Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a portable cat litter box, belonging to the technical field of cat litter box technology. Background Technology

[0002] A litter box is a container used to collect cat excrement. Before using a litter box, cat litter needs to be poured into it, and the cat will use the litter box to relieve itself. With the improvement of living standards, more and more pet owners choose to take their cats out. Since cats will excrete waste while out, owners need to bring a litter box and cat litter for their cats to use.

[0003] In the existing technology, when the litter box is filled with cat litter, the owner folds the two sides of the opening of the litter box inward by making folds on both sides of the litter box, and then uses clips to fix the two sides of the opening of the litter box to prevent the cat litter from spilling out when the owner takes the litter box out.

[0004] However, in actual use, the clips are not securely fixed to the sides of the litter box. When the litter box is bumped or tipped over, the clips may loosen or fall off, causing gaps at the opening of the box and resulting in litter spilling out. This not only pollutes the surrounding environment but also wastes litter, making it inconvenient and troublesome to carry. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a portable cat litter box, which solves the problem in the prior art that, in the actual process of carrying a cat litter box, the clips are not securely fixed to the sides of the box. Therefore, when the cat litter box is bumped or tipped over, the clips will loosen or fall off, resulting in a gap at the opening of the box, causing cat litter to spill out. This not only pollutes the surrounding environment but also wastes cat litter, making it inconvenient and troublesome to carry.

[0006] This utility model provides a portable cat litter box for situations where it is not necessary to carry a separate cat litter box and litter bowl when traveling with a cat. The box includes a box body with creases on both sides. Several protrusions are fixed to one side of the opening end of the box body, and several fixing blocks are fixed to the other side. The fixing blocks have grooves for the protrusions to engage. A locking block is integrally formed at the end of the protrusion near the groove. The locking block has an arc surface on the side near the groove. An annular groove is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the protrusion. A slider for engaging the annular groove is slidably connected radially inside the fixing block. A reset component for limiting the sliding of the slider is also provided inside the fixing block. The box body is a cardboard box.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when carrying a litter box filled with cat litter, the owner first folds the two sides of the box opening inward along the crease. After the protrusion and the fixing block abut, the owner pinches the folded box so that it does not return to its original shape. Then, the owner presses the ends of the two sides of the box opening to drive the locking block closer and into the groove. As the locking block and the groove continue to approach each other, the slider moves horizontally away from the locking block under the guidance of the arc surface. At the same time, the reset member is compressed and generates an elastic force in the opposite direction. When the slider moves to the annular groove, the reset member releases the elastic force, causing the slider to move towards the protrusion until the slider is locked into the annular groove, thus fixing the two sides of the folded box. With the structure of this application, when the owner goes out and the litter box is bumped or tipped over, there is no gap at the opening of the box 1, the cat litter cannot be scattered, and the surrounding environment is not polluted or wasted. It is convenient to carry and very convenient.

