[0021] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 The embodiments of the present utility model are described in detail.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model relates to a spring amusement disk, comprising a turntable 1 and a base 2, wherein the base 2 can be directly placed on the ground or any flat place, the turntable 1 and the base 2 are coaxially arranged, and a connecting device is arranged between the turntable 1 and the base 2, and the connecting device can make the entire turntable 1 shake relative to the central axis. Further, if the thickness of the base 2 is thickened, the connecting device can make the turntable 1 shake relative to the central axis when the base 2 is not moved.
[0023] like Figure 5 As shown, the turntable 1 is formed by two identical annular shells, namely an upper annular shell 11 and a lower annular shell 12, which are connected to form a track 13 in the inner cavity after the upper annular shell 11 and the lower annular shell 12 are connected to form a track 13, and a rolling ball 14 for pets to play is placed in the track 13. Specifically, three connecting holes 21 are evenly spaced on the periphery of the upper annular shell 11, and three plugs are evenly arranged on the periphery of the lower annular shell 12, which are opposite to the connecting holes 21. The connecting holes 21 on the upper annular shell 11 are connected with the plugs on the lower annular shell 12 by interference fit. In order to further achieve a firm connection, the number of connecting holes 21 and plugs can be increased accordingly.
[0024] In order to enable the pet to move the ball 14 in the track 13, the ball 14 can move freely in the entire circular track 13, such as Figure 2 As shown, the outer surface of the upper annular shell 11 and the outer surface of the lower annular shell 12 are provided with three hollow holes 15 for pets to put their paws or tails into. The three hollow holes 15 are arranged circumferentially along the outer surface of the upper annular shell 11 and the outer surface of the lower annular shell 12, and the hollow holes 15 are evenly spaced. In order to facilitate the pet to observe and move the ball 14, the hollow holes 15 on the upper annular shell 11 correspond to the hollow holes 15 on the lower annular shell 12 one by one. Figure 3 As shown, a long hole is also provided on the surface of the shell between two adjacent hollow holes 15, thereby increasing the pet's interest in the turntable 1, helping the pet to play better, and enhancing the fun of the spring amusement disk.
[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, the base 2 has a top wall and side walls extending downward from the top wall. The base 2 is in the shape of a thick plate, preferably a circle, and can also be a rectangular or other shaped plate. The circular base 2 can be stably fixed even under greater pressure, and the circular design corresponds to the annular design of the turntable 1. The overall structure is compact, easy to install, and convenient for miniaturization.
[0026] like Figure 4As shown, the top wall of the base 2 is provided with three hollow holes 15' corresponding to the annular shell of the turntable 1 one by one, and the center of the base 2 is provided with a connecting hole 21, and the connecting hole 21 is provided with an internal thread.
[0027] In order to connect the turntable 1 and the base 2, a connecting device is provided between the turntable 1 and the base 2. Figure 5 As shown, the connection device includes a first connection member connected to the turntable 1, a second connection member connected to the base 2, and a reset mechanism 3 connecting the first connection member and the second connection member and resetting the turntable 1. Specifically, in the initial state, the turntable 1 and the base 2 remain stationary, and the turntable 1 is located directly above the base 2. When the turntable 1 is subjected to force, the turntable 1 swings along the central axis of the turntable 1 and the base 2. When the turntable 1 loses the force, the reset mechanism 3 drives the turntable 1 to gradually reduce the swing amplitude along the central axis of the turntable 1 and the base 1, and finally stops the turntable 1 from swinging, returning to the initial state where the turntable 1 is directly above the base 2. For example Figure 1 As shown, the first connecting member includes a fixing plate 16 arranged at the center of the turntable 1, with a center hole 18 corresponding to the connecting hole 21 of the base 2, and a first sleeve 17 extending from the center hole 18 toward the base 2. The fixing plate 16 is circular, and the first sleeve 17 is a hollow cylinder with openings at both ends. Three fixing columns are evenly distributed on the circumferential surface of the hollow cylinder, and the other end of the fixing column abuts against the inner side of the turntable 1. The center hole 18 and the first sleeve 17 are provided with internal threads. The upper surface of the fixing plate 16 is evenly distributed with three small holes along the circumference of the center hole 18, which are used to plug in toys similar to spiral feathers for pets to play with. Further, more or fewer small holes can be provided as needed, and the above technical solution can also be implemented.
