Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pet appliances, and more specifically, to a cat litter shovel handle and a cat litter shovel. Background Technique

[0002] People like to raise cats, and cats, which are naturally clean-loving, generally have the habit of excreting on sandy ground. Therefore, cat owners usually prepare a cat litter box at home and place cat litter in the cat litter box as a place to train cats to excrete. However, after the cat litter is contaminated with the cat's excrement, it often forms lumps and emits a foul smell, so it needs to be cleaned, replenished, discarded or replaced. At this time, the cat owner generally uses a cat litter shovel with holes at the bottom to clean, so that the unclumped cat litter flows out of the holes and the clumped cat litter is shaved off, so as to achieve the cleaning effect.

[0003] To solve the problem of the peculiar smell of cat excrement, the market generally optimizes the supporting facilities for the cat litter box, such as adding deodorants, deodorant fragrances, etc. in the cat litter box to cover the peculiar smell, or adding a ventilation fan to accelerate ventilation, etc. However, such a design requires major changes to the overall structure of the cat litter box, destroying the simple structure of the cat litter box itself. It is not only inconvenient for production and installation, but also more difficult to fully clean the box body after the cat litter box structure becomes complex. Especially for a closed cat litter box, the deodorant fragrance and the cat litter smell will be more unpleasant after being mixed for a long time. There are also various cleaning aids on the market, but independent cleaning supplies are often stored separately and are not convenient to use at any time during cleaning, and the situation of forgetting to spray often occurs.

[0004] The patent with the publication number CN214546385U provides a cat litter shovel combined with a photocatalyst spray can. A spray can containing a photocatalyst spray liquid with silver nanoparticles is directly arranged on the handle of the cat litter shovel. When using the cat litter shovel, the spray can can be directly pressed to spray the photocatalyst spray liquid with silver nanoparticles onto the cat litter to eliminate the peculiar smell. Shoveling the cat litter is the scene where the user is closest to the cat litter smell. This design combines the spray can directly with the cat litter shovel, which can spray in time. However, installing the spray can structure on the handle makes the installation structure relatively complex, which is not only inconvenient for installation and operation, but also makes the structure of the cat litter shovel not concise enough, which is not conducive to user use. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] 1. Technical Problems to be Solved by the Utility Model

[0006] In view of the obvious peculiar smell when users clean the cat litter and the relatively complex conventional deodorization design in the prior art, the utility model intends to provide a cat litter shovel handle and a cat litter shovel. By optimizing the handle, it helps to relieve the peculiar smell when shoveling the cat litter, and the overall structure of the cat litter shovel is compact and the shape is concise, which is more convenient for users to use.

[0007] 2. Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above object, the technical solution provided by the present utility model is as follows:

[0009] A handle of a cat litter shovel of the present utility model, as Design 1: A spray assembly is provided on the handle. An accommodation cavity for accommodating spray liquid is formed inside the handle, and the accommodation cavity is formed by the inner side of the handle housing; the spray assembly includes a circuit control board, a control switch and an atomizer both electrically connected to the circuit control board. The atomizer is arranged on the handle and communicated with the accommodation cavity, and a spray port for spraying the spray is provided on the handle; the control switch is arranged on the surface of the handle, and a liquid injection channel communicated with the accommodation cavity is provided on the handle.

[0010] When shoveling cat litter, it is the scene where the user is closest to the source of the odor. In this application, a spray assembly is provided on the handle of the cat litter shovel, and the spray and the handle are integrally designed. Each time the cat litter is shoveled, it has a built-in spray function, without the need to be placed separately from each other, and it is not easy to forget to spray. Preferably, the atomizer is directly arranged at the front end of the handle and directly sprays towards the shoveling surface area. During the process of shoveling cat litter, the cat litter is fragile and easy to crack, and it also needs to be shaken and screened during shoveling, so it is easier to have the situation of odor diffusion and dust raising. By directly spraying the shoveling area, dust raising can be effectively prevented, and the odor can be covered up. In practice, a fragrance can be added to the accommodation cavity to further use the fragrance to cover the odor of the cat litter and reduce the discomfort of the user. Moreover, the electric spray form has a high degree of automation and is more convenient and easy to operate.

