Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pet toy technology, and specifically relates to a tear-resistant and elastic pet toy. Background Technology

[0002] Existing pet toys have many shortcomings in terms of tear resistance, mainly manifested in insufficient material strength, unreasonable structural design, and excessive wear and tear due to individual differences among pets. The root cause of these shortcomings is that in order to control costs, manufacturers often choose to use cheap materials such as plastic, rubber, or cloth. Although these materials have a certain degree of toughness, they are prone to breakage or fraying under long-term biting and pulling.

[0003] To address these issues, conventional approaches include increasing the thickness or hardness of the material, such as using high-strength nylon or adding an inner lining. However, these methods tend to increase the toy's weight, reduce the pet's interest in playing, and may even cause wear and tear on the pet's teeth or oral injuries. Another approach is to replace the toy regularly, but this not only increases pet ownership costs but also fails to fundamentally solve the problem of poor tear resistance, and may also waste resources and the environment. Therefore, we aim to design a pet toy with a novel structure to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tear-resistant and elastic pet toy to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a tear-resistant elastic pet toy, comprising: an elastic ball assembly, wherein an active component is movably installed on the upper, lower, left, right, front and rear sides of the elastic ball assembly to change the movement trajectory of the elastic ball assembly, and an inner ball is provided inside the elastic ball assembly to enhance the playability and fun of the entire toy;

[0006] The elastic ball assembly has a mounting hole on its upper, lower, left, right, front, and rear sides, each facing the spherical direction. The movable component includes a connecting post and an elastic hemisphere. An elastic hemisphere is integrally formed on the end of the connecting post away from the elastic ball assembly. The inner sphere includes an outer spherical shell, and a movable ball is movably installed inside the outer spherical shell.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the mounting hole is provided with a plurality of equally spaced protruding rings (I), and the outer wall of the connecting column is provided with a plurality of equally spaced protruding rings (II).

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the spacing between every two convex rings (first) matches the width of one convex ring (second). The diameter of the connecting post is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole. In actual use, by setting convex rings (first) on the inner wall of the mounting hole and convex rings (second) on the outer wall of the connecting post, and setting the diameter of the connecting post to be larger than the diameter of the mounting hole, the connecting post can be interference-fitted after being inserted into the mounting hole, reducing the problem of the entire moving component frequently falling out. It is mentioned here that the diameter of the connecting post is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole. In fact, the diameter of the connecting post is only slightly larger than the diameter of the mounting hole. For example, if the diameter of the mounting hole is 3cm, the diameter of the connecting post can be set to 3.4cm, which will not be too large to make it difficult to install.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the elastic hemisphere is larger than the diameter of the connecting post, the length of the connecting post is smaller than the depth of the mounting hole, and the connecting post is interference-fitted into the mounting hole by a first protruding ring and a second protruding ring.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, there is a gap between the outer spherical shell and the inner wall of the elastic ball assembly, and the gap allows the outer spherical shell to rotate inside the elastic ball assembly. A layer of crinkling paper is bonded to the inner wall of the outer spherical shell. In actual use, the crinkling paper layer can be pre-set with creases, which allows the crinkling paper layer to produce a louder sound when it is impacted.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the inner side of the clapboard layer is in contact with the outer wall of the movable ball, and there is a gap between the clapboard layer and the movable ball to allow the movable ball to move inside the clapboard layer.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the movable ball is hollow and has a cavity, which is a spherical cavity. A counterweight ball is placed inside the movable ball, and the diameter of the counterweight ball is smaller than the diameter of the cavity.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the elastic ball assembly, the movable assembly, the outer shell, and the movable ball are all made of ETPU popcorn material to improve the overall tear resistance of the toy.

[0014] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By setting up an elastic ball and movable components, since the elastic ball component, movable components, outer shell, and movable ball are all made of ETPU popcorn material, as is well known, ETPU popcorn material has strong anti-tear and shearing ability and is lightweight. When the entire toy is played with by the pet, the playability will not be reduced due to the large weight, and it has strong anti-tear performance. The movable components make the angle of contact between the elastic hemisphere and the ground uncontrollable when the toy is on the ground. Combined with the counterweight ball inside the inner ball, the trajectory of the entire toy after falling to the ground is unpredictable, which can effectively arouse the pet's interest in chasing and make the pet more willing to play. At the same time, its disassembly and washing characteristics allow multiple movable components and elastic ball components to be played with individually, expanding the playability of the toy and solving the problem that conventionally increasing the thickness or hardness of materials reduces the pet's interest in playing.

[0015] 2. By setting an inner sphere, the outer shell moves inside the elastic ball assembly, while the movable ball inside the outer shell moves continuously inside the outer shell under the drive of the counterweight ball. This causes the movable ball to continuously hit the crinkling paper layer inside the outer shell, and the hit crinkling paper layer continuously emits crinkling sounds to attract pets, effectively increasing the pets' interest in playing.

[0023] 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.

