The bottom of the litter storage tank 21 is connected to the litter inlet 23 of the worm gear housing 22. A connecting motor 25 is installed on one side of the worm gear housing 22. A worm gear 26 is mounted on the output shaft of the connecting motor 25, and the worm gear 26 passes through the worm gear housing 22 and... Extending into the interior of the worm gear housing 22, a circular sweeper litter cleaning module 3 is installed inside the litter box chamber 1. The circular sweeper litter cleaning module 3 includes a drive motor 31, and a cleaning brush 32 is provided on one side of the output shaft of the drive motor 31. A soft rubber movable piece 33 is fixedly connected to the drive motor 31. An intelligent purification module 4 is installed inside the litter box chamber 1. The intelligent purification module 4 includes a housing 41, an air purification filter 44, a fan 45, and a microwave radar sensor 42. The microwave radar sensor 42 is installed on the housing 41.

[0029] The cleaning brush 32 is fixed to one side of the output shaft of the drive motor 31 and makes a semi-circular circumferential motion along the axis of the drive motor 31 to clean cat litter or excrement in the litter accumulation area. The cleaning brush can be a scraper or a comb.

[0030] The flexible rubber movable sheet 33 is used to isolate the sand accumulation area from the area above the waste collection compartment 51. It can move flexibly and is automatically pushed open when the cleaning brush 32 moves to the position to facilitate the falling of waste.

[0031] The intelligent purification module 4 also includes a pyroelectric infrared sensor 43, which can be used to replace the microwave radar sensor 42 and give it the same effect.

[0032] The intelligent purification module 4 also includes an ultraviolet lamp 46 installed on the housing 41.

[0033] The air purification filter element 44 includes a pre-filter, an adsorption layer, a bio-enzyme filtration layer, and a special filter layer.

[0034] Primary filter: The material is non-woven fabric, nylon mesh or plastic mesh. Its function is to prevent cat hair and other debris from entering the module, and it can also intercept some larger dust and debris.

[0035] Adsorption layer: The material is high-quality activated carbon granules, which are used to strongly absorb odors in the litter box, including the smell of urine and feces, and keep the surrounding air fresh.

[0036] Bio-enzyme filter layer: The material is a filter material containing bio-enzymes. Its function is to decompose organic matter in urine and feces, further reducing the production of odors.

[0037] Special filter layer: The material is a filter material containing nano-silver, which can inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria and reduce the odor produced by bacteria decomposing excrement.

[0038] The intelligent purification module 4 completes the air circulation and purification process through the intake and exhaust of the fan 45. The air purification filter 44 can filter and purify the air. The microwave radar sensor 42 detects moving objects based on the Doppler effect and then automatically performs corresponding switching or other control operations. When the pyroelectric infrared sensor 43 detects the infrared rays emitted by the pet, it automatically performs corresponding switching or other control operations. The ultraviolet lamp 46 is placed in the module and can irradiate the cabin space, emitting 253.7nm short-wave sterilization ultraviolet light, which can effectively disinfect and sterilize.

[0039] The intelligent purification module 4 also includes a battery 47, a control panel 48, an electric heating element 49, a hydrogen sulfide sensor 410, an ammonia sensor 411, and an LED light 412. The battery 47, control panel 48, electric heating element 49, hydrogen sulfide sensor 410, ammonia sensor 411, and LED light 412 are all installed on the housing.

[0040] The battery 47 allows the module to be powered by its internal lithium battery, while the user can charge the lithium battery using an external power source. The heating element 49 is placed in a position on the module where airflow can be created. By powering the heating element, the overall temperature inside the cabin can be increased, thereby accelerating the evaporation of moisture and controlling the humidity inside the cabin. This also improves the comfort of the pet inside the cabin during cold seasons. The LED light 412 can be placed in the module to provide ambient light of appropriate brightness in dark environments, helping the pet to better observe the environment inside the cabin and reducing anxiety caused by poor visibility.

[0041] The hydrogen sulfide sensor 410 can detect the hydrogen sulfide content in the cabin air, and then automatically perform corresponding switching or other control operations. The ammonia sensor 411 can detect the ammonia content in the cabin air, and then automatically perform corresponding switching or other control operations.

[0042] The intelligent purification module 4 also includes an ozone generator 413 and a negative ion generator 414, both of which are installed on one side of the fan 45.

[0043] By placing the ozone generator 413 in a position within the module that creates airflow, dust is reduced, sterilized, and odors are eliminated while increasing the oxygen content of the cabin air. By placing the negative ion generator 414 in a position within the module that creates airflow, air quality is improved, thus achieving the purpose of purifying the air.

[0044] The intelligent purification module 4 also includes a temperature sensor 415 and a humidity sensor 416, both of which are mounted on the fan 45.

[0045] The humidity sensor 416 can detect the humidity inside the cabin, and then automatically perform corresponding switching or other control operations. The temperature sensor 415 can detect the temperature inside the cabin, and then automatically perform corresponding switching or other control operations.

[0046] The litter box chamber 1 is equipped with a litter waste collection module 5. The litter waste collection module 5 is located at the bottom of the round-broom litter cleaning module 3. The litter waste collection module 5 includes a waste collection compartment 51. A capacity warning module 52 is provided on one side of the waste collection compartment 51.

[0047] The waste collection compartment 51 is located below the circular sweeper litter cleaning module 3, so that the circular sweeper brushes sweep the litter waste in the gravity litter collection area 7 into it. The capacity warning module 52 uses sensors to detect the storage status in the waste collection compartment and promptly reminds the user if it is full.

[0048] The litter box 1 has a door 6 on its right side and a gravity litter collection area 7 inside.

[0049] The working principle of the novel litter box with automatic litter dispensing structure provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0050] 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 gravity litter collection area 7 according to user-defined parameters, laying the litter in the smallest possible way. At this point, the litter laying is complete. After the microwave radar sensor 42 and the pyroelectric infrared sensor 43 detect that the cat has completed its excretion action, they will activate the litter cleaning mode according to the settings. In this mode, the circular litter cleaning module 3 and the intelligent purification module 4 work simultaneously to clean up the contaminated litter and cat excrement as quickly as possible and store them in the waste collection compartment 51. At the same time, the intelligent purification module 4 will purify the air in the litter box and perform sterilization operations accordingly. 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 box clean as new.

[0051] Compared with related technologies, the novel litter box with automatic litter dispensing structure provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0052] This invention utilizes a combination of a worm gear-type litter discharge module 2 and a circular sweeper-type litter cleaning module 3 to quickly clean and store contaminated cat litter and cat excrement in the waste collection compartment 51. It can automatically clean the litter without requiring the cat owner to manually scoop it, avoiding issues such as incomplete separation or clumping during scooping. It can also automatically add litter, enabling long-term litter management and providing convenience for people on short business trips.
