Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to an automatic deodorizing and disinfecting intelligent cat litter box, belonging to the technical field of pet appliances. Background Art
[0002] Cat litter boxes, also commonly known as cat litter basins or cat litter trays, are one of the indispensable items in the daily life of pet cats. Its main purpose is to provide a clean and convenient toilet environment for cats. The main source of cat litter odor is not cat feces, but ammonia in cat urine. If ammonia-containing urine is not treated for a long time, it will produce a corrupt odor due to the influence of miscellaneous bacteria.
[0003] When using existing cat litter boxes, usually only tools can be used to shovel away cat feces and large pieces of cat litter adhered to urine. In areas where less cat litter is laid, it is still difficult to avoid urine residue at the bottom of the cat litter box that is difficult to handle and needs to be rinsed with clean water many times. Cat litter boxes made of cardboard cannot be cleaned with water, which causes the urine adhered to the bottom of the cat litter box to produce odor under the long-term influence of miscellaneous bacteria, making the entire cat litter box unusable. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an automatic deodorizing and disinfecting intelligent cat litter box, which solves the problem that urine on the bottom plate of a paper cat litter box in the prior art is difficult to remove.
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is achieved by adopting the following technical solutions: an automatic deodorizing and disinfecting intelligent cat litter box, comprising a box body,
[0006] Winding shafts are provided on both sides of the box body in the length direction, and auxiliary shafts are provided below the winding shafts close to the bottom plate of the box body. The winding shafts on one side are provided with a driving component, and a roll of cloth is sleeved on the winding shaft without the driving component. The end of the roll of cloth passes through the bottom of the auxiliary shaft and is wound around the winding shaft with the driving component, and the driving component is provided with a humidity detection module.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a layer of rolled cloth can be laid on the bottom plate of the box body, and the cat litter is not in direct contact with the bottom plate of the box body, which prevents the cat's urine from adhering to the bottom plate of the box body through the cat litter after defecation and is difficult to clean. At the same time, the rolled cloth with urine on it can be rolled up through the reel and the auxiliary rotating shaft after the cat defecates, and a new layer of rolled cloth can be automatically laid on the bottom plate of the box body without manual replacement, which is more intelligent and convenient. The reel is made of materials that can absorb cat urine, such as activated carbon, and can effectively remove the odor generated by urine.
[0008] The utility model is further configured as follows: a clamping plate is arranged on the inner wall of the longer side of the box body, and a gap greater than the thickness of the rolled cloth is left between the clamping plate and the bottom plate of the box body.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the rolled cloth is laid, both sides of the rolled cloth pass through the gap between the bottom plate of the box body and the card plate, so that the pet cat can be prevented from pulling the rolled cloth away from the bottom plate of the box body when using the cat litter box, and the cat litter can be prevented from leaking between the rolled cloth and the bottom plate of the box body, thereby improving the stability of the cat litter box.
[0010] The utility model is further configured as follows: an extension plate for covering the reeling shaft area is arranged on the box body, the extension plate can be folded and surrounded by the box body wall to form a cavity, and the reeling shaft is surrounded in the cavity.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the extension plate and the wall of the box body mutually enclose a cavity, and the cavity can isolate the reel from the area in the box body cavity where the cat litter is placed, thereby preventing the reel from being interfered with by the pet cat when it rotates. The folded end of the extension plate is inserted into the card slot on the card plate, so that a gap for the cloth to pass through is left between the edge of the end of the extension plate and the bottom plate of the box body where the cloth is laid. At the same time, the extension plate can prevent the cat litter from entering the cavity enclosed by the extension plate and the box body when the cloth is pulled by the reel, thereby ensuring that the reel and the drive assembly can operate stably.
[0012] The utility model is further configured as follows: the humidity detection module comprises a laser detection head, the laser detection head is arranged on the inner wall surface of the gap between the card plate and the bottom plate of the box body, and a laser receiving plate is arranged on the other side wall surface.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the humidity of the cloth roll can be monitored in real time through the laser detection module. The laser signal emitted by the laser detection head passes through the cloth roll and is received by the laser receiving board. When the pet cat defecates, the urine adheres to the cloth roll, causing the laser signal to change, thereby transmitting the signal to the drive component. The drive motor drives the reel to rotate, and the cloth roll with urine adhered to it is reeled in. At the same time, the subsequent clean cloth roll is pulled out from the reel and laid on the floor of the box. The whole process does not require manual operation, and the cloth roll can be automatically replaced. At the same time, by irradiating the cloth roll with laser, the cloth roll can be sterilized and disinfected.
