[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a highly stable adjustable cat scratching board. The scratching board is detachably mounted on a support frame, the angle of which is adjustable from 0 to 90 degrees to meet various usage needs. The support frame is firmly fixed to the ground by suction cups at the bottom, giving the scratching board good stability and safety. Furthermore, the scratching board can also be fixed to walls, cabinets, etc., using hanging holes or suction cups, increasing the versatility of its use.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the technical problem is: a highly stable adjustable cat scratching board, which includes a cat scratching board body and a support frame. The cat scratching board body includes a surface layer, a main board, and a base. The surface layer covers the main board and is used for scratching by cats. The base has a mounting groove, and the main board covered by the surface layer is embedded in the mounting groove of the base. The cat scratching board body and the support frame are detachably connected, and the angle of the cat scratching board body is adjusted through the support frame. The bottom of the support frame has at least one pair of fixing suction cups, which are used to stabilize the support frame. In use, the fixing suction cups firmly attach the support frame to the ground, making it less likely for the cat scratching board to be knocked over by the cat.

[0007] Furthermore, the support frame includes a first adjusting member, a second adjusting member, and a third adjusting member; the end of the first adjusting member and the end of the third adjusting member are movably connected via a first movable member, and the end of the second adjusting member and the middle part of the first adjusting member are movably connected via a second movable member; the third adjusting member is provided with a plurality of adjusting holes, and the angle of the support frame is adjusted by the second adjusting member engaging with different adjusting holes. When the protruding end of the second adjusting member is inserted into the adjusting hole of the third adjusting member, the first adjusting member, the second adjusting member, and the third adjusting member form a stable triangular structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the angle adjustment range of the support frame is 0~90 degrees; the tilt of the cat scratching board body is achieved by adjusting the angle of the support frame to meet the cat's usage needs. A limiting component is provided at the connection end between the first and third adjusting components; the third adjusting component is provided with several buffer components. During installation, the lower end of the cat scratching board body is placed on the limiting component, and the back of the base is fixedly connected to the support frame, increasing the connection stability between the cat scratching board body and the support frame. The third adjusting component is provided with several buffer components, which are typically made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity. Their function is to increase the cushioning effect between the cat scratching board body and the support frame, making the cat scratching board more stable in use.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixed suction cups are located below the first adjusting member, and the number of fixed suction cups is one pair or two pairs; when the number of fixed suction cups is one pair, the two fixed suction cups are located on the side closer to the first movable member or on the side farther away from the first movable member or are diagonally distributed on the first adjusting member; when the number of fixed suction cups is two pairs, the four fixed suction cups are distributed at the four corners of the first adjusting member.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned fixed suction cups is detachably mounted on the first adjusting member of the support frame by screws.

[0011] Furthermore, the support frame has a first mounting hole, and the base has a second mounting hole; the first and second mounting holes are fixedly connected by screws. This detachable connection method enriches the usage scenarios of the cat scratching board, allowing users to choose whether or not to install the support frame based on actual needs. The main board has a fourth mounting hole in its middle, and the base has a third mounting hole in its middle; the third and fourth mounting holes are fixedly connected by screws, thereby securing the main board to the base.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting slot is provided with several support members, each with the same height, and the height of the support member does not exceed the depth of the mounting slot. The motherboard covered by the surface layer is mounted on each of the support members, forming a cavity between the motherboard covered by the surface layer and the mounting slot. During installation, the motherboard covered by the surface layer is placed in the mounting slot of the base, with the motherboard supported on the support members below, thereby forming a cavity between the motherboard and the mounting slot. When the cat scratches the scratching post, the hollow structure on the motherboard can produce a sound effect, and the presence of the cavity makes the produced sound more resonant and the effect better.

[0013] Furthermore, the surface layer comprises at least two layers of fabric, each layer having the same or different material and color. Each layer can be made of colors with strong contrast or good matching; tearing it will reveal the inner layer, enhancing the visual effect of the layered structure.

[0014] Furthermore, the motherboard has several hollow structures; these hollow structures include strip grooves, circular grooves, elliptical grooves, polygonal grooves, and other irregularly shaped through grooves; the dimensions of each hollow structure on the motherboard may be the same or different; the motherboard has chip slots, and an identification chip is installed in the chip slots. The design of the hollow structures on the motherboard makes a sound when the cat's paws scratch the scratching post. Different shapes and sizes of the hollow structures can produce different sounds when scratching, creating a melody in sync with the scratching rhythm, increasing the cat's interest in scratching and making it more creative. Each scratching post is equipped with an identification chip, which can sense and identify with mobile devices such as smartphones, retrieving audio, images, videos, and other data stored in the corresponding cloud account, giving each cat its own unique "blog".

