Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] There are many types of pet toys. Common ones include cat toys, which often use cat teasers and other amusing objects to attract pets. For example, the Chinese patent application with authorization number: CN206005529U, entitled "A Replaceable Rotating Cat Stand Accessory", has the disadvantage that the amusing object can only be moved by the pet passively moving it, which makes it less playable. In addition, when the toy is placed, it is easy to fall over due to the pet's fiddling with it, and its stability is relatively poor. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a pet toy that solves the problem that existing pet toys have relatively poor playability and stability.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a pet toy, including a shell and a suction cup arranged at the bottom of the shell, the shell is provided with a rotating lifting mechanism and a rotating drive mechanism, the rotating lifting mechanism is connected to the suction cup, and is used to drive the suction cup to rise and fall so that the suction cup is adsorbed on the corresponding carrier, and the shell is provided with a funny object driven to rotate by the rotating drive mechanism.

[0005] Furthermore, the rotary lifting mechanism includes a lifting column, a stop ring and a guide ring. The stop ring is rotatably assembled on the guide ring. The lifting column and the stop ring are key-connected. The guide ring is provided with a spirally rising guide slope. The lower end of the lifting column is connected to the center of the suction cup. The upper end of the lifting column is fixed with a guide foot that can be slidably arranged on the guide slope. The guide ring is connected to the shell. When the guide ring rotates, the guide slope contacts the guide foot, thereby driving the lifting column to move, causing the center of the suction cup to rise and generating negative pressure suction between it and the carrier.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, by rotating the outer shell or the guide ring, the lifting column can be driven to move vertically to cause the suction cup to generate suction. This design can conveniently install the product on the carrier, and the suction cup has high adsorption stability.

[0007] Furthermore, the anti-rotation ring is arranged between the guide ring and the suction cup, the guide ring is provided with a ring platform, the guide inclined surface is correspondingly arranged on the inner wall of the ring platform, and the lifting column is correspondingly arranged inside the ring platform.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the arrangement of the changing table is convenient for setting the guiding inclined plane and also for the lifting column to pass through the guiding inclined plane.

[0009] Furthermore, the guide ring is provided with an arc hole along its circumference, and the stop ring includes a cover plate provided at the upper end of the guide ring and a base plate provided at the lower end of the guide ring, the two being connected by fasteners, and the fasteners slide correspondingly through the arc hole.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up the arc-shaped hole, the base plate and the cover plate can still rotate relative to the guide ring after being assembled by fasteners, ensuring that the stop ring and the guide ring can rotate relative to each other after being connected. At the same time, the arc-shaped hole has a certain movement stroke, which also avoids the situation where the rotation range between the stop ring and the guide ring is too large, causing the guide foot to detach from the guide slope.

[0011] Furthermore, a connecting seat is provided at the bottom of the lifting column, which is connected to the suction cup. An elastic reset member is connected between the connecting seat and the guide foot, and the elastic reset member is used to reset the lifting column after it rises.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the elastic reset member, it is convenient for the auxiliary lifting column to descend.

[0013] Furthermore, a locking groove is provided at the end of the guiding slope to accommodate the guiding foot when the guiding foot slides to the extreme position along the guiding slope.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and setting the locking groove, the lifting column is limited when it rises to the maximum stroke to prevent it from accidentally falling along the guiding slope, so as to maintain stable suction of the suction cup.

[0015] Furthermore, the rotation drive mechanism includes a motor and a gear reducer arranged in the housing, and the motor drives the funny object to rotate through the gear reducer.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the gear reduction mechanism can reduce the speed of the motor to prevent the motor from rotating too fast and affecting the pet's play.

[0017] Furthermore, the amusing object includes a rotating rod and an amusing rod, the rotating rod is driven to rotate by a gear reducer, and the amusing rod is installed on the rotating rod.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, objects such as feathers or ribbons that attract pets can be set on the fun rod to increase the fun of the product.

[0019] Furthermore, an elastic member is provided between the funny rod and the rotating rod.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the elastic member can prevent the fun rod and the rotating rod from being damaged by excessive bending. At the same time, the elastic deformation of the elastic member can also create a certain angle between the fun rod and the rotating rod, and then during the rotation of the rotating rod, the fun rod forms a regular or irregular motion trajectory, effectively improving the fun of pets playing with it.

