Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pet supplies technology, specifically referring to a cat tent tunnel. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards, more and more citizens have started to keep pets, such as cats and dogs, to alleviate loneliness and meet their spiritual needs for entertainment. Correspondingly, various pet supplies have emerged, with cat tents and tunnels becoming necessities for families with pet cats. As people increasingly live in cramped urban areas, their family living space has been further compressed, and pet cats have consequently lost their activity space. With this loss of space, their natural outdoor instincts, such as climbing onto rooftops, cannot be satisfied.

[0003] Therefore, many multi-layered folding cat tent tunnels have appeared on the market. These cat tent tunnels are usually a combination of a cat tent tunnel cover and four support poles. When our pet cat moves to one side, this structure can easily cause the overall center of gravity of the cat tent tunnel to shift, thus causing it to tip over. This design has certain safety hazards, because once the center of gravity is unbalanced, the cat tent tunnel is prone to tipping over, posing a potential danger to the pet cat. In addition, if the cat is heavy, the structure of this cat tent tunnel may not be able to support their weight, which leads to the potential risk of the cat tent tunnel collapsing or breaking, which may threaten the safety of the cat. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cat tent tunnel with a simple structure, easy stacking and assembly, convenient operation, high stability during use, and a robust structure.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows:

[0006] A cat tent tunnel includes a cylindrical body divided into several chambers by axially distributed partitions. Several inlets for pets to enter the chambers are provided on the side wall of the body. The inlets are axially offset. Several support components are provided on the outer wall of the body. Several sets of support components are spaced apart. Each support component includes a first diagonal rod and a second diagonal rod. The upper end of the first diagonal rod abuts against the upper end of the second diagonal rod, and the lower end of the first diagonal rod forms an angle with the lower end of the second diagonal rod.

[0033] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0034] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cat tent tunnel with a simple structure, easy stacking and assembly, convenient operation, high stability during use, and a robust structure. It includes a cylindrical body 1, which is divided into several chambers by axially distributed partitions. Several inlets for pets to enter the chambers are provided on the side wall of the body 1. These inlets are axially staggered to ensure that multiple cats can use the tunnel simultaneously without interfering with each other. Furthermore, this design can also serve as a form of exercise, promoting the cats' health. Several support components 10 are provided on the outer wall of the body 1, and these support components 10 are spaced apart to enhance the stability of the entire cat tent tunnel. Qualitatively, the support component 10 includes a first inclined rod 11 and a second inclined rod 12. The upper part of the first inclined rod 11 abuts against the upper part of the second inclined rod 12, and a certain angle is intentionally formed between the lower ends of the first inclined rod 11 and the lower ends of the second inclined rod 12. This structural design not only increases the stability of the support component 10, but also provides a good support effect. This design allows the cat tent tunnel to maintain its structural stability even when the pet is engaged in daily activities such as jumping, playing, or resting, and it will not easily tip over or move, thus providing the pet with a safe and comfortable resting environment.

[0035] Preferably, the cylinder 1 is provided with a mounting sleeve 13, and the first inclined rod 11 and the second inclined rod 12 are respectively inserted into the corresponding mounting sleeve 13. The mounting sleeve 13 is respectively provided on the outer wall of the upper chamber 4, the middle chamber 5 and the lower chamber 6, and is adapted to the first inclined rod 11 and the second inclined rod 12. This not only ensures a stable connection between the inclined rod and the cylinder 1, but also, through this structural arrangement, the inclined rod can effectively distribute the pressure borne by the cylinder 1, thereby enhancing the stability and durability of the entire structure. This ensures that the mounting sleeve 13 can achieve a precise fit and a stable connection with the first inclined rod 11 and the second inclined rod 12, thus guaranteeing the reliability of the entire cat tent tunnel during use.

[0036] Preferably, a locking part 14 is provided on the side of the upper end of the cylinder 1, and a locking member 15 is provided on the locking part 14. The upper end and both sides of the locking member 15 are connected to the locking part 14, and a receiving cavity with an open lower end is formed between the locking member 15 and the locking part 14. This not only ensures the stability of the structure, but also greatly facilitates the disassembly and installation operations. The upper ends of the first inclined rod 11 and the second inclined rod 12 pass through the receiving cavity, and the first inclined rod 11 and the second inclined rod 12 are fixed through the receiving cavity. Through the structure of the receiving cavity, the first inclined rod 11 and the second inclined rod 12 are fixed, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire device. In addition, when it is only necessary to quickly install or disassemble the inclined rods, the operator can complete this process very conveniently, which greatly improves work efficiency.

[0037] Preferably, a first adhesive portion 17 is provided on one side of the locking part 14, and a second adhesive portion 18 adapted to the first adhesive portion 17 is provided on the locking member 15. The first adhesive portion 17 and the second adhesive portion 18 are adhered to each other, thereby maintaining the stability of the locking part 14 under normal circumstances. This ensures that the first diagonal rod 11 and the second diagonal rod 12 can maintain their stable state after installation, preventing accidental loosening or detachment. This improves the reliability and safety of the overall structure of the cat tent tunnel. When the first diagonal rod 11 and the second diagonal rod 12 need to be installed, the second adhesive portion 18 can be disengaged from the adhesive state with the first adhesive portion 17 by driving the locking member. This action will cause one side of the receiving cavity to open, thereby providing space for the installation of the first diagonal rod 11 and the second diagonal rod 12. After the diagonal rods are installed, this side of the receiving cavity is closed. This ensures the integrity and functionality of the entire structure, thereby guaranteeing the stability and safe use of the cat tent tunnel.

