Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of thermoplastic elastomer technology, and more specifically it relates to a thermoplastic elastomer pet toy ball. Background Technology

[0002] Thermoplastic elastomers, also known as synthetic rubber or artificial rubber, possess the excellent properties of traditional cross-linked vulcanized rubber, such as high elasticity, aging resistance, and oil resistance, while also having the advantages of ordinary plastics, such as ease of processing and wide range of processing methods. They are often used to make pet toy balls.

[0003] Currently, Chinese patent CN222675224U discloses a pet toy ball, comprising: a first splicing block having two ends; a second splicing block having two ends, the ends of the second splicing block being attached to the two side edges of the first splicing block, and the two ends of the first splicing block being attached to the two side edges of the second splicing block. Both the first and second splicing blocks have a U-shaped cross-section; a third splicing block being attached to the first splicing block; and a fourth splicing block being attached to the second splicing block.

[0004] Existing pet toy balls similar to the one described above are simply made of multiple interlocking blocks, all of which are made of the same material. This results in poor wear resistance and affects the lifespan of the toy ball, thus leaving room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a thermoplastic elastomer pet toy ball, which has the advantage of avoiding damage to the surface of the toy ball caused by pet teeth and improving the service life of the toy ball.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a thermoplastic elastomer pet toy ball, comprising an inner core, a fixing block disposed on the outside of the inner core, a plurality of equally spaced wear-resistant ribs disposed on the outer wall of the fixing block, the plurality of wear-resistant ribs being staggered, a pressure-resistant layer disposed on the outer wall of the fixing block near the wear-resistant ribs, a buffer layer disposed on the outer wall of the pressure-resistant layer, a wear-resistant layer disposed on the outer wall of the buffer layer, a bite-resistant skin disposed on the outer wall of the wear-resistant layer, a plurality of bite-resistant blocks disposed on the outer wall of the bite-resistant skin, the bite-resistant blocks being integrally formed with the bite-resistant skin.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solutions, when pets play with the toy ball, the pressure-resistant layer can improve the strength of the toy ball and prevent it from deforming. The buffer layer can provide a good cushioning effect when the pet bites it, minimizing the biting force. The wear-resistant layer and the bite-resistant leather can provide good wear resistance, preventing the pet's teeth from damaging the surface of the toy ball and improving the service life of the toy ball.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the surface of the wear-resistant rib has an arc-shaped structure.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the surface arc structure design makes the wear-resistant rib surface smooth, reduces the friction between pet teeth and the wear-resistant rib, and improves the service life of the toy ball.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment: the outer wall of the wear-resistant layer is provided with a plurality of embedding holes, and the inner wall of the bite-resistant skin is provided with a plurality of embedding blocks, the embedding blocks being adapted to the embedding holes.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the anti-wear layer is connected to the wear-resistant layer, the insert block can enter into the insert hole, which improves the firmness of the anti-wear layer installation.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment: the embedded block has a teardrop-shaped structure and is made of an elastic material.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the teardrop-shaped structure design can easily increase the contact force between the embedded block and the embedded hole, thus preventing the embedded block from detaching from the embedded hole.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment: anti-detachment blocks are provided at both ends of the bite-resistant leather, and anti-detachment grooves are provided on the outer wall of the wear-resistant rib, with the anti-detachment blocks and anti-detachment grooves being adapted to each other.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when the anti-bite skin is connected to the wear-resistant layer, the anti-detachment block at the end of the anti-bite skin can be embedded into the anti-detachment groove, which further improves the firmness of the anti-bite skin installation.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment: the end of the anti-detachment block away from the bite-resistant skin has an arc-shaped structure.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the design with an arc-shaped structure at one end facilitates the insertion of the anti-detachment block into the anti-detachment groove, thus improving the ease of installation of the anti-bite skin.

[0018] In a preferred embodiment: both the bite-resistant skin and the wear-resistant rib are made of thermoplastic elastomer material.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solutions, the bite-resistant skin and abrasion-resistant ribs made of thermoplastic elastomer material are wear-resistant and tear-resistant, can withstand pets' long-term chewing and tearing, and have a longer service life.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. When pets play with the toy ball, the pressure-resistant layer increases the ball's strength, preventing deformation. The cushioning layer effectively absorbs the force of the bite when the pet chews, minimizing the biting force. The abrasion-resistant layer and bite-resistant leather provide excellent wear resistance, preventing damage to the toy ball's surface from the pet's teeth and extending the toy ball's lifespan.

