[0047] Example: As Figures 1-27 shown, a litter box that is easy to clean includes an outer basin 100 and a filter basin 200. The outer basin 100 includes a bottom plate 110 and side plates 120 connected to the bottom plate 110. The bottom plate 110 is provided with bumps 111, and a first strip-shaped groove 112 is formed between two adjacent bumps 111. The filter basin 200 includes strip-shaped plates 210 and side walls 220 connected to the strip-shaped plates 210. A second strip-shaped groove 211 is formed between two adjacent strip-shaped plates 210. When in use, the filter basin 200 is placed into the outer basin 100, the bumps 111 are embedded into the second strip-shaped groove 211, and the strip-shaped plates 210 are embedded into the first strip-shaped groove 112. When cat litter is placed into the filter basin 200, the supporting surface formed by the splicing of the bumps 111 and the strip-shaped plates 210 is used to support the cat litter. When the filter basin 200 is taken out, the clumped cat litter is lifted by the strip-shaped plates 210.
[0048] This application includes an outer basin 100 and a filter basin 200. When in use, first place the filter basin 200 into the outer basin 100, the side walls 220 are attached to the side plates 120, the strip-shaped plates 210 are embedded into the first strip-shaped groove 112 on the bottom plate 110, and the upper surface of the strip-shaped plates 210 and the upper surface of the bumps 111 are spliced to form a supporting surface. Then pour the cat litter into the filter basin 200, and the cat litter is located on the supporting surface. After the cat enters the litter box and defecates on the cat litter, the cat excrement will cause the nearby cat litter to clump. When the filter basin 200 is lifted out of the outer basin 100, the clumped cat litter mass is taken out by the strip-shaped plates 210, and the normal cat litter leaks through the second strip-shaped groove 211 and falls into the outer basin 100. Finally, just pour out the taken-out clumped cat litter from the filter basin 200.
[0049] When this application is in use, only by taking out the filter basin 200 from the outer basin 100 can the caked cat litter be separated from the normal cat litter, and there is no need to use a cat litter shovel to scoop up the cat excrement, so the operation is very convenient; in this application, the caked cat litter is carried out by the strip plate 210, so the contact area between the caked cat litter and the strip plate 210 is large, and the caked cat litter will not be damaged and the cat excrement will not stick to the strip plate 210, so the carried caked cat litter can be directly poured out, and there is no need to clean the strip plate 210 additionally; the ordinary cat litter leaks through the second strip groove 211, and the area of the second strip groove 211 is large, so cat litter of any particle size can be applied, and the application range is wide.
[0050] Optionally, the outer basin 100 and the filter basin 200 have the same structure, for example, they can be a cylinder, an elliptic cylinder, a polyhedron or other special-shaped structures. In a possible implementation manner, as Figures 7-9 shown, both the outer basin 100 and the filter basin 200 are rectangular parallelepiped structures, and the outer basin 100 and the filter basin 200 are tubular structures with an open upper end, a closed or semi-closed lower end, and a hollow interior. A plurality of bumps 111 and the first strip grooves 112 are all arranged along the width direction of the bottom plate 110 and penetrate through the entire width direction of the bottom plate 110, and a plurality of strip plates 210 and the second strip grooves 211 are arranged along the width direction of the filter basin 200 and penetrate through the entire width direction of the filter basin 200. A plurality of strip plates 210 form a semi-closed bottom of the filter basin 200, that is, a structure similar to a filter screen is formed.
[0051] As Figures 5-6 shown, when the filter basin 200 is placed in the outer basin 100, the bumps 111 and the strip plates 210 are mutually attached, and the attachment surface of the bumps 111 and the strip plates 210 is an inclined surface. Optionally, the side surfaces of the bumps 111 and the strip plates 210 are mutually attached, and the mutually attached side surfaces are both inclined surfaces, so as to facilitate the placement of the filter basin 200 into the outer basin 100 and the attachment between the filter basin 200 and the outer basin 100.
[0052] As Figure 6 shown, when the filter basin 200 is placed in the outer basin 100, the upper surfaces of the bumps 111 and the strip plates 210 are on the same horizontal plane. That is, the upper surfaces of the bumps 111 and the strip plates 210 are spliced into a support surface for supporting the cat litter. The bumps 111 and the strip plates 210 are mutually attached, and the upper surface of the bumps 111 and the upper surface of the strip plates 210 are on the same horizontal plane, so there will be no gaps between the bumps 111 and the strip plates 210. On the one hand, even if the cat paws at the bottom, there is no risk of hooking the claws. On the other hand, it is convenient for the caked cat litter mass to be carried away by the strip plate 210, and the cat litter mass will not be torn.
[0053] As Figures 12-13As shown, the longitudinal cross-section of the bump 111 and the longitudinal cross-section of the strip plate 210 are both non-right trapezoids. This can ensure that the fitting surface between the bump 111 and the strip plate 210 is an inclined surface.
