Detailed implementation manners

[0029] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other. Now, in conjunction with the drawings, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0030] An embodiment of the present invention provides a base module 1000, as Figures 1-3 shown, the base module 1000 includes: a connection component 100, a support rod 200, and a base 300. The connection component 100 includes a first connecting piece 101 and a second connecting piece 102. The first connecting piece 101 is provided with a first connecting pipe 1011 and an anti-disengagement hook 1012 located at one end of the first connecting pipe 1011. The second connecting piece 102 is provided with a limit groove 10211 that cooperates with the anti-disengagement hook 1012. A baffle 1023 is provided on the limit groove 10211 for limiting the anti-disengagement hook 1012. The support rod 200 is connected to the first connecting pipe 1011. The second connecting piece 102 is disposed on the base 300.

[0031] The support rod 200 and the base 300 are connected by the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102 in the connecting assembly 100. An anti-disengagement hook 1012 is provided on the first connecting member 101, and a limiting groove 10211 is correspondingly provided on the second connecting member 102 for horizontally limiting the anti-disengagement hook 1012. At the same time, a baffle 1023 is provided on the limiting groove 10211 for vertically limiting the anti-disengagement hook 1012 after the anti-disengagement hook 1012 rotates to a proper position. During actual use, the anti-disengagement hook 1012 is placed into the limiting groove 10211, and the anti-disengagement hook 1012 is rotated to a position where it is vertically limited by the baffle 1023 through the rotation of the first connecting member 101 relative to the second connecting member 102. At this time, the connection and limitation between the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102 are completed, so that the second connecting member 102 and the first connecting member 101 will not be disengaged and displaced due to shaking, thereby improving the connection stability and firmness of the base module 1000. In pet supplies, for example, in the actual use of the cat tree 2000, pet cats often use the cat tree 2000 by jumping and scratching. Therefore, the base module 1000 can improve the stability of the cat tree 2000 to a certain extent, avoid moving up and down in the vertical direction and slipping off, and improve the stability and safety of the cat tree 2000.

[0032] Specifically, the anti-disengagement hook 1012 on the first connecting member 101 cooperates with the limiting groove 10211 and the baffle 1023 on the second connecting member 102 for fixing and limiting. On the one hand, it can provide a stable connection method between the connecting assemblies 100, prevent the connecting assemblies 100 from loosening or falling off during use, thereby enhancing the stability and safety of the base module 1000. On the other hand, the design of the anti-disengagement hook 1012 and the limiting groove 10211 helps to ensure the correct and rapid positioning and installation between the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102, improving the installation convenience of the base module 1000.

[0033] Specifically, the support rod 200 is connected to the first connecting pipe 1011, which can ensure the firmness and stability of the connection between the support rod 200 and the first connecting member 101, enable the base module 1000 to bear a certain weight or external force, and at the same time maintain the structural integrity. The second connecting member 102 is provided on the base 300, enabling the base 300 to be quickly connected to the support rod 200 through the second connecting member 102, making the base module 1000 easier to install and use.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 , a first tray 1013 is further provided on the first connecting member 101. The first connecting pipe 1011 and the anti-disengagement hook 1012 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the first tray 1013, and the diameter of the first tray 1013 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the first connecting pipe 1011.

[0035] On the one hand, the first tray 1013 enables the first connecting tube 1011 and the anti-disconnection hook 1012 to be stably arranged on opposite sides thereof, which helps to disperse the pressure on the first connecting member 101, reduce local stress, and thus increase the stability and safety of the connecting assembly 100. On the other hand, the first tray 1013 can provide a larger supporting area for the support rod 200 and the second connecting member 102, so that the contact area between the first connecting member 101 and the support rod 200, and between the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102 is increased, thereby enhancing the connection stability between the first connecting member 101 and the support rod 200, and between the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102.