[0008] The present invention is further configured as follows: a movable block is slidably connected in the annular groove. The movable block is composed of a first frustum and a second frustum. The larger ends of the first and second frustums are fitted together. The locking block is also provided with a groove for the first frustum to be inserted. When the first frustum is fully inserted into the groove, the edge of the first frustum coincides with the edge of the groove. A first sliding groove is provided in the fixed block. A sliding rod is integrally formed at one end of the slider. The sliding rod is slidably connected in the first sliding groove. A second sliding groove is also provided in the fixed block for the slider to slide. A reset member is located in the second sliding groove and sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod. One end of the sliding rod extends out of the fixed block and is integrally formed with a limit block. The size of the limit block is larger than the size of the sliding rod. One end of the slider is provided with an inclined surface that cooperates with the first and second frustums. In this embodiment, the reset member is a spring.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to open the box, the owner continues to press the ends of both sides of the box opening, so that the inclined surface fits against the first frustum. When pressing continues, the slider moves along the first frustum until the end of the slider abuts against the edge of the moving block. Then the slider slides into the annular groove between the second frustum and the protrusion. At the same time, the slider slides in the first groove, the spring is compressed, and elastic force is generated. Then, the owner releases the pressure on the box, the opening of the box opens, and the two sides of the box move away from each other, thereby driving the fixed block and the protrusion toward each other. As the slider moves away from the other side, it moves along the second truncated cone towards the locking block, causing the moving block to slide in the annular groove until the first truncated cone is locked into the groove. The end of the slider separates from the locking block along the outer edge of the moving block and the outer edge of the groove. At the same time, the spring releases its elastic force, causing the slider to move towards the inner wall of the fixed block. However, due to the limiting block's restriction on the sliding rod, the sliding rod cannot disengage from the second sliding groove, and the moving block cannot disengage from the first sliding groove. This completes the separation of the protrusion and the fixed block, allowing the two sides of the box to separate. The opening end of the box can then be opened directly for the cat to use, which is very convenient.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: clamps are provided on both sides of the opening end of the box body, and protrusions and fixing blocks are respectively located on opposite sides of the two clamps.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution and the setting of the clamp, once the two ends on both sides of the box are fixed, the entire open end of the box can be fixed, which is very convenient.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: a partition is provided on the top of both sides of the box body, and the opposite side of the two partitions extends into the interior of the box body.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, since the box body has thickness, there is still a gap after the protrusion is inserted into the groove. In order to prevent cat litter from falling out of the gap when the box body is tilted due to bumps, the fit of the two partitions makes the opening end of the box body more tightly connected, making it less likely for cat litter to fall out of the opening end.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When carrying a litter box filled with cat litter, the owner first folds the two sides of the box opening inward along the crease. After the protrusion and the fixing block abut, the owner pinches the folded box to prevent it from returning to its original shape. Then, the owner presses the ends of the two sides of the box opening to drive the locking block closer to and into the groove. As the locking block and the groove continue to approach each other, the slider moves horizontally away from the locking block under the guidance of the arc surface. At the same time, the reset member is compressed and generates an elastic force in the opposite direction. When the slider moves to the annular groove, the reset member releases the elastic force, causing the slider to move towards the protrusion until the slider is locked into the annular groove, thus fixing the two sides of the folded box. With the structure of this application, when the owner goes out and the litter box is bumped or tipped over, there is no gap at the opening of the box 1, the cat litter cannot be scattered, and the surrounding environment is not polluted or wasted. It is convenient to carry and very convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0021] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a portable cat litter box includes a box body 1. Both sides of the box body 1 are provided with creases 20. Several protrusions 2 are fixed on one side of the opening end of the box body 1, and several fixing blocks 3 are fixed on the other side. The fixing blocks 3 are provided with grooves 4 for the protrusions 2 to be inserted. A locking block 7 is integrally formed on the end of the protrusion 2 near the groove 4. The locking block 7 is provided with an arc surface 8 on the side near the groove 4. An annular groove 5 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the protrusion 2. A slider 9 for inserting into the annular groove 5 is slidably connected radially inside the fixing block 3. A reset member 12 for limiting the sliding of the slider 9 is also provided inside the fixing block 3. The box body 1 is a cardboard box.

[0023] When carrying a litter box filled with cat litter, the owner first folds the two sides of the open end of the box 1 inward along the crease 20. After the protrusion 2 and the fixing block 3 abut, the owner pinches the folded box 1 so that it does not return to its original shape. Then, the owner presses the ends of the two sides of the open end of the box 1 to drive the locking block 7 to approach and engage with the groove 4. As the locking block 7 and the groove 4 continue to approach each other, the slider 9, guided by the arc surface 8, moves horizontally away from the locking block 7. As the slider 9 moves towards the annular groove 5, the reset member 12 is compressed, generating an elastic force in the opposite direction. When the slider 9 moves to the annular groove 5, the reset member 12 releases the elastic force, causing the slider 9 to move towards the protrusion 2 until the slider 9 is inserted into the annular groove 5. This fixes both sides of the folded box body 1. With the structure of this application, when the owner goes out and the litter box is bumped or tipped over, no gap is generated at the opening end of the box body 1, and the litter cannot be scattered. This does not pollute the surrounding environment or waste the litter. It is convenient to carry and very convenient.

