Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cat litter boxes, in particular to an automatic cat litter box with flat sand. Background Art

[0002] A cat litter box is a container specifically used for cats to go to the toilet. It is usually a shallow basin-shaped container used to place cat litter for cats to excrete and bury feces. The purpose of the cat litter box is to provide a clean, comfortable and private environment for cats to meet their excretion needs.

[0003] At present, most cat owners still use ordinary litter boxes that require manual shoveling, and the most common shoveling cycle is one to two times a day. The main function of cat litter is to absorb cat urine and wrap cat feces, and combine with it to form a mass, which is convenient for the breeder to shovel it out. Therefore, cat litter is a consumable and will continue to decrease with use. Cats have the habit of burying excrement. After excretion, they will dig sand around the excrement to cover it. When the amount of cat litter in the cat litter box is small and there is a large height difference, the cat will easily dig through the cat litter with a smaller thickness in the process of burying the excrement, exposing the bottom of the cat litter box. In this way, if the cat defecates in the exposed part of the bottom of the cat litter box next time, the excrement will directly contact the cat litter box, which will cause great trouble for the breeder's subsequent cleaning and shoveling work. The current solution is to shake the litter box after each scoop to make the surface of the litter flat and reduce the possibility of the cat scratching through the litter as much as possible. However, this is not only time-consuming and laborious, but cats generally need to defecate many times a day. The breeder cannot clean and level the litter in time after each defecation, so the effect of this method is relatively limited.

[0004] To this end, the present application specifically proposes an automatic flat sand cat litter box 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 an automatic cat litter box, which can automatically level the cat litter after each excretion by the cat, so as to prevent the cat from scratching through the cat litter and directly excreting in the exposed part of the cat litter box.

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

[0007] An automatic cat litter box with flat sand comprises a box body for containing cat litter, a box cover hingedly arranged on the top of the box body, and an inlet and outlet opened on one side of the box body, and also comprises: a counterweight base arranged at the bottom of the box body; a vibration generator fixedly arranged at the bottom of the box body and located between the box body and the counterweight base; a flexible support connector arranged between the box body and the counterweight base, and used to provide support for the box body while allowing it to shake; an infrared sensor arranged at the inlet and outlet and electrically connected to the vibration generator.

[0008] Furthermore, the flexible support connector includes a first positioning column fixedly arranged at the four corners of the top surface of the counterweight base, a second positioning column fixedly arranged at the bottom of the box body corresponding to the first positioning column, and a spring inserted between the first positioning column and the second positioning column.

[0009] Furthermore, height-adjustable support feet are provided at the four corners of the counterweight base.

[0010] Furthermore, a dust suction assembly is fixedly provided on one side of the box body, and the dust suction assembly includes a flared air hood fixedly provided on the side wall of the box body, a fan connected to the flared air hood, and a dust filter provided at the air outlet of the fan, and air holes are provided at corresponding positions of the box body and the flared air hood.

[0011] Furthermore, a control panel is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the box body, and the control panel is electrically connected to the vibration generator, the infrared sensor and the fan.

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

[0013] The utility model arranges an infrared sensor at the entrance and exit and a vibration generator at the bottom of a box body, and takes the infrared sensor as a trigger condition when the cat enters and exits the box body. When the cat finishes excretion and leaves the box body each time, the infrared sensor triggers the vibration generator, and the vibration generator drives the box body to vibrate, so that the cat litter that is dug into different depths by the cat tends to be flat again during the vibration process, thereby reducing the probability of the cat digging through the cat litter; by arranging a counterweight base and a flexible support connector, the whole formed by the two provides good support for the box body, and allows it to vibrate with a certain amplitude, thereby preventing the box body from directly contacting the ground and causing displacement during the vibration process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] 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.

