[0023] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, a pet cage includes a cage body 100 comprising a cage opening 110, and a door body 200 configured to cover the cage opening 110. The cage body 100 is provided with (or comprises) a rotating shaft 120 at one end of the cage opening 110 and a hanging bar 130 at the other end of the cage opening 110, and the hanging bar 130 and the rotating shaft 120 are oppositely disposed. The door body 200 includes a door sheet 210, and a rotation portion 220 is disposed on the lower side of the door sheet 210. One end of the rotation portion 220 connects to the door sheet 210, and the other end of the rotation portion 220 is provided with a fold-over edge 222. A hook portion 230 is disposed on the upper side of the door sheet 210. The rotation portion 220 includes a rotation groove 221, the hook portion 230 includes a hook groove 231, and the rotation groove 221 and the hook groove 231 are oppositely disposed. When the door sheet 210 covers the cage opening 110, as shown in FIG. 2, an opening of the rotation groove 221 faces upward, and an opening of the hook groove faces downward. The rotating shaft 120 is sheathed inside the rotation groove 221 so that the rotation portion 220 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 120, and the hook portion 230 is configured to be hooked to the hanging bar 130. The depth of the rotation groove 221 is greater than the depth of the hook groove 231. The door sheet 210 is provided with a handle 300.

[0024] Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, when the pet cage of the present disclosure is assembled, only the rotation portion 220 of the door body 200 needs to be buckled to the rotating shaft 120, and then the door body 200 is rotated, so that the hook portion 230 is buckled to the hanging bar 130 and the door body 200 blocks the cage opening.

[0025] When the door body 200 needs to be opened, the handle 300 is held by a hand to lift the door body 200, so that the hook portion 230 is separated from the hanging bar 130. After the separation, because the rotating shaft 120 is still sheathed inside the rotation portion 220, the door body 200 can be flipped outward, so that the door body 200 is flipped downward and opened. FIG. 3 shows a case that the door body 200 is opened.

[0026] When the door body 200 needs to be closed, the handle 300 is held by a hand to flip the door body 200 upward, so that the hook portion 230 is located directly above the hanging bar 130, and the hook groove 231 faces the hanging bar 130. Then, the door body 200 is released, which drops under the effect of gravity, so that the hook portion 230 is hooked to the hanging bar 130. The rotating shaft 120 is always sheathed inside the rotation portion 220. With the coordination of the hook portion 230 and the rotation portion 220, the door body 200 tightly blocks the cage opening 110, thereby effectively preventing pets from escaping. In addition, self-locking is implemented through self-gravity of the door body 200 without the need for a conventional cage lock structure. The structure is simpler and is easier to use.

[0027] In some embodiments, the rotation portion 220 is in a U shape, and the bottom of the rotation portion 220 is in an arc shape. There are two rotation portions 220, and the two rotation portions 220 are respectively located on the left and right sides at the bottom end of the door sheet 210. Similarly, there are also two hook portions 230, and the two hook portions 230 are respectively located on the left and right sides at the top end of the door sheet 210.

[0028] In some embodiments, the bottom edge of the door sheet 210 is further provided with a support boss 240. When the door sheet 210 is closed, the bottom of the door sheet 210 abuts against the rotating shaft 120 with the support boss 240, the bottom surface of the hook groove 231 abuts against the top surface of the hanging bar 130, so that the force acting on the hanging bar 130 is shared by the rotating shaft 120.

[0029] In some embodiments, an abutting portion 250 is provided on a top edge of the door sheet 210, and the abutting portion 250 is configured to abut against the cage body 100. The cross-section of the abutting portion 250 may be in a V shape. Generally, the cage body 100 includes a plurality of cross arms, and a gap is reserved between the cross arms. When the door body 200 is closed, a tip of the abutting portion 250 is stuck between the cross arms. The abutting portion 250 plays a blocking function to some extent, thereby effectively reducing the risk of accidentally opening the door body 210. When the door needs to be opened, the door sheet 210 is vigorously lifted. In the process of lifting the door sheet 210, because the abutting portion 250 is elastic to some extent, the abutting portion 250 is separated from the cage body 110.

[0030] In addition, because there is a gap between the door sheet 210 and the cage body 100 in the forward-and-backward direction, the door sheet 210 may be slightly pulled out, so that the abutting portion 250 is separated from the cage body 100 for more convenient opening.

[0031] In some embodiments, the door sheet 210 is provided with a reinforcing rib 260. The reinforcing rib 260 is annular and surrounds the outline of the door sheet 210.

[0032] In some embodiments, the door sheet 210, the rotation portion 220, the hook portion 230, the support boss 240, the abutting portion 250, and the reinforcing rib 260 are integrally formed. Processing and forming the door body 200 by using one steel plate can improve the processing efficiency of the door body 200 and enhance the overall strength of the door body 200.

[0033] In some embodiments, the handle 300 is also integrally formed with the door body 200.

[0034] Implementations of the present disclosure are described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. A person skilled in the art may further make various equivalent variations or replacements without departing from the principles of the present disclosure. These equivalent variations or replacements all fall within the scope of the claims of the present application.
