[0127] This document describes the technical concepts and implications of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings and exemplary embodiments. In the drawings and descriptions, identical or similar parts are represented by identical or corresponding element symbols. Furthermore, the drawings are drawn to facilitate understanding, and the sizes and shapes of the elements shown in the drawings do not represent actual sizes or proportions. Furthermore, the following description of the drawings and exemplary embodiments is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure to a single embodiment; other implementations are possible by replacing some or all of the described or illustrated elements. Furthermore, where some or all of the elements in the disclosed embodiments may be replaced with known elements, in some cases, only the portions of these known elements necessary for understanding the embodiments of the present disclosure are described, and detailed descriptions of the remaining known elements are omitted to avoid obscuring the concepts and embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be noted that, as used herein, terms such as "front" and "rear" are defined relative to the vehicle's forward direction. That is, in the context of this disclosure, the direction toward the front of the vehicle or the front seats (i.e., the side relatively far from the rear seatbacks) is considered "front," and the direction toward the rear of the vehicle or the rear seats (i.e., the side relatively close to the rear seatbacks) is considered "rear." Please refer to FIG. 1A , which schematically illustrates an animal transport device 10 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment of the animal transport device 10 generally comprises an animal carrier 20 and a vehicle-mounted fixed base 30. The fixed base 30 is designed to be mounted on a rear seat (not shown) and secured within the vehicle. The animal carrier 20 can be secured to the fixed base 30 and, through the fixed base 30, secured to the rear seat. Referring also to FIG1B , the animal carrier 20 and fixed base 30 of the animal transport device of this embodiment are further described. According to this embodiment, the animal carrier 20 primarily comprises a box 22 or cage structure, which houses an animal (or pet) for transportation. A pull rod 24 is provided on one side of the box 22 of the animal carrier 20. When the animal carrier 20 is not coupled to the fixed base 30, a user (e.g., but not limited to an animal owner or caregiver) can move the animal carrier 20 by pulling the pull rod 24 and utilizing casters (not numbered in the figure, and described further below) on the bottom of the box. In this embodiment, the animal carrier 20 can be secured to the fixed base 30 via its bottom fixing bracket 25 (described further below). The fixed base 30 is designed to be mounted on the rear seat of a vehicle (not shown). Thus, the animal carrier 20 is securely fixed to the rear seat of the vehicle via the fixed base 30.As shown in Figure 1B , the fixed base 30 includes a support column 31 and at least one pair of connectors 32 (only one of which is shown). The fixed base 30 is securely connected to corresponding anchor points on the vehicle's rear seat via connectors 32 (such as, but not limited to, ISOFIX connectors) generally located on both sides. The support column 31 is a telescopic structure that can be extended to contact the vehicle's rear seat floor (not shown). With the support column 31 fully contacting the rear seat floor, the fixed base 30 is more stably supported. The fixed base 30 includes a carrier mounting portion 33 for accommodating and securing the animal carrier 20. In this embodiment, the carrier mounting portion 33 engages with the bottom bracket 25 of the animal carrier 20 to accommodate and secure the animal carrier 20. As shown in FIG1B , the carrier mounting portion 33 is primarily composed of ridges 331 and 332. Ridges 331 and 332 can form a contour corresponding to the bottom of the animal carrier 20. Ridges 331 and 332 are respectively provided with grooves 331A and 331B and 332A and 332B near the ends of the ridges 331 and 332. Grooves 331A and 332A together form a first fixing portion 33A for the base 30, while grooves 331B and 332B together form a second fixing portion 33B for the base 30. The first fixing portion 33A and the second fixing portion 33B are designed to receive and engage corresponding structures on the bottom fixing frame 25 of the animal carrier 20, such as a rectangular frame or fixing rod (not marked with a ring symbol in the figure, but will be further described below), thereby securing the animal carrier 20 to the base 30. In this embodiment, the animal carrier 20 is secured in the vehicle such that the tie rod assembly 24 is located on the rear side of the box 22 of the animal carrier 20 (i.e., on the side closest to the rear seatback when installed in the vehicle). Optionally, the animal transport system 10 may further include a stabilizing webbing to further stabilize the box 22 of the animal carrier 20 while the vehicle is in motion. As shown in FIG1C , the stabilizing webbing 40 surrounds the periphery of the box 22 of the carrier 20 and the tie rod assembly 24, tightening the box 22 and the tie rod assembly 24 together to prevent the box 22 from swaying during movement, which could cause the box door 26 to open or even cause the box 22 to separate from the tie rod assembly 24. Alternatively, the stabilizing webbing 40 may only surround and tighten the box 22, namely, passing through the gap between the tie rod assembly 24 and the rear side of the box 22 to surround the periphery of the