Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cat litter boxes, in particular to a cat litter box with a drying function. Background Art

[0002] At present, many families have pet cats, and cat litter boxes are one of the essential pet supplies. Traditional cat litter boxes need to be cleaned manually regularly, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also faces the double challenge of cat litter dust and cat excrement odor during the cleaning process. Therefore, some cat litter box products that can be cleaned automatically have appeared on the market.

[0003] In current technology, some self-cleaning electric cat litter boxes are designed with excrement collection systems that can automatically clean cat litter and store solid waste in containers. However, some cat litters only absorb a small amount of cat excrement and do not clump, so they cannot be screened out by the collection system. After long-term accumulation, this type of cat litter will increase the humidity of the cat litter as a whole and the entire space inside the cat litter box, which is not only very easy to produce odor, but may also breed bacteria, posing a potential threat to the health of pets and families.

[0004] To this end, the present application specifically proposes a cat litter box with a drying function to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a cat litter box with a drying function, which can dry the cat litter box in time to keep it dry and hygienic.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A cat litter box with a drying function comprises a base, a cylinder rotatably arranged on the top of the base, and also comprises: a hot air blower fixedly arranged on the base and located at the sealing end of the cylinder, the air outlet of the hot air blower being inserted into the inner cavity of the cylinder; an electric hinge fixedly arranged at the opening of the cylinder; a sealing plate assembly hingedly arranged on the electric hinge and used for sealing the opening of the cylinder when the hot air blower is working; and a humidity sensor arranged in the inner cavity of the cylinder.

[0008] Furthermore, a control panel is arranged in the base, and the hot air blower, electric hinge and humidity sensor are electrically connected to the control panel.

[0009] Furthermore, the blocking plate assembly includes a baffle hinged on the electric hinge, a shell arranged on the side of the baffle away from the cylinder, slots arranged on both sides of the inner cavity of the shell, air holes opened on the opposite sides of the shell and the hot air blower, and multiple filter assemblies inserted in parallel in the slots.

[0010] Furthermore, the filter assembly includes a wool filter mesh inserted in the slot closest to the cylinder, an odor adsorption mesh inserted in the slot farthest from the cylinder, and a dust filter mesh located between the wool filter mesh and the odor adsorption mesh.

[0011] Furthermore, the humidity sensor is covered with a protective shell on the outside, and the protective shell is provided with a detection hole.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are embodied in:

[0013] The utility model arranges a humidity sensor in the inner cavity of the cat litter box cylinder and arranges a hot air blower at the sealing end of the cylinder. When the measured value of the humidity sensor is greater than a preset high-level warning value, the hot air blower is triggered to blow hot air into the cylinder to dry the inner cavity of the cylinder, keep it dry and sanitary, and reduce odor and bacterial breeding. An electric hinge is arranged at the opening of the cylinder, and a sealing plate assembly is hinged on the electric hinge. When the hot air blower is working, the electric hinge drives the sealing plate assembly to seal the opening of the cylinder, thereby preventing the hot air blower from blowing cat hair and cat litter dust in the cylinder out of the opening of the cylinder.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the utility model provides a cat litter box with a drying function, comprising a base 1, a cylinder 2 rotatably arranged on the top of the base 1, and further comprising:

[0024] The hot air blower 3 is fixedly arranged on the base 1 and located at the sealing end of the cylinder 2, and the air outlet of the hot air blower 3 is inserted into the inner cavity of the cylinder 2;

[0025] An electric hinge 4 is fixedly arranged at the opening of the cylinder 2;

[0026] A blocking plate assembly 5 is hingedly arranged on the electric hinge 4 and is used to block the opening of the cylinder 2 when the hot air blower 3 is working;

[0027] The humidity sensor 6 is arranged in the inner cavity of the cylinder 2 .

