Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of animal equipment technology, and more specifically, relates to a recycling device for a cat litter box and a cat litter box. Background Technology
[0002] In related technologies, litter boxes typically employ a closed or semi-closed structure with a relatively high entrance, requiring cats to jump to enter. When cats enter or exit the litter box, litter adhering to their paws and abdomen is easily carried out and scattered on the ground, especially when the entrance is high, increasing the area of litter splatter and adding to the cleaning burden.
[0003] In addition, the overall size of the litter box recycling device in the relevant technology is relatively large, which is not conducive to packaging, storage and transportation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to improve or solve the technical problems of recycling devices in related technologies being inconvenient to use and inconvenient to recycle scattered cat litter, the purpose of this application is to provide a recycling device for cat litter boxes and a cat litter box.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, this application provides a litter box recycling device, comprising: A recycling bin; a recycling port is provided on one side of the recycling bin; A foot pedal; the foot pedal has multiple retraction holes extending through the thickness direction of the foot pedal; the foot pedal covers the retraction port; The litter box includes a storage mechanism; the storage mechanism is located in the litter box; the storage mechanism is connected to the recycling bin so that the recycling bin can be in a pull-out state or a stored state relative to the litter box.
[0006] In the above technical solution, a recycling port is set on one side of the recycling bin and covered by a foot pedal with multiple recycling holes through the thickness direction. When the cat steps on the pedal, the loose cat litter caught between its paws automatically falls into the recycling bin below through the recycling holes under the force of gravity and the pressure of stepping. The loose cat litter can be recycled without the user having to manually clean it. At the same time, the surface of the foot pedal is no different from an ordinary foot pedal, so it does not affect the cat's normal stepping and will not get its paws stuck. Furthermore, the recycling bin can be switched between a pulled-out state and a stored state through a storage mechanism. When pulled out, it is convenient for the user to clean up the clumps of cat litter in one go. When stored, the recycling bin is hidden in the litter box without taking up extra space and without affecting the aesthetics. Thus, the technical problems of existing recycling devices being too bulky and inconvenient to use and unable to effectively recycle loose cat litter are solved as a whole, achieving the goals of convenient use, thorough recycling, and a neat appearance.
[0007] Furthermore, the storage mechanism includes a connector; one end of the connector is rotatably connected to the recycling bin, and the other end of the connector is detachably slidably connected to the litter box. In the stored state, the other end of the connector is separated from the litter box; one end of the connector rotates around the recycling compartment to a first position so that the length direction of the connector is between the recycling compartment and the litter box; In the withdrawn state, one end of the connector rotates around the recycling chamber to a second position, so that the other end of the connector is detachably and slidably connected to the litter box.
[0008] In the above technical solution, a rotating-sliding composite connection between the recycling bin and the litter box is achieved through a connector. In the stored state, the connector rotates around the recycling bin to the first position, so that the length direction of the connector is between the recycling bin and the litter box. At this time, the other end of the connector is separated from the litter box, and the recycling bin is hidden inside the litter box, without occupying extra space and with a neat appearance. In the pulled-out state, the connector rotates around the recycling bin to the second position, so that the other end of the connector is detachably slidably connected to the litter box. Users only need to pull it out along the sliding direction to completely pull out the recycling bin. The operation is simple and the pulling path is clear. At the same time, the detachable design makes it easy to replace it individually, thereby realizing convenient switching of the recycling bin. This further solves the technical problems of cumbersome operation and inconvenient storage of existing recycling devices, resulting in the technical effects of extremely simple operation, concealed storage, and convenient disassembly and assembly.
