[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This embodiment provides an automatic cat litter dispensing device, including: an assembly part 1, the assembly part 1 including an outer cylinder 11, an inner cylinder 12, a drain outlet 16 and a slot 18, the slot 18 and the drain outlet 16 are both located on the side wall of the inner cylinder 12, the inner cylinder 12 is used to store cat litter and provide space for cats to use, a waste storage box 13 is fixedly provided on the outside of the drain outlet 16 for storing waste, a material storage box is fixedly provided on the outside of the slot 18 for temporarily storing cat litter, and the outer cylinder 11 is located on the outside of the inner cylinder 12 to wrap the inner cylinder 12, the waste storage box 13 and the material storage box;

[0030] Annular cover 2 is located between outer cylinder 11 and inner cylinder 12. Annular cover 2 is snapped into both outer cylinder 11 and inner cylinder 12, thus isolating sludge storage box 13 and material storage box from the outside.

[0031] The bottom plate 3 is located at the bottom of the outer cylinder 11 and the inner cylinder 12. The bottom plate 3 is fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 11 and rotatably connected to the inner cylinder 12. The bottom plate 3 is equipped with a power source to drive the inner cylinder 12 to rotate.

[0032] Filter section 5 is inserted into slot 18 and is used to filter large pieces of dirt in cat litter.

[0033] The sealing part 4 is snapped onto the top of the inner cylinder 12 to fix the filter part 5. The sealing part 4 is removed from the top of the inner cylinder 12, the filter part 5 is pulled out from the slot 18, the sealing part 4 is snapped onto the top of the inner cylinder 12, and the filter part 5 is fixed in the slot 18.

[0034] The assembly part 1 also includes a support block assembly, a groove assembly, and a socket 17. The support block assembly includes a first support block 14 and a second support block 15, and the groove assembly includes an inner groove 19 and an outer groove 10.

[0035] The first support block 14 is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 12 and slidably connected to the outer cylinder 11. The second support block 15 is fixedly disposed on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 12 and slidably connected to the outer cylinder 11. The inner groove 19 is disposed at the front end of the inner wall of the inner cylinder 12, the outer groove 10 is disposed at the front end of the outer wall of the inner cylinder 12, and the insertion port 17 is disposed at the front end of the inner cylinder 12 and communicates with the slot 18.

The sealing cover 41 is fastened to the top of the inner cylinder 12, blocking the handle 52 and preventing the filter screen 51 from sliding out of the slot 18.

[0040] Initially, the drain outlet 16 is located on the left side of the inner cylinder 12, the filter section 5 is located on the right side of the inner cylinder 12, and the cat litter is located at the bottom center of the inner cylinder 12, between the drain outlet 16 and the filter section 5. When large pieces of dirt are mixed in with the cat litter, the motor inside the base plate 3 is started. The motor drives the inner cylinder 12 to rotate counterclockwise. When the filter section 5 rotates to below the inner cylinder 12, the cat litter leaks through the mesh of the filter screen 51 into the storage bin. Large pieces of dirt continue to rotate with the inner cylinder 12. When the drain outlet 16 rotates to below the inner cylinder 12, large pieces of dirt enter the waste storage bin 13 from the drain outlet 16. After opening the waste storage bin 13 and cleaning out the dirt, the motor is operated again to drive the inner cylinder 12 to rotate clockwise. As the filter section 5 descends... Cat litter leaks from filter 51 into inner cylinder 12 for the cat's use. When filter 51 needs cleaning, first open the ring cover 2, grasp the sealing cover 41 and pull it outwards to make the outer locking strip 43 fall out of the outer groove 10 and the inner locking strip 42 fall out of the inner groove 19. The sealing cover 41 is removed from inner cylinder 12. Pull the handle 52 outwards to pull the filter 51 out of slot 18. After cleaning, insert the filter 51 into slot 18 from the insertion port 17. Then fasten the sealing cover 41 to the edge of inner cylinder 12 so that the outer locking strip 43 is in the outer groove 10 and the inner locking strip 42 is in the inner groove 19. Fix the sealing part 4 on inner cylinder 12, cover the filter part 5, and prevent the filter part 5 from falling off inner cylinder 12.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way.
