Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this utility model belong to the field of pet supplies, and specifically relate to a pet litter box body, base, and pet litter box. Background Technology

[0002] As people's material living standards continue to improve, their demands for spiritual life are also gradually increasing, leading to a growing number of people who enjoy keeping pet cats and dogs. Many cat and dog lovers adore their pets and have even purchased dedicated pet cabins for them. Most existing cat litter boxes are now smart litter boxes, which have greatly simplified the lives of cat owners, allowing them to pet their cats without having to clean up litter.

[0003] To enhance their intelligence and practicality, smart litter boxes typically incorporate various electrical components, such as odor control, lighting, and detection modules. However, to ensure stable data transmission between these modules and the main control module, they are usually mounted on the base, allowing direct electrical connection. This base mounting, however, leads to less than ideal user experience. For instance, the detection module often uses a weight sensor to weigh the litter box, enabling the main control module to determine if a pet has entered. But since cats and dogs sometimes simply cling to the litter box without actually entering, this can cause the main control module to misjudge the situation. Therefore, a more reasonable approach is to place these modules directly inside the litter box. However, since the litter box needs to be cleaned frequently, the connection between the litter box and the base is detachable. As a result, the main control module cannot directly establish an electrical connection with these electrical components. In particular, some litter boxes have a flip function to achieve the purpose of scooping litter and returning litter. Therefore, when the electrical components are placed on the litter box, how to establish stable communication between these electrical components and the main control module is the problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to design a pet litter box body, a base, and a pet litter box. After the body and base are connected, the electrical components on the base can establish stable communication with the main control module, thereby ensuring the stability of data and signal transmission between the main control module and the electrical components.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of this utility model provide a litter box body, the body being disposed on a base of the litter box, and a first electrical connection portion being disposed on the body. The first electrical connection portion is electrically connected to at least one electrical component on the body, and the first electrical connection portion is also used to electrically conduct with a second electrical connection portion on the base when the body is installed on the base, so that electrical energy can be transmitted between the first electrical connection portion and the second electrical connection portion.

[0006] In addition, some embodiments of this utility model also provide a base for a pet litter box, the base having a receiving space for storing at least part of the box body as described above, and the base being detachably connected to the box body.

[0007] The base is provided with a second electrical connection part that is electrically connected to the main control module of the pet litter box. The second electrical connection part is used to electrically conduct with the first electrical connection part on the litter box when the litter box is installed in the accommodating space, so that electrical energy can be transmitted between the first electrical connection part and the second electrical connection part.

[0008] In addition, some embodiments of this utility model also provide a pet litter box, which includes:

[0009] The base as described above;

[0010] The basin described above is at least partially disposed within the receiving space of the base and is rotatable relative to the base;

[0011] The main control module is electrically connected to the second electrical connection part;

[0012] The main control module is used to communicate with at least one electrical component on the basin body through the second electrical connection and the first electrical connection.

[0013] Compared to the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model, due to the provision of a first electrical connection part on the basin body, and the first electrical connection part being electrically connected to at least one electrical component on the basin body, and the first electrical connection part also being electrically connected to a second electrical connection part on the base when the basin body is installed on the pet litter box base, allows electrical energy to be transmitted between the first and second electrical connection parts. This ensures that the main control module electrically connected to the second electrical connection part can transmit data and signals between the various electrical components electrically connected to the first electrical connection part. In other words, it realizes the access of electrical energy to the various electrical components in the basin body and ensures the stability of data and signal transmission between the main control module and the various electrical components. Ultimately, it achieves direct and accurate monitoring and detection of the situation inside the basin. Compared to the indirect measurement method of the prior art, directly setting detection elements inside the basin to detect / monitor everything inside the basin is simpler and more accurate.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the various embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, those skilled in the art will understand that many technical details have been presented in the various embodiments of this utility model to enable the reader to better understand this application. However, the technical solutions claimed in this application can be implemented even without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] The first embodiment of this utility model relates to a basin, such as Figure 2 As shown, the basin 1 is mounted on the base 2 of the pet litter box, and, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a first electrical connection part 16 is provided on the basin body 1, and the first electrical connection part 16 is electrically connected to at least one electrical component 3 on the basin body 1.