[0009] Furthermore, the connector includes: The first rod; one end of the first rod is rotatably connected to one side of the recycling bin, and the other end of the first rod is detachably slidably connected to one side of the litter box; The second rod; one end of the second rod is rotatably connected to the other side of the recycling bin, and the other end of the second rod is detachably slidably connected to the other side of the litter box; one side of the recycling bin and the other side of the recycling bin are arranged opposite to each other; the first rod and the second rod can rotate around the recycling bin towards or away from each other; In the stored state, the first rod and the second rod rotate toward each other around the recycling bin to a first position, so that the length direction of the first rod and the length direction of the second rod are located between the recycling bin and the litter box; In the withdrawn state, the first rod and the second rod rotate in opposite directions around the recycling bin to a second position, so that the other end of the first rod is detachably and slidably connected to one side of the litter box, and the other end of the second rod is detachably and slidably connected to the other side of the litter box; One side of the litter box is positioned opposite the other side of the litter box.
[0010] In the above technical solution, by setting a first rod and a second rod on opposite sides of the recycling compartment, in the stored state, the first rod and the second rod rotate around the recycling compartment to the first position, and the length of both rods is folded between the recycling compartment and the litter box. The overall structure is compact, and the recycling compartment is completely hidden inside the litter box, without occupying extra space and with a clean appearance. In the pulled-out state, the first rod and the second rod rotate around the recycling compartment to the second position, and the two rods are detachably and slidably connected to the opposite sides of the litter box, forming a stable double-point support guide structure. This ensures that the recycling compartment is evenly stressed, does not shake or deviate during the pulling process, and the pulling path is smooth and stable. At the same time, both rods are detachable, making it easy to clean or replace them individually. Thus, through the linkage of "double rods folding towards each other for storage and unfolding and pulling out in opposite directions", the technical problems of insufficient stability of single rod connection and easy shaking during pulling are further solved, resulting in more concealed storage, more stable pulling out, more reliable operation, and more convenient assembly and disassembly.
[0011] Furthermore, the recycling device also includes a fixing mechanism; the fixing mechanism includes a slot; in the stored state, the body of the connector is used to engage with the slot.
[0012] In the above technical solution, by using the slot to engage with the body of the connector in the folded state, the recycling bin can be locked and positioned by the fixing mechanism after folding and storing, preventing the recycling bin from accidentally popping out or shifting due to collisions with the cat or external forces. This further solves the technical problems of unstable fixation and easy loosening after folding and storing, based on the folding and storing of the first and second rods, resulting in a technical effect of being stable and reliable after storage, less prone to accidental pop-out, and safer to use.
[0013] Furthermore, the litter box includes a waste collection basin; The other end of the first rod is used for a detachable sliding connection with the toilet bowl; The other end of the second rod is used for a detachable sliding connection with the toilet bowl; In the stored state, the first rod and the second rod rotate toward each other around the recycling bin to a first position, so that the length directions of the first rod and the second rod are located between the recycling bin and the toilet bowl; In the withdrawn state, the first rod and the second rod rotate in opposite directions around the collection chamber to a second position, so that the other end of the first rod is detachably and slidably connected to one side of the collection basin, and the other end of the second rod is detachably and slidably connected to the other side of the collection basin. One side of the toilet bowl is positioned opposite the other side of the toilet bowl.
[0014] In the above technical solution, the sliding connection object of the connector is clearly defined as the litter box rather than the entire litter box. Taking advantage of the fact that the litter box is usually a detachable component, the first rod and the second rod are detachably and slidably connected to the opposite sides of the litter box. In the storage state, the two rods are folded towards each other between the collection compartment and the litter box. In the extraction state, the two rods unfold back to back and slide to the sides of the litter box. This allows the extraction and storage of the collection compartment to be synchronized with the disassembly and assembly process of the litter box. When the user removes the litter box for cleaning, the collection compartment can be extracted simultaneously. When the litter box is put back in place, the collection compartment automatically retracts and returns to its original position without any additional steps. This further solves the technical problem of the fragmented operation process between the recycling device and the various components of the litter box, which is inconvenient to use. It produces the technical effect of synchronized disassembly and assembly process, coordinated linkage of components, and more convenient and efficient use.
[0015] Furthermore, the side of the foot pedal away from the recycling bin is tilted towards the entrance of the litter box, and the angle between the foot pedal and the horizontal plane is 10°-35°.
