Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this utility model relate to a pet litter box, and more particularly to a bowl body, a base, and a pet litter box, which makes the structure of the pet litter box more compact and convenient for packaging and transportation. Background Technology

[0002] As people's material living standards continue to improve, their demands for spiritual life are also gradually increasing, leading to a growing number of people who enjoy keeping pet cats and dogs. Many cat and dog lovers adore their pets and have even purchased dedicated pet cabins for them. Most existing cat litter boxes are now smart litter boxes, which have greatly simplified the lives of cat owners, allowing them to pet their cats without having to clean up litter.

[0003] Because existing pet litter boxes are generally large and have many accessories, they usually need to be disassembled or packaged separately from the accessories before being transported. This packaging method greatly increases the cost of packaging and transportation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of some embodiments of this utility model is to design a basin, a base and a pet litter box, which is not only compact in structure, but also allows the pet litter box to be packaged and transported together with accessories. This not only makes it convenient to pack the pet litter box, but also greatly reduces the packing and transportation costs of the pet litter box.

[0005] Some embodiments of this utility model provide a basin body, which is at least partially disposed within the cavity of the base of a pet litter box and is rotatable relative to the base.

[0006] When the basin is rotated at a preset angle relative to the base, a storage space is formed between the basin and the base.

[0007] In addition, some embodiments of this utility model also provide a base on which the basin as described above is provided and is rotatably connected to the basin, so that the basin can be flipped relative to the base.

[0008] The base has a cavity into which the basin is at least partially inserted. The base is used to form a storage space between the basin and the basin when the basin is rotated at a preset angle relative to the base.

[0009] In addition, some embodiments of this utility model also provide a pet litter box, including:

[0010] The basin as described above;

[0011] The base as described above;

[0012] The basin is at least partially disposed within the cavity of the base and is rotatable relative to the base;

[0013] When the basin is rotated at a preset angle relative to the base, a storage space is formed between the basin and the base, and part of the storage space extends into the cavity.

[0014] As can be seen from the above, since at least part of the litter box body is located within the cavity of the litter box base, and the body can be flipped relative to the base, a storage space can be formed between the body and the base when the body is flipped at a preset angle. This storage space can accommodate various accessories of the litter box, thus avoiding the need to increase the size of the packaging box, packaging costs, and transportation costs due to too many accessories and nowhere to store them when packaged.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the various embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details have been presented in the various embodiments of this utility model to enable the reader to better understand this application. However, the technical solutions claimed in this application can be implemented even without these technical details and with various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] The first embodiment of this utility model relates to a basin, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the basin 1 is at least partially disposed within the cavity 21 of the base 2 of the pet litter box, and the basin 1 is rotatable relative to the base 2. Wherein, combined with Figure 4 As shown, when the basin 1 is rotated at a preset angle relative to the base 2, a storage space 4 is formed between the basin 1 and the base 2.

[0025] As can be seen from the above, since at least part of the litter box body 1 is located inside the cavity 21 of the base 2 of the litter box, and the body 1 can be flipped relative to the base 2, when the body 1 is flipped relative to the base 2 at a preset angle, a storage space 4 can be formed between the body 1 and the base 2. Various accessories of the litter box can be stored through this storage space 4. This avoids increasing the size of the packaging box, packaging costs, and transportation costs when the package is in the packaging state because there are too many accessories and nowhere to store them.

[0026] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the basin 1 has a top side 11, a bottom side 12 opposite to the top side 11, and a side wall 13 disposed between the top side 11 and the bottom side 12. The side wall 13 encloses a toilet space 14 between the top side 11 and the bottom side 12, allowing a pet to enter. Next, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a pivot portion 15 is provided on the side wall 13, and the pivot portion 15 is rotatably connected to the base 2, allowing the basin 1 to be flipped relative to the base 2. For example, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pivot 15 is a convex shaft provided on the side wall 13 of the basin 1. This pivot 15 is also coaxially connected to a transmission gear 32. Through the meshing transmission gear 32 and the drive gear 31 connected to the main shaft of the motor 33, the pivot 15 can drive the basin 1 to rotate relative to the base 2 under the drive of the transmission gear 32. Furthermore, it should be noted that... Figure 2 It is not difficult to see that the motor 33, the drive gear 31, and the transmission gear 32 together constitute the drive device 3 that drives the basin 1 to rotate.

