BACKGROUND

[0002] With the gradual improvement of people's living standards, the products of the pet market are more and more rich, and the types of toys for pets are also more and more. Common pet toys such as cat wands, cat wands are a kind of toys that are loved by cats.

[0016] Preferably, the pet toy further comprises a base, which is rotatably connected with the shell.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the pet toy provided by the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The pet toy provided by the embodiment of the present application comprises a shell and a light spot trajectory driving device.

[0019] The shell comprises an accommodating space, and the light spot trajectory driving device is accommodated in the accommodating space, and the light rays generated by the light spot trajectory driving device are transmitted to the outside through the shell.

[0021] It can be understood that the movement trajectory of the existing pet toy is fixed, and the pet is easy to lose interest in it.

[0022] 2. The driving assembly of the embodiment of the present application comprises a positioning plate, a driving output shaft arranged on the positioning plate, and a second magnetic attraction piece arranged around the driving output shaft.

[0023] It can be understood that the driving output shaft is connected with the optical element to drive the optical element to rotate, and the optical element is affected by the second magnetic attraction element around the driving output shaft to deviate to the driving output shaft during rotation, and it should be understood that a plurality of second magnetic attraction elements are arranged around the driving output shaft, so that the optical element is attracted to the driving output shaft by the second magnetic attraction element multiple times during rotation, thereby making the light spot trajectory projected to the outside more variable.

[0024] 3. The length and / or spacing of the second magnetic attraction elements arranged on the positioning plate of the embodiment of the present application are different.

[0025] It can be understood that the second magnetic attraction elements are irregularly arranged on the positioning plate and have different spacings from each other, so that the time interval of the optical element deviating to the driving output shaft in one rotation period is inconsistent, and finally the movement trajectory of the projected light spot has more changes; in addition, the lengths of the second magnetic attraction elements are not uniform, so that the attractive force and the deviable distance of the optical element when close to different second magnetic attraction elements are not equal, and then the optical element deviates to the driving output shaft by different angles when rotating to different position nodes, so that the movement trajectory of the projected light spot to the outside changes to attract the pet.

[0026] 4. The optical element of the embodiment of the present application is a light emitting element for emitting light.

[0027] It should be understood that in a specific embodiment, the optical element is a light emitting element, that is, it has the function of emitting light by itself, and as the optical element produces an unpredictable movement trajectory under the joint action of the driving assembly and the magnetic attraction assembly, the projection of the light emitted by the optical element in the outside also produces an unpredictable movement trajectory.

[0028] 5. The optical element of the embodiment of the present application is a light reflecting element for reflecting light.

[0029] It should be understood that in another specific embodiment, the optical element is a light reflecting element, which can reflect the received light to the outside to form a projected light spot. Similarly, as the optical element produces an unpredictable movement trajectory under the joint action of the driving assembly and the magnetic attraction assembly, the projection of the reflected light in the outside also produces an unpredictable movement trajectory.

[0030] 6. The light spot trajectory driving device of the embodiment of the present application further comprises a light source emitter for emitting light to the optical element. The light source emitter is a light emitting source, which can emit a light beam outward, and the light beam is reflected by the optical element to project a light spot on an object in the outside to attract the attention of the pet.

[0031] 7. The energy supply mechanism is accommodated in the accommodating space of the embodiment of the present application, and is signal connected with the driving assembly and the light source emitter. It should be understood that the energy supply mechanism supplies energy for the driving assembly and the light source emitter, and is signal connected with the light source emitter to make the light source emitter emit light beams; the energy supply mechanism is signal connected with the driving assembly to make the driving output shaft drive the rotation of the optical element.

[0032] 8. The shell of the embodiment of the present application is provided with a light outlet, and the light outlet is provided with a light transmission element.

[0033] It can be understood that the light reflected by the optical element is irradiated to the outside through the light transmission element; the light transmission element is detachably connected with the shell to close the light outlet, so that the light spot trajectory driving device is completely closed in the accommodating space of the shell, and damage caused by exposure to the outside environment is avoided.

