[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a pet toy 100, including: a transparent shell 110, and a grating card 120 connected to the transparent shell 110. The grating card 120 includes a grating lens 122 and a pattern layer 124 stacked together. The pattern layer 124 has at least two superimposed images, which are linear patterns parallel to the corresponding grating lines on the grating lens 122.

[0028] Specifically, the grating lens 122 is implemented primarily through two forms: a slit grating and a lenticular grating. A slit grating consists of an array of slits on one side of the lens body; when viewing an image through these slits, different image bands enter the left and right eyes respectively. A lenticular grating, on the other hand, adds an array of small lenticular lenses to one side of the lens body; the image is refracted by these lenticular lenses and enters the left and right eyes respectively. In practical applications, when manufacturing the grating card 120, multiple images taken from different angles are captured or generated. These images are cut into line patterns and arranged in a specific order to form a pattern layer 124. The grating lens 122 is then placed over the pattern layer 124, with the line patterns parallel to the corresponding grating lines on the grating lens 122. At this point, a complete image can be seen from the current viewing angle. Because the grating lens 122 disperses light in different directions, the fine lines of the image from each viewing angle are transmitted to the observer's eye at the correct angle; therefore, different images can be seen when changing different viewing angles. The number of completed images shown depends on the number of images superimposed. Each image is defined as one transformation, and it can generally be set to two to five transformations to increase appeal.

[0029] The pet toy 100 provided in this embodiment connects a transparent shell 110 to a lenticular card 120. Whether the lenticular card 120 is placed inside or outside the transparent shell 110, it does not affect the pet's ability to view the images on the lenticular card 120. By combining the lenticular card 120 with the transparent shell 110, the pet toy 100 can present dynamic or three-dimensional visual effects, breaking away from the single attraction method of traditional pet toys 100. During play, the pet will feel novelty and interest due to the constantly changing patterns, thereby extending playtime and increasing the toy's attractiveness and fun. For example, when the pet moves around the toy, the patterns it sees constantly change, as if dynamic objects are moving inside the toy. This novel visual experience can greatly stimulate the pet's curiosity and desire to play. The single attraction method of traditional pet toys 100 is difficult to continuously satisfy the pet's curiosity and exploratory desire, while this pet toy 100, through the changing patterns of the lenticular card 120, provides the pet with diverse visual stimulation, attracting the pet with different pattern effects and increasing the pet's interest in playing and playtime.

[0030] In an optional embodiment of this application, the pattern layer 124 is bonded to the grating lens 122.

[0031] Specifically, the adhesive connection provides a strong bond between the pattern layer 124 and the grating lens 122, preventing them from easily separating during use. This is crucial for ensuring the normal operation of the grating card 120, as relative displacement between the pattern layer 124 and the grating lens 122 can affect the pattern variation effect or even prevent it from displaying properly. The adhesive connection ensures the stability of the optical structure of the grating card 120 during pet play, continuously providing a good visual experience for the pet. The pattern layer 124 and the grating lens 122 can be bonded together using UV adhesive.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the transparent housing 110 is spherical or ellipsoidal, and the grating card 120 is disposed inside the transparent housing 110.

[0033] Specifically, the spherical or ellipsoidal shell has a smooth surface without sharp edges, preventing pets from getting injured during play. This shape also facilitates pets' grasping, rolling, and playing, conforming to their natural behavioral habits. For example, pets can roll a spherical toy with their paws or hold an ellipsoidal toy in their mouths, increasing the interactivity and fun between the toy and the pet. Furthermore, the grating card 120 is housed within the transparent shell 110, effectively protecting it from external physical damage and contamination, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of its optical performance.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the transparent shell 110 includes a first half 112 and a second half 114 that are connected together. A limiting groove 116 is provided at the joint of the first half 112 and the second half 114. The grating card 120 is circular and the edge of the grating card 120 is held in the limiting groove 116.

[0035] Specifically, the transparent shell 110 adopts a mating connection method and is provided with a limiting groove 116 to install the grating card 120, making the installation of the grating card 120 simple and easy. In practical applications, it is only necessary to make the first half 112 and the second half 114 by grinding a mold, then place the grating card 120 in the corresponding position, and then glue and fix the first half 112 and the second half 114 together. In addition, the fit between the limiting groove 116 and the edge of the circular grating card 120 can provide a stable fixing effect for the grating card 120. During pet play, the pet toy 100 will be subjected to various external forces, such as collisions and squeezing. Through the holding of the limiting groove 116, the grating card 120 can be firmly fixed in the transparent shell 110, and will not be displaced or fall off due to external forces, ensuring the normal operation of the grating card 120 and the performance of the toy.

[0036] In optional embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, two grating cards 120 are configured, and the two grating cards 120 are stacked so that the corresponding pattern can be seen from either the first half 112 or the second half 114.

[0037] Specifically, the two stacked lenticular cards 120 can display more pattern variations and visual effects. When a pet plays around the toy, it will see different pattern combinations and changes when viewed from different directions. This diversity can greatly attract the pet's attention and increase the toy's fun. For example, one lenticular card 120 can display a dynamic pattern, while the other displays a different pattern. When the pet observes from different angles, the two patterns will alternate or merge, creating a richer visual effect. Using this method, the pet toy 100 becomes attractive from all directions, increasing opportunities for interaction between the pet and the toy 100, and enhancing the frequency of use and appeal of the pet toy 100.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the transparent housing 110 includes a first half 112 and a second half 114 that are joined together. The grating card 120 includes multiple grating cards, and multiple grating cards 120 are arranged in a circumferential array on the first half 112 or the second half 114.