[0011] In this design, the accommodation cavity is formed by the inner side of the handle housing, including that the accommodation cavity is directly surrounded by the whole handle housing, and the inner wall of the handle housing is used as the inner wall of the accommodation cavity; or partitions are additionally arranged at both ends inside the handle housing, and the two end partitions and the circumferential inner wall of the handle housing jointly surround the accommodation cavity and other forms. The key is to set the inside of the handle as a cavity structure and use the cavity as the accommodation cavity for storing spray liquid, make full use of the inner cavity space of the handle, maximize the storage space, reduce the liquid injection frequency, and avoid the need for frequent liquid injection during the process of shoveling cat litter, etc.; and there is no obvious change to the cat litter shovel in terms of the overall shape, especially there is no obvious addition to the appearance of the handle, and it is still convenient for the user to normally grasp and use the cat litter shovel. The cat litter shovel has a compact structure and a concise shape.

[0012] This design uses an atomizer for atomization treatment, and the circuit control board controls to realize automatic continuous spraying of electricity. The user operation is convenient. After the switch is started, the spraying state can be maintained throughout the process of shoveling cat litter, without the user frequently starting the switch; the atomizer spray particle size is fine and the spreading feeling is strong, which can improve the visual experience of the user when shoveling cat litter, and it will not wet the cat litter and cause the cat litter to adhere to the shovel body and affect subsequent cleaning.

[0013] In practice, it is further preferably to arrange the circuit control board in the inner cavity of the handle. Specifically, an installation cavity is provided inside the handle, and the circuit control board is arranged in this installation cavity. Moreover, the installation cavity is hermetically isolated from the accommodation cavity. For example, the installation cavity and the accommodation cavity can be hermetically isolated by using surrounding partitions, and gaskets can be set during the installation of the circuit through holes, etc., to achieve the sealing protection of the circuit control board and avoid the liquid in the accommodation cavity entering the installation cavity and affecting the safety of the circuit control.

[0014] In practical applications, during the process of the user shoveling cat litter, the angle position of the cat litter shovel will change, such as being held horizontally or obliquely, etc., and the liquid level of the sprayed liquid stored inside the handle will also change. Especially when the amount of the sprayed liquid has decreased after use, when the cat litter shovel is tilted upwards, the sprayed liquid will gather backwards, and it may occur that the front spray sheet cannot fully contact the sprayed liquid, resulting in poor spray continuity. To improve the spraying effect of the spraying assembly, further, the handle includes a handle body. At one end of the handle body close to the shovel body, a bottom extension part preferably extending downwards is provided. An expansion cavity communicating with the accommodation cavity and located below the accommodation cavity is formed inside the bottom extension part. The atomizer is communicated with the expansion cavity. Preferably, the atomizer is arranged at the front end of the expansion cavity. When the handle body is in a horizontal state, the lowest position of the expansion cavity is lower than the lowest position of the accommodation cavity. By providing the downwardly extending expansion cavity, a part of the sprayed liquid can be stored. Even when the amount of the sprayed liquid in the handle decreases or the user holds it obliquely, it can be ensured that there is still a part of the sprayed liquid remaining in the expansion cavity, so that the spray sheet can fully contact the sprayed liquid and continuously spray. Based on this, further preferably, the cross-sectional area of the opening of the expansion cavity gradually decreases from top to bottom. When specifically setting, the bottom extension part can be selected to gradually extend obliquely downwards along the direction close to the shovel body, so that the cross-sectional area of the opening of the formed expansion cavity gradually decreases from top to bottom. In this way, when the amount of the sprayed liquid in the handle is insufficient, under the same conditions, the liquid level of the sprayed liquid stored in the expansion cavity can be raised as much as possible, so that the sprayed liquid can contact the spray sheet to meet the requirement of continuous spraying. In practice, it is preferably to use a light-transmitting material for the handle, such as a transparent or semi-transparent material, etc., so that the internal liquid level can be directly observed, which is convenient for the user to inject liquid in time for replenishment.

