Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pet toys, in particular to a shielded cat-amusing toy. Background Art

[0002] In order to increase the fun of the toy, Chinese patent CN210275512U provides a pet toy, in which a multi-section rod can achieve a telescopic effect in holes of different dimensions, so that the pet toy has an interesting entertainment mode. When the multi-section rod is extended and interacts with the pet, it will be hooked by the pet's claws, causing damage to the toy itself and also having a certain impact on the safety of the pet. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a shielded cat toy, which solves the safety problem of existing telescopic toys.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a shielded cat teasing toy, including a main body, a hole is arranged on the surface of the main body, a telescopic rod is arranged inside the main body, the telescopic rod is connected to a power unit, an outer sheath structure is arranged outside the main body, and the power unit drives the telescopic rod to explore the hole and push out a protruding structure on the outer sheath structure.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the outer sheath structure covers the toy, and the telescopic rod attracts the pet's attention by protruding a protruding structure on the outer sheath structure, thereby achieving the purpose of interacting with the pet. Compared with telescopic toys without an outer sheath structure, the pet does not directly contact the toy movement and will not damage the toy structure. The retraction of the telescopic rod will not cause harm to the pet, and the safety is improved. At the same time, the covered toy is more mysterious, which arouses the pet's interest in interaction.

[0006] Furthermore, the outer sheath structure is an elastic sleeve-shaped structure.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic outer sheath structure is deformed as the telescopic rod is extended, and recovers its shape after the telescopic rod is retracted.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer sheath structure is a non-elastic soft sheath-like structure with a lifting space.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the non-elastic soft sleeve-shaped outer sheath structure moves along with the extension of the telescopic rod, so that it is not penetrated and the protruding structure is not pushed out under the action of the lifting space.

[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of holes are provided, and the holes are not all opened on the same horizontal plane. A guide rail layer is provided in the main body, and a slope corresponding to each of the holes is provided on the guide rail layer.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the holes on the surface of the main body of the pet toy are not all on the same horizontal plane, that is, they can be on the top of the main body or on the side of the main body, so that the telescopic rod can be telescoped in holes of different dimensions, making the pet toy have an interesting entertainment mode.

[0012] Furthermore, the telescopic rod is an elastic rod.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic rod can be deformed to adapt to the slope on the guide rail layer and probe the hole. At the same time, when the elastic rod lifts up the outer sheath structure, it is bent by the reverse force, reducing the stress on the outer sheath structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the telescopic rod is a multi-section rod including a plurality of connecting rods hinged in sequence.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the multi-section rod moves in multiple directions, cooperates with the slope of the guide rail layer, and explores the hole.

[0016] Furthermore, the multi-section rod includes a main rod, a second rod and a third rod. One end of the main rod is rotatably connected to the power unit, and the other end is hinged to one end of the second rod, so that the second rod can swing horizontally. The other end of the second rod is hinged to one end of the third rod, so that the third rod can swing vertically.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, when the power unit is running, the main rod will rotate with the end connected to the power unit as the axis under the drive of the power unit. Because the multi-section rod is arranged on the guide rail layer, it can be guided by the shape of the guide rail layer. At the same time, the multi-section rod fits the guide rail layer and generates a certain friction force when rotating. When the main rod rotates, the second rod will change in the horizontal direction under the influence of the shape of the guide rail layer and the friction force, and the third rod will change in the vertical direction under the influence of the shape of the guide rail layer. Through the changes in the directions of the second rod and the third rod, the main rod as a whole will change between bending and straightening, thereby achieving the effect of telescoping in each hole in cooperation with the guide rail layer.

[0018] Furthermore, a guide cloth is arranged at one end of the telescopic rod protruding from the hole.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide cloth assists the telescopic rod to smoothly and powerfully probe out of the hole and lift up the elastic cloth.

[0020] Furthermore, the interior of the main body is divided into a plurality of layered spaces, and a guide rail layer is provided in each of the layered spaces to guide the telescopic rod to extend out from different layered spaces.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the fun of the toy is increased.

[0022] Furthermore, the power unit includes a motor, a battery pack and an MCU microcontroller unit.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the battery pack can provide power for the motor and MCU microcontroller unit.

