Abstract

Disclosed are an interactive pet toy and a toy system. The toy comprises a base, and a cylindrical stand column, a transmission system, a moving block, and a moving block position detector, which are arranged on the base, wherein the moving block position detector is arranged in the base and at a position close to a driving wheel of the transmission system, and is connected to a control board; when detecting that the moving block reaches a position, the moving block position detector sends a reversing signal to the control board, and the control board controls an electric motor to rotate in a reserve direction according to the reversing signal so as to drive the driving wheel to rotate in a reverse direction. In the interactive pet toy, the moving block can automatically reverse and move according to the reached position so as to prevent collision with the driving wheel during the process of moving, thereby preventing operation failure or preventing components from being damaged. Moreover, the reversing triggered by the detection of the moving block position detector does not affect the moving block achieving a complete vertical reciprocating motion on the cylindrical stand column, thereby ensuring the completeness of the movement of the moving block.

Description

Interactive pet toy and toy system

Technical field

The invention relates to pet toys, in particular to an interactive pet toy and toy system.

Background technique

A pet toy is a toy designed completely in accordance with the pet's preferences and aesthetic points of view, and its purpose is to meet the pet's preferences and truly arouse the pet's interest. There are more and more pet toys on the market. Some pet toys are designed too simple to arouse the interest of pets in a real sense, and some pet toys are designed to be too complicated and weird, which deviates from the pet’s preferences. And aesthetic point of view.

In order to solve the problem that the existing pet toys do not meet the pet's preferences and are difficult to arouse the pet's interest in playing, the Chinese utility model patent 201820026958.1 provides a simple structure, easy to use, conforms to the pet's preferences, and can arouse the pet's interest in playing with a flexible curve movement pet toy . The content disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent 201820026958.1 is incorporated into this application in full.

1 and 4, the flexible curve movement pet toy includes a base 1, a cylindrical column provided on the base 1, a transmission system, and the transmission system includes a motor 3, a driving wheel 4, an auxiliary wheel 5, and a drawstring 6. The column 2 is provided with two sets of through holes 7, the motor 3 is axially connected with the driving wheel 4. The motor 3 and the driving wheel 4 are arranged in the base 1, the auxiliary wheel 5 is arranged at the top of the column 2, and one end of the drawstring 6 is wound around the drive On the wheel 4, the other end of the drawstring 6 passes through a set of through holes 7 from bottom to top from bottom to top and then passes through the auxiliary wheel 5, and the other end of the drawstring 6 passes through the auxiliary wheel 5 and then goes up The lower part passes through another set of through holes 7 from the inside to the outside or from the outside to the inside and then is wound on the driving wheel 4. The drawstring 6 is fixed with a moving block 8 that simulates the image of an animal. The speed of the motor is adjusted through the control board. After the motor is turned on, the motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, and the drawstring starts to move accordingly. The moving block fixed on the drawstring moves with the drawstring and passes through the through hole or penetrates into the column. Moving the block through the through hole simulates the image of a squirrel passing in and out of the tree hole, which is very realistic and can arouse the interest of pets playing.

However, during the operation of the flexible curve movement pet toy, if the motor is not controlled to automatically reverse according to the real-time movement position of the moving block on the drawstring to adjust the direction of rotation of the driving wheel, the moving block will follow the drawing. The rope keeps moving towards the driving wheel and hits the driving wheel, which affects its normal operation, and may even cause the pet toy to malfunction or cause damage to the components and structure, which is not desired. Therefore, how to realize the automatic reversing operation of the moving block so that its stroke does not collide with the driving wheel, and this reversing does not affect the moving block can be completed as the drawstring passes through the two sets of through holes The up and down movement is a problem that the flexible curve movement pet toy needs to solve.
