Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pet products, and in particular to a pet toy. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, families no longer keep pets as dogs for guarding the house or cats for catching mice as in the past, but as a companion to accompany people. Therefore, in the eyes of many people, pets are also members of the family, and the attention paid to pets will increase accordingly.

[0003] At present, there is a shortage of toys for pets in the market, and even many children's toys are directly sold as pet toys. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pet toy to achieve the purpose of pet playing. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a pet toy that can achieve the purpose of pet playing.

[0005] An embodiment of the present application provides a pet toy, characterized in that it includes: a toy piece; a toy shell, which is provided with a plurality of openings, and the plurality of openings are distributed at different positions along a preset direction; a driving structure, including a first driving component, a second driving component and a connecting member, wherein the connecting member is connected to the toy piece, and one end of the connecting member is connected to the first driving component, and the other end of the connecting member is connected to the second driving component, so that when the first driving component and / or the second driving component is driven, the toy piece passes through adjacent and / or alternating openings in sequence.

[0006] In the above-mentioned implementation process, the toy piece is connected to the connecting piece, and the first drive assembly and the second drive assembly are respectively connected to the connecting piece. The first drive assembly and the second drive assembly do not have a high degree of tension on the connecting piece. Even if the connecting piece is in a loose state, it can be adjusted very quickly, and the pet is allowed to pull or bite the toy piece during the game without losing function and can return to normal as soon as possible, so that when the first drive assembly and / or the second drive assembly is driven, the toy piece can be driven to shuttle through several openings through the connecting piece, thereby obtaining an excellent pet-amusing effect.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first drive assembly includes a first drive component and a first wheel component, the first drive component is connected to the first wheel component, the first wheel component is configured to wind or release the connecting member, wherein the first wheel component is driven by the driving end of the first drive component or the first wheel component rotates relative to the driving end of the first drive component.

[0008] In the above implementation process, the first driving component is connected to the first rotating wheel component. The first rotating wheel component can be directly driven by the first driving component to move the toy part. Or when the toy part is subjected to an external force, the first rotating wheel component rotates relative to the first driving component under the pulling of the connecting piece, which can attract pets to play and exercise, while avoiding cutting the pets. And after the pet puts down the toy, the pet toy can gradually return to the normal operation process without losing the performance of the toy.

[0009] In some embodiments, the second driving assembly includes a second driving component and a second rotating wheel component. The second driving component is connected to the second rotating wheel component. The second rotating wheel component is configured to wind or release the connecting piece, where the second rotating wheel component is driven by the driving end of the second driving component or the second rotating wheel component rotates relative to the driving end of the second driving component.

[0010] In the above implementation process, the second driving component is connected to the second rotating wheel component. The second rotating wheel component can be directly driven by the second driving component to move the toy part. Or when the toy part is subjected to an external force, the second rotating wheel component rotates relative to the second driving component under the pulling of the connecting piece, which can attract pets to play and exercise, while avoiding cutting the pets. And after the pet puts down the toy, the pet toy can gradually return to the normal operation process without losing the performance of the toy.

[0011] In some embodiments, both the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly include a charging state and a releasing state. When the first driving assembly is in the charging state and the second driving assembly is in the releasing state, after the first driving assembly finishes charging the connecting piece, the first driving assembly reverses for a preset time, the first driving assembly switches to the releasing state, and the second driving assembly switches to the charging state; when the first driving assembly is in the releasing state and the second driving assembly is in the charging state, after the second driving assembly finishes charging the connecting piece, the second driving assembly reverses for a preset time, the first driving assembly switches to the charging state, and the second driving assembly switches to the releasing state.

[0012] In the above implementation process, both the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly can be in the charging state and the releasing state. Thus, when the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly work, the toy part can move between the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly, which can effectively avoid the phenomenon that the connecting piece is pulled and wound, ensure the durability of the pet toy, prevent the pet from being cut, and improve the safety.

