Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The embodiment of the utility model relates to a pet litter basin, in particular to a basin body of pet litter basin. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's material life level, the requirement of spiritual life is gradually improved, and the crowd who like to raise pet cats and pet dogs is more and more many. Many people who love cats and dogs like pet cats and pet dogs very much, and even specially purchase pet cabins for pet cats and pet dogs. Most of the existing cat litter basins are intelligent cat litter basins, and the appearance of the intelligent cat litter basin greatly facilitates the life of the cat officer, so that the cat officer only scratches the cat and does not shovel the excrement.

[0003] In order to facilitate the cleaning of the cat litter basin, the cat litter basin is generally equipped with the functions of shoveling and returning sand, and in order to realize these functions of the cat litter basin, the basin body of the cat litter basin is generally reversible, and the basin body can realize the purpose of dumping excrement and returning sand through the combination of forward and reverse turning. However, the inventor finds that the existing basin body is mostly regular sphere, and in order to ensure sufficient toilet space, the radius of such basin body is usually large, which leads to large volume of the basin body. In order to ensure that the bottom of the base does not interfere with the turning of the basin body, especially the bottom of the base, the height of the base generally needs to be increased, so as to ensure that the base has enough space for the turning of the basin body, which leads to high overall height of the cat litter basin. Such practice will inevitably cause great difficulty for pets such as cats and dogs to enter the basin body for defecation, which is not conducive to the pets entering the basin body for defecation.

[0004] Therefore, how to facilitate the pets to enter the basin body for defecation without affecting the rotation performance of the basin body is the problem to be solved at present. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] The purpose of some embodiments of the utility model is to design a basin body of pet litter basin, which can facilitate the pets to enter the basin body for defecation without affecting the rotation performance of the basin body.

[0006] Some embodiments of the utility model provide a basin body of pet litter basin, at least part of which is arranged in the containing space of the base of the pet litter basin, and the basin body is reversible relative to the base around a pivot axis, and the basin body comprises:

[0007] The basin bottom has a front end and a rear end away from the front end;

[0008] The basin mouth is arranged relative to the basin bottom; the pets are allowed to enter the basin body from multiple directions; the basin mouth is arranged obliquely to the basin bottom, so that the vertical height from the front end of the basin bottom to the basin mouth is less than the vertical height from the rear end of the basin bottom to the basin mouth;

[0009] a front wall, curvedly extending from the front end of the basin bottom towards the basin opening;

[0010] a rear wall, being a circular arc side wall connected with the rear end of the basin bottom with the axis of the pivot axis as the center and with a first radius;

[0011] wherein the maximum length of the outer contour of the basin body is greater than the maximum height of the outer contour of the basin body.

[0012] As can be seen from the above, since the maximum length of the outer contour of the basin body is greater than the maximum height of the outer contour of the basin body, compared with the existing regular spherical basin body, by changing the shape of the basin body, the space in the height direction of the basin body is transferred to the length direction, so that the space in the height direction of the toilet area is more extended to the horizontal direction, and therefore the basin body has a larger toilet space in the length direction. This design can greatly reduce the height of the basin body, so that the pet such as a cat or a dog can easily enter and exit the basin body for defecation, and the pet defecation is not disturbed, and the extended toilet space in the horizontal direction makes the pet more spacious and comfortable when defecating, so that the pet no longer feels cramped when defecating, and the experience of the pet when defecating is improved. In addition, the low height of the basin body greatly reduces the overall height of the pet litter basin, so that the overall packaging size of the pet litter basin can be reduced and the transportation cost of the pet litter basin can be reduced.

[0017] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, those skilled in the art can understand that in the embodiments of the present application, many technical details are proposed in order to make the readers better understand the present application. However, even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments, the technical scheme claimed by the present application can be realized.

[0018] Embodiment one

[0019] The embodiment one of the utility model relates to a pet litter basin body, as shown in Figure 2 And Figure 4 The basin body 2 is at least partially arranged in the accommodating space 13 of the base 1 of the pet litter basin, and the basin body 2 is rotatable about a pivot axis relative to the base 1.

