Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cat litter boxes, in particular to an automatic cat litter box. Background Art

[0002] Because cats tend to bury their excrement, pet cat owners typically equip their cats with litter boxes. Existing litter boxes include a basin body with cat litter placed within a chamber. After the cat has finished defecating in the litter, it uses its claws to move the litter to cover its excrement.

[0003] In the prior art, cat litter boxes mainly include ordinary cat litter boxes and automatic feces scooping cat litter boxes. Ordinary cat litter boxes require manual shoveling of cat feces, which requires personnel to clean regularly. Therefore, in order to facilitate use, automatic feces scooping cat litter boxes have emerged. Automatic feces scooping cat litter boxes generally have a rotating feces scooping mechanism that separates cat feces from cat litter by rotating the inner basin, or adopt a scraper structure that separates cat feces from cat litter during the movement of the scraper. However, the structure of the automatic feces scooping cat litter boxes in the prior art is relatively complex and the production cost is relatively high. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a kind of automatic cat litter box for cleaning in view of the problems in the prior art.

[0005] An automatic cat litter box comprises a box body, a collection trough being provided on one side of the box body, a cleaning structure being provided in the box body and moving within the box body, the cleaning structure separating cat feces from cat litter in the box body and moving the cat feces to the collection trough, an openable partition being provided between the box body and the collection trough, the partition being opened when the cleaning structure moves the cat feces to a side position of the collection trough.

[0006] In one embodiment, the cleaning structure includes a transverse support rod, and a plurality of cleaning brushes are provided on the lower side of the transverse support rod. The cleaning brushes move in the basin body to clean cat feces from the cat litter.

[0007] In one embodiment, the cleaning structure further includes a motor for driving the cleaning structure to move, and the shaft of the motor is connected to the transverse support rod through a connecting sleeve.

[0008] In one embodiment, an opening is provided on the side wall of one side of the basin body, the partition plate is located at the opening position, the partition plate is rotatably connected to the basin body, and the automatic cleaning cat litter box also includes a torsion spring, which is located between the partition plate and the basin body. Under the action of the torsion spring, the partition plate and the basin body are in a normally closed state.

[0009] In one embodiment, the automatic cleaning cat litter box also includes a connecting plate, one side of which is fixed to the partition plate, and the other side of the connecting plate passes through the side wall of the basin body to the outside of the basin body to form a rotating plate. When the cleaning structure moves to the rotating plate position, the rotating plate rotates under the action of the cleaning structure, thereby opening the partition plate.

[0010] In one embodiment, the automatic cat litter box further comprises a toggle structure. When the cleaning structure moves to the toggle structure position, the angle of the cleaning brush on the lower side of the transverse support rod changes, so that the cleaning brush faces different directions of the box body.

[0011] In one embodiment, the toggle structure includes a forward toggle structure and a reverse toggle structure, wherein the forward toggle structure is located away from the partition plate, and the reverse toggle structure is located close to the partition plate.

[0012] When the cleaning structure moves toward the partition plate, under the action of the positive pulling structure, the side of the cleaning brush close to the partition plate tilts upward;

[0013] When the cleaning structure moves in a direction away from the partition plate, under the action of the reverse toggle structure, the side of the cleaning brush close to the partition plate tilts downward.

[0014] In one embodiment, the forward pulling structure and the reverse pulling structure both include a fixed part on the side of the basin body, and a rotating part is provided on the outside of the fixed part through a rotating shaft. The rotating part is in a horizontal state, and when the rotating part is subjected to an upward external force, the rotating part flips upward.

[0015] In one embodiment, when the rotating portion rotates to the highest point or when the rotating portion rotates to abut against the upper side of the fixed portion, the center of gravity of the rotating portion is located outside the rotating shaft.

[0016] In one embodiment, the basin body is fan-shaped, and the collecting trough and the basin body are an integral structure or a separate structure.

[0017] The above-mentioned automatic cleaning cat litter box adopts a movable cleaning structure to separate the cat litter and cat feces in the box body. At this time, the cat feces are mainly concentrated on the upper side of the cleaning structure. When the cleaning structure moves to the partition plate position, the partition plate opens, so that the cleaning structure pushes the cat feces from the partition plate position to the collection trough, and the cat feces are collected in the collection trough. In this way, under the action of the cleaning structure, the cat litter and cat feces in the cat litter box can be separated, and the cat feces can be collected. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly on" another element, there is no intermediate element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only."

[0029] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an automatic cat litter box is provided, comprising a basin body 1, a collecting trough 2 being provided on one side of the basin body 1, a cleaning structure 3 being provided in the basin body 1 and moving in the basin body 1, the cleaning structure 3 separating cat feces from cat litter in the basin body 1 and moving the cat feces to the collecting trough 2, an openable partition plate 4 being provided between the basin body 1 and the collecting trough 2, and the partition plate 4 being opened when the cleaning structure 3 moves the cat feces to the side position of the collecting trough 2.

