[0045] In addition, it also includes the transmission assembly being arranged between pedestal 21 and rotation head 11, preferably, the transmission assembly is slide rail slide bar assembly. Thus, when the first driving device 23 drives lifting seat 22 lifting movement, can drive rotation head 11 rotation through slide rail slide bar assembly to realize cat litter rake 1 rotation.

[0046] The cat litter rake assembly of the utility model can drive cat litter rake 1 rotation when driving cat litter rake 1 lifting, therefore, after driving cat litter rake 1 from cat litter basin one end to the other end to rake cat feces from cat litter, then drive cat litter rake 1 lifting and synchronously drive cat litter rake 1 rotation, so that cat feces can be pushed into the manure storage by the movement track, so it is not necessary to return to the initial end of cat litter basin and rotate cat litter rake 1 to a larger angle to drop cat feces like traditional cat litter rake 1. Therefore, the cat litter rake assembly of the utility model is not only simple in structure, and the control requirement of movement track is also relatively low, and the cost is lower.

[0047] In addition, it should be noted that when the cat litter rake is stuck with clumped cat litter, the cat litter can be thrown off by using the movement track; in addition, when the cat litter basin is stacked with cat litter, the cat litter pile can be flattened by using the movement track, which is not limited here.

[0048] Referring to Figures 2-4 The slide rail slide rod assembly includes a slide rail plate 24 provided on the base 21 and a slide rod 25 slidably provided on the slide rail plate 24.

Under the elastic force of the elastic member, the rotating head 11 can be driven to rotate and limited and fixed on the slide rod 25 by the limiting structure, thereby realizing the limiting and fixing of the cat litter rake 1.

[0052] Specifically, the limiting structure comprises a limiting groove 112 provided on the outer periphery of the rotating head 11 and extending in the circumferential direction, and a limiting block 251 provided on the sliding rod 25 and slidingly arranged in the limiting groove 112; the elastic member is a torsion spring 12, which comprises a torsion spring body 121, a first torsion arm 122 and a second torsion arm 123 provided at both ends of the torsion spring body 121, the torsion spring body 121 is sleeved on the rotating head 11, the rotating head 11 is provided with a clamping groove 111, and the first torsion arm 122 is clamped in the clamping groove 111; the second torsion arm 123 abuts against the sliding rod 25. Thus, under the elastic force of the torsion spring 12, the rotating head 11 can be driven to rotate and abut against the limiting block 251 on the sliding rod 25 through the limiting groove 112 on the rotating head 11 to achieve limiting and fixing.

[0053] Of course, it should be noted that in other embodiments, the positions of the limiting groove 112 and the limiting block 251 can be interchanged, which can also achieve the same technical effect, and are not limited herein.
