[0026] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the technical solution in the embodiment of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a cat litter box includes a cat litter box body 1, a cat litter bin 2 for storing cat litter, and a cat litter bin 2 rotatably connected to the cat litter box body 1. The cat litter box body 1 is also provided with a feces collection bin 3, which is arranged below the cat litter bin 2 and is retractably connected to the cat litter box body 1. The feces collection bin 3 is used to collect feces and cat litter that are dumped out of the cat litter bin 2. The feces collection bin 3 is retractably connected to the cat litter box body 1 to facilitate the cleaning of feces.
[0028] The feces collection bin 3 includes a feces collection bin body 31, which is connected to the cat litter box body 1 in a pull-out and limitable manner. A accommodating groove 32 for placing a garbage bag is provided in the feces collection bin body 31, and a convex edge 33 for hanging an elastic opening garbage bag is provided on the outer periphery of the upper end of the accommodating groove 32.
[0029] A rotating shaft 4 is provided in the feces collecting bin body 31, and the rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the feces collecting bin body 31. A hanging buckle 5 for hanging an elastic opening garbage bag is provided on the rotating shaft 4. The hanging buckle 5 is distributed on the side of the upper end of the accommodating groove 32 away from the protruding edge 33. A pressing block 6 for driving the rotating shaft 4 to rotate is provided on the rotating shaft 4, and one end of the pressing block 6 extends out of the feces collecting bin body 31; during use, the rotating shaft 4 can be driven to rotate by pressing the pressing block 6, thereby driving the hanging buckle 5 to rotate and swing toward the direction close to the accommodating groove 32.
[0030] During specific use, before use, the elastic opening of the garbage bag is first placed into the receiving groove 32, and then the elastic opening of the garbage bag is opened and respectively fitted onto the ridge 33 and the hook 5, and then the feces collection bin body 31 is installed in the cat litter box to complete the installation. When the garbage bag needs to be cleaned, the user can press the pressing block 6 from the outside of the feces collection bin body 31, and the pressing block 6 will drive the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, thereby driving the hook 5 to rotate and swing in the direction close to the receiving groove 32, so that the hook 5 is released from the limit of the garbage bag opening; the elastic opening of the garbage bag will automatically detach from the hook 5 and the ridge 33 under the action of the elastic force, and automatically close; then the user can remove the feces collection bin 3 from the cat litter box and take away the garbage bag in the feces collection bin 3 after closing.
[0031] The excrement collection bin 3 utilizes a hook 5 and a ledge 33 within the bin body 31 to position the elastically opened garbage bag. A pressing block 6 pushes the hook 5 to swing, allowing the elastically opened garbage bag to detach from the hook 5. Once detached, the elastic garbage bag automatically closes under the elastic force, thus achieving the function of automatically closing the garbage bag. This automatic closing of the garbage bag simplifies the user's cleaning process, eliminating tedious operations while minimizing exposure of feces to the user, thereby improving the user experience.
[0032] In the specific implementation process, the garbage bag can be a garbage bag sealed with a rubber band, or other garbage bags with elastic opening ends.
[0033] Two torsion springs 7 are sleeved on the rotating shaft 4. One end of the torsion spring 7 is connected to the pressing block 6, and the other end is connected to the feces collection bin body 31. In the initial state, the torsion spring 7 is in the open state, so that the hanging buckle 5 can stand upright so that the open end of the elastic opening garbage bag can be hung and restrained. When the feces collection bin 3 needs to be cleaned, the user can press the pressing block 6, which will squeeze the torsion spring 7 and simultaneously push the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, so that the hanging buckle 5 can rotate and swing toward the receiving groove 32, so that the hanging buckle 5 is free from the restraint on the elastic opening garbage bag, and the elastic opening garbage bag will automatically close under the action of the elastic force. The user then releases the pressing block 6, and the elastic force of the torsion spring 7 pushes the pressing block 6 and the rotating shaft 4 to automatically reset, so that the hanging buckle 5 stands upright again, so that a new elastic opening garbage bag can be installed. By providing a torsion spring 7, the hook 5 can be automatically reset; and the elastic force of the torsion spring 7 is greater than the elastic force of the elastic opening garbage bag, so the torsion spring 7 can prevent the elastic opening garbage bag from pulling down the hook 5, thereby improving the stability of use.
