Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pet products, in particular to a metal cat litter box which is convenient to assemble and disassemble. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the pet cat market, more and more users tend to replace traditional plastic cat litter boxes with metal cat litter boxes that are not easy to breed bacteria and are easy to clean, especially stainless steel cat litter boxes. Ordinary stainless steel cat litter boxes are open stainless steel rectangular basins. Because they cannot cover the odor problem, semi-open and fully enclosed stainless steel cat litter boxes have gradually appeared. Such cat litter boxes are usually composed of a plastic cover connected to a metal bottom basin.

[0003] At present, the common connection method on the market is to set buckles on the left and right sides of the plastic upper cover that press down into the flange of the stainless steel basin. This type of buckle is very inconvenient to disassemble. If you want to ensure a tight connection and prevent it from falling off, you need to press down hard during installation. When disassembling, you need to forcefully bend the buckle outwards while lifting the entire upper cover upward, which is very inconvenient. If you want to save effort, the connection may become loose and easy to fall off, and there is a risk of being pushed open by the cat.

[0004] To this end, the utility model provides a metal cat litter box that is easy to disassemble and assemble, which can effectively solve the above problems. The utility model has a simple structure, convenient disassembly, firm connection and good sealing effect. Utility Model Content
