Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0045] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," "connection," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0046] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The first embodiment of this utility model provides a pet chasing device 100, including a blocking structure 1 and a conveying structure. The conveying structure is located on one side of the blocking structure 1. The conveying structure includes a driving component, a transmission component, and a conveyor belt. The driving component and the transmission component are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the blocking structure 1. The conveyor belt is provided with an attractant for attracting pets. The blocking structure 1 has a receiving space 11, and the conveyor belt is located in the receiving space 11.

[0047] Understandably, the pet chasing device provided by this utility model, by setting up a shielding structure 1 and a conveyor structure, with a lure provided on the conveyor belt of the conveyor structure and located within the accommodating space 11 of the shielding structure 1, allows the pet to chase the lure within the relatively enclosed space formed by the shielding structure 1. On the one hand, this can stimulate the pet's natural instinct to move, allowing it to exercise and maintain its vitality and health; on the other hand, the shielding structure 1 can create a dedicated chasing environment, allowing the pet to focus more on the chasing behavior and enhancing its entertainment experience. At the same time, it can also avoid external interference to a certain extent, allowing the pet to move around in a relatively safe and stable environment.

[0048] Specifically, the conveyor belt 29 is ring-shaped, the transmission component 23 and the drive component 22 are located inside the conveyor belt 29 and the conveyor belt 29 is in a taut state, and the entrapment component 28 is sleeved on the side of the conveyor belt 29 away from the shielding structure 1. The entrapment component 28 moves between the transmission component 23 and the drive component 22 under the action of the drive component 22.

[0049] In one implementation, the drive member 22 and the transmission member 23 are connected by the conveyor belt 29. The lure member 28 has a fixed ring at its end, which is sleeved on the conveyor belt 29. The side of the fixed ring that mates with the conveyor belt 29 is rough. When the drive member 22 drives the conveyor belt 29 to move, the lure member 28 moves with the conveyor belt 29 through the friction between the fixed ring and the conveyor belt 29, thereby attracting cats and other pets to chase and bite.

[0050] It should be further explained that when the lure 28 moves to contact the transmission component 23 or the drive component 22 under the action of the conveyor belt 29, the lure 28 will not continue to move through the transmission component 23 or the drive component 22 due to the obstruction of the transmission component 23 or the drive component 22, so as to avoid the lure 28 getting tangled on the transmission component 23 or the drive component 22 and affecting the normal operation of the conveying structure 2.

[0051] Specifically, the lure 28 can be a small part that can attract the cat's attention, such as a silicone strip, feather, or plush ball. Its specific shape, material, color, etc. can be further designed according to actual needs.

[0052] Preferably, the lure 28 can also be equipped with light components, audio components, scent release components, etc., to provide multi-sensory stimulation to the pet and stimulate the pet's interest in chasing.

[0053] Optionally, the shielding structure 1 can be set as a cylindrical structure, cuboid, sphere, various animal images, building shapes, etc., as long as it can provide shielding for the transmission structure. There are no restrictions on its shape, color, material, etc., and it can be set according to actual needs.

[0054] Furthermore, the shielding structure 1 is a rigid structure, and the driving component and the transmission component are directly fixed to the shielding structure 1.

[0055] Understandably, the rigid shielding structure 1 can provide stable and reliable support and fixation; and the high strength and high stability of the rigid structure itself can ensure that the transmission structure will not affect the normal use of the pet chasing device due to its own deformation or other factors during operation, ensuring the stability of the movement trajectory of the lure, allowing the pet to smoothly carry out chasing activities, avoiding situations where the pet is frightened or has a poor chasing experience due to device instability, extending the service life of the device, and ensuring its continuous and stable performance.

[0056] Optionally, when the shielding structure 1 is a rigid structure, it can be made of rigid plastic, wood, metal, felt, or other materials.

[0057] Furthermore, the shielding structure 1 is a flexible structure, and the transmission structure includes a support rod, a driving component, and a transmission component fixed at both ends of the support rod along its length.