box 22 to prevent the box door 26 from opening due to swaying of the box 22.In this embodiment, the stabilizing webbing 40 can be, for example, a non-elastic webbing with complementary fasteners 42 at both ends for connection. By selecting the appropriate type of fastener 42 (e.g., a Japanese buckle, an adjustable buckle, etc.), the length of the stabilizing webbing 40 can be adjusted to appropriately tighten the case 22 (or the case 22 and the pull rod assembly 24), thereby stabilizing the case 22 and preventing the door 26 from opening due to shaking while the vehicle is in motion. Alternatively, the stabilizing webbing 40 can be a closed elastic webbing, utilizing the elasticity of the elastic webbing to appropriately tighten the case 22 (or the case 22 and the pull rod assembly 24), stabilizing the case 22 and preventing the door 26 from shaking or even opening while the vehicle is in motion. Referring to Figures 2A to 2C , an animal carrier 200 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is schematically illustrated. Figures 2A and 2B are top perspective views of the animal carrier 200, while Figure 2C is a bottom plan view schematically illustrating a bottom mounting bracket 250 of the animal carrier 200. As shown in Figure 2A , the animal carrier 200 primarily comprises a box or cage structure for transporting animals (or pets). Specifically, the box 220 of the animal carrier 200 is formed by connecting opposing top and bottom surfaces 221 and 222, opposing first and second side surfaces 223 and 224, and opposing third and fourth side surfaces 225 and 226. In this embodiment, the first and second side surfaces 223 and 224 are, for example, long sides, while the third and fourth side surfaces 225 and 226 are, for example, short sides. The interior of the box 220 forms an enclosed animal accommodation space for the animal. Depending on the actual application, the enclosure 220 may include at least one opening that can be closed by a door 26 for animal entry and exit. For example, an upper opening 221A may be provided on the top surface 221 of the enclosure 220, or a side opening 223A may be provided on the long side 223 (or short side 225 or short side 226) of the enclosure 220, or both. It should be noted that both the upper opening 221A and the side opening 223A may be provided with a closable door, such as a door panel or flap (such as the door 26 in FIG. 2A ). The door 26 closes after the animal enters the enclosure 220 to prevent the animal from leaving or moving out of the enclosure 220.As shown in Figures 2B and 2C , the animal carrier 200 is equipped with casters 231 to 234 at the four corners of the bottom 222 of the housing 220. The casters 231 to 234 are mounted on the mounting surfaces (i.e., the surfaces facing away from the housing 220) of their respective wheel mounts 231A to 234A. The wheel mounts 231A to 234A are connected to the four corners of the bottom 222 to secure the casters 231 to 234. The wheel mounts 231A to 234A have grooves 231B to 234B on their surfaces facing the housing 220 for connection to the bottom mounting bracket 250 (described further below). As shown in Figures 2B and 2C , the animal carrier 200 of this embodiment has a pull rod 240 on the rear side of the box 220 (the side closest to the vehicle's rear seatback, in this embodiment, the second side or "side" 224) for the user to grasp and pull. This, in conjunction with the casters 231 to 234, facilitates pulling and transporting the animal carrier 200 while traveling. The bottom 222 of the box 220 has an integrated bottom mounting bracket 250 for coupling with a vehicle-mounted mounting base (such as the mounting base 30 shown in Figures 1A to 1C ), thereby allowing the animal carrier 200 to be installed and secured within the vehicle. According to this embodiment, the box 220 of the animal carrier 200 can be made of, for example, hard plastic. In other words, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG2A , the top surface 221, bottom surface 222, first and second side surfaces (long sides) 223 and 224, third and fourth side surfaces (short sides) 225 and 226, and door 26 of the box 220 are all made of a suitable hard plastic material, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Alternatively, a soft fabric (e.g., canvas, high-weight non-woven fabric, etc.) may be used as the box body, and the access openings on the top or sides of the box body may be closed with zippers, Velcro, or clips. In this embodiment, the pull rod assembly 240 and bottom bracket 250 of the animal carrier 200 may be made of, for example, metal. As shown in FIG2B and FIG2C , the bottom bracket 250 is coupled to the bottom surface 222 of the box body 220. The bottom mounting frame 250 and the pull rod assembly 240 of the animal carrier 200 are integrally integrated with a reinforced side frame 270 (described further below), also made of metal. They are fixedly connected, for example, by welding. Specifically, as shown in FIG2C , the bottom mounting frame 250 comprises a rectangular frame 251 formed by connecting four metal pipes (a pair of opposing long pipes and a pair of opposing short pipes), and two fixing rods 252 and 253 that span and are welded to the opposing short pipes.The shape of the rectangular frame 251 corresponds to the bottom surface 222 of the box 220; in other words, the metal pipes surrounding the bottom rectangular frame 251 correspond to the first side surface 223, the first side surface 224, the third side surface 225, and the fourth side surface 226, respectively. The bottom fixing frame 250 is fixed to the bottom surface 222 of the box 220 by a fitting or snap-fitting manner, for example, fitting into the