[0055] like Figures 1 to 7As 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, a collection chamber 2, and a collection chamber release component. 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. The collection chamber release component is installed on the collection chamber 2, and the collection chamber 2 can be disassembled and assembled from the basin 1 by manual operation of the collection chamber release component.
[0056] The collection chamber 2 and the basin 1 of this pet feces collection device are detachably connected. On the one hand, this facilitates production and assembly, as the collection chamber 2 can be installed after the main cat litter box is assembled, rather than during the assembly process, thus simplifying the production and assembly process and reducing the workload of assembly operations. On the other hand, it facilitates maintenance, as the collection chamber 2 can be disassembled without removing the main body, 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 collection chamber 2 can be easily removed from the basin 1, allowing users to remove the collection chamber 2 for overall cleaning, significantly improving the cleaning effect.
[0057] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the waste collection chamber release assembly includes a drive component 3 and a transmission component 4. One end of the drive component 3 is exposed outside the waste collection chamber 2 for manual operation. One end of the transmission component 4 is connected to the other end of the drive component 3, and the other end of the transmission component 4 is connected to the first side wall 22 of the waste collection chamber 2. The first side wall 22 of the waste collection chamber 2 is detachably connected to the basin body 1. By pressing the portion of the drive component 3 exposed outside the waste collection chamber 2 in a first direction, the waste collection chamber 2 can be detached from or attached to the basin body 1. The first direction is the direction towards the receiving space. This operation method is simple and direct, and can easily realize the disassembly and assembly of the waste collection chamber 2 and the basin body 1.
[0058] The middle part of the drive component 3 is rotatably connected to the collection chamber 2. The two sides of the middle part of the drive component 3 are the first arm 31 and the second arm 32, respectively. The middle part of the transmission component 4 is rotatably connected to the collection chamber 2. The two sides of the middle part of the transmission component 4 are the third arm 41 and the fourth arm 42, respectively. The upper part of the first arm 31 is exposed outside the collection chamber 2. The second arm 32 is connected to the third arm 41. The fourth arm 42 is connected to the first side wall 22 of the collection chamber 2. Pressing the upper part of the first arm 31 in the first direction causes the second arm 32 to push the third arm 41 to move in the second direction. The fourth arm 42 moves in the first direction, thereby causing the first side wall 22 to move in the first direction. The first side wall 22 separates from the basin 1. The first direction and the second direction are opposite to each other. In this structure, both the drive component 3 and the transmission component 4 are seesaw structures. Through the two-stage seesaw structure, power and motion transmission are achieved, ensuring that the first arm 31 and the fourth arm 42 move in the same direction. That is, the first arm 31 moves in the same direction as the first side wall 22. Therefore, pressing the first arm 31 can disassemble the first side wall 22 from the basin 1. This operation method is simple and quick, allowing for easy installation of the waste collection chamber 2 on the basin 1 or easy removal of the waste collection chamber 2 from the basin 1.
[0059] Specifically, the middle part of the drive component 3 is rotatably connected to the litter box 2 via a first rotating shaft 33, and the middle part of the transmission component 4 is rotatably connected to the litter box 2 via a second rotating shaft 43. The directions of the first and second directions, the direction of the first rotating shaft 33, and the direction of the second rotating shaft 43 are perpendicular to each other. The middle part of the drive component 3 is the connection point of the first arm 31 and the second arm 32, and the middle part of the transmission component 4 is the connection point of the third arm 41 and the fourth arm 42. Thus, the middle parts of the drive component 3 and the transmission component 4 serve as the fulcrums of two seesaw structures, respectively, realizing the power and motion transmission of the first arm 31, the second arm 32, the third arm 41, and the fourth arm 42. In this embodiment, the directions of the first and second directions are the width direction of the litter box, the direction of the first rotating shaft 33 is the length direction of the litter box, and the direction of the second rotating shaft 43 is the height direction of the litter box. In this structure, the drive component 3 rotates in a plane perpendicular to the length direction of the litter box, and the transmission component 4 rotates in a plane perpendicular to the height direction of the litter box.
[0060] In this embodiment, the waste collection chamber release assembly further includes a mounting cavity and an elastic reset member 5. The mounting cavity is connected to the inner side of the first sidewall 22 and includes a stop wall 6 spaced apart from the first sidewall 22. One end of the elastic reset member 5 abuts against the stop wall 6, and the other end abuts against the first sidewall 22. The elastic reset member 5 provides a restoring force for the movement of the first sidewall 22. Specifically, under the action of the driving member 3 and the transmission member 4, the first sidewall 22 can elastically deform along a first direction, and the elastic reset member 5 provides power for the reset of the first sidewall 22. Optionally, the elastic reset member 5 is a spring.
[0061] Optionally, the waste collection chamber release assembly also includes a linkage 7, one end of which is connected to the first sidewall 22, and the other end is connected to the fourth arm 42 at least when the fourth arm 42 moves in the first direction; when the fourth arm 42 moves in the first direction, the fourth arm 42 is connected to the linkage 7, which can drive the linkage 7 to move in the first direction, thereby driving the first sidewall 22 to move in the first direction.
