[0009] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description or may be learned by practice of the invention. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0010] The above and / or additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent and readily understood from the following detailed description of the embodiments with reference to the drawings.

[0011] [Figure 1] 1 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the first embodiment of the present invention; FIG. [Figure 2] FIG. 2 is a front view of the first embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] This is an enlarged structural schematic diagram of part A of the present invention. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the second embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 5] FIG. 2 is a front view of the second embodiment of the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the present invention may be combined with each other as long as they are not mutually exclusive.

[0013] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may be embodied in other forms other than those described herein, and therefore the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0014] Next, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, a transformable pet staircase according to several embodiments of the present invention will be described.

[0015] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, an embodiment of the present invention provides a transformable pet staircase, The pet staircase includes a first-form main body, and when the pet staircase is the first-form main body, the vertical cross-section of the first-form main body is a right-angled triangle, the right side and bottom of the first-form main body are right-angled sides, and the left side is a hypotenuse, a step surface is provided on the left side of the first-form main body, the first-form main body includes a first folding section 1 and a second folding section 2, the second folding section 2 is provided above the first folding section 1, a first step 3 is provided on the left side of the first folding section 1, and a second step 4 is provided on the left side of the second folding section 2, and the first step 3 and the second step 4 form the step surface. When using the first form main body, the pet climbs up the step surface to get onto the bed or sofa, but since the step height of the step surface of the first form main body is high, relatively steep, and the distance is short, the first form main body is suitable for pets with medium to large adult sizes, which have a large body type and wide stride, making it easier for them to climb the step surface and faster to get onto the bed or sofa.

[0016] When the pet stairs have a second-form main body, the cross section of the second-form main body in the vertical direction is a right-angled triangle, with the left and bottom sides of the second-form main body being right-angled sides and the right side being the hypotenuse, and the second folding part 2 is provided on the left side of the first folding part 1, in which case the first step 3 and the second step 4 are fitted together and the top surface of the second-form main body forms an inclined surface. When using the second-form main body, pets climb up the inclined surface to get onto a bed or sofa, and compared to a step surface, the inclined surface is longer and has a gentler gradient, making it suitable for small dogs or young dogs that are just born.

[0017] Since the first and second transforming bodies can be switched according to the type of pet currently being kept, the entire structure can be applied to different pets and different stages of the same pet, improving the scope of application of the structure and increasing its practicality.

[0018] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper end of the first step 3 and the lower end of the second step 4 of the first form main body are rotatably connected.

[0019] When the entire structure is mainly in the first form, the vertical cross-sectional shapes of the first folding section 1 and the second folding section 2 are both triangular, one face of the first folding section 1 and one face of the second folding section 2 contact each other, and the upper end of the first step 3 and the lower end of the second step 4 are rotatably connected.

[0020] When the entire structure is in the second form main body, the vertical cross-sectional shapes of the first folding section 1 and the second folding section 2 are both triangular, the first step 3 on the left side of the first folding section 1 and the second step 4 on the right side of the second folding section 2 are aligned with each other, and the upper ends of the first step 3 and the second step 4 are rotatably connected, so that the vertical cross-sectional shape of the entire second form main body is a right-angled triangle.

[0021] When it is necessary to switch the first form main body to the second form main body, the user presses the second folding part 2 downward and to the left, and the second folding part 2 rotates around the connection point of the first step 3 and the second step 4, and when the first step 3 and the second step 4 are aligned, the second form main body is established.

[0022] When it is necessary to switch the second form subject to the first form subject, the user presses the second folding part 2 to the upper right, causing the second folding part 2 to rotate around the connection point between the first step 3 and the second step 4, and when one surface of the first folding part 1 comes into contact with one surface of the second folding part 2, the first form subject is assumed.

[0023] According to the above principle, the user can switch between the first and second configurations simply by pressing the second folding portion 2, which makes the operation easy.

[0024] As shown in Figures 1 to 5, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the pet stairs are mainly in the first form, a first connector 5 is fixedly connected to the underside of the first folding section 1, one end of a fixing member 7 is fixedly connected to the right side of the second folding section 2, and a second connector 6 is fixedly connected to the other end of the fixing member 7, and the second connector 6 and the first connector 5 are used in combination.

[0025] The first connector 5 and the second connector 6 are Velcro, and the fixing member 7 is a long cloth tape. When the first connector 5 and the second connector 6 are adhered together, they can serve to fix the first folding portion 1 and the second folding portion 2, preventing the second folding portion 2 from rotating when used by a pet.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 1, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the pet stairs are mainly in the first form, a storage bag 8 is fixedly connected to the right side of the second folding part 2.

[0027] When the pet stairs are mainly in the first form, it is necessary to use the fixing member 7, but when the pet stairs are mainly in the second form, the first folding part 1 and the second folding part 2 are both placed on the ground, so at this time there is no need to use the fixing member 7 to fix the second folding part 2. Therefore, the fixing member 7 can be placed inside the storage bag 8, and it is possible to avoid the fixing member 7 being scattered and affecting the aesthetic appearance.

[0028] This invention has the following advantages: By pressing the second folding portion 2, the entire structure can be switched back and forth between the first form body and the second form body, so that the entire structure can be applied to different pets or different stages of the same pet, thereby improving the applicability and practicality of the entire structure.