[0054] As Figure 17 shown, the height H1 of the bump 111 is equal to the height H2 of the strip plate 210, and H1 and H2 are 1 - 8 cm. Optionally, H1 and H2 are 2 - 5 cm. Optionally, H1 and H2 are 3 ± 0.5 cm
[0055] As Figure 17 shown, the longitudinal cross-section of the bump 111 is a first trapezoid, the upper base of the first trapezoid is L1, the lower base is L2, the longitudinal cross-section of the strip plate 210 is a second trapezoid, the upper base of the second trapezoid is L3, the lower base is L4, wherein, L1 is equal to L4, L2 is equal to L3, and L1 < L2. Making the bump 111 and the strip plate 210 trapezoidal can make the bottom plate 110 of the outer basin 100 fit well with the strip plate 210 of the filter basin 200, and the bump 111 has a structure with a narrow top and a wide bottom, and the strip plate 210 has a structure with a wide top and a narrow bottom, which is convenient for the filter basin 200 to be placed, and the actual contact area of the strip plate 210 of the filter basin 200 is large. Even if it adheres to the bottom, when lifting the filter basin 200, the cat litter mass will not be torn. Therefore, the cat litter mass still remains on the filter basin 200, thus realizing the convenient operation of lifting and pouring; there is no need to use a traditional cat litter shovel to shovel the cat litter, thus maximizing the avoidance of cat litter powdering and the situation of poor user experience.
[0056] The first trapezoid and the second trapezoid have the same structure and equal size. Optionally, the first trapezoid and the second trapezoid are isosceles trapezoids with the same structure and equal size. L1 is 2 - 6 cm, and L2 is 4 - 10 cm. Optionally, L1 is 3 - 5 cm, and L2 is 6 - 8 cm.
[0057] As Figures 1-5 shown, the upper end of the side plate 120 is provided with a handle 121 and a flanging 122, an access hole 221 is opened on the side wall 220, the bottom plate 110 is provided with a plurality of convex blocks 111 arranged in parallel, and the filter basin 200 includes a plurality of strip plates 210 arranged in parallel. The handle 121 on the outer basin 100 facilitates the user to pick up the cat litter basin, and the cat enters the cat litter basin through the access hole 221. When the filter basin 200 is placed in the outer basin 100, the convex blocks 111 and the strip plates 210 are arranged at intervals and fit with each other to form a supporting surface for the cat litter.
[0058] In one embodiment, the litter box includes an outer basin 100 and a filtering basin 200, that is, the litter box is of an open type. The filtering basin 200 is placed inside the outer basin 100, and then cat litter is poured into the filtering basin 200. The cat litter is located on the supporting surface. After the cat enters the litter box and urinates and defecates on the cat litter, the excrement of the cat causes the nearby cat litter to form lumps. When the filtering basin 200 is lifted out of the outer basin 100, the lumped cat litter mass is taken out by the strip plate 210, while the normal cat litter leaks through the second strip groove 211 and falls into the outer basin 100. Finally, the taken-out lumped cat litter is poured out of the filtering basin 200. When using it again, the cat litter can be poured out of the outer basin 100, then the filtering basin 200 is placed into the outer basin 100, and then the cat litter is poured into the litter box for standby.
[0059] As Figures 1-9 shown, in another embodiment, the litter box includes two of the outer basins 100 and a filtering basin 200. The two outer basins are respectively defined as a first outer basin and a second outer basin. After the filtering basin 200 is placed inside the first outer basin, the second outer basin is buckled on the first outer basin. The flanging 122 of the first outer basin and the flanging 122 of the second outer basin are mutually attached, and the first outer basin and the second outer basin are fixed by a buckling member. The handle 121 of the first outer basin and the handle 121 of the second outer basin enclose a cavity 123, and the cavity 123 communicates with the access hole 221. Among them, the first outer basin and the second outer basin are only for the convenience of description and are not used as a limitation of the position, that is, the positions of the first outer basin and the second outer basin can be interchanged. In this embodiment, the litter box is of a closed type. The cat enters the litter box through the access hole 221. When it is necessary to pour out the fecal cat litter mass, the second outer basin located above is taken away, then the filtering basin 200 is taken out of the first outer basin and the cat litter mass is poured out. Then the filtering basin 200 is placed into the second outer basin, and the second outer basin containing the filtering basin 200 is buckled on the first outer basin and fixed by buckling with the buckling member. Finally, the litter box is turned over so that the second outer basin is located below the first outer basin, and the cat litter in the first outer basin falls into the second outer basin for standby. The closed litter box is more convenient to use and also reduces the occurrence of sand-carrying.
[0060] It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of this application, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of this application shall be subject to the appended claims.
