For ease of implementation, it is preferred to use tap water with a control valve and a water storage tank 111 with a water pump to provide high water pressure to meet and achieve a better flushing effect.

[0043] like Figure 1 , 3 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, a feces scooping device 120 is used to separate cat litter and cat feces in a cat litter box 200. At this time, the cat feces are mainly concentrated on the upper side of the feces scooping device 120. When the feces scooping device 120 rotates to a position near the sewage outlet 2001 in the cat litter box 200, the feces scooping device 120 flips forward to push the cat feces from the sewage outlet 2001 of the cat litter box 200 into the sewage system 300. The cat feces dissolves with the sewage in the sewage system 300. In this way, under the action of the feces scooping device 120, the separation of cat litter and cat feces in the cat litter box 200 and the collection of cat feces can be completed.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, for ease of understanding, the movement of the poop shoveling device 120 to the side close to the sewage outlet of the cat litter box is defined as the end position, and the initial starting point of the poop shoveling device 120 is defined as the starting point. At this time, the poop shoveling device 120 is axially flipped along the support hole 1011, that is, flipped from the starting position to the end position. During the flipping process, the cat litter and cat feces in the cat litter box 200 are separated, and finally the cat feces are pushed into the sewage system 300 by the shovel rake 121. Furthermore, for cleaning, the sewage system 300 and the cat litter box 200 are a split structure, and the sewage system 300 is arranged below the cat litter box 200 for collecting and discharging cat feces and urine.

[0045] Further, if Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the feces shoveling device 120 is mainly used to separate cat litter and cat feces during the flipping process. The feces shoveling device 120 is installed on the bracket 101. The feces shoveling device 120 includes a driving motor 122, a driving wheel 123, a passive wheel 124 and a shoveling rake 121. The driving wheel 123 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft of the driving motor. The driving motor 122 is installed on the bracket 101. The shoveling rake 121 is provided with a rotating shaft 1211. The bracket 101 is provided with a support that matches the shoveling rake rotating shaft 1211 and can pass through. Hole 1011, the support hole 1011 and the rotating shaft 1211 are clearance-matched, the passive wheel 124 is fixedly mounted on the shovel 121, and under the meshing drive of the driving wheel 123 and the passive wheel 124, the shovel rotating shaft 1211 can rotate around the support hole 1011 to perform axial forward or backward flipping action, and the cat litter and cat feces are separated by flipping. When in the initial position, it flips backward to a horizontal state, which can reserve enough space for the cat to enter and exit, and when it flips forward, the cat feces can be shoveled into the sewage system 300.

[0046] like Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the lower side of the feces shoveling device 120 is provided with a plurality of shovel rakes 121, and the shovel rakes 121 can be turned over in the cat litter box 200 to separate cat feces from cat litter. The lower side of the shovel rake 121 is provided with a plurality of vertical rake teeth 1212, and the spacing between adjacent rake teeth 1212 is larger than the size of the cat litter and smaller than the size of the cat feces, so that the cat litter and cat feces can be separated and turned over during the turning process of the shovel rake 121, and the cat feces are concentrated on the upper side of the rake teeth 1212. When the shovel rake 121 continues the turning process, all the cat feces in the cat litter box 200 are shoveled together on the upper side of the rake teeth 1212, and the cat feces are pushed into the sink 310 of the sewage system 300 at the sewage outlet 2001 of the cat litter box.

[0047] like Figure 4 , 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, in order to ensure that cat feces or cat urine lumps are fully dissolved and discharged, the sewage system 300 includes a sink 310, a crushing device 330 and a sewage pipe 340. The sink 310 is provided with a sewage hole 3101 connected to the sewage pipe 340. The crushing device 330 includes a crushing motor 331 and a crushing knife 332. The crushing device 330 is installed on the crushing device fixing frame 2003 of the cat litter box 200. Similarly, considering the convenience of installation, the crushing device 330 can also be installed on the bracket assembly 100 or the sink 310. The crushing knife 332 extends into the sink 310. After the cat feces or cat urine lumps are crushed by the crushing knife 332 in the sink 310, they are dissolved with sewage and discharged into the sewer or sewage storage tank 350 through the sewage hole 3101 and the sewage pipe 340.