[0053] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

Therefore, "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these specific features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0056] In various embodiments of the present invention, it should be understood that the sequence number of each process does not necessarily imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0058] Please see Figures 1-4 The first embodiment of the present invention provides a pet toy 100, including a shell 2 and a light spot trajectory driving device 1; the shell 2 includes a receiving space, the light spot trajectory driving device 1 is housed in the receiving space, and the light generated by it is projected to the outside through the shell; the light spot trajectory driving device 1 includes a magnetic suction component, a driving component 11 connected thereto, and an optical component 12, the driving component 11 drives the optical component 12 to rotate and / or move, and the speed and / or direction of the rotation and / or movement of the optical component 12 can be changed by adjusting the driving component 11; the magnetic suction component includes an interacting first magnetic suction component 121 and a second magnetic suction component 114, the first magnetic suction component 121 is disposed on the optical component 12, and the optical component 12 deflects under the action of the magnetic suction component during the rotation and / or movement.

[0059] It should be noted that the housing 2 in this embodiment is a hollow protective cover structure to house the light spot trajectory drive device 1 and other mechanisms of the pet toy 100, protecting the various functional mechanisms of the pet toy 100 from external harmful substances, extending its service life, and also serving an aesthetic purpose.

[0060] Specifically, the shell 2 can be made into various shapes or cartoon characters to increase product diversity. Depending on the needs, the shell 2 can be made of plastic or metal.

[0061] Understandably, most pets, such as cats and dogs, have an instinct to chase luminous and fast-moving objects. This has led to the development of pet toys that use the movement of light spots to entice pets to play. However, the movement trajectories of existing pet toys are fixed, and pets easily become tired and lose interest after playing for a long time. The pet toy 100 provided in this embodiment has a built-in light spot trajectory driving device 1. The driving component 11 of the light spot trajectory driving device 1 drives the optical component 12 in a rotational manner. The optical component 12 is connected to the driving component 11 and is driven by it to generate rotational motion. During the rotation, it is attracted by the magnetic component and deflected towards the driving component 11 to change the light reflection angle. At the same time, by adjusting the speed and direction of the driving component 11, the reflection angle is made more diverse and unpredictable, so that the pet can play for a long time without getting tired.

[0062] In another possible implementation, the drive component 11 can drive the optical component 12 in a motion drive manner. The optical component 12 moves along a preset trajectory under the drive component 11. During the movement, it is attracted by the magnetic component and deflects towards the drive component 11 to change the light reflection angle. At the same time, by adjusting the speed and direction of the drive component 11, the reflection angle can be made diverse and unpredictable to attract the pet's interest.

[0063] Furthermore, the optical component 12 is a reflective component used to reflect light.

[0064] Specifically, the light spot trajectory driving device 1 also includes a light source emitter 13, which emits light to the optical element 12.

[0065] In one possible implementation, the optical element 12 is specifically a reflective element that can reflect light. The end of the optical element 12 away from the driving component 11 is set as a smooth mirror surface. The light source emission port of the light source emitter 13 is set close to the mirror end of the optical element 12. When the light emitted by it shines on the mirror end of the optical element 12 through the light emission port, total internal reflection occurs. The reflected light is emitted to the outside world and forms a light spot projection on the surface of the outside object.

[0066] It should be noted that the light source generated by the light source emitter 13 in this embodiment is a laser beam 131. In other feasible embodiments, the light source generated by the light source emitter 13 can also be pulsed light, laser light or other types of light sources. In addition, the color of the light beam generated by the light source emitter 13 can be red, blue, green or other colors. It can be monochromatic or multicolor. The specific settings can be made according to actual needs, as long as it can project a clearly distinguishable light spot on the surface of an external object. No further restrictions are imposed here.

[0067] Optionally, the light source emitter 13 can generate one or more light sources.

[0068] Specifically, the laser beam generated by the light source emitter 13 is reflected to the outside world through the mirror end of the optical component 12 to form a light spot projection. The optical component 12 is driven by the driving component 11 to rotate at a uniform speed and / or a variable speed. During the rotation, the optical component 12 is affected by the magnetic attraction component and shifts towards the driving component 11, causing the angle of its reflected laser beam 131 to change unpredictably.

