[0050] The technical solution of the utility model is further explained below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0051] Embodiment 1

[0052] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment discloses an automatic cat litter box accessory 100, which can simplify the assembly and disassembly difficulty of the automatic cat litter box and reduce the maintenance cost and damage rate of the automatic cat litter box. The automatic cat litter box includes a host 200, and the automatic cat litter box accessory 100 includes a cantilever structure 1, a monitoring component 2, a control module 3 and a connection structure.

[0053] Among them, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A receiving cavity is formed in the cantilever structure 1; a monitoring component 2 is disposed on the cantilever structure 1, and the monitoring component 2 is configured to monitor the activities of the pet; a control module 3 is disposed in the receiving cavity, and the control module 3 is configured to control the opening and closing of the host 200 and the monitoring component 2; Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The connection structure includes a first electrical connector 41, a second electrical connector 42 and a plurality of connectors 43. The first electrical connector 41 is arranged on the cantilever structure 1 and is electrically connected to the control module 3. The second electrical connector 42 is arranged on the base 5 of the host 200 and is electrically connected to the host 200. The first electrical connector 41 and the second electrical connector 42 can be quickly detachably electrically connected. The connector 43 is used to detachably fasten the cantilever structure 1 to the base 5.

[0054] The automatic cat litter box accessory 100 provided in this embodiment sets the control module 3 for controlling the opening and closing of the host 200 and the monitoring component 2 on the cantilever structure 1, and the cantilever structure 1 is detachably connected to the host 200 through a connecting structure. Therefore, when repairing the control module 3 or the monitoring component 2, the user only needs to disassemble the cantilever structure 1, and there is no need to send the host 200 of the automatic cat litter box for repair, thereby reducing the maintenance cost of the automatic cat litter box. Since the control module 3 is electrically connected to the first electrical connector 41, and the host 200 is electrically connected to the second electrical connector 42, the electrical connection between the control module 3 and the host 200 can be achieved through the quick-release electrical connection between the first electrical connector 41 and the second electrical connector 42; since the cantilever structure 1 is fastened to the base 5 through the connecting piece 43, the user can assemble or disassemble the cantilever structure 1 and the host 200 only through the connecting piece 43, which simplifies the assembly and disassembly process of the control module 3 and the host 200, is easy for the user to operate, and the user will not touch the circuit during the installation and disassembly process, thereby reducing the damage rate of the automatic cat litter box.

[0055] Illustratively, in this embodiment, the monitoring component 2 includes a camera with photo and video recording functions, so that the user can monitor the activities of the pet near the automatic cat litter box in real time.

[0056] Optionally, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 ,and Figure 4 , several connecting members 43 include connecting member 1 431 and connecting member 2 432, the cantilever structure 1 is provided with a first through hole 11 and a second through hole 12, the base 5 is provided with a first connecting hole 51 and a second connecting hole 52, the first through hole 11 and the first connecting hole 51 both extend along the first direction, the connecting member 1 431 passes through the first through hole 11 and is connected to the first connecting hole 51, the second through hole 12 and the second connecting hole 52 both extend along the second direction, the connecting member 2 432 passes through the second through hole 12 and is connected to the second connecting hole 52, and the first direction and the second direction are arranged at an angle. In this way, the cantilever structure 1 can be fastened to the base 5 by the connecting member 1 431 along the first direction and by the connecting member 2 432 along the second direction, thereby improving the strength of the connection between the cantilever structure 1 and the base 5 and ensuring the stability of the installation of the cantilever structure 1.

