[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 3A stool suitable for both humans and pets includes a first stool body 1 and a second stool body 2. The first stool body 1 includes an upwardly inclined stool body 11 and a downwardly inclined stool body 12. One end of the downwardly inclined stool body 12 is connected to one side of the second stool body 2, and the other end of the downwardly inclined stool body 12 is hinged to one end of the upwardly inclined stool body 11. The hinge can be achieved using a hinge, pivot, or other structure. The upper surface of the downwardly inclined stool body 12 is a downwardly inclined surface (not shown in the figure), and the lower surface of the upwardly inclined stool body 11 is an upwardly inclined surface (not shown in the figure). The upwardly inclined stool body 11 is a right-angled triangular prism, and the downwardly inclined stool body 12 is a trapezoidal body with a right-angled trapezoidal side. In this embodiment, the downwardly inclined stool body 12 is a floor-standing design, meaning it rests directly on the ground and is supported by the ground. In other embodiments, the downwardly inclined stool body 12 may be configured with legs, with the ground supporting the legs, and the legs supporting the downwardly inclined stool body 12. The upward-inclined stool 11 can rotate upward or downward relative to the end of the upward-inclined stool 11 that is hinged to the downward-inclined stool 12. For example... Figure 2 When the upper inclined stool 11 rotates upward, it stacks on top of the lower inclined stool 12, with the upper inclined surface tightly against the lower inclined surface. The upper inclined stool 11 and the lower inclined stool 12 form an approximately cubic first stool 1, and the first stool 1 and the second stool 2 are arranged together; at this point, a stool shape is formed, and in this shape, the stool can be used as a stool, footstool, bed end stool, side table, etc. Figure 1 and Figure 3 When the upper inclined stool 11 rotates downwards, it is equivalent to the upper inclined stool 11 being flipped over. At this time, the upper inclined surface faces upwards, and the upper inclined surface and the lower inclined surface are joined together to form a ramp. The upper end of the ramp is connected to the upper end of the second stool 2. At this time, the upper inclined stool 11 and the lower inclined stool 12 are in an unfolded state and form a climbing shape. In this form, the stool can be used as a climbing ladder for pets such as cats and dogs. After climbing up the ramp, they can also climb to the upper end of the second stool 2 to stay or jump to the ground. In this form, people can also use the stool with their pets. For example, people can sit on the second stool 2 and encourage or guide their pets to climb the ramp. After the pets have climbed the ramp, people can also play with their pets on the second stool 2.

[0023] By configuring the first stool 1 into a configuration consisting of an upwardly tilted stool 11 and a downwardly tilted stool 12, with the two stools hinged together, the stool can serve at least two purposes: as a stool and a climbing ladder for pets. The stool's simple structure makes it ideal for pet owners, eliminating the need to purchase a separate climbing ladder for their pets. A single device achieves dual functionality for both humans and pets, saving living space and reducing user costs. Switching between different uses is also convenient and easy. When used as a climbing ladder for pets, the stool allows them to play, and after climbing, they can rest on the second stool 2 and continue jumping down to the ground. The climbing ladder is particularly suitable for breeds with shorter legs, such as Teddy and Corgi, and also for older dogs. Compared to dogs jumping on regular stools or sofas, the climbing ladder configuration of this stool protects the dog's joints and provides greater security. By setting up a second stool body 2, the stool can be used as a stool in any state; when the stool is used as a climbing step for pets, people can also sit on the second stool body 2 and play with their pets, improving its practicality; when the stool is used as a regular stool, the first stool body 1 and the second stool body 2 are combined to form a longer stool, which is convenient for people to use and also convenient for people and pets to sit together.

[0024] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 After the upper inclined stool 11 is rotated upwards, it is stacked on top of the lower inclined stool 12, with the upper inclined surface tightly against the lower inclined surface. At this time, the upper end surface of the upper inclined stool 11 is flush with the upper end surface of the second stool 2. This arrangement makes it convenient for people to use the stool as a regular stool, side table, bed end stool, or other furniture; it also makes it more stable for pets to walk on the first stool 1 and the second stool 2.

[0025] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 A handle 6 is provided at the end of the upper inclined stool 11 away from its hinge point with the lower inclined stool 12. The handle 6 can be a strip of cloth sewn onto the upper inclined stool 11 or a strip of cloth wrapped into a loop. By providing the handle 6, it is convenient for people to rotate the upper inclined stool 11 upward to fold it or rotate it downward to unfold it.

[0026] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 3The upper surface of the inclined stool 11 is provided with a first soft pad 3. When the stool is used as a climbing step, the upper surface of the inclined stool 11 rests on the ground. At this time, because the upper surface of the inclined stool 11 is provided with the first soft pad 3, the pet has better cushioning when climbing, which can protect the dog's joints and give the dog a greater sense of security. When the inclined stool 11 is stacked on the lower inclined stool 12, the upper surface of the inclined stool 11 is the upper surface of the entire first stool 1. At this time, people or pets can sit on the first stool 1, and the first soft pad 3 can improve the comfort of people or pets. More preferably, the upper surface of the second stool 2 is provided with a second soft pad 4. By setting the second soft pad 4, it is more comfortable for people to sit on the second stool 2, and it is also more comfortable for pets to sit and walk on the second stool 2.