[0036] Specifically, the first connecting pipe 1011 and the anti-disconnection hook 1012 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the first tray 1013. This layout can make them independent of each other, avoid mutual interference or collision, and also facilitate installation and disassembly. Such a design can improve the use efficiency and convenience of the connector.

[0037] Specifically, the diameter of the first tray 1013 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the first connecting tube 1011, so the first connecting tube 1011 can be completely placed in the first tray 1013, which helps the first connecting tube 1011 to remain stable on the first tray 1013 when connected to the support rod 200, and avoids movement or shaking between the first connecting tube 1011 and the support rod 200. This design can improve the fixity and reliability of the first connecting tube 1011 and ensure the stability of the connection.

[0038] refer to Figure 3 The anti-disconnection hook 1012 includes a connecting portion 10121 and a clamping portion 10122 that are connected to each other. The connecting portion 10121 and the clamping portion 10122 are in an "L"-shaped structure. The clamping portion 10122 abuts against the baffle 1023 in the limiting groove 10211.

[0039] The connecting portion 10121 and the clamping portion 10122 are in an "L"-shaped structure, so that when the protruding clamping portion 10122 is accommodated in the limiting groove 10211, it can abut against the baffle 1023 provided on the limiting groove 10211, and can limit the moving range of the anti-detachment hook 1012, ensuring that the anti-detachment hook 1012 is limited by the accommodating groove and the baffle 1023 at the correct position, so that the second connecting member 102 can limit the clamping portion 10122 in the vertical direction. It is helpful to prevent the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102 from accidentally detaching during use, increase the stability and safety of the base module 1000, and enhance the reliability of the base module 1000.

[0040] In an alternative embodiment of the present utility model, there are two anti - decoupling hooks 1012, and the orientations of the two engaging portions 10122 are opposite to each other. There are two limiting grooves 10211 corresponding to the anti - decoupling hooks 1012.

[0041] Setting two anti - decoupling hooks 1012 can effectively improve the stability and firmness of the connection between the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102, provide more guarantees for their connection, and increase the stability and security of the connection. If one anti - decoupling hook 1012 has a problem or fails, the other can still maintain the connection between the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102 to a certain extent, avoiding accidental detachment. Thus, the reliability of the base module 1000 is further improved, and the risk of accidental detachment is reduced.

[0042] At the same time, the engaging portions 10122 of the two anti - decoupling hooks 1012 are arranged in opposite directions, which can increase the stability of the first connecting member 101. The two engaging portions 10122 arranged in opposite directions can ensure that the first connecting member 101 is supported in different directions, reducing the instability caused by different directions.

[0043] Specifically, there are also two limiting grooves 10211 corresponding to the anti - decoupling hooks 1012, which means that each anti - decoupling hook 1012 has a corresponding limiting groove 10211 to ensure the stability of the connection, can improve the limiting effect on each anti - decoupling hook 1012, provide additional support and fixation for the first connecting member 101, and increase the stability of the connection between the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 , a through - hole 1021 is provided in the second connecting member 102, and a partition plate 1022 is arranged in the through - hole 1021 to divide the through - hole 1021 into two limiting grooves 10211. A baffle 1023 is arranged on the side of the limiting groove 10211 facing the first connecting member 101. There is a certain distance between the baffle 1023 and the partition plate 1022, and the arc length of the distance is greater than or equal to the arc length of the engaging portion 10122.

[0045] Setting the partition plate 1022 in the through - hole 1021 effectively divides the through - hole 1021 into two limiting grooves 10211 corresponding to the two anti - decoupling hooks 1012. The two limiting grooves 10211 are respectively connected and matched with one anti - decoupling hook 1012, which can more accurately position and fix the first connecting member 101. The baffle 1023 is arranged on the side of the limiting groove 10211 facing the first connecting member 101, which can provide vertical limiting for the anti - decoupling hook 1012 to prevent the first connecting member 101 from accidentally detaching. The settings of the partition plate 1022 and the baffle 1023 help to increase the stability and reliability of the connection between the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102.

