Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cat supplies technology, and more specifically, it relates to a splicing outdoor cat climbing frame. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, urban design primarily serves humans, but flora and fauna, as part of the urban system, should be considered. A conflict exists between stray animals and people in urban spaces: stray animals need safe shelter to cope with severe weather, while people worry about the threat of infectious diseases to those with weakened immune systems. Therefore, we need to design appropriate facilities based on urban environmental management to balance the needs of both sides and ensure safety.
[0003] Stray cats, as marginalized animals, inhabit human living spaces. The integration of cat assistance technology with environmental infrastructure research in urban renewal has given significant meaning to the spatial and interpersonal interactions between stray cats and humans. Currently, compared to protection technologies for other animals, technological solutions specifically for stray cats are not widely used. For cat trees, most on the market are indoor installations. Conventional cat trees are usually limited by room space, failing to provide sufficient activity area, restricting the cat's exploration and movement abilities, and failing to provide a playful and sheltered place for stray cats. This also leads to difficulties in subsequent cleanup. Therefore, innovation in this technology is needed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a modular outdoor cat climbing frame that can not only promote the renewal of the urban landscape, but also provide a place for stray cats to play, live and shelter, and enhance the interaction between people and stray animals.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a splicing outdoor cat climbing frame, including several parallel support frames, a fifth main platform, a third main platform, several secondary platforms, and several tripods. The support frames are column structures, set perpendicular to the bottom surface, and inserted into pre-cut grooves in the ground. Concrete is filled into the grooves to fix the support frames to the ground. The support frames are provided with several grooves from top to bottom. The fifth main platform, the third main platform, and the several secondary platforms are all connected to the support frames through the grooves, allowing the cat to move and play on each platform.
[0006] Preferably, a tripod is supported under each platform, and the support frame is provided with several screw holes from top to bottom. Bolts are connected to the screw holes on the support frame to fix the tripod to the support frame.
[0007] Preferably, the fifth main platform is a Z-shaped plate, the third main platform is a J-shaped plate, and the several secondary platforms are straight plates of different sizes.
[0008] Preferably, the modular outdoor cat climbing frame also includes a cat scratching board, which is connected to the secondary platform via a U-shaped slot.
[0009] Preferably, the modular outdoor cat climbing frame also includes cylindrical footrests, semi-circular steps, and pedals. The cylindrical footrests are snapped onto the support frame, the semi-circular steps are installed between the two platforms, and the pedals are composed of several straight plates and are installed at the bottom of the entire cat climbing frame.
[0010] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows:
[0011] 1. The cat climbing frame in this application can be directly installed on outdoor streets, providing a place for stray cats to play and live in the city, enhancing the interaction between people and stray cats, and achieving harmonious coexistence between people and stray cats.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0021] At the corner of Xiaohuangzhuang Road in Heping Street, Chaoyang District, Beijing, there is a wall. Based on local street regulations, it was necessary to integrate the wall, an air conditioner unit, and a cat enclosure. Therefore, we proposed a concept for an integrated outdoor wall-mounted cat tree. Combining the wall-mounted cat tree with the air conditioner unit makes full use of the building facade, saving ground space. Especially in the context of limited land area in Heping Street, this provides a comfortable shelter for stray cats, promotes interaction between people and cats, and enhances the city's aesthetics, adding color to the buildings.
[0022] The modular outdoor cat tree mainly consists of two parts: a support frame and a platform. It provides cats with daily activities and a place to rest, and can be assembled and modified to suit different wall sizes. Specifically, for example... Figure 1-4 As shown in this embodiment, the cat climbing frame has five parallel support frames 1. The support frame 1 is a column structure, set perpendicular to the bottom surface, and its bottom is inserted into a pre-drilled groove in the ground. Concrete is filled into the groove to fix the support frame 1 to the ground. The support frame 1 has several grooves 6 and screw holes arranged from top to bottom for assembling the cat's activity platform and other components, which also facilitates the user to assemble and adjust different cat activity platforms as needed.
[0023] The fifth main platform 13 is a Z-shaped board, and the third main platform 10 is a J-shaped board; both are the cat's main activity platforms. There are two third main platforms 10, which are installed horizontally on top of the cat tree, one with the hook facing down and the other with the hook facing up.
[0024] The first main platform 3, the second main platform 8, the fourth main platform 11, the sixth main platform 19, the first platform 7, the second platform 14, and the third platform 17 are all straight-lined panels, connected to the support frame 1 via grooves 6. These platforms are fixedly installed at different heights on the support frame 1, forming a multi-level activity space, providing climbing and resting areas for the cat. Each platform is supported by a tripod 21 to enhance its stability. The tripod 21 is connected to the support frame 1 via bolts and screw holes 18.
[0025] The cat scratching board 16 is connected to the third platform 17 via a U-shaped groove, which can directly meet the cat's natural scratching needs and extend the service life of the cat tree. The U-shaped groove provides a stable locking effect, and at the same time, the position of the scratching board can be easily changed or moved, making it convenient to install and remove the cat scratching board 16 in different positions.
[0026] A semi-circular step 4 is installed between the two platforms to provide a passage for the cat to jump from the lower platform to the higher platform. A footrest 5 is installed at the bottom of the cat tree for the cat to climb onto the movable platform. A cylindrical footrest 2 is snapped onto the support frame 1 for the cat to transition or stand on while jumping.
[0027] In this application, multiple connecting plates and slot structures are used between the various activity platforms and the support frame. These connecting components have an interlocking function, enabling different platforms to be securely connected to the support frame. The connecting plates are made of durable materials that can resist corrosion in harsh outdoor environments, and the slot and screw hole structures ensure the cat climbing frame's sturdiness and impact resistance.
[0028] A protective plate 12 is installed at the top of the support frame, and the protective net is fixed by elastic connectors to prevent cats from accidentally falling when climbing to the top activity area. The protective net structure is lightweight but provides good protection, is suitable for outdoor installation, and does not affect aesthetics.
[0029] This modular outdoor cat tree features a robust, self-supporting structure that eliminates the need for wall drilling, making it suitable for installation on outdoor walls or other open areas. Furthermore, its design combines aesthetics and functionality, providing stray cats with a safe space to climb, rest, and move around, while also enhancing the beauty of the urban environment and promoting harmonious coexistence between humans and cats.
[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
