[0041] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0042] like Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment provides a cat litter box, including a basin body 100 and a canopy 200. The canopy 200 is detachably connected to the basin body 100 and can cover the opening of the basin body 100. The canopy 200 has an unfolded state and a folded state.
[0043] The canopy 200 includes a frame 1 and a canopy 2. The canopy 2 is connected to the frame 1. The canopy 2 has an entrance 21 for the pet cat to enter and exit. The frame 1 includes a bottom frame 11, a top support rod 12 and two side frames 13. The bottom frame 11 is detachably connected to the basin 100. The two side frames 13 are rotatably connected to opposite sides of the bottom frame 11. The top support rod 12 is detachably connected between the two side frames 13.
[0044] When the canopy 200 is in the unfolded state, the two side frames 13 are set at an angle to the bottom frame 11, and the top support rod 12 is connected between the tops of the two side frames 13 so that the interior of the frame 1 forms an accommodating space, and the tarpaulin 2 is covered and connected to the outside of the frame 1. When the canopy 200 is in the folded state, the top support rod 12 is configured to detach from the two side frames 13, and the two side frames 13 are configured to rotate inward to be parallel to the bottom frame 11 so that the tarpaulin 2 can be pressed down and folded.
[0045] In practical use, cat litter is placed in the litter box 100. The unfolded canopy 200 is fixed to the top of the litter box 100, covering the opening of the litter box 100. When the cat needs to use the litter box, it enters the litter box through the inlet 21 to defecate. The canopy 200 can isolate the odor of excrement and prevent the cat from digging the litter outside the litter box during use. When the litter box needs to be stored, the user can remove the top support rod 12 from the inlet 21 and then rotate and fold both side frames 13 inward (rotation direction as follows). Figure 5 (As shown by the middle arrow) Press down until the two side frames 13 and the bottom frame 11 are parallel to each other, and then press down on the top of the canopy 2 to fold it down. At this point, the canopy 200 is in a folded state, achieving the effect of folding down and reducing the overall space occupied by the litter box.
[0046] The litter box provided in this embodiment features an expandable or foldable canopy 200. When the cat is using the litter box, the expanded canopy 200 covers the opening of the box body 100 to isolate odors and prevent litter from being dragged in and polluting the external environment. When the litter box needs to be stored, the canopy 200 can be folded down, reducing the overall size and space occupied by the litter box, making it easier to store. Furthermore, the canopy 200 is detachably connected to the box body 100, facilitating cleaning of the inside of the box body 100 by the user.
[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a curtain 5 is provided at the entrance 21. In this way, the canopy 200 can better isolate odors without affecting the pet cat's entry and exit.
[0048] In some embodiments, the bottom of the tarpaulin 2 is detachably connected to the bottom frame 11.
[0049] With this setup, the tarpaulin 2 can be removed for cleaning and replacement at any time if it gets dirty, making it more flexible and convenient to use.
[0050] Optionally, the bottom of the tarpaulin 2 can be detachably attached to the bottom frame 11 via Velcro. Velcro is easy to install and remove, requires no tools, and has a low manufacturing cost.
[0051] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the top support rod 12 is provided with a first connector 3 at both ends, and the two first connectors 3 can be snapped onto the top of the corresponding side frame 13.
[0052] The top support rod 12 and the side frame 13 are detachably connected by two first connectors 3. The snap-fit design makes the installation of the top support rod 12 more convenient and the disassembly more convenient.
[0053] like Figure 2 andFigure 4 As shown in some embodiments, the bottom frame 11 is provided with the second connecting piece 4, the second connecting piece 4 includes the base body 41 and the plug-in rod 42, the base body 41 is connected to the bottom frame 11, the plug-in rod 42 is fixedly arranged on the side of the base body 41 facing the basin body 100, the top frame of the basin body 100 is provided with the insertion hole 110, and the plug-in rod 42 is configured to be inserted into the insertion hole 110.
[0054] Through such an arrangement, the cooperation of the plug-in rod 42 and the insertion hole 110 provides a firm mechanical connection, ensuring that the bottom frame 11 can be reliably fixed on the basin body 100, avoiding loosening or displacement of the top cover 200 during use. Moreover, the plug-in mode is simple and efficient, and the user only needs to insert the plug-in rod 42 into the insertion hole 110 to complete the connection of the bottom frame 11 and the basin body 100, saving time and effort.
[0055] As Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments, the bottom frame 11 is rectangular, and the second connecting piece 4 is arranged at each corner of the bottom frame 11, and the insertion hole 110 is arranged one by one corresponding to the second connecting piece 4. Optionally, the basin body 100 can be correspondingly arranged as a cuboid structure.
[0056] In this way, through the multi-point fixing mode, it is beneficial to form a more stable connection between the bottom frame 11 and the basin body 100.
[0057] As Figures 4-6 shown, in some embodiments, each second connecting piece 4 further includes a rotating base 43, each rotating base 43 is fixedly arranged on the corresponding base body 41, and the side frame 13 is rotatably connected to the inside of the rotating base 43. In this way, the rotating base 43 provides a rotatable fulcrum, ensuring that the rotating connection of the side frame 13 has good support force and stability.
[0058] Optionally, the base body 41, the plug-in rod 42 and the rotating base 43 are integrally formed, facilitating the manufacturing of the second connecting piece 4.
[0059] As Figures 4-6 shown, in some embodiments, the base body 41 of each second connecting piece 4 is configured to extend from the long side of the rectangle to the adjacent short side of the rectangle of the bottom frame 11, each rotating base 43 is fixedly arranged on the side of the corresponding base body 41 away from the basin body 100, and the rotating base 43 is arranged at the position of the base body 41 located at the short side of the rectangle, the side frame 13 includes an arc-shaped section 131 and two connecting sections 132, the two connecting sections 132 are connected to the opposite two ends of the arc-shaped section 131, and the two connecting sections 132 are configured to be rotatably connected to the two rotating bases 43 of the same short side of the rectangle, respectively.
[0060] Through the arrangement, the arc-shaped section 131 of the side frame 13 can form a natural arc-shaped top profile, which is beneficial to optimize the internal accommodating space of the roof 200 and also reduces the redundant volume of the frame, thereby reducing the overall occupied space.
[0061] Optionally, the bottom frame 11 and the two side frames 13 are both made of metal. The metal material has high strength and hardness and is not easy to deform and damage. For example, the bottom frame 11 and the two side frames 13 can be made of aluminum alloy or stainless steel.
[0062] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present application are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made on the basis of the above description. Here, it is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the embodiments. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
