The ends of two uprights are connected by male and female connectors respectively, forming unit one. The uprights and partitions are also connected by male and female connectors, forming unit two. The partition is sandwiched between two mutually fixed uprights, forming unit three. Units one, two, and three can be combined in any way to form at least a part of the cat climbing frame. The modular design allows for free combination and diverse structures. The connection method of each upright is uniform, eliminating the need for positional identification and solving the problem of user error during assembly. In addition, the connection method between the components of each unit module is convenient and quick to install, which helps to reduce or eliminate the need for additional tools.

[0003] However, the aforementioned cat trees, including some existing ones, are simply placed on the ground. Cats often jump and run between the cat tree and the ground, which can easily cause the cat tree to move, shake, or even tip over, posing a danger.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a modular cat climbing frame with adjustable height and angle, including a first column 1 and a platform mechanism 5. A second column 2 is arranged directly above the first column 1. A threaded rod 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second column 2, and the threaded rod 3 is threadedly installed at the top of the first column 1. A set of abutment plates 4 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the first column 1 and the top of the second column 2. At least two sets of sisal ropes 7 are wound around the outer surfaces of the first column 1 and the second column 2. A set of hanging rods 8 are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the first column 1 and the second column 2. A set of hanging ropes 9 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the two sets of hanging rods 8. One end of each rope 9 is fixedly connected to a set of tug balls 10, and a set of anti-slip pads 11 are fixedly installed on each of the two sets of abutment plates 4. Through the cooperation of the first column 1, the second column 2, the threaded rod 3 and the abutment plate 4, the first column 1 and the second column 2 are respectively abutted against the ground and the ceiling by the abutment plate 4 to achieve stable placement. Compared with existing similar cat climbing frames, the distance between the first column 1 and the second column 2 can be quickly adjusted to accommodate rooms with different floor heights. This solves the problem that some existing cat climbing frames are only placed on the ground. When cats jump and run back and forth between the cat climbing frame and the ground, the cat climbing frame is easily moved, shaken or even tipped over, which can cause danger. This improves the practicality of the cat climbing frame. Platform mechanism 5 is mounted on first column 1 and second column 2. Platform mechanism 5 includes annular groove 51, semi-annular plate 52, insertion rod 53, insertion hole 54, first plate 55 and second plate 56. Two sets of annular grooves 51 are provided on the outer surfaces of first column 1 and second column 2. Two sets of semi-annular plates 52 are fitted in each set of annular grooves 51. A set of insertion rods 53 is fixedly installed on each set of semi-annular plates 52. At least two sets of insertion holes 54 are provided in each set of annular grooves 51. Each set of insertion rods 53 is inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 54. The two sets of semi-annular plates 52 in each set of annular grooves 51 form a pair. A set of first plate 55 is fixedly installed on one set of semi-annular plates 52 in each pair of semi-annular plates 52. A set of second plate 56 is fixedly installed on the other set of semi-annular plates 52 in each pair of semi-annular plates 52. Each set of first plate 55 is fitted with the corresponding second plate 56.

[0018] The platform mechanism 5 also includes a groove 57, a locking plate 58, a locking slot 59, and a pressing slot 510. Each set of first plate 55 has a groove 57 on the side that is attached to the corresponding second plate 56. At least two sets of locking plates 58 are fixedly installed on the side of each set of first plate 55 that is attached to the corresponding second plate 56. Each set of second plate 56 has a locking slot 59 on the side that is attached to the corresponding first plate 55. Each set of locking plates 58 is engaged in the corresponding locking slot 59. Each set of first plate 55 has a pressing slot 510 on the top. Each set of first plate 55 and second plate 56 has a baffle 6 fixedly installed on the top. Through the platform mechanism 5, the platform mechanism 5 can be quickly installed and removed from the first column 1 and the second column 2 to achieve modular installation. The installation angle of the platform mechanism 5 can be adjusted arbitrarily, ensuring the effectiveness of the cat climbing frame and facilitating its promotion and use.

[0019] Working principle: When installing the cat climbing frame, the first column 1 is placed on the ground, and the second column 2 is threaded onto the first column 1 through the threaded rod 3. The second column 2 is rotated to adjust its height until it touches the ceiling and is fixed. When disassembling the platform mechanism 5, the pressing groove 510 on the first plate 55 is pressed directly, causing each clamping plate 58 to deform into the groove 57. After it is no longer stuck in the groove 59, the first plate 55 and the second plate 56 can be separated, allowing the semi-ring plate 52 to detach from the annular groove 51 and the insertion rod 53 to detach from the insertion hole 54. When installing the platform mechanism 5, the insertion rod 53 is inserted into any insertion hole 54 to adjust the angle of the platform mechanism 5, so that the first plate 55 and the second plate 56 can be directly spliced ​​together, and the clamping plate 58 can be inserted into the groove 59 and locked in place.

[0020] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
