Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet equipment, and more specifically, to a head fixation bracket for cleaning cat tartar. Background Technology

[0002] Cats are a very common pet, but few people brush their teeth regularly. As a result, food debris accumulates on their teeth over time, forming tartar. Tartar can cause various oral diseases in cats, such as mouth ulcers, difficulty chewing, and viral infections. Therefore, regular dental cleanings are necessary for cats.

[0003] However, current tartar removal processes lack dedicated head and body restraint devices for cats, relying mostly on ordinary restraint tools or manual pressure for fixation. This results in several problems: firstly, poor adaptability, as the restraint size cannot be adjusted according to different breeds (such as small British Shorthairs and large Maine Coons) and body sizes, leading to either loose restraints causing the cat to move around and hindering cleaning, or tight restraints causing discomfort; secondly, a lack of protective design, with rigid restraints easily abrading the cat's skin, and tartar debris, saliva, and other debris easily accumulating in the gaps of the restraint components, making them difficult to clean; and thirdly, the restraint angle cannot be flexibly adjusted, requiring repeated adjustments when cleaning both sides of the cat's teeth, making the process cumbersome and inefficient. There is an urgent need for a dedicated restraint bracket that is highly adaptable, provides good protection, and is easy to clean to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a head fixing bracket for cleaning cat teeth stones, including a bracket positioning plate placed flat on a horizontal working plane. The bracket positioning plate has several through positioning holes. Several sets of body kits are arranged above the bracket positioning plate. The body kits include two sets of upper and lower pressure plates arranged symmetrically. Velcro is provided at the edges of both ends of the two sets of pressure plates. The upper and lower sets of pressure plates are glued into a ring shape by the Velcro. Insertion plate mechanisms that cooperate with the positioning holes are provided at the top and bottom of the two sets of pressure plates, which are far apart. The pressure plates can be rotated and fixed on the insertion plate mechanisms.

[0005] In a preferred embodiment, the insert plate mechanism includes a long strip-shaped insert plate with a bearing embedded in the middle. A rotating shaft is inserted into the bearing, and an insert rod is installed on the outer surface of the insert plate on both sides of the bearing. The two insert rods are symmetrically arranged through the bearing, and the diameter of the insert rod is the same as the inner diameter of the positioning hole. The pressure plate rotates on the insert plate through the rotating shaft.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the insert plate is further provided with a through screw hole, into which a headless screw is inserted.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the insert rod and the pressure plate are located on both sides of the insert plate, and the end of the headless screw abuts against the pressure plate to fix the pressure plate at an angle. The screw groove of the headless screw is located at the end away from the pressure plate. After the pressure plate is fixed on the insert plate mechanism, the end of the headless screw with the screw groove does not protrude on the surface of the insert plate.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the pressure plate includes a support block fixed to the end of the rotating shaft, the support block and the insertion rod are respectively located on both sides of the insertion plate, the support block is attached to the surface of the insertion plate, an arc-shaped pressure plate is fixed to the end of the support block, a sponge pad layer is attached to the concave outer surface of the pressure plate, and Velcro is provided at both ends of the pressure plate.

[0009] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] This invention employs multi-part fixation to enhance overall stability and adapt to the activity restraint needs of cats of different sizes; it can be quickly re-fixed after flipping, making operation efficient and facilitating cleaning of both sides of the teeth; the angle adjustment and multiple positioning holes further adapt to the differences in cat body structure, reducing cleaning difficulty and improving practicality.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.

[0016] like Figure 1-3 The head fixing bracket for cleaning cat teeth calculus shown includes a bracket positioning plate 100 placed flat on a horizontal working plane. The bracket positioning plate 100 has several through positioning holes 200. Several sets of body kits 300 are arranged above the bracket positioning plate 100. The body kits 300 include two sets of upper and lower pressure plates 310 arranged symmetrically. Velcro 320 is provided at the edges of both ends of the two sets of pressure plates 310. The upper and lower sets of pressure plates 310 are glued into a ring shape by the Velcro 320. The top and bottom of the two sets of pressure plates 310, which are far apart, are provided with insertion plate mechanisms 330 that cooperate with the positioning holes 200. The pressure plates 310 can rotate and be fixed on the insertion plate mechanisms 330.

