Detailed Implementation
[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a cleaning mechanism for cleaning pet waste is provided, including: a housing assembly 10, a shovel assembly 20, and a displacement assembly 30. The housing assembly 10 includes a housing body 11 and a handle structure 12, with the handle structure 12 fixedly connected to the housing body 11. The shovel assembly 20 includes a plate structure 21 and a conveyor belt structure 22, with the conveyor belt structure 22 wrapped around the plate structure 21. The plate structure 21 has an extended state and a retracted state relative to the housing assembly 10. The displacement assembly 30 includes a vertical plate 31, a sliding seat 32, and a sliding plate 35. The vertical plate 31 is fixedly connected to the housing body 11, and the sliding plate 35 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate. The sliding seat 32 is slidably connected to the sliding plate 35, with the sliding direction of the sliding seat 32 being a first direction X. The plate structure 21 is detachably connected to the sliding seat 32, and the conveyor belt structure 22 is detachably connected to the sliding plate 35. When the plate structure 21 extends, it causes the conveyor belt structure 22 to extend as well, allowing for the collection of pet waste. After collection, the retraction of the plate structure 21 causes the conveyor belt structure 22 to shift, shifting the side containing the pet waste downwards. Under the influence of gravity, the pet waste falls off the conveyor belt structure 22. The handle structure 12 allows for gripping, preventing direct contact with the pet waste and reducing the risk of contamination. Furthermore, the controlled placement of the pet waste further minimizes the possibility of environmental pollution. This application effectively solves the problems of cumbersome pet waste cleaning and processing methods in existing technologies, as well as the large area of pollution affecting cleaning tools and the environment.
[0033] It should be noted that the purpose of the sliding seat 32 is to allow the plate structure 21 to slide relative to the housing assembly 10, thereby enabling its extension and retraction. Since the conveyor belt structure 22 comes into contact with pet waste, some waste will inevitably stick. The detachable connection allows the plate structure 21 and the conveyor belt structure 22 to be separated for easy cleaning. The surface of the conveyor belt structure 22 is coated with an anti-sticking coating, which is either a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating or a ceramic coating. This anti-sticking coating further prevents waste residue from sticking together, effectively reducing the possibility of contamination of the cleaning mechanism. The PTFE coating is a polymer compound formed by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethylene, possessing excellent stability, corrosion resistance, sealing properties, high lubricity and non-stick properties, electrical insulation properties, and good anti-aging resistance. It can effectively handle the diverse and complex nature of pet waste, and the PTFE coating can be used in environments with large temperature differences and can be stored for a long time. The ceramic coating is specifically a nano-silica coating, which has non-stick properties, is easy to clean, and also has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. It can be used in the food processing field and can play a good role in preventing sticking.
[0034] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the sliding seat 32 includes a first seat body 321 and a second seat body 322. The first seat body 321 and the second seat body 322 are slidably connected along the second direction Y. A first elastic member 323 is provided between the first seat body 321 and the second seat body 322. The first elastic member 323 applies a pulling force to the first seat body 321 and the second seat body 322 respectively. The plate structure 21 includes a snap-fit part 211, and the second seat body 322 can snap into the snap-fit part 211. The first elastic element 323 applies a pulling force to the first seat 321 and the second seat 322 respectively. With the first seat 321 as the reference, the second seat 322 is pulled closer to the first seat 321. When the second seat 322 is close to the first seat 321, it engages with the locking part 211, thereby fixing the plate structure 21. When disassembly is required, the second seat 322 is pulled away from the first seat 321 along the second direction Y, thereby separating the second seat 322 from the locking part 211, thus achieving the effect of detachability. This arrangement is compact, and the arrangement of the first elastic element 323 more reliably realizes the detachable connection between the plate structure 21 and the sliding seat 32. It should be noted that the second seat 322 has a step extending inward along the second direction Y, and the locking part 211 is a boss extending in the opposite direction to the step extension direction of the second seat 322. During installation, the second seat 322 opens the step along the second direction Y, and after the plate structure 21 crosses the step from the third direction Z, the second seat 322 returns to its original position. At this time, the step and the locking part 211 of the plate structure 21 form a limit, so that the plate structure 21 cannot fall from the third direction Z, thereby realizing the fixation of the sliding seat 32 and the plate structure 21.
