Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of reptile enclosures, specifically relating to a PVC reptile enclosure that is easy to lock. Background Technology

[0002] In reptile keeping, the reliability of the locking mechanism and the ease of access to the enclosure are core user requirements. Existing reptile enclosures have two major pain points: First, the locking structure design is cumbersome. Most products use multi-clamp distributed locking or complex bolt fixing methods. When feeding, cleaning, or taking the reptile out, multiple locking parts need to be operated one by one. This is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also prone to the possibility of some buckles not being locked, causing the reptile to push open the enclosure lid and escape. Some simple locking structures (such as a single pin or ordinary buckle) have insufficient locking force and cannot withstand the continuous impact and pushing of the reptile, resulting in poor safety.

[0003] Secondly, most existing reptile enclosures use a partial opening design, where the lid can only be partially flipped or slid open, resulting in a limited opening area. This design presents significant inconvenience in practical use: when it is necessary to place larger reptiles (such as adult lizards or pythons) inside or remove them for examination or interaction, the narrow opening space can easily cause the reptile's body to be scratched by the edge of the lid, or the insufficient operating space can cause the reptile to be startled and struggle, increasing the difficulty of taking them in and out. At the same time, the partial opening also restricts the keeper from thoroughly cleaning the bedding, adjusting the landscaping, or replacing large decorations inside the enclosure. It requires repeatedly moving the reptile or disassembling the enclosure structure, which is cumbersome and easily disturbs the reptile. To solve the above problems, a PVC reptile enclosure that is easy to lock is proposed. Utility Model Content

It realizes the dual needs of full opening for taking out and putting in and convenient locking, and improves the safety and efficiency of breeding operations.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a PVC reptile enclosure that is easy to lock, including a base box and two frames; the frames are located on top of the base box and connected to the base box through two connectors; two symmetrically arranged limiting frames are provided on the top of the frames, the limiting frames are L-shaped plate structures, and a fixing member is provided through the top of the limiting frames;

[0006] Synchronizing components are located on the front of the bottom box and connected to the two front connecting components;

[0007] The top plate can be slidably inserted into each limiting bracket, and the fastener is inserted into the inside of the top plate;

Detailed Implementation

[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a PVC reptile breeding box that is easy to lock, including a base box 1 and two frames 2;

[0023] The base box 1, serving as the basic load-bearing structure of the enclosure, is made of food-grade PVC sheet through a single injection molding process. PVC material is lightweight, high-strength, moisture-proof, and corrosion-resistant, reducing weight by more than 60% compared to glass, making it easy to move and place without the risk of breakage. Compared to wood, it can effectively resist the erosion of reptile excrement and washing water, is not prone to mold, and has a longer service life. The top of the base box 1 has a rectangular groove structure with smooth, burr-free inner walls to prevent scratching the reptile's body surface.

[0024] The enclosure 2 is the side protection structure of the feeding box. It is made of high-strength PVC extrusion molding, which has good pressure resistance and toughness and can withstand the scratching and impact of reptiles without deformation. The two enclosures 2 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the top of the bottom box 1 and connected to the bottom box 1 through two connectors 3.

[0025] The enclosure 2 is located on top of the base box 1 and is connected to the base box 1 through two connectors 3; the top of the enclosure 2 is provided with two symmetrically arranged limiting frames 4. The limiting frames 4 are L-shaped plate structures. The limiting frames 4 are made of PVC material and are integrally formed with the enclosure 2. The top of the limiting frames 4 is provided with a fixing piece 5.

[0026] Synchronizing component 6 is located on the front of the bottom box 1 and connected to the two front connecting components 3;

[0027] The top plate 7 can be slidably inserted into each limiting frame 4. The fixing piece 5 is inserted into the top plate 7. The top plate 7 is the top closed structure of the feeding box. It is made of high-strength PVC board, which has good compressive strength and toughness and can withstand a certain amount of external impact without deformation. The length of the top plate 7 is the same as the length of the bottom box 1, and the width is slightly larger than the inner distance between the two frames 2 after they are closed, so as to ensure that the top opening of the frame 2 can be completely covered after the limiting frame 4 is inserted to form a closed space.

[0028] The two enclosures 2 can be unfolded via connectors 3, which are used to keep the enclosures 2 horizontally unfolded and retracted. After the top plate 7 is inserted into the limiting frame 4, it limits the unfolding trajectory of the enclosures 2. When the top plate 7 is fully inserted into the limiting frame 4 of the two enclosures 2, the enclosures 2 are restricted to the closed state and cannot be unfolded outward, ensuring the sealing and safety of the feeding box. The fixing piece 5 is used to fix the top plate 7. The synchronizing piece 6 is used to make the two enclosures 2 unfold and retract synchronously.

