Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet supplies technology, specifically a pendulum movement. Background Technology

[0002] In the pet supplies industry, pet toys with swinging mechanisms have become common interactive products because their dynamic effects can attract pets' attention. However, the swinging mechanisms of existing similar products often suffer from limited functionality. Most single pendulum mechanisms can only achieve reciprocating swings along a fixed trajectory, and their swing patterns remain unchanged. After prolonged use, this can easily lead to boredom in pets and reduce their interest in playing. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a single pendulum movement to solve the aforementioned problems in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a pendulum movement, the pendulum movement comprising a housing and a groove disposed on the housing, at least a portion of the edge of the groove having an arched limiting surface, a rotating shaft connected to the housing and accommodated within the groove, a pendulum arm detachably connected to the rotating shaft, the pendulum arm having a protrusion disposed within the groove, the protrusion abutting against the edge of the groove during the pendulum arm swinging, the pendulum arm having a first swinging form, and the protrusion abutting against the arched limiting surface during the pendulum arm swinging, the pendulum arm having a second swinging form.

[0006] In one embodiment, in the first swing mode, when the swing arm rotates to the maximum angle on the first side of the pivot axis, the protrusion abuts against the edge of the groove. When the swing arm rotates to the maximum angle on the second side of the pivot axis, the swing arm abuts against the arched limiting surface. At this time, the maximum angle of the swing arm rotating to both sides of the pivot axis is equal, thereby the swing arm swings back and forth along a bilaterally symmetrical trajectory centered on the pivot axis.

[0007] In one embodiment, in the second swing mode, when the swing arm rotates to the maximum angle toward the first side of the pivot axis, the swing arm abuts against the edge of the groove; when the swing arm rotates to the maximum angle toward the second side of the pivot axis, the protrusion abuts against the arched limiting surface. At this time, the maximum angle of the swing arm rotating toward the first side of the pivot axis is greater than the maximum angle of the swing arm rotating toward the second side of the pivot axis, thereby the swing arm swings back and forth along a unilateral bias trajectory centered on the pivot axis.

[0008] In one embodiment, the pendulum movement further includes a driving component, which includes a gear cavity and a mounting cavity disposed within the housing. The gear cavity is provided with a gear set, and the mounting cavity is provided with an output element. The output element drives the rotating shaft to rotate through the gear set.

[0009] In one embodiment, the housing has a storage hole on its side.

[0010] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. This pendulum mechanism allows the pendulum arm to present two different swing patterns through the contact and cooperation between the protrusion on the pendulum arm and the edge of the groove or the arched limiting surface. This enhances the interactivity of the toy, prevents pets from getting bored due to facing a fixed swing pattern for a long time, and thus increases the pets' interest in playing.

[0012] 2. The storage hole on the side of the pendulum movement housing facilitates the expansion of the pendulum movement's functions. Items that can attract pets, such as catnip, can be placed in the storage hole. Combining two different swing patterns, it can stimulate pets from both visual and olfactory perspectives, further enhancing the pet's attention to the toy and their interest in playing.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the pendulum mechanism disclosed in this embodiment includes a housing 1 and a groove 10 disposed on the housing 1. At least a portion of the edge of the groove 10 is provided with an arched limiting surface 100. A rotating shaft 2 is connected to the housing 1 and accommodated within the groove 10. A pendulum arm 3 is detachably connected to the rotating shaft 2. The pendulum arm 3 is provided with a protrusion 30, which is accommodated within the groove 10. When the pendulum arm 3 swings and the protrusion 30 abuts against the edge of the groove 10, the pendulum arm 3 has a first swing mode. When the pendulum arm 3 swings and the protrusion 30 abuts against the arched limiting surface 100, the pendulum arm 3 has a second swing mode. Through the abutment and cooperation between the protrusion 30 on the pendulum arm 3 and the edge of the groove 10 or the arched limiting surface 100, the pendulum arm 3 can present two different swing modes, enhancing the interactivity of the toy and preventing pets from becoming bored due to facing a fixed swing mode for a long time, thereby increasing the pet's interest in playing.

[0024] like Figure 4As shown, when the swing arm 3 rotates to the first side of the rotating shaft 2 at its maximum angle in the first swing state, the protrusion 30 abuts against the edge of the groove 10. When the swing arm 3 rotates to the second side of the rotating shaft 2 at its maximum angle, the swing arm 3 abuts against the arched limiting surface 100. At this time, the maximum angle of rotation of the swing arm 3 to both sides of the rotating shaft 2 is equal. If the swing arm 3 rotates 60 degrees to each side of the rotating shaft 2, the swing arm 3 will reciprocate along a symmetrical trajectory centered on the rotating shaft 2.

[0025] like Figure 5 As shown, the swing arm 3 is reversed so that in the second swing state, when the swing arm 3 rotates to the first side of the rotating shaft 2 to the maximum angle, the swing arm 3 abuts against the edge of the groove 10. When the swing arm 3 rotates to the second side of the rotating shaft 2 to the maximum angle, the protrusion 30 abuts against the arched limiting surface 100. At this time, the maximum angle of the swing arm 3 rotating to the first side of the rotating shaft 2 is greater than the maximum angle of the swing arm 3 rotating to the second side of the rotating shaft 2. For example, if the swing arm 3 rotates 110 degrees to the first side of the rotating shaft 2 and 10 degrees to the second side of the rotating shaft 2, the swing arm 3 will swing back and forth along a unilateral bias trajectory centered on the rotating shaft 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, the first side of the rotating shaft 2 is the left side of the rotating shaft 2, and the second side of the rotating shaft 2 is the right side of the rotating shaft 2.

[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the pendulum mechanism also includes a drive component 4. The drive component 4 includes a gear cavity 40 and a mounting cavity 41 disposed within the housing 1. The gear cavity 40 contains a gear set 400, and the mounting cavity 41 contains an output element 410. The output end of the gear set 400 is connected to the rotating shaft 2, and the input end of the gear set 400 is connected to the output element 410. Thus, the output element 410 can drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate through the gear set 400. In this embodiment, the output element 410 is a motor.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, unlike Embodiment 1, the pendulum mechanism disclosed in this embodiment has a storage hole 5 on the side of its housing 1. This storage hole 5 facilitates the functional expansion of the pendulum mechanism, allowing the installation of items that attract pets, such as catnip, inside the storage hole 5. By combining two different swing patterns, the mechanism can simultaneously stimulate the pet from both visual and olfactory perspectives, further enhancing the pet's attention to the toy and its interest in playing.

[0030] Any aspects of this utility model not described in detail are well-known technologies to those skilled in the art.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications and 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 and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
