[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of animal housing equipment, and in particular to an animal housing equipment. Background Art

[0002] Existing animal containment equipment, such as animal toilets, generally includes three parts: an upper part, a middle part, and a lower part. The upper part and the lower part are connected as a whole by a snap fastener to form a containment space, and the middle part divides the containment space into an upper animal containment part and a lower urine containment part. However, the existing animal containment equipment has poor stability, is easy to tip over, and is prone to leakage at the joints. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present application aims to provide an animal housing device to improve the stability and leak-proofness of the animal housing device.

[0004] The embodiment of the present application is implemented as follows:

[0005] In the first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an animal sheltering device, which includes: a base, which is arranged to form the lower periphery of the animal sheltering device; a shielding member, which is arranged to form the upper periphery of the animal sheltering device; a partition, which includes a partition body and a connecting portion; the partition body forms an internal lower space and an internal upper space of the animal sheltering device with the base and the shielding member respectively; the connecting portion constitutes the outer peripheral edge portion of the partition, surrounds the partition body, and the connecting portion is respectively connected to the base and the shielding member to achieve a fully sealed docking assembly.

[0006] Existing animal shelters have protruding fasteners on their surfaces, and animals can easily overturn the equipment through the fasteners, causing contamination, and urine is easily leaked at the connections between the upper, middle and lower parts. In the present application, the base is connected to the lower side of the connection part, and the shielding member is connected to the lower side of the connection part, that is, the base and the shielding member are connected by a partition. There are no protruding fulcrums on the surface of the equipment body, so that the animal shelter as a whole is not easy to be overturned or crushed. At the same time, the connection is a fully sealed docking assembly, which effectively prevents leakage at the connection.

[0007] In one embodiment of the present application, the sealing connection between the connecting portion and the base and the shielding member is a slot connection, a snap connection or a threaded connection.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present application, the sealing connection method is card slot docking; wherein, a protrusion and / or groove structure for docking is provided on the connecting part, a protrusion and / or groove structure for docking is provided on the base, and a protrusion and / or groove structure for docking is provided on the covering member.

[0009] In the above scheme, the connection structure is simple and convenient, easy to realize repeated disassembly and assembly, and easy to use.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present application, a first protrusion is provided on the lower surface of the connecting part, and a first groove is provided on the upper end surface of the base, and the first protrusion is plugged into and fits with the first groove; a second groove is provided on the upper surface of the connecting part, and a second protrusion is provided on the lower end surface of the shielding member, and the second groove is plugged into and fits with the second protrusion.

[0011] In the above technical solution, the first groove is located below the first protrusion, and the second groove is located below the second protrusion, which facilitates the installation of the partition and the shielding member in sequence from bottom to top.

[0012] In one embodiment of the present application, the base includes a base body and a collecting piece, and the collecting piece can be movably arranged on the base body; the base body is provided with an opening for the collecting piece to enter and exit; the animal shelter has a collecting state and a cleaning state; in the collecting state, the collecting piece is located in the internal lower space; in the cleaning state, the collecting piece extends out of the internal upper space.

[0013] In the above technical solution, when in the cleaning state, the collecting piece extends out of the internal lower space to facilitate cleaning. When cleaning, if the entire device is slightly tilted under the action of gravity, the collecting piece can still be supported on the ground, that is, the base body and the collecting piece are jointly supported on the ground, thereby increasing the supporting area and ensuring the overall stability of the device.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present application, the collecting piece is rotatably connected to the base body, the opening extends along the circumference of the base body, and the rotation axis of the collecting piece is located at one end of the collecting piece; a driving part is provided at the other end of the collecting piece, and the driving part has a bottom support point of the animal shelter.

[0015] In the above technical solution, the moving path of the collecting member is clear, the movement is stable, and it is not easy to get stuck. On the other hand, the force direction when turning to open is horizontal, and it is not easy to have a vertical force component. Compared with the pull-out setting, this solution is more stable and not easy to tip over. In addition, the driving part of the collecting member can also serve as a bottom support point. When the collecting member extends out of the internal lower space, it provides a fulcrum at a position away from the base body to ensure overall balance and improve stability.