fitting grooves 231B to 234B of the four wheel seats 231A to 234A of the box 220, thereby forming an integral and inseparable connection with the box 220. As shown in FIG. 2B , in this embodiment, the wheel seats 231A to 234A have a height H and a bottom edge thereof has a thickness t1. The height H is greater than the sum of the diameter of the tube member constituting the rectangular frame 251 and the bottom edge thickness t1. Therefore, when the tube member is embedded in the embedding groove (e.g., embedding groove 231B) of the wheel seat (e.g., wheel seat 231A), a gap t2 is created between the rectangular frame 251 connected to the wheel seats 231A to 234A via the embedding groove 231B to 234B and the lower edge of the bottom surface 222 of the box 220. As a result, a gap t2 of the same size is created between the fixing rods 252 and 253 and the lower edge of the bottom surface 222 of the box 220. This gap t2 provides a gap between the fixing rods 252 and 253 when the bottom fixing frame 250 is connected to the first fixing portion and the second fixing portion of the carrier mounting portion of the fixing base with its fixing rods 252 and 253. 253 forms a connecting space connecting the first and second fixing portions. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG2B , the second side 224 of the housing 220 (i.e., the long side on which the tie rod assembly 240 is mounted) further includes a reinforced side frame 270 fixedly coupled thereto. The profile of the reinforced side frame 270 corresponds to the second side (long side) 224. It comprises a rectangular frame formed by four metal pipes (a pair of opposing top and bottom pipes and a pair of opposing side pipes, where the bottom pipe can be one of the long pipes of the rectangular frame 251 of the bottom fixing frame 250) and two hollow pipes 241 and 242 that are fixedly connected to the two opposing top and bottom pipes. In this embodiment, the tie rod 243 of the tie rod assembly 240 is, for example, a U-shaped pipe with a smaller diameter than the hollow pipes 241 and 242, so that it can be sleeved within the hollow pipes 241 and 242 to form a telescopic configuration.In other words, the hollow tubes 241 and 242 not only form part of the reinforced side frame 270 and provide support strength, but also form part of the pull rod assembly 240, forming a retractable pull rod assembly 240. By applying force to the grip portion 244 of the pull rod assembly 240, the user can extend (e.g., while walking) or retract the pull rod assembly 240 in different usage scenarios (e.g., when the animal carrier 200 is secured to a fixed base within a vehicle). In this embodiment, as shown in FIG2B , the reinforced side frame 270 is connected to the bottom fixing frame 250 on one side and is substantially perpendicular to the other. As previously described, the reinforced side frame 270 and the rectangular frame 251 of the bottom fixing frame 250 can share a long tube (i.e., the long tube 254 shown in FIG2B ) to form a connection on one side. Preferably, the animal carrier 200 further includes two reinforcing ribs 281 and 282, respectively connecting the short tubes of the rectangular frame 251 of the bottom fixing frame 250 and the corresponding side tubes of the reinforcing side frame 270, thereby strengthening the overall structure of the carrier. As previously described, in this embodiment, the bottom fixing frame 250, the reinforcing side frame 270, and the reinforcing ribs 281 and 282 can all be made of, for example, metal and secured to each other via welding. They can also be connected to the bottom 222 and long sides 224 of the rigid case 220 via sleeves, interlocking, or snap connections. Preferably, the bottom fixing frame 250, the reinforcing side frame 270, and the reinforcing ribs 281 and 282 are respectively embedded in the bottom 222, long sides 224, and short sides 225 and 226 of the case 220, or are encased therein, for example, by plastic molding, thereby forming a single-piece structure with the case 220. In other words, the box 220 of the animal carrier 200 of this embodiment is fixedly and inseparablely connected to the bottom mounting bracket 250, the reinforced side frame 270, and the tie rod assembly 240. The box 220 is stably secured within the vehicle by engaging the fixing rods 252 and 253 of the bottom mounting bracket 250 with the fixing portions (e.g., the first fixing portion 33A and the second fixing portion 33B shown in FIG. 1B ) of a fixed base (e.g., the fixed base 30 shown in FIG. 1A through FIG. 1C ) installed within the vehicle. To accommodate different fixed base configurations, the present disclosure further proposes different bottom mounting bracket designs to match corresponding fixed foot bases. Please refer to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B , which illustrate an animal carrier 300 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The animal carrier 300 is substantially similar to the previously described animal carrier 2.This embodiment of the animal carrier 300 has the same configuration and structure, and its components are made of the same materials and connected in the same manner as the previously described animal carrier 200. However, the difference lies in that, in this embodiment, the bottom bracket 350 on the bottom surface 322 of the box 320 of the animal carrier 300 has only a single fixing rod 353, forming a single-fixing rod type bracket. Similarly, the box 320 of this embodiment of the animal carrier 300 is fixedly and inseparablely connected to the bottom bracket 350, the reinforced side frames 370, and the tie rod assembly 340. The single fixing rod 353 of the bottom bracket 350 engages with a fixing portion of the fixing base (such as the second fixing portion 33B shown in FIG. 1B ), thereby stably securing the animal carrier 300 within the vehicle. