The cat feces is sieved by the screen 332 and flows along the baffle 331 to the feces outlet 32. When the cat poop bin 3 continues to rotate, the cat litter temporarily stored in the sand storage space 312 can also flow back to the sand storage space 311 from the reflux port 333.
[0046] In the initial state, if Figure 3As shown, cat litter is stored in the litter storage space 311. For ease of understanding, it is taken as an example that the litter storage space 311 is located at the bottom of the accommodating chamber 31 and the litter storage space 312 is located at the top of the accommodating chamber 31. At this time, the cat can enter the accommodating chamber 31 from the entrance and exit and defecate on the cat litter. After the cat defecates and leaves, the gravity sensor of the cat litter box senses and drives the drum to rotate 180° in the counterclockwise direction with the feedback drive mechanism. During the rotation, the cat litter and the litter mass formed by the cat feces at the bottom of the accommodating chamber 31 will first slide to the screen 332. Through the filtration of the screen 332, the litter mass can flow along the screen 332 to the baffle 331 and be guided to the fecal outlet 32 along the baffle 331, and the cat litter can pass through the screen 332 and enter the sand storage space 312 formed by the baffle 331 and the cavity wall of the accommodating chamber 31 for temporary storage. Figure 4 The driving mechanism then drives the drum to rotate 180° counterclockwise, and the cat litter in the litter storage space 312 flows along the cavity wall or baffle 331 of the accommodating cavity 31 to the connecting port, so that the cat litter flows back to the litter storage space 311 from the connecting port, that is, after one rotation, the cat litter and the cat feces litter group can be automatically separated, thereby improving the convenience of cleaning cat feces.
[0047] In addition, if Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the cat stool bin 3 can also be a mounting seat, which is provided with a receiving slot 34 with an upward opening, the receiving slot 34 is a receiving chamber 31, and the notch of the receiving slot 34 is a stool outlet 32.

[0048] In the initial state, cat litter is stored in the sand storage tank 341. At this time, the cat can enter the sand storage tank 341 from the slot of the receiving tank 34 to defecate. When the cat defecates and leaves, the gravity sensor of the cat litter box senses and drives the mounting seat to rotate 90° to 180° along the third direction with the feedback drive mechanism. During the rotation process, the cat litter at the bottom of the sand storage tank 341 and the sand group formed by cat feces will first slide to the screen 332. After being filtered by the screen 332, the cat litter can pass through the screen 332 and enter the screen 332, the first stopper 3311 of the baffle 331, and the second stopper 331 of the baffle 331. 2 and the sand storage groove 342 formed by the groove wall of the receiving groove 34, and the sand group screened on the screen 332 or the first stopper 3311 falls from the stool outlet 32 to the leakage port 11 of the support seat 1; then the mounting seat rotates back to the initial state position along the fourth direction, and the cat litter in the sand storage groove 342 flows along the groove wall of the receiving groove 34 to the holes of the screen 332 due to its own gravity, so that the cat litter flows back to the sand storage groove 341, that is, the cat litter and the cat feces litter group can be automatically separated by rotating the mounting seat at a specified angle and resetting to the initial state, thereby improving the convenience of cleaning cat feces.
[0049] In some embodiments, Figures 2 to 10 As shown, the sealing door 4 is arranged on the support base 1, and the sealing door 4 can block the material leakage port 11. The feces collecting box 2 is connected to the support base 1, that is, the slot of the feces collecting tank 21 is connected to the accommodating chamber 31 or the outside only through the material leakage port 11, therefore, the slot of the feces collecting tank 21 can be blocked by blocking the material leakage port 11, thereby reducing the diffusion of the smell of the sand mass in the feces collecting tank 21.
[0050] In this embodiment, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the support seat 1 is composed of a first connecting plate 13 and a second connecting plate 14 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction (the vertical direction is the Z direction in the figure), the first connecting plate 13 is provided with a first opening 111 penetrating in the vertical direction, the second connecting plate 14 is provided with a second opening 112 corresponding to the first opening 111, the first opening 111 and the second opening 112 form a leakage port 11, and the first connecting plate 13 and the second connecting plate 14 are connected to form a closed fixed cavity, the feces collecting box 2 is connected to the bottom of the second connecting plate 14, the sealing door 4 is arranged in the fixed cavity, and the sealing door 4 is arranged at the bottom of the first connecting plate 13, the feces outlet 32 can be connected with the first opening 111, and the first opening 111 is blocked by the sealing door 4 to achieve the sealing of the fixed cavity and the feces collecting trough 21. By arranging the sealing door 4 in the fixed cavity, the activity of the sealing door 4 structure on the cat feces bin 3 and the feces collecting box 2 is reduced, so that the arrangement between the cat feces bin 3, the support seat 1 and the feces collecting box 2 is more reasonable, and the interference between the active structures can be reduced in a compact structure.
