Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet cage technology, specifically to a stainless steel pet cage that is easy to assemble and disassemble. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for pet care, pet cages, as an essential facility for pets' lives, are receiving more and more attention for their ease of use and functionality. Currently, most pet cages on the market are relatively easy to assemble and disassemble, and most can be assembled or disassembled without the need for complicated tools, meeting users' basic needs for moving and storing pet cages.

[0003] However, existing pet cages' waste collection devices have significant flaws in their connection and fixation to the cage body. Some collection devices use a direct placement or simple pull-out method without any locking mechanism, resulting in extremely poor stability. When pets move or jump inside the cage, the collection device is prone to shifting, shaking, or even slipping off, causing waste spillage and environmental pollution. The sudden movement of the device can also frighten the pet, affecting its sense of security. Other collection devices, while having locking mechanisms, rely heavily on bolts and other fasteners for fixation. While this ensures stability, it makes installation and removal extremely inconvenient. Users need tools to loosen the bolts to remove the device for cleaning, and then retighten them afterward. This process is time-consuming and laborious, especially for users who need to clean the collection device frequently. This design severely reduces operational efficiency and negatively impacts the user experience.

[0004] More importantly, these collection devices generally lack effective dry and wet separation functions, resulting in long-term mixing of feces and urine. This not only significantly increases the difficulty and frequency of cleaning but also easily breeds bacteria within the collection device, producing unpleasant odors and seriously affecting the quality of the pet's living environment, posing a potential threat to the pet's health. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stainless steel pet cage that is easy to assemble and disassemble, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a stainless steel pet cage that is easy to assemble and disassemble, comprising a housing, and further comprising:

[0007] A dry and wet manure collection device is installed at the bottom of the box using a wedge-shaped quick-release mechanism. The manure collection device includes a baffle. The top of the baffle is fixedly connected to a slide rail that is used in conjunction with the box. A ball-cone wedge buckle is provided on one side of the baffle. A dry manure collection plate and a liquid guide plate are fixedly connected inside the baffle. A liquid storage device fixed with a spring is installed on one side of the liquid guide plate.

[0008] Preferably, the housing includes two support plates, with a folding plate rotatably connected between the two support plates by a hinge. A spring locking pin is provided on one side of the folding plate. A rotating top plate is rotatably connected to the top of one of the support plates by a hinge. A rotatable metal door is provided inside the other support plate. The bottom of the metal door is rotatably connected to the inside of the support plate via a pivot. Two spring locking pins are provided on the top of the metal door. A sliding bottom plate is slidably connected between the folding plates. The outer wall of the sliding bottom plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate. A slide rail is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding bottom plate. Threaded wedge lock assemblies are provided on both sides of one of the support plates.

[0009] Preferably, the liquid storage device includes a transparent liquid storage box, an inlet is provided at the contact point between the transparent liquid storage box and the liquid guide plate, a spring locking member is provided on the top of the transparent liquid storage box, and a rubber stopper is slidably connected to one side of the transparent liquid storage box.

[0010] Preferably, the spring locking pin includes a fixed base, the fixed base has a sliding groove inside, a spring is fixedly connected inside the sliding groove, a locking rod is fixedly connected to one end of the spring, the locking rod is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding groove, and a locking port is provided on one side of the fixed base.

[0011] Preferably, the threaded wedge lock assembly includes a first wedge post, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate. A second wedge post is slidably connected to the wedge surface of the first wedge post, which is also slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate. One end of the first wedge post is threadedly connected to a threaded shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the ball-cone wedge buckle includes a horizontal wedge buckle, one end of which is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle. A vertical wedge buckle is slidably connected to the wedge surface of the horizontal wedge buckle. A conical column is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical wedge buckle. A small ball is slidably connected to one side of the top of the conical column. One side of the small ball is embedded in the interior of the locking hole. The locking hole is opened inside the locking column. A wedge cover is fixedly connected to the outer side of the locking column. A limit rod is slidably connected to the interior of the top of the locking column. One end of the limit rod is fixedly connected to the top of the conical column. The wedge cover and the side of the locking column are both fixedly connected to the interior of the sliding base plate.