[0069] It should be understood that the light outlet of the light source emitter 13 is positioned opposite to the central region of the optical component 12, and the laser beam 131 irradiates the central region of the optical component 12, so as to prevent the light from failing to irradiate the optical component 12 after it is shifted by the magnetic attraction component.

[0070] In another possible implementation, the light outlet of the light source emitter 13 is positioned opposite to the edge region of the optical component 12. When the optical component 12 is deflected to a specific angle, it will not receive the laser beam 131 generated by the light source emitter 13. That is, its projected light spot in the outside world will disappear at a specific time and then reappear in other positions, further enriching the variability of the light spot's movement trajectory.

[0071] Please see Figure 5 In another possible implementation, the optical element 12 is a light-emitting element used to emit light.

[0072] Understandably, in some other specific implementations, the optical element 12 is a light-emitting element, which is provided with a bulb for emitting light. As the optical element 12 generates an unpredictable motion trajectory under the combined action of the driving component 11 and the magnetic attraction component, the projection of the light emitted by it onto the outside world also generates an unpredictable motion trajectory.

[0073] Specifically, when the optical component 12 is a light-emitting component, the type, color, and quantity of light sources it can produce are the same as those of the light source emitter 13 mentioned above, and it has the same beneficial effects as the light source emitter 13, which will not be elaborated here.

[0074] Furthermore, please refer to the following: Figure 6The drive assembly 11 includes a positioning plate 113, a drive output shaft 111 disposed on the positioning plate 113, and a second magnetic suction member 114 disposed around the drive output shaft 111. The optical component 12 is provided with a first magnetic suction member 121 at one end near the drive output shaft 111.

[0075] It should be noted that the drive assembly 11 is fixedly installed in the housing 2 inside the housing to prevent the drive assembly 11 from colliding with other structures in the housing when the pet toy 100 is working or being moved, thus avoiding damage.

[0076] Specifically, the positioning plate 113 is positioned opposite to the optical component 12, and a drive output shaft 111 and a second magnetic absorbing component 114 are provided on it. The second magnetic absorbing component 114 is arranged circumferentially around the drive output shaft 111. The drive output shaft 111 is connected to the optical component 12 through the connector 112 to drive the optical component 12 to rotate. The optical component 12 is provided with a first magnetic absorbing component 121. When the first magnetic absorbing component 121 and the second magnetic absorbing component 114 are close to each other, they attract or repel each other under the interaction of the magnetic fields they generate, causing the optical component 12 to shift relative to the drive output shaft 111.

[0077] Please refer to the following: Figure 7 In this embodiment, the drive output shaft 111 and the optical component 12 are fixedly connected. The connecting component 112 is specifically an elastic shaft. The power generated by the drive output shaft 111 is transmitted to the optical component 12 through the connecting component 112, thereby driving the optical component 12 to rotate. During the rotation of the optical component 12, the first magnetic suction component 121 provided on it approaches the second magnetic suction component 114 on the positioning plate 113. Under the action of the magnetic field, the second magnetic suction component 114 generates an attraction force on the first magnetic suction component 121. The elastic shaft bends along the direction of the attraction force to make the optical component 12 shift towards the drive output shaft 111. As the optical component 12 continues to rotate, the first magnetic suction component 121 gradually moves away from the second magnetic suction component 114. The attraction force under the action of the magnetic field also gradually weakens. The bent part of the elastic shaft is reset by its own elastic force, causing the optical component 12 to shift back to its original position away from the drive output shaft 111.

[0078] Specifically, depending on the actual situation, the connector 112 can also be a spring or other elastic connector. It should be understood that, compared to rigid connectors, the elastic properties of elastic connectors allow the optical component 12 to shift towards the drive output shaft 111 when subjected to a certain adsorption force, and to move away from the drive output shaft 111 when the adsorption force weakens, returning to its initial position. This makes the angle at which the optical component 12 reflects the laser beam 131 more diverse.

