[0030] When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0031] It should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "length", "width", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present application.

[0032] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0033] In the description of the present application, "a plurality of" means two or more unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , and now the sand bin provided in the first aspect embodiment of the present application will be described.

[0035] It should be understood that with reference to Figure 1, the sand bin of the embodiment of this aspect is used to be assembled on the base 200 of the litter box and is driven by the base 200 to rotate.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the sand bin includes a bin body 100, on the circumferential surface of which a feces outlet 110 is axially arranged. At the same time, a bin opening 120 is arranged on one end surface of the bin body 100, and a filter sand assembly 130 communicating with the feces outlet 110 is arranged inside the bin body 100. A cat litter recycling bin 140 for storing clean cat litter is formed by enclosing between the filter sand assembly 130 and the inner side wall of the bin body 100.

[0037] It can be understood that when the feces outlet 110 communicates with the feces collection port 220 on the base 200, the feces outlet 110 is located at the bottom of the bin body 100.

[0038] It can be understood that the side of the bin body 100 where the feces outlet 110 is opened is defined as the first area A, and the area of the bin body 100 for accommodating cat litter when the pet cat is in a free entry and exit state is defined as the second area B. In some embodiments, the first area A and the second area B are arranged opposite to each other.

[0039] The inside of the bin body 100 is used to hold cat litter. The pet cat enters and exits the inside of the bin body 100 through the bin opening 120 and defecates on the cat litter. After the pet cat leaves the bin body 100, the bin body 100 is driven to rotate by the driving device 240 on the seat body so that the feces outlet 110 on the bin body 100 communicates with the feces collection port 220 on the seat body; during this process, the cat litter adhered with feces and the clean cat litter flow from the second area B to the first area A. The cat litter adhered with feces, due to its volume being larger than the size of the filter holes of the filter sand assembly 130, directly rolls to the feces outlet 110 and is discharged out of the bin body 100, while the clean cat litter that has not adhered with feces, due to its smaller particle diameter, can pass through the filter holes of the filter sand assembly 130 and be temporarily stored in the cat litter recycling bin 140; after the cat litter adhered with feces in the bin body 100 is completely discharged, the bin body 100 rotates in the reverse direction, and the cat litter temporarily stored in the cat litter recycling bin 140 flows out and converges to the second area B.

[0040] Reference Figures 2 to 4, Further, the end face of the bin body 100 where the bin opening 120 is provided is inclined, and its inclination direction is inclined from the side of the bin body 100 away from the discharge opening 110 towards the side close to the discharge opening 110. By such a setting, when the first area A and the second area B are respectively located at the bottom of the bin body 100, the volume of the first area A on the bin body 100 is larger than the volume of the second area B. Thus, during the rotation of the bin body 100, that is, during the process where the position of the first area A changes from the bottom to the top and the second area B changes from the top to the bottom, even if the lighter clean cat litter drops from the top inside the bin body 100, the dropping area is located inside the bin body 100 and will not spill from the bin opening 120.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 , In some embodiments, the end face of the bin body 100 where the bin opening 120 is provided is inclined from the inside to the outside in the radial direction, that is, when viewed from the side, the end face of the bin body 100 close to its axis is more convex. Thus, during the rotation of the bin body 100, the inclined end face can guide and converge the cat litter to the middle of the bin body 100 and will not spill from the bin opening 120.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 , In a further embodiment, the bin opening 120 is oval, and one end of the long axis direction of the bin opening 120 and the discharge opening 110 are on the same side of the bin body 100. Thus, when the bin body 100 is in the position state where the pet cat can freely enter and exit, the oval bin opening 120 setting can make the height of the bin opening 120 larger to improve the comfort of the pet cat entering and exiting.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 , In a further embodiment, an adsorption box 150 is further provided inside the bin body 100, and the adsorption box 150 is detachably arranged on the side wall of the bin body 100. The adsorption box 150 is used to accommodate adsorption and filtration substances, such as activated carbon, or can also be used to accommodate fragrance substances to eliminate the peculiar smell inside the bin body 100. Further, the adsorption box 150 can be connected to the inner side wall of the bin body 100 by a snap connection to improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly.

