[0022] To more clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to explain the solution.

[0023] See Figures 1-4 A multifunctional intelligent pet toy includes a chassis 1 movably mounted on the ground, a ball-scooping module 2 mounted on the chassis 1, several cat scratching board modules 3 detachably mounted on the ball-scooping module 2, and a toy ball 4 mounted on top of the cat scratching board modules 3. The bottom of the chassis 1 is provided with drive wheels 5, the side of the chassis 1 is provided with a camera 6, the inside of the chassis 1 is provided with a controller, the camera 6 and the drive wheels 5 are respectively connected to the controller, the controller is connected to a battery, and the side of the chassis 1 is provided with a charging interface 7 for charging the battery.

[0024] The top of the chassis 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11. The ball-scooping module 2 includes a number of rolling balls 21 that are rolled in the receiving groove 11 and a support plate 22 that is provided on the chassis 1. The support plate 22 is provided with a number of ball-scooping holes 221 that are connected to the receiving groove 11.

[0025] The top side of the support plate 22 is provided with a number of grooves 222. The cat scratching plate module 3 includes a support frame 31 whose bottom end can be detachably snapped into the groove 222, and a cat scratching plate 32 which can be detachably set on the support frame 31. The top end of the support frame 31 is connected to the toy ball 4.

[0026] The groove 222 is arc-shaped, and the support frame 31 is a spherical triangular structure. The bottom end of the support frame 31 is provided with a protrusion 311 corresponding to the groove 222. The protrusion 311 can be detachably snapped into the groove 222.

[0027] The toy ball 4 has a positioning hole 41 on its side, and the top of the support frame 31 is detachably embedded in the positioning hole 41.

[0028] The top of the toy ball 4 is provided with a connection hole 42 for connecting other toys.

[0029] Both the outer contours of the chassis 1 and the support plate 22 are circular.

[0030] The controller is equipped with a wireless transmission module.

[0031] The specific working process of this utility model:

[0032] When in use, the toy is activated. When the cat approaches the toy, camera 6 detects the distance to the cat and transmits a signal to the controller. The controller then controls the drive wheel 5 to rotate, moving the toy towards the cat. The cat can chase the toy ball 4, scratch and bite other toys attached to the toy ball 4, such as a cat toy wand, and use the scratching post 32 on the scratching post module 3 to sharpen its claws. The owner can connect to the toy's camera 6 via their mobile phone to observe the cat's play in real time and remotely control the toy's movement and appearance as needed.

[0033] By sequentially assembling a ball-scooping module 2, a cat paw board module, and a toy ball 4 on the chassis 1, the cat can achieve the functions of multiple toys with a single toy. A camera 6 is installed on the chassis 1, and the data transmitted by the camera 6 is processed by the controller. The controller then controls the movement of the drive wheel 5, thereby controlling the appearance of the toy in different directions and positions of the cat. The toy is more intelligent, and the interaction between the cat and the toy is stronger, meeting the needs of people who keep pets.

[0034] By separating the cat scratching plate 32 on the cat scratching plate module 3 from the support frame 31, when the cat scratching plate 32 is worn, the support frame 31 can be removed from the groove 222 of the support plate 22, and then the cat scratching plate 32 can be replaced, making the toy more durable.

[0035] By setting a connection hole 42 on the toy ball 4, other toys can be inserted into the connection hole 42. Combined with the movement of the camera 6 and the drive wheel 5, the movement of other toys is realized, making the toys more interesting and further improving the cat's playability and interactivity with other toys.

[0036] The toy ball 4 is located at the very top of the toy and is made of a lightweight, environmentally friendly, and somewhat flexible material, such as silicone. The design of the connecting hole 42 ensures that the small toy is securely attached to the toy ball 4 and is not easy to fall off, while also making it easy to change different small toys and increasing the novelty of playing with the cat.

[0037] The cat scratching board in the cat scratching board module 3 is made of corrugated cardboard or other materials suitable for cats to sharpen their claws. The detachable design of the cat scratching board 32 makes it easy to replace the cat scratching board 32 when it is worn out, thus maintaining the practicality of the toy.

[0038] Camera 6 connects to external smart devices (such as smartphones) via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Camera 6 features distance recognition; when a cat approaches the toy, it automatically detects the distance and transmits this information to the controller. The controller then uses this distance information to control the movement and placement of the toy ball 4, increasing the fun of interaction between the cat and the toy. Furthermore, camera 6 can capture footage of the cat playing, allowing the owner to monitor their cat's activities at any time via their smartphone.

[0039] A drive wheel 5 is mounted on the bottom of the chassis 1. The drive wheel 5 is driven by a motor, which is connected to the controller. Based on the information collected by the camera 6 and the preset program, the controller controls the rotation direction and speed of the drive wheel 5, enabling the toy to move autonomously within a certain range and actively attract the cat's attention.

[0040] The technical features of this utility model not described can be implemented by or by using existing technology, and will not be repeated here. Of course, the above description is not a limitation of this utility model, and this utility model is not limited to the examples above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of this utility model should also be within the protection scope of this utility model.
