Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pet cages, and in particular to a cat cage with a massage device. Background Technology

[0002] Pet cages are devices used to restrict a pet's activity space and provide a safe and comfortable living environment. They typically consist of a frame, cage door, bottom pad, and dividers. The frame is usually made of metal, plastic, or wood, offering good durability and stability. There are many types of pet cages, including bird cages, dog cages, cat cages, rabbit cages, and mouse cages. Their main functions include managing pet behavior, protecting pet safety, and facilitating pet training and transportation. For example, they prevent pets from accidentally coming into contact with dangerous items at home and causing accidents, help pets establish good living habits such as designated potty training and regular feeding, and ensure the safety of pets during transportation. Pets may play with the cage door lock out of curiosity or instinct. If the lock is easily touched or operated, there is a risk that the pet may accidentally open the cage and escape. Therefore, a cat cage with a massage device is particularly needed.

[0003] However, some existing pet cages still use traditional locks to lock them. Some of these locks are not securely installed. When pets move around in the cage, they often jump and bump into things, which can cause the screws securing the locks to loosen. Over time, the locks may even fall off. In addition, traditional locks are often exposed, which not only affects the overall appearance of the pet cage but is also easily chewed and damaged by pets. This not only reduces the lifespan of the locks but also poses a health risk if pets accidentally ingest chewed parts. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cat cage with a massage device, which adopts a hidden door lock structure, making it difficult for pets to access the unlocking parts, thereby reducing the possibility of them accidentally opening the cage, and thus solving the problem of the shortcomings of some existing pet cages that use traditional door locks.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a cat cage with a massage device, comprising a base plate, a pulley installed at the bottom of the base plate, a safety cage connected above the base plate, a top plate connected to the top of the safety cage, and a door lock assembly provided on the surface of the safety cage;

[0006] The door lock assembly includes a hinge, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the safety cage. A cage door is connected to the hinge surface, and a housing is fixedly connected to the cage door surface. A rotary knob is rotatably connected to the outside of the housing, and a bearing is connected to the inner end of the rotary knob. A ratchet is connected to the surface of the bearing. A movable strip is connected to the inside of the housing, a rack is connected above the movable strip, and a guide strip is connected below the movable strip. A fixed seat is connected to the inside of the housing, and a guide groove is formed on the surface of the fixed seat. A first locking tongue is connected to the outer end of the movable strip. A connecting seat is connected to the surface of the safety cage, and a mounting buckle is connected to the back side of the connecting seat. A telescopic groove is formed on the surface of the connecting seat, and a telescopic spring is connected to the inner end of the telescopic groove. A connecting plate is connected to the outer end of the telescopic spring, and a second locking tongue is connected to the outer end of the connecting plate.

[0007] Preferably, the pulleys are provided in four identical sets at the bottom of the base plate, and are symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the base plate with respect to the central axis of the base plate.

[0008] Preferably, the rotary knob forms a rotating structure by means of a bearing and a ratchet, and the rack and ratchet mesh with each other.

[0009] Preferably, the guide strip is slidably connected to the guide groove, and the outer diameter of the guide strip is adapted to the inner diameter of the guide groove.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting seat is mounted on the surface of the safety cage via a mounting buckle, and the inner diameter of the mounting buckle is adapted to the outer diameter of the safety cage rod.

[0011] Preferably, the position of the first latch corresponds to the position of the second latch, and the dimensions of the first latch and the second latch are compatible.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting plate and the second locking tongue cooperate to form a telescopic structure. The second locking tongue retracts into the telescopic groove under the pressure of the first locking tongue being pushed out, and pops out to lock the first locking tongue after the pressure is released.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This cat cage with a massage device, through the setting of the first locking tongue and the second locking tongue, the first locking tongue and the second locking tongue are locked together. Even if the pet hits the cage hard or tries to turn the knob, the unidirectional rotation characteristic of the ratchet will prevent it from rotating in the opposite direction. With the second locking tongue limiting the first locking tongue, it is ensured that the cage door cannot be easily opened, which increases the safety of the cage. At the same time, the hidden door lock design prevents the pet from easily biting off the door lock and accidentally swallowing the chewed parts, which could endanger its health.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cat cage with a massage device, including a base plate 1, a pulley 2 installed at the bottom of the base plate 1, a safety cage 3 connected above the base plate 1, a top plate 4 connected to the top of the safety cage 3, and a door lock assembly 5 provided on the surface of the safety cage 3.

