[0034] To make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0035] An embodiment of the present application provides a pet toilet, which comprises a basin body 11 and a cleaning rake 21, wherein the basin body 11 is divided into a first mounting groove 111 and a second mounting groove 112 by a partition plate 110, the first mounting groove 111 corresponds to form a sand box for containing pet sand, the first mounting groove 111 corresponds to form a garbage box for collecting pet sand blocks, and the cleaning rake 21 can reciprocate relative to the basin body 11 to push the pet sand blocks in the sand box to the garbage box through the cleaning rake 21.

[0036] In order to provide driving force for the moving components such as the cleaning rake 21 in the pet toilet, the pet toilet can be correspondingly provided with a motor or other driving component to provide driving force.

[0037] In addition, in the embodiments provided by the present application, the related components such as the basin body 11 and the cleaning rake 21 are improved and designed respectively, which will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0038] Embodiment one, for the cleaning rake 21, it needs to reciprocate on the basin body 11 to push the pet sand blocks in the sand box to the garbage box, in order to improve the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning rake 21.

[0039] The pet toilet in the embodiment comprises a cleaning assembly 2, and the cleaning assembly 2 comprises a cleaning rake 21, a motion module 22 and a guide rail module 23.

[0040] The cleaning rake 21 comprises a mounting seat 211 and a rake body 212, the mounting seat 211 is provided with a sliding guide part 2111, the rake body 212 is provided with a sliding part 2121 and a guide part 2122, the sliding part 2121 is arranged on the sliding guide part 2111, and the sliding guide part 2111 is configured to guide the rake body 212 to slide up and down relative to the mounting seat 211; the lower edge of the rake body 212 is provided with a comb tooth structure.

[0041] The movement module 22 comprises a mounting frame 221 and a moving part 222, the moving part 222 can slide reciprocatingly on the mounting frame 221; the guide rail module 23 has a guide surface 230, which extends obliquely from bottom to top along the forward moving direction of the moving part 222;

[0042] The mounting seat 211 is arranged on the moving part 222, the guide rail module 23 is arranged on the mounting frame 221, and the guide surface 230 is configured to contact and cooperate with the guide part 2122 to drive the rake body 212 to move upward relative to the mounting seat 211.

[0043] Specifically, for the cleaning rake 21, the moving part 222 in the movement module 22 drives it to move reciprocatingly along the guide rail module 23. The cleaning rake 21 adopts a split design, which comprises the mounting seat 211 and the rake body 212, and the rake body 212 is assembled to the mounting seat 211 by the cooperation of the sliding part 2121 and the sliding guide part 2111.

[0044] In use, the moving part 222 in the movement module 22 can drive the mounting seat 211 to move reciprocatingly in the basin body 11. During cleaning, the moving part 222 drives the mounting seat 211 to move towards the garbage box, so as to drive the rake body 212 to comb in the sand box and drive the clumped pet sand to move towards the garbage box. After the rake body 212 moves close to the guide surface 230, the guide part 2122 will be attached to the guide surface 230. With the continuous movement of the rake body 212 towards the garbage box, the guide surface 230 cooperates with the guide part 2122 to make the rake body 212 move upward, so that the pet sand can be reliably pushed into the garbage box.

[0045] Meanwhile, with the upward movement of the rake body 212, the pet sand pushed by the rake body 212 can be more effectively pushed into the garbage box. At the same time, the pet sand can fall off the rake body 212 into the garbage box after the rake body 212 is lifted. In this way, when the rake body 212 moves reversely, the pet sand can be reduced to be pushed back to the part of the sand box away from the garbage box by the rake body 212, so as to improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0046] By sliding the rake body 212 up and down on the mounting base 211, during use, the rake body 212 moves back and forth between the trash can and the litter box in the basin 11. During cleaning, the moving part 222 drives the cleaning rake 21 to move on the mounting frame 221, so that the pet litter in the litter box is pushed into the trash can by the rake body 212. When it moves to the trash can, the guide surface 230 cooperates with the guide part 2122 so that the rake body 212 can slide upward relative to the mounting base 211, thereby effectively pushing the pet litter into the trash can. This reduces the possibility of pet litter being brought back into the litter box by the cleaning rake 21 when the moving part 222 moves in the opposite direction due to incomplete pushing of pet litter, thus improving cleaning efficiency and enhancing the user experience.

