Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pet supplies, specifically relating to a cat litter box that combs and absorbs fur. Background Technology

[0002] Domestic cats shed frequently, especially indoor cats, which shed a lot of fur indoors, requiring owners to groom them regularly. To reduce grooming time, manual brushes and electric hair vacuums have been developed on the market. However, these still require manual operation by the owner and don't automatically collect and remove fur. Some grooming devices rely on the cat rubbing against them, but cats don't always pass by these devices. The litter box is a place cats frequent, but most existing litter boxes don't automatically groom or remove fur. Some use a brush mechanism attached to the outside of the entrance to collect fur, but this doesn't actually remove it. The collected fur remains on the brush mechanism and easily mixes with spilled litter, requiring owners to clean the brush mechanism frequently. Utility Model Content

[0035] refer to Figure 4The base 1 has a first opening 101 on its side, which connects to the interior of the base 1. The cat litter drawer 2 is slidably installed in the first opening 101 and is used to hold cat litter. The base 1 also has a second opening 102 on its side. The base 1 has an installation groove 103 inside, and the second opening 102 and the installation groove 103 are connected. The negative pressure device 5 is installed in the installation groove 103. The upper part of the installation groove 103 is provided with a cover plate 20. A filter box 501 is detachably connected to the negative pressure device 5. The filter box 501 is used to filter pet hair in the negative pressure pipe sucked in by the negative pressure device 5. One end of the filter box 501 can be removed from the second opening 102, so that the user can clean the pet hair collected in the filter box 501.

[0036] refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The support 3 has multiple rollers 303 arranged circumferentially on the back side of the first ring 301. The inner edge of the rotating ring 6 is axially aligned with the first ring 301 of the support 3. The outer edge of the rotating ring 6 is provided with an annular folded edge 601. Through the rolling cooperation of the annular folded edge and each roller 303, the rotating ring 6 can rotate on the support 3 under the drive of the rotation drive mechanism 7.

The drive motor 701 can drive the rotating ring 6 to rotate through the drive gear, so that the scraping part 8 on the rotating ring 6 passes through multiple combing parts 4 in sequence, and scrapes the pet hair on the multiple combing parts 4 together to the outside of the suction port 402 on one of the combing parts 4, so that the pet hair is sucked away uniformly.

[0044] Example 4

[0045] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 Based on embodiment 1, a combing diameter adjustment ring 12 is provided between multiple combing parts 4 and the support 3. The combing diameter adjustment ring 12 is also located inside the end face 19. Multiple fixed shafts 302 are provided around the first ring opening 301 on the outer side of the support 3. One end of each combing part 4 is respectively hinged to a fixed shaft 302. Each combing part 4 is also provided with a sliding pin 403. Multiple circumferential sliding holes 1201 and oblique sliding holes 1202 are provided on the combing diameter adjustment ring 12. Each fixed shaft 302 passes through the corresponding circumferential sliding hole 1201, so that the combing diameter adjustment ring 12 can slide relative to multiple fixed shafts 302 at the same time, thereby realizing the rotation of the combing diameter adjustment ring 12 relative to the first ring opening 301.

[0046] Each of the combing components 4 has a sliding pin 403 that passes through a corresponding oblique sliding hole 1202. When the combing diameter adjustment ring 12 rotates, it can drive each sliding pin 403 and each combing component 4 to swing through the oblique sliding hole 1202, so that the end of the combing component 4 with combing teeth 402 swings toward the first ring opening 301, thereby adjusting the combing diameter and allowing the entire combing litter box to comb cats of different sizes.

[0047] Example 5

[0048] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 Based on embodiment 4, the outer edge of the comb diameter adjustment ring 12 is provided with gear teeth, and the support 3 is rotatably provided with an adjustment gear 13. The adjustment gear 13 meshes with the gear teeth on the comb diameter adjustment ring 12, and an adjustment device is connected to the rotating shaft of the adjustment gear 13.

[0049] The adjustment device can be an adjustment motor 14. By controlling the rotation of the adjustment motor 14, the adjustment gear 13 and the combing diameter adjustment ring 12 can be driven to rotate, thereby realizing the automatic adjustment of the combing diameter.

[0050] The adjustment device can also be a manual knob 22. A through hole is provided on the end cover 19. One end of the rotating shaft of the adjustment gear 13 passes through the through hole and can be connected to the manual knob 22. By rotating the manual knob 22, the adjustment gear 13 and the combing diameter adjustment ring 12 can be driven to rotate, thereby realizing the manual adjustment of the combing diameter.

[0051] Example 6

[0052] refer to Figure 7 Based on Example 1, the shaving part 8 is radially slidably assembled on the rotating ring 6, and an elastic element 15 is provided between the shaving part 8 and the rotating ring 6. A support plate 802 is provided on the shaving part 8, and the support plate 802 presses on the surface of the combing part 4.

[0053] The inner side of the rotating ring 6 is provided with a radial groove or radial sleeve 602. One end of the scraping component 8 is slidably fitted in the radial groove or radial hole. The elastic element 15 can be a compression spring or a tension spring. When a tension spring is used, one end of the elastic element 15 is connected to the other end of the scraping component 8, and the other end of the elastic element 15 is connected to the rotating ring 6. When the ends of each combing component 4 with combing teeth 401 swing inward or outward from the ring opening 301, the combing component 4 can drive the scraping component 8 to move radially through the support plate 802. The elastic element 15 will pull the scraping component 8 and the support plate 802 to press against the combing component 4, which can ensure that the support plate 802 keeps in contact with each combing component 4, ensure that the relative distance between the scraping component 8 and the combing component 4 remains unchanged, and ensure that the scraping teeth 801 can scrape the hair. When the rotating ring 6 rotates, the scraping component 8 slides from one combing component 4 to another combing component 4 through the support plate 802.

[0054] Example 7

[0055] refer to Figure 10 Based on any of the above embodiments, it also includes a controller 16 and a control panel 23. The control panel 23 is bidirectionally connected to the controller 16. The two signal output terminals of the controller 16 are electrically connected to the rotation drive mechanism 7 and the negative pressure device 5, respectively, to control the drive mechanism to drive the rotating ring 6 to rotate, so that the negative pressure device 5 can suck up hair through the suction port 402.

[0056] Two of the signal output terminals of the controller 16 are electrically connected to the negative pressure device 5 and the drive motor 701 in the rotary drive mechanism 7, respectively. The controller 16 can control the start and stop of the drive motor 701 and the negative pressure device 5, and can control the rotary drive mechanism 7 to drive the rotating ring 6 to rotate, so that the shaving part 8 shaves the hair on each combing part 4, and at the same time, the negative pressure device 5 sucks away the pet hair shaving part 8 from each combing part 4 through the suction port 401.