[0034] In this embodiment, there are three hooks 5, and the three hooks 5 are evenly spaced on the rotating shaft 4. By providing three hooks 5, the elastically opened garbage bag can be stably mounted on the hooks 5, improving stability during use. In other embodiments, the number of hooks 5 can also be any other number.
[0035] In order to facilitate the hanging of the elastic opening garbage bag, an inverted buckle 34 is provided at the upper end of the convex edge 33, and the inverted buckle 34 is provided on the side of the convex edge 33 away from the hanging buckle 5; by providing the inverted buckle 34, the elastic opening garbage bag can be limited when it is hung on the convex edge 33, thereby preventing the garbage bag from automatically sliding off and improving the stability of use.
[0036] On the other hand, in order to facilitate the elastic opening of the garbage bag to be able to close smoothly under the action of elastic force; in this embodiment, the height of the ridge 33 gradually increases from the hook 5 to the accommodating groove 32, that is, the ridge 33 at the end away from the hook 5 is the highest. In this way, after the garbage bag is detached from the hook 5, the contact area between the garbage bag and the ridge 33 increases from small to large, so that the elastic force of the garbage bag can facilitate the garbage bag to be smoothly closed.
[0037] To reduce the odor emitted from the feces collection bin 3, a deodorizing box 8 for placing deodorant is provided on the feces collection bin body 31. Deodorant placed in the deodorizing box 8 can emit an odor that neutralizes the odor within the feces collection bin 3, thereby reducing the outward emission of odor from the feces collection bin 3 and reducing odor. Specifically, the deodorizing box 8 includes a bottom frame 81 and a top cover 82. The bottom frame 81 is fixedly connected to the feces collection bin body 31. A storage cavity 83 for placing the deodorant is provided within the bottom frame 81. The top cover 82 is openably connected to the bottom frame 81, and opening the top cover 82 facilitates the placement of deodorant into the storage cavity 83. A gap 84 is reserved between the top cover 82 and the bottom frame 81. This reserved gap 84 allows the odor of the deodorant to be emitted and mixed with the odor within the feces collection bin 3, achieving the purpose of deodorization.
[0038] In this embodiment, one end of the upper cover 82 is hinged to the bottom frame 81. A buckle 85 is provided on the side of the upper cover 82 away from the hinged end. A latch block 86 is provided on the bottom frame 81 at a position corresponding to the buckle 85. The buckle 85 and the latch block 86 are detachably engaged. The engagement of the latch block 86 and the buckle 85 facilitates the opening and closing of the storage chamber 83, making it easier to place the deodorant and preventing the deodorant from falling out of the storage chamber 83 during transportation or tilting.
[0039] In order to facilitate the removal of the feces collection bin 3, a handle groove 35 is provided on the feces collection bin body 31. During use, the user can hold the handle groove 35 to facilitate the insertion of the feces collection bin body 31 into the cat litter box body 1, and also facilitate the pulling out of the feces collection bin body 31 from the cat litter box body 1, thereby improving practicality.
[0040] By pressing the pressing block 6, the litter box automatically closes the garbage bag inside the collection bin 31, simplifying the cleaning process for the user. This reduces the need for tedious operations and minimizes exposure of feces to the user, thereby improving the user experience. Furthermore, by providing a deodorizing box 8 inside the collection bin 31, odors generated within the bin 31 can be reduced, further enhancing user experience.
[0041] The above-mentioned specific implementation manner is a preferred implementation manner of the present utility model, and is not intended to limit the specific implementation scope of the present utility model. The scope of the present utility model includes but is not limited to the specific implementation manner. All equivalent changes made in accordance with the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