[0058] Understandably, the shielding structure 1 is designed to be flexible, and a support rod is introduced to fix the drive and transmission components. This design allows the pet chasing device to have better flexibility and adaptability while possessing basic functions. The flexible shielding structure 1 can be bent and adjusted according to the actual use space and the pet's size and activity needs to adapt to different placement environments and usage scenarios. For example, it can be well placed in different corners of the home and rooms with different layouts. The support rod provides stable support for the transmission structure, ensuring its normal operation. At the same time, the combination of the support rod and the flexible shielding structure 1 also makes it easy to store or carry after use, increasing the portability of the device and making it convenient for pet owners to provide chasing entertainment for their pets in different locations.

[0059] Optionally, the shielding structure 1 can be made of wear-resistant, lightweight, flexible materials, such as fabric, leather, soft PVC, elastic fiber, etc., as long as it can be folded for easy storage. The flexible shielding structure 1 can cushion the impact generated when the pet plays in the storage space 11, providing the pet with a comfortable and safe activity space.

[0060] Furthermore, the shielding structure 1 includes a support structure, which is wrapped around the shielding structure 1 to form a hollow channel.

[0061] Understandably, by wrapping the support structure around the shielding structure 1 to form a hollow channel, the overall stability of the shielding structure 1 can be further enhanced, allowing it to maintain its shape during use and not easily deform, thus providing a stable chasing channel for pets. This also increases the functionality and versatility of the shielding structure 1. The hollow channel design allows pets to freely move and chase within it, satisfying their desire for exploration and exercise, enriching their activity experience. It also makes it convenient to store and organize when needed, improving space utilization and allowing the pet chasing device to be stored more space-efficiently when not in use.

[0062] In some embodiments, the shielding structure 1 forms a cylindrical structure under the support of the supporting structure, and the cylindrical structure is provided with an opening, through which multiple pet chasing devices 100 can be connected to form a larger pet chasing device 100 with more complex pathways through the openings 13 at their ends.

[0063] Furthermore, the support structure 12 is spirally wound around the shielding structure 1, and the support structure 12 is elastic.

[0064] In one implementation, the support structure 12 is made of metal wire, which is spirally sewn onto the shielding structure 1 to form a fixed channel. The spirally wound support structure 12 forms a spring-like mechanical system, which can provide cushioning to ensure the stability of the channel when the shielding structure 1 is subjected to external pressure or pet collision. The spiral winding allows the shielding structure 1 to be twisted or bent to a certain extent when necessary to adapt to different placement spaces, improving its flexibility and practicality. The radial tension of the elastic support can maintain the annular cross-sectional shape of the shielding structure 1, so that even if the shielding structure 1 is twisted or bent, the pet can still move freely in it. Secondly, when storage is required, the volume of the shielding structure 1 can be reduced by compressing the elastic support structure 12, reducing the storage space required for the pet chasing device 100 and improving the portability of storage.

[0065] Furthermore, the support rod is detachably connected to the shielding structure 1, and the support rod is telescopic or foldable.

[0066] Understandably, this design greatly improves the convenience and practicality of the pet chasing device; the detachable connection allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the support rod when needed, facilitating cleaning of the shielding structure 1 or individual maintenance of each component of the device. It also makes it easy to disassemble the device into smaller parts during transportation or carrying, reducing space occupation; while the telescopic or foldable function of the support rod allows for flexible adjustment of its length or shape according to actual usage needs, adapting to pets of different sizes and different usage scenarios, enhancing the device's versatility and adaptability, and meeting the usage requirements of pet owners in different situations.

[0067] Furthermore, a positioning hole is provided on one side of the shielding structure 1, and the support rod is fixed to the shielding structure 1 through the positioning hole.

[0068] Understandably, the support rod is fixed through positioning holes, a simple, quick, and secure method. The positioning holes allow the support rod to be quickly and accurately positioned during installation, eliminating the need for complex alignment and installation tools. This makes it easy for pet owners to assemble and disassemble the pet chasing device themselves, lowering the barrier to entry and increasing ease of use. At the same time, the positioning holes provide excellent positioning for the support rod, ensuring it does not shift or wobble during use. This guarantees the stable operation of the transmission structure, allowing pets to chase safely and smoothly, thus improving the device's reliability and stability.