[0022] 2. When the wear-resistant layer is connected to the abrasion-resistant layer, the insert block can enter the insertion hole, improving the stability of the wear-resistant layer installation; the teardrop-shaped design can easily increase the contact force between the insert block and the insertion hole, preventing the insert block from detaching from the insertion hole;

[0023] 3. When the anti-bite layer is connected to the wear-resistant layer, the anti-detachment block at the end of the anti-bite layer can be embedded into the anti-detachment groove, which further improves the firmness of the anti-bite layer installation; the design of one end with an arc surface structure makes it easy for the anti-detachment block to enter into the anti-detachment groove, improving the convenience of the anti-bite layer installation.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] In the description of this disclosure, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the disclosed product is in use, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly understood by those skilled in the art. They are used only for the convenience of describing this disclosure and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this disclosure.

[0031] A thermoplastic elastomer pet toy ball, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes an inner core 1, a fixing block 2 is provided on the outside of the inner core 1, and multiple wear-resistant ribs 3 are provided on the outer wall of the fixing block 2 at equal intervals. The multiple wear-resistant ribs 3 are arranged in an alternating manner. A pressure-resistant layer 4 is provided on the outer wall of the fixing block 2 near the wear-resistant ribs 3. A buffer layer 5 is provided on the outer wall of the pressure-resistant layer 4. A wear-resistant layer 6 is provided on the outer wall of the buffer layer 5. A bite-resistant skin 7 is provided on the outer wall of the wear-resistant layer 6. Multiple bite-resistant blocks 8 are provided on the outer wall of the bite-resistant skin 7. The bite-resistant blocks 8 and the bite-resistant skin 7 are integrally formed.

[0032] In this embodiment, the surface of the wear-resistant rib 3 is arc-shaped. The arc-shaped surface of the wear-resistant rib 3 makes the surface of the wear-resistant rib 3 smooth, reduces the friction between the pet's teeth and the wear-resistant rib 3, and improves the service life of the toy ball.

[0033] Furthermore, the outer wall of the wear-resistant layer 6 is provided with multiple embedding holes 9, and the inner wall of the anti-jamming layer 7 is provided with multiple embedding blocks 10. The embedding blocks 10 are adapted to the embedding holes 9. When the anti-jamming layer 7 is connected to the wear-resistant layer 6, the embedding blocks 10 can enter into the embedding holes 9, which improves the firmness of the anti-jamming layer 7 installation. The embedding blocks 10 have a teardrop-shaped structure and are made of elastic material. The teardrop-shaped structure of the embedding blocks 10 can increase the contact force between the embedding blocks 10 and the embedding holes 9, and prevent the embedding blocks 10 from detaching from the embedding holes 9.

[0034] Both ends of the bite-resistant skin 7 are provided with anti-detachment blocks 11, and the outer wall of the wear-resistant rib 3 is provided with anti-detachment grooves 12. The anti-detachment blocks 11 are adapted to the anti-detachment grooves 12. When the bite-resistant skin 7 is connected to the wear-resistant layer 6, the anti-detachment blocks 11 at the end of the bite-resistant skin 7 can be embedded into the anti-detachment grooves 12, which further improves the firmness of the bite-resistant skin 7 installation. The end of the anti-detachment block 11 away from the bite-resistant skin 7 has an arc-shaped structure. The anti-detachment block 11 with an arc-shaped structure at one end can easily enter the anti-detachment grooves 12, which improves the ease of installation of the bite-resistant skin 7.

[0035] It is worth mentioning that both the bite-resistant leather 7 and the abrasion-resistant rib 3 are made of thermoplastic elastomer material. Thermoplastic elastomer material makes the bite-resistant leather 7 and abrasion-resistant rib 3 wear-resistant and tear-resistant, able to withstand pets' long-term chewing and tearing, and has a longer service life.

[0036] The working process and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0037] When pets play with the toy ball, the pressure-resistant layer 4 can increase the strength of the toy ball and prevent it from deforming. The cushioning layer 5 can provide a good cushioning effect when the pet bites it, which can minimize the biting force. The wear-resistant layer 6 and the bite-resistant leather 7 can provide good wear resistance, prevent the pet's teeth from damaging the surface of the toy ball, and improve the service life of the toy ball.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