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3C , the animal carrier 300 of FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B may also utilize the single fixing rod 353 of the bottom bracket 350 to engage with a fixing portion 33C of a single-slot fixing base 30C. In this embodiment, the so-called "single-slot anchor base" 30C refers to a single anchor portion 33C on the spine of the carrier mounting portion, whose contour corresponds to the bottom bracket 350. The anchor base 30C is securely connected to corresponding anchor points on the vehicle's rear seat via connectors 32C (such as, but not limited to, ISOFIX connectors) generally disposed on either side. The anchor base 30C is then extended to contact the vehicle's rear floor (not shown) via retractable support columns 31C. With the support columns 31C fully contacting the rear floor, the anchor base 30C is more stably supported. Aside from the anchor portion 33C, the rest of the structure of the anchor base 30C is identical to the anchor base 30 shown in FIG. Please refer to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B , which illustrate an animal carrier 400 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The animal carrier 400 essentially has the same configuration and structure as the previously described animal carriers 200 and 300 . The materials and connection methods of its components are also the same as those of the previously described animal carriers 200 and 300 . However, in this embodiment, the bottom bracket 450 on the bottom surface 422 of the box 420 of the animal carrier 400 is not equipped with additional fixing rods. Instead, the bottom bracket 450 itself has a rectangular frame structure, which is directly connected to the corresponding fixing portion of the fixing base via a long tube forming the rectangular frame. Similarly, the box 420 of the animal carrier 400 of this embodiment is fixedly and inseparablely connected to the bottom bracket 450, the reinforcing side frame 470, and the tie rod assembly 440. The long tube forming the bottom bracket 450 engages with a fixing portion of the fixing base (e.g., the second fixing portion 33B shown in FIG. 1B ), thereby stably securing the animal carrier 400 within the vehicle.Alternatively, the animal carrier 400 of this embodiment may utilize only one of the two long tubes constituting the bottom fixing frame 450 to engage with the fixing portion of the fixed base (e.g., the fixing portion 330 shown in FIG. 3C ). Please refer to FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B , which illustrate an animal carrier 500 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The animal carrier 500 essentially has the same configuration and structure as the previously disclosed animal carriers 200 , 300 , and 400 . The materials and connection methods of the components included therein are also the same as those of the previously disclosed animal carriers 200 , 300 , and 400 . However, there is a difference: in this embodiment, the bottom fixing frame 550 on the bottom surface 522 of the box 520 of the animal carrier 500 does not have an additional fixing rod. The bottom fixing frame 550 itself has a double-concave structure. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5B , the bottom fixing frame 550 is composed of a long tube 551, a short tube 552, and a A metal frame is formed by connecting the long tube 553 and the short tube 554 in sequence. The long tube 553 has a curved structure, with recesses 553A and 553B formed inwardly on the bottom surface 522 of the box 520 (as shown in FIG. 5B ), which are designed to interlock with the corresponding fixed portions of the fixed base. In this embodiment, the curved structure of the long tube 553 allows the recesses 553A and 553B to interlock with the fixed portion of the fixed base, properly positioning the animal carrier 500 relative to the fixed base. Furthermore, the frame portion 553C of the long tube 553, beyond the recesses 553A and 553B, can abut against the outer edge of the bottom surface 522, providing effective support for the box 26. Specifically, a metal block (not shown) can be placed over the frame portion 553C, with one side of the metal block abutting against the bottom surface 522, thereby indirectly abutting against the bottom surface 522. Similarly, In this embodiment of the animal carrier 50, the box 520 is fixedly and inseparablely connected to the bottom fixing frame 550, the reinforced side frame 570, and the tie rod assembly 540. The bottom fixing frame 550 engages with a fixing portion of the fixed base (e.g., fixing portion 33C shown in FIG. 3C ), thereby stably securing the animal carrier 600 within the vehicle. Please refer to FIG. 6 , which illustrates an animal carrier 600 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Animal carrier 600 essentially has the same structure as the previously disclosed animal carrier 200, including components made of the same materials and connected in the same manner. However, the difference lies in that in this embodiment, the animal carrier 600 is arranged in a different orientation than the previously disclosed animal carrier 200.As shown in FIG6 , in this embodiment, an animal carrier 600 includes a housing 620 formed by connecting opposing top and bottom surfaces 621 and 622, opposing first and second side surfaces 623 and 624, and opposing first and fourth side surfaces 625 and 626. The housing 620 defines an enclosed animal accommodation space for the animal. For example, in this