[0015] To ensure the convenience of using the cat litter scoop, the longitudinal direction of the handle is defined as the front-back direction. Further, the end of the handle closer to the scoop body is the front end. A front panel is provided at the front end of the handle. An isolation cavity is formed inside the front panel and extends backward from the front end of the handle for a certain distance. The atomizer is located at the rear end of the isolation cavity, so that there is a certain distance between the atomizer and the rear end face of the scoop body in the front-back direction. During the operation of shoveling cat litter, the cat litter gradually accumulates at the rear end of the scoop body. The isolation cavity can effectively protect the atomizer, preventing the cat litter from reaching the atomizer and causing blockage of the atomizer, which affects the atomization effect, and also avoiding the adhesion of cat litter at the spray outlet, which affects the self-cleanliness of the cat litter scoop. The isolation cavity can be further designed as a conical cavity with a gradually decreasing opening area from front to back, which not only has the function of protecting the spray outlet but also promotes the effective diffusion of the spray to the front area of the scoop body. Further, a front extension part extending towards the scoop body is provided at the top of the handle. The front extension part is located above the atomizer. Both the front extension part and the isolation cavity have a certain guiding effect to promote the effective diffusion of the spray. At the same time, a hook structure can be formed between the front extension part and the scoop body, which is convenient for users to hook the whole cat litter scoop on the cat litter box for easy placement.

[0016] In this solution, it is preferred that the control switch is sealed and installed on the surface wall of the handle. For example, a sealing gasket can be specifically set at the installation position of the control switch, so that the control switch is installed in a closed manner on the surface of the handle without gaps, effectively preventing dust and other substances from entering, and also avoiding the delicate spray from entering the internal circuit and affecting the circuit safety, thus achieving waterproof and dustproof functions. Further, the control switch can be a push-button switch or a touch-sensitive switch. For the push-button switch, continuous spraying starts after pressing, and pressing again to close after the end. At this time, the push-button switch can be set at any position on the handle. For the touch-sensitive switch, the user's finger is always in the sensing area during the operation of shoveling cat litter, and the finger leaves the sensing area after the shoveling is finished. At this time, the touch-sensitive switch can be set in the area corresponding to the finger in the comfortable holding state of the user, such as the area where the thumb is located. Optionally, when the control switch is a touch-sensitive switch, a main control switch electrically connected to the circuit control board is also provided on the handle. The control switch can only be started after the main control switch is turned on, so as to avoid accidental activation by mistake.

[0017] Furthermore, in this design, the handle body includes an upper handle housing and a lower handle housing, and the two can be detachably connected. The upper handle housing and the lower handle housing together form an accommodation cavity. The control switch and the liquid injection channel are both arranged at the top surface position of the upper handle housing, and the control switch is located at one end of the upper handle housing close to the shovel body. Further optionally, a charging port is also provided on the top surface of the upper handle housing, and sealing gaskets are provided on both the charging port and the liquid injection channel for sealing. Placing the control switch on the top surface of the upper handle housing and being able to be at one end close to the shovel body makes the control switch in the habitual placement area of the thumb or index finger when the user grasps the handle, facilitating the user to operate the control switch. Especially when using a touch-sensitive switch, the comfortable placement area of the user's thumb or index finger is the touch-sensitive area, facilitating the realization of continuous spray control during the entire sand shoveling process. Setting the charging port and the liquid injection channel at the top surface position is convenient for liquid injection and charging operations, and also avoids water seepage. Further, fixing holes for fixedly installing the sealing gasket can be provided at the top surface position, and the charging port, the fixing holes, and the liquid injection channel are sequentially covered and sealed by the sealing gasket to prevent water and dust. In practice, the handle body can also be selected as an integral structure.