[0044] In a further embodiment, the adsorption box 150 is arranged on the side of the bin body 100 away from the bin opening 120. Thus, the setting of the adsorption box 150 does not occupy the relatively limited space inside the bin body 100, and the pet cat has a larger activity space inside the bin body 100.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 , In the embodiment of the second aspect of the present application, a cat litter box is proposed, which includes a base 200 and the sand bin in any of the above embodiments.

[0046] Specifically, a guide arc surface 210 is formed on the base 200, a feces collecting port 220 is arranged on the guide arc surface 210, a pull-out feces collecting box 230 is arranged in the base 200, the feces collecting port 220 is connected to the feces collecting box 230, and a driving device 240 is arranged on the base 200.

[0047] The sand bin is mounted on the guide arc surface 210 and a driven device driven to rotate by the driving device 240 is arranged on the side away from the bin opening 120 , so that the sand bin can rotate to be connected with the feces collecting opening 220 .

[0048] In some embodiments, the driving device 240 may be a gear, and the driven device may be a gear ring meshing with the gear. The arrangement of the driving device 240 and the driven device is not limited thereto. It is understood that the aforementioned adsorption box 150 is arranged inside the convex space formed with the gear ring on the warehouse body 100, so that the influence of the arrangement of the adsorption box 150 on the internal space of the warehouse body 100 can be reduced.

[0049] refer to Figure 5 In some embodiments, a barrier strip 250 is provided on the guide arc surface 210 around the feces collecting opening 220. When the sand bin is mounted on the guide arc surface 210, the barrier strip 250 abuts against the outer wall of the sand bin. In this way, on the one hand, the provision of the barrier strip 250 can provide a certain damping for the rotation of the sand bin to slow down the rotation of the sand bin and make it rotate more smoothly; on the other hand, when the sand bin rotates to a position where the feces outlet 110 on it is staggered from the feces collecting opening 220 on the seat body, the barrier strip 250 can seal the gap between the sand bin and the guide arc surface 210 to reduce the leakage of feces odor in the feces collecting box 230.

[0050] refer to Figure 6 On the basis of any of the above embodiments, the feces collecting box 230 may be arranged in the following manners: That is, a fence 231 is formed on the feces collecting box 230, and the fence 231 is a quadrilateral for example.

[0051] The enclosure 231 is enclosed to form a feces collection area. When in use, the drawstring bag is sleeved on the enclosure 231 so that feces falling from the feces collection port 220 can directly fall into the drawstring bag. Further, elastic plates 232 are provided on the three adjacent sides of the enclosure 231, and a tightening structure 233 is provided at the front end of the enclosure 231. In this way, when the drawstring bag is sleeved on the enclosure 231, the tightening rope at the opening edge of the drawstring bag can be stretched open by each elastic plate 232, and at the same time, the tightening end of the tightening rope is sleeved in the tightening structure 233 to be fixed. In this way, when it is necessary to remove the drawstring bag containing feces, the tightening rope can be tightened at the tightening structure 233. After the tightening rope is pulled, the opening of the drawstring bag becomes smaller, and the elastic plate 232 is pulled to elastically deform relative to the enclosure 231 structure so that it can be smoothly detached from the enclosure 231.

[0052] Further, referring to Figure 6 , the elastic plate 232 disposed opposite to the tightening structure 233 is rotatably disposed on the enclosure structure 231, and an elastic member is disposed between the enclosure structure 231 and the elastic plate 232. In this way, only one elastic plate 232 is movably disposed. When the tightening rope is pulled, the elastic plate 232 opposite to the tightening structure 233 rotates relative to the enclosure structure 231 to release the edge of the drawstring bag sleeved thereon, while the other two elastic plates 232 maintain the supporting effect on the edge of the drawstring bag. By continuing to pull the tightening rope, the parts of the drawstring bag sleeved on the other two edges of the enclosure structure 231 are successively pulled away until the opening size of the drawstring bag gradually shrinks and is completely closed. At this time, the tightening rope can be pulled away from the tightening structure 233 to take out the drawstring bag.

[0053] Further, a decorative plate is disposed on the front side of the enclosure structure 231, and the tightening structure 233 is a groove formed on the decorative plate and having a polygonal bend and one end communicating with the side of the decorative plate. In some embodiments, the groove is in a bent "G" shape. By arranging the groove in a bent shape, it can effectively prevent the tightening rope from detaching from the groove, facilitating the tightening operation of the drawstring bag.

[0054] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