[0047] In another embodiment of this application, the guide rail module 23 includes a first guide rail 231, a second guide rail 232 and a third guide rail 233. The second guide rail 232 is arranged at a distance from the first guide rail 231. The end of the second guide rail 232 opposite to the first guide rail 231 is provided with the guide surface 230. The third guide rail 233 is rotatably disposed on the first guide rail 231 and located between the first guide rail 231 and the second guide rail 232. The third guide rail 233 overlaps the guide surface 230.

[0048] Specifically, to reduce the amount of pet litter pushed back by the rake body 212 during the reverse movement and reset of the mounting base 211 driven by the moving part 222, thus more effectively preventing residual pet litter from being pushed back, the guide rail module 23 is equipped with a first guide rail 231, a second guide rail 232, and a third guide rail 233. The third guide rail 233 is located between the first guide rail 231 and the second guide rail 232, and the third guide rail 233 can rotate relative to the first guide rail 231.

[0049] During use, the moving part 222 will drive the mounting base 211 to move back and forth.

[0050] During the process of the moving component 222 driving the mounting base 211 to move along the first direction, the guide part 2122 moves to the guide surface 230 and abuts against the guide surface 230 to drive the rake body 212 to move upward. The guide part 2122 will push the third guide rail 233 upward and move to the upper surface of the second guide rail 232.

[0051] Specifically, when the moving part 222 drives the mounting base 211 to move towards the garbage box, i.e., along the first direction, the guide part 2122 will move towards the guide surface 230. The guide part 2122 continues to move against the guide surface 230 to drive the rake body 212 to rise. As the guide part 2122 continues to move on the guide surface 230, it will push open the third guide rail 233 and eventually slide to the upper surface of the second guide rail 232. During this process, the third guide rail 233 will rotate open and, after disengaging from the guide part 2122, will rotate in the opposite direction due to gravity and re-attach to the guide surface 230.

[0052] After the moving part 222 moves into place along the first direction, the guide part 2122 will move to the upper surface of the second guide rail 232. At this time, the rake body 212 is raised relative to the mounting base 211 and rises out of the sand box.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, during the process of the moving component 222 driving the mounting base 211 to move along the second direction, the guide portion 2122 slides sequentially on the upper surface of the second guide rail 232, the upper surface of the third guide rail 233, and the upper surface of the first guide rail 231; after the guide portion 2122 disengages from the upper surface of the first guide rail 231, the rake body 212 slides downward relative to the mounting base 211 to reset; wherein, the first direction and the second direction are opposite.

[0054] Specifically, when the moving part 222 drives the mounting base 211 away from the garbage box direction, i.e., moves along the second direction, the guide part 2122 will slide and support the upper surface of the second guide rail 232, the third guide rail 233 and the first guide rail 231. After the moving part 222 moves into place along the second direction, the guide part 2122 will disengage from the first guide rail 231, and the rake body 212 will move downward relative to the mounting base 211 under its own gravity and eventually return to its original position.

[0055] This completes one cleaning operation. During the resetting process of the moving part 222 in the second direction, as the rake body 212 rises and disengages from the litter box, it can prevent the rake body 212 from pushing the pet litter in the litter box in the opposite direction, thus avoiding the residual pet litter clumps being pushed in the opposite direction by the rake body 212, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency more effectively.

[0056] Furthermore, during the reverse movement of the moving part 222 along the second direction, the lower end of the rake body 212 detaches from the pet litter in the litter box, resulting in less resistance and smoother movement. In addition, it also reduces the amount of pet litter breakage caused by the reverse movement of the rake body 212, which is more conducive to improving the user experience.

[0057] In another embodiment, the bottom of the mounting frame 221 is also provided with an inner folded edge 2211, which is arranged below the guide rail module 23;

[0058] After the guide portion 2122 disengages from the upper surface of the first guide rail 231, the guide portion 2122 abuts against the inner folded edge 2211.

[0059] Specifically, during the movement of the moving part 222 and the mounting base 211 along the first direction, the guide part 2122 is supported by the inner folded edge 2211, and the guide part 2122 is guided by the inner folded edge 2211 to ensure smooth movement.