[0016] In the above technical solution, the collecting member is supported on the ground by the lower end of the driving part, which not only increases the supporting area and improves the stability, but also allows the collecting member to remain horizontal as much as possible to prevent tipping or leakage.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present application, the collecting member comprises a second bottom wall and a second side wall, and the second side wall and the second bottom wall form a receiving portion;

[0018] The second side wall includes a first portion and a second portion; in the collecting state, the first portion closes the opening and smoothly transitions with the outer surface of the base body.

[0019] In the above technical solution, in the collection state, the first part of the second side wall closes the opening, and the first part smoothly transitions with the outer surface of the base body, effectively reducing external force points to prevent animals from overturning or crushing the device through their claws at the opening.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present application, the second bottom wall includes a first semicircular portion and a second semicircular portion, the center of the first semicircular portion coincides with the center of the second semicircular portion, and the radius of the first semicircular portion is greater than the radius of the second semicircular portion; the first portion is connected to the first semicircular portion, and the second portion is connected to the second semicircular portion.

[0021] In the above technical solution, the edge of the collecting piece is an arc, and the radius of the first part is larger than the radius of the second part, so that the first part can be flush with the edge of the opening to achieve a smooth transition, and the second part is not easy to interfere with the inner wall of the base body or the edge of the opening to cause jamming.

[0022] In one embodiment of the present application, the height of the first portion is greater than the height of the second portion.

[0023] In the above technical solution, the height of the first part is relatively large to reduce the gap between the side wall and the base body when closed; the height of the second part is relatively small to avoid interference with the partition or the base body, facilitating the entry and exit of the collecting piece.

[0024] In one embodiment of the present application, four limiting ridges are provided on the second bottom wall, and the four limiting ridges cooperate with the edges of the urine pad, and the ends of adjacent limiting ridges are configured to be connected or not connected.

[0025] In the above technical solution, four limiting convex strips are used to limit the urine pad to alleviate the problem of the urine pad being interfered and deviated when the collecting piece is in and out.

[0026] In one embodiment of the present application, the internal upper space portion exceeds and is below the horizontal position of the connecting portion.

[0027] In the above technical solution, the overall center of gravity of the animal housing device is moved downward to improve stability and prevent tipping. In addition, the connection positions of the base, the partition and the shielding member are all above the liquid passage portion, making it difficult for liquid to leak from the connection positions.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present application, the separation body includes a liquid passing portion and an inclined portion, the liquid passing portion is arranged in the middle position of the separation body, the inclined portion is arranged along the outer periphery of the liquid passing portion, and the inclined portion connects the liquid passing portion and the connecting portion.

[0029] In the above technical solution, the inclined surface causes urine to gather in the liquid passage portion, and the inclined surface also guides urine on the inner wall of the shielding member downward to prevent urine on the inner wall of the shielding member from gathering in the connecting portion, further alleviating leakage at the connecting position between the shielding member and the connecting portion.

[0030] In an embodiment of the present application, the liquid passage portion is integrally formed on the separation body or is detachably disposed on the separation body.

[0031] In a second aspect, the present application provides an animal shelter device, which includes: a base, which is arranged to form the lower arc-shaped outer periphery of the animal shelter device; a shielding member, which is arranged to form the upper dome outer periphery of the animal shelter device; a connecting part, which has a circular cross-section and is arranged between the circumferential contact between the base and the shielding member; the connecting part is respectively connected to the base and the shielding member, and realizes a fully sealed docking assembly.

Its external surfaces except the bottom surface are all curved surfaces, the exterior is smooth without protrusions, and the structure is stable. When animals climb the animal shelter, it is not easy to overturn or crush the animal shelter.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present application, the base and the shielding member are fully sealed and assembled together through the connecting portion to form a nearly spherical structure with the bottom cut off.

[0034] In the above technical solution, the exterior of the device is spherical, has no climbing traction points, is not easy to climb, and effectively prevents animals from overturning or crushing the device.

[0063] Example

[0064] The embodiments of the present application provide an animal shelter device, which has high stability and is not easily overturned, climbed over, or knocked over by animals.

[0065] The animal shelter provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used as a pet toilet, pet residence, etc., wherein the type of animal is not limited, such as cats, rabbits, dogs, birds, etc., and the size of the animal shelter is set in proportion to the size of the animal.

