A base front guard plate and a base rear guard plate 19 may also be respectively arranged on the top of the front and rear sides of the base frame 18. The base body as a whole may be in a shape of low front and high back.

[0056] The support seat assembly 07 can be set at the bottom of the base frame 18. The support seat assembly 07 can include support legs that support the base frame 18, which are used to lift the base frame 18 to a certain thickness, so that there is a certain space at the bottom of the cat litter box for the recovery bin assembly 05 to be installed and used.

[0057] The recycling bin door 08 can be arranged on the top of the support base assembly 07, or on the bottom of the base bottom cover 16. Figure 2 As shown, the recycling bin door 08 is set on the top of the support base assembly 07 as an example. The recycling bin door 08 can be a door body, which can move to realize the opening and closing of the recycling bin door 08; or, the recycling bin door 08 can also include two door bodies, and the two door bodies can be relatively far away or close to each other. When the two door bodies are far away from each other, the recycling bin door 08 can be opened, and when the two door bodies are close to each other, the recycling bin door 08 can be closed.

[0058] The pedal assembly 06 can be disposed on the front side of the base frame 18 to facilitate the pet to enter the cat litter box through the pedal.

[0059] The working bin assembly 02 is disposed on the base assembly 01, and the working bin assembly 02 includes a working bin body and a cat litter scoop 10 disposed on the working bin body. The cat litter scoop 10 can be turned over to separate feces agglomerates from the working bin body. When the cat litter scoop 10 rotates to a preset position, the cat litter scoop 10 drives the working bin assembly 02 to turn over as a whole. For example, the cat litter scoop 10 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.

[0060] The handle assembly may include a left handle assembly 04 and a right handle assembly 03, and the left handle assembly 04 and the right handle assembly 03 may be respectively mounted on the base body (e.g., the base frame 18) at positions corresponding to the hinged working chamber assembly 02. The left handle assembly 04 and the right handle assembly 03 may be disassembled, and after the left handle assembly 04 and the right handle assembly 03 are disassembled, the working chamber assembly 02 may be removed from the base body for cleaning, etc.

[0061] The recovery bin assembly 05 is arranged on the base assembly 01, and the recovery bin assembly 05 is located below the recovery bin door 08. The recovery bin assembly 05 may include a recovery bin body and a handle arranged on the recovery bin body.

In addition, the opening at the top of the recovery bin body can fit the bottom of the recovery bin door 08, and the opening at the top of the recovery bin body can be blocked when the recovery bin door 08 is closed to prevent the feces agglomerates in the recovery bin body from emitting bad odors.

[0062] When the working bin assembly 02 is flipped to the set position, the recovery bin door 08 is opened to dump the cat litter or separated feces in the working bin body into the recovery bin assembly 05; after the feces are dumped, the recovery bin door 08 is closed to block the opening at the top of the recovery bin assembly 05.

[0063] The cat litter box has a movable cat litter scoop 10. By turning over the cat litter scoop 10, the cat litter box can better evenly bond, harden and separate feces and cat litter, and pour out feces agglomerates to the recovery bin assembly 05 under the action of the gravity vector, so as to separate feces agglomerates and cat litter, and prevent the odor in the recovery bin assembly 05 from volatilizing by closing the recovery bin door 08.

[0064] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG3 (1), the work chamber body includes a work chamber base 11, a work chamber bottom cover 15, and a gear. The base assembly 01 also includes a first drive mechanism. The first drive mechanism can be disposed on the base bottom cover 16, and the first drive mechanism can include a first drive motor 17 and a drive gear connected to the first drive motor 17.

[0065] A front guard plate 13 can be provided on the front side of the working chamber base 11. The cat litter scoop 10 is hinged on the working chamber base 11. In conjunction with FIG. 3 (3), the cat litter scoop 10 includes a cat litter scoop 10 body and hinged portions 102 respectively provided at both ends of the cat litter scoop 10 body. The working chamber base 11 is provided with two hinged holes respectively adapted to the two hinged portions 102.

[0066] The first driving motor 17 is connected to the gear 12 of the working bin body through a driving gear. The gear 12 of the working bin body is arranged on the working bin base 11. The gear 12 of the working bin body is respectively connected to the first driving mechanism and the cat litter scoop 10. The first driving mechanism drives the cat litter scoop 10 to flip through the gear 12 of the working bin body.

[0067] Specifically, when the first drive motor 17 is started, it can drive the driving gear to rotate, and then drive the gear 12 of the working bin body to rotate through the driving gear. The gear 12 of the working bin body drives the hinged part 102 at one end of the cat litter scoop 10 to rotate, thereby driving the cat litter scoop 10 to rotate.

