Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of detection equipment and relates to a pet toy testing equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the development of social economy and the improvement of residents' living standards, pets have gradually changed from traditional functional companions such as care and hunting to family members for emotional communication and companionship. This change has led to the rapid expansion of the pet products market, among which pet toys, as an important tool to enhance human-pet interaction and promote the physical and mental health of pets, have a growing market demand.

[0003] Pet toys are designed to help pets engage in physical activity and satisfy their natural chewing instincts, especially for animals such as dogs that have a strong need to chew. However, these early designs often overlooked durability and safety issues, especially when pet toys are easily damaged by strong chewing, which may cause small parts to fall off and be accidentally ingested by pets, posing a safety hazard.

[0004] Based on the above situation, the focus of innovation in the industry has gradually shifted to improving the durability and bite resistance of pet toys. Nevertheless, there is still an obvious gap between the rapid development of the pet toy market and consumers' high attention to product safety, that is, the lack of testing devices that can accurately simulate pet chewing behavior and standardize the evaluation of pet toy durability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a pet toy testing device includes: a bite simulator 100, the bite simulator 100 includes an upper jaw seat 110 and a lower jaw seat 120, the end of the upper jaw seat 110 is hinged to the lower jaw seat 120, at least one of the upper jaw seat 110 and the lower jaw seat 120 has a simulated tooth portion 130, and a bite space is formed between the upper jaw seat 110 and the lower jaw seat 120; a pressure applying element 200, the pressure applying element 200 is connected to the upper jaw seat 110 and can apply a bite pressure to the upper jaw seat 110; a tension applying element 300, the tension applying element 300 is provided with a quick connector 310 for connecting to the toy to be tested.

[0026] The test equipment is intended to accurately evaluate the durability and anti-biting performance of pet toys by simulating the real pet biting behavior. The bite simulator 100 consists of two parts, namely the upper jaw seat 110 and the lower jaw seat 120, which are connected by a hinge and can simulate the opening and closing action of the pet's mouth. At least one of the upper jaw seat 110 or the lower jaw seat 120 is equipped with a simulated tooth portion 130. In the actual structure, both the upper jaw seat 110 and the lower jaw seat 120 are provided with simulated teeth 130. These simulated teeth 130 imitate the real tooth structure of the pet, so that the actual biting conditions can be closer to the test process. The bite space between the upper jaw seat 110 and the lower jaw seat 120 is the place where the pet toy to be tested is placed. The pressure applying element 200 is preferably a cylinder or a linear motor or a hydraulic cylinder. The pressure applying element 200 is connected to the upper jaw seat 110 and has the function of applying biting pressure to the pet toy, which means that by adjusting this element, different strengths of biting forces can be simulated to test the performance of the toy under different conditions. The tension applying element 300 has a quick connector 310 for easily and quickly fixing the pet toy to be tested. It can simulate the pulling force generated by the pet when playing by repeatedly pulling the toy, and further evaluate the firmness and tensile resistance of the toy.

[0027] When pets are playing, they usually hold or press the toy with their forelimbs, and then bite it with their mouths; during the simulation test, the toy is first placed in the bite space, and the tension applying element 300 hooks or clamps the toy to be tested through the quick connector 310, and then the pressure applying element 200 applies pressure to the maxillary seat 110, so that the maxillary seat 110 and the mandibular seat 120 cooperate with the simulated teeth 130 to simulate the process of the pet's mouth biting the toy, and then the tension applying element 300 applies tension to the toy. In the specific process, the tension applying element 300 pulls the toy back and forth, thereby simulating the process of the pet biting the toy. After the test is completed, check whether the toy to be tested is damaged or the degree of damage, so as to fully evaluate the performance of the toy during the pet's play, ensure that they can withstand various forces in daily use, and reduce potential safety risks.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, based on the above embodiment, it also includes a workbench 400, the workbench 400 is provided with a bracket 410, the mandibular seat 120 and the tension applying element 300 are both installed on the workbench 400, and the pressure applying element 200 is connected to the bracket 410 and is located above the maxillary seat 110.

[0029] The workbench 400 is not only the basic support platform of the entire testing device, but also has a built-in bracket 410 structure, which provides a stable installation environment for the key components of the equipment. The mandibular seat 120 is detachably connected to the workbench 400 to facilitate replacement of the corresponding occlusal simulator 100 under different testing environments or requirements; the bracket 410 is fixedly connected to the workbench 400. At the same time, the pressure applying element 200 is connected to the bracket 410, and its position arrangement is corresponding to the maxillary seat 110 in the upper and lower directions, so that the pressure applying element 200 can apply pressure from above the maxillary seat 110.

[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown, on the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the pressure applying element 200 has a pressure rod 210, which is connected to the maxillary seat 110, and the pressure rod 210 is provided with a first force sensor 220. The pressure applying element 200 is a key component in the pet toy testing equipment. It is connected to the maxillary seat 110 through a pressure rod 210 structure, and plays the role of simulating the bite force applied when the pet bites. The design of this pressure rod 210 can not only flexibly adjust the pressure applied to the maxillary seat 110, but also integrates a first force sensor 220. The first force sensor 220 is to monitor and record the bite pressure value applied to the pet toy in real time. When the device is running, the pressure rod 210 moves downward to apply pressure to the toy, and the sensor immediately captures the force changes in this process, and converts these data into electrical signals or other forms of signal output for subsequent analysis.

[0031] On the basis of the above embodiment, the pressure applying element 200 is hinged to the bracket 410, and the end of the pressure rod 210 is hinged to the maxillary seat 110. The pressure applying element 200 is preferably a cylinder, wherein one of the cylinder body and the piston rod of the pressure applying element 200 is hinged to the bracket 410 and the other is hinged to the maxillary seat 110. This design enables the pressure applying element 200 to adaptively change its position when applying the biting force.

[0032] like Figure 1-2 As shown, based on the above embodiment, the tension applying element 300 has a pull rod 320, a quick connector 310 is arranged at the end of the pull rod 320, and the pull rod 320 is provided with a second force sensor 330. The quick connector 310 can preferably be a clip or other clamp that can quickly establish a connection with the pet toy, and the second force sensor 330 can accurately monitor the tension applied by the tension applying element 300 to the toy. Such a dual sensor configuration provides the testing equipment with comprehensive mechanical performance evaluation capabilities, and can comprehensively judge the durability, tear resistance and overall strength of the pet toy from multiple dimensions.

[0033] Preferably, the tension applying element 300 is a cylinder or a linear motor.
