DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
The technical schemes in the examples of the application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the attached drawings in the examples of the application below, and obviously, the described examples are only part of the examples of the application, and are not all of the examples. Based on the example of the application, all other examples acquired by the ordinary technicians in the art without inventiveness, should be in the protection scope of the application.
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, an example t of the present application provides an animal keeping device 100, comprising a detachable top cover 10, a middle enclosure 20, and a base 30. The top cover 10 is provided with a first integrated component 11 for maintaining the internal environmental parameters of the animal keeping device 100; the middle enclosure 20 has openings at both ends; the base 30 is equipped with a second integrated component 31 for maintaining the internal environmental parameters of the animal keeping device 100; during assembly, the top cover 10 and the base 30 are respectively enclosed in the openings at both ends of the middle enclosure 20 to jointly enclose and form a storage space for animal keeping.
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, this example further includes a conductive component 40, which is encapsulated and fixed inside the middle enclosure 20 and partially exposed on the surface of the middle enclosure 20. The conductive component 40 is used for line connection; after the top cover 10, middle enclosure 20, and base 30 are assembled and fixed, the first integrated component 11 is connected to the second integrated component 31 through a conductive component 40.
The animal keeping device 100 proposed in this application provides a detachable animal keeping device 100 by setting a top cover 10, a middle enclosure 20, and a base 30; And there is a conductive component 40 installed inside the middle enclosure 20 for line conduction, which enables the top cover 10 and base 30 to be assembled and connected through the middle enclosure 20. The components inside the top cover 10 and base 30 can be electrically connected through the conductive component 40, avoiding situations such as exposed lines and staggered lines. This effectively solves the problem of line setup, improves product beauty, and also facilitates the product maintenance.
Among the existing pet keeping devices, most of them are box structures that can be assembled and disassembled without intelligent components and only have independent spatial functions; Based on the considerations of assembly accuracy, convenience and safety, most pet keeping devices equipped with intelligent components that need to be powered on are designed as non-detachable structures; In this example, the first integrated component 11 and the second integrated component 31 are preset inside the top cover 10 and the base 30, respectively, and are equipped with a middle enclosure 20 that matches the top cover 10 and the base 30. Users only need to assemble and fix the top cover 10, the middle enclosure 20, and the base 30 in sequence to complete the intelligent pet keeping device, effectively reducing the difficulty of users assembling their own pet keeping devices; And its detachable structure allows this pet keeping device to effectively reduce space occupancy and reduce transportation and storage costs during the production, transportation, and storage processes.
Referring to FIGS. 3 to 6, in one example, the conductive component 40 includes at least two conductive end seats 41 and a conductive wire group 42 connected at both ends to connect the lines between the two conductive end seats 41. The two conductive end seats 41 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the middle enclosure 20, the top cover 10, and the base 30, and are opposite to each other; The conductive component 40 also comprises a top cover matching end seat 43 and a base matching end seat 44 respectively arranged at two conductive end seats 41 corresponding to the top cover 10 and the base 30. The first integrated component 11 is electrically connected to the top cover matching end seat 43, and the second integrated component 31 is electrically connected to the base matching end seat 44.
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 6, after the top cover 10, the middle enclosure 20, and the base 30 are assembled and fixed, the top cover matching end seat 43 is connected to the conductive end seat 41 located at the end of the middle enclosure 20 and the top cover 10 assembly, and the base matching end seat 44 is connected to the conductive end seat 41 located at the end of the middle enclosure 20 and the base 30 assembly, in order to electrically connect the first integrated component 11 with the second integrated component 31.
By setting conductive end seats 41 at the two ends where the middle enclosure 20 contacts the top cover 10 and the base 30, and hiding the conductive wire group 42 inside the middle enclosure 20, the wires are not visible outside the middle enclosure 20, thereby improving the overall appearance of the product. Furthermore, the design of the conductive end seat 41 and the top cover matching end seat 43, as well as the base matching end seat 44, improves the convenience of the disassembly and assembly process of the animal keeping device 100. The user has fewer installation steps and lower dispersion of various components, reducing the difficulty of installation.