[0016] In the above technical solution, by tilting the side of the foot pedal away from the collection compartment towards the litter box inlet, and controlling the angle between it and the horizontal plane within the range of 10°-35°, the cat's feet naturally slope upwards as it walks from the litter box inlet towards the foot pedal. This conforms to the cat's walking habit of lifting its paws, preventing the front of its paws from being scraped by the edge of the foot pedal, thus preventing scattered litter from falling into the collection compartment smoothly through the collection hole. At the same time, the tilt angle guides the cat's paws to naturally lift up when leaving the foot pedal, reducing the amount of residual litter carried out of the foot pedal area. Thus, based on the foot pedal with collection hole, it further solves the technical problems of low litter collection efficiency and poor walking experience caused by the horizontal setting of the foot pedal. It produces the technical effects of guiding the litter to fall into the collection hole efficiently, improving the cat's walking comfort and safety, and reducing secondary litter scattering.
[0017] Furthermore, the surface of the pedal is provided with anti-slip stripes.
[0018] In the above technical solution, by setting anti-slip stripes on the surface of the foot pedal, the coefficient of friction between the pedal and the cat's paw is increased, making it less likely for the cat's paws to slip when walking, turning, or using the litter box on the tilted pedal. In particular, it effectively prevents the cat from slipping and falling due to slipping. At the same time, the anti-slip stripes can also scrape off residual cat litter from the cat's paws when it steps on the pedal, allowing more cat litter to fall into the recycling bin from the recycling hole. Thus, based on the tilted pedal, it further solves the technical problems of cats being unsteady when walking, having great safety hazards, and having low cat litter recycling rates due to the smoothness and tilt of the pedal. It produces the technical effects of improving the safety and stability of the cat when stepping on the pedal and increasing the amount of cat litter scraped off the paws to improve recycling efficiency.
[0019] Furthermore, the toilet bowl is a foldable toilet bowl.
[0020] The above technical solution, by setting the litter box as a foldable structure, allows users to completely fold and flatten the litter box along with the pulled-out recycling compartment when cleaning, greatly reducing the space occupied during storage and transportation. At the same time, combined with the aforementioned foldable storage design of the recycling compartment and connecting parts, the recycling compartment, connecting parts, and litter box are folded together, minimizing the overall storage volume. Thus, based on the linkage and pull-out design of the litter box, it further solves the technical problems of large volume and inconvenience of carrying and storing the various components of traditional cat litter boxes and recycling devices after storage, resulting in the technical effects of full-link foldable storage, high space utilization, portability and easy storage, and easier restoration of cleanliness after cleaning.
[0021] Furthermore, the litter box has a storage space; in the stored state, the recycling bin and the foot pedal are located within the storage space; in the pulled-out state, the recycling bin and the foot pedal are located outside the storage space.
[0022] In the above technical solution, a dedicated storage space is set up on the litter box. In the stored state, the recycling bin and the foot pedal are stored inside this space, so that the side recycling opening of the recycling bin is covered by the box body. The surface of the foot pedal is flush with or lower than the upper surface of the litter box, so the recycling device is completely invisible from the outside, and the whole is no different from an ordinary litter box. In the pulled-out state, the recycling bin and the foot pedal are pulled out from the storage space to the outside, restoring normal use. Thus, based on the aforementioned folding storage and linked pull-out, the technical problems of the recycling device being exposed and affecting the appearance, easy to accumulate dust, and inconvenient to store as a whole are further solved. The result is a neat and integrated appearance after storage, dust and dirt prevention, reasonable space utilization, and ready use after being taken out.
[0023] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a cat litter box, including the aforementioned recycling device.
