[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application more clearly understood, 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 manner. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the smart cat litter box of this application can be used by various cats and pets as a toilet.

[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present application proposes an intelligent cat litter box, comprising a basin body 1, a cleaning piece, a feces collection box 3 and a rotary drive mechanism 6. A cat litter bin 11 is provided in the basin body 1, and cat litter is placed in the cat litter bin 11 for cats to defecate, etc. The feces collection box 3 is detachably connected to the basin body 1, which is convenient for disassembly to clean dirt and wash. The cleaning piece can be rotatably arranged in the basin body 1 to clean the dirt in the cat litter bin 11. The rotary drive mechanism 6 can be arranged on the basin body 1 and be connected to the cleaning piece in a transmission manner, thereby driving the cleaning piece to rotate. Specifically, the rotary drive mechanism 6 can drive the cleaning piece to rotate, so that the cleaning piece cleans the dirt in the cat litter bin 11, such as feces and clumped cat litter, to the feces collection port of the feces collection box 3 during the rotation process, and then collects the feces in the feces collection box 3 along the feces collection port, which is convenient for cleaning. The cat litter box designed in this application has a simple structural design and is easy to disassemble for cleaning. The cat litter bin 11 is designed to be open and has a large capacity, which can provide a more comfortable environment for cats to use the toilet.

[0027] Preferably, in combination with the above scheme, Figure 1 As shown, the basin body 1 and the feces collection box 3 can be made of high-strength environmentally friendly materials, which makes the cat litter box more fashionable and can be integrated into various home styles. The upper end of the basin body 1 is designed to be an open structure, that is, the basin body 1 is designed to be open, which can ensure air circulation and reduce odor.

[0028] Preferably, in combination with the above scheme, Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in the present application, in order to achieve the effect of intelligent control, the cat litter box proposed in this application may also include a detection component and a controller; wherein the detection component can be arranged on the basin body 1 and electrically connected to the controller to realize the control function; the controller is electrically connected to the rotary drive mechanism 6 to control the operation of the rotary drive mechanism 6, that is, the controller controls the rotary drive mechanism 6 through the detection signal of the detection component, thereby realizing intelligent control.

[0029] Preferably, in combination with the above scheme, Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, in the solution of the present application, the detection component may include at least one of a weight sensor, a radar sensor, and an infrared sensor. The weight sensor is used to detect the weight of the cat litter in the cat litter bin 11. When a cat enters the cat litter bin 11, the weight sensor can sense the cat's weight and then control the cat litter box to stop working through the controller. The infrared sensor is used to detect the cat in the cat litter bin 11. When it is determined that there is a cat in the cat litter bin 11, the controller controls the cat litter box to stop working. The radar sensor is used to detect the distance between the cat and the basin body 1, that is, the radar sensor determines whether the cat enters and leaves the cat litter bin 11 by detecting the distance between the cat and the basin body 1. When it is determined that the cat is in the cat litter bin 11, the controller controls the cat litter box to stop working, thereby ensuring that the cleaning unit operates when the cat is not in the cat litter bin 11. By adopting the above solution, through the synergistic effect of multiple sensors, the use of the cat litter box can be accurately monitored to avoid safety accidents such as cat getting stuck.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, the smart cat litter box proposed in this application also includes a control system. The controller of this control system uses microprocessor control technology to achieve precise control of the entire smart cat litter box. The control system can be remotely operated through clients such as mobile phones, computers, and control panels, allowing users to understand the usage of the cat litter box and adjust its usage settings anytime and anywhere. At the same time, the customizability of the control system allows it to be set according to the cat's personality and habits, improving the cat's adaptability. When a cat enters the litter box, the radar sensor and weight sensor simultaneously detect the cat's presence, and the control system suspends the cleaning process. After the cat leaves, the weight sensor detects the change in the weight of the cat litter, and the control system activates the scraper, which pushes the feces collection compartment lid open and simultaneously cleans the feces and clumped cat litter into the collection box. The detection component continuously monitors the usage and environmental parameters of the cat litter box, automatically adjusting the cleaning process and other functions as needed.

[0031] Preferably, in combination with the above scheme, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the cat litter box provided by the present application also includes a feces collection bin cover 4, and a feces collection opening is provided at the upper end of the feces collection box 3. The feces collection bin cover 4 is movably provided on the feces collection box 3 and covers the feces collection opening. Specifically, when the cleaning part is cleaning the waste, it can first lift up the feces collection bin cover 4 when it is rotated to a preset angle, thereby opening the feces collection opening, so that the waste on the cleaning part slides from the feces collection opening into the feces collection bin cover 4. With the above-mentioned structural design, through the reasonable design of the mechanical structure, the cleaning part can automatically open the feces collection bin cover 4 first during the cleaning operation and clean the waste into the feces collection box 3.