[0013] Preferably, the spring locking component includes a locking head, one end of which is fixedly connected to the top of the transparent liquid storage box. The locking head is engaged with the inside of the spring lock body. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the rotating parts at the bottom of the spring lock body. The two ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the inside of the base plate. The top of the base plate is fixedly connected to the spring part of the spring lock body.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention enables the rapid assembly of a stainless steel pet cage by adjusting the sliding base plate, rotating base plate, and folding plate. A dry / wet separation waste collection device is installed on the sliding base plate. The waste collection system utilizes a ball-cone wedge locking structure. In the locked state, the ball, cone surface, and locking hole form a stable equilibrium, effectively preventing the waste collection box from shifting, shaking, or slipping due to pet jumping or collisions. Unlike traditional methods that rely on bolts and tools for assembly and disassembly, the ball-cone wedge lock allows for quick, manual operation. During installation, the user aligns the waste collection box with the cage's mounting position and gently pushes; the ball automatically engages and locks under the action of the cone surface. For disassembly, only a force in a specific direction is needed to separate the ball from the cone surface, easily removing the waste collection box. Combined with a top sliding rail design, the waste collection box moves along a precise guide trajectory during extraction, preventing jamming or offset. Even with frequent cleaning, users can complete the installation and disassembly of the waste collection box in a short time, significantly improving operational efficiency. By cleverly designing the internal flow ramp and collection chamber of the feces collection box, solid feces slide down the ramp to the dry feces collection area using gravity, while liquids such as urine flow into a separate transparent liquid storage box through a guide channel. This achieves precise separation of excrement, avoiding bacterial growth and odor problems caused by feces and urine mixing, reducing cleaning difficulty and frequency, and creating a dry and clean living space for pets. Furthermore, the liquid collection box is designed to be detachable. During daily use, when the liquid level is close to its maximum capacity, users do not need to disassemble the entire feces collection box; they only need to pull out the liquid collection box for emptying and cleaning, significantly reducing cleaning workload and time costs.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-7As shown, the stainless steel pet cage, which is easy to assemble and disassemble, includes a housing 1. The housing 1 includes two support plates 11, and a folding plate 12 is rotatably connected between the two support plates 11 by a hinge. A spring locking pin 13 is provided on one side of the folding plate 12. The spring locking pin 13 includes a fixing seat 131, and a sliding groove 132 is opened inside the fixing seat 131. A spring 133 is fixedly connected inside the sliding groove 132. A locking rod 134 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 133. The locking rod 134 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding groove 132. A locking slot is opened on one side of the fixing seat 131. 135, one of the support plates 11 has a rotating top plate 14 connected by a hinge at its top, and the other support plate 11 has a rotatable metal door 15 inside. The bottom of the metal door 15 is rotatably connected to the inside of the support plate 11 via a pivot, and the top of the metal door 15 has two spring locking pins 13. It should be noted that the fixing seat 131 of the spring locking pin 13 is divided into two parts, both of which have sliding grooves 132. The fixing seat 131 with the spring has an additional opening for cooperating with the pulling of the locking rod 134. The locking rod 134 is T-shaped, and is used by pulling the short handle. The long rod compresses the spring, which can engage the short handle into the locking slot 135 to unlock the device. At this time, the spring 133 is in a compressed state. To lock the device, the short handle is removed from the locking slot 135, and the long rod moves along the sliding groove 132 under the action of the spring force, moving from the inside of the fixed seat 131 on one side to the inside of the fixed seat 131 on the other side to lock the device. The support plate 11 is rotatably connected to the folding plate 12 via a hinge. The folding plates 12 on the same side are also connected by hinges. After unfolding, the short rod of the locking rod 134 of the spring locking pin 13 is moved from the locking slot 135. In addition, the locking rod 134 is moved from the inside of the fixed seat 131 on one side to the inside of the fixed seat 131 on the other side to achieve locking, and the folding plate 12 is fixed to the support plate 11 to form a rigid frame; the rotating top plate 14 is connected to the top of the support plate 11 by a hinge, providing top operating space when open, and is positioned by spring locking pin 13 when closed; the bottom of the metal door 15 is rotatably connected to the support plate 11 by a pivot, and the top is locked by two spring locking pins 13 to form an openable and closable side passage. The spring force of the locking pins ensures that the door fits tightly when closed to prevent pets from escaping.

