Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pet products, in particular to a cat litter box with a tent. Background Art

[0002] Cat litter boxes are mainly used as toilets for pet cats, making it convenient to clean up the pet's urine and feces. Therefore, cat litter boxes are indispensable for people who like to keep pets. Traditional cat litter boxes have a simple structure. Basically, a layer of cat litter is laid in the cat litter box. Every time the pet cat urinates or defecates, the cat litter is stirred to cover it, which requires regular cleaning.

[0003] Since traditional cat litter boxes are open at the top, pet cats are spiritual animals and often need their own privacy when defecating. In addition, during the process of urinating and defecating, the cat litter box is not covered, so the odor of the excrement diffuses into the room, affecting the air quality.

[0004] After searching, a utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN203985429U and patent name "A Cat Toilet Tent" was found. By installing a tent on the cat toilet, the tent can protect the cat from the impact of the odor of excrement on the indoor air quality during the excretion process. The tent has a simple structure and can be disassembled.

[0005] However, in the above technical solution, the tent is formed with slots at the bottom ends of its three side walls. When the tent is installed, it is clamped onto the side wall of the container for cat defecation through the slots at the bottom ends of the three side walls. Since this installation method requires the slots at the bottom ends of the three side walls of the tent to be clamped onto the side walls of the container one by one, the installer needs to pry open the slots at the bottom ends of each side wall before installing it on the side wall of the container during the installation process, which is not convenient enough. At the same time, since the tent is made of plastic, the operator may accidentally use a little force to pry it open outwards during the installation process, which may easily damage the slots and make it impossible to install. In addition, when the tent is subsequently disassembled for cleaning, this method of clamping the three side walls also makes it difficult to disassemble. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the defects in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a cat litter box with a tent to solve the problem of inconvenience in installation and disassembly of the existing cat toilet tent.

[0007] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is as follows:

[0008] A cat litter box with a tent, comprising a cat litter box body, wherein the cat litter box body is detachably provided with a tent;

[0009] Elastic members are provided on opposite sides of the tent, and limiting members corresponding to the elastic members are respectively provided on opposite sides of the litter box body;

[0010] The elastic member and the limiting member are in a clamping fit, so that the tent is installed on the litter box body.

[0011] Furthermore, the tent includes a tent body, a plurality of support skeletons, and a pair of connecting seats. The ends of the support skeletons are hinged to the connecting seats, and the tent body is laid on the outside of the support skeletons;

[0014] The elastic member is disposed on the first support skeleton, and the limiting member is installed on the bottom of the litter box body. After the elastic member and the limiting member are in clamping fit, the first support skeleton is fixed on the bottom plane of the litter box body.

[0015] Furthermore, the tent includes an unfolded state and a folded state;

[0016] When the second support skeleton swings relative to the connecting seat and approaches the first support skeleton, the tent is in the folded state, and the area above the litter box body is in an open state;

[0017] When the second support skeleton swings relative to the connecting seat and moves away from the first support skeleton, the tent is in the unfolded state, and at least part of the area above the litter box body is blocked by the tent body.

[0018] Furthermore, the limiting member is a boss installed on the bottom of the litter box body.

[0019] Furthermore, the diameter of the support skeleton is greater than the width of the litter box body.

[0020] Furthermore, after the tent and the litter box body are assembled, the first support skeleton and the elastic member are flush with the bottom surface of the litter box body.

[0021] Furthermore, the elastic member is a snap ring that horizontally extends from the bottom end of the tent towards the center, and the snap ring is fixedly connected to the support skeleton.

[0022] Furthermore, the height of the support skeleton is greater than the height of the litter box body.

[0023] Furthermore, a clumping cat litter collection box is detachably installed on the cat litter box body, and the tent and the clumping cat litter collection box are respectively located at both ends of the cat litter box body.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0025] 1. By respectively providing an elastic member and a limiting member that are cooperatively clamped and installed at the bottom ends of the opposite sides of the tent and the cat litter box, when the tent is installed, the elastic members at both sides of the bottom end of the tent can be directly clamped on the limiting members at both sides of the bottom end of the cat litter box, so as to realize the fixed installation of the tent on the cat litter box; and when the tent is disassembled, only by removing the elastic member from the limiting member, the disassembly of the tent from the cat litter box can be realized; after adopting the above structure, the installation and disassembly processes between the tent and the cat litter box are simple and convenient;

[0026] 2. By adopting a snap-ring-shaped outer structure for the elastic member, a gap is formed between the elastic member and the edge of the bottom end of the tent, so that when the operator installs the elastic member, the elastic member has better elasticity, and it is more convenient for the operator to clamp and install the elastic member on the limiting member.

[0032] Figure 5 For Figure 4 The partial enlarged structural schematic diagram at position A in Detailed Embodiments

[0033] The present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and the specific embodiments.

[0034] Refer to the attached Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a litter box 100 with a tent, which includes a litter box body 10 and a tent 20. The tent 20 is detachably installed above the litter box body 10.

