Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a pet toilet, in particular to a pet toilet with a replaceable collection and processing module. Background Art

[0002] A Chinese public document with publication number CN218789711U, application number CN202223066325.9 and titled “An Automatic Cat Litter Box” discloses a cat litter box with a drum. This cat litter box is provided with a collection box directly below the drum. When the drum rotates, the agglomerated cat litter will slide to the outlet of the drum and then fall into the collection box, which is a drawer that can be removed from the whole machine. It can be seen that this pet toilet does not need to be installed near tap water and sewers.

[0003] The Chinese public document entitled "A Smart Cat Litter Box" with publication number CN111802256A and application number CN202010845986.8 discloses another cat litter box with a drum. This cat litter tray is also fixed with a crushing and excretion module (3) directly below the self-cleaning cabin (9), and the crushing and excretion module (3) includes a crushing box (17), a crushing fan (18) and a high-speed motor (19); when the self-cleaning cabin (9) rotates to the defecation outlet (9-1) facing directly below, the clumping waste sand falls into the crushing box (17) from the defecation outlet, and tap water enters the crushing box (17) through the water inlet (17-1), and the high-speed motor (19) drives the crushing fan (18) to rotate, and the clumping cat litter is crushed and stirred into small particles and then discharged into the sewer pipe through the water outlet (17-2). It can be seen that this cat litter box needs to be installed in a place nearby that can match tap water and sewers.

[0004] However, since the placement of the cat litter tray may change, environmental conditions that were originally unavailable may now be available, or environmental conditions that were originally available may now be unavailable; or users want to experience the use of products with different collection methods at a low cost, then current cat litter tray products cannot meet this requirement.

[0005] For this reason, it is necessary to improve the existing cat litter box to solve the problem in this respect. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to solve the problems existing in the existing cat litter boxes and provide a pet toilet with a collection and processing module that can be replaced as needed.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] A pet toilet with a replaceable collection and processing module comprises a casing, a main control circuit, an automatic screening device and a collection and processing device; the automatic screening device puts the screened clumping cat litter into the collection and processing device; in particular, the collection and processing device is configured as an integral module and can be removed from the casing and replaced.

[0009] The structural principle of the utility model is:

[0010] The collecting and processing device referred to in the present invention is configured as an integral module, which means that the working of the collecting and processing device requires at least two of the four connections: mechanical connection, power circuit connection, signal circuit connection, and water connection. There is a relevant connection structure near the location of the collecting and processing device. The user can operate the relevant connection structure to remove and replace the collecting and processing device as a whole from the casing without involving the disassembly of other parts of the casing. In this way, when purchasing a pet toilet product, the user can purchase one or more different collecting and processing devices as needed, and select one of the collecting and processing devices according to specific environmental conditions. Since the cost of purchasing an additional set of collecting and processing devices is lower than that of purchasing a complete set of pet toilets, it also reduces the storage space occupied, thus bringing greater benefits to users.

[0011] The collection and processing device can be an automatic crushing and flushing type, or an automatic packaging type. Of course, the user can also use a conventional collection tray without any circuit or water path, such as the collection box in the Chinese patent document with publication number CN218789711U mentioned in the background technology, and combine it with the pet toilet product of the utility model.

[0012] Preferably, the collecting and processing device can be removed from the casing as a whole module and replaced without tools.

[0013] Preferably, it is also provided with an identification device, which is connected to the main control circuit and is used to identify the type of the collection and processing device. The identification device may be magnetically sensitive, light-sensitive, pressure-sensitive, heat-sensitive, a resistor with a preset resistance, an RFID identification device, or an electrical short-circuit, etc. After the collection and processing device is correctly installed, the main control circuit can automatically learn the type of the collection and processing device through the identification device and switch to the corresponding control program. In addition, the main control circuit can also automatically detect and determine whether the collection and processing device has been correctly installed through the identification device.

[0014] As a preference, a setting input device may also be provided, wherein the setting input device is used to provide the user with the setting type and / or operating parameters of the collection and processing device. Such a setting input device may be a mechanical dial switch, or a key, or a display screen with a touch function, etc.

[0015] Preferably, a corridor installation position may be configured on the housing for users to optionally connect a corridor module. The corridor module is a passage for pets to enter the litter tray inside the pet toilet; the passage surface of the corridor module is preferably formed with a mesh to remove sand from the pet's feet.