[0026] It also includes: a dry and wet separation manure collection device 2 installed at the bottom of the box 1 using a wedge-shaped quick-release mechanism. The manure collection device 2 includes a baffle 21, the top of which is fixedly connected to a slide rail 22 for use with the box 1. Specifically, the sliding bottom plate 16 has a groove inside that matches the slide rail 22, while the folding plate 12 and the support plate 11 have grooves inside that match the sliding bottom plate 16. Threaded wedge locking assemblies 17 are provided on both sides of one of the support plates 11. It should be noted that circular sliders are provided on the sides at both ends of the sliding bottom plate 16. The groove opening at this end of the support plate 11 with the threaded wedge locking assembly 17 fits the size of the slider and is rounded. Therefore, after the sliding bottom plate 16 is unlocked, it can be completely removed from the box 1 for cleaning. After the sliding bottom plate 16 is removed, the support plate 11 can be rotated on the circular slider at the other end using the rounded groove to achieve folding. At the same time, this support plate 11... The upper end of the device has a groove to match the size of the slider, which can be locked in place when the box 1 is folded, ensuring that the folded metal cage does not move during transportation. The slide rail 22 of the manure collection device 2 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding bottom plate 16 of the box 1, providing a horizontal guide track for the manure collection device 2 and ensuring that there is no deviation or jamming during the pulling process. The outer wall of the sliding bottom plate 16 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 11, so that the bottom plate can move synchronously with the manure collection device 2. At the same time, the bottom plate is fastened to the support plate 11 by the threaded wedge lock assembly 17 to prevent shaking during use. It should be noted that during use, the user can either pull out the sliding bottom plate 16 together with the manure collection device 2 for cleaning, or pull out the manure collection device 2 separately for cleaning, to meet the cleaning needs of different pets. It should also be noted that openings for easy pulling are provided on the sides of the sliding bottom plate 16, the manure collection device 2, the liquid storage device 3, and the rubber stopper 34.

