[0036] Embodiment 2

[0037] As Figures 1 to 5 shown in one open type splicing cat litter box, the core component is a cat litter bin 1 for containing cat litter. In terms of material selection, the cat litter bin 1 can be made of stainless steel or plastic material. Considering various factors, the embodiment preferably selects stainless steel material for preparing the basic basin of the cat litter box. First, stainless steel material has very high durability and can remain stable during long-term use without deformation or serious wear. Second, the surface of stainless steel is smooth and delicate, and cat litter, urine and other dirt are difficult to remain on its surface, making the later cleaning work easier. In addition, stainless steel material is not easy to absorb odor and stains, which can effectively avoid the accumulation of odor and provide a more sanitary toilet environment for cats, and also provide a fresher home environment for people. Furthermore, the weight of the stainless steel cat litter box is larger, and it is more stable when placed. It is difficult for cats to kick over or move during use, thereby effectively avoiding furniture damage or environmental chaos caused by the cat litter box being knocked over, which is conducive to maintaining the cleanliness and order of the home environment.

[0038] The cat litter bin 1 is provided with an elevated layer 2 on the top. The elevated layer 2 is in an open top state, and a semicircular groove 3 is formed on the front side of the elevated layer 2. In this way, cats can choose to jump into the cat litter bin 1 from above the cat litter box or easily enter and exit through the semicircular groove 3. Specifically, the embodiment fully considers the behavior habits and comfort of different cats. For some cats that like to move in high places, when they want to enter the cat litter bin 1, they can choose to directly jump into the bin from above by using their agility. For some cats that do not like to jump or have a small body size, they can elegantly step into the cat litter bin 1 through the semicircular groove 3 without having to jump, thereby reducing anxiety or resistance that may be caused by inconvenience.

[0039] At the same time, the setting of the elevated layer 2 can increase the actual capacity and space of the cat litter bin 1, thereby accommodating cats of different sizes to enter and exit at will, reducing the splashing and scattering of cat litter when cats use the cat litter box, preventing cats from taking cat litter out of the cat litter box when entering and exiting, effectively reducing the frequency and difficulty of cleaning the ground, and maintaining the cleanliness of the furniture environment. In addition, the open top state of the elevated layer 2 also helps to improve the ventilation in the cat litter bin 1, reduce odor accumulation, and keep the air in the bin fresh.

[0040] Further, buckles 12 are symmetrically arranged on the right side of the elevated layer 2. Users can insert and place a litter shovel (not shown in the figure) through the buckles 12. The front and rear arrangement can also meet the different needs of users or the convenient position of the user. The shovel head of the litter shovel is made of high-density polycarbonate material, and the surface is distributed with nano-grade sand texture, which can effectively prevent cat litter from sticking and avoid scratching the cat litter box coating.

[0041] The arc-shaped slot 4 is internally provided with an installation corner guard 5, and the installation corner guard 5 and the arc-shaped slot 4 conform to the shape of the chamfer on the top of the high-rise layer 2. The installation corner guard 5 is internally provided with a plug-in slot 6. Meanwhile, the left and right sides of the high-rise layer 2 are both provided with auxiliary clamping plates 8, the auxiliary clamping plates 8 are provided in a front-to-back through manner and form auxiliary slots 9, and then the plug-in slot 6 and the auxiliary slot 9 can be provided with an extension plate 7. The shape of the extension plate 7 is adapted to the top edge of the high-rise layer 2, so as to be easily inserted into the plug-in slot 6 and the auxiliary slot 9 and stably installed on the top of the high-rise layer 2. Without complex installation steps, the vertical expansion of the litter box 1 can be easily realized, the actual capacity and space of the litter box 1 are further increased, and the adaptability of the litter basin to different cats is further increased. Meanwhile, the overall consistency can be visually maintained.

[0042] The installation corner guard 5 comprises an inner circular plate 501 and an outer circular plate 502. The inner circular edge closely abuts the inner side of the arc-shaped slot 4, and the bottom thereof is externally provided with a first installation strip 503. Correspondingly, the outer circular plate 502 closely abuts the outer side of the arc-shaped slot 4, and the bottom thereof is provided with a second installation strip 504. The size and shape of the second installation strip 504 are consistent with those of the arc-shaped slot 4, that is, the second installation strip 504 can be completely fitted with the arc-shaped slot 4. When the bottom inner side of the second installation strip 504 is provided with a clamping groove 505 and the clamping groove 505 is consistent with the edge shape of the first installation strip 503, the inner circular plate 501 can be placed first, and then the outer circular plate 502 is placed in the arc-shaped slot 4. The inner circular plate 501 is fixed through the clamping groove 505, and then the outer circular plate 502 is installed in the arc-shaped slot 4 through the fixing holes 506 provided at both ends of the second installation strip 504. The installation parts can be screws, bolts and the like. In this way, the plug-in slot 6 is formed between the inner circular plate 501 and the outer circular plate 502.

[0043] Without considering the production cost and the mold precision, the arc-shaped slot 4 and the above installation components can be directly replaced by two arc-shaped installation corner guards. That is, two installation corner guards are provided at the four corners of the top of the high-rise layer 2, and the plug-in slot 6 is formed between the two installation corner guards.

[0044] Further, the front side of the extension plate 7 is provided with an extension opening 10, and the width of the extension opening 10 is equal to that of the semicircular slot 3. The extension opening 10 and the round shape of the corner 11 can avoid the discomfort or injury of the cat caused by the collision between the head and the extension plate 7 when the cat enters the litter box 1 through the semicircular slot 3.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] Further, the extension plate 7 can be made of PP frosted material or PVC material; the PP frosted material is a kind of polypropylene material, which has the characteristics of light weight, good toughness, strong chemical corrosion resistance, moisture resistance, etc., while the PVC material has good mechanical strength, chemical corrosion resistance and electrical insulation, and its thermal stability and durability can be improved by stabilizers; both materials are environmentally friendly and recyclable, and users can choose the extension plate 7 according to their own needs; in addition, the extension plate 7 made of PP frosted material and PVC material has a certain flexibility, which can better adapt to the shape and size of the cat litter basin, and thus the vertical expansion of the cat litter bin 1 can be easily completed during installation.

[0047] Embodiment 4

[0048] In actual use, for some cats with larger body size and more frequent activity, the cat litter basin will still move when running and jumping, so the embodiment also provides a shell 13, which is open at the top and has a size customized according to the specific size of the cat litter basin to ensure that it closely fits the cat litter basin; this design does not hinder the normal use of the cat litter basin, but also provides additional protection for the cat litter basin. Further, the shell 13 is made of corrugated paper, which has good cushioning performance and certain structural strength, which can effectively reduce the impact of the cat's activity on the cat litter basin, thereby reducing the possibility of the cat litter basin moving and the noise when the cat litter basin moves.

[0049] In addition, the corrugated paper shell 13 can further enhance its durability and stability through multi-layer structure design, for example:

[0050] 1. By increasing the number of corrugated paper layers, such as double or triple corrugated paper structure, the wave structure of each layer of corrugated paper can effectively disperse external force and enhance the overall compression resistance;

[0051] 2. A core paper layer is provided between the corrugated paper layers, which can provide additional support and further enhance the structural strength of the shell 13;

[0052] 3. Increase the thickness of the corrugated paper at the key positions such as the corners and bottom of the shell 13, which can effectively improve the tear resistance and compression performance of the shell 13; etc.
