[0024] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0025] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper" and "lower" and the like indicate positions or location relationships that are based on the positions or location relationships when the product is in normal use.
[0026] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features.
[0027] The utility model embodiment provides an itching instrument 100, combined with Figures 1 to 7 As shown, it includes a mounting base 1 and a roller 3 that are detachably connected to each other. The mounting base 1 is provided with a rotating assembly 2, and the rotating assembly 2 includes a power member, and the power member is used to drive the roller 3 to rotate relative to the mounting base 1. The rotating assembly 2 can drive the roller 3 to rotate axially, and the power member is electrically driven. When the pet scratches on the roller 3, it is no longer necessary to rotate the roller 3 with effort. The outer surface of the roller 3 is covered with rubber teeth. When the roller 3 rotates, the rubber teeth also rotate accordingly, and the pet can scratch on the rubber teeth. In actual application, the user will generally fix the scratching instrument 100 in a corner of a wall or a table corner, etc., so that the pet can use it conveniently. When the pet scratches, hair and dandruff will fall off, and some hair and dandruff will adhere to the rubber teeth. When the user cleans it, the roller 3 can be removed from the rotating assembly 2 and cleaned separately. This is simple and convenient, and there is no need to disassemble the entire scratching instrument 100.
[0028] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the power member is a motor 21, and the rotating assembly 2 also includes a main rotating member 23 connected to the roller 3. The motor 21 is provided with a main rotating shaft 22 connected to the main rotating member 23. The motor 21 provides a driving force to drive the main rotating member 23 to rotate along the rotating shaft of the motor 21. The main rotating member 23 drives the roller 3 to rotate, and the main rotating member 23 can be arranged in the upper and lower directions of the roller 3, and can also be arranged on the side of the roller 3. In this embodiment, the main rotating member 23 is located above the roller 3.
[0029] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, the end of the roller 3 is provided with a slave rotating part 31 detachably connected to the main rotating part 23. When the main rotating part 23 and the slave rotating part 31 are connected, the motor 21 works and drives the main rotating part 23 to rotate, and the main rotating part 23 drives the slave rotating part 31 to rotate. The main rotating part 23 and the slave rotating part 31 cooperate with each other, so that the roller 3 rotates synchronously with the main rotating part 23, thereby realizing the automatic rotation of the roller 3, which is labor-saving and intelligent. The slave rotating part 31 can be set at both ends of the roller 3, and the main rotating part 23 is set at a matching position on the mounting seat 1, so as to drive the two ends of the roller 3 to rotate together.
[0030] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the main rotating part 23 is provided with a first concave-convex tooth, and the slave rotating part 31 is provided with a second concave-convex tooth matched with the first concave-convex tooth. The first concave-convex tooth is arranged on the lower bottom ring of the main rotating part 23, and the second concave-convex tooth is arranged on the upper top ring of the slave rotating part 31, and the first concave-convex tooth and the second concave-convex tooth are detachably connected. After the first concave-convex tooth and the second concave-convex tooth are engaged with each other, they can ensure that the main rotating part 23 and the slave rotating part 31 rotate synchronously while limiting the position. When the main rotating part 23 and the slave rotating part 31 are connected, the roller 3 is fixed on the mounting seat 1, and when the motor 21 drives the main rotating part 23 to rotate, the slave rotating part 31 also rotates coaxially and in the same direction as the main rotating part 23, and when the slave rotating part rotates, it drives the roller 3 to rotate relative to the mounting seat 1.
[0031] Preferably, a protection mechanism is provided in the motor 21, and when the pet's paw presses on the roller 3 for a long time, so that the rotation of the roller 3 is blocked, the motor 21 will be automatically powered off. This not only protects the safety of the pet's paw and prevents it from getting stuck and getting injured, but also protects the safety of the motor 21 and prevents the motor 21 from being damaged.
[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the roller 3 is provided with a slave rotating member 31, and the other end is provided with a slave rotating shaft 36, and the rotating assembly 2 also includes a connecting member 24 rotatably connected to the slave rotating shaft 36. The connecting member 24 is provided with a groove, and the slave rotating shaft 36 abuts against the groove, and the rotation of the roller 3 drives the slave rotating shaft 36 to rotate in the groove. The main rotating member 23 and the slave rotating member 31 cooperate, and the main rotating shaft 22 and the slave rotating shaft 36 cooperate to jointly realize the rotation of the two ends of the roller 3. Preferably, the slave rotating shaft 36 and the main rotating shaft 22 are on the same vertical axis, which can make the rotation of the two ends of the roller 3 more stable.
[0033] The rotating assembly 2 further comprises an elastic member, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the mounting seat 1 and the connecting member 24. The elastic member is a compression spring 25, which provides a displacement difference for the roller 3, so as to facilitate the disassembly of the roller 3 from the mounting seat 1.
