Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet-specific fabric technology, and in particular to a tear-resistant mesh fabric for pet cages and a pet cage. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, more and more families are keeping cats and dogs in their spare time. As a leisure activity, the companionship of pets can bring joy to their owners. Therefore, pet beds that provide a place for pets to rest have become essential pet supplies.

[0003] However, pet cages currently on the market usually have breathable fabrics to provide a cozy environment for pets. However, the fabrics used in existing pet cages are usually made of human clothing materials, which are not resistant to continuous chewing by pets and have poor mechanical properties. Some are even made of metal materials, but this also results in insufficient fabric flexibility. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this application provides a tear-resistant mesh fabric for pet cages and a pet cage, in order to solve the technical problem that the existing pet cage fabrics are usually made of human clothing materials, which do not have the ability to resist continuous chewing by pets and have poor mechanical properties. Some are made directly of metal materials, but this also leads to insufficient fabric flexibility.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides the following technical solutions.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a tear-resistant mesh fabric for pet cages, the fabric having a tear-resistant layer with a plurality of spaced mesh openings, the non-mesh areas of the tear-resistant layer including:

[0007] The warp yarn is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene filament, and the warp yarn forms a longitudinal main skeleton with a chain braiding structure;

[0008] The weft yarn is a nylon filament. The weft yarn weft-insertion structure runs horizontally through the chain node and is woven onto the main skeleton formed by the warp yarn, so that the weft yarn is locked to the main skeleton.

[0009] Furthermore, the warp yarn has a single filament fineness ≥ 0.8 dtex and a breaking strength ≥ 35 cN / tex, while the weft yarn has a single filament fineness ≤ 1.2 dtex and a breaking elongation ≥ 45%.

[0010] Furthermore, the two warp yarns and one weft yarn are interwoven to form the mesh.

[0011] Furthermore, the fabric also includes:

[0012] An initial tear-resistant barrier layer is disposed on the tear-resistant layer;

[0013] An antimicrobial fabric layer is disposed on the side of the tear-resistant layer opposite to the initial tear-resistant barrier layer; and / or the mesh extends through the initial tear-resistant barrier layer and the antimicrobial fabric layer.

[0014] Furthermore, the initial tear-resistant barrier layer is a PVC-coated polyester mesh.

[0015] Furthermore, the antibacterial fabric layer is made of milk silk fabric, and the mesh extends through the antibacterial fabric layer.

[0016] This application also proposes a pet cage, comprising:

[0017] The cage body has ventilation openings.

[0018] The aforementioned fabric is used to cover the ventilation opening.

[0019] Furthermore, the cage includes:

[0020] The housing has the vent provided on it, and the interior of the housing has a hollow cavity;

[0021] The support frame has a ring-shaped structure and is disposed in the hollow cavity. The vent is connected to the support frame, and the inner peripheral wall of the support frame is provided with the fabric.

[0022] Furthermore, the support frame is provided with a plurality of through holes, which are spaced apart on the periphery of the support frame.

[0023] Furthermore, the cage also includes:

[0024] The base, with the bottom of the housing rotatably positioned at the center of the base.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0026] In response to pets' habits of biting and scratching cages, specialized fabrics must possess both excellent mechanical properties and flexibility to adapt to different cage shapes. The core of the tear-resistant mesh fabric in this application lies in its tear-resistant layer, which resists continuous chewing by pets while also bending to conform to the cage structure. To ensure breathability, multiple mesh openings are created in the tear-resistant layer. The non-mesh areas consist of specially woven warp and weft yarns: the warp yarns use 400D natural-colored ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene filament (UHMWPE), utilizing white raw yarn to reduce costs; its surface can be coated with 0.3-0.5wt% nano-siloxane coupling agent to reduce weaving friction damage; the weft yarns use 300D nylon 6 filament (Nylon 6), and a pre-oiling process containing an antistatic agent enhances its cohesion with UHMWPE. The production process employs a double-comb warp knitting technique: the front comb uses 100% UHMWPE filament, forming a high-strength longitudinal main skeleton with a chain weave structure; the back comb uses 100% nylon 6 filament, with a weft-inserting structure that transversely runs through the chain nodes and is woven onto the main skeleton, reinforcing the weft yarns and simultaneously providing color enhancement. In the final fabric, UHMWPE filament accounts for 65-70% of the total warp fiber, and nylon 6 filament accounts for 30-35% of the weft, optimizing economy while ensuring strength. This structure naturally forms a composite shape with UHMWPE as the core and nylon 6 as the outer layer at the intersection of the chain weave and the weft insert, effectively resisting the hooking and damage from pet teeth.

