Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this utility model belong to the field of pet supplies, and specifically relate to a support foot, a collection device, 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 litter boxes, to facilitate easy cleaning, the waste collection container is typically located at the bottom of the litter box base. The base usually has sliding rails or other sliding components to allow the waste collection container to be installed at the bottom. When cleaning is needed, the user can use the sliding rails to pull the waste collection container out from the bottom of the base, thus removing it from the base. After cleaning, the user must use the sliding rails to slide the waste collection container back into the base to complete the installation. However, the inventors discovered that the sliding rails are precision components, requiring high machining accuracy and increasing the overall cost of the device. Furthermore, after prolonged use, dirt and grime easily accumulate inside the rails, causing the waste collection container to slide unevenly and hindering subsequent cleaning and maintenance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to design a support foot, a collection device, and a pet litter box, which not only facilitates the installation of the collection device but also prevents dirt and grime buildup, making it easier to clean and maintain the pet litter box later.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, some embodiments of this utility model provide a support foot for a pet litter box. The support foot is disposed at the bottom of the base of the pet litter box, and a support surface is provided on the support foot radially thereon. The support surface is used to support the waste collection container of the pet litter box.

[0006] In addition, some embodiments of this utility model also provide a litter box collection device, which is supported on the support surface of the support foot as described above, so that the collection device can be pulled out or detachably installed at the bottom of the base of the litter box.

[0007] In addition, some embodiments of this utility model relate to a pet litter box, including:

[0008] A base; the bottom of the base has a first mounting side and a second mounting side opposite to the first mounting side;

[0009] A plurality of support feet as described above; wherein at least one of the support feet is disposed on the first mounting side of the bottom, and at least another support foot is disposed on the second mounting side of the bottom;

[0010] The toilet as described above; the toilet is partially supported on the support surface of each of the support legs provided on the first mounting side, and partially supported on the support surface of each of the support legs provided on the second mounting side, so that the toilet can be pulled out or detachably mounted on the bottom of the base.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model have the following advantages: the support feet at the bottom of the base have a support surface arranged radially thereon, and this support surface can be used to support the litter box's waste collection device. Therefore, by setting a certain number of support feet at the bottom of the base, and setting each support foot on opposite sides of the bottom of the base, the support feet can not only support the base, but also support the waste collection device on the support surface of each support foot, so that the waste collection device can be installed under the base. Furthermore, since the waste collection device is supported on the support surface of each support foot, it is not easy for dirt to accumulate on the support surface, which is beneficial for users to clean and maintain the pet litter box later.

[0017] 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 with various changes and modifications based on the following embodiments.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] The first embodiment of this utility model relates to a support foot for a pet litter box, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the support foot 1 is located at the bottom of the base 2 of the pet litter box, and the support foot 1 has a support surface 11 arranged radially thereon, and the support surface 11 is used to support the litter box's collection container 3.

[0020] As can be seen from the above, since the support foot 1 at the bottom of the base 2 has a support surface 11 arranged radially thereon, and this support surface 11 can be used to support the litter box 3, by setting a certain number of support feet 1 at the bottom of the base 2, and setting each support foot 1 on opposite sides of the bottom of the base 2, each support foot 1 can not only support the base 2, but also support the litter box 3 on the support surface 11 of each support foot 1, so that the litter box 3 can be installed under the base 2. Furthermore, since the litter box 3 is supported on the support surface 11 of each support foot 1, it is not easy for dirt to accumulate on the support surface 11, which is beneficial for users to clean and maintain the litter box later.

[0021] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the support surface 11 of the support leg 1 is used for the toilet bowl 3 to be detachably mounted on the bottom of the base 2. For example, there is a large gap between the support surface 11 of each support leg 1 and the bottom of the base 2. This gap allows the toilet bowl 3 to be placed directly on the support surface 11 of each support leg 1. When the toilet bowl 3 is placed on the support surface 11 of each support leg 1, the opening side 314 of the toilet bowl 3 can be separated from the bottom of the base 2, or the opening side 314 of the toilet bowl 3 can be sealed with the bottom of the base 2, thereby ensuring that odors inside the toilet bowl 3 do not overflow and preventing odors inside the toilet bowl 3 from polluting the outside air. Of course, as an alternative, in some other embodiments, the support surface 11 of the support foot 1 is used for the toilet 3 to be retractably disposed at the bottom of the base 2. For example, the distance between the support surface 11 of each support foot 1 and the bottom of the base 2 is approximately the overall height of the toilet 3, or the distance is approximately the thickness of the flange 32 on the toilet 3, so that each support surface 11 can together form a sliding space 18 between itself and the bottom of the base 2, thereby allowing the toilet 3 to slide directly within the sliding space 18 by being retracted.

