[0009] A power supply assembly, which is fixedly installed inside the mounting compartment and electrically connected to the drive device, includes a battery unit and a control board, the control board being electrically connected to the drive device and the battery unit;

[0010] A sound pickup and generation component is fixedly installed inside the housing and connected to the control board for receiving voice information and triggering the control board start signal to drive the drive device and emit sound.

[0011] An outer ring is disposed around the outside of the housing and defines a space between it and the housing. A first connecting shaft and a second connecting shaft are disposed on the inner side of the outer ring. The first connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the housing, and the second connecting shaft passes through the housing and is connected to the output shaft for driving the outer ring to rotate around the housing.

[0012] Furthermore, a gyroscope is also installed inside the installation compartment. The gyroscope is signal-connected to the control board, and triggers the start signal of the control board when the gyroscope loses balance.

[0013] Furthermore, the driving device includes:

[0014] A drive motor, which is electrically connected to the control board;

[0015] A gear transmission assembly, wherein the input end of the gear transmission assembly is connected to the drive motor shaft, and its output end is fixedly connected to the second connecting shaft.

[0016] Furthermore, the output end of the gear transmission assembly extends along the diameter of the housing, and the drive motor is eccentrically positioned at one end of the mounting compartment.

[0017] Furthermore, the housing includes:

[0018] The inner shell includes two interlocking inner half shells, the two inner half shells forming the mounting compartment, and a mounting groove is formed on the outer surface of one of the inner half shells, the sound pickup and sound generation component being fixedly engaged in the mounting groove.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] This utility model provides a pet yo-yo that enhances fun. It can be started by voice control and rolls automatically, allowing the owner to play with their pet with minimal involvement. The yo-yo also makes sounds while rolling to stimulate the pet, thus increasing the toy's enjoyment. The outer ring 500 helps maintain balance while the yo-yo is rolling and also provides some protection for the yo-yo body, ensuring its lifespan.

[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides a pet yo-yo that enhances fun, including a spherical shell 100, an installation compartment 101 inside the shell 100, and further including: a drive device 200, a power supply assembly 300, a sound pickup and emission assembly 400, and an outer ring 500, specifically as follows: Figure 2-3 As shown, the drive unit 200 is fixedly installed inside the mounting chamber 101 and has an output shaft that outputs torque; the power supply assembly 300 is fixedly installed inside the mounting chamber 101 and electrically connected to the drive unit 200, including a battery unit 310 and a control board 320, the control board 320 being electrically connected to the drive unit 200 and the battery unit 310; the sound pickup and generation assembly 400 is fixedly installed inside the housing 100 and signal-connected to the control board 320, used to receive external sound signals and transmit the sound signals to the control board to trigger the system. The start signal of the control board drives the drive device. At the same time, the sound pickup and sound generation component 400 is also used to emit sounds under the control of the control board to stimulate and tease the pet. The outer ring 500 is arranged on the outside of the housing 100 and defines a space between it and the housing 100. The inner side of the outer ring 500 is provided with a first connecting shaft 501 and a second connecting shaft 502. The first connecting shaft 501 is rotatably connected to the housing 100, and the second connecting shaft 502 passes through the housing 100 and is connected to the output shaft for transmission, so as to drive the outer ring 500 to rotate around the housing 100.

[0031] During the use of this yo-yo, the drive component outputs torque under the drive of the power supply component 300, thereby causing the outer ring 500 to swing along the axis of the two connecting shafts. When one end of the outer ring 500 touches the ground and receives resistance, the outer shell 120 will roll, thus the yo-yo rolls automatically and can automatically play with the pet. At the same time, the yo-yo also emits sounds during the rolling process to stimulate and tease the pet, arousing the pet's interest and increasing the fun. With the yo-yo provided in this embodiment, the owner can still play with the pet even when the owner is busy. The yo-yo can be activated by sound to make it roll automatically. The rolling process can ensure the stability of movement, thereby reducing the owner's involvement and allowing the pet to play by itself. At the same time, under the control of the control board, the sound-emitting component can emit stimulating sounds to tease the pet, arousing the pet's interest and making it more fun.

[0032] In this embodiment, the sound-generating component is a buzzer, which is connected to the control board. After receiving an external sound signal, the buzzer converts it into an electrical signal, which is then sent to the control board to trigger its start signal, thereby activating the drive device and causing the yo-yo to start rolling. In this embodiment, the sound signal received by the buzzer can be a short, high-frequency sound such as a clapping or knocking sound. At the same time, in the preset program of the control board, the buzzer is triggered to emit a provocative sound to the pet at predetermined time intervals to stimulate the pet's interest. The provocative sound can be varied and is not limited here.