[0023] Secondly, combining Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first electrical connection part 16 is also used to electrically connect with the second electrical connection part 26 on the base 2 when the basin 1 is installed on the base 2, so that electrical energy can be transmitted between the first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26, that is, to transmit electrical energy to the basin and make the basin connected to electricity.

[0024] As can be seen from the above, because the basin 1 is provided with a first electrical connection part 16, and the first electrical connection part 16 is electrically connected to at least one electrical component 3 on the basin 1, and the first electrical connection part 16 can also be electrically connected to the second electrical connection part 26 on the base 2 when the basin 1 is installed on the pet litter box, so that electrical energy can be transmitted between the first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26. This ensures that the main control module 4, which is electrically connected to the second electrical connection part 26, can realize the transmission of data and signals between the electrical components 3, which are electrically connected to the first electrical connection part 16, and ensures the stability of the data and signal transmission between the main control module 4 and the electrical components 3. In this way, various functional modules can be directly set on the basin 1 for detecting / monitoring everything in the basin, such as a detection module for detecting the thickness of cat litter in the basin, a pet identification module for identifying pets entering the basin, a camera module for recording the pet's activities in the basin, etc. Compared with the existing technology that uses various indirect methods to detect / monitor the situation in the basin, the technology of this invention is simpler and more accurate.

[0025] Specifically, in order to achieve the electrical connection between the first electrical connection portion 16 and the second electrical connection portion 26, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first electrical connection part 16 is an electrical connector provided on the basin 1, and this electrical connector is used to mate with the second electrical connection part 26 on the base 2 and to be electrically connected with the second electrical connection part 26. For example, the electrical connector can be a male or a female connector, and when the electrical connector is a male connector, the second electrical connection part 26 can be a female connector, and when the electrical connector is a female connector, the second electrical connection part 26 can be a male connector, thereby facilitating the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26, so that the main control module 4 can realize signal and / or data transmission with the electrical component 3 through the first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26. It should be noted that the first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26 described above are only exemplified as male and female connectors. In other embodiments, the first electrical connection part 16 and the first electrical connection part 26 may also use other electrical connection components, such as carbon brush connection, ball bearing connection, etc. In this embodiment, the structure and type of the first electrical connection part 16 and the first electrical connection part 26 are not specifically limited. However, compared with carbon brush connection or ball bearing connection, the electrical connector (male and female connector) method is more stable and reliable, and less prone to wear, which is beneficial for long-term use.

[0026] Additionally, it is worth mentioning that in some embodiments, the combination Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the basin 1 includes a basin bottom 11, a basin top 12, and side walls 13. The basin top 12 and basin bottom 11 are positioned opposite each other. The side walls 13 are connected to both the basin bottom 11 and basin top 12, forming a toilet space 14 between the basin bottom 11 and basin top 12, allowing pets to enter. Additionally, combined with... Figure 3 As shown, the sidewall 13 has an inner side 131 disposed on the side opposite to the toilet space 14 and an outer side 132 disposed on the side away from the toilet space 14, and the electrical component 3 can be disposed on the sidewall 13 and / or the bottom 11 of the basin body 1. For example, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each electrical component 3 can be a detection element for detecting whether a pet has entered or left the basin 1. This detection element can be any one of an infrared sensor, photoelectric sensor, proximity sensor, or thermoelectric detector. Of course, in other embodiments, the electrical component 3 can be other components besides detection elements. For example, the electrical component 3 can also be a monitoring module for real-time detection of pet excretion in the basin 1, or an interactive module for interacting with the pet. However, in this embodiment, the type of each electrical component 3 is not specifically limited.