[0024] This application provides a litter box recycling device and a litter box, which employs a recycling bin, a foot pedal, and a storage mechanism. A recycling port is provided on one side of the recycling bin, and the foot pedal covers the recycling port. The foot pedal has multiple recycling holes extending through its thickness, allowing litter to enter the recycling bin through the recycling holes when an animal steps on the foot pedal. The storage mechanism is connected to the recycling bin, which can be in a pulled-out or stored state relative to the litter box, thus allowing the recycling bin to switch between a used and unused state for convenient use. Therefore, this embodiment of the application stores the recycling bin when not in use, reducing the volume occupied by the recycling bin when not in use, facilitating use, and achieving the recycling of scattered litter through the recycling holes on the foot pedal.

In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0038] This application provides a recycling device 2 for a cat litter box 1, see below. Figures 1-7 As shown, it includes: a recycling bin 6, a foot pedal 4, and a storage mechanism; the recycling bin 6 has a recycling port 12 on one side; the foot pedal 4 has multiple recycling holes extending through the thickness direction of the foot pedal 4; the foot pedal 4 covers the recycling port 12; the storage mechanism is located on the litter box 1; the storage mechanism is used to connect with the recycling bin 6 so that the recycling bin 6 can be in a pulled-out state or a stored state relative to the litter box 1.
[0039] See Figures 1-7 As shown, the recycling device 2 of the litter box 1 is located directly in front of the litter box 1, and the recycling chamber 6 of the recycling device 2 is located directly in front of the litter box 1. The upper side of the recycling chamber 6 has a recycling opening 12; the recycling opening 12 is covered by a foot pedal 4. When the recycling chamber 6 of the recycling device 2 is in the withdrawn state, the recycling chamber 6 is pulled out of the litter box 1 through the storage mechanism, with the foot pedal 4 facing upwards; the foot pedal 4 can be a board with multiple recycling holes, such as a perforated board, a mesh board, etc.; the multiple recycling holes penetrate the board in the vertical direction, so that when there is litter on the surface of the foot pedal 4, the litter can enter the recycling chamber 6 through the recycling holes.
[0040] When the cat steps on the pedal 4 to enter the litter box 1, the litter on the cat's body and paws can be collected into the collection chamber 6 through the collection hole of the pedal 4, thus completing the collection of the litter.
[0041] When the recycling bin 6 of the recycling device 2 is not in use, it is in a retracted state and falls back into the litter box 1. Optionally, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 As shown, when the recycling bin 6 is retracted into the litter box 1, the foot pedal 4 is also retracted into the litter box 1.
[0042] Therefore, this embodiment employs a recycling bin 6, a foot pedal 4, and a storage mechanism. A recycling port 12 is provided on one side of the recycling bin 6, and the foot pedal 4 covers the recycling port 12. The foot pedal 4 has multiple recycling holes penetrating the thickness direction of the foot pedal 4, so that when an animal steps on the foot pedal 4, cat litter can enter the recycling bin 6 through the recycling holes for recycling. The storage mechanism is connected to the recycling bin 6, and the recycling bin 6 can be in a pulled-out state or a stored state relative to the cat litter box 1, thereby allowing the recycling bin 6 to switch between a used state and an unused state for convenient use. Thus, this embodiment stores the recycling bin 6 when not in use, reducing the volume occupied by the recycling bin 6 when not in use, facilitating use, and realizing the recycling of scattered cat litter through the recycling holes of the foot pedal 4.
[0043] In some embodiments, the storage mechanism includes a connector; one end of the connector is rotatably connected to the recycling bin 6, and the other end of the connector is detachably slidably connected to the litter box 1; in the stored state, the other end of the connector is separated from the litter box 1; one end of the connector rotates around the recycling bin 6 to a first position, such that the length direction of the connector is located between the recycling bin 6 and the litter box 1; in the withdrawn state, one end of the connector rotates around the recycling bin 6 to a second position, such that the other end of the connector is detachably slidably connected to the litter box 1.
[0044] The following explanation uses the connector, including the first rod 7, as an example. (See attached document.) Figure 4 As shown, the right end of the first rod 7 is rotatably connected to the recycling bin 6 via the rotating connecting part 5, and the left end of the first rod 7 is detachably slidably connected to the litter box 1.
