[0040] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0041] Example

[0042] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a multifunctional cat climbing frame, including: a first platform 100, with supporting members around the bottom of the first platform 100, and the supporting members forming an accommodating opening for a litter box 300 to be placed on at least one side; a accommodating space for placing the litter box 300 is formed below the first platform 100; a second platform 200, supported above the first platform 100; along the front-rear direction of the side where the accommodating opening is located below the first platform 100, the first platform 100 extends forward beyond the front end of the second platform 200, and the front-rear extension width of the second platform 200 does not exceed 2 / 3 of the front-rear width of the first platform 100; connecting plates 120 are provided on the left and right sides below the first platform 100 or the second platform 200, and at least one connecting plate 120 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 121.

[0043] The cat tree in this embodiment can be used in conjunction with the litter box 300. The cat tree is directly placed over the litter box 300, making full use of the upper space of the original placement location of the litter box 300 without occupying additional space, thus saving space. It also forms a three-tiered area with the litter box 300, providing a space for pets to play and climb, satisfying their resting and playing habits. In practice, the litter box 300 can be placed directly on the ground, or a partition plate can be provided on the support at the bottom of the first platform 100, and the litter box 300 can be placed on the partition plate. To expand space utilization, another partition plate can be installed below the first platform 100, above the litter box 300, for storage.

[0044] Secondly, on the side where the accommodating opening is located, the first platform 100 and the second platform 200 extend forward with different widths. The second platform 200 does not exceed 2 / 3 of the width of the first platform 100, preferably between 1 / 3 and 2 / 3 of the width of the first platform 100. Specifically, 1 / 3, 1 / 2, 2 / 3, etc. can be used. After the pet comes out of the litter box 300, it can climb directly on the shelf. The extra part not only increases the freedom of movement on the first platform 100, but also makes it easier for the pet to jump. In addition, the first platform 100 is wider and can be used as a feeding and resting platform for the pet at the same time. It can be used with the sleeping mat or food mat products that the user already has at home, which can be laid directly on the first platform 100. Using the first platform 100 as a resting area or feeding area, it also realizes the effective integration of multifunctional space distribution.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, connecting plates 120 are respectively provided on the left and right sides below the first platform 100 or the second platform 200. The setting of the connecting plates 120 can effectively improve the stability support of the frame, enhance the structural strength of the frame, and prevent instability due to pets jumping. The connecting plates 120 are provided with mounting holes 121, which can be used as pegboards. Pet-owning families usually have various pet supplies, such as cat litter scoops, storage boxes, toys, etc., which can be directly hooked on the connecting plates 120 for centralized storage. This not only further saves space but also creates a centralized distribution area for pet supplies through the cat tree, making it easier for users to access them and greatly improving user convenience. The connecting plates 120 can be set below the first platform 100 or the second platform 200, utilizing the lower or upper outer space for storage. Alternatively, connecting plates 120 can be set below both the first platform 100 and the second platform 200 simultaneously.

[0046] Specifically, the first platform 100 may optionally have columns 110 at its four corners as support members. An opening is formed between the two front columns 110. Connecting plates 120 may be installed on the sides other than the openings, such as between the two left and right columns 110. Both connecting plates 120 have mounting holes 121. Connecting plates 120 may also be installed between the two rear columns 110, providing more stable support, higher structural strength, and allowing both sides to function as perforated panels, effectively improving space utilization. The vertical extension height of the connecting plates 120 can be approximately equal to the extension height of the columns 110 to ensure structural strength. Similarly, connecting plates 120 may be installed on the sides other than the openings (left, right, or rear) of the second platform 200, with the left and right connecting plates 120 preferably serving as perforated panels.

