[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 7A detachable cat litter box includes: a litter box 1, a top cover 2 detachably connected to the top of the litter box 1, and a baffle 3 for sieving litter clumps detachably connected to the top cover 2. The end of the baffle 3 away from the top cover 2 abuts against the bottom of the inner wall of the litter box 1. The baffle 3, the inner wall of the top cover 2, and the inner wall of the litter box 1 enclose a sieving space 11. When the top cover 2 is installed facing forward, it is located above the litter box 1. When stored, the top cover 2 is installed facing backward inside the litter box 1.

[0035] Before use, install the top cover 2 onto the sand basin 1 with the top cover facing forward, assemble one end of the enclosure 3 onto the top cover 2, and adjust the other end to abut against the bottom of the sand basin 1. Install the enclosure 3.

[0036] When sieving litter clumps, with one side of the sieving space 11 facing down, rotate the litter bowl 1 and the top cover 2 so that all the litter at the bottom of the litter bowl 1 passes through the enclosure 3 into the sieving space 11, isolating the litter clumps outside the sieving space 11, thus separating the litter clumps from the litter. Continue rotating the litter bowl 1 and the top cover 2, and under the action of gravity, the litter clumps slide down along the enclosure 3 to the outside of the litter bowl, thereby cleaning up the litter clumps.

[0037] In this embodiment, when transporting and storing the litter box, the top cover 2 is installed upside down into the litter box 1, and the enclosure 3 is placed inside the top cover 2. At this time, both the top cover 2 and the enclosure 3 are located in the litter box, and the volume of the litter box is reduced.

[0038] As can be seen, in terms of packaging materials, one pack of litter box material is enough to package the entire litter box;

[0039] In terms of transportation costs, a container of the same volume can hold more litter boxes, which can reduce transportation costs.

[0040] In terms of user experience, the foldable litter box takes up little space when stored, saving storage space and improving the user experience.

[0041] In one embodiment, a base 4 is provided with an installation cavity 43, and the sand basin 1 is installed on the installation cavity 43. Rotating mechanisms 5 are detachably installed on both sides of the sand basin 1.

[0042] The sum of the volumes of the two rotating mechanisms 5 is less than the volume of the upper cover 2;

[0043] The volume of the sand basin 1 is less than or equal to the volume of the mounting cavity 43.

[0044] When cleaning up sand clumps, the rotating mechanism 5 drives the sand basin 1 and the upper cover 2 to rotate, so as to separate the sand clumps and sand.

[0045] When folding and storing the litter box, the two rotating mechanisms 5 are placed into the upper cover 2 of the litter box 1 to reduce the storage space of the litter box.

[0046] When cleaning litter clumps, the position of the litter in litter box 1 changes, and the center of gravity of litter box 1 also changes continuously. In order to avoid affecting the litter clump sieving effect due to the instability of the center of gravity of litter box 1 and top cover 2 when litter box 1 and top cover 2 are rotating, a base 4 is provided in this embodiment. The base 4 can not only lower the center of gravity of the litter box, but also provide stable support for the rotating mechanism 5 on both sides of litter box 1, so that litter box 1 and top cover 2 rotate smoothly and reduce the shaking of the entire litter box caused by the change of the center of gravity of litter box 1 and top cover 2.

[0047] The volume of the litter box 1 is less than or equal to the volume of the mounting cavity 43. When the litter box is folded and stored, the litter box 1 is embedded in the base 4, reducing the space occupied by the litter box.

[0048] Specifically, when the sand basin 1 is installed on the base 4, refer to Figure 1 The sieving space 11 is located at the highest point of the litter box so that the litter is concentrated in the lowest area of ​​the litter box 1, so that even if there is only a small amount of litter, the pet's excrement can be clumped together.

[0049] Specifically, the rotating mechanism 5 in this application is a common structure in the prior art for driving the rotation of a cat litter box, such as a gear transmission structure or a chain transmission structure, which will not be described in detail here.

[0050] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the upper cover 2 is provided with a groove 22, and the outer wall of the sand basin 1 is provided with a snap-in part 12 that matches the groove 22. The snap-in part 12 snaps into the groove 22 to fix the upper cover 2 above the sand basin 1.

[0051] The slot 22 and the snap-in part 12 ensure that the upper cover 2 is stably fixed in the sand basin 1, reducing the possibility that the upper cover 2 will detach from the sand basin 1 during the flipping process, thus affecting the screening effect.

[0052] In one embodiment, the slot 22 protrudes from the outer wall of the upper cover 2, the snap-in part 12 protrudes from the outer wall of the sand basin 1, and the rotating mechanism 5 has a clamping groove 53 on one side. When the snap-in part 12 is assembled to the slot 22, the snap-in part 12 and the slot 22 are assembled together in the clamping groove 53, which fixes the relative position between the rotating mechanism 5, the upper cover 2, and the sand basin 1, and further improves the stability of the upper cover 2 and the sand basin 1 during the flipping process.

[0053] In one embodiment, a slot 41 is provided on the upper part of the base 4, and a plug 52 matching the slot 41 is provided at the bottom of the rotating mechanism 5. The plug 52 is used to insert into the slot 41 to install the rotating mechanism 5 on the base 4.

[0054] In one embodiment, the bottom of the base 4 is detachably connected to a garbage box 6 for holding sand clumps. When the rotating mechanism 5 drives the upper cover 2 and the sand basin 1 to rotate to a suitable position, the screened sand clumps slide down the enclosure 3 into the garbage box 6.

[0055] In one embodiment, the base 4 is provided with a plurality of support feet 44. The height of the trash can 6 is equal to or less than the height of the support feet 44, and less than the depth of the sand basin 1. The support feet 44 elevate the base 4, thereby providing space for the trash can 6 to be installed.

[0056] Reference Figures 5 to 7 In one embodiment, the base 4 is provided with a linear guide rail 42 at the bottom, and the two sides of the trash box 6 are respectively slidably connected to the linear guide rail. The linear guide rail 42 can realize the pulling of the trash box 6, which is convenient for cleaning the sand in the trash box 6.

[0057] Understandably, there is no support foot 44 to block the entrance of the linear guide rail 42, so that the trash box 6 can be smoothly pulled out from the bottom of the base 4.

[0058] In one embodiment, the trash can 6 includes a first part 61 and a second part 62, the second part 62 partially sliding within the first part 61, the first part 61 having a guide groove 611, and the second part 62 having a limiting block 621 sliding within the guide groove 611.

[0059] The first part 61 and the second part 62 slide relative to each other, which can control the volume of the trash can 6 and realize the switching between large and small volume. In addition, during transportation, the first part 61 and the second part 62 are moved to minimize the volume of the trash can 6, making it easy to store and transport.

[0060] Furthermore, the limiting block 621 slides in the guide groove 611, which can prevent the first part 61 and the second part 62 from completely separating, causing the sand clumps in the trash box to spill out and affecting the collection function of the trash box 6.

[0061] In one embodiment, the first split body 61 is provided with a limiting protrusion 612 at its bottom, and the second split body 62 is provided with a first limiting hole 622 and a second limiting hole 623 for the limiting protrusion 612 to be inserted. The first limiting hole 622 and the second limiting hole 623 are used to limit the maximum and minimum distance that the second split body 62 slides in the first split body 61, so as to prevent the first split body 61 and the second split body 62 from completely separating due to improper operation by the user.

[0062] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
