[0036] Embodiment 2:

[0037] The steel needle installation tool for the cat litter box shoveling feces rake teeth provided in Example 1 is further optimized, specifically, as Figure 1-3 As shown, in order to facilitate grabbing and pushing the slide 6, a handle 7 is symmetrically fixed on the outer side of the upper end of the slide 6. Before and after the slide 6 moves, in order to facilitate limiting the position of the slide 6, the two ends of the upper end of the L-shaped base 1 are respectively fixed with a first stop rubber strip 8 and a second stop rubber strip 9, so that before the slide 6 moves, when the steel needles are placed in sequence, and after the slide 6 moves, when the steel needles and the cat litter shovel are installed, the position of the slide 6 is not easy to move;

[0038] The use process of the steel needle installation tool for cat litter box excrement shoveling rake teeth provided by the utility model is as follows: first, a plurality of steel needles are placed in a plurality of semicircular grooves 13 in sequence, and after the lengths of the plurality of steel needles are aligned, the handle 27 is grasped to pull the hollow cylinder 25 and the second flat gear 26 to slide out from the inner side of the gear groove 23, and then when the second flat gear 26 is not located inside the gear groove 23, the handle 27 can be turned to drive the hollow cylinder 25 and the second flat gear 26 to rotate, and the meshing of the second flat gear 26 and the first flat gear 22 drives the support shaft 20 to rotate, and then the meshing of the second bevel gear 21 and the first bevel gear 19 drives the screw 18 to rotate, so that the needle pressing plate 14 is guided downward by the sliding of the slide column 16, the slide plate 17 and the guide groove 10, and the plurality of steel needles are pressed and fixed in cooperation with the plurality of arc-shaped pressing grooves 15;

[0039] When the needle pressing plate 14 is in close contact with the steel needle, the second flat gear 26 is aligned with the teeth of the gear groove 23, and then the handle 27 is released to drive the hollow cylinder 25 to reset through the elastic characteristics of the spring 29, so that the second flat gear 26 slides into the inner side of the gear groove 23 again to limit the rotation of the second flat gear 26, thereby fixing the rotation of the screw 18, and realizing the fixation of the position of the needle pressing plate 14 and multiple steel needles;

[0040] Therefore, the grabbing handle 7 facilitates pushing the slide 6 to move toward the shovel seat 3 through the guidance of the guide column 2. When the slide 6 and the shovel seat 3, and the slide 6 and the second retaining strip 9 are all in contact, the position of the slide 6 is limited, thereby facilitating the installation of the steel needle and the cat litter shovel placed in the placement groove 4, and effectively ensuring that the spacing between the multiple steel needles after installation is equal.