[0062] More specifically, the linkage 7 is Z-shaped and includes a first connecting arm 71, an intermediate arm, and a second connecting arm 72 connected at an included angle. The first connecting arm 71 and the second connecting arm 72 are arranged in parallel. The first connecting arm 71 is connected to the first sidewall 22, and the second connecting arm 72 is spaced apart from the first sidewall 22 to form a gap. The fourth arm 42 is located between the first sidewall 22 and the gap, and the other end of the elastic reset member 5 abuts against the second connecting arm 72. The fourth arm 42 can be fixedly connected to the second connecting arm 72, or it can be not connected to either the second connecting arm 72 or the first sidewall 22. In this embodiment, the fourth arm 42 abuts against the surface of the second connecting arm 72 facing the first sidewall 22. When no force is applied to the drive member 3, the fourth arm 42 abuts against the second connecting arm 72. When force is applied to the drive member 3, the first arm 31 drives the fourth arm 42 to move in the first direction. Since the fourth arm 42 abuts against the second connecting arm 72, the fourth arm 42 can push the second connecting arm 72 to move in the first direction, thereby driving the first connecting arm 71 and the first side wall 22 to move in the first direction, realizing the elastic deformation of the first side wall 22.
[0063] Optionally, the stop wall 6 has a first through hole, the axis of which is parallel to the first direction. The waste collection chamber release assembly also includes a guide member 8, with an elastic reset member 5 sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide member 8. The first end of the guide member 8 is connected to the first side wall 22, and the second end of the guide member 8 can extend into the first through hole and move along the axial direction of the first through hole. When the first side wall 22 moves along the first direction, the first side wall 22 pushes the guide member 8 to move along the first direction, and the guide member 8 moves along the first through hole. By setting the guide member 8, the stability of the movement of the first side wall 22 can be improved, thereby improving the reliability of the overall structure.
[0064] In this embodiment, such as Figure 5As 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. The first side walls 22 are connected to the corresponding second side walls 11 of the basin 1 via 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 via other structures, such as a magnetic structure or a sliding block structure. 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 litter from accumulating between the side of the waste collection chamber 2 and the basin 1, thus avoiding inconvenience for subsequent cleaning. In this embodiment, two waste collection chamber release components are provided, one at each of the two first side walls 22.
[0065] The snap-fit structure includes a connecting protrusion on one of the first sidewall 22 and the second sidewall 11, and a connecting groove 111 on the other. The connecting protrusion and the connecting groove 111 engage with each other. Pressing the first arm 31 in the first direction causes the first sidewall 22 to elastically deform, i.e., the first sidewall 22 retracts inward relative to the door 21, thereby causing the connecting protrusion to disengage from the connecting groove 111. Releasing the first arm 31 allows the connecting protrusion to engage with the connecting groove 111, making the operation simple and quick. For example, the first sidewall 22 can have a connecting protrusion and the second sidewall 11 can have a connecting groove 111, or the first sidewall 22 can have a connecting groove 111 and the second sidewall 11 can have a connecting protrusion. Regardless of the structure, a detachable connection between the first sidewall 22 and the second sidewall 11 can be achieved.
[0066] The guide member 8 and the connecting protrusion can be two independent structures or an integral structure. The integral structure includes a fixed connection as an integral structure and an integrally formed structure.
[0067] Specifically, in one feasible implementation, the guide member 8 and the connecting protrusion are two independent structures, and the guide member 8 and the connecting protrusion are arranged facing each other.
[0068] In another feasible embodiment, a second through hole is provided on the first sidewall 22, the guide member 8 is arranged opposite to the connecting protrusion, and the first end of the guide member 8 passes through the second through hole and is fixedly connected to the connecting protrusion as an integral structure.
[0069] In another feasible embodiment, a second through hole is provided on the first sidewall 22, and the guide member 8 and the connecting protrusion are integrally formed. The diameter of the connecting protrusion is larger than the diameter of the second through hole, and the integrally formed structure passes through the second through hole. The integrally formed structure is simple and convenient to process and easy to assemble. This method is preferred in this embodiment.
[0070] 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 7 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 within the connecting groove 111, thereby enabling the door 21 to rotate relative to the basin 1, and thus enabling the door 21 to open or close. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 221 is provided on the first sidewall 22, and the connecting groove 111 is correspondingly provided on the second sidewall 11. The upper part of the first arm 31 is located above the rotating shaft 221.
[0071] In the above structure, when disassembling the collection chamber 2, pressing the upper part of the first arm 31 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 upper part of the first arm 31 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 upper part of the first arm 31 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.
[0072] 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 9, which is located at the top of the basin 1 and inserted into the cat litter. The grid 9 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 9 moves to one side only. In this embodiment, the forward movement of the grid 9 ( 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 9, the unidirectional movement of the grille 9 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 9 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.
[0073] 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 9 to drive the grille 9 to reciprocate. By setting up a drive mechanism, the grille 9 can move automatically, avoiding hand contact with the grille 9, which is more hygienic, more efficient, and the movement of the grille 9 is more stable.
[0074] A linkage mechanism is provided between the door 21 of the waste collection chamber 2 and the grille 9. When the grille 9 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 9 pushes the litter blocks into the waste collection chamber 2. When the grille 9 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 9 and the door 21 of the waste collection chamber 2 is linked, which significantly improves the speed and efficiency of waste removal.
