[0056] The litter box 1 is equipped with a gravity litter collection area 7, which can collect the litter and make it easy for it to fall into the litter waste collection module 3.
[0057] The working principle of the intelligent pet litter box that can dispose of and clean cat litter provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0058] After powering on, the system enters the litter-laying mode. The worm gear litter dispensing module 2 releases a small amount of litter onto the fan-shaped toothed sliding door 43 of the gravity litter collection area 7, according to user-defined parameters, laying the litter in the smallest possible quantity. At this point, the litter is laid. After the microwave radar sensor 53 or the pyroelectric infrared sensor 54 detects that the cat has completed its excretion action, it will activate the litter cleaning mode according to the settings. In this mode, the sliding door litter cleaning module 4 and the intelligent purification module 5 work simultaneously to clean up and store the contaminated litter and cat excrement in the waste collection compartment 31 as quickly as possible. At the same time, the intelligent purification module 5 purifies the air in the litter box and performs sterilization operations accordingly, striving to provide the cat with a comfortable excretion environment without requiring the cat owner to clean. When the litter cleaning mode ends, the system will automatically enter a new litter-laying mode, repeating this process repeatedly, saving time and effort, and keeping the litter as good as new.
[0059] Compared with related technologies, the intelligent pet litter box that can dispose of and clean cat litter provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0060] This utility model utilizes the combined use of a worm gear-type litter discharge module 2 and a movable door-type litter cleaning module 4 to quickly clean and store contaminated litter and cat excrement into the waste collection compartment 31. This facilitates litter disposal for users, automatically cleaning the litter without requiring manual shoveling by the cat owner. It avoids issues such as incomplete separation or clumping during shoveling. The structure is simple, easy to use, and innovatively designed, allowing users to quickly and easily complete the complex cleaning tasks required for other litter boxes during daily cleaning and litter replacement without the need for any other tools.
