[0002] As people's living standards improve, more and more people are keeping pets for companionship, with cats being the top choice for many. To quickly clean up cat feces and urine, cat litter was developed. Cat litter is something owners use to bury their cats' feces and urine, and it's usually used in conjunction with a litter box. The litter is poured into the litter box, and a trained cat will enter the litter box and defecate on the litter. The litter box is mainly used as a toilet for pet cats, making it easy to clean up after them. Therefore, for pet owners, a litter box is indispensable, leading to continuous innovation and development in the field.

[0003] Currently, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN215684048U discloses a cat litter box that is easy to assemble and disassemble, including a base, a front plate, a rear plate, a side plate, and a top cover. The top outer diameter of the base is provided with four sets of slots, and each of the four corners of the top of the base is provided with a first limiting plate. The bottom of the front plate, the rear plate, and the side plate are all provided with a set of buckles. The left and right ends of the upper side of the front plate and the left and right ends of the upper side of the rear plate are all fixedly connected with storage slots. The inner wall of the opposite side of the storage slot is provided with a connecting plate, and the opposite side of the connecting plate is provided with a locking post and a second limiting plate.

[0004] Although this type of litter box allows for the removal of the litter box lid, the lid removal requires opening multiple clips on the lid, and the structure is complex, making it inconvenient to open and close the lid, and the operation is complicated. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cat litter box with an elastic latch to solve the problem of inconvenient opening of the top cover of the cat litter box in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides a cat litter box with an elastic latch, comprising a shell, an opening disposed on the upper end face of the shell, and a top cover movably connected to the opening. A positioning plate is disposed at the edge of the opening, capable of abutting against the edge of the top cover. An elastic latch is disposed on the top cover, capable of abutting against the inner wall of the positioning plate to restrict the movement of the top cover. The locking end of the elastic latch is movably connected to the top cover and can swing horizontally under force.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the top cover can be placed at the opening of the shell by the positioning plate, the positioning plate abuts against the edge of the top cover, and the elastic buckle set on the top cover abuts against the inner wall of the positioning plate, thereby restricting the displacement of the top cover, so that the top cover can be quickly installed at the opening, and the elastic buckle can be used to achieve quick assembly and disassembly.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a cat litter box with an elastic latch 5, including a shell 1, an opening 2 disposed on the upper end face of the shell 1, and an upper cover 3 movably connected to the opening 2. A positioning plate 4 is fixedly disposed on the edge of the opening 2, which can abut against the edge of the upper cover. The positioning plate 4 and the upper end face of the opening 2 form a placement groove for placing the upper cover 3. An elastic latch 5 is disposed on the upper cover 3, which can abut against the inner wall of the positioning plate 4 to restrict the movement of the upper cover 3. The upper cover 3 can be installed in the opening 2, and the lower edge of the upper cover 3 abuts against the positioning plate 4. The upper cover 3 is then fixed by the elastic latch 5. When it is necessary to move the upper cover 3, the elastic latch 5 is operated to release the lock.

[0031] One end of the upper cover 3 is hinged to the housing 1 so that the upper cover 3 can be flipped from bottom to top. The elastic latch 5 is disposed opposite to the other end of the hinge end of the upper cover 3. The positioning plate 4 is U-shaped and located on one side of the hinge end of the upper cover 3, so that when the elastic latch 5 is released, the upper cover 3 can be flipped upward around the hinge point.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the elastic latch 5 includes a mounting base 20 fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the upper cover 3, an elastic locking plate 21 disposed on the mounting base 20 and capable of extending to the upper side of the upper cover 3, and an abutting block 22 disposed on the side wall of the elastic locking plate 21 and capable of abutting against the inner wall of the housing 1. The upper cover 3 has a clearance groove 23 for the elastic locking plate 21 to pass through. The elastic locking plate 21 is in clearance fit with the clearance groove 23. The elastic locking plate 21 can swing in the horizontal direction when subjected to force. The position of the abutting block 22 can be adjusted by operating the elastic locking plate 21.

[0033] The elastic plate 21 is J-shaped and is arranged vertically. Its short arm end is installed on the mounting base 20 and fixedly connected to the mounting base 20 by fasteners. Its long arm end extends through the relief groove 23 to the upper side of the upper cover 3. The abutment block 22 is arranged on the outside of the elastic plate 21 and is integrally formed with the elastic plate 21. The lower end surface of the abutment block 22 is set as a guide slope 24, and the upper end surface of the abutment block 22 abuts and connects with the lower end surface of the positioning plate 4.

[0034] The side wall of the elastic plate 21 is also provided with anti-slip texture 25, which is located on the upper side of the contact block 22 and on the upper side of the cover 3.

[0035] When the top cover 3 is opened, it is only necessary to press against the upper side of the elastic plate 21 to make the elastic plate 21 shift elastically in the horizontal direction, thereby causing the contact block 22 to disengage from the positioning plate 4, releasing the restriction on the top cover 3, so that it can be flipped around the hinge point to realize the opening of the top cover 3.

[0036] When closing the top cover 3, simply flip the top cover 3 from top to bottom so that it is snapped onto the positioning plate 4. The elastic locking plate 21 can automatically shift under the action of the guide slope 24 of the contact block 22 until the contact block 22 moves to the lower side of the positioning plate 4. Under the elastic force of the elastic locking plate 21, the contact block 22 is reset and moved to the lower side of the positioning plate 4, thus locking the top cover 3. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0037] Example 2:

[0038] The difference between the cat litter box with elastic latches provided in this embodiment and that in Embodiment 1 is that the positioning plate is set as a ring along the shape of the opening, the upper cover is placed on the positioning plate, the edge of the upper cover abuts against the positioning plate, and two sets of elastic latches are provided and are arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the upper cover. Other specific structures are the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0039] The cover can be fixed to the housing through two sets of elastic latches, and during disassembly, the cover can be removed from the housing simply by operating the two elastic plates on the cover, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0040] In summary, this utility model enables the upper cover 3 to be placed at the opening 2 of the housing 1 via the positioning plate 4. The positioning plate 4 abuts against the edge of the upper cover 3, and the elastic latch 5 on the upper cover 3 abuts against the inner wall of the positioning plate 4, thereby restricting the displacement of the upper cover 3. This allows the upper cover 3 to be quickly installed at the opening 2. The elastic latch 5 enables quick assembly and disassembly. Moreover, the structure is simple, with few parts, low cost, and easy to open.

[0041] Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.

[0042] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
