[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example
[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, a novel cat scratching board with a bridge-like structure includes a bridge-like board body 1 and a cat scratching ball 213 disposed on the top of the bridge-like board body 1. A first bracket 211 is fixed to the outer wall of the rear end of the bridge-like board body 1, and a second bracket 212 is connected to the front end of the bridge-like board body 1 through a limiting mechanism. The cat scratching ball 213 is rotatably connected to the opposite side of the first bracket 211 and the second bracket 212. Two sets of rotating shafts 214 are fixed to the outer wall of the cat scratching ball 213. An embedding groove 215 corresponding to the rotating shaft 214 is opened on the opposite side of the first bracket 211 and the second bracket 212. The rotating shaft 214 can be embedded in the embedding groove 215 and can rotate relative to the embedding groove 215. The cat scratching ball 213 can be rotated after being moved. After the second bracket 212 is taken out forward, the cat scratching ball 213 can be pulled to drive the rotating shaft 214 to disengage from the embedding groove 215, thereby replacing the cat scratching ball 213.
[0026] The limiting mechanism includes a positioning post 216 and a positioning groove 217. The positioning post 216 is fixed to the rear end of the second bracket 212. The outer wall of the bridge plate body 1 has a positioning groove 217 corresponding to the positioning post 216. By pulling the second bracket 212 forward, the positioning post 216 is disengaged from the positioning groove 217, allowing the cat scratch ball 213 to be replaced. This method provides a good positioning effect and ensures the stability of the second bracket 212 connection. A fixing block 219 is fixed to the outer wall of the bridge plate body 1. A rod 220 passes through the fixing block 219. The side wall of the second bracket 212 has a slot 218 that matches the rod 220. The rod 220 can move laterally inside the fixing block 219, allowing the end of the rod 220 to be inserted into the slot 218, thus locking the second bracket 212 and preventing it from falling forward, thereby enhancing the stability of the limiting mechanism connection. A baffle 221 is fixed to the end of the insertion rod 220 away from the second bracket 212. The baffle 221 is connected to the fixing block 219 by a spring 222. In the initial state, the spring 222 can retract and drive the baffle 221 and the insertion rod 220 to move towards the side of the second bracket 212. The insertion rod 220 can be inserted into the slot 218, which further improves the stability of the second bracket 212.
[0027] The top of the bridge-shaped board body 1 is provided with a pulp layer 311. The pulp layer 311 can be made of pulp material, which has a wear-resistant effect and is easy for cats to use. LED strips 312 are installed on the front and rear sides of the bridge-shaped board body 1. The LED strips 312 can emit light and enhance the aesthetic appeal of the bridge-shaped board body 1. Four sets of suction cups 313 are fixed to the bottom of the bridge-shaped board body 1. The four sets of suction cups 313 are respectively located at the four corners of the bottom of the bridge-shaped board body 1. The suction cups 313 can adhere to the ground. When the bridge-shaped board body 1 is pressed down, the air inside the suction cups 313 is expelled, thus creating a negative pressure state inside the suction cups 313, generating suction force to securely support the bridge-shaped board body 1, ensuring that the bridge-shaped board body 1 will not tip over when the cat plays on it.
[0028] Working principle: When the cat scratch ball 213 needs to be replaced, the baffle 221 is pulled to disengage the insertion rod 220 from the slot 218. At this time, the spring 222 will be stretched, and then the second bracket 212 is pulled forward to disengage the positioning post 216 from the positioning groove 217. At this time, the cat scratch ball 213 can be pulled to disengage the rotating shaft 214 from the embedded groove 215, thereby achieving the effect of replacing the cat scratch ball 213.
[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
