Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202320234583.9, filed on Feb. 10, 2023, and Chinese Patent Application No. 202321118927.6, filed on May 10, 2023. All of the aforementioned applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.


TECHNICAL FIELD

The present application relates to the technical field of pet toys, more particularly to a cat teaser for attracting pets easily.


BACKGROUND

Pet toys are indispensable products for pet owners. When we are busy, we don't have time or energy to play with our own pets. Therefore, we need a product to attract their attention, play with them to ease the anxiety of pets, and at the same time, consume their excessive energy to avoid disturbing what we are doing at this time. However, the existing pet toys are generally cat-teasing rods and cat-teasing balls, and both cat-teasing rods and cat-teasing balls remain exposed. After playing for a period of time, pets will gradually lose their interest. So the two cannot continue to grasp the pets' curiosity. That is, the current cat teasers have limited appeal to pets and find it difficult to maintain the attraction.


SUMMARY

The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a cat teaser that attracts a pet easily.


In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solutions adopted by the present application are below: a cat teaser for attracting pets easily, comprising an upper support shell and a lower support shell, where the upper support shell and the lower support shell are snap-fitted with each other to form several openings at edges, one second motor is mounted at a bottom of the lower support shell, a telescopic head assembly is provided between the upper support shell and the lower support shell, and a rotating shaft of the second motor passes through the lower support shell to drive the telescopic head assembly to rotate; the telescopic head assembly comprises a first arm, a swing arm spring, and a second arm connected in sequence, and the first arm is connected to the rotating shaft of the second motor; when the second motor rotates, the rotating shaft of the second motor successively drives the first arm, the swing arm spring, and the second arm to rotate, the swing arm spring and the second arm extending or folding relative to the first arm, and the second arm extending out of or retracting from the opening; and after the second motor rotates to another angle, the second arm extends or folds again relative to the first arm, and the second arm transfers from one opening to another opening.


The advantageous effects of the present application are that the cat teaser has a novel structure, and the telescopic head assembly can extend out of different openings to capture the attention of cats and other pets. At the same time, under the driving of the second motor, the swing arm spring can fold or extend, allowing the telescopic head assembly to withdraw to achieve hiding or extending from another opening, thereby keeping cats and other pets focused and making pets more easily attracted.


In addition, according to the cat teaser, the extension and retraction of the telescopic head assembly can be achieved merely by the forward and reverse rotation of the second motor, and more cat teasing angles and more random cat teasing opportunities can be obtained.