[0046] Specifically, the arc length of the spacing is greater than or equal to the arc length of the clamping portion 10122. The arc length of the spacing being greater than the arc length of the clamping portion 10122 can ensure that the clamping portion 10122 smoothly extends into the limiting groove 10211 through the spacing, ensuring the normal realization of the limiting function of the second connecting member 102 on the first connecting member 101.

[0047] In this embodiment, the arc length of the baffle 1023 is also greater than or equal to the arc length of the clamping portion 10122, so that the baffle can limit and block the entire clamping portion 10122, avoiding the situation of uneven force on the clamping portion 10122.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 , a limiting post 10221 is provided at the midpoint of the partition plate 1022, and an arc surface 101221 corresponding to the limiting post 10221 is provided on the inner side of the clamping portion 10122.

[0049] During actual use, it is necessary to twist and rotate the first connecting member 101 so that the anti - detachment hook 1012 provided on the first connecting member 101 rotates relative to the limiting groove 10211 to move to a suitable position, and the anti - detachment hook 1012 is limited and fixed by the limiting groove 10211 and the baffle 1023, thereby realizing the stable connection between the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102. Therefore, a limiting post 10221 is provided on the partition plate 1022, and an arc surface 101221 is provided on the inner side of the clamping portion 10122, so that when the anti - detachment hook 1012 rotates relative to the limiting groove 10211, through the cooperation between the arc surface 101221 and the limiting post 10221, the anti - detachment hook 1012 can always be kept in the correct position during the rotation process. On the other hand, providing a limiting post 10221 at the midpoint of the partition plate 1022 can provide additional support for the partition plate 1022, and can enhance the overall structural strength and stability of the second connecting member 102.

[0050] Specifically, an arc surface 101221 corresponding to the limiting post 10221 is provided on the inner side of the clamping portion 10122, which can ensure good cooperation between the clamping portion 10122 and the limiting post 10221. It can make the arc surface 101221 slide or rotate relative to the limiting post 10221 conveniently and quickly, so as to more easily rotate the anti - detachment hook 1012 to the correct position.

[0051] Specifically, on the one hand, the limiting post 10221 can facilitate the rotation of the arc surface 101221, simplifying the connection and installation between the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102. On the other hand, the limiting post 10221 can limit and position the clamping portion 10122 to a certain extent to ensure that the clamping portion 10122 is in the correct position, prevent it from deviating from the correct position during rotation, and ensure the stability and reliability of the connection between the anti-disengagement hook 1012 and the limiting groove 10211.

[0052] Reference Figure 3 , a plurality of anti-slip ribs 10111 are uniformly arranged at intervals along the radial direction of the outer wall of the first connecting pipe 1011.

[0053] The anti-slip ribs 10111 are used to increase the friction between the outer surface of the first connecting pipe 1011 and the support rod 200. Prevent the first connecting pipe 1011 from accidentally sliding or moving during use, and improve the stability and safety of the connection between the first connecting pipe 1011 and the support rod 200. By increasing the friction on the outer surface of the first connecting pipe 1011, the position of the support rod 200 relative to the first connecting pipe 1011 can be stabilized, avoiding unnecessary torsion or movement.

[0054] Specifically, by uniformly arranging the anti-slip ribs 10111 on the outer wall of the first connecting pipe 1011, the stability and safety of the entire base module 1000 can be increased, and the risk of accidental detachment or loosening of the first connecting pipe 1011 and the first connecting pipe 1011 can be reduced. The reliability of the connection between the two is increased, ensuring that the base module 1000 remains stable during use.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 , the second connecting member 102 is provided with a connection hole 1024 penetrating the second connecting member 102, and a positioning post 1025 provided on the side of the second connecting member facing the base 300.

