Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cat climbing frames, and more specifically, to a fun cat climbing frame with a rotating structure. Background Technology

[0002] Cat trees are important tools for cats to play, sharpen their claws, and rest. A good cat tree can reduce furniture damage and satisfy the cat's natural needs. As people continue to study the habits of cats, there are more and more types of cat trees. In order to satisfy the cat's habit of climbing, many cat trees are set relatively high to adapt to the cat's climbing behavior.

[0003] In existing technologies, many cat trees are designed with a main shaft and a base as the main structure. However, the two are fixedly connected, which causes the cat tree to lose its active movement function. This reduces the fun of the whole device, and over time, cats will lose interest, thus reducing the overall practicality of the cat tree. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a fun cat tree with a rotating structure. It can rotate as a whole, and then use the rotation to drive objects such as cat toys to rotate automatically, thereby increasing the cat tree's playability for cats. Furthermore, its rotating structure makes it easier for users to rotate and change the angle, preventing the creation of unsanitary corners when placed in a corner, and further improving the practicality of the device.

[0006] 2. Technical Solution

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0008] A fun cat climbing frame with a rotating structure includes a base, a main shaft rotatably mounted on the top of the base, a protective cover fixedly mounted on the upper end of the main shaft, a fixed plate fixedly mounted on the surface of the main shaft below the protective cover, several step plates fixedly mounted on the surface of the main shaft, support seats fixedly mounted on both the left and right sides of the base, an installation groove opened in the middle of the base, a motor fixedly mounted inside the base, and a drive gear fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the motor.

[0009] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad is fixedly installed on the top surface of the step plate, and a hanging ring is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the step plate. Several step plates are arranged equidistantly along a spiral line on the outer wall of the main shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, a cat toy is wound and installed around the bottom end of the hanging ring.

[0011] Furthermore, a limiting tube is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the main shaft, and a driven gear is fixedly installed in the middle of the limiting tube. The limiting tube is rotatably installed inside the mounting groove, and the driven gear meshes with the driving gear inside the mounting groove.

[0012] Furthermore, a support cover is fixedly installed on the surface of the spindle above the limiting tube, and the bottom surface of the support cover is attached to the top surface of the base.

[0013] Furthermore, a cat scratching plate is fixedly installed on the outer side of the support base, and a through groove is opened on the side of the support base.

[0014] 3. Beneficial effects

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0016] (1) This solution utilizes a support base to allow cats to sharpen their claws, and utilizes a through slot to effectively meet the cats' hiding and darting behavior patterns, thus improving the overall practicality of the device. In addition, it also provides support and reinforcement for the overall cat climbing frame.

[0017] (2) This solution utilizes the fact that the main shaft can rotate at the top of the base to enable it to rotate, thereby enabling the cat tree to change position quickly, making it convenient for users to clean the corners. In addition, it can also use a cat teaser to automatically tease the cat, further enhancing the overall fun of the cat tree. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," "sleeved / connected," "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] Please see Figure 1-3 A fun cat climbing frame with a rotating structure includes a base 1, a main shaft 3 rotatably mounted on the top of the base 1, a protective cover 5 fixedly mounted on the upper end of the main shaft 3, a fixed plate 4 fixedly mounted on the surface of the main shaft 3 below the protective cover 5, and several step plates 6 fixedly mounted on the surface of the main shaft 3. Support seats 2 are fixedly mounted on both the left and right sides of the base 1. An installation groove 101 is opened in the middle of the base 1. A motor 102 is fixedly mounted inside the base 1, and a drive gear 103 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft of the motor 102.

[0028] An anti-slip pad 7 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the step plate 6, and a hanging ring 8 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the step plate 6. Several step plates 6 are arranged equidistantly along a spiral line on the outer wall of the main shaft 3. A cat toy is wound around the bottom end of the hanging ring 8. A limiting tube 10 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the main shaft 3. A driven gear 11 is fixedly installed in the middle of the limiting tube 10. The limiting tube 10 is rotatably installed inside the mounting groove 101. The driven gear 11 meshes with the driving gear 103 inside the mounting groove 101. A support cover 9 is fixedly installed on the surface of the main shaft 3 above the limiting tube 10. The bottom surface of the support cover 9 is attached to the top surface of the base 1.

[0029] Specifically, the mounting slot 101 can support the rotation of the bottom of the main shaft 3, and the support cover 9 further improves the overall support effect, preventing tilting from affecting the rotation transmission. The multiple stepped plates 6 are distributed in a curve to effectively adapt to the jumping and turning behavior patterns of cats. The hanging rings 8 set at each bottom can adapt to cat toys at different heights. With the overall rotation, the automatic cat-teasing effect is achieved, further enhancing the fun of the device.

[0030] A cat scratching plate 201 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the support base 2, and a through groove 202 is opened on the side of the support base 2.

[0031] Specifically, the through slot 202 provides a space for cats to crawl, climb, and hide, catering to the needs of cats with different personalities. The scratching post 201 effectively accommodates the scratching behavior of cats, increasing the overall cat tree's reliance on cats and further enhancing the overall practicality of the device.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the user can select a suitable height of the hanging ring 8 to wrap around the cat teaser according to actual needs, and then start the motor 102 to drive the active gear 103 to rotate. When the active gear 103 rotates, it will drive the main shaft 3 to rotate through the passive gear 11. The hanging ring 8 will drive the cat teaser to rotate, realize its own rotation, and attract the cat to play. When stationary, the motor 102 can be turned off directly.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
