They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0029] See Figures 1 to 4The utility model discloses an intelligent cat litter machine, including a body 10, a collection box 30, a litter basin assembly and a driving assembly. The body 10 has an installation cavity, and the collection box 30 is detachably installed in the installation cavity. The litter basin assembly includes a basin body 20 and a sand discharge pad 21, and the basin body 20 is rotatably installed in the installation cavity, and the basin body 20 has a receiving cavity 25 at one end away from the installation cavity. The receiving cavity 25 has an opening, and a filter port is provided in the basin body 20, and the filter port is arranged along the inner wall of the receiving cavity 25 and is connected with the installation cavity. A filter frame 22 is also provided in the filter port, and the filter frame 22 is used for filtering, and the sand discharge pad 21 is detachably connected to the filter frame 22 and covers the filter frame when connected to the filter frame 22. When the basin body 20 rotates to correspond to the collection box 30, the sand discharge pad 21 guides the cat litter to be discharged to the collection box 30 through the opening. The specific driving assembly is installed in the installation cavity and is used to drive the basin body 20 to rotate.

[0030] On the basis of the above structure, during specific use, the sand discharge pad 21 can be detached from the filter frame 22. When a certain amount of excrement accumulates in the cat litter, the basin body 20 can be driven to rotate by the driving assembly. When the basin body 20 rotates to the filter port corresponding to the collection box 30, the cat litter also moves to the filter frame 22 on the filter port. At this time, the excrement in the cat litter can be guided from the mesh or gap provided on the filter frame 22 to the collection box 30 located in the installation cavity, so that the excrement in the cat litter can be filtered through the filter frame 22 and discharged into the collection box 30 to purify the cat litter. Afterwards, when the excrement in the cat litter is filtered, the basin body 20 is rotated again to reset to pass through the filter frame 22, so that the cat litter in the basin body 20 can be reused.

[0031] Specifically, when the cat litter has been used for too long and needs to be replaced, the sand discharge pad 21 is connected to the filter frame 22, the filter frame 22 is sealed, and then the basin body 20 is driven to rotate. When the basin body 20 rotates until the edge of its opening corresponds to the collection box 30, the cat litter pad can move along the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 25 to the edge of the opening. At this time, since the filter frame 22 is sealed with the sand discharge pad 21, the cat litter will not run out of the filter frame 22, so that the cat litter can be concentratedly discharged from the opening to the collection box 30 under the guidance of the sand discharge pad 21, which makes it easier for the cat litter to be discharged from the opening, and the discharge speed is faster. It also prevents the cat litter from entering the installation cavity from the filter frame 22 during the pouring process, affecting the use of other equipment inside the body 10, thereby protecting the normal operation of the machine and reducing the possibility of malfunction.

[0032] Therefore, when using the intelligent cat litter machine in this embodiment, the excrement in the cat litter can be filtered through the filter frame 22 during normal use, so that the cat litter can be reused. When the cat litter needs to be replaced, the filter frame 22 can be covered by the sand discharge pad 21 to prevent the cat litter from overflowing from the filter frame 22 during the replacement process, thereby ensuring that the cat litter can be concentratedly discharged from the opening under the guidance of the sand discharge pad 21. The replacement efficiency is high, and there is no need for manual litter replacement, which is more efficient. At the same time, the problem of cat litter entering the body 10 from the filter frame 22 and affecting the normal operation of the internal equipment during the litter replacement process can be avoided, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0033] In addition, since the collection box 30 is detachably installed in the installation cavity, after cat litter or excrement is introduced into the collection box 30, the collection box 30 can be detached from the installation cavity, so that the cat litter in the collection box 30 can be discharged to the outside and then reinstalled into the installation cavity for reuse. Specifically, the collection box 30 can be installed in the installation cavity by a snap-on method, which is convenient for users to disassemble or connect.

[0034] It should be noted that the filter frame 22 can also be formed of a plastic or metal mesh, or a filter mesh or other structure, and the sand removal pad 21 can be made of a material with good sealing and anti-slip properties such as silicone or rubber, so that after the sand removal pad 21 covers the filter frame 22, the pet cat will not easily slip if it steps on the sand removal pad 21; in addition, the sand removal pad 21 can be detachably connected to the filter frame 22 by means of a snap connection or a threaded connection during assembly.