[0028] When in use, the inner cavity of the cylinder 2 is used as a container for containing cat litter. The cylinder 2 is generally also integrated with a structure for automatically cleaning cat litter, which belongs to a relatively mature existing technology, so it is not described here. The humidity sensor 6 is used to monitor the overall humidity in the cylinder 2. When the humidity in the cylinder 2 is greater than the high warning value pre-set by the humidity sensor 6, the humidity sensor 6 triggers the hot air blower 3 and the electric hinge 4 at the same time, and the hot air blower 3 starts to blow hot air into the cylinder 2, and the electric hinge 4 drives the blocking plate assembly 5 to flip, so that the blocking plate assembly 5 blocks the opening of the cylinder 2, preventing the hot air blower 3 from blowing the cat hair and cat litter dust in the cylinder 2 out of the opening of the cylinder 2, so that the hot air will continue to circulate in the cylinder 2 until the measured value of the humidity sensor 6 is less than the pre-set low warning value, and the humidity sensor 6 sends a signal to stop the hot air blower 3, and at the same time, the electric hinge 4 drives the blocking plate assembly 5 to flip in the opposite direction, and no longer blocks the opening of the cylinder 2.

[0029] In one embodiment, a control panel is provided in the base 1, and the hot air blower 3, the electric hinge 4 and the humidity sensor 6 are electrically connected to the control panel. Since the humidity sensor 6 can only measure the humidity and cannot control the hot air blower 3 and the electric hinge 4 to work according to the measured humidity, the control panel is required as a signal conversion and control medium. When the humidity in the cylinder 2 is greater than the high warning value preset by the humidity sensor 6, the humidity sensor 6 sends a signal to the control panel, and the control panel drives the hot air blower 3 and the electric hinge 4 to work; when the measured value of the humidity sensor 6 is less than the preset low warning value, the humidity sensor 6 sends a signal to the control panel, and the control panel controls the hot air blower 3 to stop working and reverse the electric hinge 4.

[0030] In one embodiment, the blocking plate assembly 5 includes a baffle 51 hingedly arranged on the electric hinge 4, a shell 52 arranged on the side of the baffle 51 away from the cylinder 2, slots 53 arranged on both sides of the inner cavity of the shell 52, air holes 54 provided on the opposite side of the shell 52 and the hot air blower 3, and a plurality of filter mesh assemblies 55 inserted in parallel in the slots 53. With such a design, the wind blown into the cylinder 2 by the hot air blower 3 can overflow the cylinder 2 through the air holes 54 on the shell 52, ensuring that the gas in the cylinder 2 can circulate and preventing the hot air blower 3 from being unable to blow in hot air due to excessive air pressure in the cylinder 2; the filter mesh assembly 55 inserted in the slots 53 can filter the gas overflowing the cylinder 2, preventing the cat hair, cat litter dust and cat litter odor in the cylinder 2 from being taken out of the cylinder 2, and ensuring the cleanliness of the environment around the cylinder 2.

[0031] In one embodiment, the filter assembly 55 includes a wool filter mesh 551 inserted in the slot 53 closest to the cylinder 2, an odor adsorption mesh 552 inserted in the slot 53 farthest from the cylinder 2, and a dust filter mesh 553 located between the wool filter mesh 551 and the odor adsorption mesh 552. With this design, after the hot air blows through the inner cavity of the cylinder 2, it first contacts the wool filter mesh 551 to intercept and filter the cat hair in the cylinder 2, then contacts the dust filter mesh 553 to intercept and filter the cat litter dust in the cylinder 2, and finally contacts the odor adsorption mesh 552 to adsorb and filter the cat litter odor in the cylinder 2 to prevent the odor from escaping into the surrounding environment. After being used for a certain period of time, the wool filter mesh 551, the odor adsorption mesh 552 and the dust filter mesh 553 can be pulled out from the slot 53 for cleaning or replacement to ensure their filtering effect.

[0032] In one embodiment, the humidity sensor 6 is covered with a protective shell 7, and the protective shell 7 is provided with a detection hole 8. When the cylinder 2 automatically cleans the cat litter, the cylinder 2 rotates on the base 1, and the cat litter in the cylinder 2 contacts various places in the inner cavity of the cylinder 2, so the humidity sensor 6 disposed in the inner cavity of the cylinder 2 will inevitably contact the cat litter. By providing the protective shell 7, the humidity sensor 6 can be prevented from directly contacting the cat litter, thereby ensuring its measurement accuracy, and at the same time preventing the humidity sensor 6 from being damaged by the cat.

[0033] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.

[0034] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0035] In addition, "multiple" means more than two. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in the field can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by this utility model.
