[0051] Referring to Figures 1 to 21 , the working principle of the self-cleaning cat litter box of the present utility model that automatically slides and flips to shovel feces and open the cover is as follows:
[0052] The right sliding motor 832 drives the right sliding driving wheel 51 to rotate, and the right sliding driving wheel 51 drives the right sliding driven wheel 52 to rotate. At the same time, the left sliding motor 821 drives the left sliding driving wheel 51 to rotate, and the left sliding driving wheel 51 drives the left sliding driven wheel 52 to rotate, so that the left and right two sliding driven wheels 52 rotate synchronously, controlling the left sliding seat 6, the right sliding seat 7, the trash bin 2, the feces shovel 3 and the trash cover 85 to slide forward on the basin body 1 together. At this time, the feces shovel 3 pushes the cat excrement in the basin body 1 forward, so that the cat excrement gathers;
[0053] When the cat excrement gathers at the arc-shaped front wall of the basin body 1, the flipping motor 831 drives the flipping driving wheel 41 to rotate. The flipping driving wheel 41 drives the second driven wheel 45 to rotate in sequence through the second gear 46, the third gear 441 and the fourth gear 442, and then drives the trash cover 85 to flip upward, opening the trash bin 2. At the same time, the flipping driving wheel 41 drives the first driven wheel 43 to rotate in sequence through the first double gear 422 and the first gear 421. The first driven wheel 43 drives the limiting wheel 521 to rotate synchronously, and then drives the feces shovel 3 to flip upward, shoveling up the cat excrement. When the feces shovel 3 and the trash cover 85 flip upward 180 degrees together, the cat excrement on the feces shovel 3 can slide smoothly into the trash bin 2 (refer to Figure 21 ), the feces shoveling is completed, and the feces shovel 3 and the trash cover 85 rotate back to the reset position synchronously and slide backward until the trash bin 2 is located on the boss 11 of the basin body 1;
[0054] When the cat excrement in the trash bin 2 is full, the user can manually flip the trash cover 85 upward to open the trash bin 2. At this time, the trash cover 85 drives the second driven wheel 45 to rotate, and then drives the fourth gear 442 to rotate relative to the third gear 441, and at the same time makes a "clicking" sound; the user can also use the flipping motor 831 to drive the trash cover 85 and the feces shovel 3 to flip upward together to open the trash bin 2. After the trash bin 2 is opened, the fixed frame 21 can be directly taken out to replace the garbage bag in the trash bin 2;
[0055] When the user needs to remove the feces shovel 3, first use the flipping motor 831 to drive the garbage cover 85 and the feces shovel 3 to flip upward together, so that the bent part at the right end of the rotating shaft 31 and the limiting hole 522 of the limiting wheel 521 are both facing upward. Then, pull out the two inserts 9 to release the blocking part at the upper end of the rotating shaft 31. At this time, the feces shovel 3 can be manually taken out along the left slot 611 and the right slot 711;
[0056] When the user needs to install the feces shovel 3, manually install the feces shovel 3 back, then insert the two inserts 9, and the flipping motor 831 rotates in reverse to drive the garbage cover 85 and the feces shovel 3 to flip downward and reset together, and the feces shovel 3 can return to its original position;
[0057] The self-cleaning litter box of the present utility model that automatically slides, flips the feces shovel, and opens the cover realizes the automation of a series of operations such as feces shoveling, collection, and capping through a clever mechanical structure design, greatly improving the user experience. During the working process, the garbage bin 2, the feces shovel 3, and the garbage cover 85 are regarded as a whole and slide along the basin body 1 under the guidance of the sliding seat. The feces shovel 3 first slides in the basin body 1 to gather the cat excrement into a pile. Subsequently, the flipping drive mechanism 4 drives the feces shovel 3 and the garbage cover 85 to flip simultaneously. During this process, the garbage cover 85 is opened, and the opening of the garbage bin 2 is exposed; at the same time, the feces shovel 3 shovels up the gathered excrement and sends it into the garbage bin 2. After the feces shoveling action is completed, the flipping drive mechanism 4 works again to reset the feces shovel 3 and the garbage cover 85, and the garbage cover 85 closes the garbage bin 2 again to ensure that the garbage does not leak out and keep the litter box clean and hygienic.
[0058] The self-cleaning litter box of the present utility model that automatically slides, flips the feces shovel, and opens the cover realizes the full automation of the litter box cleaning process through an integrated mechanical structure and an intelligent control system. It not only simplifies the cleaning process, improves the cleaning efficiency, but also greatly reduces the complexity and labor intensity of manual operation. At the same time, since the garbage cover 85 is synchronously covered during the cleaning process, it effectively avoids the diffusion of odor and the spread of germs in the garbage bin 2, creating a healthier and more comfortable living environment for pets and pet owners.
[0059] The above-disclosed are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and the scope of the patent protection of the present utility model cannot be limited by this. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the scope of the patent application of the present utility model still fall within the scope covered by the present utility model.