[0024] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a movable block 6 is slidably connected in the annular groove 5. The movable block 6 is composed of a first frustum 14 and a second frustum 15. The large ends of the first frustum 14 and the second frustum 15 are fitted together. The locking block 7 is also provided with a groove 21 for the first frustum 14 to be inserted. When the first frustum 14 is fully inserted into the groove 21, the edge of the first frustum 14 coincides with the edge of the groove 21. A sliding groove 13 is provided in the fixing block 3. A sliding rod 11 is integrally formed at one end of the slider 9. The sliding rod 11 is slidably connected in the first sliding groove 13. A second sliding groove 17 is also provided in the fixing block 3 for the slider 9 to slide. A reset member 12 is located in the second sliding groove 17 and sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 11. One end of the sliding rod 11 extends out of the fixing block 3 and is integrally formed with a limiting block 16. The size of the limiting block 16 is larger than the size of the sliding rod 11. In this embodiment, the reset member 12 is a spring.

[0025] Among them, the size 17 of the second slide is smaller than the size 13 of the first slide.

[0026] In addition, one end of the slider 9 is provided with an inclined surface 10 that cooperates with the first frustum 14 and the second frustum 15.

[0027] When it is necessary to open the opening of box 1, the owner continues to press the ends of both sides of the opening of box 1, so that the inclined surface 10 fits against the frustum 14. When pressing continues, the slider 9 moves along the frustum 14 until the end of the slider 9 abuts against the edge of the moving block 6. Then the slider 9 slides into the annular groove 5 between the frustum 15 and the protrusion 2. At the same time, the slider 9 slides in the sliding groove 13, the spring is compressed, and elastic force is generated. Then, the owner releases the pressure on box 1, the opening of box 1 opens, and the two sides of box 1 move away from each other, thereby driving the fixing block 3 and the protrusion 2 to move away from each other. Block 9 moves along the second truncated cone 15 toward the locking block 7, causing the movable block 6 to slide in the annular groove 5 until the first truncated cone 14 is locked into the groove 21. The end of the slider 9 disengages from the locking block 7 along the outer edge of the movable block 6 and the outer edge of the groove 21. At the same time, the spring releases its elastic force, causing the slider 9 to move toward the inner wall of the fixed block 3. However, due to the limiting block 16 limiting the sliding rod 11, the sliding rod 11 cannot disengage from the second sliding groove 17, and the movable block 6 cannot disengage from the first sliding groove 13. This completes the separation of the protrusion 2 and the fixed block 3, allowing the two sides of the box 1 to separate. The opening end of the box 1 can then be opened directly for the cat to use, which is very convenient.

[0028] The setting of the second slide groove 17 being smaller than the first slide groove 13 limits the horizontal movement of the reset member 12. When the slider 9 moves within the first slide groove 13, the second slide groove 17 limits one end of the spring, causing the spring to compress and generate elastic force.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, clamping plates 18 are provided on both sides of the opening end of the box body 1, and protrusions 2 and fixing blocks 3 are located on opposite sides of the two clamping plates 18 respectively.

[0030] The clamp 18 is designed so that once the two ends on both sides of the box body 1 are fixed, the entire open end of the box body 1 can be fixed, which is very convenient.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, partitions 19 are provided on the top of both sides of the box 1, and the opposite sides of the two partitions 19 extend into the interior of the box.

[0032] Because the box body 1 has a thickness, there is still a gap after the protrusion 2 is inserted into the groove 4. In order to prevent the cat litter from falling out of the gap when the box body 1 is tilted due to bumps, the two partitions 19 are fitted together so that the opening end of the box body 1 is connected more tightly, making it less likely for the cat litter to fall out of the opening end.

[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