embodiment, the first and second side surfaces 623 and 624 are a pair of opposing long sides, while the third and fourth side surfaces 625 and 626 are a pair of opposing short sides. Depending on the application, the housing 620 may include at least one opening that can be closed by a door (such as the door 26 shown in FIG1C , not shown in this figure) for animal entry and exit. In this embodiment, an upper opening 621A is defined on the top surface 621 of the box 620, and a side opening 625A is defined on the short side 625 of the front side of the box 620 (i.e., the side facing away from the rear seatback when installed in a vehicle). In this embodiment, both the upper opening 621A and the side opening 625A are provided with a closable door, such as a door panel or flap (not shown). After the animal enters the box 620, the door closes to prevent the animal from leaving or moving out of the box 620. Although not shown, the animal carrier 600 of this embodiment may further include a stabilizing webbing (such as the stabilizing webbing 40 shown in FIG. 1C ) to secure the box 622, or to secure the box 622, the door, and the pull rod assembly 640 together. This further stabilizes the box 622 and door of the animal carrier 600 during vehicle travel, preventing the door from swaying or even opening while the vehicle is in motion. Similarly, in this embodiment, the animal carrier 600 can be secured to a fixed base (not shown, such as the fixed base 30 shown in FIG. 1A ) using a bottom fixing frame (not shown) integrated with the bottom surface 622 of the box body 620. The fixed base is configured to be mounted on a rear seat (not shown) of a vehicle. Thus, the animal carrier 600 is securely fixed to the rear seat of the vehicle via the fixed base. 7A and 7B illustrate an animal carrier 700 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG7A , the animal carrier 700 is provided with casters 731 to 734 at the four corners of the bottom surface 722 of the housing 720. The casters 731 to 734 are mounted on mounting surfaces (i.e., surfaces facing away from the housing 720) of respective wheel mounts 731A to 734A. The wheel mounts 731A to 734A are connected to the four corners of the bottom surface 722 to secure the respective casters 731 to 734.The wheel bases 731A-734A are provided with grooves 731B-734B on the side facing the housing 720 for connection to a bottom mounting bracket 750 (described further below). A difference from the previously described animal carriers 200-500 is that in this embodiment, a pull rod 740 is provided on the fourth side (short side) 726 of the housing 720 of the animal carrier 700 for the user to grasp and pull. This facilitates the pulling and transport of the animal carrier 700 while traveling, facilitated by the casters 731-734. The bottom surface 722 of the housing 720 is provided with an integrated bottom mounting bracket 750, which is designed to engage with a fixed base (such as the fixed base 30 shown in Figures 1A-1C) to accommodate and secure the animal carrier 700. When the animal carrier 700 is coupled to a fixed base, one difference from the previously described animal carriers 200 to 500 is that the lever assembly 740 of this embodiment is not located near the backrest of the car seat (not shown) as shown in FIG1A , but is instead located on the other side, approximately perpendicular to the backrest. This allows the user to grasp the lever assembly 740 without being obstructed by the seat back, facilitating movement of the animal carrier 700. In this embodiment, the lever assembly 740 and the bottom bracket 750 of the animal carrier 700 can be made, for example, of metal. As shown in FIG7A and FIG7B , the bottom bracket 750 is coupled to the bottom surface 722 of the housing 720. The bottom bracket 750 and lever assembly 740 of the animal carrier are integrally coupled to the short side reinforcement frame 770, also made of metal, and are fixedly connected to each other, for example, by welding. Specifically, the bottom bracket 750 is composed of a rectangular frame 751 formed by connecting four metal pipes (a pair of opposing long pipes and a pair of opposing short pipes), and two fixing rods 752 and 753 (shown in FIG. 7B ) that span and are welded to the opposing short pipes. The bottom bracket 750 is embedded or snapped onto the bottom surface 722 of the housing 720, for example, within the grooves 731B to 734B of the four wheel seats 731A to 734A of the housing 720, thereby forming a single unit with the housing 720.As shown in FIG7A , in this embodiment, the wheel seats 731A to 734A have a height H and a bottom edge thickness U. As described above, because the height H is greater than the wheel seat bottom edge thickness 11 and the diameter of the long frame tube, when the tube is embedded in the embedding groove (e.g., embedding groove 731B) of the wheel seat (e.g., wheel seat 731A), this height H allows a gap t2 to exist between the rectangular frame 751 connected to the wheel seats 731A to 734A via the embedding grooves 731B to 734B and the lower edge of the bottom surface 722 of the box 720. Consequently, a gap t2 of the same size exists between the fixing rods 752 and 753 and the lower edge of the bottom surface 722 of the box 720. This gap 12 provides space for the fixing rods 752 and 753 to connect to the corresponding fixing portions of the carrier mounting portion of the fixed base when the bottom fixing frame 750 is mounted to the corresponding fixing portions of the carrier mounting portion of the fixed base via the fixing rods 752 and 753. In this embodiment, in addition to the integrated short-side reinforcement frame 770 on the short side 726 where the pull rod assembly 