[0021] Furthermore, the rotary drive mechanism also includes a thermal sensing switch, which is connected to the motor to start the motor when it detects that a pet is approaching.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the thermal induction switch is used to detect whether the pet is near the toy, and then automatically start the motor to drive the funny object to move through the operation of the motor and thus attract the pet.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are:

[0024] 1. In the present invention, the amusing object is driven to rotate by a rotary drive mechanism, and then the rotating amusing object actively attracts the pet, which greatly enhances the attractiveness of the product to the pet; after the rotary lifting mechanism drives the suction cup to generate suction between the suction cup and the corresponding carrier, the product can be stably installed on different carriers, such as tables, floors or walls. The installation scenarios are rich, which enhances the diversity and convenience of installation and use. After the suction cup is fixed, the stability of the toy is relatively higher, and it is not easy to fall over and break, and it is relatively safer than existing products.

[0036] The present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 、 2 , 4 and 7, the pet toy includes a shell and a suction cup 210, the shell includes an outer shell 240 and an upper cover 230 provided on the upper end of the outer shell 240, an upper cavity 241 and a lower cavity 242 are formed inside the outer shell 240, a rotary drive mechanism is provided in the upper cavity 241, an amusing object is rotatably provided on the upper cover 230, the amusing object is driven to rotate by the rotary drive mechanism, and the rotating amusing object can attract the pet, and a rotary lifting mechanism is provided in the lower cavity 242, the rotary lifting mechanism is connected to the suction cup 210, and can drive the suction cup 210 to partially rise or fall, and then after the suction cup 210 is attached to the carrier, the local rise of the suction cup 210 is used to generate negative pressure between it and the carrier, and then the entire product is fixed to the corresponding carrier through the suction cup 210.

[0038] In this embodiment, the carrier may be a desktop or a wall, or other flat surface that can allow the suction cup 210 to be installed.

[0039] In this embodiment, the rotary lifting mechanism includes a lifting column 130, a stop ring and a guide ring 110. The stop ring is rotatably assembled on the guide ring 110. The lifting column 130 and the stop ring are key-connected. The guide ring 110 is provided with a spirally raised guide slope 111. The lower end of the lifting column 130 is connected to the center of the suction cup 210. The upper end of the lifting column 130 is provided with a guide foot 1301. The guide foot 1301 is slidably arranged on the guide slope 111. The guide ring 110 is connected to the shell, so that when the shell 240 rotates, it will drive the guide ring 110. When the guide ring 110 rotates, it squeezes the guide foot 1301 to slide along its spirally rising guide slope 111, and then uses the spiral cooperation between the guide foot 1301 and the guide slope 111 to drive the lifting column 130 to rise (due to the key connection between the anti-rotation ring and the lifting column 130, when the above-mentioned spiral cooperation occurs, the movement direction of the lifting column 130 is limited to its axial direction, that is, vertical lifting displacement). When the lifting column 130 rises, it drives the center of the suction cup 210 to rise, and then the suction cup 210 is adsorbed on the corresponding carrier.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and 5 In this embodiment, the key connection between the lifting column 130 and the stop ring is as follows: the cross-section of the lifting column 130 is a non-circular structure, and the center of the corresponding stop ring is provided with a non-circular hole that matches it. In this way, when the lifting column 130 is inserted into the non-circular hole of the stop ring, the movement direction of the two will be restricted to the circumferential direction of the two, and circumferential rotation will occur. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the lifting column 130 is a waist-shaped hole.

[0041] In this embodiment, the anti-rotation ring is arranged between the guide ring 110 and the suction cup 210. A raised ring platform is provided at the upper end of the guide ring 110. The interior of the ring platform is hollow, and its inner wall forms the above-mentioned guide inclined surface 111. The lifting column 130 is correspondingly passed through the hollow interior of the ring platform. A connecting seat 132 is provided at the lower end of the lifting column 130, and a seat groove is provided at the center position of the corresponding suction cup 210. The lifting column 130 is fixed in the seat groove through the connecting table to realize the connection between the lifting column 130 and the suction cup 210. Of course, the lifting column 130 can also be integrally formed with the suction cup 210.