[0013] In some embodiments, before and / or after the first driving component and / or the second driving component finish collecting the connecting member, at least one of the first driving component and the second driving component is controlled to rotate in the loose direction of the connecting member for a preset short time, and then enter the next cycle of collecting and loosening the connecting member. This can achieve the effect of saving power while effectively solving the jamming phenomenon.

[0014] In some embodiments, one of the first driving component and the second driving component is actively driven, and the other is passively driven.

[0015] In the above implementation process, when one driving ends, the rope is concentratedly wound around one of the rotating wheels, and the other rotating wheel is almost empty. This makes it so that when driving is switched the next time, there is almost no wound rope on the other rotating wheel, thus avoiding the situation where there is friction on both rotating wheels. By only arranging winding on one side of the rotating wheel, friction can be effectively reduced, making it easier to drive and less likely to jam and cause driving failure, improving the durability and playability of the product.

[0016] In some embodiments, the length of the connecting member is 1.5 to 3 times the length of the toy housing. This can avoid a sharp increase in friction after the connecting member is wound and the occurrence of jamming, thereby preventing the torque of the first driving component or the second driving component from reversing from being insufficient to overcome the friction between the connecting members, resulting in driving failure and the inability of the toy part to move, etc., improving the durability and playability of the product.

[0017] In some embodiments, the toy housing includes a first housing part, a second housing part, and a third housing part. The first housing part is configured to accommodate the first driving component. There are a plurality of the second housing parts, and the plurality of second housing parts are located between the first housing part and the third housing part. Each second housing part is provided with the opening. The third housing part is configured to accommodate the second driving component.

[0018] In the above implementation process, the first driving component and the second driving component are respectively arranged inside the toy housing, which can not only ensure the aesthetics of the product, but also protect the first driving component and the second driving component, improving the service life of the components. There are a plurality of second housing parts, and each second housing part is provided with an opening. The connecting member can pass through the openings according to a preset distribution method. Thus, under the operation of the first driving component or the second driving component, the toy part can move along a preset route to form a hide-and-seek game, attracting the pet and enhancing the pet's interest in the game.

[0019] In some embodiments, the toy housing further includes a first support member and a second support member. The first support member is connected to the first housing component, and the second support member is connected to the third housing component.

[0020] In the above implementation process, a first support member is provided on the first housing component, and a second support member is provided on the third housing component. Thus, under the action of the first support member and the second support member, a supporting effect is achieved, facilitating the user to more conveniently fix the pet toy.

[0021] In some embodiments, the drive structure further includes a switch member, a control board, and a battery. The switch member is connected to the control board, the control board is connected to the first drive assembly and the second drive assembly, and the battery is connected to the first drive assembly and the second drive assembly.

[0022] In the above implementation process, the switch member is connected to the control board, and the operation of the first drive assembly and / or the second drive assembly can be controlled through the switch member. Moreover, the tightness of the connecting member by the first drive assembly and the second drive assembly is not high. Even when the connecting member is in a loose state, it can be adjusted extremely quickly, and the pet is allowed to pull or bite the toy member during the game without losing its function and can quickly return to normal without the user disassembling the product for repair and reassembly, and the assembly of the product itself also becomes extremely easy; at the same time, the battery can provide electrical energy for the first drive assembly and the second drive assembly, realizing the function of allowing the pet to play through the pet toy and reducing the user's accompanying time.

[0023] In some embodiments, the drive structure further includes a sensor for sensing the toy member and / or the pet, improving the intelligence of the product, reducing the user's accompanying time, and saving electrical energy.

[0024] In some embodiments, when the sensor does not sense a pet playing nearby for a period of time, it feeds back and controls the motor drive to turn off until the pet is sensed to approach again, at which point it feeds back and controls the motor drive to turn on.

[0025] Other features and advantages of the present application will be described in the subsequent specification, or some features and advantages can be inferred from the specification without doubt, or can be learned by implementing the above technologies of the present application.

[0035] Nowadays, there are more and more pet toys on the market. However, some pet toy designs are either too simple to really arouse the interest of pets, or too complex, which are not only costly but also deviate from the nature of pets and the aesthetics of users.

