Detailed Implementation

[0030] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0031] Example

[0032] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a cat scratching post that can be combined with a picture frame includes a cat scratching post body and a picture frame 4. The cat scratching post body includes a surface layer 1, a main board 2, and a base 3. The surface layer 1 covers the main board 2 and is used for cats to scratch. The base 3 has a mounting groove 301, and the main board 2, covered by the surface layer 1, is embedded in the mounting groove 301 of the base 3. The picture frame 4 is detachably installed on the periphery of the cat scratching post body. After use, the cat scratching post body and the picture frame 4 can be combined to make the cat scratching post a work of art for collection and display.

[0033] In one embodiment, the picture frame 4 is detachably connected to the cat scratching board body by a snap-fit ​​mechanism; the inner edge of the picture frame 4 is provided with a protruding first retaining ring 401, and a plurality of protruding retaining tongues 402 are provided above the first retaining ring 401, with a retaining gap 404 between the retaining tongues 402 and the first retaining ring 401; the outer edge of the base 3 is provided with a protruding second retaining ring 303, and a plurality of grooves 304 are provided on the second retaining ring 303; the second retaining ring 303 matches the retaining gap 404, and the retaining tongues 402 match the grooves 304. During installation, insert the cat scratching post body into the picture frame 4 from top to bottom. During insertion, a downward force needs to be applied to the cat scratching post body so that the second retaining ring 303 on the base 3 passes over the retaining tongue 402 and engages in the retaining gap 404. Thus, the upper edge of the second retaining ring 303 is limited by the retaining tongue 402, and the lower edge of the second retaining ring 303 is locked by the first retaining ring 401, thereby securing the cat scratching post body to the picture frame 4. When disassembly is required, push the second retaining ring 303 upwards forcefully so that it passes over the retaining tongue 402, allowing the cat scratching post body to separate from the picture frame 4.

[0034] In one embodiment, the depth of the groove 304 is less than the width of the second retaining ring 303, and the width of the retaining tongue 402 is designed to be less than the width of the first retaining ring 401. This makes it easier for the second retaining ring 303 to pass over the retaining tongue 402 when the cat scratching board is installed from top to bottom, but it is not easy for the second retaining ring 303 to pass over the first retaining ring 401, thereby making the connection between the cat scratching board and the picture frame 4 stable. After installation, the second retaining ring 303 is locked in the retaining gap 404, and the retaining tongue 402 is placed on the groove 304.

[0035] In another embodiment, the upper surface of the latch 402 is designed to be arc-shaped, so that when the cat scratcher is installed from top to bottom, the second retaining ring 303 can easily pass over the latch 402 along the arc and then snap into the retaining gap 404. In another embodiment, the first retaining ring 401 corresponding to the lower part of the latch 402 is provided with a break 403. The design of the break 403 makes it easy to apply force to the second retaining ring 303 directly through the break 403 when disassembling the picture frame.

[0036] The contact surface between the picture frame 4 and the base 3 is inclined, with the inclination angle α ranging from 45° to 90°. Preferably, the inclination angle α ranges from 60° to 90°. This inclination angle design also facilitates the installation of the cat scratching board body from top to bottom.

[0037] The mounting slot 301 is provided with several support members 302, each of which has the same height and the height of the support member 302 does not exceed the depth of the mounting slot 301. The motherboard 2, covered by the surface layer 1, is mounted on each of the support members 302, and a cavity is formed between the motherboard 2 covered by the surface layer 1 and the mounting slot 301. During installation, the motherboard 2 covered by the surface layer 1 is placed in the mounting slot 301 of the base 3, and the motherboard 2 is supported on each of the support members 302 below, thereby forming a cavity between the motherboard 2 and the mounting slot 301. When the cat scratches the scratching post, the hollow structure 201 on the motherboard 2 can produce a sound effect, and the existence of the cavity makes the produced sound more resonant and the effect better.

[0038] The surface layer 1 comprises at least two layers of fabric, each layer having the same or different material and color. Each layer of fabric can be selected with strong contrast or good matching colors, and tearing it will reveal the inner layer of fabric, enhancing the visual effect of the superimposed layers.

[0039] The motherboard 2 has several hollow structures 201; the dimensions of each hollow structure 201 on the motherboard 2 may be the same or different. The design of the hollow structures 201 on the motherboard 2 makes a sound when the cat's paws scratch the scratching post. Different shapes and sizes of the hollow structures 201 can produce different sounds when scratching, and in conjunction with the rhythm of scratching, a melody can be formed, increasing the cat's interest in scratching and making it more creative.

[0040] One end of the base 3 is provided with a hanging hole 306; the base is provided with a plurality of suction cup mounting holes 305, which are used to install suction cups. In use, the cat scratching board body can be mounted on a wall or cabinet surface through the hanging hole 306 or suction cups (not shown) to increase the stability of the cat scratching board.

[0041] The motherboard 2 has a chip slot, in which an identification chip 202 is installed. Each cat scratching board is equipped with an identification chip 202, which can sense and identify mobile devices such as mobile phones, and retrieve audio, pictures, videos and other data stored in the corresponding cloud account.

[0042] In the aforementioned cat scratching board, the mainboard 2 is first covered by the surface layer 1, and then the covered mainboard 2 is embedded into the mounting groove 301 of the base 3 to obtain the main body of the cat scratching board. During the covering process, the surface layer 1 and the edge of the mainboard 2 are fixed together using adhesive or other methods; the covered mainboard 2 can also be fixed to the edge of the mounting groove 301 using adhesive or other methods, or it can be directly embedded into the mounting groove 301 without further fixation. The fixed installation method increases the safety and stability of the cat scratching board, preventing the mainboard from falling off during scratching; while the unfixed method increases the flexibility of the cat scratching board. When the surface layer 1 is damaged or the mainboard 2 is broken, the base 3 can be retained, and only the surface layer 1 or the mainboard 2 needs to be replaced, reducing usage costs. The above two fixed or unfixed methods can be selected according to actual production needs, and both are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0043] During daily use, the main body of the cat scratching board can be fixed to a relatively sturdy surface such as a wall or cabinet using the hanging holes 306 or suction cups. Due to the hollow structure 201 on the main body, it will make a sound when the cat scratches, which can increase the cat's interest in using it. The multi-layered fabric surface layer 1 will break after a period of scratching, forming a very casual stacked effect with a strong artistic feel. The cat scratching board that is no longer in use can be combined with a picture frame 4. The type and color of the picture frame 4 can also be appropriately matched with the color of the cat scratching board surface layer to form an artwork with aesthetic and collectible value. In this embodiment, only the method of combination by locking is listed. Other combination methods with similar functions and structures are also within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0044] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also fall within the scope of the present utility model. The patent protection scope of the present utility model should be defined by the claims.