[0031] A movable cleaning structure 3 is used to separate the cat litter and cat feces in the basin body 1. At this time, the cat feces are mainly concentrated on the upper side of the cleaning structure 3. When the cleaning structure 3 moves to the position of the partition plate 4, the partition plate 4 is opened, so that the cleaning structure 3 pushes the cat feces from the position of the partition plate 4 into the collecting trough 2, and the cat feces are collected in the collecting trough 2. In this way, under the action of the cleaning structure 3, the separation of cat litter and cat feces in the cat litter basin and the collection of cat feces can be completed.

[0032] At this time, in order to make the overall structure of the automatic cat litter box simpler, in this embodiment, the basin body 1 is fan-shaped, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning structure 3 at this time rotates around the center of the fan-shaped circle. During the rotation, the cat litter in the basin body 1 is separated from the cat feces, and the cat feces are pushed into the collection trough 2. At this time, the collection trough 2 and the basin body 1 are an integral structure or a split structure. For the collection trough 2, it can be an integral structure with the basin body 1, and the middle is divided into two spaces by the partition plate 4. Of course, the collection trough 2 and the basin body 1 can also adopt a split structure, and the collection trough 2 is set on the outside of the partition plate 4 of the basin body 1 through a buckle or a limit groove. At this time, a garbage bag can be put into the collection trough 2 to collect cat feces.

[0033] The cleaning structure 3 is mainly used to separate cat litter and cat feces during the movement. Specifically, in this embodiment, Figure 2-4 、 Figure 6As shown, the cleaning structure 3 includes a transverse support rod 31, and a plurality of cleaning brushes are provided on the lower side of the transverse support rod 31. The cleaning brushes move within the basin body 1 to remove cat feces from the cat litter. In this case, the cleaning brushes 34 are a plurality of vertically arranged cleaning rods fixed to the lower side of the transverse support rod 31. The spacing between adjacent cleaning rods is larger than the size of the cat litter and smaller than the size of the cat feces. Therefore, as the cleaning rods (cleaning brushes) move, they can separate the cat litter from the cat feces and scoop up the cat feces, which is concentrated on the upper side of the cleaning rods. As the cleaning brushes continue to move, all the cat feces in the cat litter basin are shoveled on the upper side of the cleaning rods.

[0034] In order to enable the cleaning brush to move, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. Figure 2-4 As shown, the cleaning structure 3 also includes a motor 61 for driving the cleaning structure 3 to move, and the shaft of the motor 61 is connected to the transverse support rod 31 through a connecting sleeve 62. At this time, the cleaning structure 3 also includes a vertical connecting rod 32 arranged vertically, the upper side of the vertical connecting rod 32 is connected to the transverse support rod 31, and the lower side is connected to the connecting sleeve 62 through a bent portion 33, that is, the shaft of the motor 61 is connected to the bent portion 33 through the connecting sleeve 62, and the bent portion 33, the vertical connecting rod 32, the transverse support rod 31 and the cleaning brush are an integral structure. In this embodiment, the motor 61 is arranged at the center of the fan-shaped basin 1. Under the action of the motor 61, the cleaning brush rotates around the circular position, thereby separating the cat litter and cat feces in the basin 1 and shoveling the cat feces out. Of course, when the basin 1 is rectangular, a synchronous belt drive structure is also provided between the motor 61 and the transverse support, which is used to control the reciprocating movement of the transverse support, thereby completing the separation of cat litter and cat feces in the basin 1.

[0035] After the cleaning structure 3 cleans and collects the cat feces, in order to collect the cat feces, the cat feces need to be shoveled out from the basin body 1 containing cat litter. At this time, in order to facilitate the shoveling of the cat feces, in this embodiment, Figure 1-5 As shown, the side wall of one side of the basin body 1 is provided with an opening, the partition plate 4 is located in the open position, the partition plate 4 is rotatably connected to the basin body 1, and the automatic cat litter box further comprises a torsion spring, which is located between the partition plate 4 and the basin body 1. Under the action of the torsion spring, the partition plate 4 and the basin body 1 are in a normally closed state. In normal use, the partition plate 4 is in a closed state, that is, the opening is in a closed state. In this way, after the cat litter is placed, the cat litter box can be used normally. When it is necessary to clean cat feces, the cleaning structure 3 cleans and collects all the cat feces in the basin body 1 at the side position of the cleaning brush. When the cleaning brush moves to the side position of the partition plate 4, the partition plate 4 is opened. As the cleaning brush continues to move, the cleaning brush can shovel the cat feces from the basin body 1 into the collection tank 2, thereby collecting the cat feces.

