Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cat house with an entrance conversion. Background Technology

[0002] Cat houses are essential facilities that provide domestic cats with spaces for rest, hiding, and play, helping to satisfy their sense of security and natural instincts. Most cat houses on the market today use a fixed structure, made by splicing or gluing together prefabricated side panels, top panels, and floor panels.

[0003] These traditional cat houses generally suffer from limited functionality and a lack of fun; the entrance to a cat house is usually fixed, and its shape, size, and location cannot be changed. Cats, as curious animals that love novelty, easily lose interest in exploring fixed entrances and interior spaces, leading to reduced usage of the cat house.

[0004] There is an urgent need in this field for a cat house design that can both stimulate cats' interest and cat house design. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cat house with an entrance that can continuously stimulate a cat's curiosity and desire to explore, thus solving the problem that traditional cat houses are easily bored by cats due to their limited functionality.

[0006] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is as follows: This utility model has a side plate, a bottom plate, and a top plate. The side plate is provided with a first partition groove, a second partition groove, a third partition groove, and a fourth partition groove. The side plate forms a first rear half plate surface, a left side plate surface, a front plate surface, a right side plate surface, and a second rear half plate surface through the partitioning of the first partition groove, the second partition groove, the third partition groove, and the fourth partition groove. The side plate forms a closed-loop sidewall after being folded through the first partition groove, the second partition groove, the third partition groove, and the fourth partition groove. The first rear half plate surface and the second rear half plate surface are separated by the first partition groove, the second partition groove, the third partition groove, and the fourth partition groove. The rear panel is formed by folding and combining the third, fourth, and third partition slots. The bottom and top panels are detachably mounted on the left, front, right, and rear panels, creating an activity space for cats to enter. The front panel has multiple entry openings, each located on a circle centered on the front panel. A rotating plate is also rotatably mounted on the front panel, with at least one through hole communicating with an entry opening. The front panel has a limiting component to restrict the rotation of the rotating plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the front panel is provided with a mounting groove extending toward the activity space, and the inlet is provided on the bottom of the mounting groove; the wall of the mounting groove is provided with a rotating ring groove concentrically arranged with the mounting groove, and the rotating plate is rotatably disposed in the rotating ring groove. Furthermore, a guide channel corresponding to and connected to the through hole is fixedly provided on the rotating plate. The guide channel is located between the bottom of the mounting groove and the rotating plate. One end of the guide channel is fixedly provided on the rotating plate, and the other end of the guide channel extends toward the bottom of the mounting groove and acts on the bottom of the mounting groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a first mounting ring and a second mounting ring. The outer wall of the first mounting ring is fixedly disposed on the groove wall of the rotating ring groove, and the inner wall of the second mounting ring is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating plate. A first ratchet is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the first mounting ring, and a second ratchet is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the second mounting ring, which can form a one-way rotation limiting engagement with the first ratchet. The rotating plate forms a clockwise rotation limiting by the one-way rotation limiting engagement of the first ratchet and the second ratchet.

[0009] Furthermore, each side wall of the bottom plate and the top plate is fixedly provided with a plug, and multiple plugs are provided and evenly arranged along the extension direction of the side wall; the left side plate, front plate, right side plate and rear plate are provided with slots that correspond one-to-one with each plug and can form a plug-in fit. The bottom plate and the top plate can be detachably installed on the left side plate, front plate, right side plate and rear plate respectively through the plug-in fit of the plugs and slots.

[0010] Furthermore, the first rear half plate is provided with the aforementioned slot, and the second rear half plate is provided with the aforementioned insert block. After the first and second rear half plates are folded through the first, second, third, and fourth partition grooves, the bottom plate and top plate are detachably assembled by the insertion of the insert block and the slot to form the rear plate.

[0011] Furthermore, observation windows for observing the activity space are provided on the left and right sides of the panel.