[0036] During the design process, the inventor found that one of the key considerations for pet toys is to protect the safety of pets during play and exercise. If the safety of pets cannot be guaranteed, it will bring disastrous consequences. Secondly, after ensuring the basic safety strategy, it is also very important to ensure the durability of pet toys. Especially when pet owners cannot accompany their pets all the time, the design of pet toys with durable operation becomes very necessary.

[0037] In view of this, as Figures 1 - 5As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present application provides a pet toy, which is characterized by including: a toy part 10; a toy housing 20, which is configured with a plurality of openings 201, and the plurality of openings 201 are distributed at different positions along a preset direction; a driving structure 30, including a first driving component, a second driving component and a connecting member 305, the connecting member 305 is connected to the toy part 10, and one end of the connecting member 305 is connected to the first driving component, and the other end thereof is connected to the second driving component, so that when the first driving component and / or the second driving component is driven, the toy part 10 sequentially passes through adjacent and / or alternating openings 201.

[0038] Exemplarily, the toy part 10 includes but is not limited to a flexible part, such as rubber, plastic, etc., and the types of the toy part 10 include small long-tailed amusing objects, bird models, etc., as long as it is ensured that the toy part 10 can shuttle between a plurality of openings 201.

[0039] For the toy housing 20, its shape is not specifically limited, and it can be set as a caterpillar shape, a mouse shape, etc. according to the actual situation. Taking the caterpillar shape as an example, an antenna 207 can be added to one end of the toy housing 20. The toy housing 20 can include an upper housing 202 and a lower housing 203. The upper housing 202 and the lower housing 203 are symmetrical structures, and the upper housing 202 and the lower housing 203 are connected to enclose a receiving cavity, and the receiving cavity is communicated with the opening 201, so that when the first driving component and / or the second driving component works, the toy part 10 can enter the receiving cavity from the outside of the toy housing 20 through the opening 201, or move from the receiving cavity to the outside of the toy housing 20.

[0040] Among them, the connecting member 305 of the driving structure 30 includes but is not limited to a rope. After the first driving component and the second driving component are respectively connected to opposite sides of the connecting member 305, the first driving component and the second driving component rotate synchronously or one of the first driving component and the second driving component rotates actively and the other rotates passively, so that the toy part 10 shuttles back and forth at both ends of the toy housing 20.

[0041] In the above implementation process, the toy part 10 is connected to the connecting member 305, the first driving component and the second driving component are respectively connected to the connecting member 305, and the first driving component and the second driving component have low requirements for the tightness of the connecting member 305. Even when the connecting member 305 is in a loose state, it can be adjusted extremely quickly, and it is allowed for a pet to pull or bite the toy part 10 during the game without losing its function and can resume normal work as soon as possible, so that when the first driving component and / or the second driving component is driven, the toy part 10 can be driven by the connecting member 305 to shuttle through a plurality of openings 201, thereby obtaining an excellent driving effect for amusing pets.

[0042] Such as Figures 2 - 3As shown, the first driving assembly includes a first driving member 301 and a first runner member 302. The first driving member 301 is connected to the first runner member 302. The first runner member 302 is configured to wind or release a connecting member 305, where the first runner member 302 is driven by the driving end of the first driving member 301 or the first runner member 302 rotates relative to the driving end of the first driving member 301.