[0029] Specifically, refer to Figure 2-3 Connector 3 includes

[0030] Rotating shaft 31: Four rotating shafts 31 are fixed to the two ends of the bottom of the frame 2 and the two ends of the top of the base box 1 by screws. The rotating shafts 31 are also made of PVC sheet.

[0031] Connecting rod 32: The two ends of the connecting rod 32 are connected to two opposite rotating shafts 31 through a hinge structure, and the hinges are fitted with clearance. Each enclosure 2 has four connecting rods 32, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the enclosure 2. The connecting piece 3, through the synergistic action of the rotating shaft 31 and the connecting rod 32, can keep the enclosure 2 in a horizontal state when unfolded. When the two enclosures 2 are closed, they form a closed breeding space. When the enclosure 2 is unfolded, the top of the bottom box 1 forms a fully open opening, which completely solves the problem of inconvenience of traditional partial opening for taking out and putting in, making it easy to put in and take out large reptiles and to clean the inside of the box thoroughly.

[0032] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 Fastener 5 includes

[0033] Insert rod 51: The insert rod 51 is made of PVC with a conical bottom, which makes it easy to insert into the top plate 7. The top of the insert rod 51 is fixedly connected to the pull block 52, and the bottom can slide through the top of the horizontal section of the limit frame 4 and be inserted into the corresponding insertion hole in the top plate 7 to ensure that the insert rod 51 is firmly connected after insertion and resists the pushing impact of the reptile.

[0034] Pull block 52: Pull block 52 is a cylindrical structure made of PVC material with anti-slip texture on the surface to increase the friction between the hand and the pull block 52, making it easy for the breeder to lift and operate; the top of the pull block 52 can be set with a color mark such as red to make it easy to quickly identify the position of the fixing part 5 and avoid the problem of missing locking in the traditional multi-clamp design.

[0035] Spring 53: Spring 53 is a compression spring made of spring steel. It is sleeved on the outer wall of the insert rod 51, and its two ends are tightly fitted to the bottom of the pull block 52 and the top of the limit frame 4, respectively. When the spring 53 is in its natural state, the bottom end of the insert rod 51 automatically inserts into the socket of the top plate 7, realizing one-click locking without having to operate multiple parts one by one. When the pull block 52 is pulled up, the spring 53 is compressed, the insert rod 51 is pulled out from the socket, and the top plate 7 can be quickly removed. This elastic locking structure requires no additional tools and has high operating efficiency.

[0036] Specifically, refer to Figure 2-3 Synchronization component 6 includes

[0037] Gear 61: Two gears 61 are fixed to the bottom outer wall of the two connecting rods 32 on the front side by key connection; the axis of gear 61 coincides with the axis of the rotating shaft 31 to ensure that gear 61 rotates synchronously when the connecting rod 32 rotates;

[0038] Support frame 62: The support frame 62 is a U-shaped structure, made of stainless steel and integrally formed with the base box 1. It is located in the middle of the front of the base box 1. Inside, there is a bearing seat that matches the rotating rod 63. A rolling bearing is installed in the bearing seat to reduce the friction when the rotating rod 63 rotates.

[0039] Rotating rod 63: Rotating rod 63 is a stainless steel round rod with both ends passing through the bearing seats of support frame 62. Anti-slip grip can be set in the middle of rotating rod 63 to facilitate the rotation operation by the breeder.

[0040] Gear 2 64: Two gears 2 64 are fixed to both ends of the rotating rod 63 by key connection. The number of teeth and module of gear 2 64 are the same as those of gear 1 61 to ensure precise meshing and avoid jamming during transmission. When rotating rod 63 is rotated, gear 2 64 drives gear 1 61 on both sides to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. In turn, the connecting rod 32 drives the two enclosures 2 to expand or contract synchronously. There is no need to operate with both hands separately, which effectively avoids structural deformation or misalignment caused by over-expansion of one side of enclosure 2, and makes the switching of the fully open state smoother and less labor-intensive.

[0041] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-3 The outer wall of the enclosure 2 has several ventilation holes 8; a transparent viewing window 9 is embedded in the outer wall of the enclosure 2, and the transparent viewing window 9 penetrates the enclosure 2.