[0022] Furthermore, it is worth noting that when the support surface 11 of the support foot 1 is used for the pull-out toilet bowl 3 to be mounted on the bottom of the base 2, the support surface 11 of the support foot 1 can slide or roll with the toilet bowl 3. For example, when the support surface 11 of the support foot 1 slides with the toilet bowl 3, the support surface 11 of the support foot 1 can be a smooth plane, thereby reducing the friction between the toilet bowl 3 and the support surface 11 of the support foot 1, allowing the toilet bowl 3 to slide more easily under the base 2. When the support surface 11 of the support foot 1 rolls with the toilet bowl 3, a roller can be provided on the support foot 1, and the outer surface of the roller is the support surface 11. When the toilet bowl 3 is pulled out from under the base 2, it can roll with the support surface 11 of each support foot 1, thus similarly reducing the friction between the toilet bowl 3 and the support surface 11 of the support foot 1, thereby also facilitating the pulling out of the toilet bowl 3 under the base 2.

[0023] Additionally, it is worth mentioning that in some other embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support leg 1 includes: a top surface 12, a bottom surface 13 away from the top surface 12, and an outer peripheral surface 14 connected to both the top surface 12 and the bottom surface 13. Wherein, combined with Figure 2 As shown, a boss 15 is provided on the outer peripheral surface 14, and the boss 15 is located below the bottom of the base 2 and forms a gap with the bottom of the base 2. Meanwhile, the side of the boss 15 opposite to the base 2 is a support surface 11.

[0024] Specifically, in some embodiments, the boss 15 is integrally formed with the support leg 1. For example, as... Figure 2As shown, the boss 15 can be formed by a portion of the outer peripheral surface 14 of the support leg 1 protruding radially. The boss 15 can be located between the top surface 12 of the support leg 1 and the ground support, or, as... Figure 1 As shown, the boss 15 can also be formed by a portion of the outer peripheral surface 14 of the support leg 1 protruding radially from the top surface 12 to the bottom surface 13, so that the support surface 11 and the top surface 12 are integrated. To ensure a larger gap between the support surface 11 and the bottom of the base 2 after the support leg 1 is installed on the bottom of the base 2, as shown... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support leg 1 also includes a connecting column 16, which is disposed on the top surface 12 and extends vertically away from the bottom surface 13. The connecting column 16 can be connected to the bottom of the base 2, so that the support surface 11 connected to the top surface 12 can also be separated from the bottom of the base 2 to form a gap, thereby enabling the support surface 11 of each support leg 1 to meet the requirements of supporting the toilet 3.

[0025] Additionally, it is worth noting that when the boss 15 and the support leg 1 are integrally formed, in other embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the boss 15 extends at least partially from the top surface 12 to the bottom surface 13 of the support leg 1 in an inclined direction close to the axis of the support leg 1, so that the side of the boss 15 connected to the outer peripheral surface 14 of the support leg 1 is an inclined side 17. Through this inclined side 17, the flange portion 32 of the toilet bowl 3 can be engaged when sliding into the sliding space 18. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, it will not interfere with the toilet 3, thus further facilitating the installation of the toilet 3 at the bottom of the base 2.

[0026] Of course, besides being integrally formed with the support leg 1, as an alternative, in some embodiments, the boss 15 can also be an external component fixed to the support leg 1. For example, the connection between the boss 15 and the support leg 1 can be achieved by snap-fit, threaded connection, or bolt fixing. Alternatively, a connecting ring (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the boss 15, which can be directly sleeved on the support leg 1, thus allowing the boss 15 to be installed on the support leg 1 in the same way.

[0027] Furthermore, in other embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support leg 1 can also be detachably connected to the bottom of the base 2. For example, the support leg 1 and the bottom of the base 2 can be connected by a thread, specifically, as shown... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the connecting post 16 of the support leg 1 can be designed as a stud with external threads, and the bottom of the base 2 can be provided with a threaded hole corresponding to the connecting post 16. When the support leg 1 is installed with the base 2, the connecting post 16 on the support leg 1 can be directly screwed into the threaded hole on the base 2, thereby completing the installation of the support leg 1 on the bottom of the base 2. Of course, the above assembly method between the support leg 1 and the base 2 is only described using a threaded connection as an example. In other embodiments, the support leg 1 can also be connected to the base 2 by a snap-fit ​​connection, or the support leg and the bottom of the base 2 can be integrally formed. In this embodiment, the assembly method between the support leg 1 and the base 2 is not specifically limited.

[0028] Furthermore, as can be seen from the above, since the support foot 1 is detachably set at the bottom of the base 2, when cleaning the base 2 or the support foot 1, the detachable feature of the support foot 1 on the base 2 allows the base 2 and the support foot 1 to be cleaned separately. This effectively prevents dirt and grime from accumulating on the base 2 and the support foot 1, making it more convenient for users to clean and maintain the pet litter box later.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] Embodiment 2 of this utility model relates to a litter box collection device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the litter box 3 is supported on the support surface 11 of the support foot 1 as described in Embodiment 1, so that the litter box 3 can be pulled out or detachably installed at the bottom of the base 2 of the pet litter box.

