[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cat litter boxes, in particular to a cat litter box with a litter collecting tray. Background Art
[0002] An automatic cat litter box is a device that can automatically separate cat feces and cat litter, generally including a base and a rotating drum, and the cat feces and cat litter are separated by the rotation of the drum, so that the cat litter in the cat litter box is kept clean. At present, China Patent Publication No.: CN114793917B discloses a cat litter box with convenient cat litter replacement. When the cat litter box is in use, the cat litter box rotates through the drum, and the filter is set at the feces outlet. Only by rotating the drum, the cat feces in the cat litter can be filtered out, and the cat feces are cleaned and collected in the cat feces bin; when the cat litter box is in use, in the process of the cat entering and exiting the drum, the cat litter in the drum will be taken out of the drum by the cat through the opening on the front side of the drum, and the cat litter taken out by the cat will directly fall on the ground outside the cat litter box, which will cause inconvenience to the user and cause waste of cat litter. Utility Model Content