[0015] Furthermore, one end of the base is provided with a hanging hole; the base is provided with several suction cup mounting holes for mounting suction cups. In use, the cat scratching board can be directly mounted on a wall or cabinet surface via the hanging holes or suction cups without installing a support frame, increasing the usage scenarios of the cat scratching board.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the highly stable adjustable cat scratching board provided by this utility model has the following advantages: 1) The adjustable support frame design allows the cat scratching post to tilt within a range of 0 to 90 degrees, meeting the different needs of cats; and the support frame is detachable, increasing the flexibility of use and the versatility of usage scenarios. 2) The design of the suction cups on the support frame allows the cat scratching board to be fixed to the ground during use, preventing the cat scratching board from being knocked over by the cat and causing safety hazards; 3) The hollow structure design on the motherboard allows the cat to make different sounds depending on the rhythm, frequency and angle of its scratching. These sounds can be combined to form a certain melody, which greatly increases the cat's interest in using the device. The cavity design between the motherboard and the mounting slot further enhances the resonance effect of the sound. 4) Through the design of multiple layers of fabric, when the outer layer of fabric is torn during the scratching process, the inner layer of fabric will be exposed. Since the materials and colors of each layer of fabric are different, different colors can be layered to increase the visual effect. The scratched cat scratching board can also be collected as a work of art as a souvenir. 5) By using the identification chip on the motherboard, data stored in the corresponding cloud account can be retrieved by sensing the identification chip with the mobile device, which enhances the fun and also has commemorative significance; 6) The design of the hanging holes and suction cup mounting holes on the base allows for multiple fixing and installation methods for the cat scratching board.

[0029] The support frame 4 includes a first adjusting member 401, a second adjusting member 402, and a third adjusting member 403. The end of the first adjusting member 401 is movably connected to the end of the third adjusting member 403 via a first movable member, and the end of the second adjusting member 402 is movably connected to the middle of the first adjusting member 401 via a second movable member. In this embodiment, both the first and second movable members are movable shafts. The third adjusting member 403 has several adjusting holes 405. The second adjusting member 402 adjusts the angle of the support frame 4 by engaging with different adjusting holes 405. When the protruding end of the second adjusting member 402 is inserted into the adjusting hole 405 of the third adjusting member 403, the first adjusting member 401, the second adjusting member 402, and the third adjusting member 403 form a stable triangular structure.

[0030] The angle adjustment range of the support frame 4 is 0~90 degrees; the tilt of the cat scratching board body is achieved by adjusting the angle of the support frame 4 to meet the usage needs of cats. A limiting member 404 is provided at the connection end between the first adjusting member 401 and the third adjusting member 403; during installation, the lower end of the cat scratching board body is placed on the limiting member 404, and the back of the base 3 is then fixedly connected to the support frame 4, greatly increasing the connection stability between the cat scratching board body and the support frame 4. The third adjusting member 403 is provided with several buffer members 406, which are typically made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity. Their function is to increase the cushioning effect between the cat scratching board body and the support frame 4, making the cat scratching board more stable in use.

[0031] The fixed suction cup 408 is located below the first adjusting member 401, and the number of fixed suction cups 408 is one or two pairs. Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, when the number of the fixed suction cups 408 is a pair, the two fixed suction cups 408 are disposed on the side closer to the first movable member, on the side farther from the first movable member, or diagonally distributed on the first adjusting member 401. Figure 4 As shown, in another embodiment, when there are two pairs of fixed suction cups 408, the four fixed suction cups 408 are distributed at the four corners of the first adjusting member 401. Each of the fixed suction cups 408 is detachably mounted on the first adjusting member 401 of the support frame 4 by screws. The design of the fixed suction cups 408 on the support frame 4 allows the cat scratching board to be fixed to the ground during use, preventing the scratching board from being knocked over by the cat and causing a safety hazard.

