Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pet supplies, and more specifically, to a litter box with a trash can. Background Technology

[0002] A litter box is mainly used as a toilet supply for pet cats, making it convenient to clean up after them. Therefore, a litter box is essential for pet owners.

[0003] Traditional litter boxes have a simple structure. Basically, a layer of cat litter is laid in the litter box, and the cat will dig out the litter to cover itself after each time it defecates or urinates. People need to clean it regularly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a litter box with a built-in trash can, which prevents the trash can from being knocked over when the cat comes out of the litter box after using the litter box, making it easy to clean. At the same time, users can use the litter box in a variety of ways according to their preferences and habits.

[0005] A litter box with a trash can includes a shell, the shell forming an entrance for a pet to enter, the shell including a bottom shell, a middle shell and a top shell that are detachably and fixedly connected from bottom to top, the bottom shell forming a receiving space for placing cat litter, the trash can being provided at the opening of the bottom shell, the trash can being built inside the bottom shell or connected to the outside of the bottom shell near the opening, the top shell having an open cavity, the bottom of the cavity having a first strip-shaped hole, and the opening of the cavity having a detachable top cover.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the internal space of the litter box is relatively large. Users can decide whether to use only the bottom shell and trash can, the bottom shell and middle shell and trash can, or the bottom shell, middle shell, and top shell and trash can. Different combinations of components can be made according to user habits, making it more flexible to use. At the same time, the trash can makes it less likely for the cat to knock it over when it comes out of the litter box after using the toilet, making it easier to clean. In addition, the structure of the top shell prevents cat hair from flying everywhere, further enhancing the ease of cleaning.

[0007] Preferably, the inlet is a rising wedge-shaped opening that gradually increases in size from the bottom shell to the top shell. The inlet is connected to an auxiliary cover plate, and the auxiliary cover plate is provided with an auxiliary inlet at the location of the inlet. The auxiliary cover plate is connected to a door panel that can close or open the auxiliary inlet.

[0008] Preferably, the door panel is hinged to the auxiliary cover plate, and the auxiliary cover plate is hinged to the top shell.

[0009] By adopting the above structure, the shell can be used in a variety of ways, and it is very convenient to use at the same time.

[0010] Preferably, when a trash can is provided in the accommodating space of the bottom shell, a fixed step is provided on the side of the trash can near the bottom shell, an outwardly turned edge is provided on the top of the bottom shell away from the trash can, an opening groove is provided on the side of the middle shell facing the bottom shell and one side wall is placed on the fixed step, the edge is placed in the opening groove of the middle shell, and an auxiliary fixing structure is provided between the trash can and the bottom shell. The auxiliary fixing structure includes a fixing part fixed between the top and the edge of the trash can and an inclined part that slopes downward from the fixing part toward the bottom of the bottom shell.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the trash can is provided with a trash cover, and the trash cover has a through hole to facilitate the falling of cat litter.

[0012] With the above structure, the trash can is very secure when fixed inside the bottom shell. It is also very easy to remove the trash can if you need to take it out to clean up the trash. At the same time, the design of the trash can cover allows cat litter or cat hair that the cat is carrying to fall into the trash can when it jumps out of the litter box.

[0013] Preferably, when the trash can is connected to the outside of the bottom shell, the trash can has an installation step on the side facing the bottom shell, and a positioning groove is formed between the installation step and the bottom shell. The bottom shell has an outwardly turned outer edge facing the installation step, and the outer edge is placed above the installation step. The middle shell abuts against the outer edge and has a middle shell flange embedded in the positioning groove.

[0014] Preferably, a second fixing structure is provided between the bottom shell and the middle shell.

[0028] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-8 The present invention will be further described below.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figure 1-4As shown, a cat litter box with a trash can 2 includes a shell 1. The shell 1 includes a bottom shell 11, a middle shell 121, and a top shell 13, which are detachably and fixedly connected from bottom to top. The bottom shell 11 forms a receiving space 110 for placing cat litter. The top of the bottom shell 11 is completely open. The middle shell 121 has a frame-like structure. The top shell 13 has a completely open opening facing the bottom shell 11, a top wall, and an open cavity 130. The bottom of the recessed portion 130 is provided with a first strip-shaped hole 1301, and the opening of the recessed portion 130 is provided with a detachable top cover 131. The top cover 131 is provided with a second strip-shaped hole 1310. The projections of the first strip-shaped hole 1301 and the second strip-shaped hole 1310 at the bottom do not coincide and are not parallel (the projections of the first strip-shaped hole 1301 and the second strip-shaped hole 1310 can also coincide or be parallel, but this may cause cat hair to fly out of the top cover 131 easily, so it is preferred that the two projections do not coincide or are not parallel).