[0057] Specifically, the connecting piece 431 includes a blocking portion 4311 and a fastening portion 4312 connected to each other. The first through hole 11 is a stepped hole. The cross-sectional size of the blocking portion 4311 is larger than the cross-sectional size of the fastening portion 4312. The diameter of the end of the first through hole 11 close to the first connecting hole 51 is smaller than the diameter of the end away from the first connecting hole 51, so that the fastening portion 4312 can pass through the first through hole 11 and connect to the first connecting hole 51. The blocking portion 4311 stops at the step surface of the first through hole 11. The connecting piece 432 includes a blocking portion 4321 and a fastening portion 4322 connected to each other. 4322, the second through hole 12 is a stepped hole, the cross-sectional size of the second blocking portion 4321 is larger than the cross-sectional size of the second fastening portion 4322, and the diameter of the second through hole 12 close to the second connecting hole 52 is smaller than the diameter of the end away from the second connecting hole 52, so that the second fastening portion 4322 can pass through the second through hole 12 and connect with the second connecting hole 52, and the second blocking portion 4321 stops at the step surface of the second through hole 12, thereby preventing the connecting member 43 from protruding from the surface of the cantilever structure 1, preventing the connecting member 43 from interfering with the rotation of the stool compartment 300 of the automatic cat litter box, and affecting the normal operation of the host 200.

[0058] Exemplarily, the connecting member 43 is a bolt, and the first connecting hole 51 and the second connecting hole 52 are provided with threads adapted to the bolt, so that the connecting member 43 is fastened to the first connecting hole 51 and the second connecting hole 52 by twisting, thereby reducing the difficulty of operation when the cantilever structure 1 is connected to the base 5. When the user disassembles the automatic cat litter box accessory 100, the user twists the connecting member 43 in the opposite direction to remove it from the first connecting hole 51 and the second connecting hole 52, and the cantilever structure 1 can be loosened from the base 5, which is convenient for the user to operate.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, the first through-hole 11 is arranged outside all the second through-holes 12, or the second through-hole 12 is arranged outside all the first through-holes 11. In another optional embodiment, the first through-holes 11 and the second through-holes 12 may also be arranged alternately, which can further improve the stability of the connection between the cantilever structure 1 and the base 5.

[0060] For example, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, two connecting members 1 431 and two connecting members 2 432 are provided. Correspondingly, the cantilever structure 1 is provided with two first through-holes 11 arranged at intervals and two second through-holes 12 arranged at intervals. The two second through-holes 12 are located between the two first through-holes 11. The base 5 is provided with two first connecting holes 51 corresponding to the positions of the first through-holes 11 and two second connecting holes 52 corresponding to the positions of the second through-holes 12. The first direction is Figure 3 The X direction in the second direction is Figure 3The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. The first connecting member 431 passes through the first through hole 11 along the first direction and is connected to the first connecting hole 51, and the second connecting member 432 passes through the second through hole 12 along the second direction and is connected to the second connecting hole 52, thereby fastening the cantilever structure 1 to the base 5 along the first direction and the second direction respectively.

[0061] Optionally, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first electrical connector 41 includes a conductive plug, the second electrical connector 42 includes a conductive socket, a mounting groove 53 is provided on the base 5, and the conductive socket is provided in the mounting groove 53. The first end of the cantilever structure 1 is rotatably provided with the monitoring component 2, and the second end of the cantilever structure 1 is provided with a connecting portion 13, and the conductive plug is provided on the connecting portion 13. The connecting portion 13 is inserted into the mounting groove 53 and is fastened to the inner wall of the mounting groove 53 through the connecting member 43. In this way, the displacement of the connecting portion 13 is limited by the inner wall of the mounting groove 53, thereby limiting the movement of the cantilever structure 1, and further ensuring the stability of the cantilever structure 1 after assembly. In addition, the setting of the mounting groove 53 provides a connection space for the fastening of the connecting member 43 and the setting of the conductive socket on the base 5.

[0062] The first end and the second end refer to the two ends of the cantilever structure 1. The monitoring component 2 is rotatably arranged on the cantilever structure 1, which is convenient for the user to check the activities of the pet at any time, and can also monitor the activities of the pet in a larger range around the automatic cat litter box, providing the user with a better use experience.

[0063] Preferably, see Figure 1 A first connecting ear 14 and a second connecting ear 15 are spaced apart at the first end of the cantilever structure 1. The monitoring component 2 is disposed between the first connecting ear 14 and the second connecting ear 15, and is rotatably connected to the first connecting ear 14 and the second connecting ear 15 to ensure the stability of the monitoring component 2 during rotation, and to prevent the monitoring component 2 from being damaged by collision with the cantilever structure 1.