[0066] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the animal shelter device includes a device body 1000, and the device body 1000 includes a base 1, a shielding member 3 and a partition 2. The base 1 is provided with a space for collecting urine, the shielding member 3 is arranged above the base 1, the partition 2 is located between the base 1 and the shielding member 3 for carrying animals, the partition 2 includes a partition body 21 and a connecting portion 22, the partition body 21 is provided with a liquid-passing portion 211 for allowing urine to flow down, the connecting portion 22 is arranged around the periphery of the partition body 21, the base 1 is detachably connected to the upper side of the connecting portion 22, the shielding member 3 is connected to the lower side of the connecting portion 22, and the base 1 and the shielding member 3 are fully sealed and docked with the connecting portion 22, respectively.

[0067] That is, the base 1 is arranged to form the lower periphery of the equipment body 1000, the shielding member 3 is arranged to form the upper periphery of the equipment body 1000, the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 22 constitutes the middle periphery of the equipment body 1000, the outer surface of the base 1, the outer surface of the shielding member 3 and the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 22 together form the outer surface of the equipment body 1000, and the base 1 and the shielding member 3 are fully sealed and docked with the connecting portion 22 respectively, so that the outer surface of the equipment body 1000 is continuous and seamless. Since there is no protruding fulcrum on the surface of the equipment body 1000, the animal shelter device as a whole is not easy to be overturned or crushed, and the continuous and seamless surface also makes the equipment body 1000 not easy to leak, that is, urine is not easy to leak from the inside, and external liquid is not easy to enter the inside of the equipment body 1000.

[0068] The connecting portion 22 constitutes the outer peripheral edge portion of the partition 2, and the connecting portion 22 surrounds the partition body 21. The partition body 21 forms an internal lower space and an internal upper space of the equipment main body 1000 with the base 1 and the shielding member 3 respectively. That is, the partition body 21 divides the internal space of the equipment main body 1000 into two upper and lower parts, wherein the internal upper space is used to accommodate animals, and the internal lower space is used to accommodate animal excrement, such as urine.

[0069] There are many ways to seal and connect the connection portion 22 with the base 1 and the shielding member 3, such as slot connection, snap connection or thread connection, as long as sealing can be achieved and assembly and disassembly are convenient.

[0070] For example, the sealing connection mode between the connection part 22 and the base 1 and the shielding member 3 is set to a card slot docking: the connection part 22 is provided with a protrusion and / or groove structure for docking, the base 1 is provided with a protrusion and / or groove structure for docking, and the shielding member 3 is provided with a protrusion and / or groove structure for docking. In other words, one of the connection part 22 and the base 1 is provided with a protrusion, and the other is provided with a groove, and the two are assembled by plugging the protrusion and the groove. Similarly, one of the connection part 22 and the shielding member 3 is provided with a protrusion, and the other is provided with a groove, and the two are assembled by plugging the protrusion and the groove. Among them, the base 1 is plugged into the lower side of the connection part 22, and the shielding member 3 is plugged into the lower side of the connection part 22, that is, the base 1 and the shielding member 3 are connected through the partition 2.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, a first protrusion 222 is provided on the lower surface of the connecting portion 22, and a first groove 1121 is provided on the upper end surface of the base 1, and the first protrusion 222 is plugged into and matched with the first groove 1121; a second groove 221 is provided on the upper surface of the connecting portion 22, and a second protrusion 31 is provided on the lower end surface of the shielding member 3, and the second groove 221 is plugged into and matched with the second protrusion 31.

[0072] That is, the first groove 1121 is located below the first protrusion 222, and the first protrusion 222 on the connection part 22 is inserted into the first groove 1121 on the base 1 to achieve the connection between the partition 2 and the base 1, and the second groove 221 is located below the second protrusion 31, and the second protrusion 31 on the shielding member 3 is inserted into the second groove 221 on the connection part 22 to achieve the connection between the shielding member 3 and the partition 2. Through the above arrangement, the outer peripheral surface of the connection part 22 smoothly transitions with the outer surface of the base 1, and the outer peripheral surface of the connection part 22 smoothly transitions with the outer surface of the shielding member 3, the outer surface of the base 1 and the outer surface of the shielding member 3 are continuously spliced ​​through the outer peripheral surface of the connection part 22, and the outer surface of the device body 1000 is continuous and seamless, so that the device body 1000 is not easy to leak, and the outer surface of the device body 1000 is smooth, not easy to be climbed by animals, and not easy to be lifted, which effectively improves stability.

