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, a body assembly, and a 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] In existing technologies, to prevent pet excrement from directly contaminating the inside of the basin, a flexible pad is usually installed inside the basin to catch pet litter and excrement. However, the inventor discovered that the installation of the flexible pad inside the basin generally requires multiple screws and other locking devices to secure it. Therefore, during the installation process, the holes on the flexible pad must be perfectly aligned with the holes inside the basin before the flexible pad can be locked in place with screws, making the installation of the flexible pad quite cumbersome. In addition, after the flexible pad is installed inside the basin, there will still be some gaps between the flexible pad and the basin, and these gaps can easily allow pet urine to seep in, thus contaminating the basin itself. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to design a pet litter box body, a litter box assembly, and a pet litter box. This not only facilitates the installation of a flexible pad inside the litter box, but also improves the sealing performance of the flexible pad after it is installed inside the litter box. This effectively prevents pet excrement from contaminating the litter box and ensures the cleanliness of the litter box.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, embodiments of this utility model provide a pet litter box body, the body comprising:

[0006] Upper part; the upper part is provided with a accommodating space and an opening side that allows pets to enter the accommodating space;

[0007] The lower part is opposite to the upper part and is detachably connected to the upper part;

[0008] When the upper part and the lower part are connected, a locking position is formed between the upper part and the lower part, and the locking position is used to lock the support frame of the flexible pad, so that the flexible pad covers the side of the lower part relative to the upper part.

[0009] In addition, embodiments of this utility model provide a basin assembly, the basin assembly comprising:

[0010] The basin as described above;

[0011] A flexible pad; the flexible pad includes: a pad body and a support frame disposed circumferentially around the pad body;

[0012] The support frame is used to engage with the slot formed between the upper and lower parts of the basin, so that the pad body covers the side of the lower part relative to the upper part.

[0013] In addition, embodiments of this utility model provide a basin assembly, the basin assembly comprising:

[0014] The basin as described above;

[0015] A flexible pad; the flexible pad includes: a pad body and a support frame disposed circumferentially around the pad body;

[0016] The support frame is used to engage with the slot formed between the upper and lower parts of the basin, so that the pad body covers the side of the lower part relative to the upper part.

[0017] In addition, an embodiment of this utility model provides a pet litter box, comprising:

[0018] Base; the base has an accommodating space;

[0019] The basin assembly as described above; the basin is at least partially disposed within the receiving space of the base, and the basin is rotatable relative to the base.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model include an upper part and a lower part, which are detachably connected. After the upper and lower parts are connected, a locking position can be formed between them. This locking position can be used to lock the support frame of the flexible pad, so that the flexible pad can cover the side of the lower part relative to the upper part. By locking the support frame of the flexible pad with the locking position, the step of aligning the holes of the flexible pad can be eliminated, thereby facilitating the installation of the flexible pad on the basin.

[0029] 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.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] The first embodiment of this utility model relates to the body of a pet litter box, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the basin 1 includes an upper part 11 and a lower part 12. The upper part 11 has a accommodating space 13 and an opening side 15 for a pet to enter the accommodating space 13. The lower part 12 is opposite to the upper part 11 and is detachably connected to the upper part 11.

[0032] Among them, combined Figure 2 As shown, when the upper part 11 and the lower part 12 are connected, a locking position 14 is formed between the upper part 11 and the lower part 12, and the locking position 14 is used to lock the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2, so that the flexible pad 2 covers the side of the lower part 12 relative to the upper part 11.

[0033] As can be seen from the above, since the basin 1 includes an upper part 11 and a lower part 12, and the upper part 11 and the lower part 12 are detachably connected, and after the upper part 11 and the lower part 12 are connected, a locking position 14 can be formed between them. This locking position 14 can be used to lock the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2, so that the flexible pad 2 can cover the side of the lower part 12 relative to the upper part 11. By locking the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2 with the locking position 14, the hole alignment step of the flexible pad 2 can be eliminated, thereby facilitating the installation of the flexible pad 2 on the basin 1.