[0033] In this embodiment, a gyroscope 102 is also installed inside the mounting compartment 101. The gyroscope is signal-connected to the control board. When the balance of the gyroscope is broken, the gyroscope triggers the start signal of the control board, thereby activating the drive device and causing the yo-yo to start rolling. During use, when a pet wants to play with the toy, it will actively touch or move the toy. At this time, the balance of the gyroscope is broken, and the signal is sent to the control board to trigger the start signal, thereby driving the drive device and enabling the yo-yo to roll automatically.

[0034] The yo-yo provided in this embodiment can be woken up and started by clapping, tapping, or other sounds by setting up a sound-collecting component. It can also be woken up and started by touching or flicking the yo-yo. The yo-yo can be activated in multiple ways, making it intelligent for pets to play with. In addition, the sound-collecting component can also emit teasing sounds under the control of the control panel to further stimulate the pet's interest, thereby increasing the pet's interest and fun.

[0035] In this embodiment, a specific structural example of the drive device 200 is given, which includes a drive motor 210 and a gear transmission assembly 220. The drive motor 210 is electrically connected to the control board 320. The input end of the gear transmission assembly 220 is connected to the shaft of the drive motor 210, and its output end is fixedly connected to the second connecting shaft 502. The drive motor 210 is connected to the outer ring 500 through the gear transmission assembly 220, thereby enabling the output of a large torque through the transmission of the gear assembly, which in turn drives the outer casing 120 to roll. Furthermore, the transmission through the gear assembly improves the stability of the torque output.

[0036] In this embodiment, the output end of the gear transmission assembly 220 extends along the diameter of the housing 100, and the drive motor 210 is eccentrically positioned at one end of the mounting chamber 101. That is, by setting the housing 100 as an eccentric structure, the housing 100 can perform centrifugal tumbling motion relative to the outer ring 500 during the rolling process. Under the action of centrifugal force, the speed of the housing 100 during the rolling process can be changed, thereby achieving intermittent fast and slow rolling, and increasing the fun for pets playing with the yo-yo.

[0037] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the housing 100 includes two parts: an inner housing 110 and an outer housing 120. During installation, the drive unit 200, the power supply assembly 300, and the sound pickup assembly 400 are fixed with bolts. The bolt holes and bolts are all located on the inner housing 110, and the outer housing 120 is secured to the outer surface of the inner housing 110. This design allows the outer surface of the housing 100 to be relatively clean, without unnecessary parts, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. Specifically, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, the inner shell 110 includes two interlocking inner half-shells 111, with a mounting compartment 101 formed inside each half-shell. A mounting groove 112 is formed on the outer surface of one of the inner half-shells 111, and the microphone assembly 400 is fixedly engaged within the mounting groove 112. The outer shell 120 is engaged with the outer side of the inner shell 110, covering it. The outer shell 120 includes two interlocking outer half-shells 121, with corresponding holes 122 on each half-shell corresponding to the mounting groove 112. The two interlocking inner half-shells 111 are assembled into the inner shell 110 as a whole, facilitating the installation of the drive device 200 and power supply assembly 300 within the mounting compartment 101. By placing the microphone assembly 400 within the mounting groove 112 on the outer surface of the inner shell 110, the microphone unit can easily receive external voice information, while the sound emitted by the buzzer unit can be quickly transmitted.

[0038] To increase the fun of the yo-yo while it is rolling, a groove 503 is provided on the circumferential surface of the outer ring 500. During use, decorative ribbons, decorative rings or other decorations can be tied into the groove 503 to increase the fun of the yo-yo.

[0039] In a further technical solution, to prevent decorations bound within the annular groove 503 from falling off, multiple protrusions 504 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction on both the upper and lower edges of the annular groove 503. Each protrusion 504 has a connecting hole 505. A strap can be passed through the connecting hole 505 on two corresponding protrusions 504 and tightened to secure the decoration within the annular groove 503, preventing it from falling off. In other embodiments, the connecting holes 505 on the protrusions 504 can also be used to secure other decorative ribbons such as tassels, thereby attracting the pet's attention and increasing the fun.

[0040] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the present utility model.
