Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to an inclined rotating cat litter box, which is applicable to the technical field of pet equipment. Background Art

[0002] A cat litter box is a pet device used to provide a safe place for cats to defecate. Cat litter boxes with a simple structure, automatic cleaning, and ease of cleaning are highly preferred. Existing cat litter boxes generally fall into two categories: flat scoop-type litter boxes with a bucket or rake, and those with a rotating mechanism that allows the litter bin to rotate for easy cleaning. However, these existing litter boxes are generally complex in structure. While they can automatically clean, they are difficult to disassemble and clean, resulting in poor performance.

[0003] CN118216435A discloses a self-cleaning litter box that includes a movable rake. The rake's control mechanism allows for control of the rake's forward / reverse position, vertical position, and rotation by using different travel paths for the rake's forward and reverse movement through the litter box. The flat-shovel cat litter box described in this patent has a complex structure and numerous parts, making it difficult to disassemble and clean. Furthermore, the rake is used to push cat feces into the collection bin during cleaning. This prolonged contact between the rake and feces makes the rake easily dirty and difficult to clean.

[0004] CN118383278A discloses a fully automatic cat litter box, comprising a main body, a litter bin, and a foldable feces collection bin. The main body is provided with a movable rotating support on the side of the top, a rotating through hole is provided on the outside of the litter bin, and the rotating support is snap-fitted into the rotating through hole. The feces collection bin is detachably connected to the bottom of the main body. The main body is also provided with a drive motor and a control motherboard, which is connected to the drive motor, which is in turn connected to the rotating support. Although the rotary cat litter box disclosed in this patent can achieve automatic defecation removal, its complex structure and difficulty in disassembly make it very troublesome to clean, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0026] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other in any way.

[0027] like Figure 1-2As shown, a schematic structural diagram of the inclined rotating cat litter box of the present application is shown. The cat litter box includes a support assembly 5 and a bin body 9 tilted on the support assembly 5, and the bin body 9 can rotate on the inclined surface relative to the support assembly 5. A feces collection port 4 is provided at one end of the bin body 9, and the feces collection port 4 is connected to the feces collection bin 7. The feces collection bin 7 can be provided outside the bin body 9, for example, at the rear or bottom. A filter element 2 is provided in the bin body 9, and the filter element 2 divides the bin body 9 into a cat litter bin 8 connected to the feces collection port 4 and a transfer bin 3 not connected to the feces collection port 4. Filter holes are provided on at least a portion of the filter element 2, and the size of the filter holes is designed to allow cat litter to pass smoothly. The bin body of the cat litter box of the present application is tilted, which can reduce the height of the pet entering and exiting the bin body, making it more convenient for the pet to enter and exit. At least a portion of the bin body is open. Preferably, the exposure range ratio can be at least 50%, preferably 60%-100%.

[0028] Specifically, if Figure 1 As shown, the feces collection port 4 can be in the form of an open box body provided on the bin body 9. At this time, one side of the filter element 2 is connected to the side wall of the feces collection port 4, and the other side is connected to the side wall of the cat litter bin 8. Figure 9 As shown, the feces collection port 4 can also be directly set on the side wall or bottom of the bin body 9. In this case, both sides of the filter element 2 are connected to the side wall of the bin body 9. In order to facilitate cleaning, it is preferred in this application that at least one side of the filter element 2 can be set as a detachable connection. Preferably, both sides of the filter element 2 are set as a detachable connection to facilitate disassembly for cleaning. Figure 1 and 9 As shown, preferably, the filter element 2 is provided with a filter hole at the end away from the excrement collection port 4 so that the cat litter can be leaked into the transfer bin 3 during rotation. The length range of the filter holes on the filter element 2 can be set according to the standard usage of the cat litter. For example, the filter element 2 can be set in the form of a multi-section assembly, and the length range of the filter holes can be adjusted as needed. Preferably, the ratio of the length of the filter holes on the filter element 2 to the length without the filter holes can be 0.1-10, preferably 0.2-5. The length range of the filter holes can also be fixed, and the standard usage of the cat litter can be calculated based on the length range of the filter holes and the size of the bin body, so that after the bin body rotates, the cat litter that is not adhered to cat feces can fall into the transfer bin.

