[0002] Cat climbing frames are a relatively common pet product. The mainstream cat climbing frames on the market currently use appearance changes as their main competitive feature. Cat climbing frames that are based on function are roughly of the following types: those that change in material, such as the "all-bamboo environmentally friendly composite cat climbing frame" with application number CN202210454925.8; those that change in structure, such as the "a convenient assembled cat climbing column structure" with application number CN202221051740.4, the "a free combination cat climbing frame" with application number CN202220945064.9, the "a multifunctional cat climbing frame that can be quickly disassembled and reassembled" with application number CN202210210423.0, and the "a quickly retractable cat climbing frame" with application number CN202110949270.7 are all of this type; most technical directions are developing towards multifunctionality, For example, there are applications for "Comfortable Multifunctional Cat Climbing Frame" with application number CN202210453162.5, "A Cat Climbing Frame with Deodorizing Function" with application number CN202111268610.6, "A Cat Climbing Frame Integrating Playing and Feeding Function and Assembly Method thereof" with application number CN202110497372.X, "A Fish Farming Cat Climbing Frame" with application number CN202011561740.4, "A Multifunctional Assembled Cat Climbing Frame" with application number CN201910766786.0, "A Novel Cat Climbing Frame" with application number CN201811161716.4, and "A Cat Climbing Frame" with application number CN201810265074.6.

[0046] like Figure 1-13 As shown, a linked cat-amusing climbing frame includes a bracket 1, a motor 2, a crank 3, a connecting rod 4, a middle rod 5 and a plurality of cat-amusing jumping platform assemblies. The bracket 1 includes a base and a hollow cylinder. The motor 2 is placed at the bottom of the cylinder and installed on the base. The middle rod 5 is placed at the center of the cylinder, and the bottom of the middle rod 5 is hinged to one end of the crank 3 through the connecting rod 4. The other end of the crank 3 is positioned and connected to the output shaft of the motor 2. Specifically, one end of the connecting rod 4 is hinged to the rotating shaft 5.1 at the bottom of the middle rod 5, and the other end of the connecting rod 4 is hinged to one end of the crank 3 through a large shaft 17. A plurality of cat-amusing jumping platform assemblies are arranged from bottom to top and connected to the middle rod 5; when the motor 2 is started, the middle rod 5 is driven up and down by the crank 3 and the connecting rod 4, thereby driving the plurality of cat-amusing jumping platform assemblies connected to the middle rod 5 to move synchronously. Specifically, the crank 3, connecting rod 4, middle rod 5 and H-shaped sliding plate 6 constitute a crank slider mechanism. When the motor is started, the crank slider mechanism drives the H-shaped sliding plate 6 to move up and down along the hollow cylinder cavity of the bracket 1, driving the cat-playing jumping platform assembly to perform linked operation.

[0047] Specifically, the cat-amusing jumping platform assembly includes an H-shaped sliding plate 6, an oblique support rod 7, a support sleeve 8, a pull rod 9, a pull sliding sleeve 10, a jumping platform seat 11 and a jumping platform. The outer edge of the H-shaped sliding plate 6 contacts the inner wall of the bracket 1, and the center hole of the H-shaped sliding plate 6 is sleeved on the middle rod 5. The bottom end of the oblique support rod 7 is slidably connected to the H-shaped sliding plate 6, and the top end of the oblique support rod 7 passes through the support sleeve 8 and is connected to the cat stick seat 14. The bottom of the cat stick seat 14 is detachably connected to the cat-amusing stick 15, and one end of the pull rod 9 is hinged to the support sleeve 8. The other end of the pull rod 9 is hinged on the pull sleeve 10, and the pull sleeve 10 can be slidably mounted on the middle rod 5 and is located above the H-shaped sliding plate 6. The jumping platform seat 11 is connected to the support sleeve 8 and the cat stick seat 14 through two small shafts 16, and the jumping platform is flip-hinged on the jumping platform seat 11; the top ends of the oblique support rod 7 and the support sleeve 8 extend from the side hole 1.1 of the bracket 1 to the outside of the cylinder, and the jumping platform seat 11, jumping platform, cat stick seat 14 and cat teaser 15 are located outside the cylinder.