[0018] The present utility model also provides a cat litter shovel handle, as Design Two: An internal cavity for accommodating a spray assembly is provided inside the handle. The spray assembly includes a spray body, a circuit control board, a control switch and an atomizer both electrically connected to the circuit control board. The spray body has an accommodation cavity capable of accommodating spray liquid. The atomizer is arranged on the spray body and is communicated with the accommodation cavity. Spray ports for spraying the spray are correspondingly provided on both the spray body and the handle. The control switch is arranged on the spray body, and a liquid injection channel communicated with the accommodation cavity is provided on the spray body.

[0019] Different from the aforementioned Design One, in the aforementioned Design One, the internal cavity of the handle is directly used as the accommodation cavity for accommodating the spray liquid, and the control switch, the atomizer, the liquid injection channel, etc. are directly arranged on the handle. The spray assembly and the handle are of an integral structure. However, in this Design Two, the spray assembly is set as a separate component. The internal cavity of the handle is only used as the installation cavity for accommodating the spray assembly. The spray assembly itself has an accommodation cavity for accommodating the spray liquid, and is provided with structures such as a circuit control board, a control switch, an atomizer, a liquid injection channel, etc. Spray ports for spraying the spray are correspondingly provided on both the spray body and the handle. At this time, the handle forms the outer shell structure of the spray assembly. When the spray assembly needs to be filled with liquid, the spray assembly can be taken out separately for liquid injection.

[0020] The present utility model also provides a cat litter shovel, which has the handle as described in Design 1 above, and also has a shovel body. The front end of the handle is connected to the shovel body. After long-term use, the shovel body part of the cat litter shovel is prone to damage and breakage. To reduce the use cost, it is preferably to set the connection between the handle and the shovel body as a detachable connection, such as using bolt connection or snap connection, etc. It is possible to choose to only replace the shovel body part, while the handle part with the spray assembly can be recycled, effectively reducing the use cost and avoiding waste of resources.

[0021] The present utility model also provides a cat litter shovel, which has the handle as described in Design 2 above, and also has a shovel body. The front end of the handle is connected to the shovel body. Similarly, it is preferably to set the connection between the handle and the shovel body as a detachable connection.

[0036] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments.

[0037] Embodiment

[0038] Combined with Figures 1-5 , a handle of a cat litter shovel in this embodiment, as Design One: a spray assembly is provided on the handle 200. The handle 200 has an accommodation cavity 217 for accommodating spray liquid inside, and the accommodation cavity 217 is formed by the inner side of the handle 200 housing; the spray assembly includes a circuit control board 220, and a control switch 221 and an atomizer 222 both electrically connected to the circuit control board 220. The atomizer 222 is arranged on and communicates with the accommodation cavity 217. In this embodiment, it is preferably that the atomizer 222 is arranged at the front end position of the handle 200 close to the shovel body 100 direction, as Figure 1 shown in, and a spray port for spraying the spray is correspondingly provided at the front end of the handle 200. The control switch 221 is arranged on the surface of the handle 200, and a liquid injection channel 214 communicating with the accommodation cavity 217 is provided on the handle 200.

[0039] In this embodiment, an electric control spray form is adopted. After the control switch 221 is started, continuous spraying can be realized, and fragrance liquid can be injected into the accommodation cavity. The fragrance spray is used to effectively cover the odor of the cat litter. During the process of shoveling the cat litter, it can not only avoid dust flying but also deodorize, optimizing the user experience. Moreover, the spray fineness and spreading feeling of the atomizer 222 are relatively strong, enhancing the overall visual experience of the user.

[0040] In this embodiment, the circuit control board 220 can be selectively arranged inside the handle 200. Specifically, an installation cavity is provided inside the handle 200, and the circuit control board 220 is arranged in this installation cavity, and the installation cavity is hermetically isolated from the accommodation cavity 217, effectively ensuring the circuit safety and preventing water from entering the installation cavity. In practice, a power supply component is also provided on the circuit control board 220 for supplying power to the circuit control board 220, the control switch 221, and the atomizer 222. The atomizer 222 can specifically adopt an atomization sheet. The atomization principle and circuit connection method of the atomization sheet both belong to the well-known technologies in the industry and will not be elaborated here.