For example, the conductive end seat 41 can be set as a pin seat with several pins, and the top cover matching end seat 43 and the base matching end seat 44 are both equipped with a corresponding pin seat that matches the aforementioned pin seat. Several pins are inserted into the pin seat and electrically connected to the conductive wire group 42 inside the middle enclosure 20. The jack is provided with a conductive terminal which matches with several pins one by one and can be electrically connected with several pins one by one when the pin seat is connected with the jack seat in a pair way. The conductive terminal is connected with the internal lines of the top cover 10 and the base 30 respectively, so that the top cover 10 and the base 30 can realize line connection through the middle enclosure 20 after the middle enclosure 20 is assembled and fixed with the top cover 10 and the base 30 at the same time. Furthermore, this animal keeping device adopts an external power supply, and the power cord can be connected to the base 30 or top cover 10 as appropriate; when the power cord is connected to an external power source, the current can be connected to the top cover 10 through the base 30 connected to the power cord and the middle enclosure 20; alternatively, the current can be connected to the base 30 through the top cover 10 connected to the power cord and connected to the middle enclosure 20 for the power-on operation of the entire animal keeping device.
Referring to FIGS. 1, 3, and 4, in one example, the middle enclosure 20 comprises at least one column 21 and an enclosure board fixed along the length direction of the column 21 and extending away from the column 21, and the other end of the enclosure board is connected to the column 21 to form an enclosure structure with openings at both ends after the column 21 and the enclosure board are enclosed; Two conductive end seats 41 are respectively arranged at both ends of the column 21 along its length direction, and the conductive wire group 42 is encapsulated and arranged inside the column 21. For example, the top cover 10 and the base 30 can be arranged in a circular plate-like structure, and the middle enclosure 20 is correspondingly arranged in a cylindrical structure to adapt to the top cover 10 and the base 30. The enclosure board is arranged as a curved structure that is flattened into a rectangle, and any two opposite side edges of the curved structure are fixed to the column 21 at the same time, thereby forming a cylindrical structural component with upper and lower openings after being fixed through the connection of the column 21. It can be understood that the above is one of the embodiments of the middle enclosure 20 proposed in this application, where the curved structure refers to the structure with a curved surface that can be formed after the enclosure board is fixedly connected to the column 21. In other words, the enclosure board can be a structure that shows itself as a curved surface in State of nature, or a rectangular structure made of materials with bendable characteristics. This rectangular structure can bend under certain external forces to form a structure with curved surfaces.
Referring to FIGS. 1, 3, and 5, in an example, four columns 21 are arranged, and the enclosure board includes four enclosure veneers 220. The four enclosure veneers 220 are sequentially connected in a pairwise manner to form an enclosure structure with openings at both ends. The four columns 21 are fixed between any adjacent two enclosure veneers 220 and serve as the connecting axis for the two enclosure veneers 220; there are four conductive end seats 41, which are respectively arranged at the two ends of any two columns 21 in their respective length directions. The conductive wire group 42, the top cover matching end seat 43, and the base matching end seat 44 correspond to two columns 21 and are respectively arranged in two groups.
By setting the conductive wire group 42 inside the column 21 and the conductive end seat 41 at the two ends of the column 21, the internal wiring regularity of the animal keeping device 100 is further improved, and the problem of line interleaving is avoided. And the wire group used for conduction is prepackaged inside the column 21, which not only ensures the integrity of the structure after disassembly, but also facilitates user assembly, avoiding the defect of incorrect wiring caused by misunderstanding or mistakes.