[0027] In other embodiments, after the basin 1 is installed with the base 2, in order to allow the basin 1 to be flipped relative to the base 2, thereby completing the emptying of excrement and / or waste and the laying of pet litter within the basin 1, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the side wall 13 of the basin body 1 is also provided with a fixing part 15, and corresponding to the fixing part 15, such as Figure 6 As shown, the base 2 is equipped with a rotating part 25. Simultaneously, combined with... Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the first electrical connection part 16 can be disposed on the fixed part 15, while the second electrical connection part 26 can be disposed on the rotating part 25 of the base 2. The fixed part 15, when the basin 1 is installed inside the base 2, can be spliced ​​with the rotating part 25 on the base 2 to form a pivot shaft for the basin 1 to rotate. The first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26 can be connected after the fixed part 15 and the rotating part 25 are spliced ​​together, thereby allowing the basin 1 to rotate relative to the base 2 while ensuring the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26. Furthermore, in some embodiments, a wiring channel (not shown in the figure) is formed between the inner side 131 and the outer side 132 of the sidewall 13. This wiring channel is used for the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part 16 and each electrical component 3. It is easy to see that, since the side wall 13 of the basin 1 is provided with a fixing part 15, and the fixing part 15 is connected to the rotating part 25 on the base 2, the basin 1 can be rotated relative to the base 2, and the first electrical connection part 16 can be electrically connected to the second electrical connection 26 on the rotating part 25, so as to ensure the stability of data and signal transmission between the main control module 4 and each electrical component 3.

[0028] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixing part 15 includes: a convex shaft 151 disposed on the outer side 132 of the side wall 13, and a first half-shaft 152 protruding from the convex shaft 151 to the side away from the outer side 132. The side of the first half-shaft 152 opposite to the rotating part 25 is a first mounting side 1521, and a first electrical connection part 16 is disposed on the first mounting side 1521 of the first half-shaft 152. Thus, when the fixing part 15 is connected to the rotating part 25 on the base 2, the rotating part 25 can be restrained by the fixing part 15 and rotate together with the basin 1. At this time, the fixing part 15 and the rotating part 25 can together form a pivot shaft that can flip the basin 1, so that the basin 1 can be flipped relative to the base 2 under the action of the pivot shaft. In addition, when the fixing part 15 is connected to the rotating part 25, data and signal transmission can be realized between the main control module 4 and each electrical component 3 through the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26.

[0029] Additionally, as a preferred embodiment, in other embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a guide mounting groove 153 is also provided on the first mounting side 1521 of the first half-shaft 152. Simultaneously, the first electrical connection part 16 can be disposed within the guide mounting groove 153, while the second electrical connection part 16 can be disposed on the rotating part 25. Furthermore, the guide mounting groove 153 is also used for insertion of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 251 of the rotating part 25, thereby enabling the first half-shaft 152 and the rotating part 25 to together form a pivot shaft for the rotation of the basin 1. Moreover, when the snap-fit ​​protrusion 251 of the rotating part 25 is inserted into the guide mounting groove 153, the first electrical connection part 16 can also engage with the second electrical connection part 26, thereby achieving electrical conduction between the first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26. Specifically, when the basin 1 is inserted downwards into the base 2, before the first electrical connection part 16, i.e. the electrical connector, contacts the second electrical connection part 26 on the base 2, the guide mounting groove 153 on the basin 1 and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 251 on the base 2 first contact and snap-fit ​​into position, realizing the pre-positioning of the first connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part before insertion, and realizing the smooth insertion of the first connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26, avoiding multiple misalignments, failure to insert, and damage to the first connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26. Because the entire insertion process of the basin 1 into the base 2 cannot be seen directly, it can only be blindly installed. Without the pre-positioning of the guide mounting groove 153 and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 251, it is difficult to achieve accurate installation of the two electrical connection parts in one go. In addition, through the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 251 and the guide mounting groove 153, when the basin 1 is flipped relative to the base 2, the guide mounting groove 153 and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 251 can share most of the torque and shear force generated by the basin 1 when it is flipped, thereby reducing the torque borne by the first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26, thus protecting the first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26 and preventing damage or breakage of the first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26.