[0043] Exemplarily, the first driving member 301 includes a first driving part and a first transmission part. The first transmission part is connected to the rotating shaft of the first driving part. The first driving part includes, but is not limited to, a reduction motor. The first transmission part includes, but is not limited to, a meshing gear. The first runner member 302 includes a first turntable and a first runner shaft. The first turntable is connected to the first runner shaft, and the first turntable has a wire storage part for winding the connecting member 305. The diameter of the disk body (including, but not limited to, circular) of the first turntable is larger than the diameter of the wire storage part. At the same time, the edge of the disk body inclines and protrudes outwards. Such a design can ensure the persistent and normal operation of the pet toy, preventing the situation where the stored wire may fall off during the rapid rotation or reverse rotation of the winding during operation. After the wire drops off, it is extremely easy to cause the winding to be chaotic, resulting in the stop of work or the burnout of the first driving part. The first runner shaft is connected to the first transmission part, allowing the first runner member 302 to rotate independently without being affected by the driving of the first driving part, that is, allowing the first driving part to be blocked (that is, whether the first driving part rotates or not, the rotation of the first runner member 302 is allowed). Thus, even if the first driving part is in the process of positive driving at a certain moment, without the action of an external force, the first driving part should drive the first runner member 302 to rotate forward together to complete the winding or releasing of the wire. However, if an external force acts at this time (for example, a pet grabs or bites the toy part 10 or the connecting member 305 with its claws and tears forcefully), then the normal operation process of the entire toy system will be lost. In such a situation, conventional toys are usually either extremely easy to damage or extremely easy to cause injury to the pet. Because the driving force of the motor is usually large, when pulling a relatively thin rope forcefully, it is often easy to cause scratches on the pet's claws or mouth. By allowing the first driving part to be blocked and gradually returning to the normal operation process after the pet puts down the toy, it does not harm the pet and does not lose the toy performance.

[0044] In the above implementation process, the first driving component 301 is connected to the first rotating wheel component 302. The first rotating wheel component 302 can be directly driven by the first driving component 301 to move the toy part 10. Or when an external force acts on the toy part 10, the first rotating wheel component 302 rotates relative to the first driving component 301 under the pulling of the connecting piece 305 that is under the action of the external force. This can attract pets to play and exercise, while avoiding cutting the pets. And after the pet puts down the toy, the pet toy can gradually resume the normal operation process without losing the performance of the toy.

[0045] Please refer again to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the second driving assembly includes a second driving component 303 and a second rotating wheel component 304. The second driving component 303 is connected to the second rotating wheel component 304. The second rotating wheel component 304 is configured to wind or release the connecting piece 305, where the second rotating wheel component 304 is driven by the driving end of the second driving component 303 or the second rotating wheel component 304 rotates relative to the driving end of the second driving component 303.

[0046] Exemplarily, the structure of the second driving component 303 can be set to be the same as that of the first driving component 301, and the structure of the second rotating component 304 can be set to be the same as that of the first rotating component 302. The second driving component 303 includes a second driving member and a second transmission member. The second transmission member is connected to the rotating shaft of the second driving member. The second driving member includes, but is not limited to, a reduction motor. The second transmission member includes, but is not limited to, meshing gears. The second rotating component includes a second turntable and a second rotating shaft. The second turntable is connected to the second rotating shaft, and the second turntable has a wire storage portion for winding the connecting member 305. The diameter of the disk body (including, but not limited to, circular) of the second turntable is larger than the diameter of the wire storage portion. At the same time, the edge of the disk body inclines and protrudes outward. Such a design can ensure the persistent normal operation of the pet toy and prevent the situation of wire storage dropping during the rapid rotation or reverse rotation of the wire winding during operation, because once the wire drops, it is extremely easy to cause the wire winding to be chaotic, resulting in the stop of work or the burnout of the second driving member. The second rotating shaft is connected to the second transmission member, and it can allow the second rotating component to rotate independently without being affected by the driving of the second driving member, that is, it allows the second driving member to be blocked (that is, whether the second driving member rotates or not, it allows the rotation of the first rotating component 302). Thus, even if the second driving member is in the process of positive driving at a certain moment, without the action of external force, the second driving member should drive the second rotating component to rotate forward together to complete the wire winding or wire release work. However, if an external force acts at this time (for example, the pet grabs or bites the toy part 10 or the connecting member 305 with its claws and tears it forcefully), then the normal operation process of the entire toy system will be lost. In this case, conventional toys are usually either extremely easy to damage or extremely easy to cause injury to the pet, because the driving force of the motor is usually large, and when pulling a relatively thin rope forcefully, it is often easy to cause scratches on the pet's claws or mouth. By allowing the second driving member to be blocked and gradually returning to the normal operation process after the pet puts down the small toy, it does not harm the pet and does not lose the toy performance.

