[0002] Pet dental toys are toys specifically designed for pets, primarily to satisfy their chewing needs, help them release excess energy, and also have a health-promoting effect. Non-edible toys such as rope toys and rubber dental gels are suitable for highly intelligent dogs, such as Poodles, Golden Retrievers, and Labradors. These toys are interactive, reusable, and help dogs release energy while cleaning their teeth.

[0003] Currently, traditional chew toys suffer from limited functionality and insufficient sensory appeal. They only provide physical chewing functions, lack olfactory stimulation, and the smell of their own materials can easily cause pets to feel unfamiliar or even reject them. This is especially true for pets with a sensitive sense of smell, making it difficult to actively stimulate their chewing interest, thus rendering the chew toys ineffective. Therefore, a new type of pet chew toy is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3 The first embodiment of this utility model provides a pet teething toy that can continuously emit an attractive scent to effectively stimulate a pet's chewing interest. It includes: a teething stick 100, an odor stimulation unit 200, and a locking unit 300.

[0033] The teething rod 100 has a hollow tubular structure and one end is open but not sealed. Multiple ventilation holes 101 are provided on the surface of the teething rod 100.

[0034] The odor stimulation unit 200 includes a sealing disc 201 slidably disposed within the teething rod 100. A threaded post 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sealing disc 201. An odor container 203 is threadedly sleeved at the bottom of the threaded post 202. Multiple vent holes are provided on the surface of the odor container 203. A limiting block 204 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the odor container 203. A limiting groove 205 that fits the limiting block 204 is provided on the inner wall of the teething rod 100. The limiting block 204 is slidably disposed within the limiting groove 205.

[0035] A locking unit 300 is provided inside the teething stick 100, which is used to lock the scent container 203 inside the teething stick 100.

[0036] The threaded post 202 and the scent container 203 are rotated apart or fixed together via a threaded structure. Users can place items with scents their pets like, such as pet treats or pet food, into the scent container 203. The scent container 203 is then rotated to secure it tightly to the threaded post 202. Next, the limiting block 204 is aligned with and inserted into the limiting groove 205, pushing the scent container 203 axially along the limiting groove 205 to the bottom. Simultaneously, the sealing disc 201 seals the opening of the teething rod 100. The locking unit 300 can then... The scent container 203 is securely fixed inside the chew stick 100. The scent molecules inside the scent container 203 are released into the hollow cavity of the chew stick 100 through the vent holes on its surface, and then continuously diffuse to the outside through the vent holes 101 on the surface of the chew stick 100, forming a long-lasting and attractive scent source to effectively stimulate the pet's chewing interest. When the scent has evaporated, the locking unit 300 releases the lock on the scent container 203, and then the scent container 203 is pulled out of the chew stick 100. Then the scent source of pet treats, pet food and other items can be replaced.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Reference Figure 1 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the outer surface of the teething rod 100 is fixedly connected with a plurality of evenly distributed hemispherical protrusions 102, and the hemispherical protrusions 102 and the ventilation holes 101 of the teething rod 100 are staggered.

[0039] The hemispherical bumps 102 evenly distributed on the outer surface of the chew stick 100 can provide pets with multiple chewing points to enhance the fun. At the same time, the staggered distribution of the hemispherical bumps 102 can prevent the ventilation holes 101 from being blocked when chewing, so as to ensure that the scent is continuously released.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] Reference Figures 1-3 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the surface edge of the limiting block 204 is rounded, and the opening at the top of the limiting groove 205 is rounded and expanded.

[0042] The smooth transition of the edge of the limiting block 204 and the smooth expansion design of the top of the limiting groove 205 can reduce the frictional resistance when the scent container 203 is inserted and pulled out, and prevent sharp edges from scratching the pet's mouth or the user's hand. At the same time, it plays a guiding role during the insertion process, so that the limiting block 204 can enter the limiting groove 205 more smoothly.

[0043] It should be noted that the outer surfaces of both the sealing plate 201 and the odor container 203 are treated with a non-slip rough surface, and the odor container 203 is made of transparent food-grade material.

[0044] The outer surfaces of the sealing disc 201 and the odor container 203 are treated with a non-slip rough surface to increase friction during operation, making it easy for users to rotate the threaded column 202 and the odor container 203. The odor container 203 is made of a hard, transparent, food-grade material to prevent harmful substances from leaching out and endangering health, and also allows users to visually observe the remaining amount and status of odor sources such as pet treats and attractants inside the container so that they can be replaced in a timely manner.