[0042] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In the figure, as a rotatable assembly method between the stop ring and the guide ring 110, the guide ring 110 is provided with an arc hole 1101 on the outer periphery of the ring platform, and the stop ring includes a cover plate 221 provided at the upper end of the guide ring 110 and a base plate 220 provided at the lower end of the guide ring 110, and the two are connected by fasteners, and the fasteners slide correspondingly through the arc hole 1101. When the guide ring 110 rotates with the outer shell 240, its fasteners slide correspondingly in the arc hole 1101, that is, it will not drive the stop ring to rotate. If the stop ring does not rotate, it can utilize the key cooperation between it and the lifting column 130 to limit the moving direction of the lifting column 130 to vertical lifting.

[0043] In this embodiment, in order to further limit the volume of the product and optimize the adsorption effect of the suction cup 210, a hollow groove can be opened at the bottom of the base plate 220, so that the center position of the suction cup 210 can be deformed and raised and enter the hollow groove under the pull of the lifting column 130. The periphery of the base plate 220 is flush with the periphery of the suction cup 210. In this way, when the lifting column 130 rises to drive the center of the suction cup 210 to rise, the periphery of the suction cup 210 will be restricted by the periphery of the base plate 220, thereby making the center of the suction cup 210 rise locally instead of rising as a whole, thereby improving the feasibility and stability of the suction cup 210 when adsorbed on the carrier.

[0044] In this embodiment, the fasteners can adopt the existing conventional screw fastening method. A stud 2201 can be set on the upper end surface of the base plate 220, and a stud 2201 is also provided at the corresponding position on the cover plate 221. A screw hole is formed inside the stud 2201. In this way, the cover plate 221 and the base plate 220 can be fastened to the guide ring 110 by passing a screw through the two studs 2201.

[0045] Based on the above embodiment, the connection method between the guide ring 110 and the shell 240 can adopt the above-mentioned stud 2201 structure, that is, a stud 2201 is set on the shell 240, and a corresponding stud 2201 is set at the corresponding position of the corresponding guide ring 110, and the two are fastened together by screws.

[0046] Furthermore, in order to reduce the volume of the stop ring and the guide ring after assembly, a ring groove can be opened on the guide ring 110, and then the cover plate 221 adapted to the shape of the ring groove can be hidden and embedded in the ring groove, thereby reducing the volume of the product after assembly and improving the product precision.

[0047] In this embodiment, in order to improve the stability of the suction cup 210 adsorbed on the carrier, that is, to ensure the suction force of the suction cup 210 when the lifting column 130 rises to the maximum moving position, a locking groove 1110 can be provided at the end of the guide slope 111. When the guide ring 110 rotates to make the guide foot 1301 rise relatively to the highest position along the guide slope 111, its guide foot 1301 is correspondingly embedded in the locking groove 1110, and then the entire lifting rod and the guide ring 110 can be relatively locked to improve the stability of the suction cup 210 adsorbed on the carrier.

[0048] In this embodiment, the connection between the locking groove 1110 and the guiding slope 111 is smoothly matched. In this way, when the guide ring 110 rotates in the opposite direction to cause the lifting column 130 to fall, the guide foot 1301 can be smoothly disengaged from the locking groove 1110 (the reverse direction in this embodiment refers to the direction opposite to the direction in which the guide ring 110 rotates to drive the lifting column 130 to rise).

[0049] Further, refer to Figure 5In order to facilitate the reverse rotation of the guide ring 110 to lower the height of the lifting rod and thus release the suction of the suction cup 210, an elastic reset member 131 is also provided on the outside of the lifting rod, and the elastic reset member 131 can be a spring, the upper end of the spring can abut on the guide foot 1301, or abut on the lower end surface of the stop ring, and the elastic lower end abuts on the connecting seat 132. In this way, when the guide ring 110 rotates in the reverse direction to allow the guide foot 1301 to fall, its spring is released from the compressed state, and then uses its elastic reset force to squeeze the lifting rod down, thereby releasing the suction cup 210. Of course, since the suction cup 210 itself is mostly made of rubber or elastic plastic, it has a certain elastic reset ability. The elastic reset member 131 can not only actively help the suction cup 210 to reset, but also play an auxiliary reset role.