[0027] A ball-and-cone wedge buckle 23 is provided on one side of the baffle 21. A dry manure collection plate 24 and a liquid guide plate 25 are fixedly connected inside the baffle 21. A liquid storage device 3, secured by a spring, is installed on one side of the liquid guide plate 25. The liquid storage device 3 includes a transparent liquid storage box 31. An inlet 32 ​​is provided where the transparent liquid storage box 31 contacts the liquid guide plate 25. A spring locking member 33 is provided on the top of the transparent liquid storage box 31. The spring locking member 33 includes a locking head 331. One end of the locking head 331 is fixedly connected to the top of the transparent liquid storage box 31, and the locking head 331 is engaged inside the spring lock body 332. A rotating shaft 333 is rotatably connected between the rotating parts at the bottom of the base plate 334. The two ends of the rotating shaft 333 are rotatably connected to the inside of the base plate 334. The top of the base plate 334 is fixedly connected to the spring part of the spring lock body 332. A rubber stopper 34 is slidably connected to one side of the transparent liquid storage box 31. A dry feces collection plate 24 is set with an inclined design to receive solid excrement. At the same time, small holes are evenly distributed on the top of the dry feces collection plate 24 to ensure that the feces are intercepted on the plate surface, while liquids such as urine can flow down quickly through the small holes into the liquid guide plate 25 below. The liquid guide plate 25 has a larger inclination angle to guide the flow of liquids such as urine to... The liquid inlet 32 ​​of the liquid storage device 3 achieves solid-liquid separation. The transparent liquid storage box 31 of the liquid storage device 3 is fixed to the side of the liquid guide plate 25 by the spring locking member 33, realizing the quick installation and removal of the transparent liquid storage box 31. Users can observe the state of the liquid inside the box to clean it in time as needed, and also observe changes in liquid color, turbidity, etc., to help judge the pet's health status. For example, abnormal urine color may indicate that the pet is not drinking enough water or has health problems, making it easier to detect and take countermeasures in time. The locking head 331 at the top of the transparent liquid storage box 31 is engaged with the spring lock body 332, requiring the user to apply a certain amount of force. The transparent liquid collection box 31 can only be removed by pulling. This design avoids the risk of the box falling off due to excessive weight if the user does not clean the liquid in time. The liquid collection box can be removed separately for cleaning without affecting the overall structure of the feces collection device 2. The rubber stopper 34 forms a tight fit with the side drain port of the transparent liquid collection box 31, which can effectively prevent the liquid in the liquid collection box from leaking during daily use or transportation, avoiding pollution of the pet cage and the surrounding environment. When it is necessary to pour out the liquid in the liquid collection box, simply pull out the rubber stopper 34, and the liquid can flow out quickly through the drain port without having to flip the entire liquid collection box, reducing liquid residue and cleaning dead corners, and improving cleaning efficiency.It should be noted that the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical end of the locking head 331 forms a snap-fit ​​engagement with the inner sides of the first and second locking claws of the spring lock body 332. One side of the first and second locking claws is fixedly connected to one end of the spring, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 334. A rotating shaft 333 is rotatably connected between the protruding structures on both sides of the top of the base plate 334. The two ends of the rotating shaft 333 pass through the ends of the first and second locking claws, respectively, and the outer wall of the rotating shaft 333 forms a rotating engagement with the inner walls of the first and second locking claws, allowing the first and second locking claws to slide slightly along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 333. When the transparent liquid storage box 31 is installed, the cylindrical end of the locking head 331 presses against the first and second locking claws, forcing them to open outward along the rotating shaft 333. At this time, the spring is stretched and undergoes elastic deformation. After the locking head 331 is fully engaged in the snap-fit ​​position, the elastic restoring force of the spring drives the first and second locking claws to tighten inward, forming a tight engagement with the locking head 331, completing the locking action. When it is necessary to disassemble the transparent liquid storage box 31, external force is applied to make the first and second locking claws overcome the spring force and open outward, disengaging the locking head 331 from the snap-fit ​​position, achieving quick unlocking. Utilizing the elastic restoring characteristics of the spring and the snap-fit ​​cooperation of the locking claws, the transparent liquid storage box 31 can be quickly disassembled and assembled without tools, significantly improving operational convenience. The rotational connection between the rotating shaft 333 and the base plate 334 provides a stable support fulcrum for the locking claws. Combined with the continuous preload of the spring, this ensures the structural stability in the locked state, effectively preventing component loosening due to external force during cleaning, and ensuring the reliability of the liquid storage device 3.

[0028] The threaded wedge lock assembly 17 includes a first wedge 171, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 11. A second wedge 172 is slidably connected to the wedge surface of the first wedge 171, and the second wedge 172 is also slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 11. One end of the first wedge 171 is threadedly connected to a threaded shaft 173. Rotating the threaded shaft 173 drives the first wedge 171 to move laterally, and pushes the second wedge 172 to move vertically through the wedge surface, thus tightly pressing the side slider of the sliding base plate 16 against the inner wall of the support plate 11, enhancing the connection strength between the sliding base plate 16 and the housing 1. It should be noted that limiting blocks are provided on both sides of the first wedge 171. When the operating end of the threaded shaft 173 is rotated, the threaded shaft 173 rotates around its own axis, and its external thread meshes with the internal thread of the first wedge 171, generating a thrust along the axial direction of the threaded rod. Since the limiting blocks on both sides of the first wedge 171 prevent it from rotating synchronously with the threaded shaft 173, the axial force generated by the thread meshing can only drive the first wedge 171 to move along the straight trajectory defined by the limiting blocks, realizing the conversion from rotational motion to linear motion. The linear motion of the first wedge 171 is transmitted to the second wedge 172 through its wedge surface, pushing the second wedge 172 to move in the vertical direction, and finally realizing the tight locking between the support plate 11 and the sliding base plate 16.

[0029] The ball-cone wedge buckle 23 includes a horizontal wedge buckle 231, one end of which is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle 21. A vertical wedge buckle 232 is slidably connected to the wedge surface of the horizontal wedge buckle 231. A conical column 233 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical wedge buckle 232. A small ball 234 is slidably connected to one side of the top of the conical column 233. One side of the small ball 234 is embedded in the inside of the locking hole 235. The locking hole 235 is opened inside the locking column 237. A wedge surface cover 236 is fixedly connected to the outside of the locking column 237. A limit rod 238 is slidably connected to the inside of the top of the locking column 237. One end of the limit rod 238 is fixedly connected to the top of the conical column 233. The wedge surface cover 236 and the side of the locking column 237 are both fixedly connected to the inside of the sliding base plate 16.