[0073] The outer groove wall of the aforementioned first groove 1121 has a first spacing distance from the outer surface of the base 1, and the first protrusion 222 has a second spacing distance from the outer peripheral surface of the connecting part 22. The first spacing distance is equal to the second spacing distance, so that the outer peripheral surface of the connecting part 22 and the outer surface of the base 1 have a smooth transition.

[0074] The outer groove wall of the aforementioned second groove 221 has a third spacing distance from the outer peripheral surface of the connecting part 22, and the second protrusion 31 has a fourth spacing distance from the outer surface of the shielding member 3, and the third spacing distance is equal to the fourth spacing distance, so that the outer peripheral surface of the connecting part 22 and the outer surface of the shielding member 3 have a smooth transition.

[0075] like Figure 3 As shown, the base 1 includes a base body 11 and a collecting member 12 . The base body 11 is placed on the ground and is used to connect the partition 2 . The collecting member 12 is arranged in the base body 11 and is used to collect urine under the partition 2 .

[0076] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the base body 11 includes a first bottom wall 111 and a first side wall 112 . The first bottom wall 111 is a flat plate structure. The first side wall 112 is surrounded by the first bottom wall 111 . In other words, the first side wall 112 is surrounded and the first bottom wall 111 is connected to one end of the first side wall 112 .

[0077] The aforementioned first groove 1121 is disposed on the upper end surface of the first side wall 112, and the connecting portion 22 of the separator 2 is connected to the upper end surface of the first side wall 112. The shape formed by the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 22 is the same as the shape of the edge of the upper end surface of the first side wall 112, so as to ensure that the separator 2 is connected to the base 1 and the surface transition is smooth.

[0078] The projection of the partition 2 on the horizontal plane is circular, that is, the shape surrounded by the outer circumference of the connecting portion 22 is circular, and the shape of the edge of the upper end surface of the first side wall 112 is circular. The surface of the first side wall 112 can be the outer circumference of a cylinder, or the surface of the first side wall 112 is a part of a sphere.

[0079] The aforementioned second protrusion 31 is arranged on the lower end surface of the shielding member 3, and the lower end surface of the shielding member 3 is connected to the connecting portion 22. The shape formed by the outer peripheral surface of the connecting portion 22 is the same as the shape of the edge of the lower end surface of the shielding member 3, so as to ensure that the partition 2 is connected to the shielding member 3 and the surface transition is smooth.

[0080] The shielding member 3 is configured as a hemispherical cover. The device body 1000 of the animal shelter device is fully enclosed, and its external surface is an arc surface except for the first bottom wall 111. When the animal climbs the device body 1000, the force of the device body 1000 is directed toward the inside of the device body 1000, making it difficult to tip over, thereby effectively improving the stability of the device body 1000.

[0081] Through the above arrangement, the base 1 is arranged to form the lower arc-shaped periphery of the equipment body 1000, the shielding member 3 is arranged to form the upper dome periphery of the animal shelter equipment, the connecting portion 22 has a circular cross-section, the connecting portion 22 is located between the circumferential contact of the base 1 and the shielding member 3, the connecting portion 22 is respectively connected to the base 1 and the shielding member 3, and a fully sealed docking assembly is realized, so that the equipment body 1000 forms a fully enclosed type, and each component is fully sealed and docked and assembled. Except for the bottom surface, the external surfaces thereof are all arc surfaces, the external surface is smooth without protrusions, and the structure is stable. When animals climb the animal shelter equipment, it is not easy to overturn or crush the animal shelter equipment.

[0082] Furthermore, the base 1 and the shielding member 3 are fully sealed and assembled via the connecting portion 22 to form a nearly spherical structure with the bottom cut off, so that the exterior of the device body 1000 is a spherical surface with no climbing traction points, making it difficult to climb, and effectively preventing animals from overturning or crushing the device.

[0083] like Figure 3 As shown, the side of the shielding member 3 is provided with an inlet and outlet, and a two-way opening flip door 32 is provided at the inlet and outlet. By providing a two-way opening flip door 32 on the side of the shielding member 3 of the hemispherical cover structure, it is convenient for animals to enter and exit freely. In some embodiments, the two-way opening flip door 32 can also be provided on the top of the shielding member 3. In other embodiments, it is also possible to only have an opening 1122 on the side or top surface of the shielding member 3 without providing a flip door 32.

