Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet supplies technology, and in particular to a pet toilet. Background Technology

[0002] Pets are an indispensable source of emotional comfort for many people, providing companionship, which is why the number of pet owners is increasing daily. To improve their pets' comfort, most people keep them indoors. To maintain a clean and hygienic indoor environment, most pet-owning families choose to purchase pet toilets. Pet toilets provide a designated area for pets to eliminate waste and make it convenient for pet owners to clean up their pets' excrement promptly.

[0003] Some pet toilets have the drawback of being difficult to store. To meet the needs of pet owners who take their pets out or for easy cleaning, a cat bed designed to work with a cat toilet has been proposed. The cat bed includes an outer cover and a frame. The frame has a hinge structure that allows the cat bed to be folded, reducing its footprint in the room.

[0004] However, the hinge structure of the aforementioned cat bed is located on the side of the frame. When folding, it needs to be folded using the hinge point of the hinge structure as the pivot fulcrum. Since the entire cat bed is covered by a base containing the litter box, the base restricts the folding of the cat bed. The cat bed part needs to be separated from the litter box first. When the cat bed is folded, the litter box will emit odors, affecting the surrounding environment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pet toilet that simplifies the folding process and prevents the pet toilet from emitting odors when folded.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] A folding bracket includes a bottom frame and at least two side frames, the bottom frame being detachably connected to an excrement receiving structure, and the at least two side frames being movably connected to different edges of the bottom frame, respectively.

[0010] A flexible screen is installed on the outside of the side frame and connected to the bottom frame. The flexible screen has a pet entrance / exit.

[0011] The side frames can move away from the bottom frame to support the flexible shield; the side frames can also move closer to the bottom frame to provide space for the flexible shield to fold downwards.

[0012] Preferably, at least two side frames are rotatably connected to different borders of the bottom frame. The side frames rotate in a direction away from the bottom frame so that the top of the side frame abuts against the flexible shield. The side frames rotate in a direction closer to the bottom frame so that the top of the side frame separates from the flexible shield.

[0013] Optionally, the side frame is provided with a ring structure, and the border of the bottom frame passes through the ring structure.

[0014] Optionally, the side frame is provided with a pivot, and the bottom frame is provided with a connecting sleeve. The pivot is movably inserted through the connecting sleeve, and the axis of the pivot is parallel to the frame to which the pivot is connected.

[0015] Optionally, the flexible shield has a top frame and side frames that move away from the bottom frame, so that the top of the side frames abuts against the top frame to support the flexible shield.

[0016] Specifically, the pet toilet also includes a damping structure, which is located at the movable connection between the side frame and the bottom frame.

[0017] Optionally, the pet toilet also includes a connector, one side of which snaps into the bottom frame and the other side of which plugs into the waste collection structure.

[0018] Specifically, the connector includes a plug and an elastic sleeve, the elastic sleeve having a notch that can be snapped into the bottom frame; of the plug and the excrement receiving structure, one has a plug hole and the other has a protrusion that can be inserted into the plug hole.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] This invention discloses a pet toilet, including a waste-receiving structure, a folding support, and a flexible shield. The folding support includes a bottom frame and at least two side frames. When the pet owner needs to go out or store the toilet, the side frames can be moved closer to the bottom frame. At this time, the flexible shield loses the support of the side frames, and the pet owner can press down the flexible shield to reduce the space occupied by the pet toilet, achieving folding and storage. The pet toilet proposed by this invention can be folded without separating the waste-receiving structure and the folding support. During the folding process, the odor from the waste-receiving structure will not spread to the surrounding environment, maintaining the cleanliness of the surrounding environment and improving the storage experience for pet owners. When the pet owner does not need to go out or store the toilet, the pet owner can move the side frames away from the bottom frame, allowing the side frames to support the flexible shield, and the pet can enter the pet toilet through the pet entrance to defecate. The bottom frame is detachably connected to the excrement receiving structure, and the flexible shield is connected to the bottom frame. When the flexible shield needs to be cleaned, it can be removed from the excrement receiving structure. The removal process is simple and convenient. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar parts or parts having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or a detachable connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0032] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a pet toilet, including an excrement-receiving structure 1, a folding support 2, and a flexible shield 3. The folding support 2 includes a bottom frame 21 and at least two side frames 22, which are movably connected to different edges of the bottom frame 21. The flexible shield 3 is located outside the side frames 22 and connected to the bottom frame 21, and has a pet entrance / exit 31. When the pet owner is not out or needs to store the pet, the owner can operate the side frames 22 to move away from the bottom frame 21, allowing the side frames 22 to support the flexible shield 3, and the pet can enter the pet toilet through the pet entrance / exit 31 to excrete.