[0031] Furthermore, in order for the toilet bowl 3 to be supported on the support surface 11 of the support leg 1, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the toilet collector 3 includes a toilet collector body 31 and a flange portion 32. The toilet collector body 31 includes a bottom shell 311 and a circumferentially arranged sidewall 312 surrounding the bottom shell 311. The sidewall 312 forms a collection space 313 on the bottom shell 311 for collecting waste and / or pet excrement. The side of the sidewall 312 away from the bottom shell 311 is an opening side 314. This opening side 314 allows the toilet collector 3 to be directly opposite the waste discharge port (not shown) on the base 2 when installed below the base 2, so that waste and / or pet excrement discharged from the waste discharge port can fall into the collection space 313 of the toilet collector 3, thereby enabling the toilet collector 3 to collect waste and / or pet excrement. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the flange 32 protrudes out of the outer side of the side wall 312, and the flange 32 can press against the support surface 11 of the support foot 1, so that the toilet 3 can be pulled out or detachably installed at the bottom of the base 2.

[0032] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the flange portion 32 can be positioned away from the bottom of the shell 311. For example, the flange portion 32 can be positioned on the side wall 312 near the opening side 314, so that when the flange portion 32 slides into the sliding space 18 formed between the support surface 11 of each support foot 1 and the bottom of the base 2, it engages... Figure 5 As shown, the majority of the toilet bowl 3 is suspended from the bottom of the base 2. It is easy to see that this arrangement of the flange 32 on the side wall 312 not only allows for the installation of the toilet bowl 3 on the bottom of the base 2, but also, because the flange 32 is close to the opening side 314, when the flange 32 is slid into the sliding space 18, the main stress point of the toilet bowl 3 is concentrated on the opening side 314 above the toilet bowl 3. This prevents the toilet bowl 3 from tipping over during the sliding of the flange 32, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the toilet bowl 3 when installed on the bottom of the base 2. Of course, in other embodiments, the flange 32 can also be positioned at other locations on the side wall 312. Furthermore, as an alternative, in some other embodiments, the flange portion 32 on the toilet bowl 3 can be omitted. Therefore, when installing the toilet bowl 3, the bottom 311 of the toilet bowl 3 can be directly pressed against the support surface 11 of each support leg 1, so that the toilet bowl 3 can be installed under the base 2 in the same way.

[0033] In addition, it is worth mentioning that, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, since each support leg 1 is arranged in pairs opposite each other at the bottom of the base 2, the distribution of each support leg 1 on the base 2 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the flange 32 can be formed circumferentially around the sidewall 312, so that any two opposite sides of the flange 32 can respectively press against the support surfaces 11 of different support legs 1. Of course, as an alternative, in some other embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the flange portion 32 may include at least: a first protrusion 321 and a second protrusion 322 disposed opposite to each other, and the first protrusion 321 and the second protrusion 322 are respectively used to press against the support surface 11 of different support legs 1.

[0034] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, in some other embodiments, the toilet 3 further includes a flexible sealing element (not shown in the figure), which is disposed on the flange portion 32 and protrudes from the opening side 314. The flexible sealing element is also formed circumferentially around the side wall 312, allowing it to flexibly seal the opening side 314 of the toilet body 31 against the bottom of the base 2. Specifically, the flexible sealing element can be a rubber sealing ring, silicone sealing ring, or other sealing element. When the flange portion 32 on the toilet 3 slides into the sliding space 18 formed between the support surface 11 of each support foot 1 and the bottom of the base 2, the flexible sealing element can tightly fit against the bottom of the base 2, thereby achieving a flexible seal between the opening side 314 of the toilet 3 and the bottom of the base 2. This effectively prevents odors from escaping from the toilet 3 and avoids air pollution.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] Embodiment 3 of this utility model relates to a pet litter box, such as... Figure 5 As shown, it includes: a base 2, several support legs 1 as described in Embodiment 1, a toilet 3 as described in Embodiment 2, and a basin 4 that is rotatably mounted on the base 2.

[0037] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the base 2 has a first mounting side (not shown) and a second mounting side (not shown) opposite to the first mounting side. At least one support leg 1 is disposed on the first mounting side of the bottom of the base 2, and at least another support leg 1 is disposed on the second mounting side of the bottom of the base 2.

[0038] In addition, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the toilet 3 is partially supported on the support surface 11 of each support leg 1 located on the first mounting side, and another part of the toilet 3 is supported on the support surface 11 of each support leg 1 located on the second mounting side, so that the toilet 3 can be pulled out or detachably mounted on the bottom of the base 2.

[0039] As can be seen from the above, since the support foot 1 at the bottom of the base 2 has a support surface 11 arranged radially thereon, and this support surface 11 can be used to support the litter box 3, by setting a certain number of support feet 1 at the bottom of the base 2, and setting each support foot 1 on opposite sides of the bottom of the base 2, each support foot 1 can not only support the base 2, but also support the litter box 3 on the support surface 11 of each support foot 1, so that the litter box 3 can be installed under the base 2. Furthermore, since the litter box 3 is supported on the support surface 11 of each support foot 1, it is not easy for dirt to accumulate on the support surface 11, which is beneficial for users to clean and maintain the litter box later.

[0040] 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.
