[0041] In order to better understand and implement, the technical scheme in the utility model embodiment will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the utility model embodiment.

[0042] In the description of the utility model, it needs to be explained that the orientation or position relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer" and the like is the orientation or position relationship based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the modules or elements indicated must have a specific orientation, a specific orientation and operation, therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.

[0043] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the utility model belongs. The terms used in the specification of the utility model herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the utility model.

[0044] Reference Figures 1-5 The utility model provides a kind of cat litter basin of cat litter rake 4 can be stored, including the frame 1 of rectangular shape, first containing groove 11 and the second containing groove 12 of being sequentially set with first containing groove 11 along its length direction are set on this frame 1.Wherein, the first containing groove 11 is placed with separable basin body 2, and the basin body 2 is used to receive cat litter;The second containing groove 12 is placed with separable rake box 3.

[0045] In addition, the cat litter basin further comprises a cat litter rake 4 and a moving mechanism 5 movably arranged on the side of the frame 1 and capable of reciprocating along the length direction of the frame 1. Preferably, the moving mechanism 5 is provided with two groups, which are arranged on the two sides in the width direction of the frame 1, and the two ends of the cat litter rake 4 are rotatably arranged on the two moving mechanisms 5 so as to be transversely arranged on the frame 1. Thus, when the moving mechanism 5 reciprocates along the length direction of the frame 1, it can synchronously drive the cat litter rake 4 to reciprocate along the length direction; when the cat litter rake 4 is driven to move from one end of the basin body 2 away from the rake box 3 to the end close to the rake box 3, it can rake out the feces in the cat litter.

[0046] In addition, the moving mechanism 5 can also drive the cat litter rake 4 to move up and down along the height direction of the frame 1. Thus, when the cat litter rake 4 rakes out the feces in the cat litter, and the moving mechanism 5 drives the cat litter rake 4 to move obliquely upward (i.e. synchronously move forward and upward), the cat litter rake 4 can drive the feces to move upward and be pushed into the rake box 3, and then fall into the second containing groove 12 through the rake box 3.

[0047] When the cat feces cleaning is completed, the moving mechanism 5 can drive the cat litter rake 4 to move downward and abut against the rake box 3, and can drive the cat litter rake 4 to rotate to gradually flatten, so as to realize the storage of the cat litter rake 4 in the rake box 3. In this way, the space in the basin body 2 is not occupied, the activity space of the pet cat in the first containing groove is ensured, and there is no risk of scratching the pet cat, which is safe and reliable.

[0048] Referring to Figures 4-5 Specifically, the moving mechanism 5 comprises a fixed shell 51 movably arranged on the frame 1, a first driving device 53 arranged on the fixed shell 51, and a sliding shell 52 connected with the output end of the first driving device 53. Preferably, the first driving device 53 is a driving motor, a lead screw 54 is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor, and the sliding shell 52 is slidably arranged on the lead screw 54. The end of the cat litter rake 4 is provided with a rotating seat 45 rotatably arranged on the sliding shell 52. Thus, when the driving motor drives the lead screw 54 to rotate, it can drive the sliding shell 52 to move up and down along the lead screw 54, and drive the cat litter rake 4 to move up and down through the rotating seat 45.

[0049] Of course, it should be noted that in other embodiments, the first driving device 53 can also be arranged on the sliding shell 52, and at this time the first driving device 53 is a driving motor, a gear is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor, and a rack vertically arranged and in mesh transmission with the gear is arranged on the fixed shell 51. Thus, when the driving motor drives the gear to rotate, it can make it move up and down along the rack, and then realize the driving of the sliding shell 52 to move up and down relative to the fixed shell 51, which can also achieve the same technical effect, and therefore is not limited here.

[0050] Further, a limiting structure is arranged between the sliding shell 52 and the rotating seat 45, and an elastic member is arranged on the rotating seat 45, which abuts against the rotating seat 45 and the sliding shell 52. Specifically, the limiting structure comprises a limiting slot 452 arranged on the rotating seat 45 and extending along the circumferential direction, and a limiting block (not shown in the figure) arranged on the sliding shell 52. Thus, under the elastic force of the elastic member, the sliding shell 52 can be driven to rotate and abut against the limiting block through the limiting slot 452 to be fixed on the sliding shell 52, thereby realizing the angle limiting and fixing of the cat litter rake 4. When the moving mechanism 5 drives the cat litter rake 4 to move downward and abut against the rake box 3, the rotating seat 45 can be driven to rotate against the elastic force of the elastic member, thereby driving the cat litter rake 4 to rotate to gradually flatten.

