[0032] The utility model provides a modular pet toy, including a module assembly, the module assembly including a lower module 100 and an upper module 200, the upper module 200 is hollow inside and is set as a filling area 201 for filling food, the lower module 100 is located on one side of the upper module 200, the lower module 100 extends into the filling area 201 towards one side of the upper module 200 and forms a sealing portion 101, the sealing portion 101 and the filling area 201 are detachably connected, the inner side of the sealing portion 101 is provided with a matching portion for matching pets to eat, the outer surface of the sealing portion 101 is provided with an outer thread 102, the inner surface of the filling area 201 is provided with an inner thread 203, and the inner thread 203 is screwed with the outer thread 102;

[0033] The filling area 201 can be filled with food for pets. The bottom of the lower module 100 is in the shape of a truncated cone, so that when the pet toy is placed on the ground or a platform, the pet toy is in an inclined state and is not easy to fall over.

[0034] In this embodiment, the cooperation between the internal thread 203 and the external thread 102 enables the lower module 100 and the upper module 200 to be disassembled, so that the lower module 100 and the upper module 200 can be replaced or disassembled for cleaning.

[0035] In other embodiments (not shown in the drawings), the sealing portion 101 and the filling area 201 can be plugged in by snap-fitting or interference fit, so that the upper module 200 and the lower module 100 can be detachably connected in this way, and the detachable connection between the upper module 200 and the lower module 100 is not limited to the above-mentioned connection method, and other detachable installation methods can also be used.

[0036] The inner wall of the filling area 201 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 202, the protrusions 202 are hemispherical and strip-shaped, and the strip-shaped protrusions 202 and the hemispherical protrusions 202 are alternately distributed, and the matching part is a blocking member 103, and the blocking member 103 is installed on the inner surface of the sealing part 101;

[0037] In this embodiment, the top of the filling area 201 is open, and the filling area 201 is filled with pet food. The sealing portion 101 seals the bottom of the filling area 201, and part of the food also enters the sealing portion 101, so that the sealing portion 101 can also store part of the food;

[0038] Therefore, when the pet uses the pet toy, the pet can lick the food in the filling area 201 and the sealing portion 101 with the tongue.

[0039] By providing the protrusion 202 on the inner wall of the filling area 201, when the pet licks the food, the protrusion 202 can rub the pet's tongue, thereby cleaning the pet's tongue, and the protrusion 202 can also stimulate and massage the pet's tongue, thereby increasing the pet's appetite, and the protrusion 202 can also make the food adhere to the inner wall of the filling area 201 better, thereby extending the pet's eating and playing time, and also increasing the contact time between the pet's tongue and the protrusion 202, thereby improving the cleaning and stimulation effect of the tongue;

[0040] The protrusion 202 is not limited to being in a hemispherical or bar shape. In other embodiments (not shown in the drawings), the protrusion 202 may also be in a cone, prism, or any other three-dimensional structural shape suitable for stimulating the pet's tongue.

[0041] By providing the blocking member 103 located in the filling area 201, when the pet licks the food, the blocking member 103 can further block the food or the pet's tongue, further prolonging the pet's eating time;

[0042] The size and shape of the blocking member 103 are not limited to the following Figure 3 The shape in the figure may also be a sphere, a cone, a prism or other three-dimensional geometric shapes;

[0043] The blocking member 103 can also be installed in the sealing portion 101 in a detachable manner, such as by threaded connection, clamping or other detachable installation methods. In this way, the blocking member 103 can be removed and replaced separately through the detachable installation method, thereby improving the applicability of the pet toy.

[0044] Embodiment 2:

[0045] See also Figure 5 and Figure 8 ;

[0046] The difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is that the matching part is a long cylindrical groove 105, the sealing part 101 extends to the other side of the filling area 201 and forms a long cylindrical structure, the long cylindrical groove 105 is opened in the long cylindrical sealing part 101, and the end of the filling area 201 away from the sealing part 101 is provided with a licking port 204 with a diameter smaller than the filling area 201.

[0047] By providing the long cylindrical groove 105, the amount of food loaded into the sealing portion 101 can be increased. At the same time, the inner surface of the long cylindrical groove 105 is a relatively smooth surface, making it difficult for food to adhere to the inner wall of the long cylindrical groove 105. This can reduce the difficulty of the pet licking the food and adjust the pet's licking time.