[0034] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the upper part 11 includes: an upper shell 111 opposite to the lower part 12, and an upper snap-fit ​​portion 112 disposed on the upper shell 111. The lower part 12 includes: a basin bottom 121 opposite to the upper part 11, and a lower snap-fit ​​portion 122 disposed on the basin bottom 121. Wherein, combined with... Figure 2 As shown, the upper shell 111 and the basin bottom 121 can be spliced ​​together, and when the upper shell 111 and the basin bottom 121 are spliced ​​together, a locking position 14 is formed between the upper locking part 112 and the lower locking part 122. This locking position 14 is used to lock the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2. Secondly, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper shell 111 includes: an inner side surface 1111 forming the accommodating space 13, an outer side surface 1112 opposite to the inner side surface 1111, and an upper splicing surface 1113 formed by horizontally extending from one end of the outer side surface 1112 away from the opening side 15 toward the accommodating space 13. Furthermore, corresponding to the upper splicing surface 1113, as... Figure 3 As shown, the basin bottom 121 includes: an inner surface 1211 that can be covered by a flexible pad 2, an outer surface 1212 opposite to the inner surface 1211, and a lower splicing surface 1213 formed by extending horizontally from the end of the outer surface 1212 toward the inner surface 1211. When the upper shell 111 and the basin bottom 121 are spliced ​​together, the upper splicing surface 1113 and the lower splicing surface 1213 can fit together, making the upper shell 111 and the basin bottom 121 a single unit.

[0035] Additionally, in other embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the upper shell 111 further includes a limiting surface 1114 extending vertically from one end of the upper splicing surface 1113 away from the outer side surface 1112 towards the opening side 15. Corresponding to the limiting surface 1114, the basin bottom 121 also includes a limiting portion 1214 partially protruding vertically from the lower splicing surface 1213. Furthermore, when the upper shell 111 and the basin bottom 121 are spliced ​​together, as... Figure 3As shown, the limiting surface 1114 can also be attached to the limiting part 1214. By attaching the limiting surface 1114 to the limiting part 1214, the splicing between the upper shell 111 and the basin bottom 121 can be limited, thereby enabling the rapid installation between the upper shell 111 and the basin bottom 121 and improving the installation efficiency between the upper shell 111 and the basin bottom 121.

[0036] Furthermore, in order to enable the locking position 14 formed between the upper locking portion 112 and the lower locking portion 122 to lock onto the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2, in some other embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper locking portion 112 is disposed on the limiting surface 1114 of the upper shell 111, and the upper locking portion 112 can extend in a direction away from the outer surface 1112. Simultaneously, the lower locking portion 122 can be disposed on the inner surface 1211 of the basin bottom 121, and the lower locking portion 122 can extend in a direction away from the outer surface 1212, thereby forming a locking position 14 between the upper portion 11 and the lower portion 12, through which the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2 can be locked. Furthermore, it is worth noting that, as... Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the locking position 14 can be used to simultaneously engage the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2 with the upper shell 111 and the basin bottom 121 after they are joined together. Alternatively, in other embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the slot 14 can also be formed naturally after the upper shell 111 and the basin bottom 121 are spliced ​​together, and then the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2 is inserted into the slot 14.

[0037] Specifically, when the upper shell 111 and the basin bottom 121 are naturally formed after being assembled, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper locking portion 112 includes at least one upper locking member 1121 disposed on the limiting surface 1114 of the upper shell 111, while the lower locking portion 122 includes at least one lower locking member 1221 disposed on the inner surface of the basin bottom 121. Furthermore, when one upper locking member 1121 is provided, the upper locking member 1121 can extend circumferentially around the limiting surface 1114 of the upper shell 111. When multiple upper locking members 1121 are provided, each upper locking member 1121 can be sequentially arranged circumferentially around the limiting surface 1114 of the upper shell 111. Similarly, as... Figure 3 As shown, when one lower clip 1221 is provided, the lower clip 1221 extends circumferentially around the inner surface 1211 of the basin bottom 121. When multiple lower clips 1221 are provided, each lower clip 1221 is arranged sequentially around the inner surface 1211 of the basin bottom 121.

