[0002] As a toilet supply for pet cats, a litter box makes it easy to clean up after them, so it is an essential item for pet owners.

[0003] Traditional litter boxes have a simple structure. They basically hold cat litter in the litter box. When a cat defecates or urinates on the litter, it will dig around in the litter to cover it up. The feces will combine with the litter to form litter clumps, which need to be cleaned regularly by humans to separate the litter clumps from the litter.

[0004] In existing technology, some cat litter boxes have a waste collection chamber to collect cat litter clumps. During use, the waste collection chamber will be contaminated with cat feces and urine, but since the waste collection chamber is fixed to the cat litter box, it is inconvenient for users to remove it, and the dirt on the waste collection chamber can only be wiped, which is not very effective.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pet feces collection device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0043] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a pet feces collection device, which can be a cat litter box or a feces collection device for other pets such as dogs. This embodiment uses a cat litter box as an example for explanation. The pet feces collection device includes a basin 1 and a collection chamber 2. The basin 1 has a receiving space containing cat litter. When cat feces come into contact with the cat litter, they form cat litter clumps. The collection chamber 2 is connected to the receiving space and is detachably connected to the basin 1. Applying force to the upper part of the collection chamber 2 allows for the assembly and disassembly of the collection chamber from the basin.

[0044] The collection chamber 2 and the basin 1 of this pet feces collection device are detachably connected. This design facilitates production and assembly, as the collection chamber 2 can be installed after the litter box main unit is assembled, eliminating the need for installation during the assembly process and reducing the workload. It also simplifies maintenance, allowing for disassembly and reassembly without disassembling the main unit, simplifying the maintenance process. Furthermore, it facilitates user cleaning, as the collection chamber 2 may become soiled with cat feces and urine during use. The easy detachment of the collection chamber 2 from the basin 1 allows for convenient cleaning, significantly improving cleaning efficiency. Moreover, the collection chamber 2 can be easily removed and installed by applying force from above, eliminating the need to move or lift the basin 1, further enhancing operational convenience.

[0045] Specifically, the upper part of the collection chamber 2 is provided with a handle 23. Pressing the handle 23 towards the receiving space can remove or install the collection chamber 2 from the basin body 1. Applying force to the handle 23 can achieve the removal and installation of the collection chamber 2 and the basin body 1. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0046] Optionally, in this embodiment, the waste collection chamber 2 and the basin 1 are connected by a snap-fit ​​structure. The snap-fit ​​structure is simple and easy to install. Of course, the waste collection chamber 2 and the basin 1 can also be detachably connected by other structures, such as a magnetic structure, a sliding rail slider structure, etc.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure includes a connecting protrusion on one of the waste collection chamber 2 and the basin 1, and a connecting groove 111 on the other. The connecting protrusion and the connecting groove 111 engage with each other. Pressing the snap-fit ​​handle 23 towards the receiving space disengages the connecting protrusion from the connecting groove 111, and releasing the snap-fit ​​handle 23 engages the connecting protrusion with the connecting groove 111. The operation is simple and quick. For example, the waste collection chamber 2 can have a connecting protrusion and the basin 1 can have a connecting groove 111, or the waste collection chamber 2 can have a connecting groove 111 and the basin 1 can have a connecting protrusion. Regardless of the structure, a detachable connection between the waste collection chamber 2 and the basin 1 can be achieved.

[0048] In this embodiment, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the waste collection chamber 2 includes a door 21 and two first side walls 22. The two first side walls 22 are respectively connected to both ends of the door 21 along a first direction. One of the first side walls 22 and the corresponding second side wall 11 of the basin 1 has a connecting protrusion, and the other has a connecting groove 111. A handle 23 is located on the upper part of the first side wall 11. Pressing the handle 23 can cause the first side wall 22 to elastically deform along the first direction, that is, the first side wall 22 retracts inward relative to the door 21, thereby causing the connecting protrusion to disengage from the connecting groove 111. The door 21 can be opened or closed to facilitate the collection of feces. The two first side walls 22 of the waste collection chamber 2 are detachably connected to the basin 1, so that the waste collection chamber 2 is basically the same width as the accommodating space of the basin 1 in the first direction, preventing feces or cat litter blocks from accumulating between the side of the waste collection chamber 2 and the basin 1, thus preventing inconvenience for subsequent cleaning. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first direction is the width direction of the litter box, and the second direction is the length direction of the litter box.

[0049] To enable the opening or closing of the compartment door 21, the compartment door 21 is rotatably connected to the basin body 1, that is, the compartment door 21 is rotatably connected to the basin body 1 through two first side walls 22, specifically, as follows: Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the connecting protrusion is a rotating shaft 221, and the shape and size of the connecting groove 111 are adapted to the rotating shaft 221. The rotating shaft 221 can rotate in the connecting groove 111, thereby realizing the rotation of the compartment door 21 relative to the basin 1, and thus realizing the opening or closing of the compartment door 21.

