Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to pet supplies, specifically a pet litter box. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, pet owners are required to promptly clean up after their pets during walks or daily activities to maintain public hygiene and avoid disturbing others. However, most common pet litter catchers are bulky and large, making them inconvenient to carry and difficult to clean and store quickly after use. Many catchers use a fixed rod structure that cannot be extended or retracted, making them cumbersome to use and space-consuming to store, especially limiting their practicality in outdoor settings where they need to be carried around.

[0003] Furthermore, existing pet waste catchers present inconveniences in the process of loading and changing waste bags. They typically require manually opening the clamping mechanism or manually removing the waste bag, hindering quick and convenient bag replacement and making it difficult for users to dispose of the bag promptly after use. Additionally, some catchers fail to securely hold the edges of the waste bag during use, allowing it to slip or shift, affecting proper waste collection, causing contamination, and making cleanup difficult.

[0004] To address these issues, some technical solutions have attempted to introduce flexible components or button control mechanisms, but these often suffer from complex structures, inaccurate control, and cumbersome operation. Especially in scenarios requiring one-button control for popping out or retracting, traditional toilet bowls lack flexible control structures and efficient bag clamping and release mechanisms, hindering convenient operation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a pet waste catcher that addresses the problems of large size, inconvenience in carrying, complex operation, and inconvenience in disposing of the bag in existing technologies. It provides a pet waste catcher that allows for one-click disposal of the bag by pressing down a first control button to extend an elastic telescopic rod and by pressing down a second control button to open the clamping mechanism, thereby improving ease of use and user experience.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a pet litter box, comprising:

[0007] A handle, one end of which is fitted with a flexible telescopic rod;

[0008] The garbage bag receiving claw is elastically hinged to the elastic telescopic rod. When the elastic telescopic rod extends elastically, the garbage bag receiving claw automatically and elastically opens, and the garbage bag is clamped onto the receiving claw.

[0009] When not in use, the receiving claw is stored on the retracted elastic telescopic rod.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the elastic telescopic rod includes one or more telescopic sections, which are telescopically fitted together. A first spring is installed inside the elastic telescopic rod, and an elastic guide mechanism is also provided inside the elastic telescopic rod. When the elastic telescopic rod is in the retracted state, the first spring is in an elastically compressed state.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the elastic guiding mechanism includes a guide fixing rod and a guide telescopic rod. One end of the guide fixing rod is fixedly installed on one end of the handle, and the guide telescopic rod is telescopically inserted into the guide fixing rod. A second spring is provided inside the guide fixing rod. When the elastic telescopic rod is in the retracted state, the second spring is in the elastic compression state.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the telescopic joint includes a fixed section and a movable section. Limiting baffles are provided on both sides of the fixed section, and a receiving and limiting cavity is formed between the two limiting baffles for receiving the connecting claw.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the fixed section is also provided with a first control button, the first control button is provided with a third spring inside, and one end of the first control button is provided with an extension hook. The extension hook is located between two limiting baffles and is used to hook the limiting protrusion on the receiving claw to limit the degree of freedom of the elastic telescopic rod and the receiving claw in the axial direction.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the receiving claw is provided with a guide groove, and the opposite surfaces of the limiting baffle are provided with protruding guide rods. When the receiving claw is inserted into the receiving limiting cavity, the guide rods slide and engage with the guide groove.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution, the receiving claw includes a main support, two claw bodies, and an elastic unfolding part. The elastic unfolding part is elastically hinged to one side of the corresponding claw body, and the other side of the claw body is hinged to the main support. A torsion spring is provided on the main support located between the two claw bodies. The two elastic feet of the torsion spring are respectively provided corresponding to the claw bodies. The main support is elastically hinged to one end of the elastic telescopic rod.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution, the bottom surface of the claw body is provided with a locking groove, which is used to receive the edge of the garbage bag and is pressed and positioned by a pressing mechanism, which is set on the main support.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution, the clamping mechanism includes a second control button, a fourth spring is provided inside the main body bracket of the second control button, a connecting panel is provided at the bottom of each of the second control buttons, and a pressure plate is provided on the connecting panel corresponding to each of the slot grooves. One side of the pressure plate protrudes and snaps into the slot groove. When the second control button is pressed down, the fourth spring is in a compressed state.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution, the receiving claw unfolds into a "V" shape.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The pet waste catcher provided by this utility model has a compact structure, is foldable, and is suitable for portable use, especially for pet waste disposal when pets are out and about. This waste catcher features a first control button, which, in conjunction with the internal elastic telescopic rod and guide mechanism, allows the user to simply press the control button to automatically extend the elastic telescopic rod and simultaneously drive the waste catcher to open automatically, completing the rapid unfolding operation of the waste catcher. This greatly improves efficiency and avoids the cumbersome steps of manual stretching or segmented unfolding required in traditional structures.

[0020] Furthermore, this utility model also includes a second control button and a matching clamping mechanism, which can release the clamping mechanism by pressing down with one button, allowing the garbage bag to be quickly released and discarded, avoiding user contact with the fecal bag body, making the operation more hygienic, safe and efficient. The garbage bag clamping process is also more stable, as the bag edge can be firmly clamped by the locking groove and pressure plate structure at the bottom of the receiving claw, preventing it from falling off or shifting during use.