[0038] Furthermore, it should be noted that after the upper shell 111 and the basin bottom 121 are joined together, at least one upper snap-fit ​​member 1121 and at least one lower snap-fit ​​member 1221 are separated to form a snap-fit ​​groove 141, and each snap-fit ​​groove 141 together constitutes a snap-fit ​​position 14. For example, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, both an upper latching member 1121 and a lower latching member 1221 are provided. The upper latching member 1121 extends circumferentially around the limiting surface 1114 of the upper shell 111, making it approximately a skirt-like structure protruding from the limiting surface 1114 of the upper shell 111. The lower latching member 1221 extends circumferentially around the inner surface 1211 of the basin bottom 121, making it approximately an annular protrusion protruding from the inner surface 1211 of the basin bottom 121. Therefore, when the upper shell 111... After being assembled with the basin bottom 121, a slot 141 can be formed between the upper snap-fit ​​part 1121 and the lower snap-fit ​​part 1221. The slot 141 is continuous and without breaks, so that the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2 can be inserted into the slot 141. Thus, the flexible pad 2 can be installed in the basin body 1. When the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2 is inserted into the slot 141, the entire flexible pad 2 can cover the inner surface 1211 of the basin bottom 121, so that the flexible pad 2 can effectively lay pet litter and collect pet excrement.

[0039] It is worth noting that the above-described upper snap-fit ​​connector 1121 and lower snap-fit ​​connector 1221 are only described with one example. In other embodiments, multiple upper snap-fit ​​connectors 1121 can be provided, and the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2 can be snapped and fixed by multiple upper snap-fit ​​connectors 1121 cooperating with one lower snap-fit ​​connector 1221. Alternatively, multiple lower snap-fit ​​connectors 1221 can be provided, and the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2 can be snapped and fixed by multiple lower snap-fit ​​connectors 1221 cooperating with one upper snap-fit ​​connector 1121. Alternatively, multiple upper snap-fit ​​connectors 1121 and multiple lower snap-fit ​​connectors 1221 can be provided. When this solution is adopted, as a preferred solution, the number of upper snap-fit ​​connectors 1121 and lower snap-fit ​​connectors 1221 can be exactly the same and uniquely correspond, and each upper snap-fit ​​connector 1121 can form a slot 141 with its uniquely corresponding lower snap-fit ​​connector 1221. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the upper snap-fit ​​connector 1121 and the lower snap-fit ​​connector 1221 can be increased or decreased according to the actual assembly requirements, and are not limited to the above scheme, which will not be described in detail here.

[0040] In other embodiments, when the locking position 14 is achieved by simultaneously connecting the upper shell 111 and the basin bottom 121 to the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2, then, as Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the upper latching portion 112 may include: a first latching wall 1122 and a second latching wall 1123. Wherein, as... Figure 6 As shown, the first snap-fit ​​wall 1122 is connected to the upper splicing surface 1113 of the upper shell 111, and gradually bends or extends obliquely towards the axis of the basin bottom 121 from the side connected to the upper splicing surface 1113 to the other side. The second snap-fit ​​wall 1123 extends from the end of the first snap-fit ​​wall 1122 away from the upper splicing surface 1113, in a direction away from the opening side 15. The first snap-fit ​​wall 1122 and the second snap-fit ​​wall 1123 are respectively used to cooperate with the lower snap-fit ​​part 122 to snap the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the support frame 21 includes: a first side portion 211 connected to the pad body 22 of the flexible pad 2, a second side portion 212 opposite to the first side portion 211, and a connecting portion 213 connecting the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212. The connecting portion 213 separates the first side portion 211 and the second side portion 212 to form a slot 214. The slot 214 can be used after the upper splicing surface 1113 and the lower splicing surface 1213 are spliced ​​together, and then inserted by the lower snap-fit ​​portion 122, so that the lower snap-fit ​​portion 122 can cooperate with the second snap-fit ​​wall 1123 to snap the first side portion 211 of the support frame 21. At the same time, the lower snap-fit ​​portion 122 can also cooperate with the first snap-fit ​​wall 1122 to snap the connecting portion 213 of the support frame 21.

