[0014] 1 to 4, the present invention provides a machine-washable, removable cap protector. The cap protector includes a first support frame 1 and a second support frame 2. A top support mechanism 3 is provided at both the top end of the first support frame 1 and the top end of the second support frame 2. A plurality of first extension blocks 4 are welded to the inside of the first support frame 1, and the first extension blocks 4 have mounting holes. A first reinforcing rod 7 is welded to the inside of the first support frame 1, and the first reinforcing rod 7 has a plurality of mounting holes. A second reinforcing rod 8 is welded to the inside of the second support frame 2, and both the second support frame 2 and the second reinforcing rod 8 have mounting holes. A second extension block 9 is welded to the inside of the second support frame 2, and the second extension block 9 has a mounting hole.
[0015] The top support mechanism 3 includes a female buckle 6, a male buckle 10, an engagement slot 14, a first support rod 11, a second support rod 12, and a third support rod 13. The first support rod 11 is welded to the outside of the male buckle 10. Two first support rods 11 are provided, and are welded symmetrically to both sides of the male buckle 10. Two second support rods 12 are welded to the outside of the female buckle 6, and two second support rods 12 are provided, and are attached symmetrically to both sides of the female buckle 6. The male buckle 10 and the female buckle 6 are engaged with each other. The engagement slot 14 is opened in the female buckle 6, and the third support rod 13 is slidably installed within the engagement slot 14. During use, the third support rod 13 is placed within the engagement slot 14, and then the male buckle 10 is engaged with the female buckle 6 to complete assembly of the top support mechanism. The lower ends of the first support rod 11, the second support rod 12, and the third support rod 13 are then inserted into the corresponding mounting holes to complete the installation. In this way, the entire device is connected and assembly is complete. The device can be directly disassembled for transportation, making it easy to transport.
[0016] The bottom ends of the first support rod 11, the second support rod 12 and the third support rod 13 are provided with slits so that when the first support rod 11, the second support rod 12 and the third support rod 13 are inserted into the mounting holes, the bottom ends of the first support rod 11, the second support rod 12 and the third support rod 13 are respectively connected to the corresponding mounting holes; that is, before insertion, pressure is applied to the slit positions so that the bottom ends of the first support rod 11, the second support rod 12 and the third support rod 13 are deformed, and then the first support rod 11, the second support rod 12 and the third support rod 13 are inserted, at which time the deformed positions return to their original positions, thereby improving stability after installation.
[0017] A plurality of buckles 5 are attached to the outside of the first support frame 1, and the second support frame 2 is fixed to the top end of the first support frame 1 via the buckles 5, thereby making it easy to fix the second support frame 2 to the top end of the first support frame 1.
[0018] The operating principle is as follows: When in use, the third support rod 13 is placed in the engagement slot 14, and then the male buckle 10 is engaged with the female buckle 6 to complete the assembly of the top support mechanism. The lower ends of the first support rod 11, second support rod 12, and third support rod 13 are then inserted into the corresponding mounting holes to complete the installation. In this way, the entire device is assembled and fully assembled. It can be directly disassembled for transportation, making it easy to transport.