[0069] As a feasible implementation, the positioning hole is located outside the accommodating space 11, and the support rod 21 is fixed outside the accommodating space 11 through the positioning hole 16, so that the user can install the support rod 21 onto or remove it from the shielding structure 1 without opening the accommodating space 11, thereby improving the convenience of installing and removing the shielding structure 1 and the support rod.

[0070] As another feasible implementation, the shielding structure 1 is provided with multiple positioning holes 16, and the axes of adjacent positioning holes 16 are at an angle. By folding the support rod 21 and inserting it into different positioning holes 16, the accommodating space 11 presents a preset bending or twisting angle. Users can quickly adjust the position and number of support rods 21 according to the actual space layout and pet activity habits to create a shape suitable for pet play and improve the practicality of the pet chasing device 100.

[0071] In other embodiments, each positioning hole 16 is provided with a support rod 21, and adjacent support rods 21 are at an angle, so that the accommodating space 11 is stable and presents a preset bending or torsion angle.

[0072] Furthermore, please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 The support rod 21 is set parallel and / or inclined along the length direction of the shielding structure 1.

[0073] Understandably, the way the support rod 21 is set parallel or inclined along the length of the shielding structure 1 allows for flexible adjustment of the installation method of the support rod 21 according to the actual usage scenario and spatial layout, thereby improving the practicality of the product.

[0074] Please refer to the previous document. Figure 3 The conveyor belt 29 is arranged parallel to the line connecting the drive member 22 and the transmission member 23, or the two transmission members 23.

[0075] Understandably, the conveyor belt 29 is arranged parallel to the line connecting the drive member 22 and the transmission member 23, or the two transmission members 23, so that the power transmission path is minimized, the risk of belt deviation and slippage during operation is reduced, the stable operation of the conveyor belt 29 is ensured, and the lure 28 can move normally to attract the pet's attention.

[0076] In one embodiment, the conveying structure 2 includes a driving member 22 and a transmission member 23. The support rod 21 is arranged along the length of the shielding structure 1. The driving member 22 and the transmission member 23 are respectively arranged at both ends of the shielding structure 1. The transmission belt is connected between the driving member 22 and the transmission member 23 and is parallel to the support rod 21. This design allows the lure 28 to move smoothly, guide the pet to move along a predetermined route, and encourage it to continuously explore and chase within the pet chasing device 100.

[0077] As another implementation method, please refer to the following: Figure 7 The conveying structure 2 includes multiple transmission components 23, which are distributed within the accommodating space 11. The transmission components 23 and the driving components 22 are connected in pairs by a conveyor belt 29 and are arranged parallel to each other along the line connecting them, ensuring that the lure 28 moves stably between the transmission components 23 and the driving components 22, or between the two transmission components 23. Furthermore, the distributed arrangement of multiple transmission components 23 divides the conveyor belt 29 into multiple segments, allowing it to move in multiple angular directions, thereby increasing the complexity of the movement trajectory of the lure 28 and enhancing its attractiveness to pets.

[0078] It should be noted that the parallel setting of the conveyor belt 29 along the line connecting the drive component 22 and the transmission component 23, or the line connecting the two transmission components 23, means approximately parallel, and a small deviation is allowed, such as a deviation angle of about ±2°.

[0079] Furthermore, the transmission structure 2 includes a connector 24, the side of which is connected to the support rod 21, and the bottom surface of which is connected to the drive member 22 or the transmission member 23.

[0080] In one embodiment, the support rod 21 is disposed outside the accommodating space 11, the connector 24 is L-shaped, and its side is axially connected to the end of the support rod 21. The shielding structure 1 and the bottom of the connector 24 are provided with connecting holes at corresponding positions. The driving member 22 and the transmission member 23 are disposed inside the accommodating space 11 and are connected to the bottom of the connector 24 through the connecting holes.

[0081] Understandably, this design effectively improves the overall stability of the conveyor structure. The L-shaped connector tightly links the support rod to the drive or transmission components, forming a more stable support frame. This ensures more even force distribution during operation, reducing the risk of malfunctions due to loose or wobbling components, and guaranteeing smoother and more stable movement of the lure, providing a better chasing experience for pets. Furthermore, the L-shaped connector design facilitates easier assembly and disassembly of each component, improving assembly and maintenance efficiency.