[0079] Please refer to the following: Figure 8In another possible implementation, the drive output shaft 111 and the optical component 12 can be movably connected. Specifically, it can be a rolling connection, a rotating connection, or other movable connection methods. The specific connection method can be set according to the actual product requirements. As long as the optical component 12 can receive the power of the drive output shaft 111 to rotate after the connection and can also shift towards the drive output shaft 111 during the rotation, no further restrictions are imposed here.

[0080] Furthermore, please refer to the following: Figures 9-11 The length and / or spacing of the second magnetic attraction member 114 provided on the positioning plate 113 are different.

[0081] Specifically, in order to increase the frequency of the optical component 12 offset toward the drive output shaft 111, the positioning plate 113 is provided with a plurality of second magnetic components 114, and the spacing between them is different, so that the optical component 12 offsets at a higher frequency and produces more diverse reflection angles.

[0082] It should be noted that the second magnetic component 114 and the first magnetic component 121 generate magnetic fields. When they are close to each other, the magnetic fields they generate interact to produce mutual attraction or repulsion. It should be understood that the magnitude of the attraction or repulsion is affected by the shape, size, magnetic strength, and spacing between the magnetic components. For example, the greater the magnetic strength of the magnetic components, the greater the attraction or repulsion; the smaller the spacing between them, the greater the attraction or repulsion.

[0083] Understandably, depending on the actual needs, the shape and / or magnetic strength and / or size and / or number of the second magnetic accumulator 114 provided on the positioning plate 113 are different, so that the optical element 12 will generate different reflection angles when it approaches different second magnetic accumulators 114 during rotation.

[0084] Furthermore, the length of the second magnetic 114, that is, the length of the second magnetic 114 extending towards the optical element 12, is also different. The distance between the second magnetic 114 and the first magnetic 121 is different for different lengths, so the magnitude of the attraction or repulsion force generated by the two is different. In addition, the length of the second magnetic 114 also limits the degree of offset of the optical element 12 to a certain extent. It should be understood that the longer the second magnetic 114 is, the smaller the space between it and the optical element 12 that allows the optical element 12 to offset.

[0085] Through the above design, the optical component 12 can be deflected at different angles by the magnetic attraction component when it is rotated to different positions, so as to produce different reflection angles.

[0086] Specifically, the second magnetic attractor 114 and the first magnetic attractor 121 can both be magnets, or one can be a magnet and the other can be a metal part such as iron, copper, or chromium that can be attracted by a magnet.

[0087] Furthermore, the space contains a power supply mechanism 14, which is signal-connected to the drive assembly 11 and the light source emitter 13.

[0088] Understandably, the power supply mechanism 14 is signal-connected to the drive assembly 11 to provide energy to it so that the drive assembly 11 generates driving force to drive the optical component 12 to rotate; the power supply mechanism 14 is signal-connected to the light source emitter 13 so that the light source emitter 13 has energy to emit light.

[0089] In one possible implementation, the power supply mechanism 14 includes a storage battery 141, which is connected to the drive assembly 11 and the light source emitter 13 respectively. The drive assembly 11 or the light source emitter 13 converts the received electrical energy into mechanical energy or light energy, so that the drive assembly 11 generates a driving force to drive the optical component 12 to rotate or the light source emitter 13 generates a light source.

[0090] In another possible implementation, the power supply mechanism 14 includes an electrically connected storage battery 141 and a circuit board 142. The circuit board 142 is connected to the drive assembly 11 and the light source emitter 13, respectively, to transfer electrical energy from the storage battery 141 to the drive assembly 11 and the light source emitter 13. At the same time, the circuit board 142 controls the driving intensity of the drive assembly 11 and the intensity of the light source generated by the light source emitter 13.

[0091] In other possible implementations, the power supply mechanism 14 may also include a mechanical power unit connected to the drive assembly, which may be a hydraulic power unit or a pneumatic power unit, to provide driving force to the drive assembly 11 to rotate the optical element 12.

[0092] Furthermore, the power supply mechanism 14 includes a charging port 143, which is connected to the outside through the housing 2.