[0060] In another embodiment of this application, the mounting frame 221 is provided with guide rail modules 23 on both sides, wherein a rack structure 2311 is provided on the first guide rail 231 of one of the guide rail modules 23, and the rack structure 2311 extends along the length direction of the first guide rail 231.

[0061] The sliding part 2121 can also move laterally back and forth on the sliding guide part 2111. The mounting base 211 and the rake body 212, the side of the rake body 212 is provided with a protruding structure 2123 that cooperates with the rack structure 2311.

[0062] The rack structure 2311 is configured to abut against the protrusion structure 2123 to drive the rake body 212 to sway laterally on the mounting base 211.

[0063] Specifically, to improve the smoothness of the movement of the cleaning rake 21, especially during movement in the first direction, the rake body 212 needs to clean and move the clumps of pet litter in the litter box. During movement, the pet litter clumps may be obstructed by the litter. Therefore, during the movement of the cleaning rake 21, the protruding structure 2123 on the rake body 212 engages with the teeth of the rack structure 2311 on the first guide rail 231, causing the rake body 212 to sway laterally relative to the mounting base 211. This swaying of the rake body 212 during movement in the first direction allows the clumps of pet litter to move smoothly within the litter, improving the smoothness of equipment operation and reducing the risk of jamming due to large pet litter clumps obstructing movement, thus improving reliability.

[0064] In one embodiment, the sliding guide 2111 and its cooperating sliding guide 2121 must meet the requirements of the rake body 212 moving up and down and swaying left and right. For this purpose, a guide groove can be formed on the surface of the mounting base 211, and the guide groove forms the sliding guide 2111. The guide groove is arranged vertically and has an L-shaped cross-section. The sliding guide 2121 is an insert provided on the rake body 212 and has an L-shaped cross-section.

[0065] Specifically, the sliding guide part 2111 adopts an L-shaped guide groove, and the sliding part 2121 adopts an L-shaped insert. The insert can slide up and down in the guide groove, and the insert can also sway left and right in the guide groove.

[0066] In another embodiment, in order to drive the moving part 222 to reciprocate, two synchronous wheels are respectively provided on both sides of the mounting frame 221, and a synchronous belt 223 is provided on the two synchronous wheels located on the same side of the mounting frame 221. A synchronous shaft is provided between the two synchronous wheels arranged opposite to each other, and the moving part 222 is disposed on the synchronous belt 223.

[0067] Specifically, a synchronous belt 223 is used to drive the moving part 222 to move back and forth. The mounting base 211 is located between the synchronous belts 223 on both sides. The moving part 222 is driven by the synchronous belts 223 on both sides, so that the cleaning rake 21 can move back and forth reliably and smoothly.

[0068] The movable component 222 can be a mounting block fixed on the timing belt 223, and the mounting base 211 is fixed between two mounting blocks.

[0069] In addition, the synchronous shaft can be powered by a motor fixed on the mounting frame 221 or by a motor set independently of the mounting frame 221; there are no restrictions on this.

[0070] In Example 2, the litter box 11 has a litter box and a trash can inside. The trash can collects clumps of pet litter. To automatically handle clumps of pet litter, the pet toilet is additionally equipped with a shredder 4. Specifically...

[0071] The pet toilet includes a litter box assembly 1 and a pulverizing assembly 4, which are assembled together to form a litter box module.

[0072] The sand basin assembly 1 includes a basin body 11, a filter frame 12, and a collection chamber 13. A partition 110 is provided in the basin body 11, dividing it into a first mounting groove 111 and a second mounting groove 112. The filter frame 12 is disposed in the first mounting groove 111 to form a sand box, and the collection chamber 13 is disposed in the second mounting groove 112 to form a waste box. A drain pipe (not shown) is provided on the basin body 11.

[0073] The crushing component 4 includes a crushing blade 41 and a blade shaft 42. The crushing blade 41 is mounted on the blade shaft 42, and the blade shaft 42 is rotatably mounted on the collection chamber 13. The crushing blade 41 is located at the bottom of the collection chamber 13, and a drain outlet 130 is also provided at the bottom of the collection chamber 13, which is connected to the drain pipe.

[0074] Specifically, the filter frame 12 is used to hold pet litter. After the pet defecates in the pet litter in the filter frame 12, pet litter clumps are formed. The pet litter clumps can be cleaned into the collection chamber 13 by the cleaning rake 21.