[0024] As the first embodiment of this utility model: a tear-resistant elastic pet toy, including: an elastic ball assembly 100, with a movable component 200 movably installed on the upper side, lower side, left side, right side, front side and rear side of the elastic ball assembly 100 to change the movement trajectory of the elastic ball assembly 100, and an inner ball 300 is provided inside the elastic ball assembly 100 to enhance the playability and fun of the entire toy.

[0025] The elastic ball assembly 100 has a mounting hole 110 on its upper, lower, left, right, front and rear sides, which are respectively oriented in a spherical direction. The movable assembly 200 includes a connecting post 210 and an elastic hemisphere 220. The elastic hemisphere 220 is integrally provided at the end of the connecting post 210 away from the elastic ball assembly 100. The inner sphere 300 includes an outer spherical shell 310, and a movable ball 330 is movably installed inside the outer spherical shell 310.

[0026] The inner wall of the mounting hole 110 is provided with multiple equally spaced protruding rings, and the outer wall of the connecting post 210 is provided with multiple equally spaced protruding rings.

[0027] The spacing between two protruding rings (first) matches the width of one protruding ring (second). The diameter of the connecting post 210 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 110. In actual use, by setting protruding rings (first) on the inner wall of the mounting hole 110 and protruding rings (second) on the outer wall of the connecting post 210, and setting the diameter of the connecting post 210 to be larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 110, the connecting post 210 can be interference-fitted after being inserted into the mounting hole 110, reducing the problem of the entire movable component 200 frequently falling out. It is mentioned here that the diameter of the connecting post 210 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 110. In fact, the diameter of the connecting post 210 is only slightly larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 110. For example, if the diameter of the mounting hole 110 is 3cm, the diameter of the connecting post 210 can be set to 3.4cm, which will not be too large to make it difficult to install.

[0028] The diameter of the elastic hemisphere 220 is larger than the diameter of the connecting post 210, and the length of the connecting post 210 is less than the depth of the mounting hole 110. The connecting post 210 is inserted into the mounting hole 110 by interference fit between the first and second protruding rings.

[0029] Specifically, by setting up elastic balls and movable components 200, in actual use, since the elastic ball component 100, movable component 200, outer shell 310, and movable ball 330 are all made of ETPU popcorn material, as is well known, ETPU popcorn material has strong tear and shear resistance and is lightweight. When the entire toy is played with by a pet, the playability will not be reduced due to its large weight, and it has strong tear resistance. At the same time, the elastic ball component 100 has a spherical structure, and the upper, lower, left, right, front, and rear sides are respectively equipped with... Equipped with a movable component 200, the elastic hemisphere 220, when placed on the ground, has an unpredictable contact angle with the ground. Combined with the counterweight ball 340 inside the inner sphere 300, this makes the trajectory of the toy unpredictable after landing, effectively stimulating the pet's chasing interest and making the pet more willing to play. At the same time, its detachable and washable feature allows multiple movable components 200 and elastic ball components 100 to be played with individually, expanding the toy's playability and solving the problem that conventionally increasing the thickness or hardness of materials reduces the pet's interest in playing.

[0030] As a second embodiment of this utility model:

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 3 There is a gap between the outer spherical shell 310 and the inner wall of the elastic ball assembly 100, and the gap allows the outer spherical shell 310 to rotate inside the elastic ball assembly 100. A layer of crinkling paper 320 is bonded to the inner wall of the outer spherical shell 310. In actual use, the crinkling paper 320 can be pre-set with creases, which allows the crinkling paper 320 to make a louder sound when it is hit.

[0032] The inner side of the crinkling paper layer 320 is in contact with the outer wall of the movable ball 330, and there is a gap between the crinkling paper layer 320 and the movable ball 330 to allow the movable ball 330 to move inside the crinkling paper layer 320.

[0033] The movable ball 330 has a hollow interior with a cavity. The cavity is a spherical cavity. A counterweight ball 340 is placed inside the movable ball 330. The diameter of the counterweight ball 340 is smaller than the diameter of the cavity.

[0034] The elastic ball assembly 100, the movable assembly 200, the outer shell 310, and the movable ball 330 are all made of ETPU popcorn material to improve the overall tear resistance of the toy.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 3 ,

[0036] Based on the first embodiment described above, further, by setting the inner sphere 300, in actual use, when the entire toy is chased and played with by a pet, since there is a gap between the outer sphere shell 310 and the inner wall of the elastic ball assembly 100, and this gap allows the outer sphere shell 310 to rotate inside the elastic ball assembly 100, and a layer of crinkling paper 320 is adhered to the inner wall of the outer sphere shell 310, the outer sphere shell 310 moves inside the elastic ball assembly 100, and the movable ball 330 inside the outer sphere shell 310 moves continuously inside the outer sphere shell 310 under the drive of the counterweight ball 340. This causes the movable ball 330 to continuously hit the crinkling paper layer 320 inside the outer sphere shell 310, and the hit crinkling paper layer 320 continuously emits crinkling sounds to attract the pet, effectively increasing the pet's interest in playing.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