[0051] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the positions of the limiting slot 452 and the limiting block can be interchanged, which can also achieve the same technical effects, and are not limited herein.

[0052] More specifically, the elastic member is a torsion spring 6, which comprises a torsion spring body 61 and a first torsion arm 62 and a second torsion arm 63 arranged at two ends of the torsion spring body 61. The torsion spring body 61 is sleeved on the rotating seat 45. The rotating seat 45 is provided with a clamping slot 451, and the first torsion arm 62 is clamped in the clamping slot 451. The second torsion arm 63 abuts against the sliding shell 52.

[0053] Thus, under the action of the torsion spring 6, the rotating seat 45 can be fixed on the sliding shell 52. When the moving mechanism 5 drives the cat litter rake 4 to move downward and abut against the rake box 3, the cat litter rake 4 can be driven to rotate against the elastic force of the torsion spring 6 to gradually flatten, thereby realizing the storage in the rake box 3. When the moving mechanism 5 drives the cat litter rake 4 to move upward and gradually separate from the rake box 3, the cat litter rake 4 can be gradually reset under the elastic force of the torsion spring 6 until the rotating seat 45 is fixed on the sliding shell 52 by the limiting structure, at which time the angle of the cat litter rake 4 is fixed.

[0054] Referring again to Figures 4-5 The moving mechanism 5 further comprises a second driving device 55 arranged on the fixed shell 51. The output end of the second driving device 55 is provided with a gear 56, and the bottom of the frame 1 is provided with a rack 57 extending along the length direction of the frame 1. The gear 56 is in meshing transmission with the rack 57. Preferably, the second driving device 55 is a driving motor, and the output shaft of the driving motor is connected with the gear 56.

[0055] Thus, when the driving motor drives the gear 56 to reciprocate on the rack 57, the fixed shell 51 can be driven to reciprocate along the length direction of the frame 1, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement of the cat litter rake 4 along the length direction of the frame 1.

[0056] Referring back to Figure 3 The cat litter rake 4 comprises a main rod 41 arranged along the width direction of the frame 1 and a plurality of branch rods 42 arranged at intervals on the main rod 41, and the rotating seat 45 is arranged at the end of the main rod 41. The sleeve 46 is sleeved on the rotating seat 45, which covers the connection between the main rod 41 and the rotating seat 45, thereby improving the aesthetics of the product.

[0057] The cat litter rake 4 further comprises two side shovels 43 in abutting cooperation with the inner side wall of the basin body 2, and the two side shovels 43 are respectively connected with the ends of the plurality of branch rods 42 at the two ends of the main rod 41. When the moving mechanism 5 drives the cat litter rake 4 to reciprocate along the length direction of the basin body 2, the side shovels 43 can abut against the inner side wall of the basin body 2 to scrape off the sticky substances, and finally the sticky substances are pushed into the second accommodating groove 12 by the cat litter rake 4.

[0058] In addition, the cat litter rake 4 further comprises a sand smoothing plate 44 arranged between the two side shovels 43 and connected with the ends of the plurality of branch rods 42. When cat litter is added into the basin body 2, the cat litter will accumulate at a position. At this time, the moving mechanism 5 can drive the cat litter rake 4 to rise to a certain height, and then drive the cat litter rake 4 to reciprocate along the length direction of the basin body 2. At this time, the sand smoothing plate 44 can smooth the accumulated cat litter, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0059] In summary, the cat litter basin provided by the utility model can accommodate the cat litter rake 4. After cleaning, the moving mechanism 5 can drive the cat litter rake 4 to rotate and gradually flatten to be accommodated in the rake box 3. By accommodating the cat litter rake 4, the space in the basin body 2 is not occupied, the activity space of the pet cat in the first accommodating groove is ensured, and there is no risk of scratching the pet cat, which is safe and reliable.
