[0002] Pet slides are walkways designed specifically for pets and are commonly used in homes, veterinary clinics, and pet stores to provide pets with a safe and convenient path for movement.

[0003] Its core function is to allow pets (such as cats and dogs) to easily cross height differences, pass through narrow spaces, or move freely between different areas through a reasonable structural design, while reducing the risk of injury caused by climbing and jumping.

[0004] Traditional pet slide hinges often use a planar structure or a small-angle bend, such as less than 170°, which cannot effectively convert vertical gravity into tangential force. This causes the slide to sag noticeably when the pet walks, increasing the risk of the pet slipping.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a robust and stable pet slide hinge structure that counteracts gravity to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] First Embodiment

[0019] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the first embodiment of a robust and stable pet slide hinge structure that counteracts gravity provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the connecting device.

[0020] A robust and stable hinge structure for pet slides that counteracts gravity. It includes: a slide rail 1 and a connecting device 2; the two connecting devices 2 are respectively disposed on the front and rear sides of the bottom between the two slide rails 1. The connecting device 2 includes a first metal sheet 21, a second metal sheet 22 and a rivet fixing hole 23. The first metal sheet 21 and the second metal sheet 22 are rotatably connected to each other. The two rivet fixing holes 23 are respectively opened on one side of the surface of the first metal sheet 21 and the second metal sheet 22.

[0021] The supporting hardware components 1 (21) and 2 (22) are made of 6mm thick plates and are produced by integral cutting and stamping, which makes the hinge itself more supportive.

[0022] The working principle of the robust and stable pet slide hinge structure that counteracts gravity provided by this utility model is as follows: During operation, when hardware parts 1 (21) and 2 (22) are cut, a 179° bevel is made at the front end. After hardware part 1 (21) undergoes a bending and stamping process, it cooperates with hardware part 2 (22) and is riveted in the middle. It can rotate around the rivet. When unfolded on the pet slide, the 179° bevel at the front end makes the slide arched. When the pet or heavy object walks on the slide, the pressure generated by gravity is decomposed by the arched structure, so that the hinge structure itself generates a reverse support force through deformation, thereby offsetting part of the weight of the pet or heavy object, preventing the slide from deforming due to force, and keeping the slide stable. According to the principle of mechanics, the arched structure can convert the vertical load acting on it into pressure along the direction of the arch curve, and the pressure is transmitted along the arch to the support points at both ends.

[0023] Compared with related technologies, the robust and stable pet slide hinge structure that counteracts gravity provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This utility model provides a robust and stable pet slide hinge structure that counteracts gravity. Through the cooperation of hardware sheet 21, hardware sheet 22, and rivet fixing holes 23, installation and use are simple. Users can easily install it on the pet slide. The arched structure formed by the 179° inclined plane converts gravity into pressure and distributes it evenly to both ends, avoiding excessive force at a single point. Under this dual effect, the pet slide is less prone to deformation and loosening when bearing heavy objects, significantly improving its robustness and stability. The mechanical properties of the arched structure allow the hinge to actively generate a reverse support force, counteracting the weight of the pet or heavy object, reducing the vertical pressure on the slide, lowering the risk of slide damage due to gravity, and extending the slide's service life. Simultaneously, the stable slide allows pets to pass safely and comfortably, reducing the possibility of pets being startled or injured due to slide swaying or sagging. During use, it possesses a robust structure that counteracts gravity, ensuring a stable slide installation.

The second embodiment is merely a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, and the implementation of the second embodiment will not affect the separate implementation of the first embodiment.

[0026] Specifically, the second embodiment of this application provides a robust and stable pet slide hinge structure that counteracts gravity, wherein a rivet 3 is provided inside the rivet fixing hole 23, an insertion hole 5 is provided in the middle of one side of the rivet 3, and locking holes 6 are provided on both sides inside the insertion hole 5, and a limiting device 4 is engaged with the thread on the outer surface of the rivet 3.

[0027] The limiting device 4 includes a nut 41, a connecting rod 42, a vertical rod 43, an insert rod 44, opening holes 45, and a locking member 46. The nut 41 is threaded onto the outer surface of the rivet 3. The connecting rod 42 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the nut 41. The vertical rod 43 is fixedly installed on one end of the connecting rod 42. The insert rod 44 is fixedly installed on one end of the vertical rod 43. The two opening holes 45 are respectively opened on both sides of the outer surface of the insert rod 44. The locking member 46 is disposed inside the opening holes 45.

[0028] The locking component 46 includes a slide rod 461, a limiting block 462, an elastic element 463, a moving block 464, a sliding hole 465, a limiting cavity 466, and a locking block 467. The slide rod 461 is fixedly installed in the middle of the opening hole 45. The limiting block 462 is fixedly installed at one end of the slide rod 461. The elastic element 463 is sleeved on one side of the outer surface of the slide rod 461. The moving block 464 is slidably installed on the other side of the outer surface of the slide rod 461. The sliding hole 465 is opened in the middle of one side of the moving block 464. The limiting cavity 466 is opened in the middle of the interior of the moving block 464. The locking block 467 is fixedly installed on the other side of the outer surface of the moving block 464.

[0029] The card hole 6 is in the shape of a hemispherical groove, and the card block 467 is in the shape of a hemispherical protrusion. The diameters of the card hole 6 and the card block 467 are matched.

[0030] The elastic element 463 adopts a spring structure, and one end of the elastic element 463 is fixedly connected to the surface of the moving block 464.

[0031] The diameter of the limiting cavity 462 is adapted to the diameter of the limiting block 462, and the length of the limiting cavity 462 is longer than the length of the limiting block 462.

[0032] When the nut 41 engages with the rivet 3 and moves to fit against the surface of the hardware sheet 22, the locking hole 6 and the opening hole 45 are connected.

[0033] The working principle of the robust and stable pet slide hinge structure that counteracts gravity provided by this utility model is as follows: During operation, the rivet 3 is first threaded into the rivet fixing hole 23, the hardware sheet 21 and the hardware sheet 22 are assembled together, and the nut 41 is threaded onto the shank of the rivet 3. As the nut 41 threadedly engages the rivet 3 shank and approaches and adheres to the surface of the hardware sheet 22, the insert rod 44 is inserted into the insert hole 5. The inner wall of the insert hole 5 presses against the locking block 467, pressing the locking block 467 into the opening hole 45. The locking block 467 drives the moving block 464 to move and presses against the elastic element 463.

[0034] When the locking hole 6 and the opening hole 45 are connected, the restoring elastic force of the elastic element 463 pushes the moving block 464, and the moving block 464 drives 467 to be embedded into the interior of the locking hole 6, so that the nut 41 is restricted by the force of the elastic element 463 to the outer surface of the rivet 3 and is not easy to rotate, thus preventing the nut 41 from loosening.

[0035] Compared with related technologies, the robust and stable pet slide hinge structure that counteracts gravity provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: This invention provides a robust and stable pet track hinge structure that counteracts gravity. After installing a rivet 3 through the internal thread engagement of the rivet fixing hole 23, a nut 41 is installed on the rivet 3 rod. As the nut 41 is threaded and assembled and approaches the surface of the hardware sheet, the insert rod 44 is inserted into the insert hole 5, causing the elastic element 463 to push the locking block 467 into the locking hole 6. The restoring elastic force of the elastic element 463 pushes the locking block 467 to restrict the nut 41. This device has a simple structure, strong practicality, improves the stability of the rivet 3 installed in the rivet fixing hole 23, avoids the rivet 3 from loosening and slipping due to vibration, and improves the safety of the connection.