[0027] Furthermore, in order to create a storage space 4 between the basin 1 and the base 2 when the basin 1 is rotated at a preset angle relative to the base 2, in other embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pivot 15 is positioned along the length or width of the basin 1, towards the side closest to the basin 1, allowing the basin 1 to rotate eccentrically around the pivot 15. Thus, when the basin 1 is rotated to a preset angle relative to the base 2, as... Figure 4 As shown, a storage space 4 can be formed between the basin 1 and the base 2. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the side wall 13 of the basin 1 can also be spherical, so that when the entire basin 1 is flipped out of the cavity 21 of the base 2, the basin 1 has a large flipping angle, so that a storage space 4 can also be formed between the basin 1 and the base 2. In addition, the pivot is set on one side of the basin 1, so that the basin 1 flips eccentrically. Thus, when the basin 1 flips relative to the base 2, the overall height of the pet litter box can be reduced. For example, during the process of flipping and emptying the excrement, in order to avoid interference between the basin 1 and the base 2, the height of the base 2 in the vertical plane direction = short flipping radius + reserved height. And, when the reserved height remains unchanged, the height of the base 2 in the vertical plane direction can be reduced by reducing the short flipping radius, thereby reducing the overall height of the pet litter box. This makes it easier and more convenient for pets to enter the basin 1, meeting the needs of pet litter box use in more scenarios and improving the practicality of pet litter box.

[0028] Additionally, as a preferred embodiment, in other embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the top side 11 of the basin 1 is inclined, so that when the basin 1 is in the initial position, the top side 11 of the basin 1 and the upper edge 22 of the base 2 can form an angle, making it easier for the pet to enter the basin 1. Figure 3 As shown, a portion of the basin 1 may protrude beyond the upper edge 22 of the base 2. When the basin 1 is rotated relative to the base 2 at a predetermined angle, as... Figure 4 As shown, the angle between the top side 11 of the basin 1 and the ground can be -10° to +10°. For example, combined with... Figure 4 As shown, when the basin 1 is rotated at a preset angle relative to the base 2, the top side 11 of the basin 1 can be basically parallel to the ground. It is not difficult to see that the shape of the pet litter box does not protrude significantly at this time, which is more in line with the rectangular shape of a general packaging box. This greatly reduces the packaging size and reduces packaging and transportation costs.

[0029] Furthermore, it should be noted that the storage space 4 mentioned in this embodiment can store accessories such as the footrest, support legs, and waste collection device of the pet litter box. Therefore, when packing the cat litter box, these accessories will not change the shape of the pet litter box. This not only makes it easier to pack the pet litter box, but also greatly reduces the packing and transportation costs of the pet litter box.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Embodiment two of this utility model relates to a base, such as Figure 1 As shown, the base 2 is provided with a basin 1 as described in Embodiment 1, and the base 2 is also rotatably connected to the basin 1, so that the basin 1 can be flipped relative to the base 2.

[0032] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the base 2 has a cavity 21, which is at least partially invaded by the basin 1. At the same time, the base 2 is used to form a storage space 4 between the basin 1 and the basin 1 when the basin 1 is rotated at a preset angle relative to the base 2.

[0033] As can be seen from the above, since the cavity 21 of the base 2 can be at least partially invaded by the litter box 1, and the rotating connection between the base 2 and the litter box 1 allows the litter box 1 to be flipped relative to the base 2, and when the litter box 1 is flipped at a preset angle relative to the base 2, a storage space 4 can be formed between the base 2 and the litter box 1. Various accessories of the litter box can be stored through this storage space 4. Therefore, during the packaging process of the litter box, the litter box and its accessories can be packaged as a whole. The litter box will not increase in size or number of packaging boxes due to the increase of accessories. This avoids increasing the size of the packaging box and increasing packaging and transportation costs due to too many accessories and nowhere to store them during the packaging process.

[0034] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the base 2 includes: a bottom 23, a side portion 24 circumferentially surrounding the bottom 23, and, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the side portion 24 forms a cavity 21 on the bottom 23, and the side of the side portion 24 away from the bottom 23 forms the upper edge 22 of the base 2. Meanwhile, as... Figure 1 As shown, a support portion 25 for supporting the basin 1 is also provided on the side portion 24, allowing the basin 1 to be rotated relative to the base 2. For example, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support portion 25 can protrude from the upper edge 22 of the side portion 24, thereby enabling the support portion 25 to combine with the basin body 1 when supporting the basin body 1. Figure 3As shown, the support 25 can lift the entire basin 1 away from the bottom 23 of the base 2, so that when the basin 1 is flipped relative to the base 2, it will not contact the bottom 23 and side 24 of the base 2, thereby reducing the resistance of the basin 1 during flipping and making it easier for the basin 1 to flip relative to the base 2. It should be noted that, as can be seen from the solution of Embodiment 1, since the basin 1 is flipped through the rotatable connection between the pivot 15 and the base 2, in order for the support 25 to support the basin 1 without affecting its flipping, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pivot part 15 is a convex shaft provided on the side wall 13 of the basin body 1, and corresponding to the convex shaft, as... Figure 1 As shown, the support part 25 is also provided with a mounting groove 251, and the mounting groove 251 can be an arc-shaped groove that cooperates with the convex shaft. By inserting the convex shaft into the mounting groove 251, the convex shaft can be rotatably connected to the support part 25 through the mounting groove. It is easy to see that the support part 25 can not only support the basin 1, but also rotate the basin 1 relative to the base 2 through the rotatable connection between the convex shaft and the mounting groove 251.

