[0002] A litter box typically includes a working compartment and a waste compartment. The waste compartment is used to collect used cat litter or cat excrement, so it needs to be sealed to reduce odor leakage.

[0003] Utility model patent CN219660632U discloses a waste tray sealing assembly and a litter box. The waste tray sealing assembly covers the collection cavity of the waste tray and includes a bracket, guide rails, a first hinge, a second hinge, and a driving component. A waste pouring port is provided in the middle of the bracket, corresponding to the collection cavity. Guide rails are provided on opposite sides of the waste pouring port, and the opposite ends of the first and second hinges are mounted on the guide rails, covering the side of the waste pouring port closest to the waste tray. The driving component can drive the first and second hinges to slide towards or away from each other along the guide rails to close or open the waste pouring port. This prior art uses a drive motor to simultaneously drive the first and second hinges to slide towards or away from each other to close or open the waste pouring port. Therefore, the drive motor needs to be connected separately to the first and second hinges, resulting in a complex structure and difficult assembly.

[0004] Therefore, there is still room for improvement and development in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problem that existing technologies require separate drive motor connections to the first and second hinges, resulting in complex structures and difficult assembly, this invention provides a waste collection device and a cat litter box.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution applied in this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A waste collection device includes a base with a detachable waste bin having an opening; a sealing assembly slidably mounted on the base, corresponding to the opening, and comprising a first hinge and a second hinge; and a drive assembly mounted on the base and drivenly connected to the first hinge. When the drive assembly drives the first hinge to slide, the first hinge drives the second hinge to slide in the same direction, thus opening or closing the opening. This configuration, with the drive assembly drivenly connected to the first hinge and the first and second hinges correspondingly, eliminates the need for a direct drive connection between the second hinge and the drive assembly, resulting in a simple structure and convenient assembly. During operation, the drive assembly drives the first hinge to slide, which in turn drives the second hinge to slide in the same direction, thus opening or closing the opening.

[0008] According to the above scheme, the second hinge is provided with a raised limiting rib, and the first hinge is provided with a raised first sealing rib and a second sealing rib, with the limiting rib located between the first sealing rib and the second sealing rib; when the opening is closed, when the driving component drives the first hinge to slide, the first sealing rib on the first hinge abuts against the limiting rib, causing the second hinge to slide in the same direction to open the opening; when the opening is open, when the driving component drives the first hinge to slide, the second sealing rib on the first hinge abuts against the limiting rib, causing the second hinge to slide in the same direction to close the opening.

[0009] According to the above scheme, a first guide bracket and a second guide bracket are installed on the base, and a fixed bracket is installed between the first guide bracket and the second guide bracket; the first hinge and the second hinge are slidably located between the first guide bracket and the second guide bracket, and the first hinge is slidably located above or below the second hinge.

[0010] According to the above scheme, a first sealing strip is installed on the second hinge, and a second sealing strip is installed on the first hinge; when the opening is in the closed state, a seal is formed between the first sealing strip and the first hinge, and a seal is formed between the second sealing strip and the fixed bracket. This arrangement can effectively prevent the volatilization of odors in the waste bin.

[0011] According to the above scheme, the first guide bracket and the second guide bracket are respectively provided with guide grooves, and the first hinge is provided with guide ribs, which are slidably connected to the guide grooves. This arrangement, through the cooperation of the guide ribs and guide grooves, provides a guiding function, making the sliding of the first hinge by the drive assembly more stable and preventing misalignment.

[0012] According to the above scheme, a rack is formed on the first hinge; the driving assembly includes a drive motor and a gear, the drive motor is fixed on the base, the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the gear, the gear and the rack are meshed, and the drive motor is used to drive the gear to rotate forward and backward. With this configuration, the drive motor drives the gear to rotate forward and backward, thereby driving the first hinge to slide, and the first hinge drives the second hinge to slide in the same direction, used to open or close the opening.

[0013] The present invention provides a cat litter box, which includes a main body and the aforementioned waste collection device. The main body and the base are fixedly connected. A working compartment is formed on the main body, which is located above the waste compartment. The working compartment and the waste compartment are connected by an opening.

[0014] According to the above scheme, a litter scoop is installed inside the working chamber, and the litter scoop has separation holes. With this configuration, the litter scoop can separate clumps of cat litter and feces in the working chamber. The separated feces clumps can be collected through the waste bin, and the separated cat litter can be returned to the working chamber by rotating the litter scoop.

[0015] According to the above design, a first handle and a second handle are respectively provided on both sides of the main body. This design facilitates the movement of the litter box.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention is configured such that the driving component is connected to the first hinge, and the first hinge and the second hinge are correspondingly arranged. The second hinge does not need to be directly connected to the driving component. Its structure is relatively simple and easy to assemble. During operation, the driving component drives the first hinge to slide, and the first hinge then drives the second hinge to slide in the same direction, thereby opening or closing the opening.