[0030] Furthermore, it is worth noting that since the fixing part 15, together with the rotating part 25, forms a pivot axis for the flipping of the basin 1, the structure of the rotating part 25 corresponding to the first half-shaft 152 is as follows: Figure 6As shown, the rotating part 25 may also include a second half-shaft 252, and the snap-fit ​​protrusion 251 may be formed by the second half-shaft 252 protruding partially from one side relative to the first half-shaft 152, so that when the snap-fit ​​protrusion 251 is inserted into the guide mounting groove 153 of the first half-shaft 152, the first half-shaft 152 and the second half-shaft 252 together constitute a pivot shaft. Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the first half-shaft 152 and the second half-shaft 252 are of equal size, so that the splicing part of the first half-shaft 152 and the second half-shaft 252 can have the same area. Thus, when the basin 1 is flipped, the torque and shear force generated by the pivot shaft can be evenly distributed on the first half-shaft 152 and the second half-shaft 252. That is, the forces on the first half-shaft 152 and the second half-shaft 252 are basically the same, and the corresponding forces will not be concentrated on the first half-shaft 152 or the second half-shaft 252. Thus, while realizing the flipping of the basin 1, it can also provide a certain degree of protection for the first half-shaft 152 and the second half-shaft 252, avoiding deformation, breakage, or other phenomena of the first half-shaft 152 and / or the second half-shaft 252.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Embodiment 2 of this utility model relates to a base for a pet litter box, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the base 2 has a receiving space 21, and the receiving space 21 is used to store at least a portion of the basin 1 as described in Embodiment 1, and as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base 2 is also detachably connected to the basin 1.

[0033] In addition, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the base 2 is provided with a second electrical connection part 26 that is electrically connected to the main control module 4 of the pet litter box. The second electrical connection part 26 is used to electrically connect with the first electrical connection part 16 on the litter box 1 when the litter box 1 is installed in the accommodating space 21, so that electrical energy is transmitted between the first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26.

[0034] As can be seen from the above, since the base 2 is provided with a second electrical connection part 26, and the second electrical connection part 26 can be electrically connected to the main control module 4 on the basin 1, and at the same time, when the basin 1 is installed on the base 2 of the pet litter box, the second electrical connection part 26 can also be electrically connected to the first electrical connection part 16 on the basin 1, so that electrical energy can be transmitted between the first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26. This ensures that the main control module 4, which is electrically connected to the second electrical connection part 26, and the various electrical components 3, which are electrically connected to the first electrical connection part 16, can realize the transmission of data and signals, and ensures the stability of data and signal transmission between the main control module 4 and the various electrical components 3.

[0035] Furthermore, it is not difficult to see from the above embodiment 1 that, since the first electrical connection part 16 is an electrical connector, in some embodiments, corresponding to the electrical connector, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second electrical connection part 26 is an electrical socket provided on the base 2, so that when the basin 1 is installed on the base 2, the electrical socket can be plugged into the electrical connector. For example, when the first electrical connection part 16 is a male connector, the second electrical connection part 26 can be a female connector. The stability of the electrical connection between the first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26 can be ensured by the mutual plugging of the male and female connectors.

[0036] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the base 2 includes: a bottom 22, a side portion 23 surrounding the bottom 22, and a fixing seat 27 disposed on the side portion 23. In addition, the fixing seat 27 may also be rotatably provided with a rotating part 25, and the side portion 23 forms an accommodating space 21 on the bottom 22 for accommodating part of the basin 1. At the same time, the rotating part 25 is used to form a pivot axis for the basin 1 to be rotated by splicing with the fixing part 15 of the basin 1 when the basin 1 is installed on the base 2.

[0037] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the fixed base 27 is also provided with a receiving groove 271, and the rotating part 25 is rotatably disposed in the receiving groove 271. Simultaneously, combined with... Figure 1 As shown, the second electrical connection part 26 is disposed on the rotating part 25, so that when the rotating part 25 and the fixed part 15 are spliced ​​together, the second electrical connection part 26 can be connected with the first electrical connection part 16, thereby enabling the main control module 4 to achieve stable data and / or signal transmission with each electrical component 3.

