[0038] The basin 1 of this invention includes a shell 34 and a basin base 35. The shell 34 has an opening 38, into which the basin base 35 slides horizontally. A cavity 2 is formed between the basin base 35 and the shell 34. The shell 34 has a cat inlet / outlet 3, which communicates with the cavity 2. The interior of the basin base 35 is used to hold cat litter. To facilitate the pulling and sliding of the basin base 35, allowing it to move horizontally within the shell 34, a push-pull mechanism 37 is provided on the outer side of the basin base 35. A gap is formed between the push-pull mechanism 37 and the outer side of the basin base 35, allowing fingers to be inserted. To increase the stability of the basin base 35 within the shell 34, a magnet can be provided at the bottom of the shell 34, and a magnet can also be provided on the basin base 35. The magnets attract each other, thus confining the basin base 35 within the shell 34.
[0039] The paper shredding structure 4 of this utility model includes a paper shredding shell 7 and paper shredding shafts 8. The paper shredding shell 7 has a connected cavity and an opening 40. The paper shredding shaft 8 is equipped with blades 10, which shred waste paper fed into the opening 40. Two paper shredding shafts 8 are arranged in parallel, with two shafts 8 having gears 11 that mesh with each other. The paper shredding shell 7 is equipped with a motor 9, which is connected to one of the paper shredding shafts 8, causing the two paper shredding shafts 8 to rotate in opposite directions.
[0040] An inner cover plate 12 is embedded in the opening 40. The cover plate 12 has a waste paper inlet 13, which is located above the two shredder shafts 8. Waste paper enters the cavity through the waste paper inlet 13. The top of the shredder housing 7 has a slot 14, which is connected to the opening 40. The slot 14 is located on one side of the cover plate 12, which facilitates the removal of the cover plate 12 from the opening 40 to clean the shredder shafts 8, remove residual paper scraps, and ensure proper shredding of waste paper.
[0041] The stirring structure 5 of this utility model includes a stirring shell 15 and a stirring paddle 17. The stirring shell 15 and the shredded paper shell 7 are an integral structure. The stirring shell 15 has a second cavity, which is connected to the first cavity. The stirring paddle 17 is disposed in the second cavity. The stirring shell 15 is equipped with a second motor 16, which drives the stirring paddle 17 to rotate. The stirring shell 15 has a discharge port 18, which is movably connected to a sealing plate 19.
[0042] The pelleting structure 6 includes a pelleting shell 20 and a rotating shaft 25. The pelleting shell 20 has a connected feed inlet 41 and a cavity 21. The rotating shaft 25 is located in the cavity 21. A motor 24 is installed in the mounting hole 23 of the pelleting shell 20. The motor 24 drives the rotating shaft 25 to rotate. The rotating shaft 25 is connected to a connector 26. The connector 26 has three ends, each of which is threadedly connected to a mounting rod 28. An extrusion head 27 is installed on the mounting rod 28, so that this invention has three extrusion heads 27. The included angle between the axes of two adjacent extrusion heads 27 is 120°. The bottom of the pelleting shell 20 has multiple evenly distributed extrusion holes 22, which are connected to the cavity 21.
[0043] When the sealing plate 19 is closed in the discharge port 18, the bottom of the stirring shell 15 of this invention is in a sealed state. At this time, the bottom of the stirring shell 15 is embedded in the embedding groove 39 at the top of the granulation shell 20. Then, the cover plate 12 is removed from the opening 40, and water is added through the opening 40. The motor 16 is turned on, and the stirring paddle 17 is used to fully stir the shredded paper and water to mix them and form a uniform pulp. Then, paper mill sludge, binder, paper dust and additives are added and stirred thoroughly to obtain a mixture. Then, the mixture is allowed to stand for a set time, the stirring shell 15 is removed from the embedding groove 39 at the top of the granulation shell 20, and the sealing plate 19 is removed from the discharge port 18. The mixture formed by stirring is discharged from the discharge port 18 into the feed port 41 of the granulation shell 20, and the mixture enters the cavity 21 through the feed port 41.
[0044] When the mixture is in cavity 21, motor 24 is turned on. Motor 24 drives rotating shaft 25 to rotate. Extrusion head 27 squeezes the mixture, so that the mixture is squeezed out from extrusion hole 22 to obtain paper cat litter.
[0045] The bottom of the pelleting shell 20 extends downward to form a connecting part, which has a communicating opening 31 and an inner cavity 42. A boss 43 is provided on the inner side of the inner cavity 42. A collection frame 30 is located in the inner cavity 42 and supported on the boss 43. The collection frame 30 is located below the extrusion hole 22, and the mixed and extruded paper cat litter falls into the cavity of the collection frame 30. A protrusion 36 is provided on the top of the shell 34, which is inserted into the opening 31 of the connecting part, allowing the pelleting structure 6 to be detachably connected to the basin 1. The connecting part has an installation opening 29, which has a ventilation plate 32 with ventilation holes 33, allowing the paper cat litter in the collection frame 30 to dry naturally.
[0046] After the paper cat litter is collected, the pelleting structure 6 is removed from the basin 1, and the collection frame 30 is then pressed downwards. The collection frame 30 is removed from the inner cavity 42 through the opening 31, and the paper cat litter in the collection frame 30 is poured into the cavity 2 through the cat inlet / outlet 3. This process can convert everyday waste paper into paper cat litter, which is lightweight, easy to process, environmentally friendly, and low-cost.
[0047] This invention enables the integrated processing of waste paper in a household setting, including immediate recycling, crushing, pulping, and molding, resulting in a superior user experience.