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the waste collection device of this utility model includes a base 5, on which a detachable waste bin 22 is provided, and an opening 23 is formed on the waste bin 22; a sealing component 21, which is slidably installed on the base 5 and is correspondingly arranged with the opening 23; the sealing component 21 includes a first hinge 9 and a second hinge 7, which are correspondingly arranged; and a driving component, which is installed on the base 5 and is drivenly connected to the first hinge 9; when the driving component drives the first hinge 9 to slide, the first hinge 9 drives the second hinge 7 to slide in the same direction, thereby opening or closing the opening 23. This configuration, by driving the driving component to the first hinge 9 and correspondingly arranging the first and second hinges 7, eliminates the need for the second hinge 7 to be directly driven by the driving component, resulting in a simpler structure and easier assembly; during operation, the first hinge 9 is driven to slide by the driving component, and the first hinge 9 then drives the second hinge 7 to slide in the same direction, thus opening or closing the opening 23.

[0031] In practical applications, the waste bin 22 is detachably mounted on the base 5, making cleaning convenient.

[0032] Furthermore, the second hinge 7 is provided with a raised limiting rib 71, and the first hinge 9 is provided with a raised first sealing rib 91 and a second sealing rib 92. The limiting rib 71 is located between the first sealing rib 91 and the second sealing rib 92. When the opening 23 is closed, when the driving component drives the first hinge 9 to slide, the first sealing rib 91 on the first hinge 9 abuts against the limiting rib 71, causing the second hinge 7 to slide in the same direction to open the opening 23. When the opening 23 is open, when the driving component drives the first hinge 9 to slide, the second sealing rib 92 on the first hinge 9 abuts against the limiting rib 71, causing the second hinge 7 to slide in the same direction to close the opening 23.

[0033] Furthermore, a first guide bracket 10 and a second guide bracket 13 are installed on the base 5, and a fixed bracket 11 is installed between the first guide bracket 10 and the second guide bracket 13; the first hinge 9 and the second hinge 7 are slidably located between the first guide bracket 10 and the second guide bracket 13, and the first hinge 9 is slidably located above or below the second hinge 7.

[0034] In practical applications, the first hinge 9 and the second hinge 7 are stacked. When the first hinge 9 slides to form a misalignment with the second hinge 7, the opening 23 is in a closed state; when the first hinge 9 slides to form a stack with the second hinge 7, the opening 23 is in an open state.

[0035] Furthermore, a first sealing strip 8 is installed on the second hinge 7, and a second sealing strip 18 is installed on the first hinge 9; when the opening 23 is in the closed state, a seal is formed between the first sealing strip 8 and the first hinge 9, and a seal is formed between the second sealing strip 18 and the fixed bracket 11. This arrangement can effectively prevent the volatilization of odors in the waste compartment 22.

[0036] In practical applications, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first sealing strip 8 is installed on the limiting rib 71, and the first hinge 9 and the second hinge 7 are stacked. When the opening 23 is closed, the side of the second sealing rib 92 abuts against the side of the limiting rib 71, and the end of the second sealing rib 92 abuts against the surface of the second hinge 7. At the same time, the end of the first sealing strip 8 on the limiting rib 71 abuts against the surface of the first hinge 9, so that a seal is formed between the first hinge 9 and the second hinge 7. The second sealing strip 18 is installed on the first sealing rib 91. When the opening 23 is closed, the side of the second sealing strip 18 is clamped between the first sealing rib 91 and the fixed bracket 11, and the end of the second sealing strip 18 abuts against the surface of the reinforcing rib 111 of the fixed bracket 11, so that a seal is formed between the first hinge 9 and the fixed bracket 11.

[0037] Furthermore, the first guide bracket 10 and the second guide bracket 13 are respectively provided with guide grooves 16, and the first hinge 9 is provided with guide ribs 17, with the guide ribs 17 and guide grooves 16 slidably connected. This arrangement, through the cooperation of the guide ribs 17 and guide grooves 16, provides a guiding function, making the sliding of the first hinge 9 by the drive assembly more stable and preventing misalignment.

[0038] In practical applications, when the opening 23 is closed, a seal is also formed between the first hinge 9, the first guide bracket 10, and the second guide bracket 13 when the guide rib 17 and the guide groove 16 are slidably connected.

[0039] Furthermore, the first hinge 9 has a rack 15 formed on it; the driving assembly includes a drive motor 12 and a gear 14. The drive motor 12 is fixed to the base 5, and the output end of the drive motor 12 is fixedly connected to the gear 14. The gear 14 and the rack 15 are meshed together, and the drive motor 12 is used to drive the gear 14 to rotate in both directions. With this configuration, the drive motor 12 drives the gear 14 to rotate in both directions, thereby driving the first hinge 9 to slide. The first hinge 9 drives the second hinge 7 to slide in the same direction, which is used to open or close the opening 23.

[0040] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the cat litter box of this utility model includes a main body 1 and the aforementioned waste collection device. The main body 1 and the base 5 are fixedly connected. A working chamber 2 is formed on the main body 1. The working chamber 2 is located above the waste chamber 22.
