[0024] The following will describe in detail the implementation of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the implementation process of how this application uses technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects can be fully understood and implemented accordingly.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0026] Figures 1-3 As one embodiment of this utility model, the specific problem addressed by this embodiment is as follows: Many pet-owning families use cat litter boxes. To keep the litter box clean, it is necessary to clean the cat excrement in the litter box every day and change the litter every month. When changing the litter, it is necessary to manually clean the litter box with a shovel. However, because the space of the litter box itself is small, it will obstruct the work of the small shovel in the corners and edges, and it is difficult to clean up the fine cat litter. The cleaning is quite laborious and requires bending over for a long time, which reduces the cleaning efficiency. Based on the above problems, the litter box described in this embodiment is designed to be easy to clean. By disassembling the overall structure of the litter box, the entire litter box is broken down into a detachable body, a cover 2, and a filter disc 3. After separating the body and the cover 2, a larger cleaning space is created compared to the original litter box. Moreover, based on the fact that the filter disc 3 receives pet excrement, separating the filter disc 3 from the litter can simultaneously remove the excrement from the litter, that is, separate the excrement from the litter, which is convenient, quick, and improves cleaning efficiency.

[0027] Specifically, an easy-to-clean cat litter box is provided, which is equipped with a box body 1, and a detachable cover 2 is provided on the upper end of the box body 1. A filter disc 3 for filtering cat litter is installed inside the box body 1. After separating the box body 1 from the cover 2, the entire space inside the box body 1 can be exposed. Based on the setting of the filter disc 3, the excrement is effectively separated into the box body 1, which increases the cleaning efficiency. Moreover, the setting of the filter disc 3 can filter cat litter and prevent cat litter from overflowing.

[0028] The box body 1 includes a carrier body 11. The inner side wall of the carrier body 11 is provided with a locking groove 12 and a docking groove 13 is provided on the outer side wall of the carrier body 11. In this specific embodiment, the opening height of the locking groove 12 is less than the opening height of the docking groove 13. The opening end position of the locking groove 12 is located below the center line of the carrier body 11. The docking groove 13 is opened on the top surface of the carrier body 11 and its ending position is located above the center line of the carrier body 11. A plurality of alignment holes 14 are opened on the top surface of the carrier body 11 where the locking groove 12 and the docking groove 13 are located. The alignment holes 14 are opened vertically from top to bottom.

[0029] The cover 2 includes a top cover 21 and an annular plate 22. A ring-shaped block 23, adapted to the mating groove 13, is installed at the lower end of the annular plate 22. A guide post is installed on the annular plate 22, with the vertical extension length of the guide post being less than the extension length of the ring-shaped block 23. The diameter of the alignment hole 14 is adapted to the diameter of the guide post. This provides guidance and limitation when the cover 2 is fastened onto the carrier body 11, preventing misalignment after fastening. The carrier body 11 has an inlet 4, and both the top cover 21 and the annular plate 22 have through cavities adapted to the inlet 4. Both the carrier body and the top cover 21 are open. The top cover 21 and the carrier body 11 are arranged in a conformal manner. A foot pedal 15 is installed at one end of the top cover 21 to facilitate the cat's paw pads to fall back into the litter box when the cat leaves the litter box. The foot pedal 15 is set on the inner side wall of the top cover 21 and has several leakage holes. The opening of the filter holes 33 on the filter plate 32 covers the opening position of the leakage holes.

[0030] The filter disc 3 includes an inner ring plate 31 and a filter plate 32 installed at the bottom of the inner ring plate 31. The filter plate 32 has a plurality of filter holes 33. The inner ring plate 31 is L-shaped and includes a docking end 311 and an extension section 312. The docking end 311 is adapted to the width of the locking groove 12 and is perpendicular to the extension section 312. The extension section 312 extends vertically downward and docks with the top surface of the filter plate 32. Two symmetrical hand slots 313 are provided on the side wall of the extension section 312. Rubber protrusions are attached to the inner wall of the hand slots 313 to facilitate pulling the filter plate 32 out of the carrier body 11. Then, the inner ring plate 31 or the filter plate 32 is shaken to filter out the cat litter and obtain the excrement that needs to be cleaned. After cleaning, the filter disc 3 is put back into the carrier body 11 as a whole. As described in this embodiment, the cat litter needs to be covered on the filter disc 3.

[0031] Place the filter disc 3 in the cat litter, so that the excrement is on the filter disc 3 as soon as it enters the litter box. Then lift the filter disc 3 upwards, and all the pet excrement in the litter box will be carried away by the filter disc 3. This is not only convenient and quick, but also prevents leakage and improves cleanliness.

[0032] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0033] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