[0068] The working chamber bottom cover 15 is sealed at the bottom opening of the working chamber base 11. Here, the working chamber bottom cover 15 is also a gourd-shaped structure. The working chamber base 11 is a frame with an opening at the bottom. The top of the working chamber bottom cover 15 is buckled at the opening at the bottom of the working chamber base 11. A non-woven fabric 14 can also be provided on the upper surface of the working chamber bottom cover 15. The non-woven fabric 14 can also be replaced as needed.

[0069] The cat litter scoop 10 is driven to flip in the working chamber body by the first driving mechanism to separate the cat litter from the feces agglomerates.

[0070] In some embodiments, in conjunction with FIG. 3 (3), a driving fulcrum is provided on the cat litter shovel 10, and in conjunction with FIG. 3 (2), a first limit fulcrum 231 and a second limit fulcrum 232 are provided on the working chamber base 11. The driving fulcrum does not refer to a single point, and similarly, the first limit fulcrum 231 and the second limit fulcrum 232 do not refer to a single point. The above description is only for the convenience of description. The preset position includes a first preset position and a second preset position.

[0071] When the cat litter scoop 10 is turned over to the first preset position, the fulcrum is driven to contact the first limit fulcrum 231 . When the cat litter scoop 10 is turned over to the second preset position, the fulcrum is driven to contact the second limit fulcrum 232 .

[0072] By driving the fulcrum to cooperate with the first limit fulcrum 231 and the second limit fulcrum 232, the cat litter shovel 10 is flipped to drive the entire working bin assembly 02 to flip, thereby realizing the dumping of separated feces agglomerates or cat litter, or smoothing the cat litter in the working bin assembly 02.

[0073] In some embodiments, the driving fulcrum is set on the protrusion of the cat litter scoop 10, and the working chamber base 11 has an arc groove, which can be a half-circular arc groove. The protrusion of the cat litter scoop 10 can be set at the hinge part 102 connected to the gear 12 of the working chamber body. The protrusion can rotate along the arc groove, and the end surfaces of the arc groove are the first limit fulcrum 231 and the second limit fulcrum 232 respectively.

[0074] When the cat litter scoop 10 is turned over in the first direction to the first preset position, the first outer side surface of the protrusion contacts the first limit support point 231, and when the cat litter scoop 10 is turned over in the second direction to the second preset position, the second outer side surface of the protrusion contacts the second limit support point 232; wherein the first reverse direction is opposite to the second reverse direction, and the first side surface is opposite to the second side surface. The design mode of matching the protrusion with the arc groove makes the structural design of the cat litter scoop 10 and the working chamber base 11 simpler.

[0075] In some embodiments, the side wall of the cat litter scoop 10 is provided with a separation hole 101 that penetrates the side wall of the cat litter scoop 10, that is, the cat litter scoop 10 can be basket-shaped, and a plurality of separation holes 101 are provided on the front and rear side walls of the cat litter scoop 10. The size of the separation holes 101 can allow cat litter to pass through, but feces agglomerates cannot pass through the separation holes 101. Therefore, when the cat litter scoop 10 is turned over in the working bin body, the cat litter and feces agglomerates are first shoveled into the cat litter scoop 10, and then as the cat litter scoop 10 continues to turn over, the cat litter scoop 10 tilts at a larger angle, and the cat litter in the working bin body can return to the working bin body through the separation holes 101, while the feces agglomerates remain in the cat litter scoop 10. The separation holes 101 on the side wall of the cat litter scoop 10 are used to achieve rapid separation of cat litter and feces agglomerates while the cat litter scoop 10 is turned over.

[0076] In some embodiments, the working chamber body further includes a cat litter partition 09, which is disposed on the top of the working chamber base 11. Figure 2 The cat litter partition 09 can be arranged at the rear side of the top of the working chamber base 11. And the cat litter partition 09 is inclined toward the inside of the working chamber base 11, such as Figure 5 As shown in the B view and the C view of FIG, the cat litter is blocked from entering the recovery bin assembly 05 when the feces are dumped. That is, the cat litter partition 09 can keep the cat litter in the working bin body when the feces are dumped, and prevent the cat litter and the feces from falling into the recovery bin assembly 05.

[0077] In some embodiments, the cat litter box further includes a second drive mechanism. The second drive mechanism may include a second drive motor 29 and a gear transmission mechanism connected to the second drive motor 29. Of course, other transmission mechanisms may also be used to connect to the second drive motor 29. This is only used as an example and does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the claims. The second drive mechanism may be disposed on the support seat assembly 07.