[0022] The door lock assembly 5 includes a hinge 501, one side of which is fixedly connected to one side of the safety cage 3. A cage door 502 is connected to the surface of the hinge 501, and a housing 503 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cage door 502. A rotary knob 504 is rotatably connected to the outside of the housing 503. A bearing 505 is connected to the inner end of the rotary knob 504, and a ratchet 506 is connected to the surface of the bearing 505. A movable strip 507 is connected inside the housing 503, a rack 508 is connected above the movable strip 507, and a guide strip 509 is connected below the movable strip 507. A fixed seat 510 is connected inside the housing 503, and a guide groove 511 is formed on the surface of the fixed seat 510. The outer end of the 07 is connected to a first locking tongue 512. The surface of the safety cage 3 is connected to a connecting seat 513. The back side of the connecting seat 513 is connected to a mounting buckle 514. The surface of the connecting seat 513 has a telescopic groove 515. The inner end of the telescopic groove 515 is connected to a telescopic spring 516. The outer end of the telescopic spring 516 is connected to a connecting plate 517. The outer end of the connecting plate 517 is connected to a second locking tongue 518. Through the setting of the door lock assembly 5, when it is necessary to close the cage door 502, the cage door 502 is rotated to fit against the safety cage 3 via the hinge 501. At this time, the rotary knob 504 is rotated. The rotary knob 504 drives the ratchet 506 to rotate via the bearing 505. Since the rack 508 and the ratchet 506 are connected... The ratchet 506 meshes with the rack 508, causing it to move. This, in turn, pushes the movable bar 507 along the sliding track of the guide bar 509 and the guide groove 511. As the movable bar 507 moves, the first locking tongue 512, connected to its outer end, extends and, upon approaching the second locking tongue 518, exerts a compressive force on it. This compresses the telescopic spring 516, causing it to retract the second locking tongue 518 into the telescopic groove 515 via the connecting plate 517. As the ratchet 507 continues to extend, the compressive force of the first locking tongue 512 on the second locking tongue 518 disappears, and the telescopic spring 516 releases its elasticity, ejecting the second locking tongue 518 from the telescopic groove 515 via the connecting plate 517. The first locking tongue 512 and the second locking tongue 518 engage with each other to form a double locking structure. At this time, even if the pet violently impacts or attempts to turn the rotary knob 504 inside the cage, the unidirectional rotation characteristic of the ratchet 506 will prevent it from rotating in the opposite direction. Combined with the second locking tongue 518 limiting the first locking tongue 512, it ensures that the cage door 502 cannot be easily opened. When it is necessary to open the cage door, the rotary knob 504 is turned in the opposite direction, and the first locking tongue 512 retracts with the moving bar 507, pressing the second locking tongue 518 again to retract it into the telescopic groove 515. After the first locking tongue 512 is fully retracted, the locking state of the cage door 502 is completely released, and it can be opened smoothly. This ensures the safety of the pet and also takes into account the convenience of use.

[0023] Furthermore, four identical sets of pulleys 2 are installed at the bottom of the base plate 1, and are symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the base plate 1 with respect to the central axis of the base plate 1. With the installation of pulleys 2, the pet cage can be easily moved on the ground. Whether it is adjusting the placement of the cage daily or moving the cage when cleaning the floor, there is no need to move it with effort, reducing the labor intensity of the owner. At the same time, the symmetrically distributed pulleys ensure the stability of the cage when moving, preventing it from tipping over due to uneven force, and protecting the safety of the pet inside the cage.

[0024] Furthermore, the rotary knob 504, through the cooperation of the bearing 505 and the ratchet 506, forms a rotating structure. The rack 508 meshes with the ratchet 506. With the arrangement of the rotary knob 504, bearing 505, and ratchet 506, the owner only needs to turn the rotary knob 504 gently to drive the ratchet 506 through the smooth rotation of the bearing. The rotational motion is converted into the linear motion of the rack by the gear meshing principle, making the operation effortless and precise. In addition, the unique unidirectional rotation characteristic of the ratchet can effectively prevent pets from accidentally touching the rotary knob in the cage and causing the door lock to be opened accidentally, providing double protection for the door lock's security.

[0025] Furthermore, the guide bar 509 is slidably connected to the guide groove 511, and the outer diameter of the guide bar 509 is matched with the inner diameter of the guide groove 511. Through the setting of the guide bar 509 and the guide groove 511, the movable bar 507 obtains precise guidance during movement, avoiding deviation or jamming. Even if the pet moves violently in the cage, causing the cage to vibrate, the structure of the guide bar and the guide groove closely fitting together can ensure that the movable bar slides stably, so that the first locking tongue 512 always extends or retracts along a straight trajectory, ensuring that the door lock assembly works stably and reliably.

