Because the periphery of the upper surface of the connecting strip slopes downwards, urine or other debris is less likely to remain above the connecting strip, and no urine or feces will remain above the connecting strip. The upper surface is relatively dry, making it less likely to cause contact dermatitis, bacterial infection, fungal infection, and interdigital dermatitis. Secondly, the periphery of the lower surface of the connecting strip arches upwards near the inner side, forming a narrow strip at the lower end. The contact area between the lower end of the connecting strip and the droplets is small, the intermolecular tension of the liquid is small, and the liquid is less likely to gather into droplets at the lower end.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of footrest mesh technology, and in particular relates to a footrest mesh for pet cages or pet toilets. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most footplates used in pet cages or pet toilets for separating feces are made of perforated metal plates or non-metallic perforated plates. These existing footplates have the following drawbacks: First, the flatness of these existing footplates is relatively good, and the upper surface of the connecting strips between the mesh openings is smooth. When urine falls above these strips, due to the tension between urine molecules, it easily forms large droplets between the strips. The pet's feet are in prolonged contact with this urine. Since urine is not simply water, it contains urea, uric acid, ammonia, various electrolytes, and bacteria. These components are highly irritating and corrosive to the skin, easily causing contact dermatitis, bacterial infections, fungal infections, and interdigital dermatitis. Second, the lower surface of the connecting strips between the mesh openings is also relatively smooth. Thus, when urine and other excrement flow down the mesh, urine at the edges of the mesh can be trapped. Under the influence of intermolecular forces, urine accumulates along the lower surface of the connecting band, forming droplets. These droplets do not fall due to the intermolecular forces of urine and can only slowly evaporate. This not only corrodes the footrest mesh, shortening its lifespan, but also increases the evaporation area of urine, leading to severe air pollution in the pet cage or litter box and easily causing respiratory diseases in pets. Thirdly, to accommodate the footrest mesh, footrest mesh support blocks or support strips are installed on the inner wall of the pet cage or litter box. The upper surface of the footrest mesh support blocks or support strips is horizontal. When pet hair, feces, or urine fall on the footrest mesh support blocks or support strips, they easily accumulate. Moreover, the width of the footrest mesh is smaller than the width between the inner walls of the pet cage or litter box, resulting in poor stability of the footrest mesh. The footrest mesh is prone to shifting during pet movement, leading to poor pet comfort. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a foot mesh plate for pet cages or pet toilets that prevents urine from accumulating on the upper surface, provides good comfort, has a long service life, keeps the air fresh in the usage space, and reduces the incidence of pet diseases.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the pet cage or pet toilet foot mesh plate of this utility model is as follows: it includes a mesh plate body, the mesh plate body includes mesh holes and connecting strips between the mesh holes, a supporting frame is provided around the periphery of the mesh plate body, and the cross-section of the connecting strip is a downward-opening "C" shape.
[0005] Its additional technical features are: The cross-section of the supporting frame is circular; The lower end of the connecting strip is provided with alternating serrations. The supporting frame is rectangular, and chamfers are provided at the four corners of the supporting frame; A support frame is provided below the support frame.

Detailed Implementation
[0008] The structure and working principle of the footrest mesh plate for pet cages or pet toilets of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0009] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The diagram shows the structure of the foot mesh panel for pet cages or pet toilets of this utility model. The foot mesh panel for pet cages or pet toilets of this utility model includes a mesh panel body 1, a mesh panel body 1 including mesh holes 2 and a connecting strip 3 between the mesh holes 2, and a supporting frame 4 is provided around the perimeter of the mesh panel body 1. The cross-section of the connecting strip 3 is a downward-opening "C" shape.
[0010] Because the upper surface of the connecting strap 3 slopes downwards, urine or other debris is less likely to remain above the connecting strap, preventing urine or feces residue. The upper surface is relatively dry, reducing the risk of contact dermatitis, bacterial infections, fungal infections, and interdigital dermatitis. The lower surface of the connecting strap 3 arches upwards near the inner side, forming a narrow strip at the lower end. This results in a small contact area between the lower end of the connecting strap 3 and the droplets, reducing the intermolecular tension of the liquid and preventing it from easily accumulating into droplets. Even if droplets do form, they will fall off under their own weight, minimizing corrosion to the mesh body 1 and extending its service life. Furthermore, since droplets do not accumulate on the upper and lower surfaces of the connecting strap, there is less evaporation of urine, resulting in less air pollution in the pet's space and a fresher environment. With a supporting frame, multiple fixing rods can be installed on the inner wall of the pet cage or pet toilet, providing good stability, minimizing urine or feces residue, and creating a more comfortable environment.
[0011] The aforementioned mesh plate body 1 can be made of perforated metal sheet, plastic mesh plate processed by mold, or other non-metallic sheet material. For perforated metal sheet, during the processing of the aforementioned mesh plate body 1, it is only necessary to set a protrusion at the middle position of the connecting part of the adjacent recesses of the lower mold, and set a corresponding groove at the corresponding part of the upper mold; for non-metallic sheet with mesh, only the appropriate mold is needed.
[0012] like Figure 2 As shown, the inner side of the support frame 4 slopes downwards, making it easy for urine, feces, etc. located above the support frame to fall under the foot mesh plate, and also making it easy to clean.
[0013] like Figure 4 As shown, the lower end of the connecting strip 3 is provided with alternating serrations 5, which makes it less likely for droplets to form on the serrations 5 below the connecting strip.
[0014] like Figure 5 As shown, the support frame 4 is rectangular, and chamfers are provided at the four corners of the support frame 4, so that the corners of the inner side of the pet cage are rounded, making it more comfortable to use.
[0015] like Figure 6 As shown, a support frame 6 is provided below the support frame 4, which allows the foot mesh to be placed directly at the bottom of the pet cage or pet toilet. The lower end of the support frame 6 contacts the bottom of the pet cage, and the foot mesh is a distance away from the bottom plate, making it more convenient to use and with a wider range of applications.
[0016] The scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Any structure that is the same as or similar to the foot mesh structure of the pet cage or pet toilet of this utility model falls within the scope of protection of this utility model.
