[0031] In the disclosed embodiment, the urine excreted by the cat outside the entrance of the drum is collected by the urine collecting groove 105. When the cat's urine accumulates in the deeper area in the middle of the urine collecting groove 105, it will come into contact with the metal conductive rod A1051 and the metal conductive rod B1052. Urine is conductive, so the metal conductive rod A1051 connected to the live wire of the power supply and the metal conductive rod B1052 connected to the neutral wire of the power supply can form a power closed circuit, so that the signal alarm inside the main body 1 is energized, and then the signal is transmitted to the controller of the main body 1.

[0032] Embodiment 2, on the basis of embodiment 1, a cat litter collecting bin 201 is provided on one side of the storage chamber of the rolling drum 2, and a cleaning port 202 is opened on one side of the cat litter collecting bin 201, and the cleaning port 202 is communicated with the storage chamber of the rolling drum 2; a cleaning cover 203 is rotatably connected to the rolling drum 2, and the cleaning cover 203 rotates on one side of the cat litter collecting bin 201; cat litter is stored in the storage chamber of the rolling drum 2, and then the rotating structure of the main body 1 drives the rotating rolling drum 2 to rotate, so that the cat litter enters the cat litter collecting bin 201 from the cleaning port 202, and the cat litter is filtered, which is convenient for users.

[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: first, the urine excreted by the cat outside the entrance of the drum is collected through the urine collection groove 105. When the cat's urine accumulates in the deeper area in the middle of the urine collection groove 105, it will contact the metal conductive rod A1051 and the metal conductive rod B1052. Urine is conductive, so the metal conductive rod A1051 connected to the live wire of the power supply and the metal conductive rod B1052 connected to the neutral wire of the power supply can form a power closed circuit, so that the signal alarm inside the main body 1 is energized, and then the signal is transmitted to the controller of the main body 1. A signal transmitting device is also installed inside the main body 1. After receiving the alarm from the signal alarm of the main body 1, the controller of the main body 1 sends the alarm signal to the APP of the user's mobile phone through the signal transmitting device of the main body 1, notifying the user to clean up the cat's urine.

[0034] Then, the cat litter is stored in the storage chamber of the rolling drum 2, and then the rotating structure of the main body 1 drives the rotating rolling drum 2 to rotate, so that the cat litter enters the cat litter collection bin 201 from the cleaning port 202, and the cat litter is filtered for convenience of use.
