Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet cage technology, and in particular to a foldable pet cage that is easy to carry outdoors. Background Technology

[0002] Pet cages are common supplies that provide pets with a safe place to live, move around, and be managed. They come in a variety of materials, such as wire, plastic, and wood, and are available in various types, including single-layer, multi-layer, and folding types. They can be selected according to the pet's breed, size, and usage scenario, such as home breeding or outdoor carrying. They combine the functions of living, portability, and easy cleaning, and are practical tools for ensuring the safety and convenient care of pets. Therefore, there is a particular need for a folding pet cage that is easy to carry outdoors.

[0003] Chinese patent CN215380636U, published on January 4, 2022, discloses a pet cage that facilitates cleaning of pet feces. The cage features a movable device that allows for easy removal of the bottom plate for cleaning, and an automatic door lock for convenient locking. While the overall structure is simple, easy to clean, and saves time and effort, it lacks lightweight and easy-to-store optimizations for outdoor travel. This results in a bulky and cumbersome design, making it unsuitable for short trips or pet veterinary visits. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a foldable pet cage that is easy to carry outdoors, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a foldable pet cage that is easy to carry outdoors, comprising a top plate, a first side plate rotatably connected to one side surface of the top plate, a second side plate rotatably connected to one side surface of the first side plate, a rotating block rotatably connected to one side surface of the top plate, a limiting block fixedly connected to one side surface of the top plate near the first side plate, and a fixing mechanism provided on one side surface of the second side plate.

[0006] The fixing mechanism includes a base plate and a first rotating plate. The base plate is rotatably connected to the surface of a second side plate away from the top plate. The first rotating plate is rotatably connected to the surface of the top plate away from the rotating block. A circular hole is formed on one side surface of the base plate. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the base plate away from the top plate. A pull rope is fixedly connected to one side surface of the fixing plate. A connecting block is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rope away from the fixing plate. A cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting block away from the pull rope. A first fixing plate is rotatably connected to one end of the first rotating plate away from the top plate. A circular groove is formed on the surface of the first fixing plate away from the first rotating plate. A second rotating plate is rotatably connected to the surface of the base plate away from the fixing plate. A second fixing plate is rotatably connected to one end of the second rotating plate away from the base plate. A limit groove is formed on one side surface of the second fixing plate.

[0007] Preferably, the first side plate and the second side plate are the same size, and two of the first side plate and the second side plate are provided with the same size and are symmetrically distributed along the horizontal central axis of the top plate.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting blocks are provided with four of the same size and are symmetrically distributed along the horizontal central axis of the top plate, and the limiting grooves are provided with four of the same size and are symmetrically distributed along the horizontal central axis of the second fixing plate, and the size of the limiting grooves is adapted to the size of the limiting blocks.

[0009] Preferably, the first rotating plate and the second rotating plate are matched in size, and the rotating block is provided with three of the same size.

[0010] Preferably, two of the circular hole, fixing plate, pull rope, connecting block and cylinder are provided, and they are symmetrically distributed along the horizontal central axis of the base plate. The size of the connecting block is adapted to the size of the circular hole.

[0011] Preferably, the circular grooves are provided in two identical sizes and are symmetrically distributed along the horizontal central axis of the first fixed plate, and the dimensions of the circular grooves are adapted to those of the cylinders.

[0012] Preferably, the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are adapted to the inner dimensions of the top plate, the first side plate and the second side plate, and the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are distributed in parallel along the vertical central axis of the limiting block.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This foldable pet cage, which is easy to carry outdoors, has four limiting blocks on the top plate that precisely fit and engage with four limiting slots on the second fixed plate. At the same time, rotating three rotating blocks make close contact with the second fixed plate, forming a fixation between the top plate and the fixed plate. After passing through the round hole, the cylinder is inserted into the round slot of the first fixed plate, realizing a firm connection between the bottom plate and the fixed plate. The first side plate and the second side plate are symmetrically distributed along the top plate. The first fixed plate and the second fixed plate are parallel to and adapted to the inner dimensions of the cage, so that the entire cage is evenly stressed and structurally stable when unfolded and used.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] 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.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a foldable pet cage that is easy to carry outdoors, including a top plate 1, a first side plate 2 rotatably connected to one side surface of the top plate 1, a second side plate 3 rotatably connected to one side surface of the first side plate 2, a rotating block 4 rotatably connected to one side surface of the top plate 1, a limiting block 5 fixedly connected to one side surface of the top plate 1 near the first side plate 2, and a fixing mechanism 6 provided on one side surface of the second side plate 3.

