[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a buffer structure of a cat litter box includes an elastic buffer device 1, which is arranged on the side wall of the cat litter box 2 near the outlet end;

[0032] A baffle plate 3 is movably arranged on the side wall of the cat litter box 2, and the baffle plate 3 and the elastic buffer device 1 are arranged opposite to each other;

[0033] The cat litter box 2 is also provided with a moving device 21, the baffle 3 is arranged on the moving device 21, and the cleaning grille 22 is movably arranged in the cat litter box 2 through the moving device 21, so that: when the cleaning grille 22 is pulled outward, the moving device 21 and the baffle 3 move synchronously until the baffle 3 and the elastic buffer device 1 contact each other, driving the moving device 21 and the cleaning grille 22 to decelerate.

[0034] The present invention discloses a buffer structure of a cat litter box, which can reduce the amount of cat litter brought out when the cleaning grille 22 is pulled. Specifically, a buffer structure of the cat litter box is added on the side wall of the cat litter box 2, and the buffer structure has the functions of buffering and resetting. A baffle 3 is provided on the moving device 21 on the side wall of the cat litter box 2. The elastic buffer device 1 and the baffle 3 cooperate to play a buffering role in the process of pulling out the cleaning grille 22 and the moving device 21, which can effectively make the cleaning grille 22 move slowly at the end stroke, thereby reducing the amount of cat litter brought out.

[0035] Furthermore, the elastic buffer device 1 includes an elastic member (not shown in the figure), a mounting portion 11 and a stopper 12, the mounting portion 11 is arranged on the side wall of the cat litter box 2, the elastic member is arranged on the mounting portion 11, one end of the stopper 12 is connected to the elastic member, and the other end thereof is used to abut against the baffle 3 when the baffle 3 moves.

[0036] When the mobile device 21 moves, the baffle 3 connected thereto collides with the stopper 12 on the elastic buffer device 1, which can effectively slow down the movement of the mobile device 21. Since the elastic member at one end of the elastic buffer device 1 has an elastic buffering effect, when the baffle 3 moves toward the stopper 12 with the mobile device 21 until the two are in contact, the impact force when the baffle 3 and the stopper 12 collide is offset by the elastic deformation of the elastic member. Therefore, the movement speed of the baffle 3 can be slowed down. Since the stopper 12 is arranged on the mobile device 21, the movement speed of the mobile device 21 is also slowed down, so that the cat litter brought out by the cleaning grille 22 when the cleaned pet feces or other waste is pulled out is reduced.

[0037] Furthermore, the mounting portion 11 is a hollow cylindrical structure, the elastic member is arranged inside the mounting portion 11, and a movable hole is opened at one end of the mounting portion 11, and the elastic buffer device 1 also includes a push rod 13, one end of the push rod 13 is connected to the elastic member, and the other end thereof passes through the outside of the movable hole and is connected to the stop block 12.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, the elastic member of the present invention is arranged inside the cylindrical mounting portion 11, which can prevent the elastic member from being excessively deformed or displaced. The elastic member is connected to the block 12 through the push rod 13. The length of the elastic buffer device 1 is extended by the setting of the push rod 13. In this way, the buffer distance between the block 12 and the moving device 21 is increased, and the amount of cat litter brought out is further reduced. In actual production, the diameter of the movable hole is generally set slightly larger than the outer diameter of the push rod 13 to facilitate the free movement of the push rod 13. The block 12 can be cylindrical, cubic or other shapes, as long as it can meet the requirement of having a large contact area with the baffle 3.

[0039] Furthermore, the elastic member is a spring. The spring is a good elastic part, which has the advantages of easy deformation and high elasticity, can play a good buffering role, and has low cost and long service life, which is conducive to the industrial production of the buffer structure of the cat litter box.

[0040] Furthermore, the baffle 3 includes a first connecting plate 31, a second connecting plate 32, a third connecting plate 33 and a fourth connecting plate 34, the first connecting plate 31 extends horizontally to one side, and its end extends vertically downward to form the second connecting plate 32, the end of the second connecting plate 32 extends horizontally inward to form the third connecting plate 33, and the side wall of the third connecting plate 33 extends vertically downward to form the fourth connecting plate 34, and the fourth connecting plate 34 is arranged opposite to the elastic buffer device 1.

[0041] like Figure 4 As shown, the baffle 3 is composed of four connecting plates, namely a first connecting plate 31, a second connecting plate 32, a third connecting plate 33 and a fourth connecting plate 34. The first connecting plate 31 is fixed to the side wall of the cat litter box 2 by bolts; the third connecting plate 33 is arranged toward the inside, so that the elastic buffer device 1 can utilize the original structure and position without occupying a large installation area; the fourth connecting plate 34 is arranged opposite to the stopper 12, and when the baffle 3 moves outward with the moving device 21, the fourth connecting plate 34 and the stopper 12 can be in good contact.

