[0033] Some embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings. The following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0034] Referring to FIG. 1, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a pet tractor, wherein the pet tractor includes a housing 110, a rope winding assembly 120, a locking assembly 130, and a blocking assembly 140.

[0035] Specifically, in conjunction with FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the housing 110 defines a mounting cavity 111, and the mounting cavity 111 is provided therein with a first rotation shaft 112; the rope winding assembly 120 includes at least one movable member 122, a rope winding member 121, and a tractor rope winding on the rope winding member 121, wherein the rope winding member 121 is rotationally connected to the first rotation shaft 112, and one end of the movable member 122 is movably connected to the rope winding member 121; the locking assembly 130 is connected to the housing 110, and the locking assembly 130 is movably connected to one end of the tractor rope away from the rope winding member 121; and the blocking assembly 140 can abut against or separate from one end of the movable member 122 away from the rope winding member 121. The rope winding member 121 can rotate around the first rotation shaft 112, so that the tractor rope winding on the rope winding member 121 can be extended, and a length of the tractor rope can be defined through the locking assembly 130 locking the rope winding member 121. In case that the pet rushes out suddenly, when the rotation speed of the rope winding member 121 exceeds a preset rotation speed, a rotation centrifugal force of the rope winding member 121 is too large, so that the movable member 122 can limit the rope winding member 121 by means of abutting against the blocking assembly 140, so as to block and limit the rope winding member 121, which reduces the possibility that the pet rushes out and hurts people.

[0036] In one embodiment, optionally, as shown in FIG. 2, the rope winding member 121 is a rope winding disc of an annular structure, and the rope winding disc is in shape of circular disc, wherein two movable members 122 are located on an inner periphery of the rope winding disc, and two movable members 122 are provided, wherein the blocking assembly 140 is sleeved on the first rotation shaft 112, and the blocking parts 141a are arranged on opposite two ends of the blocking assembly 140, wherein each movable member 122 abuts against or separates from one of the blocking parts 141a. The movable member 122 cooperates with the blocking part 141a, so that the rope winding disc can stop rotating when realizing the position limitation. Therefore, in case that the pet rushes out suddenly, the length of the tractor rope is stopped extending by the rope winding disc, so as to control the movement range of the pet.

[0037] Further, two movable members 122 are symmetrically arranged, and the first rotation shaft 112 is on a line connecting two movable members 122. Accordingly, any one of the movable members 122 can lock and limit the inner periphery of the rope winding disc of the annular structure. The two movable members 122 are centrally symmetrically arranged, so that it can play a better position limitation effect when two movable members 122 cooperate with the blocking part 141a of the blocking assembly 140 to limit positions, so as to control the rope winding disc to stop rotating, and thus control the length of the tractor rope, which reduces the influence when the pet rushes out and makes the pet in a controlled state.

[0038] In one embodiment, optionally, as shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of position limitation parts 1211 are arranged around an outer periphery of the rope winding member 121, and one end of the locking assembly 130 can abut against or separate from any one of the position limitation parts 1211. The tractor rope is wound or extended by the rope winding member 121 during the rotation process, i.e., the rope winding disc is locked and limited when any one of the position limitation parts 1211 abuts against one end of the locking assembly 130, so as to keep the length of the tractor rope unchanged. During the rotation process of the rope winding disc, the rope winding discs at different angles can all be locked and limited by the plurality of position limitation parts 1211, so as to reduce the possibility of locking dead angles at the range of 360° of the rope winding discs.

[0039] In one embodiment, optionally, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the rope winding assembly 120 further includes a second returning member, wherein the second returning member is sleeved on the first rotation shaft 112; one side of the second returning member is connected to the housing 110; and one side of the second returning member away from the housing 110 is hinged to the rope winding member 121. When the locking is canceled by the locking assembly 130, the rope winding member 121 resets to the initial state under the action of the second returning member, so that the rope winding member 121 drives the tractor rope to rotate in a reverse direction to retract the tractor rope, which is beneficial to adjust the length of the tractor rope and is convenient for the storage of the tractor rope, so that the movement range of the pet can be controlled by adjusting the length of the tractor rope by the user according to actual situations.

[0040] In summary, the rope winding member 121 of the pet tractor can rotate around the first rotation shaft 112, so that the tractor rope winding on the rope winding member 121 can be extended, and the length of the tractor rope can be defined through the locking assembly 130 locking the rope winding member 121. In case that the pet rushes out suddenly, when the rotation speed of the rope winding member 121 exceeds the preset rotation speed, the rotation centrifugal force of the rope winding member 121 is too large, so that the movable member 122 can limit the rope winding member 121 by means of abutting against the blocking assembly 140, so as to block and limit the rope winding member 121, which reduces the possibility that the pet rushes out and hurts people, thereby improving the control and restriction ability for pets when taking them out.

[0041] Referring to FIG. 1, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides another pet tractor including the housing 110, a rope winding assembly 120, a locking assembly 130, and a blocking assembly 140.