[0045] Example 4

[0046] Reference Figure 2 This is the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the locking unit 300 includes a support frame 301 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the teething rod 100. A drive motor 302 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 301. A locking block 303 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 302. An L-shaped plate 304 that fits with the locking block 303 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the scent container 203. The locking block 303 and the L-shaped plate 304 form a locking structure.

[0047] When the scent container 203 is inserted into the chew stick 100, the L-shaped plate 304 and the locking block 303 are staggered. After the scent container 203 is inserted, the limiting block 204 prevents the scent container 203 from rotating through the limiting groove 205. Then, the drive motor 302 drives the locking block 303 to rotate so that the locking block 303 engages with the L-shaped plate 304 at the bottom of the scent container 203. At this time, the output shaft of the drive motor 302 is automatically locked, thus forming a mechanical lock to ensure that the scent container 203 remains stable when the pet chews it. When the scent source needs to be changed, the drive motor 302 drives the locking block 303 to rotate again, so as to separate it from the L-shaped plate 304 and release the lock on the scent container 203, thereby realizing the convenient disassembly of the scent container 203.

[0048] Among them, the bottom of the support frame 301 is fixedly connected to the control chip 305, which is electrically connected to the drive motor 302 and is used to precisely control the start, stop and rotation direction of the drive motor 302.

[0049] As the core controller, the control chip 305 achieves precise control by electrically connecting to the drive motor 302. According to the preset program or external signal, the control chip 305 accurately controls the start, stop and rotation angle of the drive motor 302 to ensure that the engagement and disengagement of the card block 303 and the L-shaped plate 304 are accurate. The control chip 305 is a commonly used device, and its internal circuit structure will not be described in detail here.

[0050] In addition, a buzzer 306 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the teething rod 100, and the control chip 305 is electrically connected to the buzzer 306.

[0051] The control chip 305 can trigger the buzzer 306 to emit a sound at a specific frequency to indicate that the scent barrel 203 is locked or has been unlocked. The buzzer 306 can also be used to alert the user when the chew stick 100 is moved to a hidden corner by the pet.

[0052] It should be noted that the buzzer 306 has a built-in vibration motor, and the control chip 305 has a built-in timing module. The control chip 305 records the usage time of the scent container 203 through the timing module.

[0053] The buzzer 306 uses a built-in vibration motor to generate regular vibrations when the pet chews on it. These vibrations are transmitted to the pet's mouth through the chew stick 100 to simulate the dynamic touch of prey. Combined with olfactory stimulation, this further stimulates the pet's chewing instinct. The control chip 305 uses a built-in timing module to record the usage time of the scent container 203 in real time and emits a prompt sound through the buzzer 306 to remind the user to change the scent source.

[0054] During use, the user can put the pet's favorite treats into the scent container 203, then fix the scent container 203 by rotating it through the threaded post 202. Next, the limit block 204 is aligned with the limit groove 205 and inserted to push the scent container 203 into the chew stick 100. At this time, the sealing plate 201 simultaneously forms a seal on the open end of the chew stick 100. Then, the control chip 305 controls the drive motor 302 to drive the locking block 303 to rotate so that the locking block 303 is engaged with the L-shaped plate 304 at the bottom of the scent container 203. Then, the output shaft of the drive motor 302 automatically locks to lock the scent container 203 inside the chew stick 100. After locking is completed, the control chip 305 can trigger the buzzer 306 to make it emit a locking completion prompt sound.

[0055] Scent molecules inside the scent container 203 diffuse to the outside through the vents 101 on the surface of the chew stick 100, effectively stimulating the pet's chewing interest. When the chew stick 100 is moved to a hidden corner by the pet, the user can remotely use the control chip 305 to emit a sound through the buzzer 306 to indicate the location of the chew stick 100. After the scent has evaporated, the drive motor 302 drives the locking block 303 to rotate again, separating it from the L-shaped plate 304 to release the lock on the scent container 203. When the buzzer 306 emits a lock engagement prompt, the scent container 203 is pulled out of the chew stick 100 and rotated to separate it from the threaded post 202, so that the scent source for new pet treats, pet food, etc. can be replaced.

[0056] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