[0078] The second drive mechanism is connected to the recovery door 08 to drive the recovery door 08 to open and close. The second drive mechanism drives the recovery door 08 to open and close, so as to realize the automatic recovery of cat litter or the automatic recovery of feces agglomeration, and avoid the user manually opening or closing the recovery door 08.

[0079] In some embodiments, the cat litter box further includes a controller 28 and a plurality of inductive sensors, the plurality of inductive sensors are used to respectively detect the position of the working bin component 02, and send a first detection signal corresponding to the detection result to the controller 28, and the controller 28 sends a first type of control signal after receiving the corresponding first detection signal to control the action of the working bin component 02 and the recovery bin component 05. The position of the working bin component 02 is sensed by the plurality of inductive sensors, and then the coordinated action of the various structures of the cat litter box is controlled by the controller 28 to realize the automatic recovery of feces agglomeration, the automatic recovery of cat litter, or the smoothing of cat litter.

[0080] The plurality of inductive sensors include a first inductive sensor 25, a second inductive sensor 26 and a third sensor. The first inductive sensor 25, the second inductive sensor 26 and the third sensor can be respectively arranged on the work chamber base 11, and the first inductive sensor 25, the second inductive sensor 26 and the third sensor are arranged in sequence. Figure 2 The first inductive sensor 25, the second inductive sensor 26 and the third sensor are arranged on the same circular ring, and the axis of the circular ring is coaxial with the axis of the gear 12 of the working chamber body. The first inductive sensor 25 is close to the rear side of the working chamber base 11, the third inductive sensor 27 is close to the front side of the working chamber base 11, and the second inductive sensor 26 is close to the lower side of the working chamber base 11. The first inductive sensor 25, the second inductive sensor 26 and the third sensor can be, but are not limited to, inductive magnet sensors.

[0081] The cat litter box also includes a working bin position sensor 24, which can be set on the base assembly 01. As the working bin assembly 02 rotates, the relative positions of the first induction sensor 25, the second induction sensor 26 and the third sensor relative to the base assembly 01 may change. The working bin position sensor 24 can detect the positions of the first induction sensor 25, the second induction sensor 26 and the third sensor to determine the position of the working bin assembly 02.

[0082] The cat litter box also includes a recycling bin door 08 position sensor, which is used to detect the position of the recycling bin door 08 and send a second detection signal corresponding to the detection result to the controller 28. After receiving the second detection signal, the controller 28 sends a second type of control signal to control the opening and closing of the recycling bin door 08. The recycling bin door 08 position sensor is used to detect the position of the recycling bin door 08, and then the automatic opening and closing of the recycling bin door 08 is controlled by the controller 28.

[0083] The cat litter box also includes a control panel assembly 20, which is disposed on the base assembly 01. For example, the control panel assembly 20 can be disposed on the rear guard plate. The control panel assembly 20 has function buttons of the cat litter box, and the control panel assembly 20 is connected to the controller 28. The function buttons on the control panel assembly 20 can be used to select the function that the cat litter box wants to achieve, which is convenient for operation.

[0084] In order to clearly describe the embodiments of the present application, Figures 5 to 7 An exemplary description is given.

[0085] Specific, combined Figure 5 , steps to separate fecal agglomerates and cat litter:

[0086] The cat litter box is powered on, and the corresponding function button for separating feces clumps and cat litter on the control panel assembly 20 is pressed. The first drive motor 17 starts working, and the signal is fed back to the controller 28 through the controller 28 and the working bin position sensor 24 device, and the first drive motor 17 is controlled to drive the cat litter scoop 10 to rotate clockwise from the initial state to a certain angle, for example, 110°, to reach the "A view" state to separate feces clumps and cat litter. At the same time, the second drive motor 29 also receives the corresponding signal to drive the recovery bin door 08 to open. When the recovery bin door 08 is opened to a certain position (for example, fully opened), the recovery bin door 08 position sensor can detect the specific position of the recovery bin door 08, and feed back a signal, and the second drive motor 29 stops working. At this time, the "driving fulcrum" 22 in the cat litter shovel 10 is in contact with the first limit fulcrum 231 of the working bin assembly 02 and is subjected to force. The controller 28 and the working bin position sensor 24 send back signals to control the first drive motor 17 to continue to move and drive the working bin assembly 02 to rotate clockwise by a certain angle, such as 145°, to reach the "B view" state (during this stage of operation, the feces agglomerates and cat litter are gradually separated. At this time, the working bin position sensor 24 and the third sensing sensor 27 sense and send back signals, and the first drive motor 17 stops working, and the feces agglomerates fall into the recovery bin assembly 05 under the action of the gravity vector. After the feces agglomerates are dumped (for example, the dumping time of the feces agglomerates is set, and it can be considered that the feces agglomerates are dumped after the dumping time is over). After the feces are clumped and dumped), the controller 28 controls the first drive motor 17 to work in reverse. In combination with the above embodiment, the first drive motor 17 drives the cat litter scoop 10 to rotate 110° counterclockwise to reach the "C view" state. At this time, the driving fulcrum 22 in the cat litter scoop 10 contacts the second limit fulcrum 232 of the working bin assembly 02 and then drives the working bin assembly 02 to rotate 145° counterclockwise to reach the "D view" initial state. At this time, the working bin position sensor 24 and the first induction sensor 25 send back signals, and the first drive motor 17 stops working. At the same time, the second drive motor 29 receives the signal and drives the recovery bin door 08 to close. When the recovery bin door position sensor 30 receives the feedback signal, the second drive motor 29 stops working.