[0042] In addition, the utility model also proposes a cat litter box 2, wherein at least one side wall of the cat litter box 2 is provided with a buffer structure of the cat litter box as described in any one of the above items. In this embodiment, the buffer structure of the cat litter box can be provided on one side of the cat litter box 2, or on both sides. The latter has a better balancing effect and can better reduce the amount of cat litter carried out. The cat litter box 2 uses any of the buffer structures of the cat litter boxes described above, that is, the cat litter box 2 has the same beneficial effects as the buffer structures of the cat litter boxes described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0043] Furthermore, a mounting frame 4 is provided on the side wall of the cat litter box 2, and a mounting space 41 is provided in the mounting frame 4. One end of the elastic buffer device 1 is fixed in the mounting space 41 of the mounting frame 4 through a plurality of fixing devices 5, and the other end thereof extends to the outside of the mounting frame 4.

[0044] The elastic buffer device 1 is installed on the mounting frame 4. The mounting frame 4 is a semi-enclosed structure, which is usually formed integrally with the outer shell of the cat litter box 2. It has an opening facing the outside of the cat litter box 2. The interior of the mounting frame 4 has an approximately rectangular mounting space 41. The side projection of the elastic buffer device 1 is also rectangular, and it can be relatively stably installed in the mounting space 41. The top rod 13 of the elastic buffer device 1 extends to the outside of the mounting frame 4 through the notch at the end of the mounting frame 4. Since the elastic buffer device 1 needs to withstand a large impact force, in addition to the mounting frame 4, a fixing device 5 is also provided for fixing the elastic buffer device 1.

[0045] Furthermore, the fixing device 5 includes a connecting column 51, a fixing plate 52 and a screw 53. The connecting column 51 is arranged on the outer wall of the cat litter box 2, and the connecting column 51 is located on one side of the mounting frame 4. The fixing plate 52 is installed on the connecting column 51 through the screw 53. The side wall of the mounting frame 4 is provided with an avoidance groove 43. One end of the fixing plate 52 passes through the avoidance groove 43 and extends into the mounting space 41, so that the inner wall of the fixing plate 52 abuts against the elastic buffer device 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, the elastic buffer device 1 is fixed by two fixing devices 5, and the connection stability is better. The fixing device 5 mainly includes a connecting column 51 and a screw 53. The screw 53 is inserted into the connecting column 51, and the screw 53 clamps the fixing plate 52 so that it is firmly fixed on the connecting column 51. The fixing plate 52 extends into the interior of the mounting frame 4, so that the inner wall of the fixing plate 52 abuts against the outer wall of the mounting portion 11, thereby ensuring the stability of the elastic buffer device 1 when it contacts the baffle 3.

[0047] Furthermore, the inner wall of the mounting frame 4 is also provided with a plurality of limiting plates 42 for limiting the elastic buffer device 1. In order to further ensure the installation stability of the elastic buffer device 1, a plurality of limiting plates 42 are extended from the inner wall of the mounting frame 4, and the limiting plates 42 can contact with the mounting portion 11 of the elastic buffer device 1, or be relatively close to the mounting portion 11, so that when the elastic buffer device 1 is impacted by the baffle 3, the elastic buffer device 1 can be firmly fixed in the mounting frame 4 and will not be easily displaced.

[0048] Furthermore, the cleaning grille 22 includes a connecting piece 211, a slide groove 212 and a slide rod 213, the slide groove 212 is horizontally arranged on the side wall of the cat litter box 2, the slide rod 213 is movably arranged in the slide groove 212, the connecting piece 211 and the baffle 3 are both arranged on the outer wall of the slide rod 213, and the connecting piece 211 and the baffle 3 are located at one end of the slide rod 213 away from the outlet end of the cat litter box 2, and the cleaning grille 22 is connected to the connecting piece 211.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, in the initial state, the slide bar 213 of the moving device 21 is pulled by hand, and the slide bar 213 moves in the slide slot 212 to the position shown in FIG. Figure 2 When the baffle plate 3 on the slide bar 213 hits the stopper 12 on the elastic buffer device 1, the moving speed of the moving device 21 slows down under the buffering effect of the elastic buffer device 1, and the stopper 12 of the elastic buffer device 1 also moves backward synchronously. Figure 3 When the cleaning grid 22 is in the position shown, the feces or other waste in the cat litter can be taken out; then the slide bar 213 is pushed in the reverse direction until all parts of the moving device 21 and the elastic buffer device 1 are restored to the Figure 1 In the initial state shown, during this process, since the elastic member of the elastic buffer device 1 has a self-resetting function, all the blocks 12 can also reset themselves.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
