[0047] The pet ball is an interactive toy designed specifically for pets. The pet ball can effectively attract the attention of pets by rolling or bouncing, satisfying their playing and hunting instincts. The pet ball can help cats stay active and reduce the risk of obesity. For cats left alone at home, the pet ball can provide companionship and relieve anxiety. The process of exercise and chasing can also stimulate the instincts of cats and improve their intelligence. However, the existing pet balls have a single movement trajectory and are not attractive enough to pets.

[0048] To solve the problem that the existing pet ball 1 is not attractive enough, please refer to Figures 1 - 3, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a pet ball 1. The pet ball 1 includes a hollow housing 11. A bracket 12 and a gear cover 13 are arranged inside the housing 11. The bracket 12 is fixedly connected inside the housing 11. A rotating column 121 and a rotating hole 131 are respectively arranged on the bracket 12 and the gear cover 13. The rotating hole 131 is sleeved on the rotating column 121. A driving assembly 26 is further arranged inside the housing 11. The driving assembly 26 drives the gear cover 13 to rotate. The pet ball 1 further includes a movable member 21. A first avoidance hole 111 is arranged on the housing 11. The movable member 21 is connected to the gear cover 13, and at least part of the movable member 21 is exposed through the first avoidance hole 111.

[0049] In the present utility model, a motor 15 arranged inside the housing 11 drives the gear cover 13 to rotate inside the housing 11. At the same time, a movable member 21 extending outside the housing 11 is connected to the gear cover 13, so that the movable member 21 can rotate and / or swing. The pet ball 1 can attract the attention of pets through the moving movable member 21. Further, when the pet ball 1 is placed on the ground, the movable member 21 will rub against the ground during rotation, and the ground will give the pet ball 1 a reaction force, causing the pet ball 1 to also rotate or roll. Therefore, while the movable member 21 on the pet ball 1 rotates, the pet ball 1 itself will also rotate, and the movement trajectory of the movable member 21 becomes larger and more variable, improving the attraction ability of the pet ball 1 to pets.

[0050] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4 , a rotating column 121 and a rotating hole 131 are respectively arranged on the bracket 12 and the gear cover 13 in the pet ball 1. The rotating hole 131 is sleeved on the rotating column 121, and a rotating bearing 22 is arranged between the rotating column 121 and the rotating hole 131. The inner wall and the outer part of the rotating bearing 22 are respectively in close contact with the rotating column 121 and the rotating hole 131.

[0051] The gear cover 13 is connected to the bracket 12 through hole-shaft fit. When the gear cover 13 is driven by the gear assembly 20 to rotate, the gear cover 13 can rotate around the rotating column 121 of the bracket 12. At the same time, since a rotating bearing 22 is arranged at the connection between the bracket 12 and the gear cover 13, the friction between the bracket 12 and the gear cover 13 can be reduced to improve the transmission efficiency, and the relative rotation between the gear cover 13 and the bracket 12 can be made more stable, reducing the noise during the use of the pet ball 1.

[0052] Further, please refer to Figure 4 , the pet ball 1 further includes a pressing piece 23. The pressing piece 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating column 121 close to the gear cover 13. The rotating bearing 22 is located between the pressing piece 23 and the bracket 12, and the diameter of the pressing piece 23 is larger than the inner diameter of the rotating bearing 22.

[0053] When the gear cover 13 rotates relative to the bracket 12, the generated vibration may cause the rotating bearing 22 to move and disengage from the rotating column 121. By providing the pressing piece 23, the axial displacement of the rotating bearing 22 along the rotating column 121 can be restricted, enhancing the structural stability of the pet ball 1.

[0054] Specifically, a reinforcing rib 122 is provided on one side of the rotating column 121 close to the bracket 12, and the rotating bearing 22 is located between the reinforcing rib 122 and the pressing piece 23. By providing the reinforcing rib 122 on the rotating column 121, the strength of the rotating column 121 is enhanced, thereby extending the service life of the pet ball 1. At the same time, through the cooperation of the reinforcing rib 122 and the pressing piece 23, the axial displacement of the rotating bearing 22 in the axial direction of the rotating column 121 can be further restricted.