740 is located, the animal carrier 700 also includes a long-side reinforcement frame 780 fixedly attached to one of the long sides (e.g., long side 724) of the box 720. In this embodiment, the profiles of the short-side reinforcement frame 770 and the long-side reinforcement frame 780 correspond to the short side 726 and long side 724 of the box 720, respectively. The short-side reinforcement frame 770 is fixedly connected to the short side of the rectangular frame 751 of the bottom fixing frame 750 (e.g., via a shared short tube 756) and is generally perpendicular to the bottom fixing frame 750. The short-side reinforcement frame 770 comprises a pair of hollow tubes 741 and 742 that are fixed between the short tube 756 shared by the bottom fixing frame 750 and the short-side reinforcement frame 770 and another short tube of the short-side reinforcement frame 770. In this embodiment, the tie rod 743 of the tie rod assembly 740 is, for example, a U-shaped tube with a smaller diameter than the hollow tubes 741 and 742. Therefore, it can be nested within the hollow tubes 741 and 742, creating a retractable configuration. In other words, the hollow tubes 741 and 742 not only form part of the short-side reinforcing frame 770, providing support strength, but also form part of the tie rod assembly 740, creating a retractable tie rod assembly 740. By applying force to the grip 744 of the tie rod assembly 740, the user can extend (e.g., while walking) or retract the tie rod assembly 740 (e.g., when the animal carrier 700 is secured to a fixed base within a vehicle) in different usage scenarios. The long-side reinforcing frame 780 is fixedly connected to the long side of the rectangular frame 751 of the bottom fixing frame 750 (e.g., via a shared long tube 754) and is generally perpendicular to the bottom fixing frame 750.In this embodiment, the bottom bracket 750 is further integrated with the short side reinforcement frames 770 and the long side reinforcement frames 780, further strengthening the overall structure of the carrier. Furthermore, since the long side reinforcement frames 780 rest against the backrest of the vehicle seat when the animal carrier 700 is attached to the vehicle's fixed base, they can absorb the impact force in the event of a vehicle collision, thereby protecting the pet inside the animal carrier 700. As previously described, in this embodiment, the bottom bracket 750, the short side reinforcement frames 770, and the long side reinforcement frames 780 can all be made of metal, for example, and are secured to each other via welding. They can also be connected to the bottom 722, short side 726, and long side 724 of the hard case 720 by interlocking or snapping, forming a one-piece, inseparable structure. Preferably, the bottom fixing frame 750, the reinforced side frames 770, and the long side reinforcing side frames 780 are respectively embedded in the bottom surface 722, the short side 726, and the long side 724 of the box 720, or are encased therein using, for example, plastic molding, thereby forming an integral structure with the box 720. As previously described, the present disclosure further proposes different bottom fixing frame designs to match the corresponding fixing base configurations. Please refer to Figures 8A and 8B, which illustrate an animal carrier 800 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Animal carrier 800 essentially has the same configuration and structure as the previously disclosed animal carrier 700, and the materials and connection methods of its components are also the same as those of the previously disclosed animal carrier 700. However, the difference is that in this embodiment, the bottom fixing frame 850 on the bottom surface 822 of the box 820 of the animal carrier 800 has only a single fixing rod 853, forming a single-fixing rod type fixing frame. Similarly, the box 820 of the animal carrier 800 of this embodiment is fixedly and inseparablely connected to the bottom bracket 850, the tie rod assembly 840, the short side reinforcement side frames 870, and the long side reinforcement side frames 880. A single fixing rod 853 of the bottom bracket 850 engages a fixing portion of the fixing base (e.g., the second fixing portion 330 shown in FIG. 3C ), thereby stably securing the box 820 within the vehicle. Please refer to FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B , which illustrate an animal carrier 900 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.The animal carrier 900 essentially shares the same configuration and structure as the previously described animal carriers 700 and 800 . The materials and connection methods of its components are also the same as those of the previously described animal carriers 700 and 800 . However, in this embodiment, the bottom fixing frame 950 on the bottom surface 922 of the housing 920 of the animal carrier 900 lacks additional fixing rods. Instead, the bottom fixing frame 950 itself exhibits a square-shaped structure. Specifically, as shown in FIG9A , the bottom fixing frame 950 comprises a metal frame formed by connecting a K-tube 951, a short tube 952, a K-tube 953, and a short tube 954. The K-tube 953 has a bent structure, forming a recessed portion 953A on the bottom surface 922 of the housing 920 for interlocking connection with a corresponding fixing portion of the fixing base. In this embodiment, the long tube 953 has a curved structure that can be interlocked with the fixed portion of the fixed base via the clearance portion 953A, thereby properly positioning the animal carrier 900 relative to the fixed base. Furthermore, the frame portions 953B and 953C of the long tube 953 outside the clearance portion 