[0056] The connection hole 1024 is used to install the second connecting member 102 on the base 300 by cooperating with other connecting members. Through the connection hole 1024, a reliable connection between the second connecting member 102 and the base 300 can be achieved. The positioning post 1025 is used to directly connect with the base 300, and at the same time can provide additional positioning and support between the positioning post 1025 and the base 300, helping to ensure that the connection between the second connecting member 102 and the base 300 is in the correct position. The positioning post 1025 and the connection hole 1024 enhance the stability and accuracy of the connection between the second connecting member 102 and the base 300.

[0057] Specifically, the positioning post 1025 can assist the second connecting member 102 in achieving precise positioning when connecting to the base 300. The positioning post 1025 can cooperate with the corresponding structure on the base 300 when the second connecting member 102 is installed on the base 300, which helps to simplify the assembly process and improve the accuracy of the connection.

[0058] It should be noted that the positioning post 1025 can be set as a flat-headed cylindrical shape or a conical head.

[0059] Reference Figure 2 , one side of the baffle 1023 facing the limiting groove 10211 is a slope surface 10231 to improve the limiting degree of the first connecting member 101 when the first connecting member 101 rotates; or, a clamping protrusion is provided on one of the opposite side surfaces of the baffle 1023 and the clamping portion 10122, and a clamping groove is provided on the other, so that when the first connecting member is clamped with the second connecting member, the clamping protrusion can be clamped into the clamping groove.

[0060] The design of the slope surface 10231 can improve the limiting degree of the first connecting member 101 when it rotates. When the first connecting member 101 is subjected to a rotational force, the slope surface 10231, due to its gradually inclined structure, will exert a resistance on it, thereby enhancing the limiting effect. On the one hand, the slope surface 10231 helps to ensure that the first connecting member 101 remains in the correct position during rotation and avoids exceeding the predetermined limiting range. On the other hand, during and after the rotation of the first connecting member 101, the baffle 1023 can provide an increasingly strong limiting effect on the first connecting member 101 in the vertical direction.

[0061] Specifically, the slope surface 10231 can increase the limiting force on the first connecting member 101, thereby improving the stability when the first connecting member 101 is connected to the second connecting member 102. The slope surface 10231 can gradually increase the frictional force and limiting ability on the first connecting member 101, prevent the first connecting member 101 from generating excessive swing or offset during rotation, and ensure that the connecting member maintains a stable position.

[0062] Another solution is to provide one of a clamping protrusion or a clamping groove on the side of the baffle 1023 facing the clamping portion 10122, and provide the other of the clamping groove or the clamping protrusion on the side of the clamping portion 10122 facing the baffle. When the first connecting member 101 rotates relative to the second connecting member 102, the clamping groove can be matched with the clamping protrusion, so as to provide a better connection and limiting effect on the connection between the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102 through the connection and cooperation of the clamping groove and the clamping protrusion, making the connection between the first limiting member 101 and the second connecting member 102 more stable and firm.

[0063] In an alternative embodiment of the present utility model, reference Figure 5When the diameter of the first tray 1013 is equal to the diameter of the first connecting pipe 1011, a protective cover 1014 extends from the first connecting pipe 1011 toward the anti - decoupling hook 1012. When the anti - decoupling hook 1012 is connected to the limiting groove 10211 in a matching manner, the second connecting member 102 is accommodated within the protective cover 1014.

[0064] A protective cover 1014 is provided on the first connecting member 101 toward the anti - decoupling hook 1012, and the anti - decoupling hook 1012 on the first connecting member 101 can be accommodated within the protective cover 1014. During actual use, after the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102 are connected, the protective cover 1014 on the first connecting pipe 1011 toward the anti - decoupling hook 1012 can completely accommodate the second connecting member 102 within the protective cover 1014. This can effectively prevent the accidental detachment or loosening of the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102 during the connection process, improving the stability and safety of the connection.

