Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of pet toys, in particular to a cat carousel toy. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's economic living standards, more and more families or individuals choose to raise pets, and a large part of the cat-keeping population does not have much time to accompany the cats. By buying toys for cats, the cats can have fun when they are alone. There are many types of toys for cats, such as cat wands, cat carousels, cat climbing frames, and cat scratching boards. The cat carousel involved in the present application is one of the toys for cats. Cats can achieve entertainment by touching the small balls arranged in the cat carousel with their paws, and add fun to their lives.

[0003] The structure of the cat carousel toy in the related art is relatively simple, mostly integrally formed with an upper track and a lower track to form a small ball channel, small balls are placed in the small ball channel, a clamping block on the base is clamped with a clamping hole on the upper track, and the cat's paw touches the small balls placed in the small ball channel to achieve the purpose of entertainment. In the process of playing the cat carousel toy, sundries, cat hair and other stains will be left in the small ball channel formed by the base and the upper track. The long-term retention of stains on the cat carousel toy will affect the health of the cat. The user needs to detach the upper track from the lower track to clean and disinfect the cat carousel toy to ensure the health of the cat.

[0004] The upper arc track of the cat carousel toy in the related art is integrally formed. When the user needs to clean the cat carousel toy during use, the integrally formed upper track is unevenly stressed during disassembly, which can easily cause the upper track to break. It is not convenient to detach it from the base. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0005] Since the cat carousel toy will leave stains after being used by the cat, when the user needs to disassemble and clean the cat carousel toy, in order to improve the problem that the integrally formed upper track is unevenly stressed during disassembly and is prone to breakage, the present application provides a cat carousel toy.

[0006] The cat carousel toy provided by the present application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A cat carousel toy, comprising a base, a small ball channel arranged on the base, and small balls placed in the small ball channel, the small ball channel comprising a lower track located on the outer periphery of the base and an upper track mounted on the lower track, the upper track comprising a straight-shaped splicing piece and an arc-shaped splicing piece detachably mounted above the lower track, the straight-shaped splicing piece and the arc-shaped splicing piece being spliced to form a ring shape consistent with the shape of the lower track.

[0008] By adopting the technical scheme, the small ball channel is spliced by the straight-shaped splicing piece and the arc-shaped splicing piece and then is installed on the lower track, the cat stands on the base during playing the cat carousel toy, and the small ball is rolled in the small ball channel by pawing the small ball placed in the small ball channel. When the cat hair and other sundries are stuck in the small ball channel, the straight-shaped splicing piece and the lower track are disassembled, and then the arc-shaped splicing piece and the lower track are disassembled when the user needs to clean the cat carousel toy. Since the straight-shaped splicing piece and the arc-shaped splicing piece have smaller overall volume relative to the integrally-formed upper track, the straight-shaped splicing piece and the arc-shaped splicing piece are uniformly stressed during disassembly, thereby improving the problem that the integrally-formed upper track of the cat carousel toy is unevenly stressed during disassembly and is broken.

[0009] Optionally, the side wall bottom edges of the arc-shaped splicing piece and the straight-shaped splicing piece are provided with clamping holes, and the side wall upper edges of the lower track are provided with clamping blocks used for clamping the clamping holes, and the clamping holes are clamped with the clamping blocks when the arc-shaped splicing piece and the straight-shaped splicing piece are installed on the lower track.

[0010] By adopting the technical scheme, the user cleans the cat carousel toy, and since the straight-shaped splicing piece and the arc-shaped splicing piece are made of plastic with certain elasticity, pressure is applied to the side walls of the straight-shaped splicing piece and the arc-shaped splicing piece during disassembly, so that the clamping blocks on the lower track are separated from the clamping holes in the straight-shaped splicing piece and the arc-shaped splicing piece, and the upper track and the lower track are quickly disassembled; during installation, pressure is also applied to the side walls of the straight-shaped splicing piece and the arc-shaped splicing piece, so that the clamping blocks enter the clamping holes for clamping, the upper track is fixedly connected on the lower track, and the clamping blocks and the clamping holes are used in cooperation, so that the installation and disassembly of the upper track and the lower track are more convenient and fast.