[0036] As for the control of the movement of the partition plate 4, in this embodiment, the automatic cat litter box further includes a connecting plate 41, one side of which is fixed to the partition plate 4, and the other side of which passes through the side wall of the basin body 1 to the outside of the basin body 1 to form a rotating plate 42. When the cleaning structure 3 moves to the position of the rotating plate 42, the rotating plate 42 rotates under the action of the cleaning structure 3, thereby opening the partition plate 4. During the rotation of the cleaning structure 3, the connecting sleeve 62 connected to the motor shaft 61 will also rotate along with the motor shaft 61. When rotating to the side position of the rotating plate 42, the connecting sleeve 62 abuts against the rotating plate 42. As the connecting sleeve 62 continues to rotate, the rotating plate 42 rotates under the action of the connecting sleeve 62. At this time, a slot / hole that can accommodate the rotating plate 42 is provided on the side of the rotating plate 42. As the connecting sleeve 62 continues to rotate, the rotating plate 42 continues to rotate until the rotating plate 42 is completely in the above-mentioned slot / hole. In this way, the rotating plate 42 rotates. The plate 42 does not hinder the rotation of the connecting sleeve 62. At the same time, since the connecting sleeve 62 is located on the upper side of the rotating plate 42, the connecting sleeve 62 also limits the reverse rotation of the rotating plate 42 (under the action of the torsion spring, the rotating plate 42 will rotate in the opposite direction). In this way, during this process, the rotating plate 42 realizes a 90-degree rotation, so that the connecting plate 41 integral with the rotating plate 42 and the partition plate 4 fixed to the connecting plate 41 will simultaneously rotate 90 degrees. In this way, the partition plate 4 can be opened. When the connecting sleeve 62 rotates in the opposite direction, the partition plate 4 returns to its original position under the action of the torsion spring. At this time, in order to limit the rotation angle of the connecting sleeve 62, two micro switches are provided for limit positions, respectively located on both sides of the basin body 1 (one side of the partition plate 4 and the other side opposite to the partition plate 4). When the motor 61 controls the connecting sleeve 62 to rotate to the corresponding side position, the corresponding micro switch is connected, so that the motor 61 stops / or reverses.

[0037] In order to better scoop up cat feces and stir the cat litter during the movement of the cleaning brush, in this embodiment, the automatic cat litter box further includes a toggle mechanism. When the cleaning mechanism 3 moves to the toggle mechanism position, the angle of the cleaning brush on the lower side of the transverse support rod 31 changes, so that the cleaning brush faces different directions of the basin body 1. In other words, the cleaning brush is in an inclined state during the movement. In this inclined state, the cleaning brush can better scoop up cat feces. At the same time, when the cleaning brush returns after scooping out the cat feces, the inclined cleaning brush can also scoop up the accumulated cat litter, making the cat litter more flat in the basin body 1.

[0038] In order to change the cleaning inclination angle of the cleaning brush, the toggle structure includes a positive toggle structure 51 and a reverse toggle structure 52. The positive toggle structure is located away from the partition plate 4, and the reverse toggle structure 52 is located close to the partition plate 4.

[0039] When the cleaning structure 3 moves toward the partition plate 4, under the action of the positive pulling structure, the side of the cleaning brush close to the partition plate 4 tilts upward;

[0040] When the cleaning structure 3 moves away from the partition plate 4 , under the action of the reverse toggle structure 52 , the side of the cleaning brush close to the partition plate 4 tilts downward.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, both the forward-pull structure 51 and the reverse-pull structure include a fixed portion 511 on the side of the basin body 1. A rotating portion 512 is provided on the outside of the fixed portion 511 via a rotating shaft. The rotating portion 512 is in a horizontal state. When subjected to an upward external force, the rotating portion 512 flips upward. At the same time, when the rotating portion rotates to the highest point or when the rotating portion rotates to abut against the upper side of the fixed portion, the center of gravity of the rotating portion is located on the outside of the rotating shaft. When not subjected to an external force, the rotating portion 512 is in a horizontal state or the outer end of the rotating portion 512 is tilted upward. Since the rotating portion 512 can only rotate upward, the rotating portion 512 will only rotate upward when subjected to an upward force. When the rotating portion 512 receives a horizontal force or a tilted downward force, the rotating portion 512 will not rotate. When the rotating portion 512 rotates to its highest point, or when the rotating portion 512 rotates to abut the upper side of the fixed portion 511, the horizontal distance between the center of gravity of the rotating portion 512 and the rotation axis is the smallest. At this time, after the force acting on the rotating portion 512 is removed (the vertical connecting rod moves out of the position of the rotating plate), since the center of gravity of the rotating portion 512 is outside the rotation axis, the rotating portion 512 will return to its original position under the action of gravity. In this case, a protrusion can be provided between the rotating portion 512 and the fixed portion 511, or the rotating portion 512 can be configured as a bent structure. In this way, when the rotating portion 512 rotates to its highest point, the center of gravity of the rotating portion 512 is outside the rotation axis.