[0026] Furthermore, the connector 513 is mounted on the surface of the safety cage 3 via a mounting buckle 514. The inner diameter of the mounting buckle 514 is compatible with the outer diameter of the cage bars of the safety cage 3. With the mounting buckle 514, the installation and removal of the connector 513 becomes very convenient. When the door lock assembly needs to be repaired or replaced, the connector can be quickly removed from the cage bars simply by loosening the mounting buckle 514, without the need for complicated tools and cumbersome operations. At the same time, the tight fit ensures that the connector is firmly and stably installed and is not easy to loosen when subjected to pet impacts or external pulling, ensuring that the door lock functions properly.

[0027] Furthermore, the position of the first locking tongue 512 corresponds to the position of the second locking tongue 518, and the dimensions of the first locking tongue 512 and the second locking tongue 518 are compatible. Through the setting of the first locking tongue 512 and the second locking tongue 518, a double locking structure is formed. The second locking tongue 518 pops out precisely and locks the first locking tongue. The two are tightly engaged, just like adding double insurance to the cage door. Even if one locking tongue is impacted by external force, the other locking tongue can maintain the locked state, which greatly improves the anti-theft and anti-escape performance of the pet cage and creates a safe living environment for pets.

[0028] Furthermore, the connecting plate 517, through the cooperation of the telescopic spring 516 and the second latch 518, forms a telescopic structure. Under the pressure of the first latch 512 being pushed out, the second latch 518 retracts into the telescopic groove 515. After the pressure is released, it pops out to form a locking structure against the first latch 512. Through the arrangement of the telescopic groove 515, the telescopic spring 516, and the connecting plate 517, the automatic telescopic and locking functions of the second latch 518 are realized. The telescopic spring 516 provides stable elastic support for the second latch, precisely retracting when under pressure and quickly returning to its original position after the pressure is removed, ensuring a smooth and reliable double locking process. At the same time, the telescopic groove 515 provides a standardized range of motion for the telescopic movement of the second latch. Combined with the connecting plate, this keeps the second latch stable during frequent telescopic movements, extending the service life of the door lock.

[0029] Working principle: During daily use, the four sets of casters 2 at the bottom of the base plate 1 allow the pet cage to be moved easily. The owner can quickly move the cage to a suitable position according to the home layout or lighting needs. During the movement, the symmetrically distributed casters ensure the stability of the cage and prevent the pet from being startled by shaking. When it is necessary to close the cage door 502, rotate the cage door 502 with the hinge 501 until it is flush with the safety cage 3. At this time, turn the rotary knob 504. The rotary knob 504 drives the ratchet 506 to rotate through the bearing 505. Since the rack 508 and the ratchet 506 are meshed, the rotation of the ratchet 506 will drive the rack 508 to move. This movement pushes the movable bar 507 along the sliding track of the guide bar 509 and the guide groove 511. As the movable bar 507 moves, the first locking tongue 512 connected to its outer end extends, exerting a squeezing force on the second locking tongue 518 as it approaches. This causes the telescopic spring 516 to be compressed, pulling the second locking tongue 518 back into the telescopic groove 515 via the connecting plate 517. As the movable bar 507 continues to extend, the squeezing force of the first locking tongue 512 on the second locking tongue 518 disappears, and the telescopic spring 516 releases its elasticity, pulling the second locking tongue 518 out of the telescopic groove 515 via the connecting plate 517. When the ratchet 506 pops out, the first locking tongue 512 and the second locking tongue 518 engage with each other, forming a double locking structure. At this time, even if the pet violently impacts or attempts to turn the rotary knob 504 inside the cage, the unidirectional rotation characteristic of the ratchet 506 will prevent it from rotating in the opposite direction. Combined with the second locking tongue 518 limiting the first locking tongue 512, this ensures that the cage door 502 cannot be easily opened. When opening the cage door, turning the rotary knob 504 in the opposite direction causes the moving bar 507 to retract the first locking tongue 512, further pressing the second locking tongue 518 into the telescopic groove 515, releasing the double lock. The owner can then easily open the cage door. Furthermore, [the following text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-translated gibberish: "continuously..."] The connector 513 is connected to the safety cage 3 via the mounting buckle 514. This design not only facilitates the installation of the door lock assembly, but also allows for quick disassembly of the connector for inspection or replacement of parts if the door lock malfunctions or requires maintenance. The safety cage 3, top plate 4, and bottom plate 1 form a sturdy frame structure, providing a stable activity space for the pet. The concealed door lock assembly 5 is cleverly integrated into the cage design, ensuring the safety of the cage door without affecting the overall aesthetics. This allows the pet cage to meet safety and protection requirements while also being practical and aesthetically pleasing, thus completing the use of a cat cage with a massage device.
