[0021] 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.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-6A toilet seat cover spring-loaded lock structure includes a toilet seat cover 1, which includes a cover plate 12 and an encapsulation base plate 15 fixedly connected below the cover plate 12. A cavity is formed between the cover plate 12 and the encapsulation base plate 15. A sliding plate 14 and a return spring 13 are disposed in the cavity. The sliding plate 14 can slide within the cavity. A locking tongue 141 is provided on one edge of the sliding plate 14. A locking tongue through hole 151 is provided in the cavity corresponding to the location of the locking tongue 141. Under normal conditions, the sliding plate 14 maintains an elastic tendency to slide towards the side where the locking tongue through hole 151 is located under the elastic force of the return spring 13. The locking tongue 141 is released from the locking plate by the elastic tendency. The tongue-through hole 151 extends outward from the cavity. A key 11 is connected to the slide plate 14. The key 11 is provided with a latch 112. The slide plate 14 is provided with a latch hole 143. The key 11 is integrally connected to the slide plate 14 through the interlocking action of the latch 112 and the latch hole 143. The key 11 extends outward from the cover plate 12 and can slide relative to the cover plate 12. The cover plate 12 has a key through hole 121. A first groove 122 is provided in the key through hole 121. A first sliding bolt 111 is provided at the lower end of the key 11. The key 11 passes through the key through hole 121. A sliding bolt 111 is disposed within the first groove 122, and the first sliding bolt 111 can slide along the length direction of the first groove 122. A second sliding bolt 124 is disposed on the lower end face of the cover plate 12 and the upper end face of the encapsulation base plate 15. The second sliding bolts 124 on the cover plate 12 and the second sliding bolts 124 on the encapsulation base plate 15 are arranged facing each other and extend towards each other. A second groove 142 is disposed on the sliding plate 14, and the second sliding bolt 124 passes through the second groove 142 and is slidably connected to the second groove 142. The litter box cover 1 is fitted onto the opening of the litter box 21 on the litter box body 2. One edge of the opening of the litter box 21 is shaped like a... When the toilet lid 1 is installed on the opening of the litter box 21, the locking tongue 141 is engaged with the inner side of the locking edge 22. The toilet lid 1 is connected to a hinge arm 16 on the side away from the locking tongue 141. The toilet lid 1 is hinged to the litter box body 2 through the hinge arm 16. When the toggle switch 11 is moved by hand to slide away from the locking tongue, the toggle switch 11 slides with the first groove 122 as a guide, and the slide plate 14 slides with the second groove 142 as a guide. Finally, the locking tongue 141 is moved into the cavity, thereby causing the locking tongue 141 to disengage from the locking edge 22 and open from the opening of the litter box 21.

[0023] The cover plate 12 is provided with a force-locking position 123 on the side of the key 11 away from the locking tongue 141. When the cat litter box is manufactured and designed, the spring force coefficient of the return spring 13 is designed according to the pet's gripping force. Therefore, the pet cannot open the litter box cover 1 normally by grabbing the key 11 with one arm. However, the human hand can easily open the litter box cover 1 with one hand by applying force with the help of the force-locking position 123.

[0024] The slide plate 14 is provided with a spring groove 144, and the cover plate 12 is provided with a spring baffle 125 on its lower end surface. The reset spring 13 is installed in the spring groove 144, with one end of the reset spring 13 connected to the slide plate 14 and the other end connected to the spring baffle 125.

[0025] Multiple locking tongues 141 are provided, and the multiple locking tongues 141 are evenly arranged along the length of the slide plate 14. The design of multiple locking tongues 141 can play a role in stabilizing the connection structure when the toilet lid 1 is installed on the opening of the toilet 21, so that the toilet lid 1 will not be loose after it is closed.

[0026] In summary, the present invention provides a stable and non-loosening toilet lid 1 after it is closed, and it requires manual force to open, making the opening and closing operation convenient and effectively preventing pets from accidentally opening it.
