Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pet dental cleaning technology, specifically referring to an easy-to-use interactive cat toothbrush. Background Technology

[0002] Oral care for pets such as dogs and cats is essential for maintaining their overall health. Regular oral care helps prevent plaque and tartar buildup on teeth, reducing the risk of dental diseases.

[0003] Among the many cleaning methods, daily brushing is the most common and effective way to maintain oral hygiene. However, most cats are extremely resistant to having dental cleaning tools such as toothbrushes enter their mouths, which poses a great challenge to pet owners to carry out regular oral cleaning.

[0004] Using dental care treats is another way to aid oral hygiene, as these products contain ingredients that help reduce plaque and tartar. However, because cats have different eating habits, these products won't be effective if a cat swallows the treat without chewing it properly. Furthermore, another limitation of dental care treats is their associated calorie intake; if not properly controlled, these products may make cats more prone to obesity, thus threatening their overall health.

[0005] Some chew toys can aid in oral cleaning by enticing cats to chew on their surfaces. However, most cats, due to their hunting instincts, tend to interact with these toys using their canines rather than their molars, which are used for chewing food. Therefore, the cleaning effect of these products on a cat's mouth is relatively limited. Furthermore, some cats lack interest or patience in chewing toys for extended periods, further limiting the effectiveness of these products. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention aims to at least solve the problem of cats' teeth being difficult to clean and care for, as well as the problem of cats becoming obese and affecting their health due to excessive consumption of dental care snacks. It also overcomes the limitation of traditional chew toys in cleaning molars.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model proposes an easy-to-use interactive cat toothbrush, including a handle, one end of which is embedded with a groove for placing snacks, and further including:

[0008] Spring: Extends fixedly from the inside of the groove and is parallel to the groove, with a gap between the spring and the top of the groove;

[0009] Cleaning component: It slides in the middle part of the handle and partially encloses the groove, allowing the cat to clean its teeth by holding the cleaning component in its mouth;

[0010] The cleaning component is wrapped around a sliding component fixed in the middle of the handle, and one end of the sliding component extends into a brushing component for cleaning cat teeth.

[0011] Furthermore, the handle is provided with two sets of symmetrical sliding grooves. The sliding assembly includes a sliding block that slides in the sliding groove and an arc-shaped push plate fixed on the sliding block. The push plate partially encloses the groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the brushing assembly includes two sets of metal wires fixedly connected to the end of the push plate, with bristles between the two sets of metal wires, and the bristles are formed into an inverted U-shape after the two metal wires are twisted and folded.

[0013] Furthermore, the push plate and the spring are fixedly connected by a push block, which extends into the groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the upper end of the groove is provided with a through hole for easy hanging.

[0015] Furthermore, the bristles are made of one of animal bristles, polypropylene, nylon, or PET composite materials, and their length is fixed at 5-10 mm.

[0016] Furthermore, the distance between the two sets of metal wires is 1 cm, and the height difference between the metal wires and the top of the bristles is 2-3 cm.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model using the above structure are as follows: It is a dental cleaning tool suitable for cats. The front groove acts as a treat bait to lure the cat, causing it to actively and continuously gnaw on the brush head, thus thoroughly cleaning its teeth. The bait is prevented from easily falling out while the cat is gnawing on the brush head, thereby reducing or avoiding its consumption. Then, the cleaning components are used to repeatedly brush the cat's upper, lower, front, and back molars to achieve a cleaning effect. Attached Figure Description

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 :

[0025] An easy-to-use interactive cat toothbrush includes a handle 1, one end of which has a snack holder 2 embedded in it. The upper end of the snack holder 2 also has a through hole 14 for easy hanging. It also includes: a spring 3, which extends from the inside of the snack holder 2 and is parallel to the snack holder 2, with a gap between the spring 3 and the top of the snack holder 2; and a cleaning component 4, which slides in the middle part of the handle 1 and partially wraps around the snack holder 2. The cat can clean its teeth by holding the cleaning component 4 in its mouth. The cleaning component 4 wraps around a sliding component 41 fixed in the middle of the handle 1, and one end of the sliding component 41 extends into a brushing component 42 for cleaning the cat's teeth.

[0026] When using, hold handle 1 and place the treat inside the entire slot 2. The treat may be higher than the depth of the slot 2. Under the action of spring 3, the cleaning component 4 pushes the treat towards the top of the slot 2, and together with the top of the slot 2, locks the treat in place. After enticing the cat, the cat will take the front end of the slot 2 and the treat inside into its mouth. The cleaning component 4 will also be taken into the cat's mouth. During the feeding process, the cleaning component 4 will continuously rub against the cat's upper, lower, front, and back molars, thereby achieving the cleaning purpose.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 :

[0028] The handle 1 is also provided with two sets of symmetrical sliding grooves 11. The sliding component 41 includes a sliding block 12 that slides in the sliding groove 11 and an arc-shaped push plate 412 fixed on the sliding block 12. The push plate 412 partially encloses the groove 2. The push plate 412 and the spring 3 are fixedly connected by a push block 43. The push block 43 extends into the groove 2.

[0029] The brushing assembly 42 includes two sets of metal wires 421 fixedly connected to the end of the push plate 412. Brush bristles 422 are provided between the two sets of metal wires 421. After the two sets of metal wires 421 are twisted and folded, the brush bristles 422 form an inverted U-shape. The distance between the two sets of metal wires 421 is 1cm, and the height difference between the metal wires 421 and the top of the brush bristles 422 is 2-3cm. The hair of the brush bristles 422 is made of one of animal bristles, polypropylene, nylon, or PET composite materials, and its length is fixed at 5-10mm.

[0030] During cleaning, push the push plate 412, which slides in the groove 11. At the same time, the metal wire 421 and the bristles 422 move with the push plate 412, thereby changing the position of the part held by the cat in the cat's mouth, and completing the purpose of continuous friction cleaning of the cat's upper, lower, front and back molars.

[0031] 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.
