[0076] The first rotary motor 3211 can drive the first driving wheel to rotate, so as to drive the first transmission member to rotate around the first driving wheel and the first driven wheel, and then drive the first driven wheel to rotate, that is, the first driving wheel drives the first driven wheel to rotate through the first transmission member. The first packing rod 322 is connected to the first transmission member, so that the rotation of the first transmission member can drive the first packing rod 322 to move along the X direction.
[0077] The second transmission mechanism 3213 comprises a second driving wheel, a second driven wheel and a second transmission member. The second driving wheel is in transmission connection with the output end of the first rotary motor 3211. The second driving wheel and the second driven wheel are arranged in the Y direction. The second transmission member is arranged around the second driving wheel and the second driven wheel.
[0078] The first rotating motor 3211 can drive the second driving wheel to rotate, so as to drive the second transmission member to rotate around the second driving wheel and the second driven wheel, and then drive the second driven wheel to rotate, i.e., the second driving wheel drives the second driven wheel to rotate through the second transmission member. The second packing rod 323 is connected to the second transmission member, so that the second transmission member can drive the second packing rod 323 to move along the Y direction.
[0079] When it is needed to fold the garbage bag, the first rotating motor 3211 is started to drive the first driving wheel and the second driving wheel to rotate at the same time, so as to drive the first transmission member to rotate along the X direction and the second transmission member to rotate along the Y direction, respectively, and drive the first packing rod 322 to move along the X direction and the second packing rod 323 to move along the Y direction, so as to fold the garbage bag, tighten the garbage bag to the sealing assembly 33, and ensure the sealing of the garbage bag, prevent the garbage bag from having a leakage at the sealing, avoid the overflow of excrement odor and cat litter dust, and avoid the spilling when the garbage bag is discarded, and ensure the use experience of the breeder.
[0080] In the embodiment, the first transmission member includes a transmission belt.
[0081] In other embodiments, a transmission chain or the like can also be selected as the first transmission member according to actual needs, which is not limited here.
[0082] Further, the first transmission mechanism 3212 further includes a first guide rod, and the second transmission mechanism 3213 further includes a second guide rod. The first guide rod is arranged between the first driving wheel and the first driven wheel and extends along the direction from the first driving wheel to the first driven wheel, and the first packing rod 322 is slidingly arranged on the first guide rod. The second guide rod is arranged between the second driving wheel and the second driven wheel and extends along the direction from the second driving wheel to the second driven wheel, and the second packing rod 323 is slidingly arranged on the second guide rod. When the garbage bag is folded, the first transmission member drives the first packing rod 322 to move along the X direction, the second transmission member drives the second packing rod 323 to move along the Y direction, and the first packing rod 322 and the second packing rod 323 slidingly move along the first guide rod and the second guide rod, respectively, so that the first guide rod and the second guide rod guide the moving directions of the first packing rod 322 and the second packing rod 323, respectively, to prevent the first packing rod 322 and the second packing rod 323 from deviating and shifting, so that the garbage bag is completely folded and the sealing is ensured.

When the second transmission member drives the second packing rod 323 to move in the Y direction, the second gathering plate can limit the bag body of the garbage bag on the side of the second inclined surface close to the second packing rod 323. Through the cooperation of the first gathering plate 3222 and the second gathering plate, the bag body of the garbage bag can be completely gathered and accumulated, preventing the bag body from being missed to cause the sealing to be not tight.
[0085] In other embodiments, the second packing rod 323 can also not be provided with a second gathering plate.
[0086] The sealing assembly 33 is provided with a third inclined surface on the end close to the second rod body, which is arranged on the side of the sealing assembly 33 facing the first rod body 3221 and gradually away from the first rod body 3221 in the direction from the first transmission member to the second packing rod 323. As the first packing rod 322 and the second packing rod 323 move to continuously approach the sealing assembly 33, the bag body of the garbage bag is continuously gathered, and the bag opening is gradually reduced. When the garbage bag is gathered to the range of the sealing assembly 33, the third inclined surface can guide the garbage bag into the space surrounded by the sealing assembly 33, the first packing rod 322 and the second packing rod 323, so that the bag opening of the garbage bag is completely tightened to the sealing assembly 33, avoiding the bag body to be missed to cause the sealing to be not tight, ensuring the sealing of the garbage bag sealing, preventing the excrement odor and cat litter dust from overflowing.
[0087] In the embodiment, the sealing assembly 33 comprises a sealing plate and a heating element. The sealing plate is provided with a third inclined surface. The first packing rod 322 and the second packing rod 323 cooperate to tighten the garbage bag to abut against the sealing plate. The heating element is arranged around the periphery of the sealing plate. After the garbage bag is tightened to abut against the sealing plate, the heating element is powered to heat, so that the heating element heat-seals the garbage bag. The sealed garbage bag falls into the excrement collecting box 2. The bottom of the new garbage bag is sealed by the garbage bag sealing, so as to facilitate the collection of excrement of the pet again.