[0084] An animal pedal structure is provided at the lower end of the side entrance and exit of the shielding member 3. Figure 3 As shown, the animal step structure mentioned here refers to a step plate 33 provided below the flip door 32, and the step plate 33 extends inward from the entrance of the shielding member 3 to facilitate the entry and exit of animals. By providing the animal step structure, it is convenient for animals to enter and exit, and when animals go out through the animal step structure, it can reduce the burial supplies carried by the soles of the animals, thereby alleviating environmental pollution.

[0085] A plurality of protrusions are arranged on the step plate 33, and the protrusions increase the friction of the step plate 33, so as to remove burial supplies (such as cat litter) and feces carried on the feet of animals. In some embodiments, a plurality of through holes can also be arranged on the step plate 33, so as to allow burial supplies (such as cat litter) and feces to fall back into the partition body 21. The step plate 33 can be provided with a plurality of protrusions, or a plurality of through holes, or a plurality of protrusions and a plurality of through holes at the same time.

[0086] Combination Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the partition body 21 is recessed toward the base 1 along the vertical direction relative to the connecting portion 22 , so that the internal upper space part exceeds and is below the horizontal position of the connecting portion 22 .

[0087] The partition body 21 is mainly used to carry animals and objects such as cat litter for burying feces. The partition body 21 and the objects it carries are of large mass. By setting the partition body 21 as a concave structure, the overall center of gravity of the device body 1000 is moved downward, improving stability and further preventing tipping. On the other hand, the connection positions of the base 1, the partition 2 and the shielding member 3 are all above the liquid-passing portion 211, and it is not easy to leak liquid from the connection position.

[0088] The partition body 21 further includes an inclined surface, which is arranged along the outer periphery of the liquid-passing portion 211 and connects the liquid-passing portion 211 and the connecting portion 22. In other words, the upper surface of the partition body 21 is formed with an inclined surface, and the inclined surface connects the portion 22 and the liquid-passing portion 211. The inclined surface allows urine to converge to the liquid-passing portion 211, and the inclined surface also guides urine on the inner wall of the shielding member 3 downward to prevent urine on the inner wall of the shielding member 3 from gathering at the connecting portion 22, thereby preventing leakage at the connection position between the shielding member 3 and the connecting portion 22.

[0089] The liquid passage portion 211 is configured as a rigid mesh structure. The rigid mesh structure has good permeability and load-bearing capacity, and achieves the purpose of carrying animals and passing urine. The liquid passage portion 211 can be made of a hard polymer resin material, or can be made of a metal mesh coated with a hard polymer resin material. The hard polymer resin material can be Teflon, and antibacterial materials such as materials rich in silver ions can also be mixed in the hard polymer resin material.

[0090] The liquid passage portion 211 is detachably disposed on the partition body 21 , so that the liquid passage portion 211 can be removed and cleaned separately, and the liquid passage portion 211 can be easily replaced and repaired.

[0091] In some embodiments, the liquid passage portion 211 may also be integrally formed with the separation body 21 .

[0092] A column (not shown) is provided on one side of the liquid passage portion 211 facing the base 1, and the column is used to support the liquid passage portion 211. The column can improve the bearing capacity of the liquid passage portion 211 to prevent the liquid passage portion 211 from deforming. At the same time, a sleeve or a groove for accommodating the column can also be provided on the base 1 to play the role of assembly and limiting.

[0093] like Fig. 9 As shown, the collecting member 12 is configured to be movably arranged on the base body 11, and the base body 11 is provided with an opening 1122 for the collecting member 12 to enter and exit, so that the animal shelter device has a collecting state for collecting urine and a cleaning state for cleaning urine. In the collecting state, the collecting member 12 is located below the partition 2 to facilitate collecting urine leaked from the liquid passage portion 211 of the partition 2. In the cleaning state, the collecting member 12 extends from the opening 1122 to facilitate cleaning of urine in the collecting member 12.

[0094] In the cleaning state, the collecting member 12 is supported on the ground, that is, the base body 11 and the collecting member 12 are supported on the ground together, which effectively increases the supporting area, ensures the overall stability of the equipment, and facilitates cleaning. The supporting area here refers to the projection area of ​​the area on the ground surrounded by the line connecting the contact part of the base body 11 with the ground and the contact part of the collecting member 12 with the ground. Therefore, the collecting member 12 can be in full contact or partial contact with the ground. In this embodiment, the collecting member 12 is only partially in contact with the ground.