[0051] Of course, the sealing door 4 can also be arranged in the fixed cavity and located on the top of the second connecting plate 14, and the feces collecting groove 21 can be blocked by blocking the second opening 112.

[0057] Furthermore, the driving member 41 includes a motor and a first gear 411. The motor is arranged on the mounting portion 12. The first gear 411 is arranged on the output shaft of the motor. The rotation direction of the output shaft of the motor extends in the vertical direction. The second gear 412 is arranged on the first end 421. The first gear 411 is meshed with the second gear 412. The third gear 413 is arranged on the third end 431. The second gear 412 is meshed with the third gear 413. By meshing the second gear 412 arranged on the first end 421 with the third gear 413 arranged on the third end 431, the motor drives the first gear 411 to rotate, and the second gear 412 meshed with the first gear 411 can be rotated. The synchronous rotation of the second gear 412 can drive the third gear 413 to rotate, thereby realizing the driving of the first door body 42 and the second door body 43. The structure is simple, and only one motor is required to realize the rotation of the two door bodies, thereby reducing the occupied space of the driving member 41. Of course, in other embodiments, two motors may be directly provided to respectively drive the two door bodies to realize the first door body 42 and the second door body 43 to move closer to or farther away from each other.
[0058] Optionally, the cross section of the leakage port 11 is a rectangle, and the coincidence line of the first door body 42 and the second door body 43 coincides with a diagonal line of the rectangle. That is, when the first door body 42 and the second door body 43 are closed, they are symmetrically arranged about a diagonal line of the leakage port 11 to ensure the coordination of the structural installation of the first door body 42 and the second door body 43 and the synchronization of rotation. Of course, the cross section of the leakage port 11 can also be a circle, and the coincidence line of the first door body 42 and the second door body 43 coincides with a diameter of the circle. In addition, the cross-sectional shape of the leakage port 11 is not limited to a rectangle or a circle, and can also be other structures such as approximate rectangles, pentagons, hexagons, etc., and it is only necessary to ensure that the first door body 42 and the second door body 43 are symmetrically distributed to block the leakage port 11.
[0059] In other embodiments, Figure 2 and Fig.10 As shown, the first door body 42 is provided with a third stopper 424 protruding from one side of the second door body 43, and the second door body 43 is provided with a fourth stopper 434 protruding from one side of the first door body 42, and the third stopper 424 and the fourth stopper 434 are stacked in the vertical direction. By stacking the third stopper 424 and the fourth stopper 434, on the one hand, the area of the contact surface between the first door body 42 and the second door body 43 can be increased, and on the other hand, the sand mass odor in the feces collecting trough 21 can be reduced from flowing directly out of the leakage port 11 from the gap between the door bodies in the vertical direction, so that the sealing performance of the sealing door 4 can be improved and the diffusion of the odor can be reduced.
[0060] Furthermore, two mounting blocks 6 are arranged at intervals along a second direction at the bottom of the support seat 1 (the second direction is one of the horizontal directions, and no specific direction example is given in this embodiment), and a clamping block is protruded on one side of the mounting blocks 6 adjacent to each other, and a clamping groove is formed between the clamping block and the support seat 1, and clamping blocks are protruded on both sides of the feces collecting box 2 along the second direction, and the two clamping blocks are respectively inserted into the two clamping grooves to realize the detachable connection between the feces collecting box 2 and the support seat 1.
[0061] Furthermore, the cat litter box also includes a sealing pad, and the feces collecting box 2 is provided with a sealing pad on the side facing the support base 1. By providing the sealing pad, the connection sealing between the feces collecting box 2 and the support base 1 is ensured, so that the diffusion of odor in the feces collecting tank 21 can be reduced.
[0062] In addition, the sealing door 4 can also be arranged on the feces collecting box 2 , and the sealing door 4 can block the notch of the feces collecting groove 21 .