[0039] Specifically, multiple lenticular cards 120 are arranged in a circular array on the transparent housing 110, capable of displaying a wealth of pattern information and dynamic effects. While playing, pets will see different patterns displayed on the lenticular cards 120 at different positions. These patterns intertwine and change, providing pets with a rich and diverse visual stimulus. For example, different lenticular cards 120 can display different animal images, dynamic scenes, etc., allowing pets to feel as if they are in a constantly changing visual world, greatly satisfying their curiosity and desire to explore. Furthermore, the circular array arrangement ensures that the lenticular cards 120 are evenly distributed on the transparent housing 110, guaranteeing the toy's aesthetic appeal and harmony. At the same time, this layout facilitates manufacturing; during mold design and production, the installation position and fixing method of the lenticular cards 120 can be more easily set, improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0040] In an optional embodiment of this application, the grating card 120 is located inside or within the transparent housing 110. The grating card 120 and the transparent housing 110 are integrally injection molded, and a protective layer is provided on the functional surface of the grating lens 122 to protect the integrity of the grating lines.

[0041] Specifically, the position of the lenticular card 120 relative to the transparent shell 110 is related to the placement of the lenticular card 120 within the mold. In practical applications, if the lenticular card 120 is placed directly inside the mold, it is located within the transparent shell 110; if it is placed on one side of the mold, it is located inside the transparent shell 110. The one-piece injection molding method makes the lenticular card 120 and the transparent shell 110 a single unit, eliminating gaps and weak points between them, thus improving the toy's structural strength and durability. During pet play, the toy is subjected to various external forces, such as biting and dropping. The one-piece injection molded structure can better withstand these forces, is less prone to damage, and extends the toy's lifespan.

[0042] In addition, a protective layer is provided on the functional surface of the grating lens 122 to protect the integrity of the grating lines. The functional surface is the side that forms the grating lines, and this side has a slit or a small cylindrical lens. To prevent the functional surface from being affected during injection molding, a protective layer is provided at this location. The protective layer can be made of rigid plastic.

[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, in another optional embodiment of this application, the grating card 120 is cylindrical, and the two ends of the grating card 120 in the length direction are connected to the transparent shell 110.

[0044] Specifically, the lenticular card 120 is designed in a cylindrical shape, with its two ends connected to the transparent shell 110 along its length. This shape provides a unique visual effect and play experience. The cylindrical lenticular card 120 can form a continuous pattern display surface within the transparent shell 110. When a pet observes the toy, it can see a continuously changing pattern, increasing visual continuity and interest. Compared to a flat lenticular card 120, the pattern display surface of the cylindrical lenticular card 120 is a continuous curved surface. When a pet observes it, the pattern changes continuously with the viewing angle, as if a dynamic circular image is flowing inside the toy. This unique visual effect can attract the pet's attention and stimulate its curiosity and desire to play.

[0045] Understandably, to prevent pets from damaging the cylindrical grating card 120 during play, a protective layer can be set on the outer ring of the grating card 120 to prevent the grating lines from being worn, scratched or otherwise physically damaged, ensuring that the grating card 120 always maintains good optical performance and provides pets with a stable and clear visual experience.

[0046] like Figure 7As shown, the pet toy 100 also includes a support frame 130, which is located within the grating card 120 and the transparent shell 110. The grating card 120 and the transparent shell 110 are formed by combining a first assembly 140 and a second assembly 150 that are divided along the length direction.

[0047] Specifically, the support frame 130 effectively enhances the structural stability of the toy. During pet play, especially with longer structures like the cylindrical lenticular card 120, it is susceptible to deformation or damage from external forces. The support frame 130 provides additional support for the lenticular card 120 and the transparent shell 110, preventing deformation under external forces and ensuring the toy's normal use and lifespan. Additionally, the outer surface of the support frame 130 can be painted with attractive patterns that shine through the transparent shell 110, thus stimulating the pet's interest. The use of the first assembly 140 and the second assembly 150 facilitates manufacturing and subsequent assembly, reducing production difficulty and cost. This design also facilitates quality control and inspection of the lenticular card 120 and the transparent shell 110, improving the product's pass rate.

[0048] In an alternative embodiment of this application, the transparent housing 110 is made of thermoplastic elastomer.

[0049] Specifically, the elasticity and flexibility of thermoplastic elastomers allow the transparent shell 110 to deform under the influence of external forces such as biting or scratching by a pet without easily breaking or being damaged. This property protects the internal structure of the toy, such as the grating card 120, while also providing a better play experience for the pet. Thermoplastic elastomers are environmentally friendly materials, generally free of harmful substances, and meet the safety standards of pet toys 100. Since pets inevitably put toys in their mouths during play, safe and non-toxic materials ensure their health and prevent health problems caused by contact with toxic substances. For example, the transparent shell 110 can be made of TPR material.
