[0041] The following will be described in conjunction with the drawingsFigures 1-8 The application is further described in detail.

[0042] The application discloses a green and reusable cat litter box.

[0043] Referring to Figures 1-3 A green and reusable cat litter box, comprising an outer box 1 fitted on the surface of a folding box 2, the outer box 1 is customized according to the size of the folding box 2, and the folding box 2 is matched with the shape of the inner cavity of the outer box 1. The folding box 2 comprises side plates 21 fixed on the front and back of a U-shaped accordion fold 22. The cat litter box is mainly composed of the outer box 1 and the folding box 2. The outer box 1 is customized according to the size of the folding box 2 to ensure that the folding box 2 can be completely placed in the inner cavity of the outer box 1, and the shapes of the two are matched. The folding box 2 comprises two side plates 21, which are respectively fixed on the front and back of the U-shaped accordion fold 22. The design of the accordion fold allows the folding box 2 to be folded or unfolded when needed to adapt to different use scenarios or storage needs.

[0044] The outer box 1, the U-shaped accordion fold 22 and the side plates 21 are all made of degradable kraft paper material;

[0045] The degradable kraft paper material is an environmentally friendly material, which has little impact on the environment during production and can naturally degrade after use, reducing environmental pollution. Using this material to make cat litter boxes helps to reduce the use of plastic and other non-degradable materials, reducing the burden on the environment.

[0046] The degradable kraft paper material is easy to recycle and the recycled material can be reused, reducing resource waste. This helps to form a circular economy system for cat litter boxes, reducing the impact of garbage landfill and incineration on the environment.

[0047] The telescopic plate assembly 3 is fixed between the two side plates 21, and the telescopic plate assembly 3 is arranged at the bottom of the two side plates 21. The telescopic plate assembly 3 comprises two parallel arranged bottom plates one 31 and two bottom plates two 32. The bottom plate one 31 is fixed on the inner bottom of one side plate 21 by adhesive, and the bottom plate two 32 is fixed on the inner bottom of the other side plate 21 by adhesive. A plurality of sleeves 33 are fixed on the bottom plate two 32 near the bottom plate one 31, one end of the sleeve 33 is centrally provided with a sliding groove one 36, a sliding rod 34 is located in the sliding groove one 36 and realizes horizontal sliding, the surface of the sliding rod 34 abuts against the inner wall of the sliding groove one 36, and one end of the sliding rod 34 near the bottom plate one 31 is fixed on one side of the bottom plate one 31 near the bottom plate two 32.

[0048] The sliding rod 34 is fixed with a limiting block 37 at one end away from the bottom plate 31. The sleeve 33 is provided with a sliding groove 38 connected with the sliding groove 36. The limiting block 37 is located in the sliding groove 38 and the surface of the limiting block 37 abuts against the inner wall of the sliding groove 38. The length of the sliding groove 38 is greater than the height of the limiting block 37, so that the limiting block 37 can slide horizontally in the sliding groove 38.

[0049] Between the two side plates 21, a telescopic plate assembly 3 is fixed. The telescopic plate assembly 3 is located at the bottom of the folding box 2 and serves to support and expand the internal space of the cat litter box. The surface of the sliding rod 34 abuts against the inner wall of the sliding groove 36, ensuring stable sliding of the sliding rod 34 in the sliding groove 36. The limiting block 37 can effectively prevent the sliding rod 34 from falling out of the sliding groove 36 during sliding. When the sliding rod 34 slides to the end of the sliding groove 36, the limiting block 37 will be stuck at the end of the sliding groove 38, thereby preventing the sliding rod 34 from continuing to slide and falling out. This design improves the safety and convenience of the cat litter box.

[0050] Referring to Figures 3-8 The clamping assembly 35 is fixed at one end of the surface of the sleeve 33 close to the bottom plate 31. The clamping assembly 35 includes a mounting seat 351 movably arranged at one end of the surface of the sleeve 33 close to the bottom plate 31. A rotating shaft 352 is fixed at the center of a mounting block 353. The mounting block 353 is located in the mounting seat 351, and the rotating shaft 352 is rotatably installed at both sides of the mounting seat 351. A spherical clamping block 356 is fixed at one end of the bottom of the mounting block 353. A spring 355 is fixed at one end of the bottom of the mounting block 353 away from the clamping block 356. An installation groove 354 is provided on the surface of the sleeve 33 corresponding to the position of the spring 355. One end of the spring 355 away from the mounting block 353 is fixed at the bottom center of the inner cavity of the installation groove 354. A plurality of clamping grooves 357 are arranged at equal intervals on the surface of the sliding rod 34 corresponding to the position of the clamping block 356. When the clamping block 356 is located in the clamping groove 357, the surface of the clamping block 356 abuts against the inner wall of the clamping groove 357.

[0051] The spherical clamping block 356 is clamped in a certain clamping groove 357 of the sliding rod 34 to form a stable clamping. The spring 355 is in the original state, and the folding degree of the U-shaped concertina fold 22 needs to be adjusted. Stretching the U-shaped concertina fold 22 will exert an external force to make the sliding rod 34 start to slide. The movement of the sliding rod 34 will drive the clamping groove 357 on the surface of the sliding rod 34 to move relative to the spherical clamping block 356. With the movement of the sliding rod 34, the spherical clamping block 356 will encounter the end or edge of the clamping groove 357. Due to the shape of the clamping groove 357 and the direction of movement of the sliding rod 34, the clamping block 356 will be subjected to a lateral force, which will make it tend to rotate on the mounting block 353. When the clamping block 356 is subjected to a sufficient lateral force, it will rotate in the mounting seat 351 around the rotating shaft 352. This rotating action will further compress the spring 355. With the rotation of the clamping block 356 and the change in the direction of the pushing force of the spring 355, the surface of the clamping block 356 will gradually separate from the inner wall of the clamping groove 357. Once the clamping block 356 is completely slid out of the clamping groove 357, it is no longer limited by the clamping groove 357.

[0052] The sliding rod 34 continues to move, and the spherical clamping block 356 will try to enter the next clamping groove 357 under the pushing force of the spring 355. If the direction and speed of movement of the sliding rod 34 are appropriate, the clamping block 356 will smoothly enter the next clamping groove 357 to form a new clamping. This design not only has simple operation, but also has reliable fixing effect, effectively prevents the litter box from shaking or deforming during use, ensures the stability and durability of the litter box, so that the litter box can be reused, and the surface is discarded after being used once, so that the litter box is more environmentally friendly.

[0053] The implementation principle of the green and environmentally friendly reusable litter box according to the embodiment of the present application is that the user can adjust the size of the litter box by folding or unfolding the U-shaped concertina fold 22 according to needs. When folding, the volume of the litter box is reduced, which is convenient for storage and carrying. When unfolding, the internal space of the litter box is increased. By sliding the sliding rod 34 in the sliding expansion plate assembly 3, the user can further adjust the bottom space of the litter box. When more space is needed, the sliding rod 34 is slid outward. When the space needs to be reduced, the sliding rod 34 is slid inward. The clamping assembly 35 ensures that the sliding rod 34 can be stably clamped at any position. The litter box is made of degradable materials and is easy to recycle after use.

[0054] The above is only an optional embodiment of the present disclosure and is not used to limit the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the present disclosure. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present disclosure shall be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