[0048] By providing the licking opening 204, the opening area at the top of the filling area 201 can be reduced, thereby increasing the difficulty for the pet to lick the food and prolonging the pet's licking time and playing time.

[0049] The upper module 200 and the lower module 100 in this embodiment can be interchanged and assembled with the upper module 200 and the lower module 100 in the first embodiment, and the functions of the pet toy after replacement and assembly can be increased;

[0050] For example, combining the upper module 200 in Example 2 with the lower module 100 in Example 1 can further increase the difficulty for the pet to lick the food;

[0051] For example, the lower module 100 of Example 2 is combined with the upper module 200 of Example 1, so that after the pet toy is filled with food, most of the food is located in the long cylindrical groove 105 without being blocked by the blocking member 103, so that it is more convenient and less difficult for the pet to lick the food.

[0052] In other embodiments, Figure 7 A connecting piece 104 is disposed at the bottom of the long cylindrical groove 105. The connecting piece 104 is a spherical structure. A large piece of fixed food of a specific shape can be snap-fitted with the connecting piece 104. Figure 8 As shown;

[0053] When the lower module 100 with the connecting member 104 is combined with the upper module 200 of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 As shown, the pet can gradually lick the food connected to the connecting piece 104 through the licking opening 204, and because the food connected to the connecting piece 104 is in a large block shape, the food is not easy to fall out of the pet toy, and the pet can lick the food for a longer time, which can stimulate the pet's interest and extend the playing time.

[0054] Furthermore, the connecting piece 104 is not limited to the shape shown in the accompanying drawings, but may be any other shape suitable for engaging with food. Moreover, when the connecting piece 104 is placed in the long cylindrical groove 105 and the long cylindrical groove 105 is filled with some loose and broken food, the connecting piece 104 may also play a certain role in blocking the pet from licking the food, thereby prolonging the pet's licking time.

[0055] Embodiment 3:

[0056] See also Figures 9 to 11 ;

[0057] The difference between Example 3 and Example 2 is that:

[0058] At least one card piece 205 is installed at the licking opening 204. The card piece 205 is made of elastic material and is triangular in shape. The lower module 100 and the upper module 200 are made of, but not limited to, TPE material or nylon material.

[0059] In this embodiment, the food card piece 205 is arranged obliquely toward the filling area 201, that is, the food card piece 205 is arranged on the upper module 200 in a concave form. By arranging the food card piece 205 at the licking port 204, the food card piece 205 can prevent the food in the filling area 201 from falling out. At the same time, the food card piece 205 can prevent the pet from putting the tongue into the filling area 201 to lick the food, so that the pet can only eat the fallen food during the play process, thereby increasing the fun of the pet toy and the play time.

[0060] The card food sheet 205 is made of elastic material, such as TPE material, natural rubber and the like, so that the card food sheet 205 has elasticity.

[0061] In other embodiments (not shown in the drawings), the card piece 205 may also be in other geometric shapes, and the card piece 205 may also be arranged in a direction away from the filling area 201.

[0062] The upper module 200 and the lower module 100 in this embodiment can be interchanged and assembled with the upper module 200 and the lower module 100 in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, and the pet toy after replacement and assembly can further increase its functions:

[0063] For example, the upper module 200 of this embodiment is combined with the lower module 100 in embodiment 2. Fig.11 As shown, through this combination, stick-like foods such as teething sticks can be inserted into the long cylindrical groove 105 from the licking port 204, and the other end extends from the licking port 204 to the outside for the pet to gnaw on. When the food passes through the licking port 204, the elastic card piece 205 can clamp and fix the food to prevent the food from falling off. In this way, the pet toy also has the function of fixing stick-like foods.

[0064] In summary:

[0065] By providing the lower module 100 and the upper module 200 that can be separated from each other, the pet toy can be combined and replaced in a modular manner, so that the pet toy can achieve different functions after being combined and replaced. At the same time, the detachable structure also makes it convenient to clean the pet toy.

[0066] Furthermore, the lower module 100 and the upper module 200 are not limited to the shapes in the above embodiments, but can also be any other shapes suitable for pets to play with, so that the pet toy has more functions;

[0067] Furthermore, the matching portion is not limited to the shape in the above embodiment, but may also be any other shape suitable for matching with the pet's food.
