Abstract

This application provides a pet toy, comprising: a toy member; a toy housing configured with multiple openings, with the openings distributed at different positions along a preset direction; and a drive structure including a first drive assembly, a second drive assembly, and a connecting member. The connecting member is connected to the toy member, with one end attached to the first drive assembly and the other end attached to the second drive assembly, allowing the toy member to sequentially move through adjacent and/or spaced openings when driven by the first drive assembly and/or second drive assembly. The first drive assembly and second drive assembly apply minimal tension to the connecting member, enabling quick adjustments even when the connecting member is in a loose state. Additionally, the design allows pets to pull or bite the toy member during play without compromising its functionality, ensuring it quickly returns to normal operation.

Dependent claims

A pet toy for driving a toy member to play with or training a pet, comprising:

a toy housing configured with multiple openings distributed at different positions;
a first drive assembly which comprises a first drive component and a first rotating wheel component which is configured to be driven to rotate by said first drive component or is allowed to rotate relative to said first drive component;
a second drive assembly which comprises a second drive component and a second rotating wheel component which is configured to be driven to rotate by said second drive component or is allowed to rotate relative to said second drive component;
and
a connecting member which is a rope connected between said first rotating wheel component and said second rotating wheel component, wherein the toy member is connected to the connecting member, so as to be configured to be driven by at least one of said first drive assembly and said second drive assembly to sequentially pass through said multiple openings;
wherein each of said first drive assembly and said second drive assembly has a retraction state for winding said connecting member and a release state for releasing said connecting member, wherein after a retraction of said connecting member on one of said first rotating wheel component and said second rotating wheel component, at least one of said first rotating wheel component and said second rotating wheel component is configured to be controlled to rotate in a loose direction for a preset time before proceeding to a next cycle of retraction and loosening of said connecting member.

a first drive assembly which comprises a first drive component and a first rotating wheel component which is configured to be driven to rotate by said first drive component or is allowed to rotate relative to said first drive component;
a second drive assembly which comprises a second drive component and a second rotating wheel component which is configured to be driven to rotate by said second drive component or is allowed to rotate relative to said second drive component;
and
a connecting member which is a rope connected between said first rotating wheel component and said second rotating wheel component, wherein the toy member is connected to the connecting member, so as to be configured to be driven by at least one of said first drive assembly and said second drive assembly to sequentially pass through said multiple openings;
wherein each of said first drive assembly and said second drive assembly has a retraction state for winding said connecting member and a release state for releasing said connecting member, wherein when said first drive assembly is in said retraction state and said second drive assembly is in said release state, and after said first rotating wheel component is configured to be driven to rotate to complete a retraction of said connecting member for winding said connecting member on said first rotating wheel component, said first rotating wheel component is configured to be driven to reversely rotate for a preset time to loosen said connecting member, and then said first rotating wheel component is configured to be switched to said release state to stop rotating, said second rotating wheel component is configured to be switched from said release state to said retraction state and is configured to be driven to rotate for winding said connecting member on said second rotating wheel component;
wherein when said second drive assembly is in said retraction state and said first drive assembly is in said release state, and after said second rotating wheel component is configured to be driven to rotate to complete a retraction of said connecting member for winding said connecting member on said second rotating wheel component, said second rotating wheel component is configured to be driven to reversely rotate for a preset time to loosen said connecting member, and then said second rotating wheel component is configured to be switched to said release state to stop rotating, said first rotating wheel component is configured to be switched from said release state to said retraction state and is configured to be driven to rotate for winding said connecting member on said first rotating wheel component.
