Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cat litter boxes, in particular to a cat litter box which is easy to clean. Background Art

[0002] A cat litter box is a container used to hold cat litter and provide a suitable place for cats to defecate. When a cat needs to defecate, it will enter the litter box and defecate on the litter. Because cats have the habit of burying their excrement, after defecation, cats will dig up the cat litter around the excrement to bury it. The owner needs to regularly sift out the clumped excrement from the cat litter to ensure the cleanliness of the cat litter.

[0003] In the actual use of the cat litter box, due to the cat's habit of digging sand to bury excrement, the cat litter in the cat litter box is likely to be dug through, that is, the bottom of the cat litter box is directly exposed. At this time, if the cat defecates directly on the exposed bottom of the cat litter box, the excrement will stick to the bottom. In addition, when the cat defecates on the edge of the cat litter box, it is also very easy to cause the excrement to stick to the edge and the bottom, which is extremely difficult to clean directly with a cat litter shovel. After long-term accumulation, it will breed bacteria and produce a strong odor. The owner needs to regularly pour out the cat litter in the cat litter box and scrub and disinfect the cat litter box.

[0004] In the process of pouring out cat litter and scrubbing and disinfecting the existing cat litter box, it is necessary to first find a container of suitable size at home, then lift the entire cat litter box and pour the cat litter into the container, then scrub and disinfect the emptied cat litter box, and finally pour the cat litter in the container back into the cat litter box. In addition, since the container has its normal use, it is necessary to rinse and disinfect the container. The whole process is time-consuming and laborious, and some families may find it difficult to find a container that can temporarily hold cat litter, so it is troublesome to clean the sticky excrement in the cat litter box.

[0005] To this end, the present application specifically proposes a cat litter box that is easy to clean to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] 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.

[0030] like Figure 1-10 As shown, the utility model provides a cat litter box that is easy to clean, including a shell 1, handles 2 fixedly arranged on both sides of the shell 1, and also includes:

[0031] The bottom plate assembly 3 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the housing 1, and comprises a first cone bucket 31 fixedly arranged at the bottom of the housing 1, a first sand outlet 32 ​​fixedly arranged at the bottom of the first cone bucket 31, and a first sand retaining plate 33 covering the top of the first sand outlet 32;

[0032] A conical cover plate assembly 4 is detachably hingedly arranged on the top of the housing 1;

[0033] The hinged member 5 is fixedly arranged on one side of the top of the housing 1 and is used for installing the conical cover plate assembly 4 .

[0034] In normal use, the bottom plate assembly 3 serves as the bottom plate of the shell 1 for holding cat litter, and the conical cover assembly 4 serves as the upper cover of the shell 1. It is in a covered state under normal conditions. When the owner needs to clean the cat litter, the conical cover assembly 4 can be opened around the hinge 5 to clean the cat litter. When the cat litter needs to be poured out and the shell 1 and the bottom plate assembly 3 need to be scrubbed and disinfected, the conical cover assembly 4 can be removed from the shell 1 and placed on the ground, and the shell 1 together with the bottom plate assembly 3 can be placed on the top of the conical cover assembly 4, the first sand baffle 33 is opened, and the second sand baffle 33 is opened. The cat litter above the cone bucket 31 automatically falls into the conical cover assembly 4 under the action of its own gravity. At this time, the conical cover assembly 4 is used as a temporary container for holding the cat litter, so that the cat litter can be temporarily held without having to find an additional container for holding the cat litter, which is convenient for use. After the cat litter box shell 1 and the bottom plate assembly 3 are scrubbed and disinfected, the cat litter in the conical cover assembly 4 is poured back into the shell 1, and the conical cover assembly 4 is installed back to its original position. The shell 1, the bottom plate assembly 3 and the conical cover assembly 4 can continue to be used normally as a common cat litter box.

[0035] In one embodiment, a handle 6 is fixedly provided on the top of the first sand retaining plate 33. This design facilitates lifting the first sand retaining plate 33 by the handle 6.

[0036] In one embodiment, the height of the bottom end of the first sand outlet 32 ​​is not lower than the bottom end of the housing 1. With this design, when the housing 1 is placed on the ground, the bottom edge of the housing 1 can be in good contact with the ground, while the first sand outlet 32 ​​does not necessarily contact the ground, thereby ensuring the stability of the housing 1.

[0037] In one embodiment, the conical cover plate assembly 4 includes a second cone bucket 41, a second sand outlet 42 fixedly arranged at the bottom of the second cone bucket 41, a second sand retaining plate 43 covering the top of the second sand outlet 42, a skirt 44 fixedly arranged around the second cone bucket 41 for buckling the top edge of the shell 1, and a supporting foot 45 fixedly arranged at the bottom of the second cone bucket 41.

[0038] With this design, when the conical cover assembly 4 is covered on the top of the shell body 1, the skirt 44 is buckled with the top edge of the shell body 1 to ensure the stability of the conical cover assembly 4 and the shell body 1; when the conical cover assembly 4 is removed from the shell body 1 and used as a temporary container for holding cat litter, the supporting feet 45 enable it to have good contact with the ground, ensuring that the conical cover assembly 4 is firmly supported to prevent it from tipping over; after the cat litter box shell body 1 and the bottom plate assembly 3 are scrubbed and disinfected, when the conical cover assembly 4 containing the cat litter is put back in place, the second sand baffle 43 is opened, and the cat litter in the second cone bucket 41 passes through the second sand outlet 42 under the action of its own gravity and falls onto the bottom plate assembly 3 of the shell body 1, thereby realizing the reversal of the cat litter, which is easy to operate and saves time and effort.

[0039] In one embodiment, a placement frame 7 for clamping the bottom edge of the housing 1 is fixedly provided on the top of the second cone bucket 41. Since the outer surface of the second cone bucket 41 is a cone, it is difficult to place the housing 1 together with the bottom plate assembly 3 directly on the second cone bucket 41 stably, and it is easy to tip over. Therefore, the placement frame 7 is provided to provide a stable placement platform for the housing 1 to be placed on the second cone bucket 41 to prevent it from tipping over.

[0040] In one embodiment, the height of the bottom end of the second sand outlet 42 is not lower than the bottom end of the support foot 45. With this design, when the conical cover plate assembly 4 is placed on the ground, the support foot 45 can be in good contact with the ground, while the second sand outlet 42 is not necessarily in contact with the ground, thereby ensuring the stability of the conical cover plate assembly 4.

[0041] In one embodiment, the hinged member 5 includes a hinged shaft 51 fixedly arranged at the edge of the conical cover assembly 4 and an elastic buckle 52 fixedly arranged at the edge of the housing 1 corresponding to the hinged shaft 51, and the hinged shaft 51 is engaged with the elastic buckle 52. In this design, the hinged shaft 51 is engaged in the elastic buckle 52, so that the conical cover assembly 4 is hingedly installed; the hinged shaft 51 is pulled out from the elastic buckle 52, so that the conical cover assembly 4 is disassembled, and the disassembly and assembly are convenient.

[0042] 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.