In the examples shown in FIGS. 1-6, both the top cover 10 and the base 30 are arranged in a rectangular structure, with four columns 21 located at the four corners of the rectangle. The conductive end seat 41 and the conductive wire group 42 can be arranged in any one or more of the four columns 21. When the animals to be reared have low requirements for environmental conditions, such as the local species, their rest requirements for the surrounding environment are more consistent with the local sunshine, temperature and other conditions, or the animals to be reared have strong survival and adaptability, the corresponding animal keeping devices can use fewer integrated components, and their internal wiring groups and internal wiring can be reduced accordingly. Therefore, the conductive component 40 can be installed in only one column 21, and the entire animal keeping device can be connected through one column 21 to meet its energy supply needs. On the contrary, when the animals to be raised are opposite to the above situation, several additional conductive components 40 can be selected from the four columns 21, and even by simultaneously adding columns 21 and setting conductive components 40 on columns 21, the circuit can be connected and the energy supply needs can be met.
In the examples shown in FIGS. 1-6, the conductive component 40 is arranged on the back of the animal keeping device 100 in its normal use state, that is, the conductive component 40 is arranged on two columns 21 located on the back; In practical applications, the back of the product is usually set against a wall or facing away from the user's operating surface, while setting the conductive wire group 42 and conductive end seat 41 on the back of the product is beneficial for ensuring user electricity safety and avoiding potential leakage accidents after product damage. For example, the enclosure veneer 220 is made of acrylic material, which is transparent and convenient for users to watch animals. It also has a high anti-scratch coefficient, which can effectively prevent animals from scratching.
Referring to FIGS. 5 to 6, in one example, the top cover 10 corresponds to the conductive component 40 and is equipped with a foolproof structure 12. By improving the convenience of user installation through the foolproof structure 12, it can avoid the incorrect insertion of the conductive end seat 41 and the top cover matching end seat 43 due to user installation errors, resulting in damage to the end seat.
Referring to FIGS. 5 to 6, in one example, the foolproof structure 12 is connected to the top cover 10 facing the middle enclosure 20 and extends towards the direction near the middle enclosure 20.
Referring to FIGS. 5 to 6, in one example, the foolproof structure 12 is arranged as a foolproof sheet adapted to the outer edge of the column 21, which is connected to the top cover 10 facing the column 21 and located on the outer circumference of the top cover matching end seat 43. By setting foolproof sheets on the outer circumference of the top cover matching end seat 43 and the outer edge of the column 21, users can align the top cover 10 with the column 21 through the foolproof sheets, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the top cover 10 and the column 21.
Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, in another example, the foolproof structure 12 is arranged as a cord 121 extending in the direction of the column 21 and coaxial with the column 21. The cord 121 is connected to the top cover 10 facing the column 21 and is located in the center of the top cover matching end seat 43. The conductive end seat 41 is adapted to the cord 121 and is provided with a center hole 122, so that when the top cover 10 is assembled with the column 21, it can be connected to the column 21 through the foolproof structure 12.
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 8, in one example, it also includes a mounting bolt 50 for fixing and connecting the top cover 10, the column 21, and the base 30. The base 30 is equipped with a threaded installation groove 501, and the corresponding threaded installation groove 501 of the top cover 10 is equipped with a mounting hole 502. The column 21 is equipped with a hollow inner groove 503 for the mounting bolt 50 to pass through. The mounting bolt 50 passes through the top cover 10, and the column 21 is threaded to the threaded installation groove 501, so as to press and fix the column 21 between the top cover 10 and the base 30. For example, column 21 is equipped with a conduction groove 210, a conductive wire group 42 is arranged inside the conduction groove 210, the conductive end seat 41 is fixed at both ends of the conduction groove 210, and the hollow inner groove 503 is adjacent to the conducting groove 210 and parallel to the central axis of the conduction groove 210. The mounting bolt 50 can fix the top cover 10, middle enclosure 20 and base 30. Its installation method is simple and has strong stability.