[0020] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 And Figure 2 The basin body 2 comprises a basin mouth 21, a basin bottom 22, a front wall 23 and a rear wall 24. The basin bottom 22 has a front end 221 and a rear end 222 away from the front end 221. Secondly, the basin mouth 21 is arranged relative to the basin bottom 22, and the basin mouth 21 can allow the pet to enter the basin body 2 from multiple directions. At the same time, the basin mouth 21 is also arranged to be inclined to the basin bottom 22, so that the vertical height D2 from the front end 221 of the basin bottom 22 to the basin mouth 21 is less than the vertical height D1 from the rear end 222 of the basin bottom 22 to the basin mouth 21. In addition, the front wall 23 extends in a curved manner from the front end 221 of the basin bottom 22 towards the basin mouth 21, and the rear wall 24 is a circular arc side wall connected to the rear end 222 of the basin bottom 22 with the axis of the pivot axis as the center and with a first radius. Moreover, the maximum length of the outer contour of the basin body 22 is greater than the maximum height of the outer contour of the basin body 2.

[0021] From the above, it can be seen that by changing the shape of the basin body 2, the regular spherical basin body in the prior art is changed to the basin body 2 with a length greater than a width in the embodiment, and the existing toilet area 27 is extended from the space in the height direction to the horizontal direction. Therefore, the basin body 2 has a larger toilet space in the length direction. This design can greatly reduce the height of the basin body 2 and the overall height of the cat litter basin, so that the pet, such as a cat or a dog, can more conveniently enter the basin body 2 to defecate, and the pet will not be disturbed when defecating. Moreover, the extended toilet space in the horizontal direction makes the pet more spacious and comfortable when defecating, so that the pet no longer feels cramped when defecating, and the pet experience is improved. In addition, the low-height basin body 2 also greatly reduces the overall height of the pet litter basin, so that the overall packaging size of the pet litter basin can be reduced and the transportation cost of the pet litter basin can be reduced.

[0022] In addition, since the basin mouth 21 of the basin body 2 is arranged to be inclined to the basin bottom, the vertical height from the front end 221 of the basin bottom 22 to the basin mouth 21 is less than the vertical height from the rear end 222 of the basin bottom 22 to the basin mouth 21, so that the front end 221 of the basin mouth 21 has a lower height, and the rear end 222 of the basin mouth 21 has a higher height. Such a basin mouth 21 with a front lower and rear higher structure facilitates the pet to enter and exit the basin body 2, so that when the pet such as a dog or a cat needs to defecate, the pet can enter the basin body 2 from the front end 221 of the basin mouth 21, and thus the pet can conveniently enter the basin body 2 to defecate. In addition, since the front wall 23 of the basin body 2 extends from the front end 221 of the basin bottom 22 to the basin mouth 21, and the rear wall 24 of the basin body 2 is an arc wall connected to the rear end 222 of the basin bottom 22 with the first radius and with the axis of the pivot axis as the center, the arc-shaped front wall 23 and the rear wall 24 can also ensure that the basin body 2 does not interfere with the base 1 when it is turned over, so as not to affect the turning of the basin body 2. At the same time, the higher height of the rear end of the basin mouth 22 can provide a large enough space for the sand storage area 26, so that when the basin body 2 is turned over to dump the excrement and / or the dirt, the pet fine sand can be completely entered into the sand storage area 26, so that the sand storage area 26 can fully accommodate the pet fine sand.

[0023] In addition, as a preferred aspect, in some other embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 the rear wall 24 is tangent to the rear end 222 of the basin bottom 22, for example, the basin bottom 22 can be a flat bottom, so that the vertical distance from the basin bottom 22 to the bottom of the base 1 in the initial position of the basin body 2 is the same as the vertical distance from the rear wall 24 to the bottom of the base 1 when the basin body 2 is turned over to the dirt dumping position. Therefore, the basin body 2 can be arranged as close to the bottom of the base 1 as possible, so as to effectively reduce the height of the base 1 and ensure that the pet sand basin has a small packaging size. At the same time, the basin body 2 can also have a large turning angle, so that the basin body 2 can more conveniently dump the dirt and return the sand. In addition, by virtue of the tangent characteristic of the rear end 222 of the basin bottom 22 to the rear wall 24, in some other embodiments, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the front wall 23 can also be tangent to the front end 221 of the basin bottom 22, and since the basin bottom 22 of the basin 2 can be a flat bottom, when designing the front wall 23 of the basin 2, the front wall 23 is designed as another circular arc side wall with a second radius R2 and with the center of the arc being the axis of the preset axis L2 which is parallel to the pivot axis L1, so that the straight line distance from the pivot axis L1 to the rear wall 24 is less than the straight line distance from the pivot axis L1 to the front wall 23, and thus the pivot axis L1 is arranged towards the rear wall 24 of the basin 2, so that the basin 2 can be eccentrically flipped relative to the base 1 about the pivot axis L1, and thus the flipping radius of the basin 2 can be greatly reduced, and the height of the base 1 can be lowered, so that the pet can conveniently enter the basin 2 to defecate, and the overall height and volume of the litter box can be effectively reduced, and the litter box can be conveniently packed, and the moving performance of the litter box can be improved.

