Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cat litter boxes, and in particular relates to a cat litter box with automatic cleaning and intelligent identification functions. Background Art

[0002] With the booming pet economy and people's increasing requirements for pet life quality, automatic cat litter boxes, as representative products of intelligence and automation, have received extensive attention and application in recent years. However, after an in-depth analysis of its technical details and actual application effects, the existing automatic cat litter boxes still have significant technical bottlenecks and room for improvement in multiple key performance indicators. These technical difficulties constitute an important driving force for the in-depth exploration and innovation of this invention.

[0003] ‌1. Cleaning efficiency and hygiene‌ Although the automatic cat litter boxes on the market have their own advantages in cleaning mechanism design, they generally face the dual challenges of cleaning efficiency and hygiene. On the one hand, the complex internal structure design and the physical characteristics of cat litter lead to blind spots and dead corners in the cleaning process, making it difficult to achieve comprehensive cleaning through simple mechanical movement. On the other hand, the sealing of the feces collection box and the rapid processing mechanism of excrement are not yet perfect, which can easily lead to the spread of odor and the growth of bacteria, posing a potential threat to the health environment of pets.

[0004] ‌Second, Safety Performance‌ Safety is the core element of automatic cat litter box design. However, existing products still have deficiencies in safety protection mechanisms. For example, cat litter boxes with drum or closed structures may pinch cats and pose a safety hazard to pets; inaccurate detection and recognition may directly activate the cleaning function and disturb cats that are defecating, causing stress to cats.

[0005] ‌3. Smart poop scooping technology and soft stool treatment‌ The smart poop shoveling technology of the automatic cat litter box is the key to achieving automated cleaning. However, existing technologies have obvious shortcomings in dealing with problems such as soft feces sticking together and cat litter waste. Traditional mechanical poop shoveling methods are difficult to effectively separate soft feces from cat litter, resulting in poor cleaning effects and high consumption of cat litter. In addition, for families with multiple cats, how to accurately identify and handle the excrement of each cat and achieve personalized cleaning and care is also a major challenge facing current technology.

[0006] In summary, existing automatic cat litter boxes have significant technical bottlenecks and room for improvement in terms of cleaning efficiency, safety, intelligent poop shoveling technology, and space optimization. Summary of the invention
