[0034] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the following will be combined with the accompanying drawings to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] The following combination Figures 1-11 The pet building of the present invention is described.

[0036] In order to facilitate a clearer understanding of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present application, some technical contents related to the various embodiments of the present application are first introduced.

[0037] Grasshopper is a visual programming plug-in based on the Rhinoceros software platform, primarily used for parametric and interactive design. Its features include automatic algorithmic generation of results and direct access to modified solutions through parameter adjustments. It is widely used in complex architectural design. Alternatively, other software such as nTopology, Hyperganic, 3-matic, Netfabb, and 3D-xpert can also be used for design.

[0038] In the pet housing sector, small rodents like hamsters and chinchillas are often kept in cages or enclosures. These products on the market are all fixed in size (including dating cages) and functionality, making them difficult to customize and lacking in space or functionality. Furthermore, due to limited space and inconvenience for running, running wheels are essential to ensure adequate exercise for the mice.

[0039] Existing pet structures are fixed spaces. If you add a new pet or find the existing space is too small, you can't expand beyond the original size and must purchase a similar structure in a larger size. Available pre-made pet structures are limited to a few standard sizes, with limited options, making it impossible to customize the structure to your desired size. Each individual pet structure can only be placed horizontally. If you want a larger space, it would take up a lot of floor space. Existing double-stacked structures only offer two vertical floors, preventing further vertical space utilization. Existing pet structures only provide living space and fail to meet the exercise needs of pets. Rodents are accustomed to navigating narrow passages and require extensive daily movement. Existing pet structures are inherently small, with a predominantly platform-based interior layout. Pets aren't used to open spaces, and after a short run, they'll reach the end of the room and need to turn back, completely unsuitable for exercise. Therefore, the need for in-place running wheels is essential, which lacks fun and takes up space.

[0040] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the pet building provided by the utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pet building includes:

[0041] Multiple pet building units; multiple pet building units can be connected horizontally and / or vertically;

[0042] The pet building unit includes an internal structure module 11, a side enclosure structure module 12 and a top and bottom enclosure structure module 13; the side enclosure structure module and the top and bottom enclosure structure module are used to construct a closed space; the internal structure module is used for pets to live and exercise.

[0043] Specifically, existing pet buildings are all fixed spaces. If a new pet is added or the existing pet space is found to be too small, the only option is to purchase a similar product of a larger size, and the space cannot be expanded on the original basis.

[0044] In order to solve the above problems, the pet building implemented in this application includes multiple pet building units, each pet building unit includes an internal structure module, a side enclosure structure module and a top and bottom enclosure structure module; the internal structure module is used for pets to live and exercise, the side enclosure structure module and the top and bottom enclosure structure module are used to construct a closed space, and multiple pet building units can be connected horizontally and / or vertically, that is, through flexible assembly between multiple pet building units, the interconnection between the pet building units and the heightening and widening of the pet building can be achieved, thereby quickly and effectively expanding the pet space.

[0045] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the pet building unit in the embodiment of the present application is a cube. When feeding hamsters, it can be 25 cm square, and when feeding chinchillas, it can be 30 cm square. When assembling the pet building unit, first insert the side enclosure structure module downward into the slot of the top and bottom enclosure structure module as the floor, thus forming a building shell with an open top. Then put the internal structure module into the inside of the side enclosure structure module, and finally buckle another top and bottom enclosure structure module as a top cover on the side enclosure structure module, thus completing the assembly of a pet building unit. For example, the internal structure module is as follows: Figure 2 As shown; the side enclosure structure module is as shown Figure 3 As shown; the top and bottom enclosure structure modules are as follows Figure 4 shown.

[0046] Optionally, the implementation of this application can be based on the Grasshopper platform, using parametric modeling + modular design technology to achieve the expanded properties of pet building space and functions. For example, the building size can be customized by adjusting the design parameters; the modular design realizes that all components are spliced ​​and connected after plate processing, which can be flexibly disassembled and assembled, and also increases the educational and entertaining playability of the product; individual buildings can be flexibly assembled, heightened, and widened; that is, through parametric modeling, the component size can be quickly adjusted to build products of any size suitable for the actual space in the home and for raising different small rodent pets, and the expansion of pet space can be achieved quickly and effectively.

