medium cavity.
[0009] In some embodiments, the wall of the fixed cylinder is provided with a communication port that connects to the medium cavity, and the communication port is connected to the inlet end of the medium source.
[0010] In some embodiments, the fixed cylinder is provided with an inlet channel at a distance from the movable cavity. The inlet channel is arranged along the length direction of the fixed cylinder. The top end of the inlet channel is connected to the medium source, and the bottom end of the inlet channel is connected to the medium cavity through the communication port.
[0011] In some embodiments, the fixed cylinder includes two identical and symmetrically arranged semi-cylindrical structures. Each semi-cylindrical structure includes a long rod body with a cavity one and a cavity two along its length. Both cavities one and two extend radially to the splicing surface. When the two semi-cylindrical structures are spliced together, cavity one forms a movable cavity, and cavity two forms an inlet channel.
[0012] In some embodiments, a connecting groove is recessed on the splicing surface of any of the semi-cylindrical structures. The connecting groove connects the first cavity and the second cavity. When the two semi-cylindrical structures are spliced together, the connecting groove forms a connecting hole.
[0013] In some embodiments, the fixed cylinder has an upper connection port on the wall near the top, which connects to the inlet channel. The upper connection port is connected to the inlet end of the medium source through a connecting pipe.
[0014] In some embodiments, the medium source is an air pump or a water pump, and the inlet or connecting pipe of the medium source is equipped with an on / off valve on the pipe body above ground.
[0015] In some embodiments, a limit ring is provided at the top of the movable cavity to limit the end point of the lifting and lowering motion.
[0016] In some embodiments, the bottom of the pet house body is provided with several anti-overflow lifting mechanisms.
[0017] In some embodiments, photovoltaic modules are installed on the top of the pet house body.
[0018] One of the above technical solutions has the following advantages or beneficial effects:
[0019] This technical solution incorporates a water-prevention lifting mechanism at the bottom of the pet house. This mechanism elevates the pet house during heavy rainfall or when the ground is excessively wet. This prevents water from seeping into the pet house and allows for ventilation and drying of the bottom, ensuring a safe living environment for the pet. Furthermore, the underground location of the water-prevention lifting mechanism keeps the pet house as close to the ground as possible under normal conditions. This facilitates pet access and increases the pet house's stability, protecting it from strong winds or accidental collapse. This solution is particularly suitable for use in home yards, animal shelters, and wildlife observation stations. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0027] 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.
[0028] As attached Figure 1 and attached Figure 5 As shown, an outdoor pet house includes: a pet house body 1;
[0029] An overflow prevention lifting mechanism is buried underground and installed at the bottom of the pet house body 1. It is used to raise and lower the pet house body 1 to adjust its height from the ground. By adjusting the height of the pet house body 1, the distance between it and the ground can be adjusted. In case of heavy rainfall or wet ground, the pet house body 1 can be raised to improve safety or to allow for bottom ventilation.
[0030] The overflow prevention lifting mechanism includes a fixed cylinder 2, a movable rod 3, and a medium source 4. The fixed cylinder 2 is vertically fixed and buried underground. The fixed cylinder 2 contains a movable cavity. The movable rod 3 is slidably and sealed within the movable cavity. A sealing piston 9 is fitted onto the bottom of the movable rod 3, and the bottom end of the movable rod 3 is spaced from the bottom end of the movable cavity, forming a medium cavity 5. The top end of the movable rod 3 is connected to the bottom of the pet house body 1. The medium source 4 feeds or extracts a medium into the medium cavity 5 to adjust its volume. Traditional exposed mechanical structures suffer from corrosion problems; medium-driven mechanisms are more suitable for outdoor environments than mechanical transmissions. The medium source 4 can directly introduce liquid or gaseous media into the medium cavity 5, increasing its volume and driving the movable rod 3 upwards, thereby lifting the pet house body 1.
[0031] In this technical solution, an overflow-proof lifting mechanism is installed at the bottom of the pet house body 1. This mechanism can raise the pet house body 1 in cases of heavy rainfall or excessively wet ground. This prevents water from seeping into the interior of the pet house body 1 and allows for ventilation and drying of the bottom, ensuring a healthy living environment for the pet. Furthermore, the overflow-proof lifting mechanism is located underground, allowing the pet house body to be as close to the ground as possible under normal conditions. This not only facilitates pet access but also increases the stability of the pet house body on the ground, resisting risks such as strong winds or accidental tipping. It is particularly suitable for applications in home yards, animal shelters, and wildlife observation stations. Additionally, by completely concealing the lifting mechanism underground, the corrosion problem of traditional exposed structures is solved, and the medium-driven mechanism is more adaptable to humid environments than mechanical transmission.