[0035] More specifically, the driving component can select a driving motor 40, and connect the motor shaft of the driving motor 40 to the basin body 20 to directly drive the basin body 20 to rotate through the driving motor 40; of course, the driving motor 40 can also be connected to the basin body 20 through a transmission part such as a driving gear or chain, thereby driving the basin body 20 to rotate, depending on the actual setting.

[0036] Furthermore, a first clamping portion is provided on the periphery of the filter port or on the filter frame 22, and a second clamping portion is provided on the sand removal pad 21. During use, when the filter frame 22 needs to be covered, it is only necessary to engage the first clamping portion with the second clamping portion to connect the sand removal pad 21 to the periphery of the filter frame 22 or directly engage the filter frame 22 to cover the filter frame 22; similarly, when the sand removal pad 21 needs to be removed from the filter frame 22, it is only necessary to disengage the second clamping portion from the first clamping portion, so that the sand removal pad 21 is separated from the filter frame 22, so that the sand removal pad 21 and the filter frame 22 are detachably connected by the clamping connection. Compared with connection methods such as threaded connection, the structure of the clamping connection is relatively simple and can be disassembled without the aid of tools. The structure is simpler and the disassembly and assembly are more convenient.

[0037] It should be noted that the first clamping portion can be a structure such as a clamping groove or a clamping hole arranged on the periphery of the filter port or the filter frame 22, and the second clamping portion can be a structure such as a buckle 211 or a clamping block arranged on the sand removal pad 21, so that the two are clamped and connected. Of course, the first clamping portion can also be a structure such as a clamping strip or a clamping block on the periphery of the filter port or the filter frame 22, and the second clamping portion can be a structure such as a clamping groove or a clamping hole arranged on the sand removal pad 21 corresponding thereto.

[0038] Specifically, if a buckle 211 or a block structure is set on the periphery of the filter port, it is easy to cause the inner wall of the basin body 20 to be uneven, causing the pet cat to be scratched by the raised clamping strip or block after entering the basin body 20. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first clamping part is a clamping groove provided on the periphery of the filter port, and the second clamping part is a block provided on the sand removal pad 21, so that the sand removal pad 21 and the filter frame 22 can be detachably connected, and the unevenness inside the basin body 20 can be avoided, and the structure is more practical.

[0039] Of course, in another embodiment, as a preference, the filter frame 22 in this embodiment has multiple filter holes 221, and the multiple filter holes 221 are distributed at intervals on the filter frame 22. At this time, at least one of the filter holes 221 is formed as a first clamping portion, and at least one clamping buckle 211 is provided on the sand removal pad 21. The size of the clamping buckle 211 is set corresponding to the size of the filter hole 221, so that a second clamping portion is formed by the clamping buckle 211. When the sand removal pad 21 is connected to the filter frame 22, it is only necessary to clamp the clamping buckle 211 into the filter hole 221 to make the connection. In this way, the detachable connection with the sand removal pad 21 can be achieved directly through the filter hole 221 on the filter frame 22. There is no need to add a first clamping portion around the periphery of the filter port to achieve the detachable connection between the sand removal pad 21 and the filter frame 22, thereby simplifying the assembly structure and avoiding the phenomenon of damaging the structure of the basin body 20 itself due to excessive structures being set on the basin body 20.

[0040] More specifically, two, four, six or more buckles 211 may be symmetrically provided on the bottom of the sand removal pad 21 so that after engaging with the filter holes 221 on the filter frame 22 , the connection between the sand removal pad 21 and the filter frame 22 is more stable and not easy to loosen.

[0041] Preferably, the sand removal pad 21 in this embodiment is a silicone pad. Silicone has excellent elasticity and resilience. This allows the clip 211 on the silicone pad to fit tightly against the inner wall of the filter hole 221 once it is attached to the filter hole 221, reducing the risk of displacement. This prevents the sand removal pad 21 from coming loose during the rotation of the bowl 20, and prevents cat litter from spilling out of the filter holder 22. Furthermore, because silicone is relatively soft, a pet cat stepping on the sand removal pad 21 will not cause harm. Furthermore, a guide slope is provided on the bowl 20, tilted from top to bottom along the height of the accommodating chamber 25, and used to guide cat litter into or out of the accommodating chamber 25. The filter holder 22 is located on the guide slope.