953A can abut against the outer edge of the bottom surface 922, providing effective support for the box 26. Specifically, a metal block (not shown) can be placed over the frame portions 953B and 953C, with one side of the metal block abutting against the bottom surface 922, thereby indirectly abutting against the bottom surface 922. Similarly, the box 920 of the animal carrier 900 of this embodiment is fixedly and inseparablely connected to the bottom fixing bracket 950, the tie rod assembly 940, the short side reinforcement side frames 970, and the long side reinforcement side frames 980. The bottom fixing bracket 950 is then coupled to a fixing portion of the fixed base (e.g., the second fixing portion 33B shown in FIG. 1B ), thereby stably securing the box 920 within the vehicle. Please refer to FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B , which illustrate an animal carrier 1000 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The animal carrier 1000 essentially has the same configuration and structure as the previously described animal carriers 700, 800, and 900. The materials and connection methods of its components are also the same as those of the previously described animal carriers 700, 800, and 900. However, the difference is that, in this embodiment, the bottom fixing frame 1050 on the bottom surface 1022 of the housing 1020 of the animal carrier 1000 does not have additional fixing rods. Instead, the bottom fixing frame 1050 itself has a rectangular frame structure, which is directly connected to the corresponding fixing portion of the fixing base using the tube forming the rectangular frame.Similarly, the box 1020 of the animal carrier 1000 of this embodiment is fixedly and inseparablely connected to the bottom fixing frame 1050, the pull rod assembly 1040, the short side reinforcement side frames 1070, and the long side reinforcement side frames 1080. The bottom fixing frame 1050 is connected to the fixed portion of the fixed base, thereby stably securing the animal carrier within the vehicle. Optionally, in this embodiment, the gripping portion 1044 of the pull rod assembly 1040 is pivotally connected to the ends of its two branches 1045 and 1046. In other words, the branches 1045 and 1046 are pivotally connected to the ends of the U-shaped gripping portion 1044 via pivoting portions 1045A and 1046A, respectively. This allows the gripping portion 1044 to be adjusted in angle and direction relative to the branches 1045 and 1046, providing a more convenient and comfortable pulling experience for the user. It should be understood that the tie rod device 1040 with a pivoting portion in this embodiment can replace the tie rod devices in the various aforementioned embodiments. As previously described, in the present disclosure, an animal carrier is securely mounted in a vehicle by engaging its bottom mounting bracket or its mounting rod with the carrier mounting portion of a fixed base. According to the present disclosure, in addition to securely connecting the fixed base to anchor points on the vehicle's rear seat using support columns and at least one pair of connectors (such as, but not limited to, ISOFIX connectors), it may further include an anchor device (top tether) to further secure the animal carrier to an anchor point (not shown) on the rear seat, as described below. Please refer to FIG. 11A , which illustrates an animal transport device HOOA according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The animal transport device 1100A includes an animal carrier 1120A and a fixed base 1130A. In this embodiment, the fixed base 1130A is abutted against the vehicle's rear floorboards via its support posts 1131A and securely connected to the vehicle's rear seat anchor points via at least one pair of connectors (not shown). As previously described, the animal carrier H20A is correspondingly connected to the fixed base 1130A via a bottom mounting bracket (not shown) located on its bottom surface 1122A, thereby allowing installation within the vehicle. In this embodiment, the animal carrier 1120A further includes an anchoring device consisting of a webbing 1150A and a connector 1155A. One end of the webbing 1150A is secured to the bottom surface 1122A of the animal carrier 1120A, or to the bottom mounting bracket or base 1130A, near the rear side (where the pull rod is located). The other end of the webbing 1150A is connected to the connector 1155A and is secured to a corresponding fixing point (not shown) above the rear seat of the vehicle or extending beyond the seat to the rear bottom as an anchoring point.In embodiments where the webbing 1150A is secured to the bottom mounting frame, the securing method may be to connect a hook, quick-release buckle, D-hook, magnetic element, or other connector to one end of the webbing and then connect the webbing to the tubular member of the bottom mounting frame via the connector. This embodiment allows the webbing to be detached from the bottom mounting frame when the animal carrier is detached from the fixed foot base, achieving the technical effect of easy storage and convenient carrying. Furthermore, while this embodiment includes only one webbing 1150A and connector 1155A, the present invention is not limited thereto. More than one set of webbing 1150A and connector 1155A, for example, two sets, may be included and symmetrically secured to the bottom of the box 1122A, the bottom mounting frame, or the fixed base 1130A. Referring to FIG. HB , an animal transport device HOOB according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated. The animal transport device 1100B includes an animal carrier 1120B and a fixed base 1130B. Similarly, the animal