[0082] Furthermore, the entrapment 28 moves and / or vibrates under the action of the conveyor belt 29.

[0083] Understandably, this design greatly enhances the lure's appeal to pets; the moving lure stimulates the pet's hunting instincts, prompting it to actively chase after the prey, while the vibration simulates the prey's real movements, further attracting the pet's attention and making it feel as if it is in a real hunting scene, increasing the fun and challenge of the chase; through the moving and vibrating lure, pets can engage in longer and more intense exercise, which helps improve their physical fitness and reaction ability, while also satisfying their psychological needs, allowing them to gain more fun and a sense of accomplishment during the chase.

[0084] Please see Figure 6 It should be further explained that the drive unit 22 includes a circuit board 221, a battery 223 and a motor 222. The circuit board 221 is electrically connected to the battery 223. The battery 223 is used to supply power to the motor 222 to drive the motor 222 to rotate. The output end of the motor 222 is connected to the conveyor belt 29, thereby driving the conveyor belt 29 to move.

[0085] Specifically, the drive unit 22 is provided with a charging port 224 and a drive switch 225 on the side facing the opening 13 of the accommodating space 11, so that the user can charge the drive unit 22 and start and stop the drive unit 22.

[0086] Please refer to the previous document. Figure 4 At least one observation window 14 is provided on the accommodating space 11.

[0087] Understandably, this design provides pet owners with the convenience of observing their pets' chasing activities in real time. Through the observation window, pet owners can clearly see their pets' movement and chasing performance without interfering with the chase, so as to understand their pets' health and psychological state in a timely manner, such as whether the pets are fatigued or uncomfortable during the chase, or whether their reactions to the lure are normal. At the same time, the observation window also makes it convenient for pet owners to interact with their pets when needed, such as teasing them or giving them encouragement, which enhances the interaction and emotional communication between pets and owners. This makes the pet chasing device not only a functional tool for exercising pets' bodies, but also a bond that enhances the relationship between humans and pets.

[0088] As one embodiment, the observation window 14 is a through hole provided on the accommodating space 11 that can communicate with the outside. Pets can enter and exit the accommodating space 11 through the observation window 14. The opening 13 is reinforced to prevent pets from scratching and biting it.

[0089] As another embodiment, the observation window 14 is a closed structure, specifically made of transparent material, which allows pet owners to clearly observe the pet's activities within the containment space 11, promptly identify and address any potential problems, and enhance the safety of the product during use.

[0090] Furthermore, please refer to the following: Figure 1 The accommodating space 11 has at least one opening, and the opening is provided with a sealing element, which is detachably connected to the opening.

[0091] Understandably, this design greatly facilitates the use and maintenance of the pet chasing device; the opening allows pet owners to easily insert their hands or other tools into the containment space 11 when needed to inspect, clean, or replace components such as the conveyor belt and lure, ensuring the device's cleanliness and good operating condition; the detachable sealing component ensures the relative sealing of the containment space 11 while allowing for easy opening and closing at any time, preventing pets from accidentally entering the containment space 11 when not in use and causing danger, and also allowing for quick opening and operation when needed, making it more flexible and convenient to use, which helps extend the device's lifespan and ensure the pet's safety.

[0092] Optionally, the sealing element 15 is detachably connected to the opening via Velcro or zipper, etc.

[0093] Further, please refer to Figure 8 The transmission structure 2 includes a control module 25 and a first detection module 26. The first detection module 26 is disposed on the opening 13 and / or the observation window 14. The control module 25 is signal-connected to the first detection module 26 and the drive unit 22. When the first detection device detects that a pet has passed through, the control module 25 controls the drive unit 22 to start working.

[0094] Understandably, when the first detection module 26 detects a pet passing through the opening 13 or observation window 14, the control module 25 promptly activates the drive component 22. Through the cooperation of the first detection module 26 and the control module 25, it can intelligently sense whether a pet has entered the holding space 11 and automatically activate the conveyor structure 2 when the pet enters. This not only increases the intelligence of the product and improves the user experience, but also allows for reasonable control of the operation of the conveyor belt 29 based on the actual activity of the pet, avoiding energy waste. At the same time, this intelligent activation method works in conjunction with the design of the lure 28. When the pet is attracted into the holding space 11 by the lure 28, the conveyor belt 29 can be activated in time to further guide the pet's activity and enhance the interaction between the pet and the product.

