Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet toy technology, and in particular to a pet toy ball. Background Technology

[0002] Pet toys are fun products designed to accompany pets and satisfy their natural needs. Common types include chew sticks, cat wands, balls, plush toys, and educational treat-dispensing toys. They can help relieve pet anxiety, promote physical and intellectual development, and are especially suitable for keeping pets entertained when alone. Materials include environmentally friendly rubber, chew-resistant canvas, and safe plastics, balancing durability and fun.

[0003] Pet toy balls are typically made of environmentally friendly rubber, plastic, or chew-resistant fabric. They feature a hollow design with a built-in bell or sound-producing device, and some contain a treat-dispensing hole or intelligent moving components. Their principle is based on pets' natural instincts to chase and chew: the sound they make when rolling or bouncing attracts attention, treat-dispensing balls release treats as they roll to encourage interaction, and automatic sensor balls stimulate hunting instincts through irregular movements.

[0004] Traditional pet toy balls require a pet or a person to push them to make them bounce and move. However, throwing the toy ball by a person increases labor costs, while having a pet push the ball reduces the fun. Therefore, a new type of pet toy ball is proposed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a pet toy ball, which aims to improve the existing technology where throwing the toy ball by a person increases labor costs, while pushing the ball by a pet reduces the fun.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A pet toy ball includes an upper PCB support and a lower PCB support. A PCBA is installed on the inner wall of the lower PCB support. A button is provided on the top of the PCBA. A counterweight is fixedly connected to the PCBA. A drive motor is installed on the inner wall of the lower PCB support. A motor gear is fixedly connected to the drive end of the drive motor. A transmission gear is rotatably connected to the bottom of the lower PCB support. The motor gear and the transmission gear are meshed. A round shaft pin is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transmission gear. The upper PCB support is connected to the lower PCB support by fasteners.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] An upper main body bracket is installed on the outside of the upper PCB bracket, and a lower main body bracket is installed on the outside of the lower PCB bracket. The bottom of the round shaft pin is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower main body bracket.

[0011] The upper main support and the lower main support are provided with golf silicone sleeves on their exteriors, and the top of the upper main support is provided with silicone buttons;

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A polymer battery is installed on the inner wall of the lower PCB bracket, and the polymer battery is electrically connected to the drive motor.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In this invention, a nine-axis sensor and intelligent algorithm generate a biological-like motion trajectory, effectively stimulating the pet's hunting instinct. The IP67 sealing structure and impact-resistant frame ensure safe use in complex environments. The herringbone gear transmission system achieves low-noise and efficient power transmission. The food-grade silicone sleeve combines teeth cleaning and anti-slip functions. Magnetic fast charging and intelligent temperature control extend the device's lifespan.

[0020] 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.

[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides an embodiment of a pet toy ball, including an upper PCB support 8 and a lower PCB support 9. The upper PCB support 8 and the lower PCB support 9 adopt an interlocking slot design, and their arc-shaped edges are precisely matched with the inner contour of the golf silicone sleeve 13 to form a gapless assembly. A PCBA6 is installed on the inner wall of the lower PCB support 9. The PCBA6 is fixed to the positioning post of the lower PCB support 9 by four sets of M2 screws. An onboard nine-axis sensor monitors the angular velocity and linear acceleration of the ball in real time. A button 7 is provided on the top of the PCBA6. The silicone cap of the button 7 passes through the opening of the upper PCB support 8. Its plunger structure maintains a 0.3mm trigger gap with the surface mount micro switch of the PCBA6. A counterweight 15 is fixedly connected to the PCBA6. The counterweight 15 is connected to the aluminum alloy substrate of the PCBA6 through a T-slot. The eccentric mass distribution makes the ball produce random turning characteristics similar to biological motion.