[0042] In this case, the fixing portion 511 and the basin body 1 can be integrally formed or separately provided, and then the fixing portion 511 and the basin body 1 are fixed together by fasteners. At the same time, the toggle structure and the vertical connecting rod 32 can be provided on the outside or inside of the basin body, depending on actual needs. In this embodiment, the toggle structure and the vertical connecting rod are provided on the outside of the basin body, which does not affect the usable space inside the basin body and also facilitates the connection of the motor 61.

[0043] The positive pulling structure is located on the side away from the partition plate 4, and the reverse pulling structure 52 is located on the side close to the partition plate 4. At this time, the bent portion 33 of the vertical connecting rod 32 will rotate relative to the connecting sleeve 62 under the action of external force. At this time, the vertical connecting rod 32 moves on the outside of the basin body 1, and the positive pulling structure 51 and the reverse pulling structure 52 are set on the movement trajectory of the vertical connecting rod 32. During the cleaning process, the cleaning brush moves from the side away from the partition plate 4 toward the partition plate 4 (that is, rotates clockwise in the figure). At this time, the cleaning brush is in a vertical direction (when used at the beginning) or tilted downward on the side close to the partition plate 4 (in this state after use). During the movement, the vertical connecting rod 32 contacts the rotating part 512 of the positive pulling structure 51 (contacts the side of the rotating part 512 or contacts the upper side of the rotating part 512). At this time, the rotating part 512 is in a horizontal state. Due to the obstruction of the rotating part 512 and the vertical The connecting rod 32 acts on the force of the rotating part 512 in the horizontal direction or tilted downward, and the bent portion 33 of the vertical connecting rod 32 and the connecting sleeve 62 will rotate relative to each other until the vertical connecting rod 32 tilts toward one side of the partition plate 4. At this time, the vertical connecting rod 32 contacts the lower side of the rotating part 512. As the vertical connecting rod 32 continues to rotate, it will give the rotating part 512 an upward force, and the rotating part 512 will rotate, thereby eliminating the obstruction of the vertical connecting rod 32 and allowing the cleaning brush to move normally. When the cleaning brush moves to the position of the reverse toggle structure 52, since the vertical connecting rod 32 is already in an inclined state and moves toward one side of the partition plate 4, the rotating part 512 will rotate under the action of the vertical connecting rod 32, and will not have an obstruction on the vertical connecting rod 32, so that the tilt direction of the cleaning brush will not change. After the cleaning brush continues to move, the cat litter on the upper side of the cleaning brush will be shoveled into the collection tank 2.

[0044] When the cat litter shovel is in the collection trough 2 and the cleaning brush returns, the cleaning brush moves toward the side away from the partition plate 4. When the vertical connecting rod 32 moves to contact the reverse toggle structure 52, the vertical connecting rod 32 contacts the upper side of the rotating part 512. At this time, the rotating part 512 blocks the movement of the vertical connecting rod 32, and then the bent part 33 of the vertical connecting rod 32 and the connecting sleeve 62 rotate relative to each other until the cleaning brush approaches the side of the partition plate 4 and tilts downward. In this way, the vertical connecting rod 32 acts on the lower side of the rotating part 512, which can make the rotating part 512 move upward. The rotation will no longer hinder the vertical connecting rod 32, so that the inclination direction of the cleaning brush can be changed at the position of the reverse toggle structure 52. At this time, the cat litter can be turned over while the cleaning brush continues to move, so as to flatten the cat litter better. When the cleaning brush moves to the position of the forward toggle structure 51, since the cleaning brush is inclined downward near the side of the partition plate 4, the rotating part 512 can be directly rotated at this time, and the inclination direction of the cleaning brush will not change until it moves to the initial position, the drive motor 61 stops working, and the cleaning brush finally stops at the left side of the forward toggle structure 51.

[0045] Therefore, during the movement of the cleaning brush, under the action of the forward toggle structure 51, the side of the cleaning brush close to the partition plate 4 is tilted upward, and during the return of the cleaning brush, under the action of the reverse toggle structure 52, the side of the cleaning brush close to the partition plate 4 is tilted downward, thereby achieving different tilt directions of the cleaning brush during the back and forth process, better shoveling out cat feces, and better leveling the cat litter.

[0046] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0047] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention, and while their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent for this invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