[0050] Based on the above embodiment, the rotation drive mechanism includes a motor 310 and a gear reducer arranged in the shell. The motor 310 drives the funny object to rotate through the gear reducer. The specific funny object includes a rotating rod 341 and a funny rod. The rotating rod 341 is driven to rotate by the gear reducer. The funny rod is installed on the rotating rod 341. The funny rod is preferably made of a material with certain elastic bending properties, such as a metal or elastic plastic rod. Feathers or ribbons or other funny items to attract pets can be set on the top of the funny rod. In this way, when the pet plays with it, the elastic funny rod can bend elastically and will not hurt the pet. At the same time, it also prevents the funny rod from being bent and broken.

[0051] Based on the above embodiments, in order to further enhance the fun of pets playing with the rod, and to enhance the bending resistance of the rod, and to prevent the rod from breaking due to the violent pulling of the animal, an elastic member 350 can be added between the rod and the rotating rod 341. The elastic member 350 can be a spring, a torsion spring, a tension spring, an elastic rubber, or other components or structures with a certain elastic force. By setting the elastic member 350, the bending angle between the rod and the rotating rod 341 can be increased. At the same time, due to the presence of the elastic member 350, when the rotating rod 341 rotates, the pet will pull the rod, causing the rod and the rotating rod 341 to bend through the elastic member 350 to form a certain angle. In this way, when the rotating rod 341 drives the rod to rotate, the motion trajectory will be non-directional, which greatly enhances the pet's interest in playing.

[0052] Furthermore, the fun rod can be an integrated rod structure or a split rod, that is, it includes a connecting rod 360 and an elastic rod 370. The elastic rod 370 is connected to the elastic part 350 through the connecting rod 360, and the elastic rod 370 is plugged into the connecting rod 360. In this way, the elastic rod 370 can be removed from the connecting rod 360 according to different usage needs, and the user can hold the elastic rod 370 to play teasing games with the pet.

[0053] Based on the above embodiment, in order to further improve the intelligence level of the product, the rotary drive mechanism is provided with a thermal sensor, and the thermal sensor switch is connected to the rotary drive mechanism to control the start or shut down of the rotary drive mechanism. In this way, when the pet approaches the product, the thermal sensor switch detects the arrival of the pet and starts the rotary drive mechanism to drive the rotating rod 341 to rotate and then drive the funny object to rotate to attract the pet to play with it.

[0054] Based on the above embodiment, the rotation drive mechanism includes a motor 310 and a gear reducer. The motor 310 drives the rotating rod 341 to rotate through the gear reducer. As a form of the gear reducer, the gear reducer includes a driving tooth, an intermediate tooth 330 and an output gear 340. The driving tooth can be directly connected to the output end of the motor 310 or indirectly connected to the output end of the motor 310 through a belt or chain. Figure 6 When belt drive is adopted, its driving teeth include a driving wheel 320 connected to the belt and a ring gear 321 coaxially connected to the driving wheel 320. The ring gear 321 is engaged with the output gear 340 through the intermediate teeth 330. A rotating rod 341 is set at the center of the output gear 340, and then the rotating rod 341 is driven to rotate during the rotation of the output teeth.

[0055] In this embodiment, two coaxially arranged gears are provided on the intermediate gear 330, so that the intermediate gear 330 can engage with the ring gear 321 and the output gear 340 respectively through the two gears. The corresponding three gears can be installed on the upper cover 230 by rotating the shaft, or a fixed plate can be added to the upper cover 230 or the outer shell 240, and the driving gear, intermediate gear 330 and output gear 340 can be installed on the fixed plate by rotating the shaft.

[0056] In this embodiment, the gear reducer is used to reduce the rotation speed of the rotating rod 341 to prevent the motor 310 from rotating too fast, which would drive the funny object on the rotating rod 341 to rotate too fast and affect the pet's interest in playing. Of course, the gear reducer can also be omitted, and the rotating rod 341 can be driven to rotate only by the reduction motor 310.

[0057] Based on the above embodiment, refer to Figure 3 In order to prevent the rotating rod 341 from swinging abnormally and having an excessively large arc, a stop switch can be set on one side of the rotating rod 241 to automatically turn off the power supply when the rotating rod 341 swings abnormally, thereby improving the intelligence of the product.

[0058] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, it should be clearly understood that various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