[0050] In this embodiment, a rotating shaft 221 is provided on the first sidewall 22, and a corresponding connecting groove 111 is provided on the second sidewall 11. A handle 23 is positioned above the rotating shaft 221. When the handle 23 is pressed towards the receiving space, the first sidewall 22 undergoes elastic deformation, thereby causing the rotating shaft 221 to disengage from the connecting groove 111. This operation method is simple and quick, allowing for convenient installation of the waste collection chamber 2 onto the basin 1, or convenient removal of the waste collection chamber 2 from the basin 1.

[0051] In the above structure, when disassembling the collection chamber 2, pressing the handle 23 causes the first side wall 22 to elastically deform and retract relative to the chamber door 21, thereby causing the rotating shaft 221 to retract inward. This allows the rotating shaft 221 to disengage from the connecting groove 111 on the second side wall 11 of the basin body 1, at which point the collection chamber 2 can be easily removed from the basin body 1. When installing the collection chamber 2, pressing the handle 23 causes the rotating shaft 221 to retract inward and remain in the retracted state. The collection chamber 2 is then placed inside the basin body 1. Releasing the handle 23 and pushing the collection chamber 2 to the fixed position causes the rotating shaft 221 to pop out into the connecting groove 111, thus installing the collection chamber 2 into place.

[0052] like Figure 6As shown, the waste collection chamber 2 in this embodiment also includes a back plate 24. The upper part of the back plate 24 is connected to the rear part of the chamber door 21. The back plate 24 is not connected to the two first side walls 22, so as to provide space for the elastic deformation of the first side walls 22. In this structure, the back plate 24 is only connected to the chamber door 21 and disconnected from the first side walls 22, which can provide space for the elastic deformation of the first side walls 22, thereby realizing the quick assembly and disassembly of the waste collection chamber 2.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first sidewall 22 is recessed inward toward the accommodating space to form a handle 23. The handle 23 can be formed without the need for additional structures on the waste collection chamber 2, which simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces the number of parts, and makes the structure more reliable.

[0054] Optionally, the two handles 23 are symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the collection chamber. With this structure, when a person presses the two handles 23 simultaneously from both sides of the upper part of the collection chamber 2, the pressing force applied on both sides is the same, which can more stably remove or install the collection chamber 2.

[0055] In this embodiment, two collection chambers 2 are provided, each located at one end of the basin body 1 along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. Figure 1 As shown, the pet feces collection device also includes a grid 3, which is disposed at the top of the basin 1 and inserted into the cat litter. The grid 3 can reciprocate in the second direction within the basin 1 to collect cat litter clumps into any one or two collection chambers 2, thus avoiding the problem of dead zones in cat litter collection that can occur when the grid 3 moves to one side only. In this embodiment, the forward movement of the grid 3 ( Figure 1 The movement from right to left is the forward movement, and the movement to left is the reverse movement. This pushes the litter clumps towards the collection bin 2 at one end, and then moves in the opposite direction to push any remaining litter clumps towards the collection bin 2 at the other end, thus cleaning the litter clumps more thoroughly. It is understandable that when there are litter clumps on both sides of the initial movement position of the grille 3, the unidirectional movement of the grille 3 or the presence of the collection bin 2 at only one end might prevent the litter clumps from being pushed into the collection bin 2 because they are too close to the edge of the basin 1. Therefore, the reciprocating movement of the grille 3 and the presence of a collection bin 2 at each end of the basin 1 prevent the problem of inconvenient or incomplete litter clump cleaning in special circumstances.

[0056] Optionally, the pet feces collection device also includes a drive mechanism, which is mounted on the basin 1 or the collection chamber 2. The output end of the drive mechanism is connected to the grille 3 to drive the grille 3 to reciprocate. By setting up a drive mechanism, the grille 3 can move automatically, avoiding hand contact with the grille 3, which is more hygienic, more efficient, and the movement of the grille 3 is more stable.

[0057] A linkage mechanism is provided between the door 21 of the waste collection chamber 2 and the grille 3. When the grille 3 moves to one end of the waste collection chamber 2, the linkage mechanism drives the door 21 of that waste collection chamber 2 to rotate and open, and the grille 3 pushes the litter blocks into the waste collection chamber 2. When the grille 3 moves away from the waste collection chamber 2, the linkage mechanism drives the door 21 of that waste collection chamber 2 to rotate and close. By setting up the linkage mechanism, the movement of the grille 3 and the door 21 of the waste collection chamber 2 is linked, which significantly improves the cleaning speed and efficiency of feces.