[0035] Furthermore, in other embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the basin 1 is in the initial position, the upper edge 22 of the base 2 and the top side 11 of the basin 1 can form an angle, allowing a portion of the basin 1 to protrude beyond the upper edge 22 of the base 2. When the basin 1 is rotated relative to the base 2 at a preset angle, as... Figure 4 As shown, the angle formed between the upper edge 22 of the base 2 and the top side 11 of the basin 1 is -10° to +10°. For example, in some embodiments, the upper edge 22 of the base 2 can be a horizontal side, combined with... Figure 4 As shown, when the basin 1 is rotated at a preset angle relative to the base 2, the top side 11 of the basin 1 can be parallel to the upper edge 22 of the base 2. At this time, the shape of the pet litter box does not protrude significantly, which makes it easier to pack the pet litter box.

[0036] Example 3

[0037] Embodiment 3 of this utility model relates to a pet litter box, such as... Figure 6 As shown, it includes: a basin 1 as described in Embodiment 1 and a base 2 as described in Embodiment 2.

[0038] Among them, combined Figure 1 As shown, the basin 1 is at least partially disposed within the cavity 21 of the base 2, and the basin 1 is rotatable relative to the base 2. Furthermore, when the basin 1 is rotated at a preset angle relative to the base 2, a storage space is formed between the basin 1 and the base 2, and part of the storage space 4 intrudes into the cavity 21.

[0039] As can be seen from the above, since at least part of the litter box body 1 is located inside the cavity 21 of the base 2 of the litter box, and the body 1 can be flipped relative to the base 2, and when the body 1 is flipped relative to the base 2 at a preset angle, a storage space 4 can be formed between the body 1 and the base 2. Various accessories of the litter box can be stored through this storage space 4, and the litter box and its accessories can be packaged as a whole. Therefore, during the packaging process of the litter box, the volume of the litter box will not increase due to the increase of accessories, nor will the number of packaging boxes increase. This avoids the increase in packaging box size, packaging cost, and transportation cost due to too many accessories and nowhere to store them when packaging.

[0040] Additionally, it is worth mentioning that in some other embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the pet litter box also includes a footstool 5 and several support legs 6. The footstool 5 can be placed on one side of the base 2, facilitating access for pets such as cats and dogs to the toilet space 14 of the litter box 1. Each support leg 6 is detachably mounted on the bottom 23 of the base 2, for example, in conjunction with... Figure 5 As shown, each support leg 6 can be screwed onto the bottom 23 of the base 2. Through this screwing connection, each support leg 6 can support the base 2 after installation. Furthermore, the support of the support legs 6 separates the base 2 from the surface supporting the litter box, creating a recessed space 7 between the base 2 and the surface, allowing pets to crawl in or out. This recessed space 7 also facilitates the installation and removal of the litter box 8 from the base 2. For example, the litter box 8 can be slidably connected to the bottom 23 of the base 2, allowing it to slide into or out of the recessed space 7. In addition, combined with… Figure 6 As shown, the storage space 4 formed between the base 2 and the basin 1 can also accommodate the support legs 6 and the footrest 5, or the support legs 6 can be stored in the toilet space 14 of the basin 1. Therefore, when packing the pet litter box, the volume of the litter box will not increase, thus greatly reducing the packing and transportation costs. Furthermore, through... Figure 6 It is easy to see that when the footstool 5 is stored in the storage space 4, the top side 11 of the litter box 1 can be parallel to the upper edge 22 of the base 2 under the support of the footstool 5, so that the litter box can be packed more conveniently.

[0041] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, in other embodiments, such as Figure 7As shown, the footstool 5 includes a housing 51 and a top cover 52. The top cover 52 can be placed on the housing 51 to open or close it. Therefore, the housing 51 can also be used to store other accessories for the litter box, or it can be used as a storage box to store other pet supplies and / or household items. For example, the housing 51 can be used to store cat litter and / or support legs 6, etc. Alternatively, the housing 51 can also be used to store household items such as soap and garbage bags. Furthermore, by closing the housing 51 with the top cover 52, the top cover 52 can also serve as a footrest for the pet entering the toilet space 14 of the litter box 1, thereby further improving the practicality of the footstool 5 and expanding its application scenarios.

[0042] In other embodiments, the bottom side 12 of the basin 1 can be rectangular, thereby increasing the volume of the toilet space 14 of the basin 1 to further facilitate pets to relieve themselves in the toilet space 14. However, when the basin 1 is tilted to empty excrement, the rectangular bottom side 12 of the basin 1 will create a space between the basin 1 and the base 2, allowing the pet to crawl into the cavity 21 of the base 2. If the basin 1 is tilted in the opposite direction at this time, the pet may be pinched and injured. To avoid this phenomenon, in other embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the bottom 23 of the base 2 is also provided with an escape opening 26. The escape opening 26 allows the pet to escape from the sunken space 7, effectively preventing the pet from being pinched and thus protecting the pet. In addition, the escape opening 26 makes it easier to store items when the pet litter box is in the packed state.

[0043] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific implementations of this application, and in practical applications, various changes can be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of this application.