[0042] Additionally, corresponding to the second side portion 212 of the lower latching portion 122, in other embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the basin bottom 121 can be recessed inward in a direction away from the upper part 11, so that part of the basin bottom 121 from the lower splicing surface 1213 to the axis of the basin bottom 121 is separated from the lower snap-fit ​​part 122, forming a snap-fit ​​area 123 for accommodating the second side part 212 of the support frame 21. Through the snap-fit ​​area 123, the lower snap-fit ​​part 122 can better cooperate with the upper snap-fit ​​part 112 to snap and fix the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2.

[0043] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, in some other embodiments, the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2 can be a flexible component as a whole. Thus, when the upper shell 111 and the basin bottom 121 are spliced ​​together, the upper snap-fit ​​part 112 and the lower snap-fit ​​part 122 can not only achieve snap-fit ​​fixation of the support frame 21, but also, since the support frame 21 is a flexible component as a whole, a flexible seal can be formed between the support frame 21 and the lower snap-fit ​​part 122 and the upper snap-fit ​​part 112 respectively. This not only facilitates the installation of the flexible pad 2 in the basin 1, but also ensures the sealing performance of the upper shell 111 and the basin bottom 121 after splicing, effectively preventing pet excrement and / or other dirt from contaminating the basin 1 and ensuring the cleanliness of the basin 1.

[0044] Finally, it is worth noting that, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the outer surface 1212 of the basin bottom 121 can be an arc surface, which allows the basin body 1 to rotate around the pivot axis. That is, after the basin body 1 is installed with the base 3 of the pet litter box, the basin body 1 can rotate relative to the base 3 around the pivot axis. Furthermore, the vertical distance from any point on the arc surface to the pivot axis is equal, thereby ensuring that the basin body 1, when rotated relative to the base 3, is in good working order. Figure 8 As shown, the basin 1 will not interfere with the base 3, and the basin 1 has a large flipping angle.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] Embodiment 2 of this utility model relates to a basin assembly, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the basin assembly includes a basin 1 as described in Embodiment 1 and a flexible pad 2.

[0047] Among them, such as Figure 7 As shown, the flexible pad 2 includes: a pad body 22 and a support frame 21 arranged circumferentially around the pad body 22. Furthermore, combined with... Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 21 is used to engage with the locking position 14 formed between the upper part 11 and the lower part 12 of the basin 1, and after the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2 is engaged in the basin 1, the pad body 21 of the flexible pad 2 can cover the side of the lower part 12 relative to the upper part 11.

[0048] As can be seen from the above, since the basin 1 includes an upper part 11 and a lower part 12, and the upper part 11 and the lower part 12 are detachably connected, and after the upper part 11 and the lower part 12 are connected, a locking position 14 can be formed between them. This locking position 14 can be used to lock the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2, so that the flexible pad 2 can cover the side of the lower part 12 relative to the upper part 11. By locking the support frame 21 of the flexible pad 2 with the locking position 14, the hole alignment step of the flexible pad can be eliminated, thereby facilitating the installation of the flexible pad 2 on the basin 1.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] Embodiment 3 of this utility model relates to a pet litter box, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the assembly includes a base 3 and a basin assembly as described in Embodiment 2. The base 3 has a receiving space (not shown in the figure), and the basin 1 is at least partially disposed within the receiving space of the base 3, and the basin 1 is rotatable relative to the base 3. By rotating the basin 1 relative to the base 3, the basin 1 can perform the emptying action of waste and / or excrement.

[0051] Additionally, it is worth mentioning that in some other embodiments, such as Figure 8As shown, the pet litter box also includes a waste collection device 4 detachably disposed at the bottom of the base 3, which can collect waste and / or excrement poured out from the litter box 1.

[0052] 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.
