Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet supplies technology, and in particular to a toy ball for pet dogs. Background Technology
[0002] Pet balls are made of safe and environmentally friendly materials such as rubber, plush, and TPR, and come in various shapes, sizes, and textures. These toys are highly effective, satisfying dogs' natural instincts to chase and chew, allowing them to release energy, reducing destructive behavior, and strengthening the bond between owners and dogs while playing fetch games, thus improving the dog's obedience.
[0003] Dog toy balls are mostly made of materials such as rubber and plush, based on dogs' instincts and physical characteristics. Their smooth or textured surfaces and rounded shapes stimulate dogs' instincts to chase and hunt when they roll. The elastic material can bounce after being impacted, changing the trajectory of the ball and continuously attracting the dog's attention. This allows dogs to gain satisfaction from chasing, chewing, and retrieving the ball, while also releasing energy and exercising through interaction with it.
[0004] However, some existing pet dog toy balls require manual throwing to move and cannot operate autonomously. Most toy balls rely on external intervention—human throwing—to gain initial kinetic energy and thus move. Once the applied force is absent, the toy ball remains stationary and cannot operate autonomously through its structural design or built-in mechanisms. This not only limits the autonomy and continuity of a dog's play but also places high demands on the owner's involvement. When the owner is unavailable, the toy ball fails to stimulate the dog's interest, significantly diminishing its entertainment function and failing to fully meet the dog's daily activity and entertainment needs. Therefore, this paper proposes a pet dog toy ball to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a toy ball for pet dogs, aiming to improve the problem that existing toy balls for pet dogs require manual throwing to move and cannot operate autonomously.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a toy ball for pet dogs, comprising a first outer shell, a second outer shell fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first outer shell, a first rotating shell rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top end of the first outer shell, a first protective shell fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first rotating shell, a driving block fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first protective shell, a second protective shell fixedly connected to the outer bottom end of the driving block, a second rotating shell fixedly connected to the outer bottom end of the second protective shell, and a vibration damping component fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top end of the first outer shell.
[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution: the vibration damping component includes a connecting ring, the outer side of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the outer shell one, a plurality of contraction columns one are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting ring, a vibration damping pad one is fixedly connected to the adjacent side of the plurality of contraction columns one, and a spring one is sleeved on the outer side of each of the plurality of contraction columns one.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution: the adjacent sides of the plurality of vibration damping pads one are fixedly connected to the top outside of the rotating shell one, and the distant sides of the plurality of vibration damping pads two are fixedly connected to the top outside of the rotating shell one.
[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution: the bottom inner wall of the outer shell one has a sliding groove, and the outer surfaces of the plurality of vibration damping pads two are slidably connected to the top inner wall of the outer shell one.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution: the inner wall of the connecting ring has multiple grooves, and the outer surfaces of multiple vibration damping pads are slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting ring.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, when the drive block is running, it drives rotating shell one and rotating shell two to rotate synchronously. The rotation of rotating shell one and rotating shell two is fixedly connected, which further drives outer shell one and outer shell two to roll, thereby achieving the effect that the toy ball can run autonomously without human throwing, effectively improving the fun and interactivity of pet dogs playing, and freeing up the time and energy of pet owners.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, when the outer shell 1 and the outer shell 2 collide, rotating the outer shell 1 drives the vibration damping pad 1 and the vibration damping pad 2 to move synchronously, squeezing the contraction column 1, the contraction column 2 and the external spring 1 and spring 2. The contraction column 1 and spring 1 are limited by the sliding groove on the inner wall of the connecting ring, and together with the contraction column 2 and spring 2, they absorb the impact force through elastic deformation, thereby realizing the vibration damping protection of the internal drive components of the toy ball, reducing the risk of structural damage caused by movement collisions, and extending the service life.