carrier 1120B of the animal transport device 1100B of this embodiment further includes an anchoring device consisting of a webbing 1150B and a connector 1155B. One end of the webbing 1150B is fixed to the bottom surface 1122B of the animal carrier 1120B, or to the bottom fixing frame or fixing base 1130B, near the front side (relatively away from the back of the vehicle's rear seat), and the other end is connected to the connector 1155B to be fixed to a corresponding fixing point (not shown) above the rear seat of the vehicle or extending beyond the seat to the rear bottom as an anchoring point. In this manner, webbing 1150B extends through the long side of the animal carrier 1120B's case (i.e., the side relatively away from the vehicle's rear seatback), wrapping around the entire case before being secured to a corresponding fixing point above the vehicle's rear seat or extending beyond the seat to the rear bottom via connector 1155B. This provides more stable support and securement for the animal transport device 1100B within the vehicle. Referring to FIG. 12A , an animal transport device 1200A according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is illustrated. The animal transport device 1200A includes an animal carrier 1220A and a fixed base 1230A. This embodiment of the animal transport device 1200A has the same configuration and structure as the previously described animal transport device 1100A; the difference is that, in this embodiment, the anchoring device included in the animal carrier 1220A is configured in a Y-shaped structure. In detail, the anchoring device mainly includes a first webbing 1251A, a first webbing 1252A and a connecting webbing 1250A.One end of each of the first and second webbings 1251A and 1252A can be connected to the same side of a central adjuster (not shown), or can be joined (e.g., sewn) to the same side of the adjuster. The other ends of each of the first and second webbings 1251A and 1252A are secured to the bottom surface 1222A of the animal carrier 1220A, near the rear (the side with the pull rod), or to the bottom mounting bracket or base 1230A. In embodiments where the first and second webbings 1251A and 1252A are secured to the bottom mounting bracket, the securing method can be achieved by attaching a hook, quick-release buckle, D-hook, magnetic element, or other connector to one end of the webbing, and then connecting the webbing to the tubular member of the bottom mounting bracket via the connector. This embodiment allows the webbings to be detached from the bottom mounting bracket when the animal carrier is detached from the base, making it easy to store and carry. In this embodiment, one end of the connecting webbing 1250A extends through the other side of the adjuster, connecting to the first webbing 1251A and the second webbing 1252A. The other end of the connecting webbing 1250A is connected to a connector (e.g., a hook) 1255A, which is used to secure it to a corresponding anchor point (not shown) above the rear seat of the vehicle, or extending beyond the seat to the rear bottom of the seat, serving as an anchor point. This creates a Y-shaped structure. In this way, the second webbing 1251A and the first webbing 1252A evenly distribute the anchoring force, providing more stable support and securement for the animal transport carrier 1200A within the vehicle. Furthermore, in this embodiment, mutually attractive magnetic elements (not shown) may be embedded or attached to the first webbing 1251A and the second webbing 1252A, ensuring their adhesion. This anchoring device creates an aesthetically pleasing and simple appearance. Please refer to Figure 12B, which illustrates an animal transport device 1200B according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Animal transport device 1200B includes an animal carrier 1220B and a fixing base 1230B. This embodiment of animal transport device 1200B has the same configuration and structure as the previously described animal transport device 1200A; however, in this embodiment, one end of the first webbing 1251B and the second webbing 1252B are secured to the bottom surface of the animal carrier 1220B's case, near the front (the side facing away from the rear seatbacks).In this manner, the first and second webbing straps 1251B and 1252B extend through the long sides 1223B of the animal carrier 1220B, wrapping around the entire case before being secured to a corresponding fixing point above the rear seat of the vehicle or extending beyond the seat to the rear bottom via connector 1255B. This provides more stable support and securement for the animal transport device 1200B within the vehicle. In this disclosure, the terms "integrated securing device" or "integrated securing device" refer to securing devices that are directly fixed or embedded in the bottom of the case, integrating with the case. This allows the animal carrier to be secured to the vehicle seat directly through the case itself and a corresponding fixing base. In summary, this disclosure provides an animal transport device and carrier with an integrated securing device, as well as a corresponding securing device. According to the present disclosure, the animal carrier's securing device (bottom mounting bracket) is directly fixed or embedded in the bottom of the box and integrated with the animal carrier's pull rod assembly, reinforced side frames, and other components to form an integral structure. This structure is inseparably connected to the animal carrier's box. Therefore, the box's bottom mounting bracket can be directly and stably secured to the corresponding fixed base, thereby securely attaching the vehicle's rear seat for stable transportation.
