The terms used in the specification of the present application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0034] Reference is made to Figures 1 to 11The application discloses an intelligent cat litter machine, which comprises a base 10, a detachable collecting box 30 is arranged on the base 10, the collecting box 30 is provided with a collecting opening, a rotatable basin body 20 is further arranged on the base 10, a sand discharging opening 21 is arranged on the basin body 20, the sand discharging opening 21 can move close to or away from the collecting box 30 when the basin body 20 rotates, and the sand discharging opening 21 corresponds to the collecting opening when moving close to the collecting box 30; a first cover plate 22 is arranged on the sand discharging opening 21, a first locking part 211 is arranged on the first cover plate 22, a second locking part is arranged on the sand discharging opening 21, and the second locking part is locked with the first locking part 211 when the first cover plate 22 covers the sand discharging opening 21; an unlocking assembly 13 is further arranged on the base 10, the unlocking assembly 13 can move close to the second locking part when the sand discharging opening 21 corresponds to the collecting opening, and the second locking part is pressed to make the second locking part separate from the first locking part 211; in addition, a deodorization assembly is further arranged on the base 10, and the deodorization assembly is used for deodorization.

[0035] On the basis of the above structure, when assembling, the first locking part 211 can be arranged on the second cover plate 12, and the second locking part can be arranged on the periphery of the collecting opening, so that the first locking part 211 is locked by the second locking part, and the first cover plate 22 can cover the collecting opening, thereby preventing cat litter in the basin body 20 from falling out of the collecting opening when the basin body 20 rotates; when it is necessary to clean cat excrement in the cat litter, the basin body 20 can be driven to rotate by an internal system of the base 10, when the basin body 20 rotates to the position that the sand discharging opening 21 is close to the collecting box 30 and corresponds to the collecting opening on the collecting box 30, the unlocking assembly 13 can move close to the second locking part at the collecting opening and press the second locking part when moving close to the second locking part, so that the second locking part separates from the first locking part 211, at this moment, the first cover plate 22 can be opened, the cat litter or cat excrement can be guided out of the sand discharging opening 21 to the basin body 20, and then guided into the collecting box 30 through the collecting opening, so that the cat excrement or cat litter in the basin body 20 is cleaned;

[0036] When the cat litter or cat excrement is cleaned, the basin body 20 can be driven to rotate again, because the basin body 20 is rotationally connected with the base 10, so that the sand discharging opening 21 on the basin body 20 rotates to the position of the base 10, and because the inner wall of the base 10 can abut against the outer periphery of the basin body 20, the first cover plate 22 at the sand discharging opening 21 has no space to be opened when the basin body 20 rotates, at this moment, the first cover plate 22 can be pressed again to the sand discharging opening 21 by the base 10, so as to be locked again by the second locking part, and the opening and closing process of the whole first cover plate 22 does not need to be manually operated, is more automatic, and the unlocking structure is simple;

[0037] Of course, the protruding block or other structure can also be arranged on the base 10, so that when the basin 20 is rotationally matched with the base 10, the protruding structure on the base 10 can press the first cover plate 22 during the rotation of the basin 20 to force the first cover plate 22 to be pressed back to the sand discharge opening 21 to be locked. The specific selection can be made according to the actual requirements.

[0038] Specifically, after the pet cat excretes, there will be an odor in the basin 20, which is easy to overflow to the outside, and after the excrement is discharged into the collection box 30, if the cat owner does not clean it in time, it is also easy to produce odor, so in this embodiment, the deodorizing assembly is arranged on the base 10 to deodorize the basin 20 and the collection box 30, so as to reduce the risk of odor overflow from the basin 20 and the collection box 30 affecting indoor air.

[0039] During assembly, the deodorizing assembly can be arranged inside the base 10 and close to the collection box 30, and then the odor in the basin 20 is guided to be discharged into the base 10 through the fan 51, so that the odor discharged from the collection box 30 and the basin 20 is adsorbed by the deodorizing assembly in the base 10, so that the gas overflowed during use is relatively fresh.

[0040] It should be noted that the deodorizing assembly can be selected from deodorizing agents (such as activated carbon, zeolite or activated alumina, etc.), which are filled in the box arranged on the base 10 or the groove arranged on the base 10, so as to adsorb the odor in the basin 20 and the collection box 30 through the deodorizing agent, purify the air, and reduce the risk of odor affecting indoor air.

[0041] In addition, the first locking part 211 in this embodiment can be a protruding block or a buckle 221 structure arranged on the first cover plate 22, and the second locking part can be a clamp or a rebounder with a certain elastic stress arranged around the sand discharge opening 21, and the first locking part 211 is clamped into the elastic clamp to lock the first cover plate 22, and the unlocking assembly 13 can be formed by a lever 131 or a pressing rod, and the unlocking assembly 13 can be arranged on the rotation track of the basin 20, so that when the basin 20 is rotated to the position where the sand discharge opening 21 corresponds to the collection opening, the unlocking assembly 13 can press the second locking part, and the second locking part has a certain elastic force, which can be contracted to release the first locking part 211 when it is pressed, or the first locking part 211 can be popped out of the second locking part when it is pressed, so that the first locking part 211 is separated from the second locking part, so as to realize the automatic opening and closing of the first cover plate 22.