[0032] In some embodiments, a connecting port 8 is provided on the wall of the fixed cylinder 2, which is connected to the medium cavity 5. The connecting port 8 is connected to the inlet end of the medium source 4. In a preferred embodiment, this embodiment can only introduce the medium into the medium cavity 5. During the descent phase, the liquid or gaseous medium in the medium cavity 5 can be discharged by the weight of the pet house body 1. The medium source 4 is an air pump or a water pump. An on / off valve 17 is provided on the pipe body above ground at the inlet end of the medium source 4 or the connecting pipe 16. The channel between the medium source 4 and the connecting port is a medium channel. The on / off valve is provided on the medium channel. The on / off valve 17 can connect or close the medium channel with the outside air, allowing the medium in the medium channel to flow to the outside or flow along the medium channel. More specifically, the on / off valve 17 is a three-way valve, with two ends connected to the medium channel, and at least the third end includes a valve to open or close the channel.
[0033] During the lifting phase, the on / off valve 17 closes, allowing the medium to flow within the medium channel and smoothly enter the medium chamber, lifting the movable rod 3. During the descent phase, the on / off valve 17 opens, and the pet house body 1, under its own weight, presses down the movable rod. The medium in the medium chamber 5 is then discharged into the air above ground through the opened on / off valve, thus lowering the pet house body. The medium in this design can be air or an aqueous solution, with the aqueous solution being collected rainwater. The overflow prevention lifting mechanism in this design is completely different from conventional telescopic air cylinders or telescopic hydraulic cylinders. It eliminates the need for medium recovery and has no circulation loop, resulting in a simpler overall structure, lower cost, and lower failure rate.
[0034] As attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, an inlet channel 7 is provided in the fixed cylinder 2 at a distance from the movable cavity 6. The inlet channel 7 is arranged along the length direction of the fixed cylinder 2, the top end of the inlet channel 7 is connected to the medium source, and the bottom end of the inlet channel 7 is connected to the medium cavity 5 through the connecting port 8. Integrating the inlet channel 7 into the fixed cylinder body strengthens the integration, and the fixed cylinder body is made of hard and corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, aluminum profiles, or plastic parts, resulting in a longer service life. Moreover, since the fixed cylinder body is installed underground, the inlet channel 7 will not be deformed due to soil pressure, ensuring smooth medium flow.
[0035] As attached Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixed cylindrical body 2 includes two identical and symmetrically arranged semi-cylindrical structures 10. Each semi-cylindrical structure 10 includes a long rod body 11, which has a cavity 12 and a cavity 2 13 along its length. Both cavities 11 and 2 extend radially to the splicing surface. When the two semi-cylindrical structures 10 are joined together, cavity 12 forms a movable cavity 6, and cavity 2 13 forms an inlet channel 7. A connecting groove 14 is recessed on the splicing surface of any of the semi-cylindrical structures 10. The connecting groove 14 connects cavity 12 and cavity 2 13. When the two semi-cylindrical structures 10 are joined together, the connecting groove forms a connecting hole 8.
[0036] The two-part semi-cylindrical structure facilitates processing and manufacturing, such as through casting or extrusion molding. The two semi-cylindrical structures are then joined together and the seams sealed.
[0037] In some embodiments, the fixed cylinder 2 has an upper connection port 15 on its wall near the top, which connects to the inlet channel 7. The upper connection port 15 is connected to the inlet end of the medium source 16 via a connecting pipe 16. The upper connection port 15 is basically close to the ground.
[0038] In some embodiments, a limit ring 18 is provided at the top of the movable cavity 6 to limit the end point of the lifting and lowering movement and prevent the lifting and lowering from exceeding the stroke and slipping.
[0039] In some embodiments, the bottom of the pet house body 1 is provided with several overflow prevention lifting mechanisms. Multiple sets of overflow prevention lifting mechanisms can provide sufficient lifting force, and their array-like distribution can balance the force.
[0040] In some embodiments, a photovoltaic module 20 is installed on the top of the pet house body 1. The photovoltaic module generates electricity and stores the electricity through a pre-installed energy storage battery pack, making it suitable for outdoor use.
