Description

Hamster running wheel Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of hamster running wheel technology, specifically relating to a hamster running wheel. Background Technology

[0002] Hamsters are naturally energetic, with an innate instinct for running and foraging. Wild hamsters are very active animals, and if they lack toys for extended periods, their physical functions will decline, potentially leading to paralysis, leaving them only able to crawl around in their cages. It's been observed that hamsters without a running wheel often channel this energy elsewhere, such as chewing on their cages. Therefore, using a running wheel can increase the activity level of caged hamsters while allowing them to release their natural instincts. While running wheels are designed to meet the exercise needs of hamsters, existing hamster running wheels are often unreliable and offer a poor user experience. With continued use, the inertia of the rotating wheel can cause the axle system to become unstable, leading to significant shaking, noise, and even malfunction. Furthermore, the bedding materials inside the cage, such as paper or cotton, can generate dust. This dust can be stirred up by the hamster running on the wheel and enter the axle system, also causing bearing noise and malfunction.

[0003] Therefore, a hamster running wheel with announcement number "CN219741542U" includes a running wheel, a bracket for supporting the running wheel, and a bearing assembly. The bracket has a mounting groove, and both ends of the bearing assembly pass through the running wheel and the mounting groove, respectively. The running wheel is rotatably connected to the bracket via the bearing assembly. The bearing assembly includes a bearing, a sealing ring, a ball-head plunger, a bearing housing, and a bearing housing cover. The bearing is movably disposed inside the bearing housing, the bearing housing cover is disposed on one side of the bearing housing, and the sealing ring is disposed on one side of the bearing. The bearing housing has a fixing groove for the ball-head plunger to pass through, and the bearing housing cover has several spherical grooves for fixing the ball-head plunger. One end of the ball-head plunger is fixedly connected to the fixing groove, and the end of the ball-head plunger with a ball head is movably connected to the spherical groove. The sealing ring effectively prevents dust and sand from entering the bearing, and the ball-head plunger effectively prevents the bearing housing cover from loosening from the bearing housing, thus making this hamster running wheel stable and durable. Technical issues

[0004] However, for the aforementioned hamster running wheel, although the outer ring of the bearing and the steel ball rotate with the running wheel when the hamster runs on the running track, while the inner ring of the bearing is tightly fixed to the fixed shaft and does not rotate, there are still some obvious defects in its use: the running wheel, bearing, and fixed shaft are locked together, and when the running wheel malfunctions, disassembly tools are required to separate them, making disassembly and repair troublesome and time-consuming, thus making it impossible to quickly and easily disassemble and replace the running wheel and fixed shaft. Technical solutions

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hamster running wheel to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a hamster running wheel, comprising:

[0007] The running wheel body has a running track cavity extending outward on one side for the hamster to run in. Inside the running track cavity, there is an assembly cylindrical slot extending outward on one side. On the other side of the running wheel body, a combined limiting frame for limiting and inserting the running wheel body is located around the outside of the slot.

[0008] The support pole is fitted with an adjusting sleeve for height adjustment and locking. One side of the adjusting sleeve is rotatably provided with a magnetic shaft that is inserted into the assembly cylindrical slot. One end of the magnetic shaft is magnetically attracted to a running wheel fixing magnet that is installed in the assembly cylindrical slot and magnetically combined and fixed with the running wheel body.

[0009] Preferably, a fixing cylindrical insertion hole is provided on the side wall of one end of the assembly cylindrical slot, and a fixing post is provided on the side of the running wheel fixing magnet corresponding to the fixing cylindrical insertion hole, so that the running wheel fixing magnet is installed and fixed inside the assembly cylindrical slot and magnetically fixed with the magnetic steel sleeve.

[0010] Preferably, one end of the magnetic shaft is fitted with a bearing, and a magnetic steel sleeve is fixedly fitted to the outside of the bearing. One end of the magnetic steel sleeve extends outward and is provided with a limiting outer ring block that is adapted to the limiting combination of the combined limiting frame, so as to ensure that the running wheel is effectively limited during rotation and make the running wheel rotate more stably.

[0011] Preferably, the two sides of the support post are vertically provided with strip-shaped adjustment lock grooves for the adjustment lock sleeve to slide and adjust, and the corners at both ends of the strip-shaped adjustment lock grooves are arc-shaped, which is conducive to the sliding adjustment of the height of the running wheel.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the magnetic shaft with a threaded surface is fixedly extended to the outside of the other end of the adjusting lock sleeve and screwed with a locking cap, so that the running wheel can be locked and fixed after the height is adjusted.

[0013] Preferably, the adjusting lock sleeve is fitted onto the support upright and passes through the strip adjusting lock groove via a magnetic rotating shaft, and is adjusted and locked in place by the lock cap, thereby providing stable support and locking for the running wheel. Beneficial effects

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: the hamster running wheel has an integrated structure for the front of the running wheel and the running track cavity, making the hamster running wheel simpler. Furthermore, there are no other connecting parts on the running wheel body, thus avoiding the problem of dirt and grime accumulating due to connecting structures, making it easy for users to clean.

