A limiting lens is also provided outside the PIR infrared sensor 21. A cat litter bin pad is provided at the bottom of the cat litter bin 2, and the limiting lens can limit the irradiation range of the PIR infrared sensor 21 to the cat litter bin pad and the area above it. In this embodiment, the PIR infrared sensor can feedback information to the control mainboard to start the drive motor to drive the cat litter bin to rotate after the cat enters the cat litter bin to defecate and leaves the cat litter bin for a period of time, which can effectively protect the cat's safety and prevent the cat from being pinched by the fully automatic litter box. Among them, the PIR (Passive Infrared) infrared sensor, also called the pyroelectric infrared sensor, is mainly made of a material with a high thermoelectric coefficient, such as lead zirconate titanate ceramics, lithium tantalate, triglycine titanium sulfate, etc. to make a detection element with a size of 2*1mm. One or two detection elements are installed in each detector, and the two detection elements are connected in series with reverse polarity to suppress the interference caused by the increase of their own temperature. The detection element converts the infrared radiation detected and received into a weak voltage signal, which is amplified by the field effect tube installed in the probe and outputted outward. In order to improve the detection sensitivity of the detector and increase the detection distance, a Fresnel lens is generally installed in front of the detector. The lens is made of transparent plastic. The upper and lower parts of the lens are divided into several equal parts to make a lens with a special optical system. It cooperates with the amplifier circuit to amplify the signal by more than 70 decibels, so that the action of people within a range of 10 to 20 meters can be measured. In this embodiment, the PIR infrared sensor is used to detect in real time whether the cat enters and leaves the cat litter bin.

When a cat falls into the feces dropping channel, the anti-pinch protection structure can be touched by the cat to trigger information feedback to the control main board to control the driving motor to stop rotating; the anti-pinch protection structure 12 includes a micro-motion sensor 13 and a trigger plate 14, and the micro-motion sensor 13 is arranged The outer surface of the cat litter box main body 1 is located in the feces drop channel 11, the trigger plate 14 is located outside the micro-sensor 13 and is fixedly connected to the cat litter box main body 1, the micro-sensor 13 and the trigger plate 14 are adapted to each other, and the micro-sensor 13 is feedback-connected to the control main board; a soft rubber sleeve 15 is also provided between the micro-sensor 13 and the trigger plate 14, the soft rubber sleeve 15 and the trigger plate 14 enclose a closed space, and the micro-sensor 13 is located in the closed space; a group of anti-pinch infrared detection sensors 16 are respectively provided at the opening and tail of the cat litter bin 2 of the cat litter box main body 1, and both groups of anti-pinch infrared detection sensors 16 are feedback-connected to the control main board. In this embodiment, when the fully automatic cat litter box starts working, the PIR infrared sensor illuminates the bottom area of ​​the cat litter bin, that is, the cat litter bin pad and the area above it in real time. If it is detected that a cat enters the cat litter bin and stays in the cat litter bin for more than 15 seconds, it is determined that the cat has defecated in the cat litter bin. When the PIR infrared sensor detects that the cat has left the cat litter bin for more than 5 seconds, it feeds back information to the control motherboard, and the control motherboard controls the drive motor to work and drive the cat litter bin to rotate. The cat litter falls into the temporary storage space for the cat litter through the filter net, and the cat feces falls into the feces channel through the cat litter bin and then falls into the feces collection bin. The user removes the feces collection bin regularly. Just clean up the cat feces; if the cat falls into the feces channel, it will touch the trigger plate and then touch the micro-motion sensor. The trigger information is fed back to the control main board to control the drive motor to stop rotating. When the anti-pinch infrared detection sensor scans the cat at the opening or tail of the cat litter bin, it will also feed back information to the control main board to control the drive motor to stop rotating. Or the drop detection infrared sensor detects that the cat falls into the feces collection bin, and it will also feed back information to the control main board to control the drive motor to stop rotating. If the drop detection infrared sensor detects that the amount of feces in the feces collection bin exceeds the set threshold, it will also send a reminder to the control main board to remind the user to clean it in time.
