DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0018] The following further describes the utility model in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0019] As shown in Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, the utility model provides a cat litter box with a flip cover, which includes a base 1 for containing cat litter. Inner threaded sleeves 2 are inserted from the inside to the outside on both left and right sides of the base 1. A locking screw 3 is threadedly connected in the inner threaded holes of the inner threaded sleeves 2. The locking screw 3 includes a threaded rod portion 31 and an end face disc portion 32. A positioning convex column 321 extends from the inner side face of the end face disc portion 32. A first U-shaped flap 4 is sleeved on the outer surface of the inner threaded sleeve 2. An outer positioning block 5 is connected to the outer side face of the first U-shaped flap 4. A second U-shaped flap 6 is connected to the inner side face of the end face disc portion 32 through the positioning convex column 321. A number of U-shaped flaps 7 are arranged between the first U-shaped flap 4 and the second U-shaped flap 6. Inner positioning blocks 8 and outer positioning blocks 5 are respectively connected to the inner and outer side faces of each U-shaped flap 7. The first U-shaped flap 4, all the U-shaped flaps 7 and the second U-shaped flap 6 are in interference fit with each other through adjacent inner positioning blocks 8 and outer positioning blocks 5. The inner positioning block 8 of each U-shaped flap 7 and the outer positioning block 5 of the adjacent inner U-shaped flap 7 are engaged and stopped after rotating an angle; all the U-shaped flaps 7 maintain the current flipped open state, fully open or fully closed by interference fit during the rotation process.
[0020] In the above solution, a convex column extends from the inner side face of the outer positioning block 5 on the outer side face of the first U-shaped flap 4. The convex column passes through the first U-shaped flap 4 and is inserted into the side wall of the base 1.
[0021] Specifically, a sleeve section 81 extends axially outward from the central area of the inner positioning block 8 of the U-shaped flap 7. The U-shaped flap 7 and the outer positioning block 5 thereon are both sleeved on the sleeve section 81. A convex column extends from the inner side face of the outer positioning block 5 and passes through the U-shaped flap 7 to connect the U-shaped flap 7, the inner positioning block 8 and the outer positioning block 5 together; the inner positioning block 8 connected to one or several U-shaped flaps 7 close to the first U-shaped flap 4 is in interference fit and sleeved on the outer surface of the inner threaded sleeve 2.
[0022] In addition, limiting ends 9 extend from both the inner positioning block 8 and the outer positioning block 5. The inner positioning block 8 of each U-shaped flap 7 and the outer positioning block 5 of the adjacent inner U-shaped flap 7 are engaged and stopped after rotating an angle. The outer positioning block 5 of each U-shaped flap 7 and the inner positioning block 8 of the adjacent outer U-shaped flap 7 are engaged and positioned after rotating an angle.
[0023] Furthermore, a convex column extends from the inner side face of the second U-shaped flap 6 and presses against the outer side face of the outer positioning block 5 of the outermost U-shaped flap 7.
[0024] When the utility model is in use, the state can be switched by flipping the U-shaped flap 7. When it is fully opened, it presents the structure as shown in Figure 1 the figure. At this time, it is suitable for cleaning the cat litter box, changing the cat litter and other operations. When there are guests at home or for other needs usually, close the U-shaped flap 7, presenting as shown inFigure 5 The shown structure can effectively prevent the smell from escaping and is relatively beautiful in terms of visual effect. During normal use, it is usually in a semi-open state for the cat to access at any time. Since the U-shaped flap 7, the inner positioning block 8, and the outer positioning block 5 are in an interference fit state under the extrusion of the internal thread sleeve 2 and the locking screw 3, and there is also the existence of the limiting end 9, the U-shaped flap 7 can maintain its current state during the flipping process, that is, it presents an open state at any angle, stops as it is opened, and the limiting end 9 effectively prevents the adjacent U-shaped flaps 7 from flipping too much and disengaging.
[0025] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not impose any formal restrictions on the invention. Any simple modification, equivalent change, or decoration made to the above embodiments based on the technical principle of the present invention still falls within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
