[0039] Example 1

[0040] See Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a novel cat litter scoop 1, including a filter bucket 11 and a support frame 12 mounted on the filter bucket 11. The support frame 12 supports the filter bucket 11 to prevent it from deforming. The filter bucket 11 has a plurality of filter holes 1111 for filtering cat litter. The support frame 12 is detachably mounted on the filter bucket 11. The filter bucket 11 has an open cavity.

[0041] Therefore, when the litter scoop 1 moves back and forth in the litter box, the filter bucket 11 can scoop up the clumps of litter in the litter box; then the litter scoop 1 is rotated, the clumps of litter can roll in the filter bucket 11 and the excess and unclumped litter can be discharged from the filter hole 1111, and the clumps of litter eventually fall into the concave cavity. At this time, if the litter scoop 1 is vibrated, the excess and unclumped litter on the clumps of litter can be shaken out again, thereby saving litter consumption and reducing the cost of using litter.

[0042] Therefore, the cat litter scoop 1 of this utility model is detachably assembled from a support frame 12 and a filter scoop 11. When changing cat litter of different sizes, only the filter scoop 11 that matches the size needs to be replaced, thereby reducing costs.

[0043] In this embodiment, the filter bucket 11 is made of plastic, and the support frame 12 is made of metal.

[0044] Furthermore, the litter scoop 1 also includes a cover plate 114 disposed on the filter bucket 11 and partially covering the opening of the recessed cavity. Preferably, the filter bucket 11 and the cover plate 114 are integrally formed. Thus, by providing the cover plate 114 on the filter bucket 11, the cover plate 114 can cooperate with the recessed cavity to form a larger temporary storage space for clumped litter, allowing the filter bucket 11 to rotate at a larger angle, thus improving its practicality; in addition, when the litter scoop 1 is vibrated, the larger temporary storage space can further prevent clumped litter from falling out, ensuring the reliability of the litter scoop 1 in use.

[0045] See Figure 2 Specifically, the filter bucket 11 includes a bent bottom plate 111, two side plates 112 disposed on both sides of the bottom plate 111, and a back plate 113 disposed on the back of the bottom plate 111. The bottom plate 111, the two side plates 112, and the back plate 113 are connected to each other and enclose the cavity. The cover plate 114 is disposed at the opening of the cavity and connected to the back plate 113 and the two side plates 112. A plurality of filter holes 1111 are arranged at intervals on the bottom plate 111.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the side plate 112 and / or back plate 113 on the filter bucket 11 may also be provided with a number of filter holes 1111 to filter cat litter, so that the scooped cat litter is dropped out as much as possible, thereby saving cat litter consumption.

[0047] See Figure 3 The filter bucket 11 has a number of buckles 115 on its bottom plate 111. The buckles 115 are arranged in two rows and spaced apart on the left, middle and right sides of the bottom plate 111. The support frame 12 includes a rectangular frame body 121. The frame body 121 includes a pair of long strips 1211 and a pair of wide strips 1212. The pair of long strips 1211 are detachably snapped onto the buckles 115.

[0048] Furthermore, in order to achieve left and right limiting of the frame body 121, the filter bucket 11 is provided with several limiting protrusions 116 arranged vertically on the left and right sides. When a pair of long strips 1211 are engaged on the buckle 115, a pair of wide strips 1212 respectively abut against the limiting protrusions 116 to achieve left and right limiting.

[0049] Therefore, by setting several buckles 115 and several limiting protrusions 116 on the filter bucket 11, the support frame 12 can be stably installed on the filter bucket 11, thereby providing better support for the filter bucket 11.

[0050] See Figure 4The support frame 12 also includes extension rods 122 that are disposed on both sides of the frame body 121 and extend upward. The end of the extension rod 122 away from the frame body 121 is provided with an outwardly arranged connecting protrusion 123. The support frame 12 is in transmission cooperation with the external moving device 3 through the connecting protrusion 123.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] See Figure 5-7 The present invention also provides a cat litter box, including a cat litter box body 2, two moving devices 3 disposed on the left and right sides of the cat litter box body 2 and capable of reciprocating along the front and rear ends of the cat litter box body 2, and a novel cat litter scoop 1 as in Embodiment 1, which is horizontally placed on the cat litter box body 2. The connecting protrusions 123 on both sides of the support frame 12 are respectively rotatably disposed on the two moving devices 3.

[0053] Specifically, the mobile device 3 is provided with a rotatable rotating seat 31, and the connecting protrusion 123 of the support frame 12 is detachably installed on the rotating seat 31; wherein, the rotating seat 31 is provided with a mounting groove 311, the connecting protrusion 123 is inserted into the mounting groove 311 and a pin 4 passes through the rotating seat 31 and the connecting protrusion 123 to achieve the connection and fixation between the two.

[0054] See Figure 6 It also includes a first drive device 5 mounted on a moving device 3. The first drive device 5 is in transmission cooperation with one side of the support frame 12 and drives it to rotate. Specifically, the first drive device 5 is a drive motor. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to a rotating seat 31 and drives the rotating seat 31 to rotate, thereby driving the support frame 12 to rotate, and thus driving the filter bucket 11 to rotate.

[0055] Furthermore, it also includes a vibration assembly 6 mounted on another moving device 3. The vibration assembly 6 includes a second driving device 61, an eccentric wheel 62 connected to the output end of the second driving device 61, and a rotating shaft spring buckle 63 that is driven and engaged with the other side of the support frame 12 and abuts against the eccentric wheel 62. Specifically, the rotating shaft spring buckle 63 is engaged on another rotating seat 31. The second driving device 61 is a drive motor, and the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the eccentric wheel 62. When the drive motor drives the eccentric wheel 62 to rotate, it can drive the rotating shaft spring buckle 63 to swing back and forth, thereby driving the support frame 12 to vibrate.