The rope winding assembly 120 includes at least one movable member 122, the rope winding member 121, and the tractor rope winding on the rope winding member 121, wherein the rope winding member 121 is rotationally connected to the first rotation shaft 112, and one end of the movable member 122 is movably connected to the rope winding member 121; and the rope winding member 121 can rotate around the first rotation shaft 112, so that the tractor rope winding on the rope winding member 121 can be extended.

[0043] In the embodiment, the locking assembly 130 is connected to the housing 110, and the locking assembly 130 is movably connected to one end of the tractor rope away from the rope winding member 121. The blocking assembly 140 can abut against or separate from one end of the movable member 122 away from the rope winding member 121, and the length of the tractor rope can be defined through the locking assembly 130 locking the rope winding member 121. In case that the pet rushes out suddenly, when the rotation speed of the rope winding member 121 exceeds the preset rotation speed, the rotation centrifugal force of the rope winding member 121 is too large, so that the movable member 122 can limit the rope winding member 121 by means of abutting against the blocking assembly 140, which blocks and limits the rope winding member 121, so as to reduce the possibility that the pet rushes out and hurts people.

[0044] In one embodiment, optionally, the rope winding member 121 is a rope winding disc of the annular structure, wherein a plurality of movable members 122 are provided, and the plurality of movable members 122 are arranged around the inner periphery of the rope winding disc; and the blocking assembly 140 includes a plurality of blocking blocks 141b, and the plurality of blocking blocks 141b are all arranged on the housing 110, wherein each movable member 122 abuts against or separates from one of the blocking blocks 141b, and any one of the movable members 122 cooperates with the blocking block 141b, so that the rope winding disc can stop rotating when realizing the position limitation. Therefore, in case that the pet rushes out suddenly, the length of the tractor rope is stopped extending by the rope winding disc, so as to control the movement range of the pet.

[0045] Further, the movable member 122 includes an anti-rushing plate and a first returning member, wherein one end of the anti-rushing plate is movably connected to the rope winding member 121 by the second rotation shaft 1221; and the first returning member is sleeved on the second rotation shaft 1221 and one side of the first returning member is connected to the anti-rushing plate, wherein one side of the first returning member away from the anti-rushing plate is connected to the rope winding member 121, and one end of the anti-rushing plate away from the second rotation shaft 1221 abuts against or separates from the blocking assembly 140. The first returning member can be a return spring or a reset spring, and the first returning member can also be a torsion spring.

[0046] In one embodiment, optionally, as shown in FIG. 2, the plurality of position limitation parts 1211 are arranged around the outer periphery of the rope winding member 121, and one end of the locking assembly 130 can abut against or separate from any one of the position limitation parts 1211. The tractor rope is wound or extended by the rope winding member 121 during the rotation process, i.e., the rope winding disc is locked and limited when any one of the position limitation parts 1211 abuts against one end of the locking assembly 130, so as to keep the length of the tractor rope unchanged. During the rotation process of the rope winding disc, the rope winding discs at different angles can all be locked and limited by the plurality of position limitation parts 1211, so as to reduce the possibility of locking dead angles at the range of 360° of the rope winding discs. Exemplarily, the rope winding discs with the plurality of position limitation parts 1211 are in sawtooth shapes, and the locking assembly 130 can limit the position limitation part 1211 when the rope winding disc rotates in a forward direction to extend the tractor rope or rotates in a reverse direction to rewind the tractor rope.

[0047] In one embodiment, optionally, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the rope winding assembly 120 further includes the second returning member, wherein the second returning member is sleeved on the first rotation shaft 112; one side of the second returning member is connected to the housing 110; and one side of the second returning member away from the housing 110 is hinged to the rope winding member 121. When the locking is canceled by the locking assembly 130, the rope winding member 121 resets to the initial state under the action of the second returning member, so that the rope winding member 121 drives the tractor rope to rotate in the reverse direction to retract the tractor rope, which is beneficial to adjust the length of the tractor rope and is convenient for the storage of the tractor rope, wherein the movement range of the pet can be controlled by the user according to the length of the tractor rope in actual situations. Exemplarily, the second returning member can be a return spring or a reset spring, and the second returning member can also be a torsion spring.

[0048] In one embodiment, optionally, referring to FIG. 1, the housing 110 is provided with the first opening 113, so that one end of the tractor rope extends to the outside via the first opening 113, wherein the tractor rope can be used to drag the pet by extending out of the first opening 113.

[0049] Optionally, as shown in FIG. 1, a second opening 114 is arranged on a position of the housing 110 close to the locking assembly 130, and the second opening 114 is communicated with the mounting cavity 111; and the locking assembly 130 is located in the second opening 114, and the locking assembly 130 is movably connected to the rope winding member 121, wherein the locking assembly 130 is arranged in the second opening 114, and the locking assembly 130 can extend and retract relative to the side wall of the second opening 114, so that the locking assembly 130 abuts against the rope winding member 121 and limits the rope winding member 121.

[0050] In one embodiment, optionally, in conjunction with FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a handle member 150 is arranged at a position of the housing 110 close to the locking assembly 130, and the handle member 150 includes a gripping part 151 and a fixing part 152, wherein the gripping part 151 is arranged between the fixing part 152 and the locking assembly 130, and the user can grip the pet tractor by the gripping part 151.