[0016] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that since the connection structures of related parties such as circuits, waterways, and mechanical connections have been pre-configured, the pet toilet can be replaced with various collection and processing devices in modular form as needed, avoiding users from making repeated purchases to save costs and improving the applicability of the product.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, purposes and effects of the present utility model, the specific implementation methods of the present utility model are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, a pet toilet with a replaceable collection and processing module in this embodiment includes a housing 1, a main control circuit (not shown), an automatic screening device 2 and a collection and processing device 3. Among them, the automatic screening device 2 is a drum-shaped device, and its structure can adopt a structure similar to that of the prior art with a publication number of CN218789711U and an application number of CN202223066325.9. A collection and processing device 3 is arranged below the automatic screening device 2. The automatic screening device 2 puts the screened agglomerated cat litter into the collection and processing device 3 through its collection port 21. According to the type and function of the selected collection and processing device 3, the agglomerated cat litter is processed accordingly. As shown in FIG. Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the collecting and processing device 3 of this embodiment has a bottom plate 31, on which a collecting funnel 32 and a motor 33 are fixedly mounted, and a blade wheel (not shown) for stirring and pressurizing is provided at the bottom of the collecting funnel 32. When the blade wheel rotates, the liquid inside is discharged through the discharge port 322. The rotating shaft of the blade wheel extends out of the bottom surface of the collecting funnel 32 and is driven by the motor 33. A water spray port 321 is also provided on the side wall of the collecting funnel 32. The water spray port 321 is connected to the output port 341 of the booster pump 34, and the input port 342 of the booster pump 34 is connected to the external waterway. The bottom plate 31 matches the bottom opening shape and the side opening shape of the housing 1. When the bottom plate 31 is installed, there is only an error gap between the bottom plate 31 and the housing 1. In this embodiment, the mechanical connection between the collection and treatment device 3 and the housing 1 is achieved by connecting the screws and screw holes between the bottom plate 31 and the housing 1. In addition, the motor 33 and the booster pump 34 of the pet toilet are electrically connected to the main control circuit through plug-in terminals 35. It can be seen that the mechanical connection, power circuit connection, and water connection required by the collection and treatment device 3 are all in the vicinity of the location of the collection and treatment device 3, that is, there are related easy-to-operate docking structures. The user removes the screws on the bottom plate 31, removes the water path of the input port 342 of the booster pump 34, and unplugs the terminals 35 of the motor 33 and the booster pump 34, and can remove the collection and treatment device 3 from the housing 1 as a whole without involving the disassembly of other parts of the housing 1, thereby realizing the modular installation and replacement of the collection and treatment device 3.

[0025] It should be noted that it is also possible to consider making the installation and removal direction of the circuit connection structure the same as the installation and removal direction of the water channel connection structure, so that the user can simultaneously complete the installation and removal of the circuit and the water channel by applying force in one direction, which is more convenient and quick.

[0026] In this embodiment, a permanent magnet is further provided on the bottom plate 31, and two Hall sensors as magnetically sensitive identification devices are further provided on the housing 1. One possible application is: a permanent magnet for triggering one Hall sensor is provided on the automatic crushing and washing type collection and processing device, a permanent magnet for triggering two Hall sensors is provided on the automatic packaging type collection and processing device, and no permanent magnet is provided on the non-electric collection and processing device. In this way, the main control circuit can identify the type of the corresponding collection and processing device according to the number of Hall sensors triggered, so as to execute the corresponding program.

[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the pet toilet of this embodiment is also provided with a plurality of gourd holes 11 on the housing 1 as installation positions of the corridor module, and corresponding snap-in heads 41 are provided on the side of the corridor module 4. When the snap-in heads 41 are all snapped into the gourd holes 11, the corridor module 4 is connected and fixed to the pet toilet. The pet is forced to walk through the corridor module 4, and the passage surface of the corridor module 4 is formed with meshes for removing sand from the pet's feet, and a collection slope is provided below the meshes for collecting sand into a collection drawer 42.

[0028] The pet toilet of this embodiment allows users to flexibly select different collection and processing devices, and has the advantages of easy replacement and low cost.

[0029] This specification lists only the preferred implementation modes of the utility model. All equivalent technical changes made under the working principle and concept of the utility model are deemed to be within the protection scope of the utility model.