[0022] The inner wall of the lower PCB bracket 9 is equipped with a drive motor 4. The flange of the drive motor 4 is embedded in the heat dissipation grid of the lower PCB bracket 9. Its axial wiring method forms the shortest wiring path with the electrode plate of the polymer battery 3. The drive end of the drive motor 4 is fixedly connected to a motor gear 5. The D-shaped shaft hole of the motor gear 5 is interference-fitted with the output shaft of the drive motor 4. The tooth tip is chamfered to reduce the meshing impact with the transmission gear 1. The bottom of the lower PCB bracket 9 is rotatably connected to the transmission gear 1. The copper-based oil-impregnated bearing of the transmission gear 1 forms a rotating pair with the injection-molded shaft of the lower PCB bracket 9. Pre-coated silicone grease ensures low-temperature starting performance at -20℃. The motor gear 5 and the transmission gear 1 are meshed. The double gear meshing area is set in the closed cavity of the lower PCB bracket 9. The herringbone tooth profile design effectively balances the axial thrust.

[0023] A round shaft pin 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transmission gear 1. The stepped shaft structure of the round shaft pin 14 restricts the axial displacement of the transmission gear 1. The milled flat part of its end face forms a torque transmission interface with the set screw of the lower main body bracket 11. The upper PCB bracket 8 is connected to the lower PCB bracket 9 through the fastener 2. The countersunk screw of the fastener 2 passes through the through hole of the upper PCB bracket 8 and forms a three-point locking structure with the threaded insert of the lower PCB bracket 9. The upper main body bracket 10 is installed on the outside of the upper PCB bracket 8. The snap claw of the upper main body bracket 10 is interference-fitted with the groove of the upper PCB bracket 8. Its transparent shell makes the indicator light of PCBA6 form a diffuse reflection effect. The lower main body bracket 11 is installed on the outside of the lower PCB bracket 9. The anti-slip texture of the lower main body bracket 11 is formed by extending the reinforcing rib of the lower PCB bracket 9. The bottom magnetic module and the charging base form an automatic alignment component. The bottom of the round shaft pin 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower main body bracket 11. The hot fitting process of the round shaft pin 14 causes the injection molding material of the lower main body bracket 11 to undergo plastic deformation, forming a permanent mechanical anchor.

[0024] Golf silicone sleeves 13 are provided on the outside of the upper main support 10 and the lower main support 11. The positioning protrusions of the golf silicone sleeves 13 are embedded in the annular grooves of the upper main support 10 and the lower main support 11, and the interference is controlled within the range of 0.2-0.5mm. A silicone button 12 is provided on the top of the upper main support 10. The skirt structure of the silicone button 12 wraps around the edge of the opening of the upper main support 10, forming an IP67 dustproof and waterproof sealing interface. A polymer battery 3 is installed on the inner wall of the lower PCB support 9. The irregular contour of the polymer battery 3 fits the limiting rib of the lower PCB support 9. The silicone shock-absorbing pad absorbs high-frequency vibration energy. The polymer battery 3 is electrically connected to the drive motor 4. The silver-plated wire runs along the wiring channel of the lower PCB support 9. The turning point is equipped with a 3D printed flexible sleeve to prevent metal fatigue fracture.

[0025] Working principle: The drive motor 4 is connected to the motor gear 5, which drives the transmission gear 1. The torque is transmitted to the lower main support 11 through the round shaft pin 14, causing the ball to roll. The PCBA6 is equipped with a nine-axis sensor to monitor the motion posture in real time. Combined with the eccentric mass distribution of the counterweight 15, the motor speed and direction are intelligently adjusted to generate an irregular movement trajectory similar to that of a living organism. The polymer battery 3 provides a stable current to the drive unit through silver-plated wires. Its irregular structure, combined with the silicone shock-absorbing pad, ensures stability under high-frequency vibration. The positioning protrusion and annular groove inside the golf silicone sleeve 13 are interference-fitted to form an impact-resistant protective layer. At the same time, the surface texture enhances the grip. The herringbone gear meshing design balances the axial force, and the closed chamber structure reduces transmission noise. Users can switch modes through the silicone button 12 to trigger the PCBA6 to control the LED light effect and motion algorithm, realizing sound and light interaction. The IP67 sealing structure and three-point fastening components ensure the reliability of the internal electronic components in complex environments. The whole system is a pet interactive component that integrates autonomous movement, intelligent obstacle avoidance and durable protection.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