[0034] To enhance the odor-proofing effect of this pet toilet, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a screen curtain 5 can be installed at the pet entrance / exit 31. The screen curtain 5 and the flexible screen cover 3 can be connected by hooks and loops; that is, one of the flexible screen cover 3 and the screen curtain 5 is equipped with hooks, and the other is equipped with loops. When the pet toilet is in normal use, the screen curtain 5 can completely cover the pet entrance / exit 31, achieving an odor-blocking effect and preventing pets from digging out excrement or pet litter contained in the excrement receiving structure 1 from the pet toilet, thereby maintaining a clean and hygienic indoor environment.

[0035] When pet owners need to go out or store the pet toilet, they can operate the side frame 22 to move it towards the bottom frame 21. At this time, the flexible cover 3 loses the support of the side frame 22, and the flexible cover 3 has space to fold downwards. By pressing down the flexible cover 3, pet owners can reduce the space occupied by the pet toilet, achieving folding and storage. The pet toilet proposed in this utility model can be folded without separating the excrement receiving structure 1 and the folding bracket 2. Pet owners can fold and store it by operating the side frame 22, which improves the portability of the folding operation and increases storage efficiency. Moreover, the odor of the excrement receiving structure 1 will not spread to the surrounding environment during the folding process, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the surrounding environment, and also improving the storage experience for pet owners. The excrement receiving structure 1 can be a cat litter box.

[0036] In one embodiment, the side frame 22 is extendable and retractable in the vertical direction. When the pet toilet needs to be used normally, the side frame 22 can be pulled upwards until it supports the flexible cover 3, allowing the pet to enter the pet toilet through the pet entrance 31 to relieve itself. When the pet owner needs to go out or store the toilet, the side frame 22 can be compressed downwards, causing the flexible cover 3 to lose its supporting function. The pet owner can then fold the flexible cover 3 downwards, reducing the space occupied by the pet toilet and making it convenient to take out.

[0037] In another embodiment, the side frame 22 and the bottom frame 21 are rotatably connected, with at least two side frames 22 rotatably connected to different edges of the bottom frame 21. Rotating the side frame 22 away from the bottom frame 21 until the top of the side frame 22 abuts against the flexible cover 3 ensures the side frame 22 supports the flexible cover 3, guaranteeing the normal use of the pet toilet. Rotating the side frame 22 closer to the bottom frame 21 separates the top of the side frame 22 from the flexible cover 3, at which point the flexible cover 3 loses its supporting function, and the pet owner can reduce the space occupied by the pet toilet by pressing down on the flexible cover 3.

[0038] Specifically, during the production process, ring structures 221 can be pre-set on both sides of the side frame 22, and the frame of the bottom frame 21 passes through the ring structures 221. Pre-processing the ring structures 221 can reduce the rotation cost of the side frame 22 and the bottom frame 21. The side frame 22 can rotate around the frame of the bottom frame 21 through the ring structures 221, and the normal use and folding storage of the pet toilet can be easily achieved.

