[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses a cat litter box structure that is easy to clean, including a base structure 1, a top structure 2 at the top of the base structure 1, and a cat litter scoop structure 3 that is movably inserted into the top structure 2.

[0024] The base structure 1 includes a placement seat 101, and a placement basin 103 is movably inserted into the interior of the placement seat 101 through a pull-out port 102. A card slot interface 108 is provided on the side end of the placement seat 101.

[0025] The top basin structure 2 includes a protective cover 201. The side end of the protective cover 201 is slidably connected to a snap-fit ​​protrusion 206 via a damping spring. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 206 is located inside the snap-fit ​​interface 108. A separation basin 207 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the protective cover 201 via a hinge 208. The separation basin 207 is located inside the placement basin 103.

[0026] Specifically, the placement seat 101 is internally fitted with a step partition 104, which is located in front of the opening of the protective cover 201. The placement seat 101 is internally provided with a guide ramp 105, which is located below the step partition 104. The opening of the placement basin 103 is provided with a barrier strip 106, which is attached to the bottom end of the guide ramp 105.

[0027] In this embodiment, the cat will enter and exit the opening of the protective cover 201 by stepping on the partition 104. The surface of the partition 104 has a drop-off opening, so when the cat moves out through the opening of the protective cover 201, the residual cat litter on its paws will fall onto the guide ramp 105 along the drop-off opening.

[0028] The litter slides down the guide ramp 105 to the bottom of the litter box 103, preventing the cat litter from being carried out of the litter box by the cat and keeping the surrounding environment clean. The barrier strip 106 further prevents the cat litter from spilling out of the opening of the litter box 103, enhancing the practicality of the litter box.

[0029] In addition, the design of the stepping partition 104 and the guide ramp 105 also takes into account the situation of cat litter overflowing into the placement basin 103, thus ensuring that even if cat litter overflows into the placement basin 103, it will fall onto the guide ramp 105 and slide back into the placement basin 103, preventing cat litter from scattering outside the cat litter basin and keeping the cat litter basin and its surrounding environment clean.

[0030] Specifically, a connecting rod 202 is fixedly connected to the opening of the protective cover 201, and a rotating door panel 203 is rotatably connected to the opening of the protective cover 201 through the connecting rod 202.

[0031] In this implementation plan, the owner can easily open or close the litter box using the rotating door 203, providing the cat with a relatively enclosed and private elimination environment, reducing external interference and improving the cat's comfort. The rotating door 203 also facilitates the owner's observation of the litter box's interior and allows for routine litter cleaning and maintenance.

[0032] Specifically, the top of the protective cover 201 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 204, and an external handle 205 is movably connected inside the snap-fit ​​groove 204.

[0033] In this implementation, the owner can easily lift the protective cover 201 by grasping the external handle 205, facilitating the overall cleaning and maintenance of the litter box. The external handle 205 not only enhances the portability of the litter box but also makes it easier for the owner to move it, improving ease of use. Furthermore, when not in use, the external handle 205 can be locked into the locking slot 204, avoiding the occupation of extra space and maintaining the cleanliness and aesthetics of the litter box.

[0034] Specifically, the front side of the placement seat 101 is provided with a storage groove 107, and the cat litter scoop structure 3 is located inside the storage groove 107. The cat litter scoop structure 3 includes a scraping scoop 301. The inner side of the scraping scoop 301 is rotatably connected to a handle 303 through a pivot 302. The surface of the scraping scoop 301 is provided with an interlocking interface 304. When the handle 303 is rotated to the outside of the scraping scoop 301, it fits against the inner wall of the interlocking interface 304.

[0035] In this implementation plan, the design of the litter scoop structure 3 also fully considers practicality. The litter scoop structure 3 is located inside the storage compartment 107, making it easy for owners to quickly retrieve and use it when needed. The surface of the scraper 301 has an interlocking interface 304, and the handle 303 can rotate to the outside of the scraper 301 and fit against the inner wall of the interlocking interface 304. This design not only saves storage space but also prevents the litter scoop from occupying extra space when not in use, while also making it convenient for owners to carry and store.

[0036] When in use, cat litter can be poured into the inside of the separating basin 207. Since the separating basin 207 has a filter hole inside, and the size of the filter hole is larger than the size of the clean cat litter granules, but smaller than the size of the clumps of cat litter, the cat litter will exist between the placement basin 103 and the separating basin 207.

[0037] When using the litter box, the cat can step on the partition 104 to enter and exit the opening of the protective cover 201 covered by the rotating door 203, and then the cat steps on the litter to defecate.

[0038] After defecating, cats will dig around the litter box to bury the waste. Over time, some of the litter will clump together as it absorbs urine or feces.

[0039] When the owner needs to clean the litter box, first press the snap-fit ​​protrusion 206 to make the snap-fit ​​protrusion 206 retract into the protective cover 201, so that the snap-fit ​​protrusion 206 is separated from the snap-fit ​​interface 108, and the placement seat 101 can be separated from the protective cover 201. Then, by grasping the external handle 205, the protective cover 201 and the separation tray 207 below it can be easily lifted together.

[0040] Because of the filter holes, clean, unclumped cat litter falls into the placement basin 103 through the filter holes, while clumped cat litter remains on the separation basin 207.

[0041] After lifting, the owner can rotate the protective cover 201 through the hinge 208 to separate the protective cover 201 from the separation basin 207, thus exposing the clumps of cat litter in the separation basin 207 to the view.

[0042] At this point, the owner can observe the clumped cat litter. The owner can use the scraper 301 in the cat litter scoop structure 3 to clean the cat litter remaining on the separation tray 207. By scraping with the scraper 301, the cat litter remaining on the separation tray 207 can be cleaned.

[0043] After cleaning up the clumped cat litter, the owner removes the placement bowl 103 from the extraction port 102 and pours the clean cat litter in the placement bowl 103 into a temporary container (which can be another cat litter bowl). Then, the empty placement bowl 103 is reinserted into the placement seat 101 through the extraction port 102. Subsequently, the separation bowl 207 is placed back under the protective cover 201, and the protective cover 201 and the placement seat 101 are fixed together again by the snap-fit ​​action of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 206 and the snap-fit ​​interface 108.

[0044] At this point, the placement bowl 103 and the separation bowl 207 are reattached together. Then, the clean cat litter in the temporary storage container is poured back between the placement bowl 103 and the separation bowl 207, completing the entire cat litter replacement and litter box cleaning process.

[0045] In summary, this easy-to-clean litter box structure, through the design of the base structure 1 and the top structure 2, and the detachable structure between the placement seat 101 and the protective cover 201, allows for easy and quick separation between the placement bowl 103 and the separation bowl 207. This facilitates the effective separation of clumped litter from other unclumped litter, making it easier for owners to clean up clumped litter and simplifying the entire process. This improvement not only increases the efficiency of cleaning but also significantly reduces the burden on owners when cleaning litter boxes.