[0030] It should be noted that one end of the horizontal wedge 231 is fixedly connected to the baffle 21, and the inclined wedge surface of the other end forms a sliding fit with the inclined wedge surface at the bottom of the vertical wedge 232, which can convert the horizontal thrust of the baffle 21 into the vertical lift of the vertical wedge 232; the top of the vertical wedge 232 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the conical column 233, and the two move synchronously; the top of the conical column 233 has an arc-shaped groove circumferentially formed, and the small ball 234 is embedded in the groove and slidably connected to the groove wall; the locking hole 235 inside the locking column 237 is a stepped hole, the diameter of which is slightly larger than the diameter of the small ball 234, and its axis is collinear with the axis of the conical column 233; the inner wall of the wedge cover 236 is gradually tapered. The modified wedge surface gradually increases in size outwards, and both the wedge cover 236 and the side of the locking pin 237 are fixedly connected to the sliding base plate 16, forming a fixed locking base. A groove for a matching limiting rod 238 is provided inside the sliding base plate 16. One end of the limiting rod 238 is fixedly connected to the top of the conical pin 233, and the other end passes through the guide hole at the top of the locking pin 237, forming a sliding fit. This restricts the circumferential rotation of the conical pin 233, ensuring that it only moves linearly in the vertical direction. The length of the limiting rod 238 matches the sliding stroke, and through its cooperation with the locking pin 237, the maximum lifting height of the conical pin 233 is limited. This design ensures that during each locking process... The conical column 233 can push the small ball 234 to a preset position where it contacts the wedge surface of the wedge cover 236, preventing the small ball from being squeezed and deformed due to excessive lifting of the conical column 233, or insufficient lifting leading to insufficient locking force, thereby ensuring the stability and repeatability of the locking effect. In the unlocked state, the limiting rod 238 can keep the conical column 233 in a relatively fixed position, preventing it from shaking or displacing due to external forces, thus maintaining the stability of the entire ball-cone wedge buckle 23 structure and avoiding affecting the normal position and function of other components; when the manure collection device 2 pushes into the box 1, the baffle 21 drives the horizontal wedge buckle 231 to move horizontally, and the horizontal wedge buckle 231... The inclined wedge surface of 31 presses against the bottom wedge surface of the vertical wedge buckle 232, forcing the vertical wedge buckle 232 to move vertically upward along the limiting direction, thereby driving the conical column 233 fixed to it to rise synchronously. At this time, the limiting rod 238 slides along the guide hole of the locking column 237 to ensure that the conical column 233 does not deviate. During the process of the conical column 233 rising, the small ball 234 in its top groove moves upward together and gradually approaches the locking hole 235 of the locking column 237. When the conical column 233 rises to the preset position, one side of the small ball 234 completely enters the locking hole 235 to achieve initial positioning. At this time, the small ball only makes slight contact with the inner wall of the locking hole 235.As the manure collection device 2 continues to push, the horizontal wedge 231 further pushes the vertical wedge 232 upward, causing the conical column 233 to rise continuously. The arc-shaped groove at the top of the conical column 233 exerts an upward thrust on the small ball 234. Simultaneously, the other side of the small ball 234 contacts the inner wedge surface of the wedge cover 236. Due to the gradually changing angle of the wedge surface of the wedge cover 236, the small ball 234 is radially compressed under the combined action of the thrust of the conical column 233 and the reaction force of the wedge surface of the wedge cover 236. The side of the small ball 234 closest to the conical column 233 is supported by the outer wall of the conical column 233, while the side furthest from the conical column 233 is pressed tightly by the wedge surface of the wedge cover 236, forming a triangular compression structure of "conical column, small ball, wedge cover." This compression action tightly engages the small ball 234 within the locking hole 235, while the horizontal wedge... The wedge-shaped engagement of buckle 231 and vertical wedge buckle 232 creates a self-locking effect, ultimately achieving three-dimensional locking between the manure collection device 2 and the sliding base plate 16. When the manure collection device 2 needs to be disassembled, the baffle 21 is pulled outward, causing the horizontal wedge buckle 231 to move in the opposite direction, releasing the pressure on the vertical wedge buckle 232. Under the action of gravity and external force, the vertical wedge buckle 232 and the conical column 233 descend vertically, the pushing force of the conical column 233 on the ball 234 disappears, and the ball 234 disengages from the locking hole 235 under the action of the wedge surface elasticity of the wedge cover 236, completing the unlocking. Through the above structural engagement, the ball-cone wedge buckle 23 utilizes the dual effects of wedge surface movement conversion and radial compression of the ball to achieve tool-free operation of "pushing to lock and pulling to unlock," and the locking force increases with the increase of external force, significantly improving the connection stability and ease of operation.