[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the second seat 322 has a pushing part 3221 on the side facing the first seat 321. The sliding seat 32 also includes a top block 324. There are multiple locking parts 211, and a receiving space is provided between adjacent locking parts 211. The top block 324 passes through the receiving space and is slidably connected to the first seat 321 in the third direction Z. The sliding direction is the third direction Z. The top block 324 has a pushing end 3241, which slides along the third direction Z to push the pushing part 3221 away from the first seat 321. Specifically, multiple locking parts 211 are provided along the first direction X. The pushing part 3221 is provided for the pushing end 3241 of the top block 324 to push. When the top block 324 slides towards the pushing part 3221, it pushes the pushing part 3221 away from the first seat 321, thereby realizing the separation of the first seat 321 and the second seat 322. This design allows for easy disassembly of the plate structure 21 by simply pushing the top block 324 along the third direction Z, avoiding the need for force along the first direction X or the second direction Y, which could lead to contact with residue on the conveyor belt structure 22 and prevent contamination. The multiple locking parts 211 reduce the force required to engage or disengage individual locking parts 211, preventing situations where the force required for engaging or disengaging the locking parts is too large and difficult for the user to achieve. It should be noted that any two of the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, there are two second seats 322, which are located on opposite sides of the first seat 321. A first elastic element 323 is provided between each second seat 322 and the first seat 321. The plate structure 21 is provided with multiple latching portions 211 on both sides of each second seat 322, allowing the second seat 322 to latch onto the latching portions 211. Specifically, there are two second seats 322, each located on both sides of the first seat 321 along the second direction Y. The plate structure 21 is sandwiched between the two second seats 322 and latches onto each of them. Each side has multiple latching portions 211, forming a receiving space and correspondingly providing a top block 324. This arrangement ensures that both sides of the plate structure 21 have snap-fit parts 211 that are fixed to the second seat 322. The second seat 322 on both sides clamps the plate structure 21, preventing the plate structure 21 from sliding relative to the second seat 322.
[0037] It should be noted that, as Figure 10As shown, to prevent the pushing part 3221 from being pushed open due to shaking or other reasons during use, and thus causing the plate structure 21 to fall off, a fourth elastic element 325 can be provided. The fourth elastic element 325 applies a force to the top block 324 away from the pushing part 3221, ensuring that the top block 324 will not fall off. In addition, to prevent the top block 324 from sliding out in a direction away from the pushing part 3221, a slider and a groove are provided between the top block 324 and the second seat 322. The groove is set along the third direction Z, and the slider is slidably set in the groove. The groove restricts the sliding displacement of the top block 324, and the slider guides the sliding direction of the second seat 322.
[0038] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the displacement component 30 further includes a control structure 33 and a transmission structure 34. Both the control structure 33 and the transmission structure 34 are connected to the upright plate 31. The control structure 33 controls the sliding of the sliding seat 32 through the transmission structure 34, thereby controlling the plate structure 21 to switch between an extended state and a retracted state. The control structure 33 is used to adjust the state switching of the plate structure 21. Specifically, the control structure 33 can be positioned away from the plate structure 21 to avoid the risk of pet litter contaminating hands. The control structure 33 can be of various types, such as a push block structure or a linkage structure, where pressing with the thumb converts the extension and retraction of the plate structure 21.