[0047] In the above implementation process, the second driving component 303 is connected to the second rotating component. The second rotating component can be directly driven by the second driving component 303 to move the toy part 10, or when an external force acts on the toy part 10, the second rotating component rotates relative to the second driving component 303 under the pulling of the connecting member 305 under the action of the external force, which can attract the pet to play and exercise, avoid cutting the pet, and after the pet puts down the toy, the pet toy can gradually return to the normal operation process without losing the toy performance.

[0048] In some embodiments, both the first driving component and the second driving component include a charging state and a releasing state. When the first driving component is in the charging state and the second driving component is in the releasing state, after the first driving component completely charges the connecting member 305, the first driving component reverses for a preset time, the first driving component switches to the releasing state, and the second driving component switches to the charging state; when the first driving component is in the releasing state and the second driving component is in the charging state, after the second driving component completely charges the connecting member 305, the second driving component reverses for a preset time, the first driving component switches to the charging state, and the second driving component switches to the releasing state.

[0049] Exemplarily, when the first driving component is in the charging state and the second driving component is in the releasing state, the first driving component can act as the active drive, while the second driving component can act as the passive drive (i.e., the releasing action of the second driving component is driven by the first driving component through the connecting member 305); similarly, when the first driving component is in the releasing state and the second driving component is in the charging state, the first driving component can act as the passive drive and the second driving component can act as the active drive.

[0050] It should be noted that the pet toy is provided with a double reduction motor of the first driving component and the second driving component, which can more flexibly achieve the movement effect of the toy member 10. For example, by setting different rotation speeds and times of the first driving component and the second driving component, the movement distance of the toy member 10 can be adjusted in various ways, and the game effect of the toy member 10 briefly appearing at different openings 201 can be achieved. Moreover, the double reduction motor has low requirements for the tightness of the rope. Even for a loose rope, it can be adjusted extremely quickly, and it allows the pet to pull or bite the toy member 10 during the game without losing its function and can quickly return to normal.

[0051] In the above implementation process, both the first driving component and the second driving component can be in the charging state and the releasing state. Thus, when the first driving component and the second driving component work, the toy member 10 can move between the first driving component and the second driving component, effectively avoiding the phenomenon that the connecting member 305 is pulled and entangled, ensuring the durability of the pet toy, preventing the pet from being cut, and enhancing the safety.

[0052] In some embodiments, one of the first driving component and the second driving component is the active drive and the other is the passive drive.

[0053] Exemplarily, after the user turns on the power switch, the default connection member 305 is already wound around the reduction motor, and the first drive component starts driving in the collecting direction. At this time, the second drive component is passively rotated (when the first drive component is actively driven, the second drive component is passively rotated), and the driving time of the first drive component is the first working time, for example, about 1.5 seconds. Thereafter, the connection member 305 can be completely or partially wound around the first drive component, and the toy piece 10 passes through the opening 201 under the drive of the first drive component; thereafter, the second drive component starts to rotate in the reverse direction for the first working time, at which time the first drive component turns to passive rotation, and the connection member 305 gradually increases the amount of winding on the second drive component under the active drive of the second drive component, and the toy piece 10 starts the reverse crossing process; as long as the sensor 307 of the drive structure 30 detects that a pet is playing and training, the process will be repeated, and the toy piece 10 will reciprocate through the opening 201; after each winding, a certain time pause can be set, for example, 2 seconds, etc. The pause time can be fixed or variable, and the variable time can achieve more diverse and flexible toy cat teasing effects.

[0054] Of course, in other embodiments, there may be different methods from the above, and the difference lies only in the driving method. For example, the first driving component and the second driving component are driven simultaneously, which can effectively reduce the rope clamping phenomenon caused by passive rotation at the cost of consuming more electrical energy.