[0024] The fixing mechanism 6 includes a base plate 601 and a first rotating plate 607. The base plate 601 is rotatably connected to the surface of the second side plate 3 away from the top plate 1. The first rotating plate 607 is rotatably connected to the surface of the top plate 1 away from the rotating block 4. A circular hole 602 is provided on one side surface of the base plate 601. A fixing plate 603 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base plate 601 away from the top plate 1. A pull rope 604 is fixedly connected to one side surface of the fixing plate 603. A connecting block 605 is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rope 604 away from the fixing plate 603. A cylinder 606 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting block 605 away from the pull rope 604. A first fixing plate 608 is rotatably connected to one end of the first rotating plate 607 away from the top plate 1. A circular groove 609 is formed on the surface of plate 608 away from the first rotating plate 607. A second rotating plate 610 is rotatably connected to the surface of the base plate 601 away from the fixing piece 603. A second fixing plate 611 is rotatably connected to the end of the second rotating plate 610 away from the base plate 601. A limiting groove 612 is formed on one side surface of the second fixing plate 611. Through the arrangement of the base plate 601, circular hole 602, fixing piece 603, pull rope 604, connecting block 605, cylinder 606, first rotating plate 607, first fixing plate 608, circular groove 609, second rotating plate 610, second fixing plate 611, and limiting groove 612, in use, the base plate 601 is rotated to unfold it to a perpendicular state with the second side plate 3. As the bottom of the pet cage, the first rotating plate 607 and the second rotating plate 610 are then rotated. The first rotating plate 607 moves the first fixed plate 608, and the second rotating plate 610 moves the second fixed plate 611 until the first fixed plate 608 and the second fixed plate 611 are in contact with the inner sides of the top plate 1, the first side plate 2, and the second side plate 3. At this time, the four limiting blocks 5 on the top plate 1 will be inserted into the four limiting grooves 612 on the second fixed plate 611. Since the limiting blocks 5 and the limiting grooves 612 are matched in size, they can restrict and position the second fixed plate 611. Then, the rotating block 4 is rotated to make the rotating block 4 contact the second fixed plate 611, thus completing the connection between the top plate 1 and the second fixed plate 611. The first fixing plate 608 and the second fixing plate 611 are parallel to each other and work together with the top plate 1, the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 to form a closed pet cage space. Finally, the connecting block 605 is pulled, which causes the cylinder 606 to pass through the round hole 602 on the bottom plate 601 and is inserted into the round groove 609 on the first fixing plate 608. The fixing plate 603 connected by the pull rope 604, the cooperation between the connecting block 605 and the cylinder 606, and the engagement between the limiting block 5 and the limiting groove 612 are used to fix the entire pet cage frame, ensuring that the device structure is stable when the pet moves in the cage. Whether unfolded for use or folded for storage, no additional tools are required, and the operation process is simple and easy to understand.

[0025] Furthermore, the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 are the same size. Two first side plates 2 and two side plates 3 of the same size are provided and are symmetrically distributed along the horizontal central axis of the top plate 1. Through the setting of the first side plates 2 and the second side plates 3, the first side plates 2 and the second side plates 3 of the same size are designed to form a regular rectangular structure in the cage during use, without irregular protrusions or depressions. This not only ensures the flexibility of the pet in the cage, but also facilitates the precise docking and installation with the first fixing plate 608, the second fixing plate 611 and the bottom plate 601 that are adapted to the size.

[0026] Furthermore, four limit blocks 5 of the same size are provided and symmetrically distributed along the horizontal central axis of the top plate 1. Four limit grooves 612 of the same size are provided and symmetrically distributed along the horizontal central axis of the second fixing plate 611. The size of the limit grooves 612 is adapted to that of the limit blocks 5. Through the setting of the limit grooves 612 and the limit blocks 5, the symmetrically distributed multi-point engagement design ensures that the force borne by each limit block 5 and the limit groove 612 is relatively balanced during use, avoiding rapid wear of local parts due to excessive force, and effectively extending the service life of the limit structure.