[0095] The collecting member 12 is configured to move in a straight line direction to enter and exit the opening 1122 on the base body 11. When in use, the collecting member 12 is pushed and pulled to achieve the pushing and pulling of the collecting member 12. For example, the collecting member 12 is placed in the base body 11. When pushing and pulling the collecting member 12, the directions of the pushing and pulling forces are always consistent to avoid the collecting member 12 being stuck with the inner wall of the base body 11, so as to achieve smooth pushing and pulling. For another example, the collecting member 12 is connected to the base body 11 through a guide rail to make the movement more stable and avoid blocking.

[0096] To further improve the stability of the device body 1000, optionally, as Fig. 9 As shown, the collecting member 12 is configured to be rotatably connected to the base body 11 , the opening 1122 on the base body 11 extends along the circumference of the base body 11 , and the rotation axis of the collecting member 12 is located at one end of the opening 1122 .

[0097] By setting the collecting member 12 to rotate and extend out of the base body 11, the moving path of the collecting member 12 is clear, the movement is stable, and it is not easy to get stuck. On the other hand, the force direction when rotating to open is horizontal, and it is not easy to have a vertical force component. Compared with the pull-out extension setting, this solution is more stable and not easy to tip over.

[0098] Since the rotation axis of the collecting member 12 is located at one end of the opening 1122, the collecting member 12 can be opened to a greater extent. Fig. 9 As shown, the opening 1122 extends along the circumference of the base body 11 for a distance of half a circumference, and the central angle corresponding to the opening 1122 is approximately 180°, which makes the rotation angle range of the collecting piece 12 be 0° to 105°. When the collecting piece 12 rotates 105°, most of the collecting piece 12 is located outside the base body 11 (that is, most of the collecting piece 12 extends out of the internal lower space of the device main body 1000), and the small part of the collecting piece 12 located inside the base body 11 is also near the opening 1122 for easy cleaning.

[0099] The collecting member 12 is connected to the base body 11 through the shaft sleeve 123 and the rotating shaft assembly 113. Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the shaft assembly 113 is arranged on the base body 11, and the sleeve 123 is arranged on the collecting piece 12. The shaft assembly 113 cooperates with the sleeve 123, and the collecting piece 12 rotates around the shaft assembly 113, so that the base body 11 and the collecting piece 12 are stably connected and rotate smoothly.

[0100] like Fig.11As shown, the rotating shaft assembly 113 includes a bearing seat 1131, a shaft rod 1132 and a limit member 1133. The bearing seat 1131 is arranged on the base body 11, one end of the shaft rod 1132 is installed on the bearing seat 1131, and the other end of the shaft rod 1132 passes through the sleeve 123 and is connected to the keyway of the sleeve 123. The limit member 1133 is detachably connected to the other end of the shaft rod 1132.

[0101] The keyway connection between the sleeve 123 and the shaft rod 1132 means that the inner wall of the sleeve 123 forms an axial groove, and the shaft rod 1132 is provided with a protrusion protruding radially from its outer circumference, and the protrusion cooperates with the groove to enable the collecting member 12 and the shaft rod 1132 to rotate synchronously.

[0102] The connection between the limiting member 1133 and the shaft rod 1132 can be a clamping connection or a threaded connection. For example, the limiting member 1133 has a threaded rod, and one end of the shaft rod 1132 forms an internal threaded hole to cooperate with the threaded rod.

[0103] When the collecting member 12 rotates, the shaft 1132 rotates in the bearing seat 1131, the friction of rotation is small, and the rotation is flexible. In addition, the collecting member 12 can be removed by removing the stopper 1133, and after using for a period of time, it is convenient to remove the collecting member 12 to clean the dirt.

[0104] In order to facilitate the rotation of the collecting member 12, the Figure 1 and Fig.10 As shown, the collecting member 12 is provided with a driving portion 124, and the driving portion 124 is used for being held by a person to drive the collecting member 12 to rotate.

[0105] The driving part 124 is located outside the base body 11 , and the lower end of the driving part 124 can serve as one of the bottom support points of the device body 1000 , that is, the lower end of the driving part 124 is supported on the ground.

[0106] The driving part 124 is connected to the side wall of the collecting piece 12, so that the driving part 124 can extend out of the base body 11. When rotating, the collecting piece 12 first moves away from the base body 11. By supporting the lower end of the driving part 124 on the ground, not only the supporting area is increased and the stability is improved, but also the collecting piece 12 can be kept as horizontal as possible during the extension process, effectively preventing tipping or leakage.