[0042] It should be noted that the basin 20 can be rotatably installed on the base 10 by a rotating shaft 222 or a rolling body, and the rotating shaft 222 or the rolling body is controlled to rotate by a control program and a driving motor arranged in the base 10 to drive the basin 20 to rotate.

[0043] Further, the second locking part comprises a locking member provided with a locking groove 2112 and an elastic arm 2111, and a buckle 221 is arranged on the first cover plate 22 and formed as the first locking part 211, which can be clamped to the locking groove 2112 after the first cover plate 22 is capped to the sand outlet 21, and the elastic arm 2111 is arranged along the periphery of the locking groove 2112 so as to abut against the first locking part 211 when the first locking part 211 is clamped to the locking groove 2112; and the unlocking assembly 13 comprises an unlocking member and an unlocking driving member 132, which is used to drive the unlocking member to move close to or away from the first locking part 211, and the unlocking member can press the elastic arm 2111 when moving close to the first locking part 211, so that the elastic arm 2111 is separated from the first locking part 211.

[0044] Specifically, the locking member can be composed of the elastic arm 2111 and the locking groove 2112, and when assembled, the first cover plate 22 can be clamped to the locking groove 2112 through the buckle 221 after being capped to the sand outlet 21, so that the first cover plate 22 can be locked at the sand outlet 21 to always cap the sand outlet 21, and the elastic arm 2111 can be arranged in the clamping groove along the periphery of the locking groove 2112, so that after the buckle 221 is clamped into the locking groove 2112, the elastic arm 2111 can always abut against the buckle 221 due to the elastic force of the elastic arm 2111, so that the buckle 221 can be always locked, and when the elastic arm 2111 is stressed, it can be in a stretched state to release the buckle 221, so that when the basin 20 is rotated to the position where the sand outlet 21 corresponds to the collecting opening, the unlocking member is close to the elastic arm 2111 and presses the elastic arm 2111, so that the elastic arm 2111 is stressed in a stretched state to release the buckle 221, so that the first cover plate 22 is unlocked; and when the elastic arm 2111 loses stress, it restores its deformation and is located on the periphery of the locking groove 2112, so that after the buckle 221 is clamped to the locking groove 2112 again, it can be locked by the elastic arm 2111 again.

[0045] In addition, since the unlocking assembly 13 is composed of the unlocking member and the unlocking driving member 132, the unlocking member can be rotated by the unlocking driving member 132, and when the first cover plate 22 does not need to be unlocked, the unlocking member can be stored in the base 10 by the unlocking driving member 132, so that the unlocking member protrudes from the base 10 and affects the rotation of the basin 20, and when the first cover plate 22 needs to be unlocked, the unlocking member is rotated by the unlocking driving member 132 until it presses the elastic arm 2111, and the overall structure is more practical.

[0046] Specifically, when assembled, the elastic arm 2111 can be arranged on the rotation track of the unlocking member, so that the elastic arm 2111 can be pressed by the unlocking member when the unlocking member rotates.

[0047] It should be noted that the elastic arm 2111 in the embodiment can be formed by an elastic sheet or an elastic block structure with a certain elasticity, or can be formed by a plastic sheet with elasticity, so that it can deform when stressed to release the buckle 221. Of course, it can also be formed by a silicone or rubber block that can be compressed under stress, so that it can be compressed to release the buckle 221 after being stressed. The specific design can be made according to actual needs.

[0048] Specifically, the elastic arm 2111 in the embodiment is provided with at least two, and the at least two elastic arms 2111 can be arranged at intervals. In this way, the interval between the two adjacent elastic arms 2111 can form a locking groove 2112. When the buckle 221 is clamped in the locking groove 2112, the unlocking member only needs to arbitrarily press one of the elastic arms 2111 to release the elastic arm 2111 from the buckle 221. After one of the elastic arms 2111 is stretched and released from the buckle 221, the force of the falling buckle 221 can also be applied to the other elastic arm 2111. The other elastic arm 2111 also synchronously releases the buckle 221 after being stressed, so that the first locking part 211 is more easily separated from the locking groove 2112.

[0049] In addition, the locking groove 2112 is formed by arranging at least two elastic arms 2111, so that the buckle 221 is located in the locking groove 2112 and abuts against the elastic arms 2111 on both sides. Due to the elastic material of the two elastic arms 2111, the gap between the two elastic arms 2111 and the buckle 221 can be reduced after abutting against the buckle 221, so that the buckle 221 can be locked more tightly, and the first cover plate 22 can be more tightly sealed at the sand outlet 21.

[0050] Of course, the elastic arm 2111 can also be provided with three or four or more, and the locking groove 2112 is formed by surrounding the three or four or more elastic arms 2111. In this way, the unlocking member only needs to press any one of the elastic arms 2111 to unlock the buckle 221.

