Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet feeding tools, and in particular to a deformable fence-type pet litter tray. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of keeping pets at home, the litter box is a basic hygiene facility, and its accompanying litter removal device is crucial for maintaining a clean environment. Currently, most commercially available litter removal devices use a flat pedal structure, placed at the outlet of the litter box, relying on the natural dislodgement of litter from between the pet's paws when it steps on it. However, this design has a significant drawback: 1. Felines have an instinctive tendency to escape after defecating, often leaving the litter box by jumping or running. This behavior causes many pets to completely avoid the flat step area, rendering the litter drop device ineffective. This is especially true for long-haired cats and kittens, whose paw pads are more likely to trap litter, causing litter to spread widely in the living area and significantly increasing the frequency of cleaning for users. 2. The current mainstream cat litter market has shown a highly diversified trend: mineral litter has a broken shape with sharp edges, tofu litter is mostly columnar particles with rough surfaces, while bentonite is prone to producing fine dust. The mesh structure of traditional litter drop pedals adopts a uniform design, which cannot take into account the physical properties of different cat litters. It has the phenomenon of interception failure for ultrafine particles and the risk of clogging for large particles, resulting in a significant reduction in the actual efficiency of the device. 3. The one-piece structure creates physical blind spots for cleaning the mesh. Especially when damp cat litter sticks to the mesh, traditional plastic materials are prone to forming biofilms, posing a risk of contamination. Long-term accumulated hygiene hazards directly affect the health of pets. Summary of the Invention

[0003] (a) Technical problems to be solved This utility model provides a deformable fence-type pet litter tray to overcome the comprehensive performance defects of the prior art, such as uncontrollable pet behavior leading to litter leakage, poor cat litter compatibility, insufficient size compatibility, and difficulty in hygiene and cleaning.

Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0015] In the description of this utility model, it is necessary to understand that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "top", and "bottom" are all based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose is only to facilitate the description of this utility model and simplify the description, and is not intended to indicate or imply that the indicated component must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0016] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a deformable fence-type pet litter tray, including: a tray body 1 and a screen 2; The pallet body 1 is a hollow rectangular structure with rounded corners around the edges. Several pallet legs 4 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the pallet body 1. These pallet legs 4 are located at the four corners of the pallet body 1 and lift the pallet body 1 off the ground. The pallet legs 4 are threadedly connected to the pallet body 1. It should be noted that the tray support 4 is connected to the tray body 1 by threads. Users can select and screw in tray support 4 of different heights according to the height of the edge of their cat litter box outlet. By changing the tray support 4 of different heights, the height of the entire tray body 1 relative to the cat litter box outlet can be precisely adjusted to ensure that the tray body 1 can fit tightly or be slightly lower than the edge of the litter box, so that the pet can smoothly enter and exit the cat litter box and naturally step on the screen to maximize the litter collection effect.

[0017] The tray body 1 is embedded with a screen 2. This installation method ensures that the screen 2 fits tightly with the tray body 1, preventing loosening or displacement during use. The lower end of the screen 2 is evenly provided with several screen support legs 11. The screen support legs 11 are integrated with the screen 2. The integrated design enhances the overall structural strength of the screen 2 and effectively prevents the support legs from falling off, extending the service life of the screen 2. The outer edge size of the screen 2 matches the inner wall size of the tray body 1, so that the screen 2 remains stable within the body 1 and will not shake due to the movement of pets. The screen 2 is a cylindrical strip screen with evenly distributed holes, which allows fine sand particles stuck between the pet's paws to fall through the holes more smoothly. At the same time, the rounded strip structure will not scratch the pet's paws, improving the pet's comfort when using it. With the support of the screen support legs 11, the screen 2 and the tray body 1 form a double-layer structure. The lower space of the double-layer structure becomes a special collection and storage area, which can efficiently collect cat litter falling from the screen. The screen 2, as the upper structure, plays a filtering role. When pets walk and move on the screen, the fine sand particles that are easily carried out of the tray body 1 and are caught in the gaps between their paws will naturally fall into the lower space through the mesh under the action of gravity, thereby effectively controlling cat litter overflow and keeping the home environment clean. The screen 2 is made of stainless steel, which has excellent rust resistance. Even if it is in contact with damp cat litter and pet urine for a long time, it will not rust. At the same time, stainless steel is hard and wear-resistant, and can withstand frequent trampling by pets without easily deforming.

[0018] The upper end of the tray body 1 is provided with a first guide rail 3, a second guide rail 8, a third guide rail 9 and a fourth guide rail 10 respectively. The second guide rail 8 and the fourth guide rail 10 are symmetrically arranged, and the first guide rail 3 and the third guide rail 9 are symmetrically arranged. A first guide plate 5 is inserted into the second guide rail 8. The first guide plate 5 has a rectangular structure. The lower end and right side of the first guide plate 5 are respectively provided with vertical slots. The back of the first guide plate 5 is provided with a vertical guide rail. A fourth guide plate 13 is provided on one side of the first guide plate 5. The first guide plate 5 and the fourth guide plate 13 are arranged perpendicularly. The fourth guide plate 13 has a rectangular structure. The right side and lower end of the fourth guide plate 13 are respectively provided with slots. The front of the fourth guide plate 13 is provided with a guide rail. The slot on the right side of the fourth guide plate is inserted into the vertical guide rail on the back of the first guide plate 5. A second guide plate 7 is inserted into the third guide rail 9. The second guide plate 7 has a rectangular structure and a slot at its lower end. A guide rail is located on the left side of the second guide plate 7. A third guide plate 12 is inserted into the fourth guide rail 10. The third guide plate 12 has a rectangular structure and a slot at its lower end. A guide rail is located on the right side of the third guide plate 12. A bent guide plate 6 is located between the third guide plate 12 and the second guide plate 7. The bent guide plate 6 has an L-shaped structure and slots on both sides. The two slots of the bent guide plate 6 connect the guide rail on the right side of the third guide plate 12 and the guide rail on the left side of the second guide plate 7, respectively. The third guide plate 12, the bent guide plate 6, and the second guide plate 7 form an L-shaped fence. It should be noted that the size of the passage in the enclosure can be changed by the first guide rail 3, the first guide plate 5, and the fourth guide plate 13 to accommodate the width of the litter box outlet of different sizes, specifically including: Step S1: Slide the first guide plate 5 and the fourth guide plate 13 out of the guide rail and separate them respectively; Step S2: Insert the fourth guide plate 13 into the first guide rail 3, so that the guide rail provided on the fourth guide plate 13 faces inward. Step S3: Connect the slot on the right side of the first guide plate 5 to the guide rail on the fourth guide plate 13.
