The weighing sensors 3 have a first end 31 and a second end 32. The bottom of the first end 31 is connected to the top of the base 2, the second end 32 is suspended from the base 2, and the top of the second end 32 is connected to the bottom of the cat litter box body 1, so that the base 2 is supported on the cat litter box body 1 by the weighing sensors 3. The number of weighing sensors can be four, respectively, to support the cat litter box body from the four corners, making the structural support of the cat litter box more stable. In addition, the weighing sensors can be bar-shaped weighing sensors to facilitate the overall layout of the product structure.

[0031] In the structure of the present invention, a plurality of weighing sensors are provided, and the weighing sensors have a first end and a second end, the bottom of the first end is connected to the top of the base, the second end is suspended from the base, and the top of the second end is connected to the bottom of the litter box body, so that the base is supported on the litter box body by the weighing sensors. When the cat enters the litter box body, it will exert downward pressure on the weighing sensors, and the weighing sensors can detect the change in gravity of the litter box body, thereby knowing that the cat is in the litter box body. Conversely, when the cat leaves the litter box body, the downward pressure of the litter box body on the weighing sensors will decrease, and the weighing sensors will detect the change in gravity of the litter box body, thereby knowing that the cat has left the litter box body. In summary, through the above-mentioned structural setting, the setting of the weighing structure is effectively simplified, which is beneficial to the assembly of the product structure and has a reasonable design.

[0032] In this embodiment, the base 2 includes a base plate 21, a mounting boss 22 disposed on the top of the base plate 21, and the bottom of the first end 31 is connected to the mounting boss 22. Due to the above-described structural arrangement and the provision of the mounting boss, the load cell can be positioned in a raised position relative to the base plate, allowing the second end of the load cell to be suspended above the base plate, resulting in a simple structure and a reasonable design.

[0033] Furthermore, positioning blocks 23 are provided on both sides of the mounting boss 22 and the rear side of the mounting boss 22 to facilitate the installation and positioning of the weighing sensor.

[0034] Furthermore, the weighing structure also includes a first screw (not shown). The first end 31 is provided with a first mounting hole 33. The mounting boss 22 is provided with a second mounting hole 24 that passes through the base plate 21. The bottom of the base plate 21 is provided with a first locking plate 4. The first screw passes through the first mounting hole 33 and the second mounting hole 24 in sequence and is connected to the first locking plate 4 to achieve the connection between the first end of the weighing sensor and the base plate (base). The structure is simple and easy to assemble. The bottom of the base plate is provided with a positioning cavity, and the first locking plate can be placed in the positioning cavity to facilitate positioning during assembly.

[0035] In this embodiment, the weighing structure further includes a plurality of support legs 5. A third mounting hole 25 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 21. The support legs 5 are detachably connected to the third mounting hole 25. The first locking plate can be located within the third mounting hole. Accordingly, the number of the third mounting hole and the number of support legs can both be four.

[0036] The sidewalls of the third mounting hole 25 are provided with a slot 26, and the top of the support leg 5 is provided with an elastic clip 51. When the top of the support leg 5 is inserted into the third mounting hole 25, the elastic clip 51 engages with the slot 26, thereby enabling a detachable connection of the support leg 5. This provides a simple structure and convenient assembly. Furthermore, the sidewalls of the third mounting hole may also be provided with a positioning slot 27. Accordingly, the sidewalls of the support leg are provided with a positioning block 52. During assembly, the support leg is inserted into the third mounting hole along the positioning slot with the positioning block, enabling quick positioning of the two during assembly.

[0037] In this embodiment, a mounting plate 11 is provided at the bottom of the cat litter box body 1 , and the top of the second end 32 is connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 11 to facilitate product assembly.

[0038] The mounting plate 11 is provided with a first positioning cavity 12, and the top of the second end 32 is placed in the first positioning cavity 12 to facilitate the installation and positioning of the weighing sensor and the mounting plate (cat litter box body). In addition, the weighing sensor is only partially placed in the first positioning cavity.

[0039] Furthermore, the weighing structure also includes a second screw (not shown in the figure), the second end 32 is provided with a fourth mounting hole 34, the first positioning cavity 12 is provided with a fifth mounting hole 13 that passes through the mounting plate 11, and the top of the mounting plate 11 is provided with a second locking plate 6. The second screw passes through the fourth mounting hole 34 and the fifth mounting hole 13 in sequence and is connected to the second locking plate 6 to achieve the connection between the second end of the weighing sensor and the mounting plate (cat litter box body), which has a simple structure and is easy to assemble. Among them, the top portion of the mounting plate is provided with a positioning cavity, and the second locking plate can be set in the positioning cavity to facilitate positioning during assembly.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 11 , a cat litter box, comprising the weighing structure of the cat litter box as described above.

[0042] Since the cat litter box of this embodiment includes the above-mentioned weighing structure. In the above-mentioned weighing structure, through the setting of multiple weighing sensors, and the weighing sensor has a first end and a second end, the bottom of the first end is connected to the top of the base, the second end is suspended from the base, and the top of the second end is connected to the bottom of the cat litter box body, so that the base is supported on the cat litter box body by the weighing sensor. When the cat enters the cat litter box body, it will form a downward pressure on the weighing sensor, and the weighing sensor can detect the gravity change of the cat litter box body, thereby knowing that the cat is in the cat litter box body. Conversely, when the cat leaves the cat litter box body, the downward pressure of the cat litter box body on the weighing sensor will decrease, and the weighing sensor detects the gravity change of the cat litter box body, thereby knowing that the cat has left the cat litter box body. In summary, through the above-mentioned structural setting, the setting of the weighing structure is effectively simplified, which is beneficial to the assembly of the product structure and has a reasonable design.
