The multifunctional dog chain can control the separable length between the ropes in the front part by moving said adjustable rope clamp so as to control the distance between dogs, thus preventing safety accidents out of too long ropes resulting in winding-up or too large separation distance between dogs.


Further, said adjustable rope clamp comprises a clamp holder and a clamp plate, said clamp holder and the clamp plate are buckled to form at least two internal first housing cavities with variable volume to house said ropes, a limit structure is arranged between said clamp holder and the clamp plate, and said clamp plate can move upward along said limit structure, said clamp plate can move up and down relative to the clamp holder through said limit structure so as to clamp or release the ropes in said first housing cavities, thus the adjustable rope clamp can move back and forth along the ropes.


Further, said limit structure comprises a connecting pole fixedly connected with the clamp holder), a clamping knob and a spring, said connecting pole passes through the clamp plate, one end of said connecting pole is connected with said clamping knob, a groove is arranged on the inner wall of said clamp plate, said groove and the clamp holder form a second housing cavity for housing the spring, said spring is sheathed on said connecting pole and arranged in said second housing cavity. In operation, said clamping knob moves up and down relative to the connecting pole, and cooperates with the spring to realize relative motion between the clamp plate and the clamp holder so as to clamp or release the ropes in said first housing cavities.


Further, said clamping knob is fitted with the connecting pole in a screw joint manner.


Further, a rotary connection structure is arranged between said first connecting portion and the handle ring, said rotary connection structure comprises a raised connector at one end of the handle ring and a connecting piece, said raised connector and the end of the handle ring form a circular clamping groove, a circular connecting ring is arranged at one end of said connecting piece, the other end of said connecting piece is fixedly connected with the first connecting portion, said circular connecting ring is clamped in said circular clamping groove and can rotate along said circular clamping groove, thus realizing rotary connection between the handle ring and the first connecting portion. The rotary connection designed between the handle ring and the first connecting portion can improve control flexibility of the handle ring while walking dogs.


Further, a non-slip silicone sleeve is arranged on said handle ring to increase the grip comfort of users.


Further, a first soft rubber sleeve is arranged on said first connecting portion for fixedly connecting the rear end of each rope.


Further, a second soft rubber sleeve is arranged at the end of each of said ropes in said front part.


The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows:


a multifunctional dog chain of the invention comprises at least two ropes. An adjustable rope clamp is arranged between the ropes, and the separable length between the ropes in the front part can be controlled by moving the adjustable rope clamp so as to control the distance between dogs, thus preventing safety accidents out of too long ropes resulting in winding-up or too large separation distance between dogs. The multifunctional dog chain is easy to use.