[0065] Specifically, the protective cover 1014 can effectively protect the anti - decoupling hook 1012 of the first connecting member 101 and the second connecting member 102 from the influence of the external environment, extending the service life of the connecting members. When the anti - decoupling hook 1012 is connected to the limiting groove 10211 in a matching manner and the second connecting member 102 is accommodated within the protective cover 1014, the protective cover 1014 can play a role in positioning and guiding the second connecting member 102, ensuring that the second connecting member 102 is correctly and stably connected to the first connecting member 101.

[0066] On the other hand, the protective cover 1014 accommodating the second connecting member 102 therein can enhance the aesthetic appearance of the base module 1000, making the overall structure cleaner and more beautiful.

[0067] Furthermore, referring to Figure 6 , the base module 1000 further includes a third connecting member 400. When the third connecting member 400 is connected to the second connecting member 102, the second connecting member 102 can also be connected to the end of the support rod 200 away from the first connecting member 101 through the third connecting member 400. The third connecting member 400 includes a second tray 401 and a second connecting pipe 402 that are connected to each other. The second tray 401 is provided at one end of the second connecting pipe 402, and the second tray 401 is connected to the second connecting member 102.

[0068] In an embodiment where the second connector 102 is connected to the third connector 400, when the second connector 102 is connected to the first connector 101, it is necessary to insert the second connector 102 into the protective cover 1014 of the first connector 101 and connect the anti-disengagement hook 1012 to the limit groove 10211. Therefore, when the receiving groove is engaged with the anti-disengagement hook 1012, it has the effect of hiding the second connector 102. At the same time, the second connector 102 can be connected to the support rod 200 through the second connecting pipe 402 of the third connector 400, so that the second connector 102 can be connected to both the first connector 101 and the support rod 200 at the same time. This enables the connection between two adjacent support rods 200 to be achieved only by using the second connector 102 and the first connector 101, and the second connector 102 and the support rod 200 are connected through the third connector 400, reducing the installation parts and the installation cost.

[0069] Specifically, when the second connector 102 is disposed on the third connector 400 and connected to the first connector 101, the second tray 401 abuts against the edge of the protective cover 1014, which can further enhance the connection stability between the first connector 101 and the second connector 102, prevent the external environment from affecting the structure and connection of the first connector 101 and the second connector 102, and extend the service life of the base module 1000.

[0070] In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the second connector 102 and the third connector 400 are integrally formed, or the second connector 102 and the third connector 400 are snap-connected, adhesively connected or screw-connected.

[0071] Integrally forming the second connector 102 and the third connector 400 can provide higher strength and stability, reducing the risk of loosening or detachment between the second connector 102 and the third connector 400. At the same time, it can also simplify the overall structural design, reduce the number of components, and lower the assembly cost and complexity. The integrally formed second connector 102 and third connector 400 have better durability and structural strength and can withstand longer-term use.

[0072] The snap-connection method between the second connector 102 and the third connector 400 enables the second connector 102 and the third connector 400 to be relatively easily disassembled and replaced, facilitating maintenance and repair and saving time and labor costs. The snap-connection method can provide a certain degree of flexibility, facilitating adjustment or replacement when needed.

[0073] The adhesive connection can provide better sealing performance to prevent external substances such as dust and water vapor from entering the interior of the second connecting member 102 and the third connecting member 400. The adhesive connection can make the appearance of the second connecting member 102 and the third connecting member 400 more beautiful without damaging the overall design appearance of the base module 1000.

[0074] The screw connection usually has high firmness and stability, which can ensure the stability of the connection between the second connecting member 102 and the third connecting member 400. The screw connection is relatively easy to disassemble and replace, facilitating maintenance and repair.

[0075] Reference Figure 4 , the embodiment of the present invention also provides a cat tree 2000, which includes the main body of the cat tree 2000 and the base module 1000 in the foregoing embodiment; the main body of the cat tree 2000 is provided on the base module 1000.

[0076] This cat tree 2000 includes the same structure and beneficial effects as the base module 1000 in the foregoing embodiment. The structure and beneficial effects of the base module 1000 have been described in detail in the foregoing embodiment and will not be elaborated here.