[0055] Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the driving assembly 26 includes a gear assembly 20 and a motor 15. The gear assembly 20 is drivingly connected to the motor 15 and the gear cover 13. The gear assembly 20 includes a first gear 201 and a second gear 202. The first gear 201 is sleeved on the output shaft of the motor 15, the second gear 202 is rotatably connected to the bracket 12, the first gear 201 and the second gear 202 are meshed, and the first gear 201 and the second gear 202 are disposed on one side of the bracket 12 close to the gear cover 13, and the second gear 202 and the gear cover 13 are meshed.

[0056] The first gear 201 and the second gear 202 transmit the rotation output by the motor 15 to the gear cover 13 through a two-stage transmission manner. The gear assembly 20 can control the rotation speed of the gear cover 13 to prevent the moving member 21 connected to the gear cover 13 from rotating too fast. At the same time, by providing the first gear 201 and the second gear 202 for transmission, the structure inside the pet ball 1 is more compact and the volume is smaller.

[0057] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a recess 132 is provided on one side of the gear cover 13 close to the bracket 12, and an annular internal tooth 133 is provided on the inner wall of the recess 132; at the same time, the diameter of the first gear 201 is smaller than the diameter of the second gear 202, and the diameter of the second gear 202 is smaller than the diameter of the gear cover 13. The first gear 201 and the second gear 202 are at least partially disposed in the recess 132, and the second gear 202 and the annular internal tooth 133 on the recess 132 are meshed. By setting the diameters of the first gear 201, the second gear 202 and the gear cover 13, the gear assembly 20 decelerates and drives the motor 15, and the gear assembly 20 is accommodated in the gear cover 13 to make the structure of the pet ball 1 more compact.

[0058] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4The motor 15 is arranged on the bracket 12, and the output shaft of the motor 15 passes through the bracket 12, and the output shaft of the motor 15 is exposed toward the gear cover 13; the motor 15 is fixed by the bracket 12, and the motor 15 passes through the bracket 12 and the gear cover 13 and is connected through the gear assembly 20 for transmission, which further reduces the volume of the pet ball 1.

[0059] Specifically, see Figure 7 The pet ball 1 further includes a connecting cover 18 , which is disposed in the first avoidance hole 111 and is detachably connected to the gear cover 13 , and the movable member 21 is connected to the connecting cover 18 .

[0060] Since the connection cover 18 is detachably connected to the gear cover 13 , the movable part 21 connected to the connection cover 18 can be easily replaced by removing the connection cover 18 , and more suction effects can be achieved by setting different movable parts 21 .

[0061] For further information, see Figure 2 The movable part 21 is set as a rope, and a fixing hole 181 is set on the connecting cover 18, and the rope is fixed on the connecting cover 18 through the fixing hole 181.

[0062] By setting the movable part 21 as a rope, the noise generated when the movable part 21 contacts external objects during rotation can be reduced. At the same time, since the rope is relatively soft, it will also deform and swing during rotation, further enhancing the attractiveness of the movable part 21 to the pet.

[0063] Optionally, the movable part 21 can also be set as a silicone tail, which is connected to the connecting cover 18. When the connecting cover 18 drives the silicone tail to swing, the silicone tail can imitate the movements of small animals to attract pets. At the same time, the silicone tail is more resilient and can withstand the bites of pets, thereby increasing the service life of the pet ball 1.

[0064] For details, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 The pet ball 1 also includes a limit member 16, which is arranged in the shell 11 and located between the gear cover 13 and the connecting cover 18; one side of the limit member 16 is fixedly connected to the gear cover 13, and the part of the limit member 16 away from the side of the gear cover 13 extends into the first avoidance hole 111, and the limit member 16 forms a limit groove 161 with the shell 11 in the first avoidance hole 111; the connecting cover 18 is clamped in the limit groove 161, and the connecting cover 18 is connected to the limit member 16.