[0027] Furthermore, the dimensions of the first rotating plate 607 and the second rotating plate 610 are adapted to each other, and three rotating blocks 4 of the same size are provided. Through the setting of the rotating blocks 4, during use, the three rotating blocks 4 of the same size can apply pressure to the second fixed plate 611 from multiple points. Compared with single-point fixing, this multi-point distributed pressure method can make the second fixed plate 611 more evenly stressed, effectively avoid deformation caused by excessive local stress, and at the same time greatly reduce the probability of the second fixed plate 611 disengaging from the limiting block 5, making the mechanism more stable.

[0028] Furthermore, two of the circular hole 602, fixing plate 603, pull rope 604, connecting block 605, and cylinder 606 are provided with the same size and are symmetrically distributed along the horizontal and vertical central axis of the base plate 601. The size of the connecting block 605 is adapted to the size of the circular hole 602. Through the setting of the connecting block 605 and the circular hole 602, the size adaptation design of the connecting block 605 and the circular hole 602 ensures that the connecting block 605 can smoothly pass through the circular hole 602 and achieve precise positioning, effectively avoiding the connection offset problem.

[0029] Furthermore, two circular grooves 609 of the same size are provided and are symmetrically distributed along the horizontal central axis of the first fixing plate 608. The dimensions of the circular grooves 609 and the cylinders 606 are adapted to each other. Through the arrangement of the circular grooves 609 and the cylinders 606, the size adaptation design of the circular grooves 609 and the cylinders 606 ensures a tight fit when engaged, effectively avoiding problems such as loosening and shaking.

[0030] Furthermore, the first fixing plate 608 and the second fixing plate 611 are adapted to the inner dimensions of the top plate 1, the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3. The first fixing plate 608 and the second fixing plate 611 are distributed in parallel along the vertical central axis of the limiting block 5. Through the arrangement of the first fixing plate 608, the second fixing plate 611, the top plate 1, the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3, the first fixing plate 608 and the second fixing plate 611 can provide effective support for the top plate 1, the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3 during use, making the structure more stable.

[0031] Working Principle: When using this foldable pet cage, first unfold the folded device. Since the top plate 1 is rotatably connected to the first side plate 2, and the first side plate 2 is rotatably connected to the second side plate 3 on one side, by rotating the first side plate 2 and the second side plate 3, the two together with the top plate 1 form the main frame of the pet cage. The two first side plates 2 and the second side plate 3, which are of the same size, are symmetrically distributed along the horizontal central axis of the top plate 1 to ensure the symmetrical and stable frame structure. Then, rotate the bottom plate 601 so that it unfolds to a vertical state with the second side plate 3, serving as the bottom of the pet cage. Next, rotate the first rotating plate 607 and the second rotating plate 610. The first rotating plate 607 drives the first fixed plate 608 to move, and the second rotating plate 610 drives the second fixed plate 611 to move until the first fixed plate 608 and the second fixed plate 611 are in contact with the inner sides of the top plate 1, the first side plate 2, and the second side plate 3. At this time, the four limiting blocks 5 on the top plate 1 will be locked into the second fixed plate 611 one by one. Within the four limiting slots 612, the limiting block 5 matches the size of the limiting slot 612, thus limiting and positioning the second fixing plate 611. Rotating the rotating block 4 brings it into contact with the second fixing plate 611, thereby fixing the top plate 1 to the second fixing plate 611. Simultaneously, the first fixing plate 608 and the second fixing plate 611 are parallel, working together with the top plate 1, the first side plate 2, and the second side plate 3 to form a closed pet cage space. Finally, pulling the connecting block 605 causes the cylinder 606 to pass through the round hole 602 on the bottom plate 601 and engage with the round groove 609 on the first fixing plate 608. Through the connection of the fixing piece 603 via the pull rope 604, the cooperation between the connecting block 605 and the cylinder 606, and the engagement of the limiting block 5 with the limiting slot 612, the entire pet cage frame is fixed, ensuring structural stability when the pet moves within the cage. This completes the process of using a foldable pet cage that is easy to carry outdoors.