[0032] The support frame 4 has a first mounting hole 407, and the base 3 has a second mounting hole 306; the first mounting hole 407 and the second mounting hole 306 are fixedly connected by screws (not shown). This detachable connection method enriches the usage scenarios of the cat scratching board, allowing users to choose whether or not to install the support frame 4 based on actual needs. The main board 2 has a fourth mounting hole 203 in its middle, and the base 3 has a third mounting hole 307 in its middle. The third mounting hole 307 and the fourth mounting hole 203 are fixedly connected by screws, thereby securing the main board 2 and the base 3.

[0033] The mounting slot 301 contains several support members 302, each with a different shape and the same height, the height of which does not exceed the depth of the mounting slot 301. The motherboard 2, covered by the surface layer 1, is mounted on each of the support members 302, forming a cavity between the motherboard 2 and the mounting slot 301. During installation, the motherboard 2 covered by the surface layer 1 is placed in the mounting slot 301 of the base 3, with the motherboard 2 supported by the support members 302 below, thus forming a cavity between the motherboard 2 and the mounting slot 301. When a cat scratches the scratching post, the hollow structure 201 on the motherboard 2 can produce a sound effect, and the cavity makes the sound more resonant and the effect better. The mounting slot 301 contains a drawer position, and the drawer position has an openable drawer 303; the height of the drawer 303 is less than the height of the support member 302. Drawer 303 can be used to store scented sachets, which can be selected to match the cat's favorite scent, providing olfactory pleasure while the cat uses the scratching post. Drawer 303 can also hold a mobile phone / other device to record the sounds the cat makes while scratching; or a music player to play music, increasing the cat's enjoyment. Additionally, drawer 303 can be used to store the cat's personal items.

[0034] The outer layer 1 comprises at least two layers of fabric, and the materials and colors of each layer may be the same or different. In this embodiment, the outer layer 1 is composed of three layers of fabric, and the inner layer may be made of brightly colored fabric. When the outer layer is torn, the brightly colored inner layer exposed will create a clear visual contrast.

[0035] The motherboard 2 has several hollow structures 201; the hollow structures 201 include strip grooves, circular grooves, elliptical grooves, polygonal grooves, and other irregularly shaped through grooves; the dimensions of each hollow structure 201 on the motherboard 2 may be the same or different. In this embodiment, the hollow structure 201 adopts strip grooves, the lengths of each strip groove are not equal, the widths of each strip groove are equal, and the strip grooves are arranged parallel to the long side of the motherboard.

[0036] One end of the base 3 is provided with a hanging hole 304; the base 3 is provided with several suction cup mounting holes 305, which are used to install suction cups (not shown). In use, the support frame 4 can also be omitted, and the main body of the cat scratching board can be directly installed on the wall or cabinet through the hanging holes 304 or suction cups, increasing the usage scenarios of the cat scratching board.

[0037] The motherboard 2 has a chip slot, in which an identification chip 202 is installed. Each cat scratching board is equipped with an identification chip 202, which can sense and identify mobile devices such as mobile phones, and retrieve audio, pictures, videos and other data stored in the corresponding cloud account.

[0038] In the aforementioned cat scratching board, the mainboard 2 is first covered by the surface layer 1, and then the covered mainboard 2 is embedded into the mounting groove 301 of the base 3 to obtain the main body of the cat scratching board. During the covering process, the surface layer 1 and the edge of the mainboard 2 are fixed together by adhesive or other means; the covered mainboard 2 is also fixed to the edge of the mounting groove 301 by adhesive, or by screws using the third and fourth mounting holes, or it can be directly embedded into the mounting groove 301 without further fixing. The fixed installation method increases the safety and stability of the cat scratching board, preventing the mainboard from falling off during scratching; while the unfixed method increases the flexibility of the cat scratching board. When the surface layer is damaged or the mainboard is broken, the base can be retained, and only the surface layer or the mainboard needs to be replaced, reducing usage costs. The above two fixed or unfixed methods can be selected according to actual production needs, and both are within the protection scope of this utility model. The main body of the cat scratching board is then assembled with the support frame 4 by screws. After assembly, the tilt of the main body of the cat scratching board can be adjusted synchronously through the support frame 4 for cat use. Before use, the cat scratching board can be firmly fixed to the ground using the suction cup 408 at the bottom of the support frame 4, preventing it from being knocked over by the cat during use and improving the safety of the cat scratching board. This utility model only lists one commonly used support frame structure; other support frames with similar functions and structures are also within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0039] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also fall within the scope of the present utility model. The patent protection scope of the present utility model should be defined by the claims.