[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides an embodiment of a pet dog toy ball, comprising a shell 1, with a second shell 2 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first shell 1. The second shell 2 is tightly connected to the bottom end of the first shell 1, effectively preventing dust, moisture, and other impurities from entering the device. A rotating shell 3 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top end of the first shell 1. The top end of the rotating shell 3 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top end of the first shell 1 via a high-precision bearing. The bearing adopts a sealed design, effectively preventing lubricating oil leakage and the entry of external impurities. A protective shell 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating shell 3. The protective shell 4 has a multi-layered internal structure, effectively protecting the internal drive block 5 from external influences and ensuring the stable operation of the drive block 5.
[0025] A drive block 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of protective shell 4. As the core power component of the device, drive block 5 is tightly connected to the inner wall of protective shell 4 via bolts, and integrates high-performance motors, controllers, and sensors. A second protective shell 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of drive block 5. Protective shell 6, through its secure connection to the bottom of drive block 5, provides excellent impact and pressure resistance. A second rotating shell 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of protective shell 6. Rotating shell 7, through its tight connection to the bottom of protective shell 6, transmits the power output from drive block 5 to external working parts. A vibration damping assembly is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of outer shell 1.
[0026] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The vibration damping assembly includes a connecting ring 8, which is externally and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the outer shell 1. The connecting ring 8 acts as an intermediate carrier, efficiently and stably transmitting the vibration and impact forces borne by the outer shell 1 to the vibration damping components such as the contraction columns 10 and 12, enabling the vibration damping assembly to function. Multiple contraction columns 10 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting ring 8. When the device vibrates, the contraction columns 10 can expand and contract according to the vibration amplitude, absorbing vibration energy through their own expansion and contraction, reducing the transmission of vibration to other components, and playing a preliminary vibration damping role.
[0027] Multiple contraction columns 10 are fixedly connected to adjacent sides with vibration damping pads 11. When the contraction columns 10 transmit vibration, the vibration damping pads 11 absorb and dissipate vibration energy through their own elastic deformation, reducing the vibration amplitude. Each contraction column 10 is externally fitted with a spring 9. When vibration compresses the contraction column 10, the spring 9 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When the vibration weakens, the spring 9 releases its potential energy to push the contraction column 10 back to its original position, ensuring that the contraction columns 10 can continuously and effectively cope with vibrations of different intensities, thus enhancing the vibration damping effect.
[0028] Multiple contraction columns 12 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the outer shell 10. These contraction columns 12 transmit the vibration of the outer shell 10 to the damping pads 14, absorbing some of the vibration energy through their own expansion and contraction, thus playing an auxiliary role in vibration damping. Together with the contraction columns 10, they form a multi-dimensional vibration damping system. Damping pads 14 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the multiple contraction columns 12. The damping pads 14 are tightly connected to the contraction columns 12. After the contraction columns 12 transmit vibration, they absorb the vibration energy through their own elastic deformation, further reducing the vibration intensity, and also isolating the vibration transmission between components. Springs 13 are fitted onto the outside of each of the multiple contraction columns 12. When the contraction columns 12 expand or contract due to vibration, the springs 13 compress or extend, storing and releasing elastic potential energy to assist the contraction columns 12 in vibration damping and resetting.
[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 3 Multiple vibration damping pads 11 are fixedly connected to the outer top of the rotating shell 3 on their adjacent sides. Through the even distribution of these pads, vibrations from the rotating shell 3 can be buffered and absorbed from multiple angles, effectively reducing the impact of vibrations on the overall stability of the device. Multiple vibration damping pads 14 are fixedly connected to the outer top of the rotating shell 3 on their distal sides. When the rotating shell 3 is in operation, the vibration damping pads 14 absorb vibration energy from different directions, working synergistically with the vibration damping pads 11 to further enhance the suppression of vibrations in the rotating shell 3, ensuring the smooth operation of the rotating shell 3 and reducing noise and wear caused by vibration.