[0031] Working principle: After receiving the metal cage, the user first unfolds the box 1, separates the part where the support plate 11 and the sliding bottom plate 16 are engaged, then opens the support plate 11 outwards, and then unfolds the folding plate 12 between the two support plates 11 through the hinge to form a cuboid frame. Press the locking rod 134 of the spring locking pin 13 to remove the short rod from the locking port 135. The spring 133 pushes the locking rod 134 to move, fixing the folding plate 12 to the support plate 11. Then, rotate the top plate 14 upwards to a suitable angle. When closed, it is positioned by the spring locking pin 13. Push the metal door 15 to close, press the two spring locking pins 13 at the top to insert the locking rod 134 into the locking port 135 to complete the locking. Finally, align the circular sliders at both ends of the sliding bottom plate 16 with the grooves on the inner wall of the support plate 11, push the sliding bottom plate 16 into the box 1, and after sliding to the preset position, rotate the threaded wedge lock assembly 17. The threaded shaft 173 drives the first wedge 171 to move laterally, and pushes the second wedge 172 to move vertically through the wedge surface, pressing the side slider of the sliding base plate 16 tightly against the inner wall of the support plate 11 to enhance the connection strength. Then, the slide rail 22 of the dry and wet separation manure collection device 2 is aligned with the slide groove on the inner wall of the sliding base plate 16 and pushed horizontally. Simultaneously, the horizontal wedge buckle 231 pushes the vertical wedge buckle 232 to rise, causing the conical column 233 to rise, so that the ball 234 is embedded in the locking hole 235 of the locking column 237 and pressed against the wedge surface cover 236 to achieve three-dimensional locking between the manure collection device 2 and the sliding base plate 16. Finally, the locking head 331 of the transparent liquid storage box 31 is aligned with the spring lock body 332 at the bottom of the baffle 21. The locking head 331 squeezes the locking claw to open the spring. After the locking head 331 is fully engaged inside the locking claw, the spring's restoring force resets the locking claw to achieve locking.

[0032] During daily use, the spring lock pin 13 on the top of the metal door 15 is opened to allow pets to enter and exit; after closing, the lock pin is pressed again to lock, and the top plate 14 is flipped and rotated to place or remove pets and supplies from the top; the liquid volume, color and turbidity can be observed through the transparent liquid storage box 31 to determine the pet's health status and cleaning time; when cleaning is required, depending on the cleaning needs, a complete cleaning can be performed by unlocking the threaded wedge lock assembly 17 to remove the sliding base plate 16 along with the feces collection device 2 and the liquid storage device 3 for cleaning; when all feces need to be cleaned, the baffle 21 of the feces collection device 2 can be pulled separately to unlock the ball-cone wedge buckle 23, and the feces collection device 2 can be pulled out along the slide rail 22 for cleaning; when only liquid needs to be cleaned, the transparent liquid storage box 31 is pulled to drive the locking head 331 downward to squeeze, causing the first and second locking claws of the spring locking member 33 to overcome the spring force and open outward, allowing the locking head 331 to disengage from the spring lock body 332, then the transparent liquid storage box 31 is removed, the rubber stopper 34 is pulled out to pour out the liquid and clean. Once cleaning is complete, the installation process is simple: just push the locking head of the corresponding component back into or press it back into the corresponding locking part to complete the installation. It is convenient and quick to use.