[0039] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the control structure 33 includes a control wheel 331, which is rotatably connected to the upright plate 31. An opening 111 is provided on the top surface of the housing body 11 near the handle structure 12, through which the control wheel 331 passes at least partially. This arrangement fixes the position of the control wheel 331, and the proximity of the handle structure 12 to the opening 111 makes it easier for the user to control the control wheel 331 manually. Specifically, the control wheel 331 controls the operation of the transmission structure 34, thereby enabling the extension and retraction of the plate structure 21. The shape of the control wheel 331 allows the user to rub it with their thumb while holding the handle structure 12, thus controlling the plate structure 21. This design allows the cleaning mechanism to be used with one hand, simplifying operation and expanding its applicability to various scenarios.
[0040] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the transmission structure 34 includes an input gear 341, a transmission gear 342, a pulley 343, and a conveyor belt 344. The input gear 341 and the control wheel 331 are rotatably connected to the vertical plate 31 via a first shaft. The transmission gear 342 meshes with the input gear 341. The pulley 343 is connected to the transmission gear 342 via a second shaft. The conveyor belt 344 is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 32. The basic size of the transmission gear 342 is smaller than the basic size of the input gear 341. The control wheel 331 rotates to drive the input gear 341 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission gear 342 to rotate, thereby driving the pulley 343 and the conveyor belt 344 to operate, ultimately displacing the sliding seat 32. The gears are designed for precise transmission and have high transmission efficiency. The basic size of the transmission gear 342 is smaller than the basic size of the input gear 341, meaning that a small rotation angle of the control wheel 331 is sufficient to achieve the complete extension and retraction of the plate structure 21. It should be noted that, to reduce the overall weight of the product, lightweight materials with a certain degree of rigidity, such as plastic, can be used to manufacture the components, making the product easier for users to operate. It should also be noted that there can be multiple transmission gears 342, which can be checked and calculated to reduce the transmitted torque and increase the service life of the gears.
[0041] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the shovel assembly 20 further includes an installation structure 23. Both ends of the conveyor belt structure 22 are fixedly connected to the installation structure 23. The installation structure 23 is provided with a locking part 231, and the sliding plate 35 is provided with a locking member 351 on the side near the installation structure 23. The locking member 351 can engage with the locking part 231. Specifically, as shown... Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the mounting structure 23 includes a first plate 232 and a second plate 233, which are rotatably connected by rotating pins on the sides. The two ends of the conveyor belt structure 22 are fixedly connected to the mounting members between the first plate 232 and the second plate 233. After the conveyor belt structure 22 is fixedly installed, the second plate 233 is aligned with the first plate 232, and the mounting members are fixed between them. Finally, by rotating the knob 235, the first plate 232 and the second plate 233 are locked, thereby fixing the conveyor belt structure 22 between the first plate 232 and the second plate 233. After the mounting structure 23 fixes the conveyor belt structure 22, it prevents the conveyor belt structure 22 from shifting relative to the plate structure 21. This fixes the side that contacts the pet waste and also prevents contamination of other components. That is, when extended, the upward-facing conveyor belt structure 22 contacts the pet waste; when retracted, the downward-facing conveyor belt structure 22 faces the trash can. The engaging portion 231 on the second plate 233 can accommodate the engaging member 351 of the sliding plate 35. The engaging member 351 can be a pin, which is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 35. The pin is inserted into the engaging portion to form a snap-fit. On the one hand, it fixes the plate structure 21 from different positions and directions, providing conditions for the extension and retraction of the conveyor belt structure 22. On the other hand, it can be detachably connected and cooperate with the plate structure 21 and the sliding seat 32 to ensure that there is no deflection in the length direction of the plate structure 21. It should be noted that using the conveyor belt structure 22 instead of the plate structure 21 to directly collect garbage can avoid cleaning the plate structure 21 or flipping the plate structure 21 to discharge garbage, reducing the possibility of polluting other items or the environment. In addition, when cleaning garbage, the conveyor belt structure 22 will provide a certain friction force to the garbage, causing the garbage to move onto the conveyor belt structure 22. Compared with the shovel action of the plate structure 21 directly, the garbage collection process can be faster and more convenient.