[0047] Furthermore, combining Figure 2As shown, the second platform 200 is preferably located on the rear side of the first platform 100, and the rear end of the second platform 200 is flush with the rear end of the first platform 100 on the same vertical plane. In this embodiment, the cat climbing frame can be placed against the wall at the rear of the user's home. The second platform 200 and the rear end of the first platform 100 are flush, which saves more space and makes the placement more stable. It also makes it easier to make full use of the protruding extension space on the front side of the first platform 100 in a limited space. In practice, the user can also adjust the placement direction according to the convenience of space. Depending on the needs, the second platform 200 can also be set on the front side or in the middle area of ​​the first platform 100, and the left and right extension length of the second platform 200 can be basically flush with or shorter than the length of the first platform 100.

[0048] Furthermore, preferably, the second platform 200 is fixed to the first platform 100 by four corner support rods 220, and the support rods 220 are positioned close to the side edges of the first platform 100. Figure 1 As shown, the support rods 220 are positioned near the left and right edges of the first platform 100. This arrangement ensures that the upper surface of the first platform 100 remains a single, undivided area, providing a more spacious view and allowing users to easily choose to use sleeping mats or placemats. These mats can be laid flat and completely on the first platform 100, serving as a resting or dining platform, and are also easier to clean. In practice, perforated panels can be installed between the support rods 220 on the left, right, or rear sides to create storage space on the outer side.

[0049] Alternatively, the second platform 200 may have a placement hole in which a resting compartment 210 can be detachably installed. Preferably, a rubber pad is also provided around the placement hole of the second platform 200 and the resting compartment 210 to improve the stability of the resting compartment 210. The resting compartment 210 may be in the shape of a racetrack to allow the pet to sleep in a more relaxed and comfortable position.

[0050] It should be further noted that, as a multi-layer cat climbing frame, its structural stability and ease of assembly and disassembly are also important considerations for users. The following describes a specific assembly structure of the frame. A crossbar 130 is provided below the first platform 100, specifically, crossbars 130 are provided on the front and rear sides of the first platform 100, and the first platform 100 is detachably assembled with the uprights 110 using the crossbars 130.

[0051] In this embodiment, the detachable assembly can be selected in the following ways, combined with... Figures 4-6As shown, the end of the crossbar 130 is provided with a connecting part 131. Specifically, a U-shaped connecting part 131 is welded and fixed to the end of the crossbar 130. The connecting part 131 covers both sides of the crossbar 130. The top ends of both sides of the connecting part 131 are provided with downwardly extending connecting teeth 132, and grooves are formed between adjacent connecting teeth 132. Correspondingly, the top of the column 110 is provided with a fixing part 111. The fixing part 111 has a fixing cavity 112 with an upper opening that is adapted to the crossbar 130, so that the end of the crossbar 130 can be inserted into the fixing cavity 112. The side walls of the fixing part 111 are provided with similar upwardly extending tooth structures, and fixing grooves 114 adapted to the connecting teeth 132 are formed between adjacent teeth. During installation, the crossbar 130 is inserted into the fixing cavity 112, and the connecting teeth 132 on the connecting part 131 and the fixing grooves 114 on the fixing part 111 are interlocked and engaged, making the structure stable and not easy to shake.

[0052] Furthermore, the fixing part 111 has a through hole on its fixing bottom wall 113, and the end of the crossbar 130 has a corresponding through hole 133. The first platform 100 and the lower crossbar 130 can also be separate structures, and the four corners of the first platform 100 have corresponding threaded holes. The fixing bolts 140 pass upward through the holes in the fixing bottom wall 113 and the crossbar 130, and are fastened to the threaded holes on the first platform 100, thus achieving stable installation of the first platform 100, and the installation structure is relatively concealed. Similarly, the support rod 220 can also be fastened to the second platform 200 and the first platform 100 respectively by bolt fastening.

[0053] The cat tree in this embodiment has a simple structure and strong adaptability. It can be directly used with a cat litter box, effectively saving space. It can also serve as a platform for pets to play, rest, and eat, and provides additional storage space to centrally store pet supplies. It meets users' higher requirements for space constraints and is flexible and convenient to use.

[0054] The above description is illustrative of the present invention and its embodiments. This description is not restrictive and is merely one embodiment of the present invention, and is not actually limited thereto. Therefore, if those skilled in the art, inspired by this description, design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
