The first slot 43 on the left side of the baffle 4 engages with a first claw 33. The first slot 43 on the right side of the baffle 4 engages with the side of the third baffle 5.

[0032] The baffle 3 5 includes: hinge handle 2 51 and claw 2 52. The bottom of the baffle 3 5 plate is fixedly connected to the handle of hinge handle 2 51.

[0035] Working principle: When the litter box needs to be folded, first remove the cover plate 8. Then, rotate the fourth baffle 6. Because the second pivot 62 is longer than the first pivot 42, rotate the body of the fourth baffle 6 until it is in contact with the baffle strip 11. Then, rotate the second baffle 4 so that its body is in contact with the fourth baffle 6. In this way, the second baffle 4 will partially cover the body of the fourth baffle 6. At the same time, because the second pivot 62 is longer than the first pivot 42, the body of the fourth baffle 6 can rotate more. The second baffle 4, which is pressed on the fourth baffle 6, and the two fold together with the base frame 1. The body remains at the same horizontal height. The baffle 11 ensures the range of each flip of the baffle 4 6, preventing the baffle 2 4 from pressing on the baffle 4 6 and exceeding the upper part of the base frame 1. Then, the baffle 3 5 and the baffle 1 3 are flipped towards the baffle 2 4. After the baffle 3 5 and the baffle 1 3 are flipped into place, the baffle 3 5 and the baffle 1 3 are attached to the upper part of the baffle 1 3. The width of the baffle 2 4 is greater than the height of the baffle 3 5 and the baffle 1 3, preventing the baffle 3 5 and the baffle 1 3 from colliding during the flipping and attachment of the baffle 2 4. At this point, the cover plate 8 can be placed on top of the flipped-up baffles 5 and 3. The baffle strips 11 on the base frame 1 can support the weight of the flipped-up panels. The drawer frame 7 at the bottom of the base frame 1 is integrally formed, which enhances the strength of the base frame 1. At the same time, the drawer frame 7 can support the weight of the drawer 2. The latch groove 21 on the front of the drawer 2 makes the drawer 2 easier to pull out. When assembling the litter box, baffles 5 and 3 need to be flipped to a vertical position first, and then baffles 4 and 6 need to be flipped to a vertical position. The protruding claws at the bottom of the cover plate 8 are engaged with the clips at the top of the baffles 3, 4, 5, and 6, thus securing the baffles 3, 4, 5, and 6. When the cat is using the drawer, first fill the drawer 2 with cat litter, then insert it into the drawer frame 7. The cat can enter through the rotating door 31. The litter discharge plate 12 on the base frame 1 can drain the cat litter stuck to the cat's paws into the drawer 2. The cat can also exit through the rotating door 81. The ventilation holes 82 on the cover plate 8 allow the internal and external air to flow.

[0036] The integrated design of drawer frame 7 and base frame 1 enhances the structural strength of base frame 1. At the same time, drawer frame 7 does not need to be fixed to the frame of base frame 1 with bolts, thereby speeding up the assembly of the litter box and reducing the number of modules, thus avoiding the problem of individual modules being easily lost.

[0037] After flipping and folding the fourth baffle 6, flip the second baffle 4 and attach it to the fourth baffle 6. Then flip the third baffle 5 and the first baffle 3. Place the cover plate 8 on top, thus quickly folding the litter box. This structure design does not require skilled operation. Each panel can be folded or assembled accurately and quickly. It also avoids assembly and splicing errors caused by the separation of each module and the problem of losing a module.

[0038] Multiple ventilation holes 82 are provided on the body of the cover plate 8 to allow air to flow between the inside and outside of the litter box, preventing the air inside the litter box from becoming too turbid. Furthermore, the sides of the baffles 2 4 and 4 6 are provided with latches 1 41 and 2 61, so that the assembled litter box can be gripped by the user by the latches 1 41 and 2 61, providing a gripping point for the hand and allowing the litter box to be moved.

[0039] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