[0042] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the shovel assembly 20 further includes a tensioning structure 24. The tensioning structure 24 includes a tensioning seat 241 and a second elastic member 242. The second elastic member 242 is disposed between the tensioning seat 241 and the plate structure 21. Both the plate structure 21 and the tensioning structure 24 are enclosed within the conveyor belt structure 22. The second elastic member 242 applies a pushing force to the tensioning seat 241 and the plate structure 21 respectively. The tensioning structure 24 is used to adjust the tension of the conveyor belt structure 22. Due to the nature of the conveyor belt structure 22, it needs to be tensioned during use to cooperate with the plate structure 21 to clean up pet waste. It should be noted that, as... Figure 5As shown, the plate structure 21 is provided with a through hole along the third direction Z. The tensioning seat 241 extends into the through hole. The second elastic member 242 is provided between the part of the tensioning seat 241 that extends into the through hole and the inner wall of the through hole of the plate structure 21. This arrangement allows the conveyor belt structure 22 to always be in the maximum tension state, while the tensioning seat 241 will not fall off the plate structure 21 and cause the tensioning structure 24 to fail.
[0043] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism further includes a packaging processing component 40. The packaging processing component 40 includes an elastic support structure 41, a support housing, and multiple limiting seats 43. The support housing includes multiple mounting walls 42. Each limiting seat 43 is detachably connected to the mounting walls 42 on opposite sides of the support housing. The displacement component 30 also includes a sliding plate 35. The sliding plate 35 is fixedly connected to the upright plate 31. A limiting groove 431 is provided at one end of the limiting seat 43 facing the sliding plate 35. The sliding plate 35 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 431. The elastic support structure 41 is fixedly disposed at one end of the support housing away from the sliding plate 35. The elastic support structure 41 can support the storage bag. The elastic support structure 41 supports the storage bag. The sliding plate 35 causes the entire shell assembly 10, shovel assembly 20, and displacement assembly 30 to slide, allowing the shell body 11 to slide backward relative to the support shell. This allows the plate structure 21 to extend and scoop up the pet waste, positioning it above the storage bag. Finally, the retraction of the plate structure 21 causes the conveyor belt structure 22 to flip, allowing the pet waste to pass through the support shell and fall into the storage bag. The limiting groove 431 can also form a third-direction Z-axis limiting with the displacement assembly 30, enabling mutual displacement and limiting between the two, and ensuring that the waste on the plate structure 21 will not fall off during relative sliding. As the pet waste passes through the support shell and falls into the storage bag, gravity increases the weight of the storage bag. When the weight reaches a point where the elastic support structure 41 cannot withstand it, the storage bag detaches from the elastic support structure 41. Under the influence of gravity, the bag tightens downward, thus completing the packaging of the waste. This design avoids manual waste collection and packaging, reducing the possibility of human contamination. It should be noted that the elastic support structure 41 will fold downwards under gravity during use. After the storage bag falls off, it will return to its initial state due to elasticity, making it easy to put the bag back on next time. The elastic support structure 41 is located at the end of the mounting wall 42 away from the sliding plate 35, which keeps pet waste away from the user and also reduces the vertical height of the garbage bag and the garbage, thus achieving a labor-saving effect.
[0044] It should be noted that, as Figure 2As shown, the sliding plate 35 is connected to the housing body 11, the shovel assembly 20 is located below the sliding plate 35, and the displacement assembly 30 also includes a sliding rod 36. The sliding rod 36 is fixedly installed on the sliding plate 35. The first seat 321 is sleeved on the sliding rod 36 and slidably connected to the sliding rod 36. The first seat 321 is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 344. The sliding rod 36 is arranged along the first direction X. The first seat 321 includes a seat and a cover. Multiple arc-shaped through holes are provided on the seat. The conveyor belt 344 passes around the arc-shaped through holes.