[0041] Preferably, in combination with Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, the handle 200 includes a handle body 210. A bottom extension portion 213 extending downward is provided at a position near the front end of the handle body 210 close to the shovel body 100. An expansion chamber 218 that communicates with the accommodation chamber 217 and is located below the accommodation chamber 217 is formed inside the bottom extension portion 213. The atomizer 222 communicates with the expansion chamber 218. Preferably, the atomizer 222 is arranged at the front end of the expansion chamber 218. When the handle body 210 is in a horizontal state, the lowest position of the expansion chamber 218 is lower than the lowest position of the accommodation chamber 217. The expansion chamber 218 also serves as a liquid spraying storage chamber. The flowing liquid spraying will first concentrate and gather in the lower expansion chamber 218, always keeping in contact with the atomizer 222, ensuring continuous spraying. Especially when the amount of liquid spraying decreases or the user tilts the cat litter shovel to make the liquid spraying flow backward, a certain amount of liquid spraying can still be retained in the expansion chamber 218 to ensure the continuity of spraying. Further, the cross-sectional area of the opening of the expansion chamber 218 gradually decreases from top to bottom. Optionally, the bottom extension portion 213 is arranged to gradually extend downward along the direction close to the shovel body 100. In the case of the same amount of liquid spraying, the liquid spraying liquid level height is further increased to make it fully contact with the atomizer 222. Further, the handle 200 can be made of a light-transmitting material, such as a transparent or semi-transparent material, so that the user can observe the internal liquid level situation at any time and replenish the liquid injection in time.

[0042] Such as Figure 2As shown in the figure, further, in this embodiment, a front panel 230 is further provided at the front end position of the handle 200 close to the shovel body 100. An isolation cavity 231 is provided inside the front panel 230. The isolation cavity 231 extends backward from the rear end of the shovel body 100. The atomizer 222 is located at the end of the isolation cavity 231 away from the shovel body 100, that is, at the rear end position. More precisely, the front end of the handle 200 has a front sealing plate to close the internal accommodation cavity 217, and an installation position is provided on the front sealing plate for fitting and installing the atomizer 222. The atomizer 222 is communicated with the internal accommodation cavity 217 to ensure that it can contact the internal spraying liquid. The front panel 230 is correspondingly located in front of the front sealing plate. Specifically, it can be in the form of a buckle and is embedded inwardly into the inner side of the bottom extension part 213 and abuts against the front of the front sealing plate, further ensuring the stability of the installation position of the atomizer 222. Moreover, the rear end port of the isolation cavity 231 inside the front panel 230 corresponds to the position of the atomizer 222, forming a spray port for the spray to eject. The isolation cavity 231 pulls a certain axial distance between the spray port position where the atomizer 222 is located and the rear end face of the shovel body 100, so that the atomizer 222 is hidden inside the isolation cavity 231, preventing the cat litter from contacting the position of the atomizer 222 and preventing problems such as blockage of the atomizer 222 or difficult cleaning due to cat litter adhesion. In addition, a front extension part 212 extending in the direction close to the shovel body 100 can be selectively provided at the top of the front end of the handle 200. The front extension part 212 is located above the atomizer 222. The front extension part 212 has a certain guiding effect to prevent the spray from overflowing, promoting the concentrated forward distribution of the spray. Moreover, the front extension part 212 also forms a protruding hook structure, which can be used to hook and place the cat litter shovel on the cat litter box. In addition, through holes can also be provided at the rear end of the handle 200 for easy hanging and placing.