[0047] In the above embodiment, multiple pet building units can be connected horizontally and / or vertically, so that through flexible assembly between multiple pet building units, interconnection between the pet building units and the heightening and widening of the pet building can be achieved, thereby quickly and effectively expanding the pet space.

[0048] In one embodiment, the top and bottom enclosure modules include:

[0049] The enclosure unit 131 and multiple slots 132; multiple round holes are set on the enclosure unit; the slots are used for longitudinal connection between pet building units.

[0050] Specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, the top and bottom enclosure modules in the embodiment of the present application include enclosure units and multiple vertically expandable slots. The enclosure units can be composed of multiple rectangular or square panels, each with multiple circular holes to facilitate pets running and gripping the ground. The slots allow for vertical connection between pet building units, effectively expanding pet space while allowing pets to freely switch between solitary and group living.

[0051] In the above embodiment, the enclosure unit can be provided with a plurality of circular holes, thereby facilitating the pet to run and grip the ground. The slots can realize the longitudinal connection between the pet building units, thereby effectively expanding the pet space on the one hand, and allowing the pet to freely switch between solitary living and group living on the other hand.

[0052] In one embodiment, the side enclosure module comprises:

[0053] The enclosure unit 121 and a plurality of connecting pipes 122; a plurality of transverse grooves are provided on the enclosure unit; and the connecting pipes are used for the transverse connection between the pet building units.

[0054] Specifically, the side enclosure structure module in the embodiment of the present application includes an enclosure unit and a plurality of connecting pipes; wherein the enclosure unit can be composed of a plurality of rectangular or square plates, and a plurality of transverse grooves can be provided on the enclosure unit to facilitate pets to climb and effectively avoid getting their feet stuck. The connecting pipe can realize the horizontal and / or vertical connection between the pet building units, thereby effectively expanding the pet space and allowing pets to switch freely between living alone and living in groups. Optionally, a plurality of transverse grooves are also provided in the connecting pipe, thereby facilitating pets to run and grip the ground in the connecting pipe. Optionally, holes can be opened in the enclosure unit to keep the air in the building unobstructed, allowing harmful gases and heat to circulate smoothly, thereby ensuring the health of the pets.

[0055] For example, the pet building features a sealing assembly at the top, with a movable assembly positioned above it. Multiple primary ventilation holes are located on either side of the main cage surface, and external holes are also provided. These vents maintain odor-free air circulation, ensuring healthy breathing for the pet. The external holes, ventilation holes, and retractable lid also facilitate food and water additions, increasing interaction between the hamster and pet, ensuring a safe diet and reducing unnecessary illness. The lid also allows for the installation of toys, allowing the owner to easily change between different hamster toys.

[0056] Optionally, the present application can be implemented based on the Grasshopper platform, using parametric modeling + modular design technology. Each individual pet building can be interconnected and separable. External connections can be installed to connect them, and they can be separated by removing them. It can be used by both solitary and group animals. The interior space design of the building is in line with the habits of animals and is suitable for large-scale continuous one-way running. Compared with exercising in the closed space of a running wheel, it significantly increases the fun. For example, Figure 5 As shown, the enclosure units and connecting pipes in the side enclosure structure module can be processed by plate materials, can be spliced ​​and connected, and can also be flexibly disassembled and assembled, which increases the educational and entertaining playability of the product.

[0057] In the above embodiment, the connecting pipes in the side enclosure structure module can realize the horizontal connection and / or vertical connection between the pet building units, thereby effectively expanding the pet space and allowing pets to freely switch between living alone and living in groups.

[0058] In one embodiment, the internal structure module includes:

[0059] Multi-layer platforms and supporting structures between them.