[0048] like Figure 4 、 5 As shown, the diving platform includes two diving platform middle plates 12 and two diving platform outer plates 13. The two diving platform middle plates 12 are connected to the top hinge 11.3 of the diving platform seat 11 through a main hinge 12.2, and the two diving platform outer plates 13 are connected to the connecting hinge 13.1 of the diving platform outer plates 13 through a secondary hinge 12.1.

[0049] Specifically, the H-shaped sliding plate 6, the diagonal support rod 7, the support sleeve 8, the pull rod 9, the pull sliding sleeve 10, the diving platform seat 11, the diving platform middle plate 12, the diving platform outer plate 13, the cat stick seat 14, and the cat teasing stick 15 together constitute a cat teasing diving platform assembly, which is arranged in groups, and the number corresponds to the number of side holes 1.1 of the bracket 1. The specific number setting can be set according to actual needs. One group or multiple groups can be set within the maximum number of the bracket side holes, which is flexible and convenient to use; Figure 1 、 3 In one embodiment, there are four groups of cat-playing jumping platform components, which are evenly spaced from bottom to top, and the rotation angle between two adjacent components is 90°. In another embodiment, the rotation angle can be adjusted to a 60° difference as needed, and set to six groups.

[0050] The two diving platform middle panels 12 and the two diving platform outer panels 13 are symmetrically arranged. The diving platform outer panels 13 fold upward around the secondary hinges 12.1 to the top surface of the diving platform middle panel 12. The diving platform middle panel 12 folds upward around the main hinges 12.2 to be placed in a vertical position. This hinge connection method facilitates the folding of the diving platform, reduces storage space, and facilitates access to the interior of the cylinder through the side hole 1.1 of the bracket 1 after folding.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 3-13As shown, the H-shaped sliding plate 6 is provided with a first opening structure 6.1 on the side, a second opening structure 6.2 in the middle and clamping devices 6.3 on the upper and lower sides. The diagonal support rod 7 is composed of a bottom diagonal support rod 7.2, a middle diagonal support rod 7.1 and a top diagonal support rod 7.3. After the H-shaped sliding plate 6 is sleeved on the middle rod 5, it is fixedly connected through the clamping device 6.3. The bottom diagonal support rod 7.2 is placed in the first opening structure 6.1, the middle diagonal support rod 7.1 is placed in the second opening structure 6.2, and the top diagonal support rod 7.3 passes through the support sleeve 8 and is connected to the slot 14.1 of the cat rod seat 14.

[0052] The support sleeve 8 is provided with an inner hole 8.1, a lower rotating shaft 8.2, a pull rod seat 8.3, a top diagonal support rod cavity 8.4 and a first axial hole 8.5. The middle diagonal support rod 7.1 and the top diagonal support rod 7.3 are respectively connected to the inner hole 8.1 and the top diagonal support rod cavity 8.4. The lower rotating shaft 8.2 is connected to the axle seat 1.2 of the bracket 1. The pull rod seat 8.3 is connected to the bottom end of the pull rod 9 through a small shaft 16. The first axial hole 8.5 is connected to the seat shaft hole 11.1 of the diving platform seat 11 through a small shaft 16. The top surface of the top diagonal support rod cavity 8.4 is in contact with the bottom inclined surface of the diving platform seat 11.

[0053] An upper axial hole 9.1 and a lower axial hole 9.2 are provided at both ends of the pull rod 9. The lower axial hole 9.2 is connected to the pull rod seat 8.3 through a small shaft 16, and the upper axial hole 9.1 is connected to the second axial hole 10.1 of the pull sleeve 10 through a small shaft 16; the third axial hole 11.2 of the jumping platform seat 11 is connected to the fourth axial hole 14.2 of the cat stick seat 14 through a small shaft 16, and the pulling sleeve 10 is driven by the pull rod 9 to slide upward along the middle rod 5, thereby completing the storage of the entire cat-amusing jumping platform assembly. Specifically, the support sleeve 8, the pull rod 9 and the pull sleeve 10 form a rocker slider mechanism. By manually applying external force to overcome the magnetic force, the platform seat 11 can rotate around the small axis in the first axis hole 8.5 of the support sleeve 8 through the seat shaft hole 11.1. The diagonal support rod 7 can rotate and slide around the axis seat 1.2 of the bracket 1 through the lower rotating shaft 8.2 of the support sleeve 8. At the same time, the pull sleeve 10 is driven by the pull rod 9 to slide upward along the middle rod 5 to realize the storage action of the cat-amusing platform assembly. The reverse operation can realize the expansion operation of the cat-amusing platform assembly. After the storage is completed, the support sleeve 8 is in a vertical state and placed parallel to the cylinder. The cat-amusing platform assembly is rotated to the inside of the cylinder, and the cat-amusing stick can be removed. After the overall device is stored, it takes up little space, is more convenient to store, and is conducive to keeping it tidy.