[0038] Preferably, the partition includes an upper partition 2 and a lower partition 3 that divide the chamber into an upper chamber 4, a middle chamber 5, and a lower chamber 6. The inlet includes an upper inlet 7, a middle inlet 8, and a lower inlet 9 respectively located on the upper chamber 4, middle chamber 5, and lower chamber 6. Each of the upper inlet 7, middle inlet 8, and lower inlet 9 has an openable upper cover 19, a middle cover 20, and a lower cover 21. The upper cover 19, middle cover 20, and lower cover 21 respectively close the upper inlet 7, middle inlet 8, and lower inlet 9. The partition's function is to effectively close the inlets when they are not in use, preventing debris or other unwanted substances from entering the cat tent tunnel. It also allows for control of the cat's movement range and trajectory when it is active. The middle cover 20 can be opened, and the upper cover... The upper cover 19 and lower cover 21 are closed, allowing the cat to enter through the middle inlet 8 to play and improve its jumping ability. Different covers can also be opened and closed to allow the cat to play maze games. The covers can also act as a windbreak when the cat is sleeping, or be opened to allow the cat to play together. The upper cover 19, middle cover 20, and lower cover 21 are all connected to the upper inlet 7, middle inlet 8, and lower inlet 9 via zippers, ensuring both ease of connection and reliability. This allows the covers to fit tightly against the inlets when closed, achieving a good sealing effect. The covers can be opened simply by pulling, making operation easy and accessible to a wider range of users.

[0039] Preferably, the upper cover 19, the middle cover 20, and the lower cover 21 are provided with an upper fixing member 22, a middle fixing member 23, and a lower fixing member 24, and the cylinder 1 is provided with an upper fixing part 25, a middle fixing part 26, and a lower fixing part 27. The upper fixing part 25 is located above the upper fixing member 22 and is detachably connected. The middle fixing part 26 is located above the middle fixing member 23 and is detachably connected. The lower fixing part 27 is located above the lower fixing member 24 and is detachably connected. When the cover needs to be opened, it is not only necessary to unzip it, but also to fix the fixing members and fixing parts on the cover to each other. This allows the user to fix the opened cover without having to use their hands for a long time. This provides a way to fix the opened cover. The fixing members and fixing parts can be connected by adhesive, snap-fit, magnetic attraction, or binding, as long as they can fix the opened cover and do not affect the cat's use.

[0040] Preferably, the upper inlet 7, middle inlet 8, and lower inlet 9 are arranged in a spiral array. To facilitate pets' entry and exit, the upper inlet 7, middle inlet 8, and lower inlet 9 are axially staggered, ensuring that multiple cats can use the equipment simultaneously without interfering with each other. The bottom of the cylinder 1 is provided with a weight plate 31, which closes the bottom of the cylinder 1, improving the overall stability of the cylinder 1. This effectively prevents the center of gravity from shifting due to the movement of cats inside the cylinder 1, thereby avoiding the risk of the cylinder 1 tipping over due to instability and ensuring the safety and operational reliability of the cylinder 1.

[0041] Preferably, the upper partition 2 has a first through hole 28 and the lower partition 3 has a second through hole 29. The first through hole 28 and the second through hole 29 are staggered, which serves as an isolation function and provides a stepping area for the cat to climb up. The upper chamber 4, the middle chamber 5 and the lower chamber 6 are connected, so that the cat can climb up and down when playing in the cat tent tunnel, which can increase the cat's activity space.

[0042] Preferably, the outer side of the cylinder 1 is provided with a sheet-like woven mesh. The woven mesh can be set in any one or more layers of the upper chamber 4, middle chamber 5, and lower chamber 6. This facilitates the observation of the cat's movement in the cat tent tunnel and also plays a role in dissipating odors. Cats sleep and play in the cat tent tunnel for a long time, and the sealed cat tent tunnel will inevitably have some odor. The woven mesh can facilitate the exchange and circulation of air between the inside and outside of the cat tent tunnel, which can remove odors from the cat tent tunnel. It can also be used as a breathing vent. When we are not at home, we can fix the cover and place the cat in the cat tent tunnel. At this time, the woven mesh can provide ventilation.

[0043] Preferably, a toy 30 is provided at the top of the upper chamber 4. The toy 30 is located in the middle of the upper chamber 4, ensuring that the pet can easily find and be attracted no matter which angle it approaches from. The toy 30 can take many forms, such as a cat teaser that can stimulate the cat's curiosity and hunting instinct, or a brightly colored feather pendant that flutters in the wind. These designs are all intended to increase the pet's interactive fun and exercise.

[0044] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