[0055] In the above implementation process, when one drive is completed, the rope is concentratedly wound around one of the wheels, while the other wheel is almost empty. This means that when the drive is switched next time, there is almost no rope wound around the other wheel, thereby avoiding friction on both wheels. Only one wheel is wound, which effectively reduces friction, makes it easier to drive, and is not prone to jamming and causing drive failure, thereby improving the durability and playability of the product.

[0056] In some embodiments, when the connecting member 305 is completely received by the first driving assembly or the second driving assembly and the connecting member 305 is in a taut state, there may be a situation where the reverse rotation drive fails (for example, when the battery power is low, the driving force of the motor is small and cannot overcome the friction force after the connecting member is wound). At this time, the driving motor can be controlled to perform a short reverse drive after or before each receiving action to obtain a jitter effect. At least one of the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly rotates in the loose direction of the connecting member 305 for a preset short time and then performs a reverse receiving drive. The function of the preset short time (for example, 100 milliseconds) is to make the connecting member in a taut state become loose due to the short reverse rotation (jitter), which can effectively reduce the friction force of the connecting member winding in the taut state, easily enable the next reverse drive operation, and it is not easy to have a reverse drive failure. This can ensure that the drive is completed even when the power is reduced, effectively extend the working duration, and at the same time effectively solve the jamming phenomenon.

[0057] It can be understood that the difference between this method and the above two methods is that this method adds an active loosening / jitter action. Specifically, after the user turns on the power, assuming that the connecting member 305 is already wound around the reduction motor by default, the first driving assembly and the second driving assembly rotate in the loose direction of the winding of the connecting member 305 for a first short time (for example, about 100 milliseconds) and then pause the drive. At this time, the toy part 10 hardly moves. The purpose of this step is to make the connecting member 305 in a relatively loose state after the end of the previous rotation and winding, preventing subsequent drive failures due to the over-tight winding of the connecting member 305; then, the first driving assembly stops driving, and the second driving assembly starts to rotate in the same direction (loose direction) to drive the toy part 10 to pass through the opening 201. After the second driving assembly drives for a first long time (for example, about 1.5 seconds) and stops, then the second driving assembly stops driving, while the first driving assembly is turned on in reverse and drives in reverse for a first long time to complete the back-and-forth movement of the toy part 10.

[0058] Among them, the rotation duration of the first long time is related to the connecting member 305 and the driving diameter of the motor. After the rotation of the first long time ends, it is sufficient to enable the toy part 10 to pass through all or part of the openings 201 and move to a second position different from the initial first position. For example, after the rotation of the first long time ends, the connecting member 305 is completely wound onto the second driving assembly; the entire loosening action process can actively relieve the jamming phenomenon, and because only a short drive is used, it can achieve the benefits of better solving the jamming phenomenon and saving power; among them, the loosening action can be set before a certain motor drive, or after a certain motor drive, or multiple loosening / jitter operations, loosening / jitter operations with different durations, etc. can be set.

[0059] In some embodiments, the length of the connecting member 305 is 1.5 to 3 times the length of the toy housing 20. For example, the length of the connecting member 305 is set to be twice the length of the toy housing 20. This can avoid a sharp increase in the frictional force after the connecting member 305 is wound and prevent the phenomenon of jamming, thereby preventing the torque of the first drive assembly or the second drive assembly from being insufficient to overcome the frictional force between the connecting members 305, resulting in drive failure and the inability of the toy member 10 to move, etc., improving the durability and playability of the product.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 , the toy housing 20 includes a first housing member 204, a second housing member 205, and a third housing member 206. The first housing member 204 is configured to accommodate the first drive assembly. A plurality of second housing members 205 are provided. The plurality of second housing members 205 are located between the first housing member 204 and the third housing member 206. Each second housing member 205 is provided with an opening 201. The third housing member 206 is configured to accommodate the second drive assembly.