[0042] On the basis of this structure, during assembly, a guiding slope can be set at one end of the accommodating chamber 25 close to the collection box 30, so that when the edge of the basin body 20 is rotated to correspond to the collection box 30, due to the existence of the guiding slope, when the sand contacts the guiding slope, its movement direction will be guided by the guiding slope, and it will accelerate down along the direction of the guiding slope. This slope effect makes the sand discharge process smoother, so that the cat litter can be poured into the collection box 30 more quickly and concentratedly, reducing the risk of cat litter overflowing from other angles.

[0043] Furthermore, the filter rack 22 is positioned on the guide slope, allowing the cat litter in the basin 20 to be easily slid onto the filter rack 22 for filtration under the guidance of the guide slope, making the structure more practical. Furthermore, the litter basin assembly also includes a baffle 23, which is rotatably connected to the basin 20 and covers the guide slope. The baffle 23 rotates when subjected to force, and when rotating, forms a sand guide opening with the guide slope, which is used to guide the cat litter into the collection box 30.

[0044] Specifically, when the cat litter needs to be replaced, since the baffle 23 covers the top of the guide slope, when the basin body 20 rotates, the baffle 23 can be rotated under the force. When the cat litter flows toward the angle between the baffle 23 and the guide slope under the guidance of the guide slope, the baffle 23 is impacted by the gravity of the cat litter and rotates to form a sand guide port between the baffle 23 and the guide slope, so that the cat litter can be guided from the sand guide port into the collection box 30. In this way, the cat litter is not easy to overflow to other places during the pouring process because it is blocked by the baffle 23 above, thereby reducing the phenomenon of cat litter overflow affecting the indoor environment.

[0045] More specifically, during assembly, a rotating shaft 24 is provided on both sides of the basin body 20, and a through hole 231 is provided at both ends of the baffle 23. The rotating shaft 24 is passed through the through hole 231 so that the baffle 23 is rotatably connected to the basin body 20 to ensure that the baffle 23 can rotate after being subjected to force.

[0046] Furthermore, the above-mentioned driving assembly includes a driving motor 40 and a transmission member. The power output end of the driving motor 40 is connected to the transmission member and is used to drive the transmission member to rotate. The transmission member is connected to the outer periphery of the basin body 20 and drives the basin body 20 to rotate when rotating.

[0047] Specifically, one end of the transmission member (such as a gear, a chain, or a synchronous belt, etc.) is connected to the power output end of the drive motor 40, and the other end of the transmission member is connected to the basin body 20. In this way, when the drive motor 40 drives the transmission member to rotate, it can drive the basin body 20 to rotate together, so that the basin body 20 is driven to rotate by the cooperation of the drive motor 40 and the transmission member. Compared with directly driving the basin body 20 to rotate by the drive motor 40, the drive motor 40 is used in conjunction with the transmission member. The transmission member buffers and reduces the impact of the load on the drive motor 40 to a certain extent, thereby protecting the drive motor 40 from damage and indirectly improving the service life of the entire structure.

[0048] More specifically, the transmission member in this embodiment includes a driving wheel 50 and at least one driven wheel 51. The driving motor 40 is connected to the driving wheel 50 to drive the driving wheel 50 to rotate, and the driven wheel 51 is engaged with the driving wheel 50 for transmission. A limiting wheel 52 is provided on the outer periphery of the basin body 20, and the limiting wheel 52 is engaged with one of the driven wheels 51 away from the driving wheel 50 for transmission. In this way, when the driving motor 40 drives the driving wheel 50 to rotate, the driven wheel 51 can rotate synchronously and drive the limiting wheel 52 to rotate, so that the basin body 20 rotates therewith.

[0049] In addition, if the basin body 20 rotates more than 180 degrees, the cat litter may overflow from the cat litter box due to inertia, causing trouble in cleaning and unnecessary waste. Therefore, the limiting wheel 52 in this embodiment is semicircular, so that the path of its meshing transmission with the driven wheel 51 is limited. When the driven wheel 51 meshes with the semicircular gear and starts to rotate, the semicircular gear can only rotate along its semicircular trajectory. This design makes the basin body 20 only able to complete a 180-degree rotation when driven by the driven wheel 51. In this way, the rotation range of the basin body 20 can be limited to a rotation range of 180 degrees, to ensure that the cat litter can be smoothly poured from one side of the basin body 20 to the other side, which not only ensures the smoothness of pouring, but also avoids excessive cat litter residue, and prevents the cat litter from overflowing or causing other safety hazards due to excessive rotation of the basin body 20 during the pouring process.

[0050] The technical means disclosed in the present invention are not limited to those disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above-mentioned technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