[0024] After being electrified, it can rotate, thereby realizing the driving of the telescopic rod. The MCU microcontroller unit can control the direction of rotation of the motor through a preset program, so that the multi-section rod driven by the motor can realize clockwise and counterclockwise rotation.

[0025] Furthermore, the motor is provided with a speed reduction mechanism.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the speed reduction mechanism can play a role of speed reduction between the multi-section rod and the power unit, thereby achieving the effect of reducing the rotation speed of the multi-section rod.

[0027] Furthermore, a switch is provided on the surface of the main body, and the switch is controllably connected to the power unit.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the operating switch can control the opening or closing of the pet toy.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the utility model are: 1. The outer sheath structure has a protective function for the play object and the toy itself, reducing damage; 2. It is highly entertaining and mysterious, attracting the attention of pets and enhancing interaction. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Embodiment 1: Figures 1 to 3A shielded cat toy is provided, including a main body, a shell is arranged on the surface of the main body, which can protect the main body, a hole 3 is arranged on the surface of the main body, and the hole 3 is opened through the surface of the main body and the shell, a telescopic rod 2 is arranged in the main body, and the telescopic rod 2 is connected to a power unit, and an outer sheath structure 1 is arranged outside the main body, and the power unit drives the telescopic rod 2 to probe out of the hole 3 and push out a protruding structure on the outer sheath structure 1.

[0037] On the basis of the first embodiment, the length of the telescopic rod 2 in the straightened state exceeds the position of the hole, that is, it protrudes out of the main body and pushes out a protruding structure on the outer sheath structure 1.

[0038] On the basis of the first embodiment, a guide cloth is provided at one end of the telescopic rod 2 protruding from the hole 3, and the guide cloth wraps the end of the telescopic rod protruding from the hole 3, and the two are glued together by glue.

[0039] Based on Example 1, the power unit includes a motor, a battery pack and an MCU microcontroller unit, which are all located in the bottom space of the main body, and the MCU microcontroller unit is controlled and connected to the motor; the battery pack is electrically connected to the motor and the MCU microcontroller unit through a circuit, and the motor is provided with a deceleration mechanism to play a deceleration role.

[0040] Based on the first embodiment, a switch is provided on the surface of the main body.

[0041] Embodiment 2, based on embodiment 1, the outer sheath structure 1 is an elastic sleeve-shaped structure, the elastic outer sheath structure is deformed as the telescopic rod is extended, and recovers its shape after the telescopic rod is retracted.

[0042] Embodiment 3, on the basis of embodiment 1, the outer sheath structure is a non-elastic soft sheath-like structure with a lifting space, the internal space of the non-elastic soft sheath-like outer sheath structure is limited so that it will not be broken when the telescopic rod is fully extended, and it will be pushed out of the raised structure as the telescopic rod is extended. After the telescopic rod retracts, the outer sheath structure loses support and falls back, and when the telescopic rod is extended again, it is propped up at the corresponding position of the telescopic rod extending outward.

[0043] Based on the third embodiment, the outer sheath structure is a thin plastic structure.

[0044] Embodiment 4, on the basis of embodiment 1, a plurality of holes 3 are provided, each of the holes 3 is provided on the top and side of the main body, and not all are opened on the same horizontal plane, a guide rail layer 4 is provided in the main body, and a slope corresponding to each of the holes 3 is provided on the guide rail layer 4.

[0045] Embodiment 5, based on embodiment 1, the telescopic rod 2 is an elastic rod made of TPR or silicone material.