[0095] In one implementation, the first detection module 26 is an infrared sensor, which is installed on the opening 13 and observation window 14 of the accommodating space 11. That is, all windows in the accommodating space 11 accessible to the pet are equipped with the first detection module 26. No matter where the pet enters the accommodating space 11, it can be detected. The infrared sensor detects the pet's approach signal and transmits it to the control module 25. Upon receiving the signal, the control module 25 quickly activates the drive component 22, causing the lure component 28 to move and attract the pet's attention. This intelligent design not only enhances the pet's user experience but also achieves rational energy utilization, avoiding unnecessary energy waste.

[0096] Furthermore, the transmission structure 2 includes a second detection module 27, which is disposed on the accommodating space 11. The control module 25 is signal-connected to the second detection module 27 and the driving component 22. When the second detection module 27 detects that the duration of the obstruction structure 1 being in a static state exceeds a preset value, the control module 25 controls the driving component 22 to stop working.

[0097] Understandably, the combination of the second detection module 27 and the control module 25 enables the monitoring of the status of the shielding structure 1. When the pet leaves the containment space 11 or rests in the containment space 11, i.e., when the shielding structure 1 remains stationary for too long, the conveyor belt 29 automatically stops working, avoiding continuous idling of the equipment and wasting energy, effectively saving energy and extending the service life of the equipment. Through the combination of the second detection module 27 and the control module 25, the conveyor belt 29 can start and stop in a timely manner according to the pet's activity needs, improving the intelligence level of the equipment, as well as the practicality and economy of the product.

[0098] In one implementation, the second detection module 27 is a displacement sensor. When the second detection module 27 is used to monitor the motion state of the blocking structure 1, if it does not detect any change in the displacement of the blocking structure 1, that is, when the blocking structure 1 remains stationary for a longer than a preset time, the control module 25 controls the drive component 22 to stop working, so as to avoid it from continuing to perform invalid work and causing waste of resources.

[0099] In a preferred embodiment, the second detection module 27 is a gravity sensor. When the third detection module detects a change in the gravity acting on the inner wall of the accommodating space 11, it should be understood that when a pet enters the accommodating space 11 from the outside or starts moving from a stationary position within the accommodating space 11, it is easy for the pet to come into contact with the inner wall of the accommodating space 11, thereby causing a change in the gravity acting on the inner wall of the accommodating space 11. At this time, the control module 25 controls the drive component 22 to start, ensuring that the lure component 28 can respond to the pet's activities in a timely manner and maintain the cat's entertainment experience.

[0100] Furthermore, please refer to the following: Figure 6 The driver 22 is equipped with a sound module 226.

[0101] Understandably, the sound module 226 can simulate various animal calls or natural sounds to attract the pet's attention and stimulate its curiosity and desire to explore. This not only enhances the interaction between the pet and the pet chasing device 100, but also effectively increases the pet's activity level, allowing the pet to gain more fun and stimulation during play. Through this design, a richer sensory experience is brought to the pet.

[0102] As one implementation method, the accommodating space 11 is also equipped with a lighting module. The lighting module can simulate natural light or emit a soft glow, creating a more natural environment that makes pets feel more comfortable and secure when they move around in it, helping to alleviate their anxiety, especially at night or in dimly lit environments, providing them with an extra sense of security. Secondly, the lighting module can work in conjunction with the lure 28 through flashing, color changing, etc., to further attract the pet's attention, stimulate their curiosity and desire to explore, and allow the pet to have more fun while chasing the light and the lure 28, enhancing the interaction between the pet and the tunnel. In addition, the lighting module can also make it easier for the owner to observe the pet's activities to a certain extent. Even in low-light environments, the owner can clearly see the pet's behavior in the tunnel, better meeting the owner's need to pay attention to the pet.

[0103] This design adds new vitality and practicality to the pet chasing device 100, enhancing the overall performance and user experience of the product.

[0104] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