[0040] As living standards improve, more and more families are keeping cats and dogs in their spare time. As a leisure activity, the companionship of pets can bring joy to their owners. Therefore, pet beds that provide a place for pets to rest have become essential pet supplies.

[0041] However, pet cages currently on the market usually have breathable fabrics to provide a cozy environment for pets. However, the fabrics used in existing pet cages are usually made of human clothing materials, which are not resistant to continuous chewing by pets and have poor mechanical properties. Some are even made of metal materials, but this also results in insufficient fabric flexibility.

[0042] In view of this, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, this application proposes a tear-resistant mesh fabric for pet cages. The fabric has a tear-resistant layer 2, on which a plurality of spaced meshes 23 are provided. The area of ​​the tear-resistant layer 2 outside the meshes 23 includes: warp yarns 21, which are ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene filaments, and the warp yarns 21 form a longitudinal main skeleton with a braided structure; and weft yarns 22, which are nylon filaments, and the weft yarns 22 are weft-inserted and transversely pass through the braided nodes and are woven onto the main skeleton formed by the warp yarns 21, so that the weft yarns 22 are locked to the main skeleton.

[0043] In this embodiment, since pets have a habit of tearing and biting objects and scratching them with their claws, the fabric used for the pet cage 4 needs to have excellent mechanical properties. Furthermore, pet cages 4 come in various shapes on the market, and the fabric needs to meet market demands and be applicable to different shapes of pet cages 4. Therefore, the fabric used for the pet cage 4 also needs to have a certain degree of flexibility. The tear-resistant mesh fabric for pet cages in this application has at least one layer, the most important of which is the tear-resistant layer 2, whose main function is to resist continuous chewing by pets and to be applicable to pet cages 4 of different shapes. To facilitate ventilation, multiple mesh openings 23 are also required on the tear-resistant layer 2. The non-mesh area 23 of the fabric is mainly woven from warp yarns 21 and weft yarns 22 of different materials. The warp yarn 21 is made of 400D ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene filament (abbreviated as UHMWPE) and uses natural color, such as white raw yarn, to reduce costs. The weft yarn 22 is made of 300D nylon 6 filament (abbreviated as nylon 6). The surface of UHMWPE fiber can be coated with nano-siloxane coupling agent, preferably with a coating amount of 0.3-0.5wt%, to reduce weaving friction damage. The nylon 6 fiber is pre-oiled (containing antistatic agent) to improve its cohesion with UHMWPE. In terms of production process, a double comb warp knitting machine is used. The front comb uses 100% UHMWPE filament and adopts a chain knitting structure to form a longitudinal main skeleton, ensuring that the fabric has high tensile strength. The back comb uses 100% nylon 6 filament and adopts a weft-inserting structure to pass through the chain knitting nodes laterally and knit on the main skeleton formed by the warp yarns 21, so that the weft yarns 22 are locked to the main skeleton, achieving the effect of reinforcement and color development.

[0044] The fabric formed by the above structure has UHMWPE filaments accounting for 65-70% of the total warp fibers and Nylon 6 filaments accounting for 30-35% of the total weft fibers, which makes the fabric both strong and economical. The fabric structure formed at the intersection of the braided chain and the weft insert is a composite fabric structure with a UHMWPE core layer and a Nylon 6 covering layer, which can effectively resist the hooking and pulling of pet teeth.

[0045] Specifically, the warp yarn 21 has a single filament fineness ≥ 0.8 dtex and a breaking strength ≥ 35 cN / tex, while the weft yarn 22 has a single filament fineness ≤ 1.2 dtex and a breaking elongation ≥ 45%. In this embodiment, fiber fineness, or simply fineness, is an important indicator for measuring the thickness of fibers. It is usually expressed as the weight of fiber per unit length, with units such as tex (tex), decitex (dtex), and denier. The fineness directly affects the strength, softness, moisture absorption, and the hand feel and appearance of the textile. The warp yarn 21 of this application has a single filament fineness ≥ 0.8 dtex and a breaking strength ≥ 35 cN / tex, which can effectively improve the high tensile strength of the main skeleton and effectively resist the hooking of pet teeth. The weft yarn 22 has a single filament fineness ≤ 1.2 dtex and a breaking elongation ≥ 45%, which can ensure that the woven fabric maintains sufficient flexibility, allowing the fabric to be applied to pet cages 4 of different shapes.

[0046] Specifically, the mesh 23 is formed by interlacing two warp yarns 21 with one weft yarn 22. In this embodiment, the mesh is formed by skipped stitches, and the edges of the mesh are formed by interlacing two warp yarns 21 (UHMWPE filament) with one weft yarn 22 (Nylon 6 filament). After weaving, the mesh is heat-set by hot air treatment at 170-180℃ for 90-120 seconds to eliminate the internal stress of the fabric and fix the mesh 23 structure.