[0042] In this embodiment, the ventilation holes 8 are arranged in a matrix to ensure smooth airflow inside the enclosure, while preventing reptiles' limbs or heads from protruding from the holes and causing entrapment. Compared to the haphazardly distributed ventilation holes in traditional enclosures, this uniform distribution design makes ventilation more even, effectively regulating the temperature and humidity inside the enclosure, reducing localized stuffiness or dampness, and providing a stable living environment for reptiles. The transparent viewing window 9 is made of high-transparency acrylic sheet and is fixed to the central area of ​​the frame 2 through an embedded structure. The area of ​​the transparent viewing window 9 accounts for more than 60% of the side wall area of ​​the frame 2, ensuring a wide viewing angle. Acrylic sheets have higher transparency than ordinary glass and excellent scratch resistance. The surface is treated with an anti-scratch coating, and it can remain clear and transparent even after long-term use, making it easy for keepers to observe the reptiles' activity status, eating status, and health status in real time without opening the enclosure, reducing disturbance to the reptiles.

[0043] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The top of the top plate 7 is equipped with a handle 10; the four corners of the top plate 7 are all equipped with inclined surfaces for guidance.

[0044] In this embodiment, the handle 10 is made of PVC material and integrally molded with the top plate 7. It is located in the middle of the top of the top plate 7 and has a U-shaped structure, which makes it easy for the breeder to grab and lift the top plate 7, making the operation more effortless. Guide slope: There are 45° guide slopes at the four corners of the top plate 7, which can effectively guide the top plate 7 to be quickly inserted into the slot of the limiting frame 4, avoiding insertion difficulties caused by corner jamming, and improving the convenience of locking operation. The upper surface of the top plate 7 has a socket corresponding to the position of the fixing part 5, which is adapted to the insertion rod 51. The inner wall of the socket is provided with a wear-resistant rubber pad to reduce the wear of the top plate 7 caused by repeated insertion of the insertion rod 51 and extend its service life.

[0045] Working principle

[0046] When it is necessary to put in or take out reptiles or to thoroughly clean the enclosure, the keeper holds the non-slip grip in the middle of the rotating rod 63 and rotates the rotating rod 63 clockwise or pulls one side of the enclosure 2. The gears 64 at both ends of the rotating rod 63 rotate synchronously. Through the precise meshing of gears 64 and gear 61, the two connecting rods 32 on the front side rotate synchronously in opposite directions. Then, through the rotating shaft 31, the two enclosures 2 are driven to expand outward synchronously along the top of the bottom box 1. At this time, the top of the bottom box 1 forms an unobstructed, fully open opening, which completely solves the problem of insufficient space in traditional partial openings. This facilitates the safe placement and removal of large reptiles, thorough cleaning of bedding, and adjustment of landscaping, and avoids frightening or scratching the reptiles.

[0047] After the operation is completed, rotate the lever 63 counterclockwise or push the enclosure 2. Through the transmission action of the synchronizing component 6, the two enclosures 2 will close inward synchronously until they are tightly fitted with the mounting groove on the top of the base box 1. Then, the keeper holds the handle 10 on the top plate 7 and, through the guide slopes at the four corners of the top plate 7, aligns the top plate 7 with the slots of the limiting frame 4 on the top of the two enclosures 2 and inserts it smoothly. After the top plate 7 is inserted, it limits the enclosure 2 and prevents the enclosure 2 from accidentally unfolding. At this time, the spring 53 in the fixing component 5 pushes the bottom end of the insertion rod 51 to automatically insert into the insertion hole of the top plate 7 in its natural state, realizing one-click locking. Compared with the traditional multi-buckle locking, the operation steps are greatly simplified, and the locking force is continuously stable, which can effectively resist the push of the reptile and avoid the risk of escape.

[0048] When it is necessary to operate again, the keeper only needs to pull the pull block 52 of the fixing part 5 upward with one hand. The pull block 52 drives the insertion rod 51 to move upward, the spring 53 is compressed, and the insertion rod 51 is pulled out from the insertion hole of the top plate 7, releasing the locking state. After holding the handle 10 to remove the top plate 7, the enclosure 2 can be unfolded again by rotating the rotating rod 63. The whole process is convenient and efficient, without complicated operation.

[0049] The evenly distributed ventilation holes 8 on the enclosure 2 ensure smooth air circulation inside the enclosure, maintain stable temperature and humidity, and provide a suitable living environment for reptiles; the embedded transparent viewing window 9 provides the keeper with a clear and wide observation angle, allowing real-time monitoring of the reptile's status without opening the enclosure, reducing disturbance to the reptile.

[0050] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