[0011] Optionally, the arc-shaped splicing piece and the straight-shaped splicing piece further include locking blocks arranged on the side walls of the arc-shaped splicing piece and the straight-shaped splicing piece below the clamping holes, and the lower track further includes locking holes arranged on the side walls of the lower track below the clamping blocks, and the locking blocks are locked with the locking holes when the clamping holes are clamped with the clamping blocks.

[0012] By adopting the technical scheme, when a user installs the cat carousel toy after disassembling and cleaning the cat carousel toy, pressure is applied to the side walls of the straight-shaped connecting piece and the arc-shaped connecting piece, the clamping block passes through the clamping hole to be clamped, and the locking block passes through the locking hole to be further locked. Since the cat paw and the body of the cat may impact the upper track to a certain extent during the cat playing the cat carousel, the upper track may be separated from the lower track only by the clamping connection between the clamping block and the clamping hole. In order to ensure the stability of the connection between the upper track and the lower track during the cat playing the cat carousel, when the clamping block is clamped with the clamping hole, the locking block is embedded in the locking hole to further lock the upper track and the lower track.

[0013] Optionally, the surface of the locking block in contact with the clamping block is a guide surface.

[0014] By adopting the technical scheme, when a user installs the cat carousel toy after disassembling and cleaning the cat carousel toy, pressure is applied to the straight-shaped connecting piece and the arc-shaped connecting piece. Since the straight-shaped connecting piece and the arc-shaped connecting piece are made of plastic material and have a certain elasticity, the surface of the locking block in contact with the clamping block is set as a guide surface during the further locking of the upper track and the lower track. When the straight-shaped connecting piece and the arc-shaped connecting piece are subjected to a downward pushing force, the guide surface of the locking block will slide in contact with the clamping block, and the side walls of the straight-shaped connecting piece and the arc-shaped connecting piece will be subjected to a force inwardly shrinking. When the locking block slides downward to leave the clamping block, the force inwardly connecting the straight-shaped connecting piece and the arc-shaped connecting piece disappears, the clamping block enters the clamping hole to be clamped, and the locking block enters the locking hole to be locked. Setting the surface of the locking block in contact with the clamping block as a guide surface can generate a downward movement guide effect of the locking block and the locking hole during locking, and the locking of the upper track and the lower track can be completed only by applying a downward pushing force to the straight-shaped connecting piece and the arc-shaped connecting piece, which is more convenient and labor-saving.

[0015] Optionally, one side of the arc-shaped connecting piece is provided with a positioning groove, the other side of the arc-shaped connecting piece is provided with a positioning block, one side of the straight-shaped connecting piece is provided with a positioning groove, and the other side of the straight-shaped connecting piece is provided with a positioning block. When the straight-shaped connecting piece and the arc-shaped connecting piece are connected, the positioning block is embedded in the positioning groove.

[0016] By adopting the technical scheme, when a user installs the cat carousel toy after disassembling and cleaning the cat carousel toy, the positioning groove and the positioning block generate a horizontal positioning effect on the connection between the straight-shaped connecting piece and the arc-shaped connecting piece. When the positioning groove and the positioning block are aligned, the arc-shaped connecting piece and the straight-shaped connecting piece are aligned and connected. This ensures that the arc-shaped connecting piece and the straight-shaped connecting piece are quickly aligned and connected during the installation of the cat carousel toy, making the installation process more convenient and fast.

[0017] Optionally, a limiting block is arranged on the top surface of the positioning groove, and a limiting groove for embedding the limiting block is arranged on the bottom surface of the limiting block.

[0018] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the user installs the cat carousel toy after disassembling and cleaning the cat carousel toy, the limiting groove and the limiting block can produce a transverse fixed clamping effect on the straight-shaped splicing piece and the arc-shaped splicing piece. When the positioning groove is aligned with the limiting block, the limiting block is embedded in the limiting groove, and the arc-shaped splicing piece and the straight-shaped splicing piece cannot produce transverse displacement. This ensures that the arc-shaped splicing piece and the straight-shaped splicing piece cannot slide apart after being aligned and spliced during the installation of the cat carousel toy, further improving the efficiency of the cat carousel toy during installation.