[0088] The cat litter box is powered on, and the corresponding cat litter pouring function button of the control panel assembly 20 is pressed. The first drive motor 17 starts working, and the signal is transmitted back to the controller 28 through the controller 28 and the working bin position sensor 24. The first drive motor 17 drives the cat litter shovel 10 to drive the working bin assembly 02 to rotate counterclockwise by a certain angle, such as 90°, from the initial state to reach the "E view" state. When the working bin position sensor 24 senses the second sensing sensor 26, the signal is transmitted back, and the first drive motor 17 stops working. At the same time, the second drive motor 29 receives the signal and drives the recovery bin door 08 to open. When the recovery bin door 08 opens to the set position, the recovery bin door position sensor 30 transmits a signal back to the controller 28, and the second drive motor 29 stops working. During this stage of operation, the cat litter is slowly flowed into the recovery bin assembly 05 under the action of gravity. After the cat litter is emptied, the controller 28 and the working bin position sensor 24 send back signals, and the first drive motor 17 drives the cat litter scoop 10 to rotate clockwise by a certain angle, such as 110°, to reach the "F view" state. At this time, the driving fulcrum 22 in the cat litter scoop 10 contacts the first limit fulcrum 231 of the working bin assembly 02 and then drives the working bin assembly 02 to rotate clockwise by a certain angle, such as 90°, to reach the "G view" state. At this time, the first drive motor 17 works in the reverse direction, and the driving fulcrum 22 in the cat litter scoop 10 is separated from the first limit fulcrum 231 of the working bin assembly 02. The controller 28 and the working bin position sensor 24 send back signals, and the first drive motor 17 drives the cat litter scoop 10 to rotate counterclockwise by 110° to reach the "H view" initial state. At this time, the working bin position sensor 24 and the first induction sensor 25 send back signals, and the first drive motor 17 stops working. At the same time, the second drive motor 29 receives the signal and drives the recovery bin door 08 to close. When the recycling bin door position sensor 30 receives the feedback signal, the second drive motor 29 stops working.

[0089] Combination Figure 7 , steps to smooth cat litter:

[0090] The cat litter box is powered on, and the corresponding cat litter smoothing function button of the control panel assembly 20 is pressed. The first drive motor 17 starts working, and the signal is sent back through the controller 28 and the working bin position sensor 24. The first drive motor 17 drives the cat litter scoop 10 to drive the working bin assembly 02 to rotate counterclockwise by a certain angle, such as 15°, from the initial state to reach the "I view" state. The first drive motor 17 works in the reverse direction again. At this time, the driving fulcrum 22 in the cat litter scoop 10 is separated from the second limit fulcrum 232 of the working bin assembly 02, and then continues to drive the cat litter scoop 10 to rotate clockwise by a certain angle. When the cat litter scoop 10 rotates to the specified position, the cat litter scoop 10 drives the working bin assembly 02 to rotate clockwise by 15° to reach the "J view" state. At this time, the driving fulcrum 22 in the cat litter scoop 10 contacts the first limit fulcrum 231 of the working bin assembly 02 and is subjected to force. The first drive motor 17 drives the working bin assembly 02 to rotate clockwise by a certain angle, such as 15°, to reach the "K view" state. At this time, the working bin position sensor 24 and the first induction sensor 25 send back signals, and the first drive motor 17 works counterclockwise, driving the fulcrum 22 in the cat litter scoop 10 to disengage from the first limit fulcrum 231 of the working bin assembly 02, and then drives the cat litter scoop 10 to rotate counterclockwise by a certain angle to reach the initial state of the "L view".

[0091] Of course, it is understandable that the specific rotation angles of the cat litter scoop 10 and the working bin assembly 02 can be set as needed, and this is only used as an example and does not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the claims.

[0092] A number of embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to these specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various variations and modifications to the embodiments based on the concept of the present invention, and these variations and modifications should all fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
