Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a felt storage table. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, pet ownership has become an important part of many families. To provide pets with a comfortable living environment, various pet beds, pet trees, and pet toys have emerged. Among them, storage platforms that combine resting, playing, and storage functions are increasingly popular with pet owners, especially products made of soft and warm materials such as felt, which are favored for their environmental friendliness, harmlessness, and ease of shaping.

[0003] Most felt pet stands on the market are currently fixed, one-piece structures or simple modular furniture. These existing technologies have the following drawbacks: 1. Limited functionality and low space utilization: Traditional pet stands typically only provide a platform or a closed nest, failing to effectively utilize multiple levels of space. When the pet rests on the lower level, the upper space is often wasted; conversely, if the upper level is used for storage or as a platform, the closed nest on the lower level makes the space feel cramped and lacks openness. 2. Fixed structure and non-adjustable: Most products have fixed structures and dimensions at the factory, making it impossible to flexibly adjust and expand them according to different stages of a pet's growth, changes in home space layout, or temporary functional needs of the user, thus limiting the product's applicability and lifespan. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a felt shelf that can increase the versatility of the shelf, save space, and serve two purposes.

[0005] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is as follows: This utility model has a base plate and a top plate; the base plate and the top plate are fixedly connected by a connector; the base plate is provided with a plurality of first slots evenly arranged along the contour direction of the base plate; the top plate is provided with a plurality of second slots evenly arranged along the contour direction of the top plate and corresponding one-to-one with each of the first slots; the connector includes a first long plate whose two ends can respectively form a plug-in engagement with the first slot and the second slot, a first lower short plate that can form a plug-in engagement with the first slot, and a first upper short plate that can form a plug-in engagement with the second slot. Multiple first lower and upper short boards are provided. At least two consecutive first slots are fitted with first lower short boards, and second slots corresponding to the first slots fitted with first lower short boards are fitted with first upper short boards. The remaining first and second slots are respectively fitted with the two ends of the first long board. The bottom plate, top plate, first lower short board, first upper short board and first long board form an activity space for pets to enter. The first lower short board, first upper short board and the nearest first long board form the entrance to the activity space. There are also detachable baffles installed on the first long boards on both sides of the entrance.

[0006] Furthermore, the baffle is fixedly provided with extension rollers corresponding to the first long plates on both sides of the entrance. The detachable first long plate with the baffle is provided with a transverse groove extending toward the activity space and a vertical groove communicating with the transverse groove and extending toward the bottom plate. The two sides of the transverse groove and the vertical groove are connected to the outside. The transverse groove and the vertical groove can both allow the extension roller to pass through and can form a sliding fit with the extension roller. The first long plate on both sides of the entrance is provided with the transverse groove and the vertical groove. The baffle is detachably installed on the first long plate on both sides of the entrance through the sliding fit between the extension roller and the transverse groove and the vertical groove.