[0064] In an optional embodiment, the monitoring component 2 is a drum-shaped camera, and the first connecting ear 14 and the second connecting ear 15 are curved; in another optional embodiment, the monitoring component 2 is a rectangular camera, and the first connecting ear 14 and the second connecting ear 15 are L-shaped structures. Therefore, as long as the shapes of the first connecting ear 14 and the second connecting ear 15 match the shapes of the monitoring component 2, the monitoring component 2 can be ensured to rotate smoothly.

[0065] In this embodiment, the conductive socket is disposed on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 53. When disassembling and assembling, only the operation of plugging and unplugging is required, which is simpler and can ensure good conductive contact. The first connection hole 51 is formed on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 53 and is located on the outer side of the conductive socket; the second connection hole 52 is formed on the side wall of the mounting groove 53.

[0066] In other embodiments, the positions of the conductive socket, the first connection hole 51 and the second connection hole 52 in the mounting groove 53 may be arranged according to actual needs. For example, the conductive socket may be arranged on the side wall of the mounting groove 53 and inserted by translation as long as it does not affect the use.

[0067] For example, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the side wall of the base 5 is a curved structure, so in order to adapt to the shape of the side wall of the base 5, the side wall of the mounting groove 53 is also curved. When the connecting portion 13 is connected to the mounting groove 53, the conductive plug will be plugged into the conductive socket on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 53, the connecting member 1 431 is fastened in the first connecting hole 51 on the bottom wall of the mounting groove 53, and the connecting member 2 432 is fastened in the second connecting hole 52 on the side wall of the mounting groove 53.

[0068] For example, in this embodiment, the conductive plug is a PIN plug, and the conductive socket is a PIN socket. The PIN connection has the characteristics of small size, convenient plugging and unplugging, strong adaptability, and the ability to pass a large current, making the electrical connection between the cantilever structure 1 and the base 5 more convenient, safer and more reliable. At the same time, when the PIN plug and the PIN socket are not connected, they are not conductive, ensuring the safety of the user when installing and removing the automatic cat litter box accessory 100.

[0069] Optionally, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The side wall of the installation groove 53 is provided with a support boss 531, and the connection part 13 is provided with a groove 131, and the support boss 531 is engaged with the groove 131. When the connection part 13 is inserted into the installation groove 53, the groove 131 is engaged with the support boss 531, and the support boss 531 cooperates with the groove 131 to limit the movement of the connection part 13 relative to the installation groove 53, ensuring that the connection part 13 and the installation groove 53 are plugged stably. At the same time, the support boss 531 cooperates with the groove 131 to play a positioning role in the insertion of the cantilever structure 1, avoiding the cantilever structure 1 and the base 5 from being misaligned when the connector 43 is installed and removed.

[0070] Optionally, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4A seal 532 is provided on the outer ring of the conductive socket in the mounting groove 53. The seal 532 is sealed and clamped between the connecting portion 13 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 53 to prevent water from entering the conductive socket, avoid malfunction of the automatic cat litter box, and ensure the safety of the automatic cat litter box when in use.

[0071] For example, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the sealing member 532 is a sealing gasket having the same size as the bottom wall of the mounting groove 53, and a first opening and a second opening are provided on the sealing gasket. The position of the first opening corresponds to the position of the first connecting hole 51 so that the connecting member 43 can pass through the first opening and connect to the first connecting hole 51, and the position of the second opening corresponds to the position of the conductive socket so that the conductive plug can pass through the second opening and be inserted into the conductive socket.

[0072] Optionally, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The base 5 is provided with a drainage groove 54, which is communicated with the mounting groove 53. The drainage groove 54 is used to drain the water in the mounting groove 53, so as to further prevent the automatic cat litter box from malfunctioning when it encounters water.