[0014] The utility model is further configured as follows: the box body is made of paper material.

[0016] The utility model is further configured as follows: a waterproof layer is coated on the surface of the box body made of paper material.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a waterproof layer is coated on the surface of the box body, so that the box body can be used normally in a humid environment. When a small amount of urine is spilled on the inner wall of the box body, it can be removed by wiping with a small amount of water. At the same time, the waterproof layer can improve the compressive strength of the box body to a certain extent, so that the box body can withstand greater external force impact.
[0018] The utility model is further configured as follows: the driving assembly comprises a mounting block arranged on the inner wall of the box body, a driving motor is fixed via the mounting block, and a driving shaft of the driving motor is connected to the winding shaft.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, a drive motor is used for driving, and the drive shaft of the drive motor is directly connected to the winding shaft, which reduces the intermediate transmission link and improves the energy transfer efficiency. The direct drive mode makes the winding action faster and more accurate, and reduces the performance degradation caused by transmission loss. The drive motor is installed on the inner wall of the box body, which makes full use of the internal space of the box body and makes the overall structure more compact. It helps to reduce the overall size of the equipment and facilitates installation and use in a limited space. When replacing or repairing the drive motor, it can be quickly disassembled and installed, reducing maintenance time and cost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific illustrations.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, an automatic deodorizing and disinfecting smart cat litter box includes a box body 1, which is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped. The largest side is an opening. The maximum height of the box body 1 is one fifth of the width of the box body 1. The entire box body 1 is folded by a piece of cut cardboard, and the folding process is completed automatically by a machine.
[0028] The box body 1 is provided with a reel 2 on both sides in the length direction, and the reel 2 on one side is provided with a driving component 4. One end of the reel 2 is supported by a bearing, and the bearing is arranged on the two side walls of the box body 1, and the other end is connected to the driving component 4. An auxiliary shaft 3 is arranged below the reel 2 close to the bottom plate of the box body 1, and both ends of the auxiliary rotating shaft are rotatably fixed by bearings. A cloth roll 5 is sleeved on the reel 2 without the driving component 4. The end of the cloth roll 5 passes through the bottom of the auxiliary shaft 3 and is wound around the reel 2 with the driving component 4. A layer of cloth roll 5 is laid on the bottom plate of the box body 1, and the cat litter is not in direct contact with the bottom plate of the box body 1, which prevents the cat's urine from adhering to the bottom plate of the box body 1 through the cat litter after defecation and is difficult to clean. At the same time, the reel 2 and the auxiliary rotating shaft can be used to rewind the cloth roll 5 with urine adhered to it after the cat defecates, and a new layer of cloth roll 5 is automatically laid on the bottom plate of the box body 1 again, without the need for manual replacement, which is more intelligent and convenient.
[0029] The cloth roll 5 is made of a material that can absorb cat urine, such as activated carbon, and can effectively remove the odor produced by urine. Before installing the cloth roll 5, the cloth roll 5 can be soaked in soda water for a period of time and then dried, thereby increasing the absorption rate of the cloth roll 5 for ammonia in urine and greatly reducing the odor in the cat litter box.
[0030] The driving assembly 4 is provided with a humidity detection module 8 .