[0022] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model provides an automatic flat-litter cat litter box, comprising a box body 1 for containing cat litter, a box cover 2 hingedly arranged on the top of the box body 1, and an inlet and outlet 3 opened on one side of the box body 1, and also includes:

[0023] A counterweight base 4 is arranged at the bottom of the box body 1;

[0024] The vibration generator 5 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the box body 1 and located between the box body 1 and the counterweight base 4;

[0025] A flexible support connector 6 is provided between the box body 1 and the counterweight base 4, and is used to provide support for the box body 1 while allowing it to shake;

[0026] The infrared sensor 7 is disposed at the inlet and outlet 3 and is electrically connected to the vibration generator 5 .

[0027] When the cat passes through the entrance and exit 3 to defecate, the infrared sensor 7 arranged on the entrance and exit 3 will be triggered. Therefore, the cat will trigger the infrared sensor 7 twice for one defecation. According to this rule, the infrared sensor 7 is set so that whenever it is triggered twice, the infrared sensor 7 triggers the vibration generator 5. At this time, the cat is located outside the cat litter box, and the vibration generator 5 drives the entire box body 1 to vibrate. During the vibration process, the box body 1 drives the cat litter inside it to vibrate together, so that the top plane of the cat litter tends to be flat; the whole formed by the counterweight base 4 and the flexible support connector 6 provides support for the box body 1, while allowing it to vibrate with a certain amplitude, and at the same time ensures that the box body 1 will not be displaced during the vibration process, thereby ensuring its working stability.

[0028] In one embodiment, the flexible support connector 6 includes a first positioning column 61 fixedly arranged at the four corners of the top surface of the counterweight base 4, a second positioning column 62 fixedly arranged at the bottom of the box body 1 corresponding to the first positioning column 61, and a spring 63 inserted between the first positioning column 61 and the second positioning column 62. With this design, the first positioning column 61 and the second positioning column 62 simultaneously limit the spring 63, so that it can be relatively stably set at the required position to provide the required support for the box body 1. When the box body 1 is driven by the vibration generator 5 to vibrate together, the spring 63 can twist with the box body 1, providing support for the box body 1 while allowing it to vibrate with a certain amplitude.

[0029] In one embodiment, height-adjustable support feet 8 are provided at the four corners of the weighted base 4. With this design, when the placement surface of the cat litter box is uneven, the weighted base 4 can be placed horizontally by adjusting the height of each support foot 8, providing a good support surface for the box body 1 and ensuring the stability of the box body 1 during vibration.

[0030] In one embodiment, a dust collecting assembly 9 is fixedly provided on one side of the box 1, and the dust collecting assembly 9 includes an expanded air hood 91 fixedly provided on the side wall of the box 1, a fan 92 connected to the expanded air hood 91, and a dust filter 93 provided at the air outlet of the fan 92. Air holes 10 are provided at the corresponding parts of the box 1 and the expanded air hood 91. During the vibration of the box 1, the dust of the cat litter will diffuse and fill the entire box 1, and finally fall on the surface of the cat litter. During the cat's digging of the litter and the subsequent process of the breeder shoveling feces, the dust of the cat litter will diffuse again, causing great discomfort to the cat and the breeder. Therefore, by providing the dust collecting assembly 9, while the box 1 vibrates and flattens the litter, the fan 92 sucks the dust dispersed in the box 1 into the dust filter 93 through the air holes 10 and discharges the clean air, reducing the dust in the box 1, and greatly reducing the amount of dust inhaled by the cat in the subsequent excretion and the breeder when shoveling feces.

[0031] In one embodiment, a control board 11 is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the box body 1, and the control board 11 is electrically connected to the vibration generator 5, the infrared sensor 7 and the fan 92. In this design, when the infrared sensor 7 is triggered twice, an electrical signal is sent to the control board 11, and after receiving the electrical signal, the control board 11 simultaneously triggers the vibration generator 5 and the fan 92 to start working.

[0032] 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.

[0033] 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.

[0034] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or suggesting their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, "multiple" means more than two. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but they must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in the field to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the utility model.