[0038] Furthermore, it is not difficult to see from the solution in the above embodiment one that, as Figure 4 As shown, a guide mounting groove 153 is provided on the first half-shaft 152 of the fixing part 15. Therefore, corresponding to the guide mounting groove 153, combined with... Figure 6 As shown, the rotating part 25 includes a second half-shaft 252 and a snap-fit ​​protrusion 251. The second half-shaft 252 is rotatably disposed within the receiving groove 271 of the fixing base 27, and the side of the second half-shaft 252 opposite to the fixing part 15 is the second mounting side 2521. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 251 is formed by the second mounting side 2521 of the second half-shaft 252 protruding from it, and this snap-fit ​​protrusion 251 can be inserted into the guide mounting groove 153 of the fixing part 15, so that the second half-shaft 252, together with the first half-shaft 152 of the fixing part 15, forms a pivot shaft for the rotation of the basin 1.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to enable the second electrical connection portion 26 on the rotating part 25 to mate with the first electrical connection portion 16 on the fixed part 15, in other embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the second electrical connection part 26 is disposed within the rotating part 25, and simultaneously, combined with Figure 6 As shown, a slot 253 is provided on the side of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 251 away from the second mounting side 2521, and the slot 253 allows the second electrical connection part 26 to mate with the first electrical connection part 16. Furthermore, corresponding to the slot 253, in some embodiments, the base 2 also includes a flexible seal (not shown in the figure), which can be used to seal the slot 253. Simultaneously, the flexible seal has an opening (not shown in the figure) for the first electrical connection part 16 to be inserted into the slot 253. Therefore, after the rotating part 25 and the fixing part 15 are joined, the first electrical connection part 16 can pass through the opening on the flexible seal and enter the slot 253, thereby mate with the second electrical connection part 26. Meanwhile, the flexible seal can ensure the sealing performance of the second electrical connection 26 and the first electrical connection 16 when they are connected, and prevent water, water vapor, dust and other media in the external environment from entering the slot 253 and causing corrosion to the first electrical connection 16 and the second electrical connection 26, so that the power transmission between the first electrical connection 16 and the second electrical connection 26 is more stable and reliable.

[0040] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, in other embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the base 2 also includes a first magnetic component (not shown) and a second magnetic component (not shown). The first magnetic component is disposed in the receiving groove 271 of the fixed base 27, while the second magnetic component is disposed on the rotating part 25. The second magnetic component has the opposite polarity to the first magnetic component and is used to magnetically attract and engage with the first magnetic component to position the rotating part 25 in a preset position. It is easy to see that through the magnetic attraction between the first and second magnetic components, the rotating part 25 can always be positioned in the preset position. For example, the preset position is when the slot 253 on the rotating part 25 is exactly aligned with the opening of the receiving groove 271. Thus, when the fixed part 15 and the rotating part 25 are spliced, it can be ensured that the second electrical connection part 26 and the first electrical connection part 16 can be successfully connected in one go, avoiding misalignment when the second electrical connection part 26 and the first electrical connection part 16 are connected, reducing the difficulty of the insertion process, and achieving one-time insertion.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] Embodiment 3 of this utility model relates to a pet litter box, such as... Figure 1 , Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the pet litter box includes: a litter box 1 as described in Embodiment 1, a base 2 as described in Embodiment 2, and a main control module 4.

[0043] Among them, combined Figure 5 As shown, the main control module 4 is used to communicate with at least one electrical component on the basin 1 through the second electrical connection part 26 and the first electrical connection part 16.

[0044] As can be seen from the above, since the basin 1 is provided with a first electrical connection part 16 and the base 2 is provided with a second electrical connection part 26, and the first electrical connection part 16 is electrically connected to at least one electrical component 3 on the basin 1, while the second electrical connection part is electrically connected to the main control module 4, the first electrical connection part 16 can also be electrically connected to the second electrical connection part 26 on the base 2 when the basin 1 is installed on the base 2 of the pet litter box, so that electrical energy can be transmitted between the first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26. This ensures that the main control module 4 can realize the transmission of data and signals with each electrical component 3 through the first electrical connection part 16 and the second electrical connection part 26, and ensures the stability of the data and signal transmission between the main control module 4 and each electrical component 3.

[0045] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments are specific implementations of the present invention, and in practical applications, various changes can be made to them in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