[0031] The bottom shell 11, the middle shell 121, and the top shell 13 together form an entrance 14 for pets to enter. The entrance 14 is a rising wedge-shaped opening that gradually increases in size from the bottom shell 11 to the top shell. The entrance 14 is connected to an auxiliary cover plate 151. The auxiliary cover plate 151 is provided with an auxiliary entrance 150 corresponding to the entrance 14. The auxiliary cover plate 151 is connected to a door panel 16 that can close or open the auxiliary entrance 150.

[0032] The door panel 16 is hinged to the auxiliary cover plate 151, and the auxiliary cover plate 151 is hinged to the top housing 13 (it should be noted that the door panel 16 and the auxiliary cover plate 151 can also be snap-fitted together, and the auxiliary cover plate 151 and the top housing 13 can also be snap-fitted together; in short, it can be done for easy disassembly).

[0033] The bottom shell 11 has a trash can 2 at the open part, and the trash can 2 is built inside the bottom shell 11. The trash can 2 has a fixed step 24 on the side near the bottom shell 11. The top of the bottom shell 11 has an outwardly turned edge 112 facing away from the trash can 2. The middle shell 12 has an opening groove 122 on the side facing the bottom shell 11, and one side wall is placed on the fixed step 24. The edge 112 is placed in the opening groove 122 of the middle shell 12. An auxiliary fixing structure 3 is provided between the trash can 2 and the bottom shell 11. The auxiliary fixing structure 3 includes a fixing part 31 fixed between the top of the trash can 2 and the edge 111, and an inclined part 32 that slopes downward from the fixing part 31 toward the bottom of the bottom shell 11 (it should be noted that the auxiliary fixing structure 3 is preferably integrally formed).

[0034] The top of the trash can 2 is provided with a trash cover 21, and the trash cover 21 is provided with a cover hole 210 to facilitate the falling of cat litter.

[0035] By adopting the above structure, the trash can 2 is very firmly fixed inside the bottom shell 11. If it is necessary to take out the trash can 2 to clean up the trash, it is also very easy to take out the trash can 2. At the same time, the design of the trash can cover 21 also allows the cat litter or cat hair carried by the pet cat to fall into the trash can 2 when the pet cat jumps out of the litter box.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] like Figure 5-8 As shown, unlike Embodiment 1, the trash can 2 is connected to the outside of the bottom shell 11 and is close to the opening. The trash can 2 has an installation step 22 on the side facing the bottom shell 11, and a positioning groove 23 is formed between the installation step 22 and the bottom shell 11. The bottom shell 11 has an outwardly turned outer edge 112 facing the installation step 22. The outer edge 112 is placed above the installation step 22. The middle shell 121 abuts against the outer edge and has a middle shell flange 121 embedded in the positioning groove 23.

[0038] A second fixing structure 4 is provided between the bottom shell 11 and the middle shell 121. The second fixing structure 4 includes a second fixing part 41 that is fastened to the flange 121 of the middle shell and a second inclined part 42 that slopes downward from the second fixing part 41 toward the bottom of the bottom shell 11.

[0039] The top of the trash can 2 is provided with a trash cover plate 21, and the trash cover plate 21 is provided with a cover plate through hole 210 to facilitate the falling of cat litter. There is a locking structure between the trash cover plate 21 and the trash can 2, which can lock or unlock the two together (it should be noted that the locking structure can be an existing structure, such as setting a groove and a protrusion between the two, and by rotating, the groove and the protrusion can be engaged or disengaged to achieve mutual locking or unlocking. Alternatively, bolts and nuts can be used to fix or separate the two. Since this is not the core innovation of the present invention and there are many ways to implement it, it will not be described in detail here).

[0040] When the trash can 2 is fixed to the outside of the bottom shell 11, it can form a stable connection with the shell 1 and is not easy to be tipped over. If you need to take out the trash can 2 to clean up the trash, it is also very easy to take out the trash can 2. At the same time, the design of the trash can cover 21 also allows the cat litter or cat hair carried by the cat to fall into the trash can 2 when the cat jumps out of the litter box.

[0041] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