[0073] For example, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the present embodiment, the drainage groove 54 is a stepped groove, and its height close to one end of the mounting groove 53 is less than its height away from the other end of the mounting groove 53. When the connecting portion 13 is inserted into the mounting groove 53, the outer wall of the connecting portion 13 abuts against the stepped surface of the drainage groove 54, which can limit the movement of the connecting portion 13 relative to the mounting groove 53, thereby avoiding misalignment between the cantilever structure 1 and the base 5 when the connecting member 43 is installed and disassembled.

[0074] Preferably, in order to improve the drainage effect of the drainage groove 54 , the bottom wall of the drainage groove 54 may be set with a certain slope, and the height of the bottom wall of the drainage groove 54 close to the installation groove 53 is higher than the height of the bottom wall away from the installation groove 53 .

[0075] Optionally, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The cantilever structure 1 includes a first half shell 16 and a second half shell 17 that are detachably connected, and an accommodating cavity is defined between the first half shell 16 and the second half shell 17 to facilitate assembly and disassembly of the cantilever structure 1 during maintenance.

[0076] For example, Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the first half shell 16 is provided with a first mounting column 161, and the second half shell 17 is provided with a second mounting column 171 opposite to the first mounting column 161. The first mounting column 161 and the second mounting column 171 are fixed by a mounting member 172, so that the first half shell 16 and the second half shell 17 are detachably connected. The mounting member 172 is preferably a screw, and the first mounting column 161 and the second mounting column 171 are both hollow cylinders with threads on the inner surface, and are connected by threads, which is easy to operate.

[0077] Optionally, see Figure 5 The control module 3 includes a first control circuit board 31, which is electrically connected to the first electrical connector 41. A first connecting column 163 is provided on the first half shell 16 or the second half shell 17, and the first control circuit board 31 is fixed to the first connecting column 163 by a first fastener 173. With such a configuration, in later maintenance, it is only necessary to disassemble the first half shell 16 and the second half shell 17, and then disassemble the first control circuit board 31 for inspection.

[0078] Exemplarily, the first fastener 173 is a screw, and the first connecting column 163 is a hollow cylinder with a thread on the inner surface. The screw passes through the first control circuit board 31 and is tightened on the first connecting column 163. The insertion is simple and the connection strength is high. Furthermore, the first control circuit board 31 is preset with control programs for various functions of the automatic cat litter box. After the first electrical connector 41 and the second electrical connector 42 are quickly disconnected and electrically connected, the first control circuit board 31 can control the host 200 to perform corresponding functions according to the corresponding control program. In this embodiment, the first connecting column 163 is arranged on the first half shell 16.

[0079] Furthermore, the first control circuit board 31 can be remotely connected to a mobile device such as a user's mobile phone, and the user can send corresponding instructions to the first control circuit board 31 through the mobile phone to control the opening and closing of the host 200 and the monitoring component 2, so that the user can control the function of the automatic cat litter box and the shooting angle of the monitoring component 2 in real time as needed. At the same time, the video images collected by the monitoring component 2 can be remotely transmitted to the user's mobile phone, allowing the user to view the activities of the pet in real time.

[0080] Optionally, see Figure 5 and Figure 6The control module 3 further includes a second control circuit board 32 and a display component 33. The second control circuit board 32 is electrically connected to the display component 33 and the first control circuit board 31. The display component 33 is used to display the working state of the automatic cat litter box. The first half shell 16 or the second half shell 17 is provided with a second connecting column 164 and a third connecting column 165. The second control circuit board 32 is fixed to the second connecting column 164 by a second fastener 174, and the display component 33 is fixed to the third connecting column 165 by a third fastener 175. With such a configuration, the second control circuit board 32 and the display component 33 can be removed from the cantilever structure 1, which is convenient for later maintenance.

[0081] Specifically, the second control circuit board 32 is used to receive instructions from the display component 33, and convert the instructions into electrical signals and transmit them to the first control circuit board 31. The first control circuit board 31 is indirectly connected to the display component 33 through the second control circuit board 32, which can reduce the content controlled by the first control circuit board 31, reduce the production difficulty of the first control circuit board 31, and also facilitate the staff to quickly find the faulty parts during maintenance.