[0029] like Figures 8a-8f As shown, schematic diagrams are shown in which the chamber body 9 is rotated counterclockwise to different angles. Figure 8a Shown in Figure 1 Rotate 30 degrees counterclockwise in the state, Figure 8b Shown in Figure 1 In the state, rotate 60 degrees counterclockwise, Figure 8c Shown in Figure 1 Rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise in the state, Figure 8d Shown in Figure 1 Rotate 120 degrees counterclockwise in the state, Figure 8e Shown in Figure 1 In the state, rotate 150 degrees counterclockwise, Figure 8f Shown in Figure 1 In the state, rotate 180 degrees counterclockwise. Those skilled in the art will understand that when the filter element 2 is set on the opposite side, the direction of rotation can be changed to clockwise. During the rotation of the warehouse body, the clean cat litter will gather downward under the action of gravity, and gradually flow into the transfer warehouse from the filter holes on the filter element 2 for collection. For cat feces with cat litter adhered to the surface, due to its large size, it cannot pass through the filter holes, so it will be blocked by the filter element and eventually flow into the feces collection port 4, and then enter the feces collection bin 7 after being discharged from the feces collection port 4 for collection. After cleaning, the warehouse body is rotated and reset, and the clean cat litter collected in the transfer warehouse will re-enter the warehouse body through the filter holes for the pet to use again. The rotation of the warehouse body can be automatically operated by setting a sensor to sense the entry and exit of the pet, without the need for manual operation by the user, thereby achieving fully automatic feces cleaning. Specifically, the entry and exit of the pet can be detected by setting existing technologies such as weight sensors or infrared sensors, and the rotation of the warehouse body can be automatically controlled.

[0030] Figure 2-7 Several different rotating assemblies are shown for realizing the rotation of the bin body relative to the support assembly on the inclined plane. Figure 2-3 As shown, the support assembly 5 includes a base 50, a support diagonal rod 51, and a rotating diagonal rod 52. The support diagonal rod 51 is connected to the base 50, and the rotating diagonal rod 52 is connected to the warehouse body 9. The support diagonal rod 51 and the rotating diagonal rod 52 are connected by a rotating assembly 1. The rotating assembly 1 includes a motor 10 disposed on the support diagonal rod 51. The motor 10 is provided with a motor shaft 11. The motor shaft 11 is engaged with the rotating diagonal rod 52, for example, by a threaded engagement. In this embodiment, the rotating diagonal rod can be rotated by the motor driving the motor shaft, and the motor shaft and the rotating diagonal rod are threadedly engaged, thereby driving the rotation of the warehouse body.

[0031] In the second embodiment, Figure 4-5 As shown, the rotating assembly includes a motor 10, and the motor 10 and the inclined rod 53 are engaged through a gear assembly, so that the inclined rod 53 can rotate relative to the base 50. At this time, the inclined rod 53 is a whole inclined tube. Figure 2-3 As shown in the embodiment, the motor 10 is arranged on the supporting oblique rod 51 , and a meshing gear is provided on the rotating oblique rod 52 so that the rotating oblique rod 52 can rotate relative to the supporting oblique rod 51 .

[0032] In the third embodiment, Figure 6-7As shown, the design can also be configured to allow the bin body 9 to rotate relative to the inclined rod 53. Specifically, a motor 10 is provided to provide the rotational power, and the motor 10 is connected to a drive gear 12. A ring-shaped support gear 13 is provided at the bottom of the bin body 9, and the drive gear 12 cooperates with the support gear 13. When the motor 10 rotates, it drives the drive gear 12 to rotate, and through the cooperation between the drive gear 12 and the support gear 13, the bin body 9 is further driven to rotate.

[0033] The cat litter box of the present application has a simple structure, a small number of parts and is easy to disassemble and assemble. Automatic cleaning of cat feces can be achieved simply by rotating the bin body on an inclined plane, thereby separating clean cat litter for recycling.