[0019] Optionally, a lifting beam is further arranged on the sidewall of the base.

[0020] By adopting the above technical scheme, the lifting beam arranged on the base of the cat carousel toy can enable the user to move the cat carousel toy by lifting the lifting beam during the movement of the cat carousel toy, without the need to lift the entire base of the cat carousel toy, thereby facilitating the movement of the cat carousel toy.

[0021] Optionally, a comb tooth is arranged on the sidewall of the lifting beam.

[0022] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the cat plays with the balls in the ball channel of the cat carousel toy, the body will touch the lifting beam on the base, and at the same time, the comb tooth on the sidewall of the lifting beam can be used for combing the hair, thereby improving the interest and practicality of the cat carousel toy and enabling the cat to increase the comfortable combing experience during play.

[0023] Optionally, a cat scratching plate is arranged on the base.

[0024] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the cat plays with the balls in the ball channel of the cat carousel toy, the cat can also use the cat scratching plate to grind the claws and remove the aging cutin layer, thereby improving the comfortable experience of the cat during play.

[0025] In summary, the present application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] 1. The cat carousel toy of the present application comprises a straight-shaped splicing piece and an arc-shaped splicing piece, and the user can sequentially disassemble the straight-shaped splicing piece and the arc-shaped splicing piece from the lower track during cleaning of the cat carousel toy, thereby improving the situation that the integrally formed upper track is broken due to uneven stress during cleaning and disassembly.

[0027] 2. The application sets the locking block and the locking hole, the locking block and the locking hole are further locked, which ensures the stability of the connection between the upper track and the lower track of the cat carousel toy during playing;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The application will be further described below in combination with the accompanying Figures 1-3 The application will be further described below in combination with the accompanying

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 ​The embodiment of the application discloses a cat carousel toy, which comprises a base 1, a ball channel 2 arranged on the base 1, balls 5 placed in the ball channel 2, a cat scratching plate 7 arranged on the base 1 and a lifting beam 6 fixedly connected to the base 1.

[0040] The ball channel 2 comprises a lower track 22 integrally formed with the base 1 and an upper track 21 arranged on the lower track 22. The upper track 21 comprises a plurality of straight splicing pieces 211 and arc-shaped splicing pieces 212 arranged above the lower track 22. The number of the straight splicing pieces 211 and the arc-shaped splicing pieces 212 is determined according to the shape of the lower track 22. In the embodiment, the number of the straight splicing pieces 211 is two, and the number of the arc-shaped splicing pieces 212 is four.

[0041] The straight splicing pieces 211 and the arc-shaped splicing pieces 212 are arranged on the upper track 21, and the area of the side wall of the straight splicing pieces 211 and the arc-shaped splicing pieces 212 is smaller than that of the integrally formed upper track 21. In the case of being subjected to the same inward extrusion force, the straight splicing pieces 211 and the arc-shaped splicing pieces 212 are uniformly stressed and are not easy to break, thereby improving the problem that the integrally formed upper track 21 is not uniformly stressed and is easy to break during disassembly.

[0042] The side wall of the lifting beam 6 is provided with comb teeth 61.

When the balls 5 are subjected to the pushing force of the cat paw, the balls 5 roll in the ball channel 2 along the preset direction. Since the cat is interested in moving objects, the cat carousel toy achieves the entertainment effect by driving the balls 5 by the cat. Meanwhile, the cat can use the cat scratching plate 7 to grind the claws and remove the cutin layer on the claws. In addition, the cat can use the comb teeth 61 arranged on the side wall of the lifting beam 6 to comb the hair when standing on the cat scratching plate 7, stimulate the skin and hair follicles of the cat and promote the circulation of blood, thereby being beneficial to the health of the cat.