[0093] The power supply mechanism 14 in this embodiment also includes a charging port 143, which is specifically disposed on the circuit board 142. The housing 2 has an opening at the position corresponding to the charging port 143, and the charging port 143 is exposed through the opening. External charging devices can charge the power supply mechanism 14 through the charging port 143.

[0094] Furthermore, please refer to the following: Figure 12 The housing 2 has a light outlet 221, and a light-transmitting element 222 is provided on the light outlet 221.

[0095] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the housing 2 includes a first housing 21 and a second housing 22. The first housing 21 and the second housing 22 can be closed to form a closed receiving space to accommodate the light spot trajectory driving device 1. Specifically, the light spot trajectory driving device 1 is fixedly mounted on the first housing 21 to prevent it from colliding with the housing 2, and the second housing 22 is closed to the first housing 21 to protect the light spot trajectory driving device 1 and prevent it from being exposed to the outside world.

[0096] The second housing 22 has a light outlet 221 at the corresponding position of the optical component 12. The light reflected by the optical component 12 shines into the outside world through the light outlet 221 to form a light spot projection.

[0097] Specifically, the light outlet 221 is provided with a light-transmitting element 222 that is detachably connected to the second housing 22, which is used to close and cover the light outlet 221 so that the light spot trajectory driving device 1 is completely enclosed in the housing space of the housing 2, preventing it from being exposed to the external environment and causing damage.

[0098] Understandably, the light-transmitting component 222 is detachably installed on the light-emitting port 221. When the light emission of the pet toy 100 is affected by the damage to the light-transmitting component 222, the light-transmitting component 222 can be replaced separately for repair, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of maintenance.

[0099] In another possible implementation, the second housing 22 does not have a light outlet, but is made of a light-transmitting material as a whole or at a position corresponding to the optical element 12, so that the light reflected by the optical element 12 can pass through the second housing 22 and be projected to the outside to form a light spot trajectory.

[0100] It should be noted that the light-transmitting component 222 can be transparent or semi-transparent; its color can be a single color or a multi-colored color such as black, gray, yellow, or blue, and can be set according to the actual situation, as long as light can pass through.

[0101] Furthermore, please refer to the following: Figure 13 The pet toy 100 also includes a base 3, which is rotatably connected to the housing 2.

[0102] Understandably, the lower surface of the base 3 is flat so that the pet toy 100 can be placed stably on a table or the ground; the base 3 is rotatably connected to the housing 2, so that the projection position of the light spot of the light spot trajectory drive device 1 can be changed by rotating the housing 2 without moving the pet toy 100.

[0103] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the base 3 includes a boss 31 and a U-shaped frame 32 that are rotatably connected. The lower surface of the boss 31 is flat so that the pet toy 100 can be placed stably on a table or the ground to generate a stable light spot trajectory; the upper surface of the boss 31 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the U-shaped frame 32, that is, its closed end, to adjust the light emission direction of the pet toy 100; the housing 2 is partially embedded in the U-shaped frame 32 and is rotatably connected to the side of the U-shaped frame 32 to adjust the pitch angle of the light emitted by the pet toy 100.

[0104] Through the above design, the pet toy 100 provided in this embodiment can project a light spot to any position in space by rotating the U-shaped frame 32 and / or the shell 2 without moving its position.

[0105] Compared with the prior art, the pet toy provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0106] 1. A pet toy provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a shell and a light spot trajectory driving device;

[0107] The housing includes a receiving space, in which a light spot trajectory driving device is housed, and the light it generates is projected to the outside through the housing.

[0108] The light spot trajectory driving device includes a magnetic suction component, a connected driving component, and an optical component. The driving component drives the optical component to rotate and / or move. The magnetic suction component includes an interacting first magnetic suction component and a second magnetic suction component. The first magnetic suction component is disposed on the optical component. During the rotation and / or movement of the optical component, it deviates under the action of the magnetic suction component.