[0024] In other embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 the second radius R2 of the front wall 23 when extending towards the basin opening 21 should be equal to or less than the first radius R1 of the rear wall 24 when extending towards the basin opening 21. For example, when the second radius R2 of the front wall 23 when extending towards the basin opening 21 is equal to the first radius R1 of the rear wall 24 when extending towards the basin opening 21, as shown in Figure 1 the straight line connecting the axis of the preset axis L2 and the axis of the pivot axis L1 can be parallel to the basin bottom 22. Of course, in other embodiments, the first radius R1 of the rear wall 24 when extending towards the basin opening 21 can be greater than the second radius R2 of the front wall 23 when extending towards the basin opening 21, and the straight line connecting the axis of the preset axis L2 and the axis of the pivot axis L1 can be inclined to the basin bottom 22. Of course, the above-mentioned basin bottom 22 is only taken as an example of a flat bottom, and in other embodiments, the basin bottom 22 can also be an arc-shaped bottom close to a flat bottom, and by designing the basin bottom 22 as an arc-shaped bottom close to a flat bottom, it can also be ensured that the bottom of the base 1 will not interfere with the flipping of the basin 2.

[0025] In other embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 the basin 2 further comprises a filter screen 25, and the filter screen 25 is arranged in the basin 2 and connected to the rear wall 24 of the basin 2. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1 the filter screen 25 extends from one end connected to the rear wall 24 towards the basin bottom 22, so that one end of the filter screen 25 is connected to the rear end of the basin opening 21, and the other end of the filter screen 25 is connected to the rear wall 24 of the basin 2. And as shown in Figure 1As shown, the filter screen 25 and the rear wall 24 also form a sand storage area 26, and the filter screen 25 and the front wall 23 form a toilet area 27. As can be seen, the space in the basin body 2 is divided into the toilet area 27 and the sand storage area 26 by the filter screen 25 arranged in the basin body 2, so that the pet can use the toilet area 27 to defecate, and the sand storage area 26 can store the pet litter when the basin body 2 is overturned to dump the excrement.

[0026] In addition, as a preferred solution, in other embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , the first vertical distance C1 from the front end of the basin mouth 21 to the basin bottom 22 is related to the sand laying thickness H in the basin body 2, and specifically, the first vertical distance C1 is greater than the sand laying thickness H. For example, in application, when the sand laying thickness H in the basin body 2 is generally 40mm-60mm, for example, when the sand laying thickness H is 60mm, the first vertical distance C1 from the front end of the basin mouth 21 to the basin bottom 22 needs to be greater than 60mm, for example, the first vertical distance C1 can be 80mm, so that there is a height difference of 20mm between the front end of the basin mouth 21 and the sand laying plane, and the front end of the basin mouth 21 can block the sand and gravel, so that when the pet finishes defecating in the basin body 2 and leaves the basin body 2, the pet litter can be effectively prevented from being taken out of the basin body 2 by the front end of the basin mouth 21, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the pet litter basin environment.

