Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the increasing popularity of pet ownership, the market demand for cat toys is growing. Cat toys are a type of interactive toy designed specifically for cats to satisfy their exploration and hunting instincts. They usually simulate the movement of prey to stimulate cats' curiosity and hunting instincts, helping them stay active and reduce boredom and anxiety. However, existing cat toys often suffer from problems such as monotonous actions and insufficient fun, making it difficult to continuously attract cats' attention.

[0003] Therefore, designing a pet toy that is both flexible and fun is of great importance to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a pet toy that is flexible in movement and highly entertaining, in order to solve the problems of monotonous movements and insufficient entertainment in the prior art.

[0006] Base;

[0007] A rocking assembly is disposed on the base. The rocking assembly includes multiple rocking components. Each rocking component is provided with a connecting structure for connecting to the base or an adjacent rocking component. The multiple rocking components are sequentially stacked and hinged through the multiple connecting structures, and each rocking component can rotate around its corresponding connecting structure.

[0008] Decorative elements are placed at the end of the rocking assembly away from the base to attract the pet's attention.

[0009] Optionally, each of the rocker components includes a base, a first support arm, and a second support arm, with the first and second support arms symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base to form a U-shaped structure.

[0010] Optionally, the base, the first support arm, and the second support arm are integrally formed.

[0025] 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.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a specific embodiment of a pet toy.

[0027] A pet toy, for reference Figure 1 The pet toy includes a base 100, a rocking assembly 200, and a decorative piece 300. The rocking assembly 200 is disposed on the base 100, and the decorative piece 300 is disposed at the end of the rocking assembly 200 away from the base 100 to attract the pet's attention. The rocking assembly 200 includes multiple rocking members 210, each of which is provided with a connecting structure 220 for connecting the base 100 or adjacent rocking members 210. The multiple rocking members 210 are sequentially stacked and hinged through multiple connecting structures 220, and each rocking member 210 can rotate around its corresponding connecting structure 220.

[0028] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 The rocking assembly 200 is composed of multiple stacked and hinged rocking pieces 210. The specific number of rocking pieces 210 can be adjusted according to actual needs. Each rocking piece 210 has a connecting structure 220 on both sides. The bottom rocking piece 210 is connected to the base 100 through the connecting structure 220. The adjacent rocking pieces 210 above are hinged to the bottom rocking piece 210 through their own connecting structure 220. In this way, multiple rocking pieces 210 are stacked and hinged in sequence through multiple connecting structures 220 to form a multi-layered rocking structure extending upward from the end near the base 100, i.e., the rocking assembly 200.

[0029] Each rocking component 210 can rotate around its connecting structure 220, that is, around its hinge point. When a pet touches any rocking component 210, that rocking component 210 can cause adjacent rocking components 210 to swing in unison, creating a variety of dynamic effects. For example, if a pet gently nudges one layer of rocking components 210, not only will that rocking component 210 rotate, but the rocking components 210 connected to it above and below will also swing in different amplitudes and directions due to the transmission of force. This is transmitted layer by layer, thereby creating a continuously changing "wave" effect, increasing the fun and interactivity of pet play.

[0030] In this embodiment, based on the pet's innate sensitivity to dynamic objects, a pet toy is designed. Utilizing the multi-layered, interconnected swinging of the rocking component 200, it continuously generates dynamic stimulation. Compared to traditional static or single-swing toys, its swinging pattern is more complex and harder to predict. When the pet scratches or bites the decorative piece 300, the rocking component 200 can move in unison, constantly refreshing the pet's visual and tactile experience, extending the pet's attention span, stimulating the pet's interest in actively pouncing, scratching, and playing, satisfying the pet's playful nature, and allowing the pet to gain more fun and exercise through interaction.

[0031] Furthermore, the number, curvature, and material of the rocking parts 210 can be flexibly adjusted. If targeting small pets with less strength, the number of rocking parts 210 can be reduced, and a lighter plastic material can be used to reduce the swing resistance, making it easier for pets to drive the rocking motion. If targeting large pets with greater strength, the thickness and number of rocking parts 210 can be increased to improve structural strength and accommodate the stronger bites of larger pets. Moreover, the rocking parts 210 are connected to the base 100 and to each other via hinges, which not only facilitates production and assembly but also facilitates later maintenance and replacement, effectively reducing the overall maintenance cost of the toy.

[0032] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 Each rocker component 210 includes a base 211, a first support arm 212, and a second support arm 213. The first support arm 212 and the second support arm 213 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 211 to form a U-shaped structure.

[0033] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 The base 211, as the basic load-bearing part of the rocker 210, can be designed as an arc-shaped sheet structure. It can be made of plastic with certain toughness and strength, such as ABS plastic, so that it can maintain structural stability and buffer external force through appropriate deformation when the pet touches it, so as to avoid damage. The curvature of the base 211 can be selected according to the overall size of the toy and the pet's interaction needs.