[0060] Specifically, the internal structure module in the embodiment of the present application includes multiple platforms and supporting structures between the multiple platforms, so that the pet building unit can be divided into multiple physical intervals, so that the space can be utilized more reasonably and fully, thereby improving the comfort and convenience of pet life and activities.

[0061] Optionally, parametric modeling can be used in the implementation of this application to disassemble a three-dimensional entity into two-dimensional parts for easy processing and customization. The thickness and size of the pet cage can be freely changed according to the needs of the pet or the space at home. This ensures the accuracy of the pet cage model when the size is changed, avoiding assembly errors. Furthermore, based on a modular assembly method, with a single pet cage as the basic functional unit, the cages can be arranged in any horizontal and vertical arrangement based on the number and size of pets, creating a unique pet building that provides a comfortable living environment for pets and effectively expands their space.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the pet building unit can be divided into multiple physical areas through the multi-layer platforms and the supporting structures between the multi-layer platforms, so that the space can be utilized more reasonably and fully, thereby improving the comfort and convenience of pet life and activities.

[0063] In one embodiment, different platforms in the multi-level platform are connected by stairs.

[0064] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, different platforms in the multi-layer platform can be connected by stairs, so that the multiple platforms can be interconnected, thereby allowing pets to move between different platforms, thereby increasing the pet's activity space. Figure 6 As shown, the climbing mechanism is detachably arranged between the platform and the cage body for the hamster to climb. The stairs in the present application can be made of plate material, can be connected by splicing, and can also be flexibly disassembled and assembled, which increases the playability of the product in terms of both education and entertainment.

[0065] In the above embodiment, different platforms can be connected by stairs, so that the multiple platforms can be interconnected, thereby allowing pets to move between different platforms, thereby increasing the pet's activity space.

[0066] In one embodiment, a plurality of circular holes are provided in the platform.

[0067] Specifically, the platform of the present application is provided with a plurality of circular holes, so that entertainment facilities such as swings can be conveniently arranged. Figure 7 As shown, in order to increase the entertainment value, round holes are reserved on the edge of the platform for hanging toys, and entertainment facilities such as swings can be arranged.

[0068] In one embodiment, at least one of the multi-layer platforms is connected to a connecting pipe of a side enclosure structure module to form a running passage for pets and / or a running passage between different pet building units.

[0069] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the platform and the connecting pipes of the side enclosure structure module are connected, so that the platform and the connecting pipes can together form a pet running channel, effectively increasing the pet's running space. Optionally, when multiple pet building units are connected by connecting pipes, the platforms within the multiple pet building units and the connecting pipes between the multiple pet building units can also together form a pet running channel, thereby multiplying the pet's running space. For example, Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the connecting pipes of the platform and the side enclosure structure modules are connected, so that running passages can be formed between different pet building units. The red line in the figure represents the running route. After the pet reaches the third-floor platform, it can drill into the connecting pipe from the arrow position in the lower right corner, continue to go back to the arrow position in the upper left corner, and then cycle back and forth. In addition, thanks to the flexibility of the plug-in connection, the small bridges and stairs between the platforms on both sides can be adjusted to any position, so that a variety of completely different running routes can be constructed, which is very playable. That is, the embodiment of the present application fully considers the living habits of rodent pets, and designs exercise passages and private rest spaces that conform to the continuous running habits of mice, without the need to install running wheels that take up space.

[0070] In the above embodiment, the platform and the connecting pipe of the side enclosure structure module are connected, so that the platform and the connecting pipe can together form a running channel for the pet, effectively increasing the running space for the pet.

[0071] In one embodiment, the multi-layer platform includes at least one of the following:

[0072] Drinking area submodule 1111 , eating area submodule 1112 , rest area submodule 1113 , play area submodule 1114 , fitness area submodule 1115 and bathing area submodule 1116 .

[0073] Specifically, the internal structural modules in the embodiments of the present application include multi-layer platforms and supporting structures between the multi-layer platforms, thereby dividing the pet building unit into multiple physical compartments, thereby enabling more rational and adequate space utilization, and improving the comfort and convenience of pet life and activities. Optionally, in the implementation of the present application, the multi-layer platform can be divided into drinking area submodules, feeding area submodules, rest area submodules, play area submodules, fitness area submodules, and bathing area submodules, thereby achieving refined space utilization and improving the comfort and convenience of pet life and activities.