[0107] like Fig.12 As shown, the collecting member 12 includes a second bottom wall 121 and a second side wall 122 , and the second side wall 122 is disposed around the second bottom wall 121 .

[0108] The aforementioned sleeve 123 is disposed on the second bottom wall 121, the sleeve 123 penetrates the second bottom wall 121, the lower end of the sleeve 123 is connected to the second bottom wall 121, and the upper end of the sleeve 123 exceeds the second bottom wall 121, so as to prevent urine from entering the sleeve 123 from the upper end of the sleeve 123 and leaking. Optionally, the protrusion height of the upper end of the sleeve 123 relative to the second bottom wall 121 is greater than the height of the second side wall 122.

[0109] In the collecting state, the second side wall 122 closes the opening 1122 and smoothly transitions with the outer surface of the base body 11. In other words, in the collecting state, the collecting member 12 is located inside the base body 11, and the second side wall 122 closes the opening 1122, so that the second side wall 122 and the outer surface of the base body 11 smoothly transition, thereby effectively reducing external points of force, so as to prevent the device from being overturned or pressed down by animals through their claws at the opening 1122, thereby improving the stability of the device body 1000.

[0110] The second bottom wall 121 is in a rectangular shape, that is, the collecting member 12 is in a rectangular shape. At present, pet urine pads are generally rectangular. By setting the collecting member 12 in a rectangular shape, it is convenient to place the pet urine pad, absorb urine through the urine pad, and it is not easy to spill urine when the device body 1000 is moved, so it is convenient to transport the pet with the device body 1000.

[0111] The second bottom wall 121 is set to be circular, that is, the shape of the collector 12 is circular. Since the collector 12 is circular, when the collector 12 rotates in and out of the base body 11, it is not easy to interfere with the inner wall of the base body 11 or the edge of the opening 1122, and it is not easy to get stuck, so that the rotation is smooth.

[0112] like Fig.12 As shown, the second bottom wall 121 includes a first semicircular portion and a second semicircular portion, the centers of the first semicircular portion and the second semicircular portion coincide, and the radius of the first semicircular portion is greater than the radius of the second semicircular portion; the second side wall 122 includes a first part 1221 and a second part 1222, the first part 1221 is connected to the first semicircular portion, and the second part 1222 is connected to the second semicircular portion, and in the collecting state, the first part 1221 closes the opening 1122.

[0113] Through the above arrangement, the radius of the first part 1221 is greater than the radius of the second part 1222, so that the first part 1221 can be flush with the edge of the opening 1122, thereby closing the opening 1122 and achieving a smooth transition. On the other hand, the edge of the second part 1222 is an arc, which is not easy to interfere with the inner wall of the base body 11 or the edge of the opening 1122 to cause jamming.

[0114] like Fig.13As shown, the height of the first part 1221 is greater than the height of the second part 1222, so that the height of the edge of the urine pad is still lower than the open drawer mouth after being folded, and the collecting piece 12 is easier to pull out without getting stuck.

[0115] Reference Figure 3 The first part 1221 has a larger height to reduce the gap between the side wall and the base body 11 when closed. The second part 1222 has a smaller height to avoid interfering with the partition 2 or the base body 11, and facilitates the entry and exit of the collecting member 12.

[0116] The second side wall 122 further includes a first step portion 1223 and a second step portion 1224 , wherein one end of the first portion 1221 is connected to one end of the second portion 1222 via the first step portion 1223 , and the other end of the first portion 1221 is connected to the other end of the second portion 1222 via the second step portion 1224 .

[0117] In the cleaning state, the first step portion 1223 cooperates with the base body 11 at the edge of the opening 1122 to limit the collection member 12 from rotating into the base body 11 .

[0118] That is, when the collecting piece 12 rotates to the point where the first step portion 1223 abuts against the edge of the opening 1122 away from the rotating shaft assembly 113, the collecting piece 12 cannot continue to rotate. At this time, the collecting piece 12 is already completely inside the base body 11. Under the limiting effect of the first step portion 1223, the collecting piece 12 is prevented from excessive rotation, ensuring that the second side wall 122 is flush with the outer surface of the base body 11.