[0061] Exemplarily, the first housing member 204, the second housing member 205, and the third housing member 206 can be formed by an integrally formed manner. And the number of the second housing members 205 includes but is not limited to three. The first housing member 204 is located on the left side of the second housing member 205, and the third housing member 206 is located on the right side of the second housing member 205. One opening 201 is provided in the second housing member 205 at the leftmost side and the second housing member 205 at the rightmost side, and this opening 201 can be provided at the upper end. And two openings 201 are provided in the second housing member 205 in the middle, and these two openings 201 can be distributed on the front and back sides of the middle second housing member 205.

[0062] It should be noted that when there are three second housing members 205, after one end of the connecting member 305 is connected to the first drive assembly, one end first passes through the opening 201 of the rightmost second housing member 205 and extends to the middle second housing member 205, and sequentially passes through the two openings 201 of this middle second housing member 205, extends to the accommodation cavity of the toy housing 20 through the opening 201 of the leftmost second housing member 205, and finally is connected to the second drive assembly to complete the connection of the connecting member 305.

[0063] Of course, in order to fix the first driving component and the second driving component, the toy housing 20 further includes a first upper cover, a first lower cover, a second upper cover, and a second lower cover. The first upper cover and the first lower cover are located inside the first housing component 204. The first upper cover is connected to the first lower cover to fix the first driving component therebetween. The second upper cover and the second lower cover are located inside the third housing component 206. The second upper cover is connected to the second lower cover to fix the second driving component therebetween.

[0064] In the above implementation process, the first driving component and the second driving component are respectively arranged inside the toy housing 20, which can not only ensure the aesthetics of the product, but also protect the first driving component and the second driving component, improving the service life of the components. And there are several second housing components 205, and each second housing component 205 is provided with an opening 201. The connecting member 305 can pass through the opening 201 according to a preset distribution method. Thus, under the operation of the first driving component or the second driving component, the toy part 10 can move along a preset route to form a hide-and-seek game, attracting pets and enhancing the pets' interest in the game.

[0065] In some embodiments, the toy housing 20 further includes a first support member 208 and a second support member 209. The first support member 208 is connected to the first housing component 204, and the connection method includes but is not limited to integral molding. The second support member 209 is connected to the third housing component 206, and the connection method includes but is not limited to integral molding.

[0066] In the above implementation process, the first support member 208 is arranged on the first housing component 204, and the second support member 209 is arranged on the third housing component 206. Thus, under the action of the first support member 208 and the second support member 209, a supporting effect is achieved, facilitating the user to fix the pet toy.

[0067] In some embodiments, the driving structure 30 further includes a switch 306, a control board 308, and a battery 309. The switch 306 is connected to the control board 308. The control board 308 is connected to the first driving component and the second driving component. The battery 309 is connected to the first driving component and the second driving component. Among them, the control board 308 can electrically control the whole toy, and the switch 306 is used for power-on or mode control of the whole toy.

[0068] In the above implementation process, the switch 306 is connected to the control board 308, and can control the operation of the first driving component and / or the second driving component through the switch 306. Moreover, the tightness of the connecting member 305 by the first driving component and the second driving component is not high. Even when the connecting member 305 is in a loose state, it can be adjusted extremely quickly, and it allows the pet to pull or bite the toy member 10 during the game without losing its function and can return to normal as soon as possible. There is no need for the user to disassemble the product for repair and reassembly, and the assembly of the product itself becomes extremely easy. At the same time, the battery 309 can provide electrical energy for the first driving component and the second driving component, realizing the function of allowing the pet to play through the pet toy, and reducing the user's accompanying time.

[0069] In some embodiments, the driving structure 30 further includes a sensor 307. The sensor 307 is exposed on the toy housing 20 and is used to sense the toy member 10 and / or the pet. Among them, the clamping member, the control board 308, the battery 309, and the sensor 307 can all be arranged on the first housing component 204 or the second housing component 205. This improves the intelligence of the product, reduces the user's accompanying time, and saves electrical energy.

[0070] Exemplarily, the sensor 307 is used to sense whether the pet is approaching. Especially when the pet has been away for a long time (for example, 3 - 5 minutes), the control board 308 will temporarily turn off the reduction motor to save power. When the pet appears again, it will be sensed and trigger the start of the reduction motor to resume the game.
