[0031] All features disclosed in this specification, or all steps in the disclosed methods or processes, except for mutually exclusive features and / or steps, can be combined in any way.

[0032] As Figure 1 shown, a self-cleaning cat litter box of the present utility model includes:

[0033] Base 1, on which a control panel 6 and a control area are provided;

[0034] Drum 2, which has a cat litter chamber inside. Cat litter is placed in the cat litter chamber, and a filter screen 4 is provided in the cat litter chamber. The filter screen 4 plays a role in screening the cat litter, separating the clean cat litter from the feces. A cat litter retention chamber is separated on the other side of the filter screen 4. The drum 2 is hinged on the base 1;

[0035] Litter box door 3, which is movably installed on the top of the drum 2. A storage chamber is formed at the inner end of the litter box door 3 for collecting the feces of the cat;

[0036] By rotating the drum 2, the cat litter and feces are separated. When the drum 2 is rotated, the cat litter passes through the filter screen 4 and enters the cat litter retention chamber, and the feces are guided to flow into the storage chamber;

[0037] A gravity sensing device is provided at the bottom of the base 1 for sensing a change in the weight of the entire drum 2 and is connected to the control panel 6.

[0038] In order to control the rotation between the drum and the base, in this embodiment, a rotating drive mechanism 8 is provided between the base 1 and the drum 2 to control the clockwise and counterclockwise rotation of the drum 2 through the rotating drive mechanism 8.

[0039] In addition, the rotation drive mechanism 8 includes a drive motor, the motor shaft of the drive motor is connected to the hinge shaft on the drum 2, and the drive motor is controlled by the control panel 6, so as to realize the rotation control of the drum 2.

[0040] Among them, a control main board is arranged in the control panel 6 for receiving and processing various signals, such as the weight change signal transmitted by the gravity sensing device; control buttons 7 are arranged on the operation area, and the user can control the cat litter box through various control buttons 7 on the operation area.

[0041] Among them, a diversion surface 5 is formed on the drum 2 between the filter screen 4 and the feces bin door 3 to guide the smooth movement of cat litter and feces.

[0042] Among them, a hinge shaft is arranged at the top of the feces bin door 3, and the bottom of the feces bin door 3 is the movable end. When the drum 2 rotates, feces pass through the feces bin door 3 and enter the storage cavity.

[0043] Among them, an opened sealed bag is placed in the storage cavity, and feces pass through the feces bin door 3 and enter the sealed bag, effectively preventing the diffusion of odor and bacteria.

[0044] In addition, the gravity sensing device includes weight sensors arranged at the four corners of the base 1, and the weight sensors detect the weight value of the current drum 2 and transmit the weight value to the control main board end in real time.

[0045] In addition, a negative ion generator is installed at any position inside the drum 2. The negative ion generator is connected to the control main board, and the output end of the negative ions corresponds to the cat litter. The negative ion generator can generate negative ions, which helps to purify the air and provide a fresher use experience.

[0046] In addition, a ventilation fan is also installed on the drum 2, and the ventilation fan is connected to the control main board. The ventilation fan communicates with the cat litter cavity to keep the air circulation in the cat litter cavity and prevent the breeding of odor and bacteria.

[0047] Such as Figures 2 - 5 As shown, the working process is as follows:

[0048] 1. The cat toilet rotates counterclockwise to enter the separation of feces and cat litter;

[0049] 2. After the separation is completed, continue to rotate counterclockwise to the feces bin entrance;

[0050] 3. Cat feces enter the garbage bag in the feces bin through the feces bin door;

[0051] 4. The cat toilet rotates clockwise, and the cat litter under the filter screen flows back to the cat litter bin;

[0052] 5. Return to the normal position and swing at a small angle to level the sand surface, and then rotate back to the original position;

[0053] 6. When the work is completed, the exhaust fan is turned on throughout the process. After completion, the negative ions are turned on for sterilization and deodorization.
