The bolts 513 can be used to fix the collection box 503. The handles 514 can be used to move the collection box 503. The operating block 515 can be used to adjust the moving frame 505.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The limiting component 6 includes a limiting box 601. The surface of the limiting box 601 is fixedly connected to the side plate 2. A spring 602 is provided in the inner cavity of the limiting box 601. Movable blocks 603 are fixedly connected to both sides of the spring 602. A positioning rod 604 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable block 603. One end of the positioning rod 604 extends through to the outside of the limiting box 601 and is fitted with a positioning sleeve 605. The surface of the positioning sleeve 605 is fixedly connected to the basin 1. An adjusting plate 606 is fixedly connected to the front side of the movable block 603. One side of the adjusting plate 606 extends through to the outside of the limiting box 601. By providing the positioning sleeve 605, the positioning rod 604 can be easily used. By providing the spring 602, the two movable blocks 603 can be easily moved away from each other to reset. By providing the adjusting plate 606, the movable blocks 603 can be easily adjusted by the user.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The bottom of the separating screen 506 contacts the inner wall of the basin 1, the surface of the slide rod 502 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 504, the top of the collection box 503 has an opening 516 for use with the screen plate 509, and the top of the collection box 503 is rotatably connected to the screw 510 through a bearing. By setting the separating screen 506, it can be used to separate clumps of cat litter. By setting the slide rod 502, the movement range of the sliding sleeve 504 can be limited. By setting the opening 516, the installation and use of the screen plate 509 can be facilitated. By setting the bearing, the rotation of the screw 510 can be facilitated.

[0029] Working principle: The user can move the moving frame 505 and the separating screen 506 by operating block 515. Moving the separating screen 506 to the right pushes the clumped cat litter into the collection box 503 through the discharge port 507, quickly separating the clumped cat litter in the basin 1. The collection box 503 can be quickly fixed by bolt 513. After releasing the fixing of the collection box 503, it can be removed by using handle 514. Then, when it is necessary to sift out the clean cat litter from the collection box 503, the screw 510 can be rotated by knob 512. The rotation of screw 510 drives the screw sleeve 51 1. Move the mesh plate 509 upwards until the through holes on the mesh plate 509 correspond to the sieve holes 508, which can separate the clean cat litter. Then, the clumps of cat litter can be poured out through the discharge port 507. When it is necessary to replace the entire litter box, simply adjust the plate 606 to move the two moving blocks 603 towards the middle. The moving blocks 603 drive the positioning rod 604 to move out of the positioning sleeve 605, which can release the restriction on the side plate 2. Then, the side plate 2 can be moved upwards to release the closure of the front and back sides of the litter box 1. At this time, the cat litter in the litter box 1 can be poured out quickly. The cleaning efficiency of the cat litter box is improved in multiple ways.