[0074] For example, Figure 3 and Figure 10 As shown, considering the pet's lifestyle, separate areas for drinking, eating, resting, playing, exercising, and bathing are provided. Two dark-colored private areas (represented by blue tubes) are shown: a resting cabin on the left and a bathing room with bathing sand on the right, with a semi-partitioned access opening in between. The pet building can consist of a cage, a platform, an external resting area, a climbing mechanism, an external feeding device, and a transparent pull-out tub. The platform is removably mounted within the cage, providing a resting and activity area. A sealing assembly with removable components is installed on the exterior of the pet building, increasing the resting space for the hamster and allowing the pet to rest. A removable climbing mechanism is installed between the platform and the cage, allowing the hamster to climb. An external feeding device can also be easily installed, making it easy to add feed and clean the food bowl. The transparent pull-out tub allows for easy inspection of litter changes and facilitates cleaning to ensure internal hygiene. Optionally, parametric modeling can be used to establish a functionally expanded pet building that controls the pet's water and food intake. The pet building focuses on the pet experience and plans the internal space into a rest area, a play area, a fitness area, a dining area, and a bathing area, thereby achieving refined use of space and improving the comfort and convenience of pet life and activities.

[0075] In the above embodiment, the multi-layer platform is divided into a drinking area submodule, a feeding area submodule, a rest area submodule, a play area submodule, a fitness area submodule and a bathing area submodule, thereby realizing refined utilization of space and improving the comfort and convenience of pet life and activities.

[0076] In one embodiment, the pet building unit is made of a transparent acrylic plate.

[0077] Specifically, the pet building units in the embodiments of this application are made of transparent acrylic sheet material, effectively ensuring the health of pets. For example, the acrylic sheeting provides 720-degree high-definition transparency, allowing pets to be observed from any angle without blind spots. Acrylic sheeting also prevents small pets from getting stuck.

[0078] In the above embodiment, the material of the pet building unit is acrylic transparent plate, which can effectively ensure the health of the pet.

[0079] For example, Figure 11 The pet building schematic diagram shown in the figure. As shown in the figure, the pet building in the implementation of this application can adopt a parametric modeling method, and the size of the pet building can be quickly adjusted according to the size of the pet, thereby improving the modeling efficiency. By making full use of the scalability, it can be freely expanded in the vertical and horizontal directions, providing a living place for the hamster that conforms to its own sleeping and eating habits, while expanding the hamster's mobility. The pet building in the embodiment of this application has the following advantages: (1) Flexibility: The shape, size and details of the hamster cage can be changed by adjusting the parameters, such as adjusting the size of the cage to accommodate hamsters of different sizes; and the horizontal expansion and vertical expansion functions make the hamster cage more flexible and adjustable. (2) Consistency: Once a set of parameters are defined, all design elements will be automatically generated according to these parameters, ensuring the consistency of the design. (3) High space utilization: The horizontal expansion and vertical expansion functions allow better utilization of available space. When more space is needed, the size of the cage can be easily expanded without purchasing a new cage or replacing the existing cage. (4) Reusability: If multiple hamster cages need to be made, the same design template or element can be stored and reused, saving time and labor. (5) Accuracy: Using parametric modeling, you can get very accurate results, such as precisely controlling the size of the holes in the cage to prevent the hamster from escaping. (6) Optimizability: You can adjust parameters to minimize a specific performance indicator, such as the weight or cost of the cage. (7) Easy to clean: The horizontal and vertical expansion functions make the hamster cage easier to clean. The expansion parts can be easily disassembled and reassembled for better cleaning and maintenance of the cage hygiene. (8) Economical: Modular assembly can save costs. There is no need to purchase multiple cages of different sizes. You can simply expand the function to meet different needs, thus saving the cost of purchasing multiple cages.