[0035] Refer to the attached Figure 3 and the attached Figure 4 As shown, elastic members 21 extending towards the center direction are formed at opposite sides of the bottom end of the tent 20. In this embodiment, the elastic member 21 is an approximately "U"-shaped retaining ring extending horizontally from the bottom end of the tent 20 towards the center direction for a certain distance. The opposite ends of the elastic member 21 with openings are fixed at the inner edge of the bottom end of the tent 20. In this way, a gap 22 is formed between the elastic member 21 and the inner edge of the bottom end of the tent 20. Thus, when the operator operates the elastic member 21, the reaction force received by the elastic member 21 is small, which is convenient for installing the elastic member 21 on the limiting member 11 at the bottom end of the litter box. When the tent 20 is disassembled, the elastic member 21 only needs to be removed from the limiting member 11, and the disassembly of the tent 20 from the litter box can be realized. The installation and disassembly process between the tent 20 and the litter box is simple and convenient.

[0036] In some embodiments, the elastic member 21 is made of steel wire. It can be understood that the steel wire has good hardness and certain elasticity. Of course, the elastic member 21 can also be made of other materials similar to the steel wire material, which is not limited. In this way, when the operator installs the tent 20 on the litter box or removes the tent 20 from the litter box, when the operator operates the elastic member 21 made of steel wire, the elastic member 21 can be pulled inward, so that the elastic member 21 can be sleeved on the limiting member 11 at the bottom end of the litter box or fall off from the limiting member 11.

[0037] Refer to the attached Figure 4 and the attached Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the limiting members 11 at both sides of the bottom end of the litter box are cylindrical bosses, and the top ends of the bosses are fixedly installed at the bottom end of the litter box body 10. In some embodiments, the number of the bosses is at least one pair, and multiple bosses are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the elastic member 21. The arrangement of multiple bosses enables the elastic member 21 to be in contact with multiple bosses at the same time, so as to limit and clamp the elastic member 21. Therefore, the installation of the fastening member at the bottom end of the litter box is more stable, and the elastic member 21 is not easily detached from the bottom end of the litter box.

[0038] Continue to refer to the attached Figure 3 and the attached Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the tent 20 includes a tent body 50, a plurality of support skeletons 30, and a pair of connecting seats 40. The tent body 50 has two ends with opposite openings. The plurality of support skeletons 30 are evenly spaced along the direction from one opening end of the support skeleton to the other opening end. The tent body 50 is fixedly installed on the outer end faces of the plurality of support skeletons 30. The support skeleton 30 has an inverted "U" - shaped outer structure. The two ends with opposite openings of the support skeleton 30 are respectively hinged to the pair of connecting seats 40, that is, the pair of connecting seats 40 are arranged on the left and right sides of the tent body 50. In this embodiment, the tent body 50 should have certain wear resistance and waterproofness. For example, the tent body 50 is made of Oxford cloth.

[0039] Among them, the diameter of the support skeleton 30 is greater than the width of the litter box body 10, and the height of the support skeleton 30 is greater than the height of the litter box body 10;

[0040] The elastic member 21 is installed on the support skeleton 30. When the support skeleton 30 contracts and deforms, it can provide the clamping force required for clamping fit to the elastic member 21.

[0041] Specifically, the support skeleton 30 includes a first support skeleton 30a, a second support skeleton 30b, and an intermediate support skeleton 30c arranged between the first support skeleton 30a and the second support skeleton 30b;

[0042] In this embodiment, the elastic member 21 is arranged on the first support skeleton 30a, and the limiting member 11 is installed at the bottom of the litter box body 10. When the tent 20 is installed on the litter box body 10, the first support skeleton 30a or the connecting seat 40 is relatively squeezed, so that the two elastic members 21 approach each other. After the two elastic members 21 are clamped and fitted with the limiting member 11, the first support skeleton 30a or the connecting seat 40 is released. Under the restoring elastic force of the first support skeleton 30a, the elastic member 21 is clamped and fitted with the limiting member 11. After the elastic member 21 is clamped and fitted with the limiting member 11, the first support skeleton 30a is fixed on the bottom plane of the litter box body 10, providing a support surface for the installation of the tent 20.

[0043] After installation, the tent 20 includes an unfolded state and a folded state. Specifically, when the second support skeleton 30b swings relative to the connecting seat 40 and approaches the first support skeleton 30a, the tent is in the folded state, and the area above the litter box body 10 is in an open state, which is convenient for cleaning the clumped cat litter (the clumped cat litter mixed with the feces of the pet cat) inside the litter box body 10.

[0044] When the second support skeleton 30b swings relative to the connecting seat 40 and moves away from the first support skeleton 30a, the tent 20 is in the unfolded state, and at least part of the area above the litter box body 10 is blocked by the tent body 50, which is convenient for providing a shaded and resting area for the pet cat in the litter box body 10.

[0045] In some embodiments, a clumping cat litter collection box 60 is detachably installed on the cat litter box body 10. The tent 20 and the clumping cat litter collection box 60 are respectively located at two ends of the cat litter box body 10. The tent 20 provides a shaded rest area for the pet cat at one end of the cat litter box body 10, and the clumping cat litter collection box 60 collects the clumping cat litter at the other end of the cat litter box body 10. The tent 20 and the clumping cat litter collection box 60 do not interfere with each other during use.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