[0030] The inner wall of the bottom of the outer shell 1 has a groove, the size and shape of which are adapted to the outer contour of the vibration damping pad 14, providing sliding guidance for the vibration damping pad 14. Multiple vibration damping pads 14 are externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the top of the outer shell 1. When the rotating shell 3 vibrates, the vibration damping pads 14 can slide within the groove, converting vibration energy into their own sliding kinetic energy, and then dissipating this kinetic energy as heat through friction with the inner wall of the groove. Multiple grooves are formed on the inner wall of the connecting ring 8. These grooves provide a precise sliding track for the vibration damping pad 11, ensuring that the vibration damping pad 11 can slide along a preset direction when absorbing vibration, enhancing the stability and reliability of the vibration damping pad 11. Multiple vibration damping pads 11 are externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting ring 8. When the vibration of the rotating shell 3 is transmitted to the vibration damping pad 11, the vibration damping pad 11 can slide within the groove, absorbing vibration energy through its own elastic deformation and sliding friction.
[0031] Multiple springs 9 are externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting ring 8. When the damping pad 11 is vibrated and causes the contraction column 10 to extend or retract, the springs 9 compress or extend accordingly, storing and releasing energy through elastic deformation, thus playing a buffering and resetting role. They work in conjunction with the damping pad 11 and the contraction column 10 to further enhance the vibration damping effect. Multiple springs 13 are externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the top of the outer shell 1. When the vibration weakens, the springs 13 push the contraction column 12 to reset, ensuring that the damping pad 14 is always in the optimal working position. The bottom end of the rotating shell 3 is fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating shell 7. This fixed connection makes the rotating shell 3 and the rotating shell 7 form a stable rotating whole, which can stably transmit the power from the drive block 5 from the rotating shell 3 to the rotating shell 7, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of power transmission. The top end of the protective shell 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the protective shell 4. The fixed connection between the protective shell 6 and the protective shell 4 effectively prevents dust and impurities from entering the interior.
[0032] The inner wall of the bottom end of outer shell 2 has a slot, the inner wall of which is hardened to improve wear resistance. The slot design provides precise positioning and support for the installation and rotation of rotating shell 7, allowing it to rotate stably within the slot while limiting its axial movement, ensuring positional accuracy during operation and guaranteeing the stability of the device. The bottom end of rotating shell 7 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of outer shell 2. This rotatable connection allows rotating shell 7 to rotate flexibly within outer shell 2, outputting the power transmitted by drive block 5 to the outside of the device. Simultaneously, the slot's limiting effect on rotating shell 7 ensures stability during rotation, reducing vibration and noise caused by rotation, and improving the overall performance of the device. The bottom end of rotating shell 7 also has similar vibration damping components.
[0033] Working principle: The toy ball operates autonomously without manual throwing by a transmission structure driven by drive block 5, which drives rotating shell 3 and rotating shell 7 to roll the outer shell. Drive block 5 rotates protective shell 4 and protective shell 6 synchronously. The rotation of protective shell 4 and protective shell 6 drives rotating shell 3 and rotating shell 7. The rotation of rotating shell 3 and rotating shell 7, through the engagement of the slot with outer shell 2, causes outer shell 1 and outer shell 2 to roll, thus enabling the toy ball to operate autonomously without manual throwing. This effectively enhances the fun and interactivity of playing with pet dogs, freeing up the time and energy of pet owners.
[0034] When a pet dog plays with a toy ball, the vibration generated by the movement of outer shell 1 and outer shell 2 causes the rotation of outer shell 3 to drive the synchronous movement of damping pad 11 and damping pad 14. Damping pad 11 compresses contraction column 10 and spring 9, while damping pad 14 compresses contraction column 12 and spring 13. Contraction column 10 and spring 9 slide and buffer within the groove of connecting ring 8, while contraction column 12 and spring 13 buffer within the groove of outer shell 1. This provides vibration damping protection for the internal drive components of the toy ball, reduces the risk of structural damage caused by collisions, and extends its service life.

Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
