This reflects a humanized and practical design philosophy and further enhances the machine's market competitiveness.

[0042] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the litter box 2 has a barrel-shaped structure, and the exhaust vent 21 is located at one end of the litter box 2 to exhaust internal gas; while the opening for the cat to enter the litter box 2 is located at the opposite end, which facilitates the pet's entry and exit while effectively guiding the odor gas to be concentrated and discharged in the direction of the exhaust vent 21.

[0043] See Figure 5 The cat litter machine of this utility model also includes an air duct 3. The bottom of the machine body 1 is provided with a base 11, and an installation groove 111 is provided on the base 11. The filter box 5 can be detachably installed in the installation groove 111. The fan 6 is provided on the base 11, and the air inlet end of the fan 6 is connected to one end of the air duct 3, and the air outlet end of the fan 6 is connected to the installation groove 111. The other end of the air duct 3 is connected to the other end of the air duct cavity 16.

[0044] In this embodiment, the air duct 3 is made of soft material, which is beneficial to improve the flexibility and adaptability of the air duct 3, simplify the assembly process, improve the ease of installation, and enhance the adaptability and compatibility with the structure of the body 1.

[0045] See Figure 3The filter box 5 has a connector 511 at one end. The mounting groove 111 has multiple fasteners 1112 and a connector hole 1111 that communicates with the air outlet of the fan 6. The connector 511 is inserted into the connector hole 1111 and fixed by the multiple fasteners 1112. During installation, the connector 511 can be inserted into and locked into the connector hole 1111 by pushing. No tools are required, which facilitates quick disassembly and replacement, ensuring the stability of the filter box 5 after installation and preventing it from loosening or falling off during operation.

[0046] Specifically, a sealing ring 512 is fitted on the insertion pipe 511; when the insertion pipe 511 is connected to the insertion hole 1111, the inner side wall of the insertion hole 1111 and the outer side wall of the insertion pipe 511 squeeze the sealing ring 512, thereby achieving a good sealing effect. This sealing structure effectively prevents unfiltered gas from leaking out, improves the sealing performance, and ensures that the odor-containing air in the litter box 2 can flow smoothly into the filter box 5 for treatment, thereby optimizing the overall user experience.

[0047] See Figure 6-8 The filter box 5 includes a box body 51 for containing filter material and a cover 52 detachably mounted on the box body 51. The cover 52 is provided with an air outlet 521. The box body 51 is provided with a guide groove 513 and a slot 514 communicating with the guide groove 513. The cover 52 is provided with a locking block 522. After the locking block 522 slides with the guide groove 513 and rotates at a certain angle, the locking block 522 is locked in the slot 514 to fix the cover 52 to the box body 51.

[0048] Therefore, by using the snap-fit ​​mechanism of the locking block 522 and the locking slot 514, a simple and secure connection can be achieved between the cover 52 and the body 51 of the filter box 5, facilitating disassembly and replacement of the filter material during routine maintenance. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​structure of the locking block 522 and the locking slot 514 effectively avoids the odor leakage problem caused by poor sealing in traditional structures, improving the filtration effect and ensuring the long-term stability of the filter box 5. The optimized disassembly and installation method also enhances ease of use and improves the overall user experience.

[0049] In this embodiment, the cover 52 is also provided with a marking 523 for easy opening and replacement of the filter material inside the box 51; more specifically, the base 11 is also provided with a clearance groove 12 located on one side of the mounting groove 111. When the filter box 5 is installed in the mounting groove 111, the clearance groove 12 provides sufficient space for the cover 52 of the filter box 5, making it easy for the user to easily remove the filter box 5 by reaching into the clearance groove 12 when disassembling the filter box 5. This not only facilitates daily maintenance and replacement of the filter box 5, but also improves the user experience, simplifies the disassembly process, and reduces the difficulty of operation.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, the filter material is activated carbon, filter cotton, etc., which have good odor adsorption and air filtration performance. These materials can effectively remove odors in the litter box 2, ensuring that the filtration effect is long-lasting and stable, thereby further improving the overall use effect and user experience of the litter machine.

[0051] Furthermore, a first mounting plate 14 and a second mounting plate 15 are provided on one side of the body 1. The first mounting plate 14 and the second mounting plate 15 are interlocked to form an air guide cavity 16. The first mounting plate 14 is provided with an air inlet hole 13, which is used to connect the exhaust port 21 on the litter box 2 with the air guide cavity 16, thereby guiding the odor-containing air in the litter box 2 into the air guide cavity 16, improving the airflow guiding efficiency, and providing a guarantee for subsequent treatment.

[0052] See Figure 9 The first mounting plate 14 is equipped with a drive motor 4, the output end of which is connected to a first gear 41. A second gear 23 is located on one side of the exhaust vent 21 on the litter box 2. The second gear 23 meshes with the first gear 41 to drive the litter box 2 to rotate. The litter box 2 also contains a filter screen 22, which filters cat litter when the litter box 2 rotates, preventing cat litter from mixing with excrement, improving cleaning efficiency, and further enhancing the cleaning effect and user experience.

[0053] In summary, this utility model cat litter machine, by adopting a detachable filter box structure, overcomes the problem of non-removable or cumbersome replacement of the filter box 5 in the prior art, significantly improving the convenience of daily maintenance and the continuous air purification effect of the equipment. This not only optimizes the user experience, but also improves the practicality and reliability of the equipment, thereby improving the indoor air environment and meeting the user's dual needs for cleanliness and convenience.

[0054] This utility model cat litter machine has an exhaust port 21 on the body 1, and together with a detachable filter box 5 and a fan 6 located at the bottom of the body 1, it forms an odor removal and filtration system. The air in the cat litter box 2 is guided into the filter box 5 through the air guide cavity 16 by the fan 6 for treatment before being discharged, which effectively inhibits the spread of odor from excrement in the cat litter box 2.