[0045] In the stored state, the left end of the first rod 7 is separated from the litter box 1, and the right end of the first rod 7 rotates around the recycling chamber 6 in the X direction to the first position. The first position can be a position where the length direction of the first rod 7 is parallel to the left side of the recycling chamber 6, or a position where the left end of the first rod 7 contacts the recycling chamber 6. There is no limitation here, as long as the length direction of the connector is located between the recycling chamber 6 and the litter box 1.
[0046] During the process of switching from the storage state to the extraction state, the first lever 7 moves and unfolds along the Y direction. The right end of the first lever 7 rotates around the recycling compartment 6 to the second position. The second position can be a position where the right end of the first lever 7 is perpendicular to the left side of the recycling compartment 6, or a position where the left end of the first lever 7 is detachably and slidably connected to the litter box 1. There is no limitation here, as long as the left end of the first lever 7 can be detachably and slidably connected to the litter box 1.

[0049] In the stored state, the first rod 7 and the second rod 8 rotate toward each other in the X direction around the recycling bin 6 to the first position, so that the length direction of the first rod 7 and the length direction of the second rod 8 are located between the recycling bin 6 and the litter box 1.
[0050] In the withdrawn state, the first rod 7 and the second rod 8 rotate in opposite directions along the Y direction around the recycling chamber 6 to the second position, so that the left end of the first rod 7 is detachably and slidably connected to the upper side of the litter box 1, and the left end of the second rod 8 is detachably and slidably connected to the lower side of the litter box 1.

[0052] Optionally, the toilet bowl 3 is provided with placement slots 11 on the upper and lower sides respectively; The left end of the first rod 7 is used to place in the placement slot 11 on the upper side of the toilet bowl 3 and is detachably and slidably connected to the placement slot 11. When it is necessary to store the recycling bin 6, the left end of the first rod 7 can be taken out from the placement slot 11 and rotated to the first position for storage. Similarly, the left end of the second rod 8 is used to place in the placement slot 11 on the lower side of the toilet bowl 3 and is detachably and slidably connected to the placement slot 11. When it is necessary to store the recycling bin 6, the left end of the second rod 8 can be taken out from the placement slot 11 and rotated to the first position for storage.

[0057] To enhance the interaction between the animal's foot and the pedal 4, the surface of the pedal 4 is provided with anti-slip stripes.
[0058] To facilitate further reduction in size, the toilet bowl 3 is a foldable toilet bowl 3.
[0059] Furthermore, the litter box 1 is provided with a storage space; in the stored state, the recycling bin 6 and the foot pedal 4 are located inside the storage space; in the pulled-out state, the recycling bin 6 and the foot pedal 4 are located outside the storage space.
[0060] See Figure 7 As shown, the litter box 1 has a fixing mechanism 13 on the front side of the collection basin 3; the storage space is located below the fixing plate 16 of the fixing mechanism 13. The collection compartment 6 and the foot pedal 4 are located in the storage space when stored. When pulled out, the collection compartment 6 and the foot pedal 4 are pulled out from the storage space, making it convenient for the animal to use.
[0061] Secondly, this application provides a cat litter box 1, including the recycling device 2.
[0062] This application embodiment improves cat behavior when entering the litter box by incorporating an expandable pedal assembly, changing the cat's entry path from jumping to walking, thus reducing the difficulty of entry. Connecting the pedal to the litter box as a single unit allows both the pedal and the collection compartment to be stored inside the litter box, reducing the protrusion of external accessories and improving the litter box's appearance. This application embodiment also reduces litter carry-out by using a mesh structure in conjunction with a receiving container to achieve automatic separation and collection of litter during treading. Furthermore, by designing the litter box as a foldable structure, this application embodiment reduces the volume of the litter box when not in use. Finally, this application embodiment improves ease of use and maintenance, as the collection compartment is detachable for easy cleaning.
[0063] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