[0027] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 Both the upper and lower inclined surfaces are provided with climbing fabric 5, which is mainly used to facilitate pets to climb on the slope. Specifically, the climbing fabric 5 can be made of polyester fiber or sisal padding to provide cushioning and anti-slip properties, effectively protecting the pet's leg joints. Velcro is provided on the bottom surface of the climbing fabric 5, allowing it to be directly attached to the upper and lower inclined surfaces for convenience, quickness, and easy removal and replacement. In other embodiments, the climbing fabric 5 can also be fixed to the upper and lower inclined surfaces by adhesive backing or sewing.

[0028] In some embodiments, when the upward-sloping stool 11 rotates downward so that the upward-sloping surface faces upward and forms a slope with the downward-sloping surface, the inclination angle of the slope (the inclination angle relative to the ground) is ∠A (not shown in the figure), 20°≤∠A≤40°. Within the range of 20° to 40°, the climbing stairs are more friendly to Corgis, Teddy dogs, and senior dogs, reducing the impact on their knees and spine; specifically, according to veterinary recommendations, setting the inclination angle at 23° is more scientifically sound.

[0029] In some embodiments, the tilting stool 12 and the second stool 2 are detachably connected. For example, holes can be drilled at corresponding locations on the tilting stool 12 and the second stool 2, bolts can be passed through the holes in the tilting stool 12 and the second stool 2, and then nuts can be tightened onto the bolts to connect the tilting stool 12 and the second stool 2 together. In other methods, the tilting stool 12 and the second stool 2 can also be directly connected together using cable ties, straps, etc.; or they can be connected together using connecting pieces, connecting buckles, etc. The detachable connection between the tilting stool 12 and the second stool 2 facilitates disassembly during transportation for convenient packaging and transport; it also allows users to easily separate the first stool 1 and the second stool 2 for use as needed, meeting diverse usage requirements.

[0030] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4The second stool 2 has a frame structure. Specifically, the second stool 2 includes a front frame 21, a rear frame 22, and first connecting rods 23. The front frame 21 and the rear frame 22 have the same structure, both being square frames, meaning that both the front frame 21 and the rear frame 22 are frames composed of four rods connected end to end. Since the front frame 21 and the rear frame 22 are square frames, there are four first connecting rods 23 connecting the front frame 21 and the rear frame 22. The front frame 21 and the rear frame 22 are opposite each other and spaced apart, with the four corners of the front frame 21 connected to the four corners of the rear frame 22 by different first connecting rods 23. The frame structure of the second stool 2 reduces manufacturing and transportation costs, and the frame structure allows pets to walk through, increasing their play options; additionally, the frame structure also facilitates storage, such as for pet toys and supplies.

[0031] Specifically, the two ends of the first connecting rod 23 are detachably connected to the front frame 21 and the rear frame 22, respectively. For example, connecting pieces can be provided at both ends of the first connecting rod 23, and holes can be drilled in the connecting pieces. At the same time, threaded holes can be drilled at corresponding positions in the front frame 21 and the rear frame 22. Screws can be screwed into the threaded holes of the front frame 21 and the rear frame 22 through the holes in the connecting pieces, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the first connecting rod 23 and the front frame 21 and the rear frame 22. Of course, in other embodiments, the two ends of the first connecting rod 23 can be detachably connected to the front frame 21 and the rear frame 22 by means of snap-fit ​​or embedding. By setting the first connecting rod 23 to be detachably connected to the front frame 21 and the rear frame 22, it is convenient for mass production and can greatly reduce transportation costs during transportation before assembly. Users can also quickly assemble or disassemble the rod according to their needs and store it conveniently.

[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5The inclined stool 11 has a frame structure. The inclined stool 11 includes a front triangular frame 111, a rear triangular frame 112, and a second connecting rod 113. The front triangular frame 111 and the rear triangular frame 112 have the same structure, both being right-angled triangular frames, meaning they are frames composed of three rods connected end-to-end. In other embodiments, the front triangular frame 111 and the rear triangular frame 112 can be right-angled trapezoidal frames, with the side furthest from the hinge point of the inclined stool 11 and the lower inclined stool 12 forming the upper base of the trapezoid, and the upper base being shorter so that when the inclined stool 11 rotates downwards, the bottom of the inclined surface is closer to the ground. The front triangular frame 111 and the rear triangular frame 112 are positioned opposite each other and spaced apart. The two ends of the second connecting rod 113 are detachably connected to the front triangular frame 111 and the rear triangular frame 112, respectively. The detachable connection method can refer to the method described above where the first connecting rod 23 is detachably connected to the front frame 21 and the rear frame 22. In this embodiment, two second connecting rods 113 are provided, and both second connecting rods 113 are detachably connected to the front triangular frame 111 and the rear triangular frame 112; this improves the stability of the structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the number of second connecting rods 113 can be other, such as one, three, four, etc. Setting the inclined stool 11 as a frame structure can reduce manufacturing costs and transportation costs, and the frame structure allows pets to walk through, increasing the ways pets can play. By setting the second connecting rods 113 to be detachably connected to the front triangular frame 111 and the rear triangular frame 112, mass production can be facilitated, and transportation costs can be greatly reduced during transportation before assembly; users can also quickly assemble or disassemble the stool according to their needs for easy storage.