[0047] Specifically, the fabric also includes:

[0048] An initial tear-resistant barrier layer 1 is disposed on the tear-resistant layer 2;

[0049] An antibacterial fabric layer 3 is disposed on the side of the tear-resistant layer 2 opposite to the initial tear-resistant barrier layer 1; and / or the mesh 23 penetrates the initial tear-resistant barrier layer 1 and the antibacterial fabric layer 3.

[0050] In this embodiment, to make the fabric more durable and antibacterial, the tear-resistant mesh fabric of the pet cage of this application has a three-layer structure. The tear-resistant layer 2 serves as the middle layer, while the initial tear-resistant barrier layer 1 serves as the top layer, preventing the pet from damaging the fabric from the outside of the cage. The antibacterial fabric layer 3 serves as the inner layer, located on the side of the tear-resistant layer 2 facing away from the initial tear-resistant barrier layer 1. The antibacterial fabric layer 3 is typically located inside the pet, in direct contact with the pet, reducing bacterial growth and attachment, and avoiding any impact on the pet's health. To ensure the breathability of the fabric, the mesh 23 can penetrate through the initial tear-resistant barrier layer 1 and the antibacterial fabric layer 3.

[0051] Specifically, the initial tear-resistant barrier layer 1 is a PVC-coated polyester mesh. In this embodiment, since the tear strength of the PVC-coated polyester mesh is ≥380N, it can be used to provide an initial tear-resistant barrier to prevent pets from damaging the fabric from the outside of the cage.

[0052] Specifically, the antibacterial fabric layer 3 is made of milk silk fabric, and the mesh 23 extends through the antibacterial fabric layer 3. In this embodiment, the antibacterial fabric layer 3 is made of milk silk fabric, which facilitates the embedding of silver ion-containing antibacterial agents within the milk silk fibers, resulting in an antibacterial rate >95%, thus preventing bacteria from multiplying and attaching to the fabric and affecting the pet's health.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model also proposes a pet cage 4, including the aforementioned tear-resistant mesh fabric and a cage body (not shown in the figure). The cage body has a ventilation opening 41, and the fabric covers the ventilation opening 41. The specific structure of the fabric is as described in the above embodiments. Since the pet cage 4 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0054] Specifically, the cage includes:

[0055] The housing 42 has the vent 41 and a hollow cavity inside (not shown in the figure).

[0056] The support frame 43 has a ring-shaped structure and is disposed in the hollow cavity. The vent 41 is connected to the support frame 43, and the inner peripheral wall of the support frame 43 is provided with the fabric.

[0057] In this embodiment, the shell 42 has multiple vents 41 for air circulation. The vents 41 are covered with the aforementioned fabric, which ensures airflow inside the pet cage 4 and allows the pet owner to easily observe the interior of the pet cage 4. The shell 42 has a hollow cavity inside, and the surface of the shell 42 has vents 41 that communicate with the hollow cavity. Covering the vents 41 with fabric ensures airflow inside the pet cage 4 and allows the pet owner to easily observe the interior of the pet cage 4. Since pets often move around inside the pet cage 4 or may hit the shell 42 out of fear, this application provides a ring-shaped support frame 43 inside the hollow cavity. The support frame 43 is made of metal to ensure it is sturdy and not easily damaged. The support frame 43 is formed by metal sheets surrounding a ring structure. The support frame 43 has a cylindrical shape, with both ends in the axial direction being open, one end of which communicates with the vent 41. The aforementioned fabric can also be installed along the inner periphery of the support frame 43, providing a comfortable fabric environment for the pet and utilizing the tear-resistant properties of the fabric to effectively resist the hooking and pulling of the pet's teeth, thereby increasing the service life of the pet cage 4.

[0058] Specifically, the support frame 43 has several through holes 44, which are spaced apart on the periphery of the support frame 43. To further improve the air permeability of the pet cage 4, this application provides several through holes 44 on the support frame 43 to enhance air permeability.

[0059] Specifically, the cage also includes:

[0060] The base 45, the bottom of the housing 42 is rotatably disposed at the center position of the base 45.

[0061] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate pet owners to check the inside of the pet cage 4 at any time, a base 45 can be set at the bottom of the shell 42, so that the shell 42 can be rotatably set on the base 45. Pet owners can rotate the shell 42 to a preset position at any time to check the inside of the pet cage 4.

[0062] As a preferred embodiment, this application also directly creates vents 421 at both ends of the housing 42, the vents 421 filling the disc areas at both ends of the housing 42, and the housing 42 is made of plastic material.

[0063] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