[0021] In addition, the toilet catcher's catch claw adopts a "V"-shaped unfolding structure, combined with a torsion spring and elastic unfolding component design, to ensure that it can naturally open and form a stable catching space during the extension process, enhancing the ability to receive excrement and improving the success rate and convenience of catching excrement in actual use. After use, the catch claw can be stored in the storage limiting cavity formed by the limiting baffle. With the natural retraction of the elastic telescopic rod, the entire structure can be retracted to the handle position for easy storage. Attached Figure Description

[0030] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in all disclosed methods or processes, may be combined in any way, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps.

[0031] Any feature disclosed in this specification (including any appended claims, abstract, and drawings) may be replaced by other equivalent or similar features, unless specifically stated otherwise. That is, unless specifically stated otherwise, each feature is merely one example of a series of equivalent or similar features.

[0032] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model discloses a pet waste catcher, comprising a handle 1, an elastic telescopic rod 6, and a waste-catching paw, suitable for receiving pet waste outdoors. The handle 1 has a hollow structure, with the elastic telescopic rod 6 installed at one end, used to drive the waste-catching paw to extend and retract. The elastic telescopic rod 6 has a multi-section structure, including several telescopic sections connected by a sleeve connection, and a first spring 24 is installed inside. When the elastic telescopic rod 6 is in the retracted state, the first spring 24 is compressed, generating elastic potential energy; in the released state, it pushes each telescopic section to pop outwards sequentially, achieving rapid extension.

[0033] To ensure stability during the telescopic movement, an elastic guide mechanism is also provided inside the elastic telescopic rod 6. This guide mechanism consists of a guide fixing rod 27 and a guide telescopic rod 25. One end of the guide fixing rod 27 is fixed inside the handle 1, and the guide telescopic rod 25 is slidably inserted into the guide fixing rod 27. A second spring 23 is installed inside the guide fixing rod 27. In the retracted state, it is in a compressed state, assisting the first spring 24 in providing elastic power during extension and ensuring the guiding accuracy and balance during the telescopic process, avoiding deviation or jamming.

[0034] The end of the elastic telescopic rod 6 is a fixed section, externally connected to a movable section. The fixed section has two opposing limiting baffles 3, forming a storage and limiting cavity between them. This cavity is used to retract the entire receiving claw when not in use, achieving a compact encapsulation of the entire device. To control the ejection and positioning of the receiving claw, a first control button 2 is provided on the fixed section. This button contains a third spring 22 for providing elastic return. One end of the first control button 2 has an extension hook 21, located between the limiting baffles 3 and extending inward. This hook engages with the limiting protrusion 10 on the receiving claw, locking it in the retracted state. When in use, the user simply presses the first control button 2. The hook releases the receiving claw under the compression force, and the claw elastically unfolds under the combined drive of the torsion spring and the telescopic rod.

[0035] The structure of the garbage catcher consists of a main support 9 and two symmetrically distributed claws 11. One end of each claw 11 is elastically connected to the main support 9 via an elastic unfolding part 12, while the other end is hinged to the main support 9. The main support 9 is connected to the end of the elastic telescopic rod 6 via an elastic hinge, allowing the garbage catcher to automatically open along the hinge direction during extension. To ensure that the claws 11 automatically return to their original position and maintain their opening angle when opened, a torsion spring is installed between the two claws 11. The two elastic legs of the torsion spring act on the inner wall of each claw 11, achieving a balanced elastic opening state for the claws 11. The unfolded garbage catcher has a "V" shape, which is beneficial for wrapping the garbage bag and guiding the feces to fall into the bag.

[0036] To achieve quick clamping and stable fixation of garbage bags, a locking groove 28 is provided on the bottom claw body 11 of the receiving claw. The user can insert the edge of the garbage bag opening into the locking groove 28, and the clamping mechanism set on the main support 9 will press and position it. The clamping mechanism includes a second control button 8 and several connecting panels 14. Each connecting panel 14 is provided with a pressure plate 13 corresponding to each locking groove 28. One side of the pressure plate 13 has a protrusion for fastening into the locking groove 28 to fix the bag edge. The second control button 8 has a fourth spring 26 inside, which provides the clamping force of the pressure plate 13. The button remains in the clamping state when it is released. When the user presses down the second control button 8, the fourth spring 26 is compressed, and the pressure plate 13 releases the restriction on the edge of the garbage bag, realizing the "one-click bag disposal" function, which does not require manual disassembly and is clean and neat.

[0037] In addition, when the device is in its stored state, the receiving claw can be completely retracted into the limiting cavity formed by the limiting baffle 3. The receiving claw is also provided with guide grooves 7 on both sides, which slide in cooperation with the guide rods 4 corresponding to the inner side of the limiting baffle 3. When the receiving claw is gradually retracted into the limiting cavity, the guide rods 4 slide smoothly into the guide grooves 7, which effectively prevents the receiving claw from shifting or tilting during storage, thereby improving the overall structural stability and service life.

[0038] This invention allows for the automatic deployment of an elastic telescopic rod 6 and a waste-collecting claw by pressing the first control button 2 before use. The waste-collecting claw automatically unfolds, and the garbage bag automatically takes place and is pressed and positioned by the pressure plate 13. After use, the pressure plate 13 can be released by pressing the second control button 8, enabling one-click quick bag disposal. The entire unit can be stored in the limiting cavity and limited by the hook. It has the advantages of compact structure, easy carrying, efficient operation, and cleanliness, greatly improving the convenience and experience of cleaning up pet feces when pets are out.

[0039] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