[0046] Embodiment 6, on the basis of embodiment 1, the telescopic rod 2 is a multi-section rod including a plurality of hinged connecting rods in sequence, the multi-section rod moves in multiple directions, cooperates with the slope of the guide rail layer, and probes the hole 3, the multi-section rod includes a main rod 201, a second rod 202 and a third rod 203, one end of the main rod 201 is arranged at the center position of the guide rail layer 4, and is connected to the power unit located below the guide rail layer 4, and can be driven by the power unit to rotate around the center position of the guide rail layer 4 as the axis; the other end of the main rod 201 is hinged to one end of the second rod 202, and the second rod 202 can swing in the horizontal direction of the hinge point; the other end of the second rod 202 is hinged to the third rod 203 One end of the telescopic rod 201 is hinged, and the three rods 203 can swing in the vertical direction of the hinge point; when the telescopic rod 2 composed of the main rod 201, the second rod 202 and the third rod 203 is in operation, its motion state is: the telescopic rod 2 rotates clockwise under the drive of the power unit, at this time the main rod 201 is the first-level driven rod, and the second rod 202 hinged therewith is the second-level driven rod. Because the telescopic rod 2 is arranged to fit the guide rail layer 4, there is friction between the telescopic rod 2 and the guide rail layer 4. In the case of friction, the angle of the second rod 202 rotating in the clockwise direction is smaller than the angle of the main rod 201, so that the main rod 201 rotates and drags the second rod 20 2 bends between them. At the same time, the three-rod 203 will be retracted from the hole 3 at the corresponding position of the telescopic rod 2 under the drive of the second rod 202. The retracted three-rod 203 will fall to fit with the guide rail layer 4 under the action of gravity. When the second rod 202 and the third rod 203 rotate until one end of the three-rod 203 is aligned between two adjacent slopes of the guide rail layer 4, the power unit changes the rotation direction, and the main rod 201 rotates counterclockwise under its action. When rotating in the clockwise direction, the angle between the main rod 201 and the second rod 202 is less than 180 degrees. When rotating in the counterclockwise direction, the angle between the two begins to increase under the influence of friction, so that the telescopic rod 2 gradually straightens, and the three-rod 203 is adjusted to the right angle. The rod 203 can be extended from the corresponding hole 3 on the side surface of the toy body. According to the same principle, when the holes 3 corresponding to the three rods 203 are opened at the top of the body surface, they will move upward along the slope of the guide layer 4 during movement, thereby achieving the effect of the telescopic rod 2 extending from the hole 3 at the top of the body surface; the telescopic rod 2 can be extended and retracted in other holes 3 based on the same principle, and when the power unit rotates clockwise or counterclockwise according to a certain rule, the telescopic rod 2 will also be extended and retracted in the corresponding holes according to a certain rule, so that the telescopic rod 2 can be extended and retracted in holes 3 of different dimensions, making the pet toy have an interesting entertainment mode.

[0047] Embodiment 7, based on the above embodiment, Figures 4 to 5It is given that the interior of the main body is divided into multiple layered spaces, and a guide layer 4 is respectively arranged in each of the layered spaces to guide the telescopic rod 2 to extend out from different layered spaces. Taking a double-layer toy as an example, the interior of the product is divided into a layered space No. 1 601 and a layered space No. 2 602, and the power unit is fixed at the center of the product. The guide layer 4 is respectively arranged in the layered space No. 1 601 and the layered space No. 2 602, and the inclined surface on the guide layer 4 extends to the corresponding direction, that is, in the layered space No. 1 601 on the left, the inclined surface on the guide layer extends to the left, and in the layered space No. 2 602 on the right, the inclined surface on the guide layer extends to the right. The telescopic rod 2 is respectively arranged in different layered spaces, and extends out of the hole 3 with the cooperation of the corresponding guide layer 4.

[0048] On the basis of the first embodiment, the deceleration mechanism is a pulley, one of which is arranged at the center of the guide rail layer 4 and corresponds to the telescopic rod 2 on the front side of the guide rail layer 4. Its rotation can drive the main rod 201 of the telescopic rod 2 to rotate. Among the pulleys, the smallest pulley is rotatably connected to the motor 4 and driven by the motor. Then, under the transmission of the belt, the remaining pulleys will rotate accordingly, and finally the driving force will be transmitted to the telescopic rod 2 through the pulley. Since the driving force has been decelerated by the pulley, the rotation speed of the telescopic rod 2 is reduced.

[0049] On the basis of the first embodiment, the switch is control-connected to the power unit, a hole is provided on the surface of the main body for the switch to protrude from the surface of the main body, the switch can pass through the hole and be formed on the outer sheath structure for direct operation by the user, the switch is control-connected to the MCU microcontroller unit through the guide rail layer 4, so that the MCU microcontroller unit can be controlled by operating the switch, and then the power unit as a whole is controlled by the MCU microcontroller unit, thereby achieving the effect of controlling the opening and closing of the pet toy by the switch.

[0050] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, it should be clearly understood that the present invention may be modified and varied by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
