Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of pet cat litter boxes, and in particular to a pet cat litter box with a worm sand discharging mode and a method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, more people like to keep pets as life partners. However, as more and more people live in big cities, and in big cities they usually live in smaller and higher-rise commercial housing, they cannot provide pets with a wider space for activities. The excretion of pets will have a strong odor and affect public health. Therefore, when raising pet cats, pet litter boxes are usually used to solve the defecation problem of pet cats.

[0003] Currently, the smart pet litter boxes on the market are too expensive and their functions are not mature. They separate the clumping materials from the non-clumping materials in the cat litter by rotating the drum, or use a scraper to reciprocate along a specific trajectory to push the clumping materials in the cat litter to the feces collection box, which may result in unclean separation or damage to the clumping process. At the same time, smart cat litter boxes usually rely on mechanical devices such as motors to achieve the function of automatic feces shoveling, and feces shoveling must use filtering functional structural parts. If the product quality is not up to standard or the design has defects, it may cause cats to be pinched or scratched during use.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a pet cat litter box with a worm sand discharge mode and a method thereof to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

An intelligent purification module 4 is installed inside the cat litter box cabin 1. The intelligent purification module 4 is located on the right side of the worm-type sand outlet module 2. The intelligent purification module 4 includes a microwave radar sensor 43. A cat litter waste storage module 5 is installed inside the cat litter box cabin 1. The cat litter waste storage module 5 is located at the bottom of the conveyor-type cat litter cleaning module 3. The cat litter waste storage module 5 includes a waste storage cabin 51. A conveyor belt cleaning module 52 is arranged inside the waste storage cabin 51, and a capacity warning module 53 is installed on one side of the waste storage cabin 51.

[0033] Preferably, the intelligent purification module 4 may further include a pyroelectric infrared sensor 44 to replace the microwave radar sensor 43. Either one of the two can play the same role.

[0034] The conveyor belt cleaning module 52 filters debris from the conveyor belt 34 through a brush bar arranged on one side of the conveyor belt 34 , and makes the filtered debris fall into the waste storage compartment 51 .

[0035] The waste collection chamber 51 is arranged below or on one side of the conveyor belt 34 so that the cat litter waste on the conveyor belt 34 falls into it.

[0036] The storage condition in the waste storage compartment 51 is detected by a sensor, and if it is full, the user is promptly reminded.

[0037] The connecting motor 23 rotates its output shaft by supplying electricity, thereby providing kinetic energy to the worm 24. The worm 24 is coaxially arranged with the output shaft of the connecting motor 23 and rigidly connected for discharging grain.