[0017] Based on the above, the bracket positioning plate 100 provides a horizontal support base for the device. Multiple through-holes 200 evenly spaced on its surface allow for flexible selection of different spacing between the positioning holes 200 and the insertion rods 334 of the insertion plate mechanism 330, depending on the cat breed (e.g., small British Shorthair, medium Ragdoll, large Maine Coon) and size. This adjusts the installation position and spacing of the body kit 300 to suit different cat body proportions. The through-hole structure also allows tartar debris, saliva, and other debris generated during cleaning to fall naturally or be flushed out with the rinsing water, preventing accumulation. The upper and lower pressure plates 310 of the body kit 300 are connected in a ring shape by Velcro 320, allowing for a snug fit around the cat's neck, torso, and other areas, providing multiple layers of fixation and preventing head or body displacement during cleaning. The insertion plate mechanism 330 connects the pressure plates 310 to the positioning holes 200, while also allowing the pressure plates 310 to rotate to adapt to the cat's body curvature, achieving a coordinated "positioning-fixing-adaptation" process.

[0018] Furthermore, the multi-positioning hole 200 design allows for flexible adjustment of the body kit 300 position according to the cat's breed and size, making it highly versatile; the through-hole positioning hole 200 facilitates rinsing away debris and prevents bacterial growth; the Velcro 320 facilitates quick opening and closing, reducing the difficulty of putting the cat in and taking it out, and improving operational efficiency; among them, the hook side of the Velcro 320 with hooks faces outwards, so it does not come into contact with the cat's fur and avoids snagging on the fur.

[0019] In one embodiment, the insert plate mechanism 330 includes a long strip-shaped insert plate 331, a bearing 332 is embedded in the middle of the insert plate 331, a rotating shaft 333 is inserted into the bearing 332, and an insert rod 334 is installed on the outer surface of the insert plate 331 on both sides of the bearing 332. The two insert rods 334 are symmetrically arranged through the bearing 332. The diameter of the insert rods 334 is the same as the inner diameter of the positioning hole 200. The pressure plate 310 rotates on the insert plate 331 through the rotating shaft 333.

[0020] Based on the above, the insert plate 331 provides an installation carrier for the insert rods 334 and the bearings 332. The diameter of the symmetrically arranged insert rods 334 is precisely matched with the positioning holes 200, ensuring that the insert rods 334 are stable and do not wobble after being inserted into different positioning holes 200, providing reliable support for the body kit 300. The bearings 332 are embedded in the middle of the insert plate 331, and the rotating shaft 333 is inserted into it and connected to the pressure plate 310. Utilizing the rotational characteristics of the bearings 332, the pressure plate 310 can rotate flexibly around the rotating shaft 333. Even when facing the differences in the curvature of the body and neck of cats of different sizes (such as short and fat Garfield cats and long and thin Siamese cats), it can be accurately adapted to avoid compressing the cat's body when fixing.

[0021] Furthermore, the symmetrical insert rod 334 enhances positioning stability and prevents the body kit 300 from shifting; the cooperation between the bearing 332 and the rotating shaft 333 enables flexible adjustment of the angle of the pressure plate 310 to adapt to the body curves of cats of different sizes and reduce discomfort when the cat is fixed; the insert rod 334 is compatible with the multi-positioning hole 200, further expanding the applicability of the device.

[0022] In one embodiment, the insert plate 331 is further provided with a through screw hole 335, and a headless screw 336 is inserted into the screw hole 335.

[0023] Based on the above, the screw hole 335 on the insert plate 331 provides an installation channel for the headless screw 336, which can move axially along the screw hole 335. After adjusting the angle of the pressure plate 310 according to the cat's body size, the headless screw 336 is rotated so that its end abuts against the support block 311 of the pressure plate 310. Through the self-locking of the screw thread and the screw hole 335 and the end pressure, the pressure plate 310 is firmly fixed at the current angle, preventing the pressure plate 310 from rotating and shifting due to the cat's movement during cleaning, and ensuring consistent fixing stability for cats of different body sizes.

[0024] Furthermore, the headless screw 336 cooperates with the screw hole 335 to precisely fix the pressure plate 310 at different adjustment angles, which is firmly fixed and easy to adjust; the headless design avoids the screw end protruding, so that the surface of the insert plate 331 can directly fit with the surface of the bracket positioning plate 100.

[0025] In one embodiment, the insertion rod 334 and the pressure plate 310 are located on both sides of the insertion plate 331, and the end of the headless screw 336 abuts against the pressure plate 310 to fix the pressure plate 310 at an angle. The screw groove 337 of the headless screw 336 is located at the end away from the pressure plate 310. After the pressure plate 310 is fixed on the insertion plate mechanism 330, the end of the headless screw 336 with the screw groove 337 does not protrude on the surface of the insertion plate 331.

