DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3A smart cat litter box includes a cat litter box structure 1, which includes a base 14 and a basin body 11 installed in the middle of the top of the base 14, a placement component 15 is installed on both sides of the basin body 11, a filter component 16 is installed on the top of the placement component 15, a material receiving component 17 is provided inside the placement component 15, and a basin cover 12 is installed on the top of the basin body 11.

[0026] A discharge hole 113 is formed on the outer surface of the basin body 11 and on one side of the placement member 15 .

[0027] The placement component 15 includes an installation frame 151 installed on the outside of the basin body 11. A bottom groove 152 is provided at the bottom end of the installation frame 151. A mounting box 153 is installed at the top of the installation frame 151. An air pump 154 is installed inside the installation box 153. A mounting tube 155 is installed through the top of the installation box 153. A threaded groove 156 is provided inside the installation tube 155.

[0028] The filter component 16 includes a placement tube 161 and a threaded tube 162 installed at the bottom end of the placement tube 161. A mounting ring 163 is inserted inside the placement tube 161. An inverted U frame 166 is installed at the top of the mounting ring 163. A dense net 164 is installed at the top and bottom of the mounting ring 163. Deodorizing materials 165 are provided between the dense nets 164. The threaded tube 162 is threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded groove 156. The vacuum pump 154 extracts the odor from the basin body 11 and the mounting frame 151, and filters it through the deodorizing material 165.

[0029] An arc-shaped groove 111 is provided at the rear end of the interior of the basin body 11, and an inner rotating groove 112 is provided inside the main body of the basin body 11. An inner slider 116 is slidably installed inside the arc-shaped groove 111, and a filter frame 114 is installed on one side of the inner slider 116, and a filter screen 115 is installed inside the filter frame 114. A control member 13 is installed on the outside of the basin body 11 and on one side close to the inner rotating groove 112. The filter frame 114 is used to push the cat litter at the bottom end of the basin body 11, and the filter screen 115 filters the cat litter clumps.

[0030] The control component 13 includes a mounting tube 131 installed at the rear end of the basin body 11. A motor 132 is installed at the rear end of the basin body 11 and inside the mounting tube 131. A rotating shaft 133 is installed at the output end of the motor 132, and the rotating shaft 133 is located inside the inner rotating groove 112. A spring rod 134 is installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 133, and one end of the spring rod 134 is located inside the arc groove 111. The inner slider 116 and the spring rod 134 are fixed with bolts.

[0031] A sand-proof strip 117 is installed on the outer surface of the basin body 11 and above the discharge hole 113 , and the sand-proof strip 117 is located inside the mounting frame 151 to constrain the cat litter.

[0032] In this embodiment: after opening the basin cover 12, the filter frame 114 is placed into the basin body 11 from the top of the basin body 11, the inner slider 116 is stuck into the inside of the arc groove 111, and the inner slider 116 and the spring rod 134 are fixed with bolts. After installation, the basin cover 12 can be put back to the top of the basin body 11. After the cat uses the interior of the cat litter box structure 1, it walks out of the basin body 11, the motor 132 is operated, and the rotating shaft 133 drives the spring rod 134, the inner slider 116 and the filter frame 114 to move together, prompting the filter frame 114 to move along the inner wall of the basin body 11. When the filter frame 114 passes through the cat litter, it drives the cat litter group to move together. During the movement of the filter frame 114, the cat litter that has not formed a clumping passes through the filter screen 115 and remains at the bottom end of the inner part of the basin body 11. The cat litter group moves up from the bottom end of the basin body 11. It is tilted, which prompts the cat litter balls to move to the outside of the basin body 11, and are discharged into the interior of the mounting frame 151 through the discharge hole 113, and fall into the material receiving component 17, so that the cat litter balls are collected together. The air pump 154 starts to operate when the cat uses the cat litter box structure 1, and the odor generated by the cat feces is extracted by the air pump 154 through the discharge hole 113. The air pump 154 discharges the odor into the interior of the mounting pipe 155. When the odor passes through the interior of the filter component 16, the deodorizing agent 165 filters the odor. When the cat litter balls are inside the material receiving component 17, the mounting ring 163 also filters the odor. After using the filter component 16 for a period of time, the handheld inverted U-frame 166 will take out the mounting ring 163, the dense net 164 and the deodorizing agent 165 together, and replace the deodorizing agent 165, which is convenient for long-term use of the cat litter box structure 1.

[0033] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 4 The material receiving component 17 includes a mounting plate 171 and a handle 172 installed on the outside of the mounting plate 171. An insertion frame 173 is installed on the outside of the mounting plate 171. An inner sliding frame 174 is provided at the lower end of the inner part of the insertion frame 173. The inner sliding frame 174 is located inside the bottom groove 152 to constrain the position of the material receiving component 17.

[0034] A slide groove 175 is provided on the inner wall of the insertion frame 173, and a cylinder 176 is installed on the inner top of the slide groove 175. The two ends of the inner slide frame 174 are slidably installed inside the slide groove 175, and the moving end of the cylinder 176 is installed on the top of the inner slide frame 174. The position of the inner slide frame 174 is controlled by the telescopic cylinder 176.

[0035] After the cleaning of the collecting member 17 is completed, the insertion frame 173 is pushed into the interior of the installing frame 151, the cylinder 176 is extended, and the inner sliding frame 174 moves down into the interior of the bottom groove 152, thereby limiting the position of the collecting member 17.

[0036] Working principle: When the cat walks out of the basin body 11, the motor 132 starts to operate, and the rotating shaft 133 drives the spring rod 134, the inner slider 116 and the filter frame 114 to move together. The unclumped cat litter passes through the filter screen 115 and remains at the inner bottom end of the basin body 11. The cat litter ball moves upward from the bottom end of the basin body 11 and moves toward the outside of the basin body 11. It is discharged into the interior of the mounting frame 151 through the discharge hole 113 and falls into the collecting component 17. The cat litter balls are collected centrally. The vacuum pump 154 starts to operate when the cat uses the cat litter box structure 1. The odor generated by the cat feces is extracted by the vacuum pump 154 through the discharge hole 113, and the deodorant 165 filters the odor. The handheld handle 172 is pulled out of the collecting component 17 from the interior of the mounting frame 151, which is convenient for dumping the cat litter ball inside the collecting component 17.

[0037] The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0038] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