[0065] The limiting member 16 can connect the gear cover 13 and the connection cover 18 so that the connection cover 18 can rotate synchronously with the gear cover 13 . Meanwhile, the limiting groove 161 on the limiting member 16 can make the assembly of the connection cover 18 more convenient.

[0066] Specifically, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 8 . The pet ball 1 further includes a key cap 19 and a control component 14. On one side of the housing 11 opposite to the first avoidance hole 111, a second avoidance hole 112 is provided. The key cap 19 is placed in the second avoidance hole 112 and detachably connected to the housing 11. The control component 14 is arranged in the housing 11, and the control component 14 is electrically connected to the motor 15. The control component 14 includes a key 24, and at least part of the key 24 is exposed through the second avoidance hole 112. Different modes can be set through the control component 14 to control the operation of the motor 15, enabling the movable member 21 to have more movement modes. At the same time, the key 24, which is concealed by the key cap 19, can prevent accidental touch during the use of the pet ball 1.

[0067] Further, please refer to Figure 8 . Threads are respectively provided on the outer surface of the key cap 19 and the inner wall of the second avoidance hole 112. The key cap 19 and the second avoidance hole 112 are connected by thread fit, so that the key cap 19 can be conveniently taken out of the second avoidance hole 112 when the user needs to use the key 24, and at the same time, the key cap 19 will not easily come out during the rotation of the pet ball 1.

[0068] Specifically, please refer to Figure 5 . The pet ball 1 further includes an audio playback component 25. The audio playback component 25 is arranged in the housing 11 and is electrically connected to the control component 14. Optionally, the pet ball 1 can also be provided with a lighting component. The lighting component is arranged in the housing 11 and is electrically connected to the control component 14. The key cap 19 is set as a light-transmitting member. Through the audio playback component 25 and the lighting component, the pet ball 1 can emit sound and light, further enhancing the attraction of the pet ball 1 to pets.

[0069] Specifically, please refer to Figure 9 . The housing 11 of the pet ball 1 is set as a sphere, and a rubber-coated shell sleeve 17 is provided on the housing 11, and bumps 171 are provided on the outer surface of the rubber-coated shell sleeve 17.

[0070] By setting the housing 11 as a sphere, the pet ball 1 can rotate more easily by itself during operation. At the same time, setting the rubber-coated shell sleeve 17 outside the housing 11 can reduce the noise generated when the pet ball 1 contacts the outside during operation. Further, by providing bumps 171 on the rubber-coated shell sleeve 17, the friction between the pet ball 1 and the outside is increased, preventing the pet ball 1 from having too large an activity range and being able to attract the pet within a certain area.

[0071] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1The shell 11 includes two separable semicircular shells, which are detachably connected by a plurality of threaded members, thereby improving the structural strength of the pet ball 1 and preventing the pet ball 1 from being damaged by biting and pressing the pet ball 1.

[0072] The pet ball 1 provided in the present embodiment is provided with a motor 15 in the shell 11, and the motor 15 is fixed in the shell 11 through a bracket 12; the output shaft of the motor 15 is connected to the gear cover 13 through a gear assembly 20, so that the motor 15 can drive the gear cover 13 to rotate, and at the same time, because the gear cover 13 is connected with a movable part 21, the movable part 21 is also driven to rotate or swing, and the pet ball 1 attracts the pet through the moving movable part 21; at the same time, when the pet ball 1 is placed on the bottom surface, the rotation of the movable part 21 will cause friction with the bottom surface, and the bottom surface will transmit a reaction force to the pet ball 1, and the reaction force will cause the pet ball 1 to rotate or roll, which makes not only the movable part 21 on the pet ball 1 rotate, but the pet ball 1 itself also rotates, further enhancing the attraction of the pet ball 1 to the pet.

[0073] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