[0026] Based on the above, the insertion rod 334 and the pressure plate 310 are respectively located on both sides of the insertion plate 331, so that the insertion plate mechanism 330 is subjected to balanced force. Even if it is inserted into the positioning hole 200 at different positions, it can avoid the insertion rod 334 from coming out of the positioning hole 200 due to unilateral force. The screw groove 337 of the headless screw 336 faces away from the pressure plate 310, which not only makes it convenient to use tools to rotate the screw for angle fixation, but also ensures that the end of the screw does not protrude after fixation, so that the surface of the insertion plate 331 can directly fit with the surface of the bracket positioning plate 100. The design of the end pressing against the pressure plate 310 enhances the stability of angle fixation through surface contact pressure, and can maintain the fixation effect without loosening regardless of the size of the cat.

[0027] In one embodiment, the pressure plate 310 includes a support block 311 fixed to the end of the rotating shaft 333. The support block 311 and the insertion rod 334 are respectively located on both sides of the insertion plate 331. The support block 311 is attached to the surface of the insertion plate 331. An arc-shaped pressure plate 312 is fixed to the end of the support block 311. A sponge pad layer 313 is attached to the concave outer surface of the pressure plate 312. Velcro 320 located at both ends of the pressure plate 310 is provided at both ends of the pressure plate 312.

[0028] Based on the above, the support block 311 has a rotating shaft 333 fixed at one end and a pressure plate 312 connected at the other end, which serves to transmit force and connect the structure. It also fits the surface of the insert plate 331 to enhance the stability of the pressure plate 310 when it rotates. The concave surface of the arc-shaped pressure plate 312 fits the body and neck arc contours of cats of different sizes (such as kittens, adult cats, and senior cats), which can increase the contact area with the cat's body and improve the fixation fit. The sponge pad layer 313 fits the concave surface of the pressure plate 312 and cushions the pressure of the pressure plate 312 on the cat's skin through its own flexibility. Even for cats with sensitive skin (such as hairless cats), it can avoid pressure marks or friction damage during fixation. The Velcro 320 is set at both ends of the pressure plate 312, which makes it easy for the upper and lower pressure plates 310 to be quickly glued into a ring shape. The tightness can be adjusted according to the thickness of the cat's body to achieve a circumferential fixation for cats of different sizes.

[0029] Furthermore, the curved pressure plate 312 conforms to the body contours of cats of different sizes, providing a more secure fixation; the sponge padding layer 313 offers flexible protection, adapting to cats with different skin sensitivities and protecting their skin from damage; the Velcro 320 is strategically positioned and allows for adjustment of the tightness of the loops, further adapting to cats of different sizes and facilitating easy opening and closing.

[0030] In one embodiment, multiple body kits 300 are provided, which can be respectively fitted onto the cat's body, torso, and neck as needed. The body kit 300 is inserted into the positioning hole 200 through the insertion rod 334 in the insertion plate mechanism 330. The angle of the pressure plate 310 on the insertion plate mechanism 330 is adjusted to adapt to the curvature between the cat's torso and neck, thus completing multiple fixation of the head and body during the tartar removal process. After the tartar on one side of the cat's mouth is cleaned, the cat is lifted off the bracket positioning plate 100, flipped over, so that the insertion rod 334 in another set of insertion plate mechanisms 330 in the body kit 300 is inserted into the positioning hole 200, thus completing multiple fixation of the head and body.

[0031] Based on the above, the multiple body kits 300 can be fitted at different locations according to the cat's breed and size (e.g., adding a neck kit for cats with thick necks, and adding a torso kit for overweight cats). By fixing multiple parts, a "multi-point constraint" is formed, preventing the cat's head or body from moving significantly during cleaning. The insert rod 334 is inserted into different positioning holes 200 to achieve initial positioning of the kit. The angle of the pressure plate 310 is adjusted to adapt to the curvature of the body, ensuring that each part is fixed snugly without pressure. After cleaning one side, by changing the positioning hole 200 into which the insert rod 334 is inserted, the cat can be quickly re-fixed after being flipped over without adjusting the overall structure of the device, ensuring a continuous cleaning process and adapting to the bilateral cleaning needs of cats of different sizes.
