[0012] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0013] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0014] The following reference Figures 1 to 5 Description of a pet cage door lock according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0015] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a pet cage door lock, including a housing 1, a latch 2, a knob, and a locking assembly.

[0016] Specifically, the locking tongue 2 has one end located inside the housing 1 and the other end passing through the side wall of the housing 1; the knob is rotatably connected to the side wall of the housing 1 and is connected to the locking tongue 2; and the locking assembly is connected to the knob.

[0017] When the door needs to be opened, the locking component is moved to release the locking component from the knob. Then, rotating the knob moves the latch 2, which in turn releases the latch 2 from the pet cage, allowing the pet cage to open. After releasing the knob, the latch 2 will return the knob to its original position without any external force, and the locking component will lock the knob again.

[0018] When the locking tongue 2 locks the pet cage, the locking component can lock the knob. The locking component increases the difficulty for the pet to open the pet cage door, preventing the pet from opening the pet cage simply by turning the knob and thus preventing the pet from escaping the pet cage.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, it further includes: The first groove 3 is formed on the side wall of the housing 1, and the first groove 3 is circular in shape. The first through hole 5 is formed at the bottom of the first groove 3, and the first through hole 5 is circular in shape; The second through hole 6 is formed at the bottom of the first groove 3. In this application, two arc-shaped second through holes 6 are used as an example. The center of the second through hole 6 coincides with the center of the first through hole 5.

[0020] The knob includes: The handheld part 8 has a second groove 4 on the side near the housing 1, and a third through hole 7 communicating with the second groove 4 is provided on the side wall of the handheld part 8; The first rotating component 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the handheld component 8 near the housing 1. The first rotating component 9 is circular in shape and is rotatably connected to the first groove 3. A first notch 11 is provided at the edge of the first rotating component 9. The second rotating component 10 is fixedly connected to the first rotating component 9 on the side near the housing 1. The second rotating component 10 cooperates with the first through hole 5. During the rotation of the knob, the second rotating component 10 is always in contact with the inner wall of the first through hole 5. The position of the entire knob can be limited by the second rotating component 10 to prevent the knob from shifting. The connector 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second groove 4, and the connector 13 passes through the first through hole 5 and is connected to the locking tongue 2.

[0021] The locking assembly includes: The first limiting member 14 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing 1 near the knob. The first limiting member 14 is circular in shape and is located at the edge of the first groove 3. The first limiting member 14 has a second notch 12, which corresponds to the position of the first notch 11. The second limiting member 15 is disposed in the second groove 4, and the second limiting member 15 cooperates with the first notch 11 and the second notch 12. The sliding member 17 passes through the third through hole 7 and is fixedly connected to the second limiting member 15 by screws; An elastic element 18 is disposed in the second groove 4, and the elastic element 18 is disposed between the sliding element 17 and the connecting element 13. The elastic element 18 may be a spring.

[0022] When the pet cage door is locked, the latch 2 engages with the limiting structure on the pet cage to lock the door. At this time, the spring is compressed, and the force generated by the spring's recovery deformation acts on the second limiting member 15, causing the upper end of the second limiting member 15 to be simultaneously positioned within the first notch 11 and the second notch 12. The second notch 12 of the first limiting member 14 acts as a limiting member for the second limiting member 15. At the same time, the action of the spring further prevents the second limiting member 15 from shifting. Furthermore, the limiting effect of the second notch 12 on the second limiting member 15 ensures that the pet cannot rotate the knob, thereby increasing the difficulty for the pet to open the pet cage door.

[0023] When the pet cage door needs to be opened, first push the slider 17 downwards. The slider 17 moves downwards along the third through hole 7, and the slider 17 drives the second limiting member 15 downwards. The second limiting member 15 will further compress the spring. During the downward movement of the second limiting member 15, it will slide out of the second notch 12. Then the second notch 12 will no longer limit the second limiting member 15. Then the user pinches and rotates the handheld member 8. The handheld member 8 drives the first rotating member 9 to rotate inside the first groove 3. The shape and size of the first rotating member 9 are adapted to the shape and size of the first groove 3. During the rotation of the first rotating member 9, the first rotating member 9 is always in contact with the inner wall of the first groove 3. Through the cooperation between the first rotating member 9 and the first groove 3, the stability of the knob can be further improved and the knob can be prevented from deviating. The rotation of the first rotating member 9 drives the connecting member 13 to rotate. During the rotation of the connecting member 13, it will drive the locking tongue 2 to move. The locking tongue 2 slides out from the locking structure on the pet cage, and then the locking tongue 2 is released from the locking state of the pet cage, and the door can be opened. Then, while still holding the handle 8, close the door and release the handle 8. The latch 2 will automatically enter the locking mechanism and lock the door again. At the same time, as the latch 2 enters the locking mechanism, it will drive the first rotating part 9 to rotate in the opposite direction. When the latch 2 returns to its initial position, the second limiting part 15 will move to the second notch 12 again. The spring will restore its deformation and drive the second limiting part 15 to enter the second notch 12 again, thus locking the knob.

[0024] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, it further includes: The third limiting member 16 is fixedly connected to the first rotating member 9 on the side near the housing 1. The third limiting member 16 passes through the second through hole 6 and is J-shaped or L-shaped.

[0025] During the installation of the knob, first press the third limiting member 16 towards the second rotating member 10, so that the third limiting member 16 can undergo slight deformation, ensuring that the third limiting member 16 can pass through the second through hole 6. After the third limiting member 16 passes through the second through hole 6, the third limiting member 16 returns to its original shape, and the third limiting member 16 extending into the housing 1 will contact the inner wall of the housing 1. The third limiting member 16 extending into the housing 1 will have a limiting effect on the knob, ensuring that the knob will not slide off the housing 1.

[0026] This utility model has the following advantages: By limiting the knob with a locking component, rotation of the knob can be prevented, making it more difficult for the pet to open the door and further preventing the pet from escaping from the pet cage.