[0075] As for the pet clumps collected in the collection chamber 13, the crushing blade 41 can be rotated by the blade shaft 42 to break up the pet clumps, and the broken pet clumps can be automatically discharged through the drain port 130.

[0076] By setting a collection chamber 13 in the second mounting groove 112 of the basin 11, and setting a crushing component 4 in the collection chamber 13, the crushing blade 41 in the crushing component 4 can be driven by the blade shaft 42 to rotate and crush in the collection chamber 13. In this way, the pet litter entering the collection chamber 13 can be crushed by the crushing blade 41 at the bottom. The crushed pet litter can be discharged from the drain port 130 at the bottom of the collection chamber 13, thereby realizing the automatic cleaning of the pet litter in the collection chamber 13 to improve the user experience.

[0077] In one embodiment, the blade shaft 42 is further provided with a spiral blade 43, which is arranged above the crushing blade 41.

[0078] Specifically, for the pet clumps pushed into the collection chamber 13, under the rotation of the blade shaft 42, a spiral blade 43 can squeeze and transport the pet clumps to the crushing blade 41 at the bottom, so that the pet clumps can be effectively crushed by the crushing blade 41.

[0079] In another embodiment, the collection chamber 13 includes a collection trough 131 and a discharge channel 132. The collection trough 131 is disposed at the top of the discharge channel 132, the discharge channel 132 is arranged vertically, and the discharge port 130 is disposed at the bottom of the discharge channel 132. The spiral blade 43 and the crushing blade 41 are located in the discharge channel 132.

[0080] Specifically, the opening of the top collection trough 131 is large and meets the width requirement of the filter frame 12, so that pet clumps pushed by the cleaning rake 21 on the filter frame 12 can be collected into the collection trough 131. The discharge channel 132 can work with the spiral blade 43 to squeeze and transport the pet clumps. At the same time, the discharge channel 132 can also work with the crushing blade 41 to break and disperse the pet clumps.

[0081] The inner wall of the discharge channel 132 is provided with a first annular baffle 133, and the crushing blade 41 and the sewage outlet 130 are located below the first annular baffle 133.

[0082] Specifically, the first annular baffle 133 restricts the upward movement of pet clumps during the crushing process of the crusher 41, thereby improving the crushing efficiency.

[0083] In addition, the inner wall of the discharge channel 132 is provided with a second annular baffle 134, which is located above the first annular baffle 133. The spiral blade 43 passes through the second annular baffle 134 and the first annular baffle 133 in sequence.

[0084] Specifically, the second annular baffle 134 can reliably transport pet clumps to the bottom of the first annular baffle 133 for crushing in conjunction with the spiral blades 43.

[0085] In another embodiment of this application, a first water inlet pipe 113 is provided on the basin 11, and the first water inlet pipe 113 is connected to the first mounting groove 111; a water inlet 135 is provided at the upper end of the discharge channel 132, and the water inlet 135 is connected to the first mounting groove 111.

[0086] Specifically, to meet the requirements for cleaning pet litter on the filter rack 12, a first water inlet pipe 113 is provided on the basin 11 to input water into the first mounting groove 111 to clean the pet litter. To improve water utilization, the water used in the first mounting groove 111 can enter the discharge channel 132 through the water inlet 135 to effectively remove broken pet litter clumps from the discharge channel 132. A drain pipe is connected to the outside of the basin 11, connecting to the drain outlet 130. Water mixed with broken pet litter clumps is discharged from the drain pipe to the outside of the basin 11.

[0087] In another embodiment, a second water inlet pipe 114 is provided on the basin 11, and a flushing port 136 is provided on the side wall of the collection tank 131, with the second water inlet pipe 114 connected to the flushing port 136.

[0088] Specifically, in order to clean the surface of the collection tank 131, water introduced through the second water inlet pipe 114 can enter the collection tank 131 through the flushing port 136 to clean its surface.

[0089] In another embodiment of this application, the sand basin module may also include the cleaning component 2 of the above embodiment one.

[0090] The specific structure and working process of cleaning component 2 will not be elaborated here.

[0091] Example 3: To achieve a modular design for pet toilets, making it easier for users to clean and maintain them.