[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the roller 3 includes a detachable top cover 32, and a cavity for placing objects is formed between the top cover 32 and the roller 3. The top cover 32 is detachably arranged on the roller 3, so that the user can place objects in the cavity of the roller 3 conveniently.
[0035] When the top cover 32 is disposed at both ends of the roller 3, the slave rotating member 31 or the slave rotating shaft 36 is disposed on the top cover 32. When the top cover 32 is disposed on one end of the roller 3 close to the main rotating member 23, the slave rotating member 31 is disposed on the top cover 32 to cooperate with the main rotating member 23. When the top cover 32 is disposed on one end of the roller 3 close to the connecting member 24, the slave rotating shaft 36 is disposed on the top cover 32 to cooperate with the connecting member 24. The top cover 32 can also be disposed on the side wall of the roller 3, in which case the slave rotating member 31 and the slave rotating shaft 36 are respectively located on both ends of the roller 3.
[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, preferably, a partition 33 is provided in the roller 3, and a receiving cavity is formed between the top cover 32 and the partition 33, and a plurality of air holes are provided on the top cover 32. Taking catnip as an example, some catnip is relatively fine and the required amount is small. If it is directly put into the roller 3, it will stick to the inner wall of the roller 3 as the roller 3 rotates, which is more troublesome to clean. The partition 33 separates the cavity in the roller 3. The partition 33 is usually arranged near the two ends of the roller 3. The user can place catnip in the receiving cavity, which is more convenient to clean, and the air holes can allow the smell of catnip to be better dissipated, thereby attracting cats to scratch on the roller 3.
[0037] like Figure 4As shown, the roller 3 includes a left shell 34 and a right shell 35, the left shell 34 and the right shell 35 are detachably connected, and the left shell 34 and the right shell 35 are covered to form a cavity in which objects can be placed. The outer walls of the left shell 34 and the right shell 35 are covered with the rubber teeth. Taking a pet cat as an example, in one embodiment, the cavity can be used to place catnip, and the smell of catnip can be emitted through the gap between the left shell 34 and the right shell 35, thereby attracting the cat. In the early stage of using the scratching instrument 100, the catnip placed in the roller 3 can be used to attract the attention of the cat, so that the cat becomes interested in the scratching instrument 100, and then trains it to learn to use the scratching instrument 100. Preferably, a plurality of air holes can be set on the left shell 34 and the right shell 35 to further promote the smell of catnip.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the mounting base 1 includes an upper shell 11 and a lower shell 12, the rotating assembly 2 is accommodated between the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12, and the lower shell 12 is provided with two connecting ports, and the two ends of the roller 3 are detachably connected to the rotating assembly 2 at the connecting ports. The upper shell 11 is recessed downward to provide a space for accommodating the roller 3, and the connecting ports are adapted to the mounting positions at the two ends of the roller 3. In this embodiment, the main rotating member 23 and the connecting member 24 extend out of the two connecting ports respectively, and are detachably connected to the roller 3. A battery is also accommodated between the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12, and the battery provides power for the motor 21.
[0039] The tickling instrument 100 can control the rotation of the roller 3 by a user's manual switch. Preferably, Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting base 1 is also provided with a sensor 4 electrically connected to the power part, and the sensor 4 is used to sense the distance of an object close to the mounting base 1. The sensor 4 can be an infrared sensor or an ultrasonic sensor or other distance sensor. The upper shell 11 is provided with a sensing port adapted to the sensor 4, and the sensing part of the sensor 4 corresponds to the sensing port. The sensor 4 is used to detect whether a pet is close to the scratching instrument 100. When the sensor 4 senses that a pet is approaching, it will transmit an electrical signal to the motor 21, and the motor 21 will drive the roller 3 to rotate. When the sensor 4 senses that the pet has left, it will transmit an electrical signal to the motor 21, and the motor 21 will stop working, and the roller 3 will also stop rotating. This intelligent setting makes the scratching instrument 100 very convenient to use, and can start and stop automatically, saving time and energy for users, and also saving more electricity.
[0040] like Figure 7As shown, the tickle meter 100 further includes a mounting plate 5, which is snap-connected with the mounting seat 1, and a plurality of mounting openings are provided on the mounting plate 5. The mounting plate 5 is arranged on a side of the mounting seat 1 away from the roller 3, and the tickle meter 100 can be installed in a variety of ways: Velcro can be installed on the mounting plate 5, and the tickle meter 100 can be attached to a table corner or a wall corner through the Velcro; or a strap can be passed through the mounting opening to tie the tickle meter 100 to a table corner or a cat stand.
[0041] Preferably, a camera may be installed on the tickle meter 100, and the user may remotely observe the pet's activities through the camera.
[0042] Although the disclosure is as above, the protection scope of the disclosure is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure, and these changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
