[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , rake assembly, including:

[0031] A mounting member 1 is provided with an elastic block 11, a support portion 12, and a first limiting portion 13. A limiting region 14 is formed between the elastic block 11 and the support portion 12. The first limiting portion 13 is provided corresponding to the limiting region 14.

[0032] A base body 2, wherein a plurality of rake teeth 21 are provided on the base body 2, the base body 2 is limited to the limiting area 14, and the base body 2 has a second limiting portion 22;

[0033] The first limiting portion 13 cooperates with the second limiting portion 22 to prevent the seat body 2 from being separated from the mounting member 1 from one side of the limiting area 14 .

[0034] From the above description, it can be seen that the beneficial effect of the present invention is that the seat body 2 with the rake teeth 21 is fixed by the elastic block 11 on the mounting member 1. When the user needs to remove the rake teeth 21, pressing the elastic block 11 can release the limitation of the mounting member 1 on the seat body 2, so that the seat body 2 can be withdrawn from the limiting area 14. When the user installs the rake teeth 21, the seat body 2 can be slid directly along the mounting member 1 to the limiting area 14. The disassembly and assembly process of the seat body 2 and the mounting member 1 is very simple, which can bring convenience to the user's work of cleaning the rake teeth 21 and help enhance the user's usage experience.

[0035] Furthermore, the second limiting portion 22 is a slot, and the slot is L-shaped or T-shaped.

[0037] Furthermore, the bottom of the elastic block 11 has a first interference plane 111 , and the upper portion of the seat body 2 has a second interference plane 23 in surface contact with the first interference plane 111 .

[0038] As can be seen from the above description, the surface contact between the elastic block 11 and the seat body 2 can enable the seat body 2 to be more stably limited.

[0039] Furthermore, a guide groove 15 is provided on the mounting member 1, and a guide block 24 is provided on the base body 2 to cooperate with the guide groove 15. The guide block 24 is slidably arranged in the guide groove 15 along a first direction, and the first limiting portion 13 prevents the base body 2 from detaching from the mounting member 1 along a second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0040] It can be seen from the above description that the cooperation between the guide groove 15 and the guide block 24 allows the user to more conveniently install the base body 2 on the mounting member 1.

[0041] Furthermore, the elastic block 11 has a guide surface 112 , and the guide surface 112 is an inclined surface or a curved surface.

[0042] From the above description, it can be seen that after the guide surface 112 contacts the base 2, it can guide the elastic block 11 to deform, so that the user does not need to operate the elastic block 11 when installing the base 2 on the mounting member 1, which makes it convenient for the user to install the base 2 with the rake teeth 21.

[0043] Furthermore, the number of the elastic card blocks 11 is two, and the two elastic card blocks 11 are arranged side by side and at intervals.

[0044] As can be seen from the above description, the two elastic blocks 11 can balance the force on the seat body 2 and at the same time, facilitate the user to operate with both hands.

[0045] Furthermore, the seat body 2 and the rake teeth 21 are an integral structure formed by integral processing.

[0046] As can be seen from the above description, the base body 2 and the rake teeth 21 are integrally formed to facilitate the production and assembly of the rake assembly.

[0047] A cat litter box including the above-mentioned rake assembly.

[0048] As can be seen from the above description, the rake teeth 21 of the cat litter box are easy to clean.

[0049] Furthermore, it includes a main body 3 and a moving part 4 movably arranged on the main body 3 , and the mounting part 1 can be lifted and lowered on the moving part 4 .

[0050] As can be seen from the above description, the mounting member 1 can be raised and lowered on the movable member 4, so that the user does not need to extend his hands too far into the cat litter box when disassembling the base 2 with the rake teeth 21, which facilitates the user's operation.

[0051] Furthermore, a lifting rack 16 is provided on the mounting member 1 , and a lifting drive mechanism is provided on the moving member 4 . The lifting drive mechanism includes a lifting drive gear, and the lifting drive gear is engaged with the lifting rack 16 .