[0028] Similarly, the second connecting member includes a second sleeve 22 arranged on the base 2 and coaxial with the connecting hole 21. Specifically, the second sleeve 22 is a hollow cylinder extending from the connecting hole 21 to the inner wall of the base 2. Three fixing columns are evenly distributed around the circumference of the hollow cylinder. The other end of the fixing column abuts against the inner wall of the base 2, and the extended end of the cylinder is sealed. In one embodiment, the first connecting member and the turntable 1 are connected by injection molding, and the second connecting member and the base 2 are also connected by injection molding. The inner wall of the second sleeve 22 is also provided with an internal thread.
[0029] A reset mechanism 3 is provided between the first connecting member and the second connecting member. The reset mechanism 3 is an elastic element, preferably a spring, through which the turntable 1 and the base 2 are connected. Specifically, the two ends of the spring are respectively screwed into the first sleeve 17 and the center hole 18 of the first connecting member and the connecting hole 21 and the second sleeve 22 of the second connecting member, so that when the pet turns the small toy on the turntable 1 or the turntable 1 itself, the entire turntable 1 shakes while the base 2 remains relatively motionless.
[0030] In order to further ensure that the turntable 1 shakes while the base 2 remains stationary, and to prevent the pet from detaching the spring from the base 2 or the turntable 1 during play, a positioning pin 4 is provided on the inner wall of the center hole 18 of the first connecting member and the second sleeve 22 of the second connecting member. Figure 6 As shown, there are four locating pins 4, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the inner wall of the center hole 18 and the second sleeve 22. Specifically, four locating pins 4 are arranged circumferentially on the inner wall of the end of the center hole 18 of the first connecting member away from the first sleeve 17. Similarly, four locating pins 4 are arranged circumferentially on the bottom wall of the end of the second sleeve 22 away from the connecting hole 21. Then, when installing the spring, one end of the spring is screwed into the first sleeve 17 and the center hole 18 of the first connecting member and the end of the spring is sleeved on the locating pin 4 in the center hole 18. Similarly, the other end of the spring is screwed into the connecting hole 21 and the second sleeve 22 of the second connecting member and the end of the spring is sleeved on the locating pin 4 in the second sleeve 22, so as to further fix the spring.
[0031] In another embodiment, the first connecting member of the connecting device and the turntable 1 are connected by a pin. Specifically, three fixing holes are evenly arranged on the inner side of the lower annular shell 12 in the circumferential direction, and three cams are evenly arranged at intervals on the circumference of the connecting block. When connected, the cams are inserted into the fixing holes to fix the first connecting member and the turntable 1. Similarly, the second connecting member and the base 2 are abutted. Specifically, three cams are arranged on the circumferential surface of the second fixed sleeve, and the other end of the cams abuts against the inner wall of the base 2.
[0032] When assembling the entire spring amusement park, first put the rolling ball 14 into the lower annular shell 12 of the turntable 1, then clamp and fix the upper annular shell 11 and the lower annular shell 12, and then fix the first connecting member and the second connecting member to the turntable 1 and the base 2 respectively. Specifically, when it is an integrated injection molding, the spring is directly screwed into the first connecting member and the second connecting member; when it is a latch connection, first plug and fix the first connecting member and the lower annular shell 12 of the turntable 1, then clamp the upper annular shell 11 on the lower annular shell 12, and then weld or melt the second sleeve 22 of the second connecting member to the inner wall of the top wall of the base 2, and then abut and fix the connecting column on the second sleeve 22 to the base 2, and finally screw the two ends of the spring into the first sleeve 17 and the center hole 18 on the first connecting member and the connecting hole 21 and the second sleeve 22 of the second connecting member respectively, and finally plug the pet toy into the connecting plate of the first connecting member.
[0033] In the initial state, the turntable and the base are coaxially arranged, and the turntable is located directly above the base. When the pet interacts with the spring amusement disk, taking a cat as an example, the cat moves the ball in the turntable. After the turntable is subjected to the force applied by the cat when moving the ball, the turntable begins to shake around the central axis of the turntable and the base. At this time, the shaking turntable causes the ball in the inner cavity of the turntable to roll in the turntable. Since the turntable is provided with hollow holes, the ball rolls between the hollow holes and the non-hollow annular casing. The looming rolling state increases the fun of the cat in playing. When the cat stops interacting with the spring amusement disk, under the action of the spring of the reset device, the swing amplitude of the turntable gradually decreases, and finally stops shaking and returns to the initial position.
[0034] The above-mentioned embodiments only express the specific implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.
