[0027] The following embodiments take a cat litter basin with combing and removing hair functions as an example, each adjusting mechanism of the entrance and exit constitutes a comb unit, and multiple comb units jointly constitute a combing device for realizing the combing and removing hair functions. Embodiment one
[0028] This embodiment is basically as Figure 1 , Figure 2The diagram shows an inlet / outlet adjustment mechanism comprising six grooming units radially distributed at the inlet / outlet of a litter box. Each grooming unit includes a grooming brush, a grooming base 1, and a stroke adjustment mechanism. The grooming base 1 has an integrally formed collection chamber, with an installation port for mounting the grooming brush on its inward-facing side. The stroke adjustment mechanism includes a lever and a driver. A slider 6 is integrally formed with the grooming base 1 and is located on the outer wall of the grooming base 1. In this embodiment, the guide portion is a guide groove, and the slider 6 is slidably connected in the guide groove. In other embodiments, the guide portion can also be a guide post, with a collar on the slider, the collar being fitted onto the guide post and slidable.
[0029] In this embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 As shown, the driver includes a gear 2 and a rack 3. The gear 2 is a sector gear. The rack 3 is slidably connected to the base 21. More specifically, the base 21 is provided with a guide rail 20, and the rack 3 is provided with a guide rail groove. The guide rail 20 is slidably connected in the guide rail groove. To reduce the friction between the guide rail 20 and the guide rail groove, a friction-reducing groove is opened on the guide rail. The gear 2 is rotatably connected to the base 21. The sliding direction of the rack 3 is parallel to the sliding direction of the slider 6. The gear 2 and the rack 3 mesh. The rack 3 is provided with a first lever 4, which is used to abut against the slider 6. The gear 2 is provided with a locking mechanism to limit the rotation angle of the gear 2.
[0030] In this embodiment, the locking mechanism includes a first baffle 7, a rotating arm 8, and a first locking pin 9. The first baffle 7 is fixed on the base 21, one end of the rotating arm 8 is connected to the gear 2, and the first locking pin 9 is installed on the other end of the rotating arm 8. The first baffle 7 has nine first locking slots 10 on the rotation path corresponding to the first locking pin 9, realizing nine levels of adjustment for the combing depth. More specifically, in order to allow the first locking pin 9 to smoothly engage in the first locking slot 10, a spring piece 11 is integrally formed on the rotating arm 8, and the first baffle pin is installed on the spring piece 11. When the rotating arm 8 is rotated, the first locking pin 9 can automatically disengage from the other first locking slots 10 under the action of the spring piece 11. After the rotation stops, the spring piece 11 can keep the first locking pin 9 inserted into the first locking slot 10. The stroke adjustment mechanism is provided with a limiting structure that limits the upper and lower limits of the stroke of the locking mechanism, specifically as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 As shown, a retaining wheel 18 is coaxially connected to the gear 2. A blocking block 19 is provided in the radial direction of the retaining wheel 18. An arc-shaped groove 12 is provided on the second baffle 13. The blocking block 19 is slidably connected in the arc-shaped groove 12. The arc of the arc-shaped groove 12 is the rotation range of the gear 2 after being restricted.
[0031] Before use, the rotary arm 8 is rotated, the gear 2 is rotated to drive the rack 3 to slide, thereby adjusting the position of the first block 4, thereby adjusting the lower limit position of the sliding block 6, and after the position is adjusted, the first pin 9 is clamped into the corresponding first notch 10, so that the position can be maintained. When the pet passes, the push comb is pushed, the upper limit of the comb is not limited and can be automatically retracted, and the combing force is maintained by the reset mechanism to ensure the combing effect. After the pet is combed, the reset mechanism drives the brush to automatically reset for the next time the pet passes. As the pet grows, the size increases, and the combing depth can be adjusted again by rotating the rotary arm 8, and the embodiment can be applied to the combing needs of the growing stage of the pet.
[0032] In the embodiment, the reset mechanism is a torsion spring 5, the torsion spring 5 is installed on the base 21, and one end of the torsion spring 5 is connected to the sliding block 6. The torsion spring 5 drives the comb and the comb seat 1 to slide relative to the adjusting mechanism and reset, and also allows the comb to maintain a certain combing force, and the size of the elastic force of the torsion spring 5 determines the combing force. Different torsion springs 5 can be used according to needs, and the torsion springs 5 of each combing unit can also be set to different elastic force sizes according to needs, such as the force for combing the back of the pet can be greater than the force for combing the abdomen of the pet.
[0033] In other embodiments, the torsion spring 5 can be replaced by a compression spring, or the torsion spring can be arranged at the other end relative to the current position of the guide rail shown in the Figure 3 , and the direction of the rack 3 and the first block 4 is reversed, and then the upper limit position of the sliding block 6 can be set. Compared with the functional components of the combing type, setting the upper limit position of the sliding block is more suitable for the functional components of the dryer type. Embodiment two