[0034] Further, refer to Figure 2The first support arm 212 and the second support arm 213 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 211 to form a U-shaped structure. The length and thickness of the first support arm 212 and the second support arm 213 need to be adapted to the base 211 to ensure the mechanical balance of the U-shaped structure. The length of the first support arm 212 and the second support arm 213 of the upper rocker component 210 is shorter than that of the first support arm 212 and the second support arm 213 of the lower rocker component 210 to achieve a gradual structure after the stacked hinge. When two adjacent rocker components 210 are connected, the connection structure 220 of the upper rocker component 210 is aligned with the connection structure 220 of the lower rocker component 210 to complete the stacked hinge so that each rocker component 210 can rotate flexibly around its own connection structure 220.

[0035] Further, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Starting with the bottommost rocker 210, the arc of its base 211 faces upward, i.e., the U-shaped opening faces the decorative part 300. The first support arm 212 and the second support arm 213 are hinged to the base 100 through the connecting structure 220. The U-shaped structure of the upper adjacent rocker 210 of the bottommost rocker 210 is nested in the U-shaped space of the U-shaped structure of the bottommost rocker 210, and so on, forming a multi-layered nested and sequentially hinged rocker structure. This design allows the spatial layout of the U-shaped structure to guide the swing trajectory of the rocker 210 when it rotates, which not only limits the structural jamming caused by excessive swinging, but also uses the symmetrical characteristics of the U-shape to ensure the stability of the rocker 210 when it rotates. When a pet touches any rocker 210, it can drive the adjacent rocker 210 to move together, forming a continuous and regular dynamic effect.

[0036] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 The base 211, the first support arm 212, and the second support arm 213 are integrally molded, making the rocker 210 a complete unit without any connecting parts. This greatly reduces the risk of structural damage caused by connection problems and improves the overall strength and durability of the rocker 210. When a pet scratches, bites, or moves the rocker 210, the integral structure can better withstand external forces and is less likely to separate from the base 211. Furthermore, since there are no seams or exposed connecting parts, it can effectively prevent pets from getting their fur caught in gaps or swallowing small parts, greatly improving the safety of pets when using toys.

[0037] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2The first support arm 212 and the second support arm 213 have the same thickness, and both are less than the thickness of the base 211. On the one hand, the base 211 is thicker, and with the same material, the mass (weight) of the base 211 will be greater than that of the first support arm 212 and the second support arm 213. Since the base 211 is the basic load-bearing part of the rocker component 210, and in the stacked hinge structure, the base 211 of the lower rocker component 210 is closer to the base 100, its larger mass will pull the overall center of gravity of the rocker component 200 towards the base 100, reducing the overall center of gravity height. On the other hand, through the symmetrical design of "the first support arm 212 and the second support arm 213 having the same thickness", the weight on both sides is balanced, and the center of gravity will not shift due to unilateral imbalance, further ensuring that the overall center of gravity is in the stable area directly above the base 100, thereby improving the stability of the rocker component 200.

[0038] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 The connection structure 220 includes a first connector 214 and a second connector 215 disposed on the first support arm 212, and a third connector 216 and a fourth connector 217 disposed on the second support arm 213. The first connector 214 and the third connector 216 are symmetrically arranged to connect the second connector 215 and the fourth connector 217 of the upper layer swing member 210 respectively. The second connector 215 and the fourth connector 217 are symmetrically arranged to connect the first connector 214 and the third connector 216 of the lower layer swing member 210 respectively.

[0039] Each rocking component 210 is connected to the upper and lower rocking components 210 via four connectors (first connector 214, second connector 215, third connector 216, and fourth connector 217), forming a multi-node hinged structure. Compared to a single connection point, the multi-node design can provide a more flexible rotation trajectory for the rocking component 210 while ensuring connection strength. The four connectors (first connector 214, second connector 215, third connector 216, and fourth connector 217) are respectively set on the first support arm 212 and the second support arm 213 on both sides of the U-shaped structure, allowing the rocking component 210 to rotate freely within the U-shaped space of the U-shaped structure. When a pet touches any rocking component 210, the rocking component 210 can rotate at any angle within the U-shaped space of the U-shaped structure, and then transmit the rotation to the adjacent layer through symmetrical connections, forming a richer linkage effect and enhancing its attractiveness to pets.

[0040] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1The decorative piece 300 is a feather. An installation piece 400 is provided between the decorative piece 300 and the rocking assembly 200. The installation piece 400 and the rocking assembly 200 are rotatably connected. When the pet touches the rocking piece 210 which is directly connected to the installation piece 400, the rocking piece 210 rotates and transmits power to the installation piece 400, so that the installation piece 400 can drive the feather to rotate together, thereby enhancing its attractiveness to the pet.

[0041] In one embodiment, reference Figure 3 The base 100 includes a mounting base 110 and a suction cup 120. The mounting base 110 is also a U-shaped structure with a U-shaped space to mount the bottom rocker component 210. The mounting base 110 is set on the suction cup 120 to mount the rocker assembly 200. The suction cup 120 can adhere the pet to a flat surface to improve the stability of the pet toy during use.