[0119] like Fig.14 As shown, four limiting ridges 125 are provided on the second bottom wall 121, and the four limiting ridges 125 cooperate with the edge of the urine pad. The four limiting ridges 125 are parallel to each other, and the ends of adjacent limiting ridges 125 are set to be connected or not connected. The urine pad is easy to interfere with the inner wall of the partition 2 or the base body 11. When the collecting member 12 enters the base body 11, the urine pad is easy to deviate. By setting four limiting ridges 125 to limit the urine pad, under the action of the limiting ridges 125, the urine pad is not easy to deviate due to interference.

[0120] When adjacent limiting convex strips 125 are not connected, the adjacent limiting convex strips 125 are arranged at intervals, which is different from the traditional rectangular right-angle urine trough. This makes the collecting piece 12 in this scheme have four larger extension angles. Such extension angles significantly improve the tight stacking of the square urine pad at the four corners, and also increase the cleaning difficulty of the user when cleaning the collecting piece 12. Optionally, the spacing distance between adjacent raised strips can be adjusted and designed as needed to change the corresponding curvature at the interval. Optionally, the surrounding raised strips do not have to be strictly designed according to the quasi-rectangular design, and can be adjusted according to the specific usage of the actual urine pad. For example: the raised strip itself does not adopt a straight line design but an arc or other bent shape. When the four corners of the urine pad are located at the intervals between adjacent limiting convex strips 125, it also enhances the limiting effect. In addition, the corners of the urine pad extend to the second side wall 122, so that the corners of the urine pad are not easy to wrinkle and accumulate, preventing the urine pad from exceeding the side wall at the corners after absorbing moisture and swelling, and preventing the urine pad from contacting the partition 2 and causing obstruction, ensuring that the collecting member 12 can enter and exit smoothly.

[0121] Optionally, combined Fig.10 and Fig.13 As shown, a side surface of the second side wall 122 close to its own center is an inclined surface, so that the upper edge of the second side wall 122 is relatively far away from the center, and urine is not easy to flow out from the edge.

[0122] The animal shelter provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes an air purification device 4 , and the air purification device 4 includes at least one of an air filter or a negative oxygen ion generator 41 .

[0123] For example, the air purification device 4 includes a negative oxygen ion generator 41 and a detector 42. The detector 42 is electrically connected to the negative oxygen ion generator 41. When the detector 42 detects that an animal is located thereunder, it sends out a working signal, and the negative oxygen ion generator 41 receives the working signal and works.

[0124] Please refer to Figure 3 , a permeable portion 34 is provided on the top of the shielding member 3, and the permeable portion 34 is a hollow structure. The air purification device 4 is installed on the permeable portion 34, so that the execution end of the negative oxygen ion generator 41 and the execution end of the detector 42 are both exposed in the hollow position. The structure of the permeable portion 34 can be selected as follows: the shielding member 3 is recessed inward from the outer surface to form a concave portion, and a through-hole is provided on the bottom wall of the concave portion. The air purification device 4 is located in the concave portion, and the execution end of the negative oxygen ion generator 41 and the execution end of the detector 42 correspond to the through-holes respectively.

[0125] In some embodiments, the detector 42 is integrated with the negative oxygen ion generator 41. The detector 42 can be selected as an infrared detector or a thermal camera, and its detection range is the projection range of the shielding member 3. When an animal enters through the flip door 32, it is immediately detected by the infrared detector or the thermal camera and a working signal is sent out.

[0126] In other embodiments, the detector 42 and the negative oxygen ion generator 41 are separate, and the detector 42 can be selected as a load detector for detecting the load on the partition body 21. When a change in the load on the partition body 21 is detected, the detector 42 sends a working signal.

[0127] By providing the air purification device 4, when animals use the animal shelter, the negative oxygen ion generator 41 works to sterilize and deodorize.

[0128] Optionally, the animal shelter device further includes a movable seat (not shown in the figure), which is separated from the device body 1000, and the air purification device 4 is detachably connected to the device body 1000 or the movable seat. In some application scenarios, if the device body 1000 is a temporary residence for pet transportation, such as a cat bag for going out, when it is not needed, the air purification device 4 can be taken out and placed on the movable seat, and placed alone in the animal's permanent residence for use. The movable seat can be optionally wall-mounted, the movable seat is attached to the wall, and a receiving portion is provided on the movable seat, and the receiving portion is used to accommodate the air purification device 4.

For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