[0027] In addition, in other embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , the second vertical distance C2 from the rear end of the basin mouth 21 to the basin bottom 22 is related to the sand storage amount of the sand storage area 26 and the packaging height of the pet litter basin, and the second vertical distance C2 is to ensure that the sand storage amount of the sand storage area 26 has a sand laying thickness that is not less than the minimum thickness of the pet litter required when the pet defecates when laid in the basin body 2. For example, when the minimum thickness of the pet litter required when the pet defecates is 40mm, the second vertical distance C2 from the rear end of the basin mouth 21 to the basin bottom 22 should be greater than 40mm, for example, the second vertical distance C2 can be 100mm, so that the rear end of the basin mouth 21 has a larger inclination angle relative to the basin bottom 22, so as to facilitate the pet to enter the basin body 2 while ensuring that the sand storage area 26 has a larger space to store the pet litter.

[0028] In addition, in other embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , when the basin body 2 is Figure 1 or Figure 2 in the initial state and is eccentrically overturned relative to the base 1 about the pivot axis L1 to Figure 3When the preset angle is reached, the angle between the rim 21 of the litter box 2 and the ground is between -10° and +10°. At this angle, the rim 21 is basically parallel to the ground. The height of the litter box 2 and the base 1 at this angle is h2 + R1 + h3, which is much lower than the ground surface. Figure 2 In its initial state, the total height of the pet litter box body 2 and base 1 is = h1 + R1 + h3, where h1 is the vertical distance from the pivot axis to the rear end of the bowl opening 21; h2 is the vertical distance from the pivot axis to the bowl opening 21; and h3 is the vertical distance from the bottom 22 of the bowl to the bottom 11 of the base 1. Figure 3 It's easy to see that the litter box doesn't protrude significantly at this stage, so it can be packaged in a standard-shaped box, greatly reducing the overall packaging size. Meanwhile, through... Figure 3 It is easy to see that when the basin 2 is flipped to a preset angle, that is, when the pet litter box is in its packaged state, a storage space can be formed between the basin 2 and the base 1 (not shown in the figure). Various accessories of the pet litter box can be stored in this storage space, such as the support mechanism 3 composed of the support legs used to support the base, the waste collection device, etc. This avoids the need to increase the packaging box and packaging size due to too many accessories and nowhere to store them when the box is in the packaged state, thereby greatly reducing packaging and transportation costs.

[0029] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the filter 25 has a top side 251 connected to the rear end of the bowl opening 21 and a bottom side 252 abutting against the rear wall 24. Furthermore, the filter 25, from the top side 251 to the bottom side 252, sequentially includes: a first curved extension segment 253 extending from the top side 251 away from the rear wall 24, and a second curved extension segment 254 connected to the first curved extension segment 253 and extending towards the rear wall 24. It is easy to see that the overall bending direction of the filter 25 is completely opposite to the bending direction of the rear wall 24. And because the bottom side 252 of the filter 25 abuts against the rear wall 24, it ensures that the litter storage area 26 has sufficient space to store pet litter without excessively affecting the size of the toilet area 27, thus ensuring the pet's normal toileting needs.

[0030] And, since the lowest end of the filter screen 25 is lower than the sand laying surface A in the basin 2, a part of the pet sand laid in the basin 2 will enter the sand storage area 26, and thus, once the urine of the pet during the toilet process is discharged into the sand storage area 26, the pet sand in the sand storage area 26 will be clumped, and thus, when the basin 2 is flipped relative to the base 1 to pour the dirt, the clumped pet sand cannot pass through the filter screen 25 to enter the toilet area 27 and be discharged, and thus, the clumped pet sand will pollute the sand storage area 26. Therefore, as a preferred aspect, in other embodiments, the lowest end of the filter screen 25 is not lower than the sand laying surface A in the basin 2, i.e., the lowest end of the filter screen 25 is higher than or equal to the sand laying surface A in the basin 2, and thus, when the basin 2 is in the initial state, the entire sand laying surface A is below the filter screen 25, and thus, the pet sand laid in the basin 2 will not enter the sand storage area 26, and thus, the urine of the pet entering the sand storage area 26 will not cause the pet sand in the sand storage area 26 to be clumped.

[0031] Finally, in other embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 the filter screen 25 further comprises a folding portion 255, and the folding portion 255 is integrally formed on the bottom side 252 of the filter screen 25, and the folding portion 255 further extends towards the toilet area 27, and thus, the folding portion 255 can be used to clamp and position the flexible pad laid in the basin 2.

[0032] Those skilled in the art can understand that the above embodiments are specific embodiments for implementing the present application, and in actual applications, various changes can be made in form and details without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