[0031] A clamping plate 6 is provided on the inner wall of the longer side of the box body 1, and a gap greater than the thickness of the cloth roll 5 is left between the clamping plate 6 and the bottom plate of the box body 1. When the cloth roll 5 is laid, the two sides of the cloth roll 5 pass through the gap between the bottom plate of the box body 1 and the clamping plate 6, so that the pet cat can be prevented from pulling the cloth roll 5 away from the bottom plate of the box body 1 when using the cat litter box, and the cat litter can be prevented from leaking between the cloth roll 5 and the bottom plate of the box body 1, thereby improving the stability of the cat litter box.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the box body 1 is provided with an extension plate 7 for covering the area of the reel 2, the extension plate 7 at the left end is in an open state, and the extension plate 7 at the right end is in a folded state, the extension plate 7 can be folded to form a cavity 9 with the wall of the box body 1, and a slot 601 for clamping the extension plate 7 is provided on the clamping plate 6, and the end of the folded extension plate 7 is clamped into the slot 601 on the clamping plate 6, which can prevent the extension plate 7 from shaking and causing the cavity 9 to collapse, and the reel 2 is surrounded in the cavity 9. The extension plate 7 and the box body 1 are an integral structure, and the two are cut out by a piece of cardboard and folded, and the extension plate 7 and the wall of the box body 1 mutually surround the cavity 9, and the cavity 9 can isolate the reel 2 from the area of the inner cavity of the box body 1 where cat litter is placed, thereby preventing the reel 2 from being interfered by the pet cat when rotating, and the cavity 9 can also effectively isolate the smell emitted by the rolled cloth 5 with urine attached, ensuring that the hygiene requirements of the box body 1 meet the standards.
[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, the driving assembly 4 includes a mounting block 401 arranged on the inner wall of the box body 1, and a motor slot for installing a driving motor 402 is provided on the mounting block 401. The driving motor 402 is fixed in the motor slot by bolts, and the driving shaft of the driving motor 402 is connected to the winding shaft 2, and the driving shaft and the winding shaft 2 are connected by a coupling.
[0034] like Figure 4 As shown: the humidity detection module 8 includes a laser detection head 801, and the number of laser distance measuring heads is at least three, which are equidistantly distributed on the inner wall surface of the gap between the card plate 6 and the bottom plate of the box body 1. Multiple laser distance measuring heads can expand the detection area and improve the detection sensitivity. At the same time, the intensity of the laser irradiated on the roll cloth 5 can be more uniform, which can play a better role in sterilization and disinfection. A laser receiving board 802 is set on the other side wall. The humidity of the roll cloth 5 can be monitored in real time through the laser detection module. The laser signal emitted by the laser detection head 801 passes through the roll cloth 5 and is received by the laser receiving board 802. When the pet cat defecates, urine adheres to the roll cloth 5, causing the laser signal to change, thereby transmitting the signal to the driving component 4, and the driving motor 402 drives the reel 2 to rotate, reeling the roll cloth 5 adhered with urine, and pulling the subsequent clean roll cloth 5 from the reel 2 and laying it on the floor of the box body 1. The whole process does not require manual operation, and the roll cloth 5 can be automatically replaced.
[0035] The box body 1 is made of paper material, and the paper material is made of cardboard with sufficient strength and hardness. The entire box body 1 is folded by an automated machine and can be disassembled for storage when not in use, thereby reducing storage space.
[0036] The surface of the box body 1 made of paper material is coated with a waterproof layer. The waterproof layer is coated on the surface of the box body 1, so that the box body 1 can be used normally in a humid environment. When a small amount of urine is spilled on the inner wall of the box body 1, it can be removed by wiping a small amount of water. The waterproof layer also has the effect of improving the smoothness of the surface of the box body 1, so that the box body 1 as a whole is not easy to adhere to cat hair and can better maintain dryness.
[0037] Working principle: by adding a proper amount of cat litter into the cat litter box, the cat litter contacts the roll cloth 5 but does not directly contact the bottom plate of the box body 1. After the cat defecates, most of the urine is absorbed by the cat litter, and a small amount of urine adheres to the roll cloth 5 through the cat litter, causing the humidity of the roll cloth 5 to increase. The humidity change of the roll cloth 5 is detected by the humidity detection module 8, so as to control the drive component 4 to drive the reel 2 to rotate, drag the roll cloth 5 for rewinding, and rewind the roll cloth 5 with urine adhered to the reel 2 on one side of the box body 1, while the clean roll cloth 5 sleeved on the reel 2 on the other side is taken out and laid on the bottom plate of the box body 1. During the rewinding process, due to the blocking effect of the extension plate 7, the cat litter will not be dragged by the roll cloth 5 into the inner cavity surrounded by the extension plate 7 and the wall of the box body 1. The rewinding and replacement process of the entire rewinding cloth 5 is completely intelligent and does not require manual operation.
[0038] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model, the utility model may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of protection claimed by the utility model.
