Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reptile breeding technology, specifically a modular PVC reptile breeding box that is easy to assemble and clean. Background Technology

[0002] Reptile pets are a type of pet that keeps snails and freshwater snails from the class Gastropoda of the phylum Arthropoda and Mollusca, as well as cold-blooded animals such as amphibians and reptiles from the phylum Chordata. This new culture of keeping reptiles contrasts sharply with traditional pets such as cats and dogs, and is suitable for a wide range of groups.

[0003] For example, Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. (CN210869250U) discloses a novel reptile enclosure that is easy to clean. This enclosure includes a cabinet body with a wire mesh cage around its perimeter. A wire mesh panel is horizontally fixed inside the cabinet body, and a ladder is connected to one side of the mesh panel. A drain plate is located at the bottom of the cabinet body, with manure outlets on both sides of the drain plate. A manure scraper is abutting against the top of the drain plate, and a rack is fixedly connected to the end of the scraper. A gear is meshed with the top of the rack, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the center of one side of the gear. A fixed plate is located on one side of the cabinet body near the gear, and the end of the rotating shaft passes through the fixed plate and extends to the outside of the cabinet body, where a rotating handle is connected. The cabinet has support plates fixed to both sides of its bottom. An inclined manure guide plate is fixed to the inside of the support plates. Urine holes are evenly distributed on the inclined manure guide plate. A urine chute is located at the bottom of the inclined manure guide plate, and a urine collection bucket is connected to the bottom of the urine chute. A manure guide strip is located at one edge of the inclined manure guide plate, and a manure collection box is located below the manure guide strip. This practical solution solves the problem that when reptiles rest, eat, and defecate in the pet room, food scraps and excrement tend to accumulate after long-term use, causing environmental pollution in the pet room, greatly reducing the pet's living comfort, and making it time-consuming and laborious for humans to clean the pet room.

[0004] However, the reptile enclosure in this patent can only house a single breed or a docile reptile. If there are many breeds of reptiles, multiple reptile enclosures are needed to house them separately. However, the multiple reptile enclosures cannot be modularly organized, resulting in an excessively large area required and affecting practicality. Utility Model Content

A second sliding groove 309 is provided on the upper surface of the box cover 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, the length, width, and height of the mating plate 304 are adapted to the length, width, and height of the connecting groove 302, respectively. The length of the connecting groove 302 is less than the length of the connecting plate 301. There are two connecting plates 301, which are symmetrically distributed vertically around the central axis of the housing 1. The number of mating plates 304 is equal to the number of connecting plates 301, and their positions correspond one-to-one. Each connecting plate 301 has two first sliding grooves 303, which are symmetrically distributed vertically around the central axis of the connecting plate 301. Each mating plate 304 has multiple mounting ports 305 and an equal number of first pulleys 306, which are equidistantly distributed on the mating plate 304.

[0028] It should be noted that the distance between the inner top wall of the upper first slide groove 303 and the inner bottom wall of the lower first slide groove 303 in two adjacent first slide grooves 303 is adapted to the outer diameter of the first pulley 306, and the width of the first pulley 306 is adapted to the width of the first slide groove 303, so that the left and right directions of the mating plate 304 are limited. There are two second slide grooves 309, which are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the central axis of the box cover 2. There are four second pulleys 308, which are two in a group and symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the central axis of the box body 1. The positions of the two groups of second pulleys 308 correspond to the positions of the two second slide grooves 309, and the width of the second slide groove 309 is adapted to the width of the second pulley 308.

[0029] For details, please refer to Figure 4 To facilitate cleaning of the inside of the feeding box, the cleaning mechanism 4 includes a connecting rod 401. One end of the connecting rod 401 is fixed to the lower surface of the box cover 2, and the other end of the connecting rod 401 is fixed to a base plate 402. A sealing ring 403 is fixed to the outside of the base plate 402. A placement groove 404 is provided on the upper surface of the box cover 2. A third handle 405 is hinged to the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the placement groove 404 through a hinge shaft.

[0030] In this embodiment, there are four connecting rods 401, which are evenly distributed at the four corners of the upper surface of the base plate 402.

[0031] It should be noted that the length of the sealing ring 403 is adapted to the distance between the left and right inner walls of the box 1, and the width of the sealing ring 403 is adapted to the distance between the front and rear inner walls of the box 1, so that the bottom plate 402 can move inside the box 1 and prevent objects such as sand from falling below the bottom plate 402.

[0032] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0033] (1) When raising multiple different species of reptiles, multiple enclosures are needed to raise them separately. At this time, these enclosures need to be assembled to reduce the space occupied by the enclosures. Align the mating plate 304 on the right enclosure 1 with the connecting plate 301 on the left enclosure 1. Insert the mating plate 304 on the left side into the connecting groove 302 on the right side from front to back, so that the first pulley 306 enters the first sliding groove 303 on the right side, which facilitates the movement of the enclosure 1. At the same time, it can also limit the left and right directions of the mating plate 304. After the enclosures in the horizontal direction are assembled together, they can be assembled in the vertical direction. The second pulley 308 on the upper enclosure 1 slides into the second sliding groove 309 on the lower enclosure cover 2, which also facilitates the movement of the enclosure 1. The lower second sliding groove 309 limits the left and right directions of the upper second pulley 308, so that the second pulley 308 can only move in the front and back directions, to avoid the assembly from being offset.

[0034] (2) After all the feeding boxes are assembled, each box 1 is neatly arranged. When any box 1 needs to be removed, it can be pulled directly from the assembled feeding box group from back to front. The other boxes 1 will not be affected by the support and limiting effect of the connecting plate 301 and the mating plate 304. If it is necessary to clean the box 1 after it is removed, the box cover 2 can be lifted directly through the third handle 405. The box cover 2 drives the connecting rod 401 to move, and the connecting rod 401 drives the bottom plate 402 to move. Move all objects inside the box 1 out to clean the base plate 402 and the inside of the box 1, and replace the sand. After cleaning, the base plate 402 can be put back into the box 1. After moving it a short distance into the box 1, new sand and cleaned decorations or climbing frames can be placed on the base plate 402. After placing them, move the base plate 402 to the bottom of the box 1 to complete the cleaning and replacement work. The sealing ring 403 can prevent sand from leaking to the bottom of the base plate 402 when it is moved.

[0035] 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.