[0039] In other embodiments, the side frame 22 can be Ω-shaped, with pivots on both sides and two connecting sleeves corresponding to the edge of the bottom frame 21. The pivots are movably inserted through the connecting sleeves, and the axis of the pivots is parallel to the edge to which they are connected. The pivots and connecting sleeves maintain stability during rotation, preventing significant swaying of the side frame 22. Alternatively, the side frame 22 can be a hollow rectangular frame, with a pivot at the bottom center and a connecting sleeve correspondingly located in the middle of the edge of the bottom frame 21. The pivot can also movably insert through the connecting sleeve. The side frame 22 can also be manufactured in other shapes, as long as it allows for rotation with the bottom frame 21; no further limitations are imposed here.

[0040] To prevent accidental folding of the pet toilet due to pets accidentally touching it, a damping structure can be installed at the movable connection between the side frame 22 and the bottom frame 21. This damping structure can be a damping material coated between the side frame 22 and the bottom frame 21, such as a rubber-based damping material or a viscoelastic polymer. The damping structure increases the resistance during the movable connection between the side frame 22 and the bottom frame 21, ensuring the overall structural stability of the pet toilet. With the damping structure installed, even if a pet touches the side frame 22, it will not easily fold inward and injure the pet, ensuring the pet's safety when using the pet toilet. It also reduces wear and tear on the side frame 22 caused by frequent rotation, extending the service life of the folding bracket 2.

[0041] The flexible shield 3 can be made of flexible materials such as nylon cloth or PVC coated cloth (polyvinyl chloride coated cloth), which facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the entire flexible shield 3. The bottom frame 21 and the excrement receiving structure 1 are detachably connected, with the flexible shield 3 connected to the bottom frame 21. When the flexible shield 3 needs cleaning, it can be detached from the excrement receiving structure 1, and the disassembly process is simple and convenient. The connection between the flexible shield 3 and the bottom frame 21 can be achieved through adhesive methods such as Velcro. After detaching them from the excrement receiving structure 1, the connection can be broken by tearing off the Velcro. The flexible shield 3 is easy to disassemble and highly portable.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the flexible toilet shelter 3 may include a top cover 33 and a side panel 34 connected together. The side panel 34 is located outside the side frame 22. When the side frame 22 moves away from the bottom frame 21, the top of the side frame 22 can support the top cover 33. Velcro can be provided on the bottom of the side panel 34 to wrap around the bottom frame 21 and connect the side panel 34 and the bottom frame 21. To enhance the structural strength of the pet toilet, a top frame 32 can be provided on the top of the flexible toilet shelter 3. When the side frame 22 moves away from the bottom frame 21, the top of the side frame 22 can abut against the top frame 32, and the two together provide support for the flexible toilet shelter 3, allowing it to maintain its shape and preventing collapse or deformation during normal use.

[0043] The pet toilet may also include a connector 4, one side of which is snapped into the bottom frame 21, and the other side of which is inserted into the excrement receiving structure 1. Disassembly only requires disconnecting one side of the connector 4 from the bottom frame 21 to remove the flexible shield 3 from the excrement receiving structure 1, eliminating the need to disassemble the connector 4 entirely. This reduces wear and tear between the connector 4 and the excrement receiving structure 1, saving users replacement costs. The bottom frame 21 can be a hollow rectangular frame. Correspondingly, four connectors 4 can be provided, each located at one of the four corners of the bottom frame 21. The bottom of the flexible shield 3 has a notch to avoid the connector 4. Two side frames 22 can be provided, each located on one of the opposite sides of the bottom frame 21. Alternatively, four side frames 22 can be provided, each located on one of the four sides of the bottom frame 21.

[0044] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the connector 4 may include a plug-in portion 41 and an elastic sleeve 42. The elastic sleeve 42 has a notch that can be engaged with the bottom frame 21. Of the plug-in portion 41 and the excrement receiving structure 1, one has a plug-in hole, and the other has a protrusion that can be inserted into the plug-in hole. Due to its elasticity, the elastic sleeve 42 can fit tightly against the bottom frame 21, effectively preventing the connector 4 from loosening or falling off during use, thus ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the pet toilet. The plugging of the connector 4 and the excrement receiving structure 1 is achieved through the cooperation of the protrusion and the plug-in hole, making the installation process easy.

[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
