[0005] Preferably, in the above-mentioned intelligent cat litter box, a limiting plate is arranged on one side of the wire clamping plate away from the gap.

[0006] Preferably, in the above-mentioned intelligent cat litter box, the length of the clip piece is equivalent to the distance between the limiting plates.

[0007] Preferably, in the above-mentioned intelligent cat litter box, a protective sleeve is further included in the terminal part of the motor.

[0008] The utility model also provides a wire fixing device, including: a movable part and a fixed part; the fixed part includes a wire clamping plate, the wire clamping plate is provided with a wire clamping gap, and the wire clamping plate is fixed on the wiring path; the movable part is in the shape of a clip, including two clip pieces, and notches are respectively arranged on the two clip pieces, and the width of the notches is equivalent to that of the gap.

[0009] Preferably, in the above-mentioned wire fixing device, a limiting plate is arranged on one side of the wire clamping plate away from the gap.

[0010] Preferably, in the above wire fixing device, the length of the clip is equivalent to the distance between the limiting plates.

[0011] The intelligent litter box of the present utility model adopts a new wire fixing device, which stabilizes the wires on the wiring path, enhances the wire life, and has clear wiring. In addition, according to the preferred embodiment, a protective sleeve is installed on the terminal part of the motor, reducing the risk of dust accumulation damaging the circuit. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0012] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of the intelligent litter box of the present utility model;

[0013] Figure 2 shown is an exploded view of the wire fixing device of the present utility model;

[0014] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the wire fixing device of the present utility model in an assembled state. Detailed Embodiment

[0015] The following uses specific examples to illustrate the embodiments of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. The present utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments. Various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.

[0016] Please refer to the drawings below. It should be noted that the diagrams provided in this embodiment only illustrate the basic concept of the present utility model in a schematic manner. Therefore, only the components related to the present utility model are shown in the diagrams, rather than being drawn according to the number, shape, and size of the components in actual implementation. The type, quantity, and ratio of each component in actual implementation can be arbitrarily changed, and the component layout type may also be more complex. Unless otherwise specified, the words "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc. indicating directions in the text are all referenced from the perspective of the observer of the drawings.

[0017] First refer to Figure 1 . Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an intelligent litter box of the present utility model, the inside of which includes a motor 1 and several wires 2 (the wires here are in a broad sense, which can be conductive wires or signal wires, the same below). The wires are fixed on the wiring path preset in the housing through a fixing device 3.

[0018] Next refer to Figure 2Describe the specific structure of the wire fixing device 3. The wire fixing device 3 includes a movable part 31 and a fixed part 32. The fixed part 32 is fixed on the wire routing path such as the housing and the base, and includes two wire clamping plates 321 arranged opposite to each other. There is a gap between the two wire clamping plates 321 for accommodating the wire 2. The movable part 31 is in the shape of a clip and includes two clip pieces 311. The gap between the two clip pieces 311 is smaller than the thickness of the wire clamping plate 321, and the two clip pieces 311 have a certain elasticity. When the movable part 31 is pressed downward and the wire clamping plate 321 is placed between the two clip pieces 311, the movable part can be clamped on the wire clamping plate 321. Notches 312 are respectively formed on the two clip pieces 311, and the width of the notches 312 is equivalent to the width of the gap between the wire clamping plates 321.

[0019] During use, first place the wire 2 in the gap between the wire clamping plates 321, then place the wire clamping plate 321 between the two clip pieces 311, and press the movable part 31 from top to bottom along the z-axis to align the gap between the wire clamping plates with the notches 312, so as to fix the wire 2. The assembled wire fixing device is shown in Figure 3 .

[0020] To prevent the movable part 31 from moving in the y-axis direction, preferably, a limit plate 322 is provided on the side of the wire clamping plate 321 away from the gap. More preferably, the length of the clip piece 311 can be set to be equivalent to the distance between the two limit plates 322, so as to facilitate the quick alignment and installation of the movable part 311.

[0021] In addition, considering that dust accumulation in parts such as the terminal of the motor 1 may also cause problems such as short circuits, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a protective sleeve 4 is further installed on parts such as the terminal of the motor (see Figure 1 ).

[0022] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. For example, the wire clamping plate 321 can be set as one piece and a concave notch can be formed in the middle to replace the gap between the two wire clamping plates in this embodiment, and it can also play a role in fixing the wire. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical idea disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
