Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pet products, in particular to a small pet driving toy. Background Art
[0002] With the rise of the pet economy, the market for supplies for small pets, such as hamsters, is also expanding. Currently, products on the market are highly homogenized, lacking innovation and differentiation. Furthermore, they are often made of plastic or metal, resulting in poor environmental performance, low safety, and insufficient interactivity. As pet owners demand higher quality of life from their pets, they are increasingly seeking products that allow them to interact with and entertain their pets. However, products on the market often fail to fully meet this demand, resulting in a poor user experience. Furthermore, for pet retailers, older products, unable to meet new demand, are left in a backlog, hindering sales. For example, patent document CN 115517194A discloses a hamster wheel vehicle. The wheel vehicle comprises a support frame and a wheel body, which are rotatably connected to the support frame. The support frame includes a vehicle body and wheels. By combining the hamster wheel with a toy car body, with the toy car body serving as the rotational support for the wheel, owners can pull the toy car body around using a pull cord, thereby moving the hamster wheel with them. The rotation of the wheel drives the wheel body to a small extent. The operation in this patent document is cumbersome, and the pet needs to pull the toy car to move. If the pet does not operate it, the running wheel car can only be in an idle state, and the pet cannot move on its own, which reduces the fun. Utility Model Content

[0047] In this embodiment, the number of running wheel connecting plugs can be set in a variety of ways. For example, four can be set, each located at the diagonal corner of the quadrilateral. Of course, other numbers can also be set according to actual conditions.
[0048] In order to facilitate disassembly and assembly, in one embodiment, a wheel connection slot and a transmission wheel connection slot are also provided on the main board of the trolley. The wheel has a wheel connection plug 8 inserted into the wheel connection slot, and the transmission wheel has a transmission wheel connection plug inserted into the transmission wheel connection slot.
[0049] In one embodiment, the wheel connection plug has a long plug portion inserted into the wheel connection slot and an anti-slip portion limited on the vehicle main board and used to prevent the long plug portion from slipping out.
[0050] In this embodiment, the materials of each component can be various, for example, wood can be used, which is more environmentally friendly. In one embodiment, the main board of the trolley is made of 3mm wood. In this embodiment, a wooden mortise and tenon joint structure can be used to connect the components to ensure stability.
[0051] In this embodiment, the small pet driving toy is applied to small pet breeding, which satisfies the pet's interest in exploration, increases its activity, conforms to its natural behavior, and may also provide a new way of interaction, thereby increasing the fun of the toy.
[0052] Of course, the driving toy in this embodiment can be applied to the breeding of other small animals such as hamsters.
[0053] This embodiment utilizes renewable, non-toxic, laser-cut wood materials to ensure environmental friendliness and safety. Mortise and tenon joints and a modular design ensure the toy's stability, ease of assembly, and durability. This not only satisfies pets' curiosity for exploration but also enhances owner interaction.