[0109] Understandably, existing pet toys have fixed movement trajectories, making it easy for pets to lose interest. The pet toy provided in this embodiment uses optical components to emit or receive light and project it onto the outside world to form light spots to attract pets. These optical components rotate and / or move under the drive of a driving assembly. Adjusting the power of the driving assembly can change the speed of their rotation and / or movement. During this process, they are also affected by a magnetic component, causing them to deflect. This design makes the movement trajectory of the light spots formed by the optical components unpredictable, allowing pets to play with them for extended periods without becoming bored.

[0110] 2. The driving component of this embodiment includes a positioning plate, a driving output shaft disposed on the positioning plate, and a second magnetic suction member disposed around the driving output shaft.

[0111] Understandably, the drive output shaft is connected to the optical component to drive the optical component to rotate. During the rotation, the optical component is deflected towards the drive output shaft by the influence of the second magnetic attraction component around the drive output shaft. It should be understood that multiple second magnetic attraction components are arranged around the drive output shaft. Therefore, the optical component will be attracted by the second magnetic attraction components and deflected towards the drive output shaft multiple times during the rotation, which makes the trajectory of the light spot projected on the outside more varied.

[0112] 3. The length and / or spacing of the second magnetic element provided on the positioning plate in the embodiments of the present invention are different.

[0113] Understandably, the irregular arrangement of the second magnetic components on the positioning plate and their varying spacing cause the time intervals at which the optical component deflects toward the drive output shaft during one rotation cycle to be inconsistent, ultimately resulting in more variations in the trajectory of its projected light spot. Furthermore, the uneven length of the second magnetic components means that the attractive force and the distance that the optical component can deflect are not equal when it approaches different second magnetic components. Consequently, when the optical component rotates to different position nodes, it deflects toward the drive output shaft at different angles, causing changes in the trajectory of the external projected light spot to attract the pet.

[0114] 4. The optical component in this embodiment of the invention is a light-emitting component used to emit light.

[0115] It should be understood that in the specific implementation plan, the optical component is a light-emitting component, that is, it has the function of emitting light. As the optical component generates an unpredictable motion trajectory under the combined action of the driving component and the magnetic component, the projection of the light emitted by it onto the outside world also generates an unpredictable motion trajectory.

[0116] 6. The optical component in this embodiment of the invention is a reflective component used to reflect light.

[0117] It should be understood that in another specific implementation, the optical component is a reflective component, which can reflect the received light to the outside to form a projected light spot. Similarly, as the optical component generates an unpredictable motion trajectory under the combined action of the driving component and the magnetic attraction component, the projection of the reflected light onto the outside also generates an unpredictable motion trajectory.

[0118] 6. The light spot trajectory driving device of this embodiment further includes a light source emitter, which emits light rays toward the optical component. The light source emitter is a light source that can emit light beams outward, and the light beams are reflected by the optical component and projected onto external objects to attract the pet's attention.

[0119] 7. In this embodiment of the invention, a power supply mechanism is housed within the accommodating space. The power supply mechanism is signal-connected to the drive assembly and the light source emitter. It should be understood that the power supply mechanism provides energy to the drive assembly and the light source emitter, and is signal-connected to the light source emitter to cause the light source emitter to emit a light beam; the power supply mechanism is signal-connected to the drive assembly to cause the drive output shaft to drive the optical component to rotate.

[0120] 8. The housing of this embodiment of the invention has a light outlet, and the light outlet is provided with a light-transmitting element.

[0121] Understandably, the light reflected by the optical components shines into the outside world through the light-transmitting components; the light-transmitting components are detachably connected to the housing to seal the light outlet, so that the light spot trajectory driving device is completely enclosed in the housing's containment space, preventing it from being exposed to the external environment and causing damage.

[0122] 9. The pet toy in this embodiment of the invention also includes a base, which is rotatably connected to the housing. It should be understood that the lower surface of the base is a plane so that the pet toy can be placed stably on a table or the ground; the rotatable connection between the base and the housing allows the projection position of the light spot of the light spot trajectory driving device to be changed by rotating the housing without moving the pet toy.

[0123] The above provides a detailed description of a pet toy disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of the present invention. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