[0043] Furthermore, in practice, there is a sealing installation part between the control switch 221 and the surface wall of the handle 200. For example, a sealing gasket is used as the sealing installation part for surrounding closed installation, etc., to avoid gaps around the control switch 221, so as to achieve the waterproof and dustproof of the cat litter shovel. Especially in this application, the cat litter shovel is used in a spraying environment, and the closed design further effectively prevents water from entering and affecting the circuit safety. And as for the control switch 221, a push-button switch or a touch-sensitive switch can be selected. Pressing the push-button switch once can turn on the spraying function, and pressing it again can turn it off. For the touch-sensitive switch, the user always touches it with a finger during the process of shoveling the cat litter and can leave the contact after the shoveling is completed. Moreover, the touch-sensitive operation method is more conducive to improving the user experience.

[0044] As one of the specific design forms of the handle 200, such as Figure 2As shown, the handle body 210 includes an upper handle housing 210a and a lower handle housing 210b. The upper handle housing 210a and the lower handle housing 210b together enclose a receiving cavity 217. The control switch 221 and the liquid injection channel 214 are both disposed on the top surface of the upper handle housing 210a. The control switch 221 is located at one end of the upper handle housing 210a close to the shovel body 100, and the liquid injection channel 214 is located at one end of the upper handle housing 210a away from the shovel body 100. In this embodiment, the cat litter shovel is designed for charging. A charging port 216 and a fixing hole 215 for fixedly installing the gasket 211 are also provided on the top surface of the upper handle housing 210a. The gasket 211 covers the charging port 216, the fixing hole 215 and the liquid injection channel 214 for sealing, effectively preventing dust and water.

[0045] Based on the above design, this embodiment also provides a cat litter shovel, which includes the handle 200 in the above Design 1 and further includes a shovel body 100. The front end of the handle 200 is connected to the shovel body 100. In practice, when the cat litter shovel is used for a long time, the shovel body 100 is prone to damage and breakage. Currently, in the industry, the whole cat litter shovel is generally replaced. In this design, the handle 200 has both the functions of being grasped by hand and spray control, and is more suitable for long-term repeated use, so as to reduce the use cost and reduce resource waste. Therefore, it is preferred that the handle 200 and the shovel body 100 are detachably connected. Specifically, bolts or buckles can be used for connection, such as Figure 2 As shown, an installation part 150 can be provided at the rear end of the shovel body 100. An embedding groove is opened in the installation part 150. A connecting part 240 capable of being embedded in the installation part 150 is correspondingly provided at the bottom of the front end of the handle 200. The connecting part 240 and the installation part 150 can be further fastened by bolts to realize the flexible disassembly of the handle 200 and the shovel body 100, and the user can replace the shovel body 100 alone. It should also be noted that when the detachable connection is adopted, the top surface height of the installation part 150 in this application is the same as the top surface height of the rear end of the shovel body 100. More precisely, the top surface height of the peripheral enclosure of the installation part 150 is the same as that of the rear end of the shovel body 100. After the bottom end of the handle 200 is fitted and embedded in the installation part 150, the bottom end of the bottom extension part 213 is flush with the top surface of the enclosure at the rear end of the shovel body 100, and the front end of the front panel 230 is also exactly flush with the inner side wall surface of the rear end enclosure of the shovel body 100 in the vertical direction. The inner side mentioned here refers to the front side wall surface of the rear end enclosure of the shovel body 100, so that the splicing between the handle 200 and the top surface of the shovel body 100 enclosure is smooth and there are no gap slots, etc., to avoid cat litter sticking to the assembly area of the two.

[0046] This embodiment also provides a handle for a cat litter scoop, as Design Two: an internal cavity for accommodating a spray assembly is formed inside the handle 200. The spray assembly includes a spray body, a circuit control board 220, a control switch 221 and an atomizer 222 that are all electrically connected to the circuit control board 220. A receiving cavity 217 capable of accommodating spray liquid is provided inside the spray body. The atomizer 222 is disposed on the spray body and is in communication with the receiving cavity 217. Spray outlets for the spray to eject are respectively provided on the spray body and the handle 200. The control switch 221 is disposed on the spray body, and a liquid injection channel 214 communicating with the receiving cavity 217 is provided on the spray body.