[0015] The cylindrical slot, combined limiting frame, running wheel fixing magnet, magnetic shaft, magnetic steel sleeve and bearing are magnetically combined and fixed on the running wheel body. The running wheel body and magnetic shaft are combined and fixed by magnetic force. At the same time, the running wheel body can be quickly installed and disassembled due to magnetic fixation, which improves the convenience of disassembly and assembly. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-4. This utility model provides a technical solution: a hamster running wheel, comprising:

[0023] The running wheel body 1 has a running track cavity 2 extending outward from one side, which allows the hamster to run. The inner surface of the running track cavity 2 is uniformly provided with anti-slip micro-convex surfaces, which facilitates the hamster's running and allows the running wheel body 1 to rotate. The running track cavity 2 has an assembly cylindrical slot 3 extending outward from one side, which allows the running wheel fixing magnet 8 to be installed and fixed in the assembly cylindrical slot 3 for quick magnetic fixation with the magnetic steel sleeve 12 on the magnetic rotating shaft 7. The assembly cylindrical slot 3 is located on the other side of the running wheel body 1 and extends outward from the outside of the slot, with a combined limiting frame 4 for limiting the insertion and assembly of the running wheel body 1. After the magnetic steel sleeve 12 is inserted into the assembly cylindrical slot 3, it is fixed by the limiting outer ring block 13 and the inner cavity of the combined limiting frame 4, ensuring good stability of the running wheel body 1 during rotation.

[0024] The support pole 5 is fitted with an adjusting sleeve 6 for height adjustment and locking. This allows for height adjustment of the magnetic shaft 7, making it easier for the hamster to move up and down. One side of the adjusting sleeve 6 is rotatably positioned to limit the insertion of the magnetic shaft 7 into the assembly cylindrical slot 3. This allows the bearing 11 to be fixed inside the magnetic steel sleeve 12 via the magnetic shaft 7. One end of the magnetic shaft 7 is magnetically attracted to a running wheel fixing magnet 8, which is installed in the assembly cylindrical slot 3 and magnetically combined and fixed to the running wheel body 1. This allows the running wheel body 1 to be magnetically fixed to the magnetic steel sleeve 12 via the running wheel fixing magnet 8, making it easier to assemble and disassemble the running wheel body 1.

[0025] A fixed cylindrical insertion hole 9 is provided on the side wall of one end of the assembly cylindrical slot 3, so that the running wheel fixing magnet 8 is accurately fixed in the assembly cylindrical slot 3, which facilitates the installation and removal of the running wheel body 1. The running wheel fixing magnet 8 is provided with a fixing post 10 on the side corresponding to the fixed cylindrical insertion hole 9, so as to make the running wheel fixing magnet 8 more stable and firm in the assembly cylindrical slot 3. One end of the magnetic shaft 7 is sleeved with a bearing 11, which is fixed inside the magnetic steel sleeve 12, so that the magnetic steel sleeve 12 rotates with the running wheel body 1. The bearing 11 is sleeved and fixed outside the bearing 11. One end of the magnetic steel sleeve 12 extends outward and is provided with a limiting outer ring block 13 that is adapted to the limiting combination of the combined limiting frame 4. After the magnetic steel sleeve 12 is inserted into the assembly cylindrical slot 3, it is limited and fixed by the limiting outer ring block 13, so as to ensure the stability of the magnetic steel sleeve 12.

[0026] The support rod 5 has two vertically corresponding strip-shaped adjustment lock grooves 14 for limiting and sliding adjustment of the adjustment lock sleeve 6. The magnetic rotating shaft 7 slides up and down within the strip-shaped adjustment lock groove 14, and the corners at both ends of the strip-shaped adjustment lock groove 14 are arc-shaped. One end of the magnetic rotating shaft 7 with a threaded surface is fixedly extended to the outside of the other end of the adjustment lock sleeve 6 and screwed with a locking cap 15. The adjusted magnetic rotating shaft 7 can be locked and fixed by the locking cap 15. The adjustment lock sleeve 6 is sleeved on the support rod 5 and is adjusted and locked by the locking cap 15 through the magnetic rotating shaft 7 passing through the strip-shaped adjustment lock groove 14.

[0027] Specifically, in use: First, the adjusting lock sleeve 6 is movably fitted onto the support rod 5, and the magnetic shaft 7 is passed through the strip-shaped adjusting lock groove 14 provided on the support rod 5, and locked and fixed using the lock cap 15. Then, the bearing 11 is fitted and fixed to the other end of the magnetic shaft 7, and then the magnetic steel sleeve 12 is fitted and fixed to the outside of the bearing 11. The running wheel fixing magnet 8 is installed and fixed on the side wall of one end of the assembly cylindrical slot 3 using the fixing pin 10. Then, the running wheel body 1 is fitted onto the magnetic shaft using the assembly cylindrical slot 3. The outer side of the steel sleeve 12 is magnetically fixed to the running wheel fixing magnet 8. At this time, the limiting outer ring block 13 is fixed inside the combined limiting frame 4, thereby realizing the magnetic installation and fixing of the running wheel body 1. It also facilitates the disassembly, inspection and maintenance of the hamster running wheel in the later stage. Through the composition of the above structure, the combination of the running wheel body 1 and the magnetic steel sleeve 12 on the magnetic shaft 7 is installed and fixed by magnetic force. At the same time, the running wheel body 1 can be quickly installed and disassembled due to the magnetic fixation, which improves the convenience of disassembly and assembly.
