In this embodiment, each set of locking mechanisms 130 has a locked state and an unlocked state, as shown in fig. 7 and 10, when the locking mechanism 130 is in the locked state, the plugging portion 121 is plugged into the corresponding slot 1121, and the locking portion 1311 is plugged into the locking slot 132 in a matching manner; as shown in fig. 3 and 5, when the locking mechanism 130 is in the unlocked state, the locking portion 1311 is disengaged from the locking groove 132, and the plugging portion 121 can be disengaged from the slot 1121.

Referring to fig. 5 and 10, in the present embodiment, the vertical cross-sectional shape of the locking member 131 is approximately "7", and when the locking mechanism 130 is in the locked state, the locking portion 1311 is located above the unlocking portion 1312, and the locking portion 1311 protrudes from the upper end portion of the locking member 131 toward the locking groove 132. At least part of the upper surface of the locking portion 1311 is located in a virtual cylindrical surface 200, and the center line of the virtual cylindrical surface 200 coincides with the rotation center line 1001, so that the upper surface of the locking portion 1311 is always located in the virtual cylindrical surface 200 during rotation of the locking member 131 about the rotation center line 1001. Further, when the lock mechanism 130 is in the locked state, the lower surface of the lock portion 1311 gradually extends obliquely away from the lock groove 132 from bottom to top.

Referring to fig. 8 to 10, the locking groove 132 may be a through hole or a blind hole, and in this embodiment, a blind hole is specifically formed. Corresponding to the locking member 131, the locking groove 132 has an upper side wall and a lower side wall, wherein the upper side wall is a cambered surface approximately parallel to or coincident with the above-mentioned virtual cylindrical surface 200, so that the upper surface of the locking portion 1311 can abut against or be clearance-fitted with the upper side wall of the locking groove 132 without interference during rotation of the locking member 131. The lower side wall of the locking groove 132 is a slope gradually rising from inside to outside, and the slope is inclined in a direction parallel to the lower surface of the locking portion 1311, so that the lower surface of the locking portion 1311 can be supported against the lower side wall of the locking groove 132 when the locking mechanism 130 is in the locked state. In this way, the overall structure of the locking groove 132 can cooperate with the locking portion 1311 to restrict the movement of the locking member 131 in the locked state, and the locking effect is stable; providing sliding guidance for the locking member 131 during unlocking, unlocking is smoother.

Referring to fig. 3 to 10, in the present embodiment, the locking mechanism 130 further includes an unlocking surface 133, the unlocking surface 133 is disposed on the side frame 120, the unlocking surface 133 is specifically disposed on the corresponding plugging portion 121 and is located below the locking groove 132, and when the locking mechanism 130 is in a locked state, the unlocking surface 133 gradually extends from top to bottom and is away from the locking member 131 in an inclined manner. In this embodiment, at least part of the unlocking surface 133 is an arc surface, and the arc surface is a concave surface gradually bending away from the locking member 131. Correspondingly, a side surface of the unlocking portion 1312 facing the unlocking surface 133 extends gradually away from the unlocking surface 133 from top to bottom, and is specifically herein a convex surface in shape matching with the unlocking surface 133. In other embodiments, the unlocking surface 133 and a side surface of the unlocking portion 1312 facing the unlocking surface 133 may be both inclined surfaces. When the locking mechanism 130 is in a locked state, the unlocking surface 133 is spaced from the unlocking portion 1312; when the lock member 131 is rotated clockwise to the bottom about the rotation center line 1001 (the view shown in fig. 10), the unlock portion 1312 can abut against the unlock surface 133; in the process of switching the locking mechanism 130 from the locking state to the unlocking state, the cambered surface of the unlocking surface 133 and the cambered surface of the unlocking portion 1312 can be mutually abutted or in clearance fit, so that the unlocking surface 133 can limit the rotation angle of the unlocking portion 1312 to a certain extent and provide guidance for the sliding of the locking member 131 along the plugging portion 121. On the other hand, when the plugging portion 121 is inserted into the slot 1121 from top to bottom, the unlocking surface 133 has a certain guiding function, so that the locking member 131 can accurately fall into the locking groove 132.

In this embodiment, due to the structural cooperation between the locking member 131, the locking groove 132 and the unlocking surface 133, the stable self-locking function of the locking member 131 can be achieved, the shaking of the side frame 120 is reduced, and particularly when the side frame 120 is subjected to an upward force, a gap is hardly generated between the locking groove 132 and the locking portion 1311, so that the locking portion 1311 and the locking groove 132 are not easy to slip, and the stability of the locking mechanism 130 in the locked state can be ensured. In other embodiments, the locking mechanism 130 may further include an elastic structure or a damping structure, such as a compression spring, a torsion spring, or the like, to provide the force required for inserting the locking member 131 into the locking groove 132, so that the locking member 131 can be firmly inserted into the locking groove 132 in the locked state, and is not easy to slip or shake.

The working principle of the pet cage in this embodiment is specifically described below:

the pet cage in this embodiment has the use state shown in fig. 1 and the disassembly state shown in fig. 2, when the pet cage is not used, the user can disassemble the two side frames 120 from the bottom frame 110, stack or separately store the two side frames, thereby significantly reducing the volume of the pet cage and facilitating storage or transportation.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, when the locking mechanism 130 is in the unlocked state, the plugging portion 121 of each side frame 120 can be disengaged from the corresponding slot 1121, and the side frame 120 is disconnected from the bottom frame 110.

Referring to fig. 4 and 5, when a user needs to assemble and convert the pet cage into a use state, the bottom frame 110 is first placed on a horizontal plane, so that the opening of the slot 1121 faces upwards. Next, the two plugging portions 121 of one side frame 120 are respectively plugged downward into the corresponding slots 1121, and the other side frame 120 is operated in the same manner, and the specific installation sequence is not required. The locking portion 1311 of each locking member 131 can slide upward along the unlocking surface 133 of the corresponding plug-in portion 121 in this process, and when the locking portion 1311 slides in place, the locking portion 1311 of each locking member 131 is manually pressed so that the locking portion 1311 rotates and falls into the corresponding locking groove 132, thereby achieving locking. In addition, the pet cage can be assembled into a use state by being matched with the top frame 141 and the auxiliary frame 142 of the pet cage.

Referring to fig. 2-5, when the user needs to store the pet cage and change the locking mechanism 130 from the locked state to the unlocked state, the above steps are only needed to be reversed: the unlocking portions 1312 of the locking members 131 in each set of locking mechanisms 130 are pressed inward to rotate the locking members 131 by a certain angle, thereby disengaging the corresponding locking portions 1311 from the locking grooves 132, and unlocking all four sets of locking mechanisms 130 in sequence or simultaneously. Then, the two plugging portions 121 of the two side frames 120 are pulled out from the corresponding slots 1121 of the bottom frame 110, so that the side frames 120 are detached. Finally, all the side frames 120 and the rest components can be stacked and stored or separately stored.

To sum up, the pet cage that this embodiment provided, the installation is dismantled nimble convenient, and the locking is firm and easy operation can satisfy the requirement of quick detach assembly.

The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present utility model and to implement the same, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model, and all equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present utility model should be included in the scope of the present utility model.