[0054] Specifically, the upper surface of the top oblique support rod cavity 8.4 of the support sleeve 8 in contact with the springboard seat 11 is made of magnetic material or is provided with a magnetic strip, and the position where the springboard seat 11 contacts it is made of magnetic material or is provided with a magnetic block, and the two are arranged with opposite polarities. Through magnetic adsorption, the support sleeve 8 and the springboard seat 11 temporarily have structural integrity, and the springboard seat maintains stability during use.

[0055] When the cat is being played, when the motor 2 is started, the crank 3 drives the middle rod 5 to move up and down through the connecting rod 4. Because the lower rotating shaft 8.2 of the support sleeve 8 is connected to the shaft seat 1.2 of the bracket, the support sleeve 8 and the jumping platform seat 11 have a temporary structural integrity due to the magnetic adsorption between the contact surfaces of the two. The pull rod seat 8.3 of the support sleeve 8 is connected to the middle rod 5 through the pull rod 9 and the pull sleeve 10. Therefore, the H-shaped sliding plate 6 fixed on the middle rod 5 is lifted and lowered and pulls the bottom diagonal support rod 7.2 to slide in its first opening structure 6.1 and rise and fall synchronously. The action of the bottom diagonal support rod 7.2 causes the position of the top diagonal support rod 7.3 to change, thereby driving the L-shaped cat stick seat 14 to rotate around the small shaft 16 on the third axial hole 11.2 (the fourth axial hole 14.2 is coaxial with it) at the bottom of the jumping platform seat 11, thereby driving the cat teasing stick 15 connected to the cat stick seat 14 to swing back and forth. During this movement, the support sleeve 8 plays a role in positioning and guiding the diagonal support rod 7.

[0056] Specifically, the connecting end 15.1 of the cat teaser 15 is installed in the connecting hole 14.3 of the cat teaser seat 14 by means of threaded connection or plug-in connection. The cat teaser 15 is provided with a variety of structural forms, which can be a straight rod, or a rod with feathers on the end, or other styles. The top is detachable to facilitate the replacement of the cat teaser; in addition, the cat teaser 15 can also be removed when the platform is stored to reduce the storage space occupied and reduce the chance of damage to the equipment.

[0057] In addition, a controller is provided on the base or the cylinder of the bracket 1 , and the controller is electrically connected to the motor 2 , and the opening and closing of the motor can be conveniently controlled by buttons on the controller.

[0058] The use process of the present invention is as follows:

[0059] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the diving platform middle plate 12 and the two diving platform outer plates 13 are all unfolded, and the entire diving platform seat and the diving platform are located outside the cylinder of the bracket, that is, after the cat-amusing climbing frame is unfolded, it can be used as an ordinary cat climbing frame when not powered on; after power is turned on, the motor starts, and the cat-amusing sticks on the cat-amusing jumping platform assemblies at different positions start to swing left and right at the same time under the drive of the crank slider mechanism, and the cats located on different diving platforms of the equipment can play with their respective cat-amusing sticks; in addition, different cat-amusing sticks can be installed or not installed on diving platforms at different heights according to on-site needs.

[0060] like Figure 9-13As shown, when not in use, follow the steps shown in the figure, first flip and fold the diving platform outer plate 13 and the diving platform middle plate 12 along their respective hinges, then rotate the diving platform seat 11, and then rotate the diagonal support rod 7 and the support sleeve 8 into the bracket 1 into the side hole 1.1, and finally adjust the position of the diving platform seat 11, the diving platform middle plate 12 and the diving platform outer plate 13; you can also rotate to remove the cat teaser 15, and the removal operation of the cat teaser can be placed at the beginning or the end, that is, the storage work is completed.

[0061] The embodiments described above are merely descriptions of preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present invention by persons skilled in the art should fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims of the present invention.