[0051] Further, the base 10 is provided with a mounting frame 17 arranged along the periphery of the collection opening and mounted on the top of the collection box 30. The mounting frame 17 is provided with a toggle lever 131 formed as an unlocking member. One end of the toggle lever 131 is rotatably arranged in the mounting frame 17 and connected with an unlocking driving member 132. The other end of the toggle lever 131 is provided with a toggle piece 1311 which can press the elastic arm 2111 when the toggle lever 131 approaches the elastic arm 2111.

[0052] On the basis of the above structure, the mounting rack 17 is further arranged on the base 10 and arranged along the periphery of the collecting opening, so that the unlocking member is mounted through the mounting rack 17, and the unlocking member can abut against the second locking portion of the sand discharging opening 21 when the sand discharging opening 21 moves close to the collecting opening, and the overall mounting structure is more stable.

[0053] In addition, the unlocking member in the embodiment is formed by the push rod 131 mounted on the mounting rack 17, one end of the push rod 131 can be arranged on the mounting rack 17, and the other end can be connected with the unlocking driving member 132, so that the unlocking driving member 132 can be driven to rotate and move close to the second locking portion when rotating.

[0054] Of course, in another embodiment, the unlocking member can also be formed by a top rod fixedly arranged on the rotating track of the basin body 20, and the top rod is arranged corresponding to the elastic arm 2111, so that the top rod can abut against the elastic arm 2111 when the basin body 20 rotates to the collecting opening, and the above-mentioned effect can also be achieved in this way.

[0055] Preferably, the push rod 131 is selected as the unlocking member in the embodiment, and the push plate 1311 is further arranged on the push rod 131, and the push plate 1311 can protrude from the push rod 131 during assembly, so that when the sand discharging opening 21 corresponds to the collecting opening, the protruding push plate 1311 on the push rod 131 has sufficient length to extend into the sand discharging opening 21 and abut against the elastic arm 2111.

[0056] It should be noted that the unlocking driving member 132 can be driven by an existing motor, which has stable structure and is easy to assemble.

[0057] Further, the basin body 20 has an air outlet 23, the base 10 is provided with a mounting plate 16 arranged opposite to the air outlet 23, the deodorization assembly includes a deodorization box 52 and a fan 51, the deodorization box 52 and the fan 51 are mounted on the mounting plate 16, the mounting plate 16 is provided with an air guide channel 161 and an air outlet channel 162, one end of the fan 51 is in communication with the air outlet 23, the other end of the fan 51 is in communication with one end of the air guide channel 161, the other end of the air guide channel 161 is in communication with one end of the deodorization box 52, the other end of the deodorization box 52 is in communication with one end of the air outlet channel 162, and one end of the air outlet channel 162 extends to the base 10.

[0058] On the basis of the above structure, the deodorization assembly in the embodiment is composed of the deodorization box 52 and the fan 51, and the mounting plate 16 corresponding to the air outlet 23 of the basin body 20 is arranged on the base 10 to mount the fan 51 and the deodorization box 52, so that the foul gas in the basin body 20 is guided into the deodorization box 52 by the fan 51 for purification, and the purified gas is introduced into the base 10 again, preventing the gas from overflowing and affecting the indoor air.

[0059] Specifically, the air guide 161 and the air outlet 162 can be arranged on the mounting plate 16, the fan 51 is communicated with the air outlet 23, the other end of the fan 51 is communicated with one end of the air guide 161, and the other end of the air guide 161 is communicated with the deodorizing box 52. The odor in the basin 20 is discharged through the fan 51, introduced into the deodorizing box 52 through the air guide 161, purified and deodorized, and the gas deodorized by the deodorizing box 52 is introduced into the base 10 through the air outlet 162, which can effectively neutralize the odor in the collecting box 30 in the base 10, thereby reducing the odor in the collecting box 30.

[0060] Of course, in order to deodorize the collecting box 30 and the basin 20 at the same time, the fan can be communicated with the collecting box 30 and the basin 20 at the same time, so that when the fan 51 operates, the odor in the collecting box 30 and the basin 20 can be introduced into the deodorizing box 52 for purification, thereby achieving efficient deodorization.

[0061] Preferably, the base 10 in the embodiment is provided with a mounting cavity, one end of the mounting plate 16 can be clamped, threaded or welded to the mounting cavity of the base 10, or can be integrally formed in the mounting cavity of the base 10, and the other end extends to the air outlet of the basin 20. When the fan 51 and the deodorizing box 52 are connected to the mounting plate 16, a shell can be used to cover the outer periphery of the mounting plate 16 to prevent external dust from falling into the deodorizing box 52 and the fan 51, affecting its use; and the shell can be communicated with the air outlet 23 and the mounting cavity in the base 10 after being connected with the mounting plate 16, so that the fan 51 can simultaneously extract and discharge the odor in the collecting box 30 and the odor in the basin 20 to the deodorizing box 52.

[0062] The specific fan 51 can be an existing air extractor and exhaust fan.

[0063] The air guide 161 and the air outlet 162 can be formed by arranging grooves or pipes on the mounting plate 16, or by arranging two air guide plates at intervals, which can be arranged according to actual needs.