[0032] Preferably, in combination with the above scheme, Figures 1 to 4As shown, one side of the feces collection bin lid 4 is rotatably arranged. Specifically, one side of the feces collection bin lid 4 is rotatably connected to one side of the upper end surface of the feces collection box 3. The other side of the feces collection bin lid 4 is provided with a top foot 41 along its bottom direction. The top foot 41 can be protruding from both sides of the bottom of the feces collection bin lid 4. Furthermore, a support structure is formed on the upper side of the cleaning member facing the feces collection bin lid 4. The support structure can be a boss structure or directly designed as a bent shovel 22, so that when the cleaning member is rotated to a preset angle, the support structure can first lift the feces collection bin lid 4, thereby opening the feces collection opening. Specifically, the cleaning piece can be a scraper 2, and a shovel 22 is formed at one end of the bottom of the scraper 2, and the shovel 22 forms a bending structure toward the side of the feces collection bin cover 4, so that when the scraper 2 is rotated to a preset angle, it can first lift the feces collection bin cover 4 through its bending structure and then open the feces collection opening. At this time, the dirt on the shovel 22 will slide down due to gravity and fall into the feces collection box 3 through the feces collection opening. The structural design is simple and ingenious.

[0033] Preferably, in combination with the above scheme, Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the basin body 1 is also provided with a Hall sensor for detecting the rotation angle of the cleaning member. The Hall sensor is electrically connected to the controller to control the rotation angle of the scraper 2. The Hall sensor is used to detect the rotation angle of the scraper 2, which can clean the cat litter more efficiently and conveniently. Specifically, the scraper 2 controls the rotation angle through Hall sensing so that feces can fall better into the feces collection box. After the scraper 2 has shoveled the cat litter, it will return to the predetermined position. The predetermined position can be the top of the cat litter bin 11, so that the cat will not urinate on the scraper, avoiding secondary cleaning.

[0034] Preferably, in combination with the above scheme, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the cleaning part is a scraper 2, and a rotating shaft 21 is provided on the scraper 2. The rotating shaft 21 can be rotatably set on the inner wall of the cat litter bin 11. Furthermore, the rotating shaft 21 can be detachably set on the inner wall of the cat litter bin 11, so that it can be disassembled and cleaned. A shovel 22 is provided on the side of the scraper 2 facing the feces collection bin cover 4. The shovel 22 is designed as a filter structure, so that the scraper 2 can clean the feces and lumps in the cat litter through the shovel 22 when it rotates. Furthermore, a bending structure is formed on the bottom of both sides of the rotating shaft 21 on the scraper 2, so that when the scraper 2 is cleaning, the feces and lumps are collected through the bending structure and can be quickly cleaned to the feces collection port 12. The structural design of the above-mentioned cleaning part can improve the cleaning effect, quickly and thoroughly clean the feces and lumps in the cat litter, and reduce the generation of odor.

[0035] Preferably, in combination with the above scheme, Figures 1 to 4As shown, in the present application, the rotary drive mechanism 6 is arranged on the side wall of the basin body 1. The rotary drive mechanism 6 includes a drive motor 7, a first gear 8 and a second gear 9; wherein, the second gear 9 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 7, the rotating shaft 21 is connected to the first gear 8 in transmission connection, and the first gear 8 and the second gear 9 are meshed with each other. Furthermore, the drive motor 7 is electrically connected to the controller. Such a design can control the operation of the rotary drive mechanism 6 through the controller, and the drive motor 7 drives the scraper 2 to rotate to open the feces collection bin cover 4 to allow feces to be poured into the feces collection box. The running speed and strength of the cleaning part can be adjusted according to the type of cat litter and the usage of the cat, and the specific adjustment is achieved by adjusting the drive motor.

[0036] Preferably, in combination with the above scheme, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the present application, the rotary drive mechanism 6 is arranged on the side wall of the basin body 1. The rotary drive mechanism 6 also includes a shell, which is fixedly arranged on the side wall of the basin body 1, and a handle 5 is provided on the shell, so that it is convenient to carry the smart cat litter box. Furthermore, the handle 5 is designed as a groove structure. A feces collection bin seat is provided on the side of the basin body 1, and the feces collection box 3 can be detachably arranged in the feces collection bin seat, so that it can be conveniently extracted and cleaned at any time. Furthermore, a feces collection box outer cover 4 is provided on the upper end surface of the feces collection box 3, and the feces box outer cover 4 can be detachably arranged on the feces collection box 3 to cover the feces collection opening of the feces collection box 3 to prevent the spread of odor from the feces collection box 3.

[0037] Preferably, in combination with the above solution, in the solution of the present application, a feces collecting bin is provided in the feces collecting box, and a deodorizing device is provided on the side wall of the feces collecting bin.