Referring to FIGS. 3 and 5, in an example, the first integrated component 11 includes an exhaust fan 111 and a lighting module 112, and the second integrated component includes a heating pad 311, a display screen 312, an adjusting knob 313 and a temperature and humidity detector. Through the adjusting knob 313, exhaust fan 111, light module 112 and the working mode of heating pad 311 can be adjusted and controlled. For example, the base 30 includes an upper shell 33 and a lower shell 34, and the heating pad 311 is encapsulated inside the upper shell 33 and the lower shell 34 of the base. The heating pad can be set with a timed and constant temperature effect. If the nighttime is set, the temperature inside the box will decrease by 4 degrees after reaching the nighttime, imitating the natural effect of 4 degrees lower temperature at night than during the day. The exhaust fan 111 is used to exhaust the air inside the animal keeping device, so that the animals living in it can enjoy the fresh air; the lighting module 112 is used to simulate natural lighting, and its mode can be adjusted by adjusting knob 313, or it can be selected from preset modes by adjusting knob 313. Temperature and humidity detectors can be used to detect the temperature and humidity inside animal keeping devices, and connect warning devices. When the temperature or humidity reaches the warning value, a reminder will be issued, or corresponding adjustment mechanisms can be set to ensure that the environmental temperature, humidity, and other parameters meet their needs. The mounting bolts are equipped with hexagonal grooves, and the adjusting knob can be pulled out from the base through external force. The inner side has a hexagonal spoon shape that is compatible with the aforementioned hexagonal grooves. The mounting bolts, four columns, top cover, and base can be installed and fixed by adjusting knobs, without the need for additional hexagonal tools.
Referring to FIGS. 3, 5, and 9, in one example, the top cover 10, column 21, and base 30 are all equipped with an insertion groove 211 for the insertion of the enclosure board. For example, the enclosure veneer 220 located on the display screen of the animal keeping device is divided into two pieces, and there are clamping groove 601 at the top of the two enclosure boards 220. The top cover 10 corresponds to the clamping groove 601 and is equipped with a movable buckle 602. Moving the movable buckle 602 can fix or detach from the card slot 601, in order to lock or release the enclosure board 220, thereby achieving the purpose of locking and opening the door; Enclosure veneer 220 can be opened or closed by the sliding door 2201.
Referring to FIGS. 1-2 and 10, the present application also provides an animal keeping device 200, which includes at least two animal keeping devices 100 and a heterogeneous power-on component 300 as described in the above example. At least two animal keeping devices 100 are stacked along the central axis direction of the base 30 and the top cover 10. At the contact point of at least two animal keeping devices 100, a heterogeneous power-on component 300 is provided for the electrical connection between at least two animal keeping devices 100. For example, to improve the stability of stacking, a support foot 32 is provided at the bottom of the base 30, and a foot groove 320 corresponding to the foot 32 is provided on the top cover 10. When stacking two animal keeping devices 100, the foot 32 of the upper layer animal keeping device 100 can be aligned with the foot groove 320 of the lower animal keeping device 100.
The two stacked animal keeping devices 100 can be electrically connected through the heterogeneous power-on component 300. When in use, simply connect the animal keeping device 100 located on the bottom layer to an external power source to power on the animal keeping device 100 located on the upper layer of the stack to effectively improve space utilization, allow users to place multiple animal keeping devices 100 in a vertical space, and avoid the problem of multiple animal keeping devices 100 requiring independent wiring.
Referring to FIGS. 1-2, 5, and 11, in one example, the heterogeneous power-on component 300 includes a first electrified end 301 arranged on the surface of the top cover 10 away from the base 30, a second electrified end 302 arranged at a corresponding position of the base 30, and an electrified connection seat 303 respectively connected to the first electrification end 301 and the second electrification end 302; The electrified connection seat 303 is equipped with electrified spring 3031 that matches the first electrified end 301 and the second electrified end 302; The electrified connection seat 303 is embedded between the top cover 10 of the animal keeping device 100 located below the stacking direction and the base 30 of the animal keeping device 100 located above the stacking direction in at least two animal keeping devices 100, in order to achieve electrical connection between the two animal keeping devices 100 located on both sides of the electrified connection seat 303.