[0048] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the cat feces or cat urine to be fully crushed, in the actual implementation example, the crushing is carried out while spraying water, so that the cat feces or cat urine clumps are fully dissolved in the sewage and discharged while dissolving, avoiding sewage blockage or overflow.

[0049] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate sewage discharge and prevent cat litter from being washed into the sewer by sewage and causing blockage, a sand filter basket 320 is provided in the water tank 310, and the sand filter basket 320 is provided with a leakage hole 2002. The maximum size of the through holes of the cat litter basin 200 and the leakage hole 2002 of the sand filter basket is smaller than the diameter or minimum size of the cat litter, so as to prevent cat litter from falling into the sewer and causing blockage. The outlet of the sewage pipe 340 is connected to the sewer or the sewage storage tank 350.

[0050] like Figure 4 , 5 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, in order to ensure that the cat litter after flushing dries quickly and avoids the breeding of bacteria, a drying and disinfecting device 103 is provided on the body or casing, and the drying and disinfecting device 103 includes at least one of a fan 1031, a heating body 1032 and a disinfecting device 1033. In actual implementation, if the heating body 1032 is used in combination with the fan 1031, it is recommended that the heating body 1032 be placed at the front end of the fan 1031 to avoid the fan 1031 being heated to too high a temperature, which is easy to be damaged and causes safety hazards. The disinfection device 1033 mainly includes a disinfection ultraviolet lamp. When the above-mentioned flushing program is completed, the drying and disinfection device 103 starts to dry and disinfect the cat litter. For safety reasons, the program of the disinfection device 1033 is set to proceed after the drying program is completed, and the disinfection time must be controlled within 30 minutes. Furthermore, in order to ensure the safety of the cat, before starting the disinfection program, keep the fan 1031 working first, because cat urine has the habit of being afraid of the blowing of the fan 1031, which can avoid the hidden danger of the cat entering again and being harmed by the disinfection.

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, in order to achieve intelligent control, an automatic control unit is arranged on the body or casing, including a main control device 102 and an infrared detection device 1021, and the main control device 102 includes a main control board, an electrical system and its intelligent control system; the infrared detection device 1021 is arranged on the bracket assembly 100 at the cat entrance and exit close to the body. When the infrared detects that the cat has an entry and exit signal, the main control device 102 controls the actions of shoveling shit, flushing, crushing, draining and drying and disinfection respectively. For safety, a waterproof cover 104 is also arranged on the outside of the main control device 102.

[0052] Further understanding, a cat litter box automatic cleaning system and control method includes setting an infrared detection device 1021 on the bracket assembly 100, and executing the following steps when the infrared detection device 1021 detects that a cat enters the cat litter box 200 to defecate and then leaves the cat litter box 200:

[0053] For ease of understanding, the position where the poop scooping device moves to a side close to the cat litter box sewage outlet is defined as the end point, and the initial starting point of the poop scooping device is defined as the starting point.

[0054] Step 1, turn on the excrement shoveling mode, the excrement shoveling device 120 is in motion, the driving motor 122 drives the shoveling rake 121 to perform axial flipping motion, and the shoveling rake 121 moves from the starting point A to the end point B near the cat litter box sewage outlet 2001, and shovels the cat excrement into the sewage system 300;

[0055] Step 2, start the return mode of the feces shoveling device 120, drive the motor 122 to reverse, and the shovel rake 121 flips from the end point B to the starting point A;

[0056] Step 3, repeating the actions of step 1 and step 2 for greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 50 cycles;

[0057] Step 4, start the flushing mode, the water inlet valve 113 is actuated to open the water path, and high-pressure water is sprayed into the cat litter box 200 through the nozzle 115. To ensure the flushing effect, the flushing mode can be turned on at any time during the action period from step 1 to step 3;

[0058] Step 5: During the water spraying and rinsing process, the crushing mode is turned on, the crushing device 330 is activated, and the crushing motor 331 drives the crushing blade 332 to rotate to crush the cat feces and cat urine lumps;

[0059] Step 6, turn off the flushing mode and crushing mode, and keep steps 1 to 3 in working state;

[0060] Step 7: Start the drying and disinfection mode, and the fan 1031, the heating body 1032 and the disinfection device 1033 start working, and the operation lasts for a period of 1 to 250 minutes.

[0061] Step 8, turn off the drying and disinfection mode, the shovel rake 121 returns to the starting point A, stops moving, and enters the standby state.

[0062] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
