Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of pet supplies technology, and specifically relates to a cat litter box. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional litter boxes have a simple structure and require manual cleaning of pet feces at regular intervals. They also tend to have a strong odor and are difficult to keep hygienic. Currently, most automatic litter boxes are designed to rotate and clean up pet feces. By rotating, the feces or litter clumps fall into a collection box under gravity, greatly simplifying the process for cat owners.

[0003] However, some feces or litter clumps may still stick to the bottom of the litter box, affecting its continued use. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above situation, it is necessary to provide a cat litter box that can reduce the risk of feces or cat litter clumps sticking to the bottom of the litter box and not falling off.

[0005] An embodiment of this application provides a litter box, including a base, a basin body, a first driving device, and a scraper assembly. The basin body is configured to be rotatably connected to the base and has an opening. The first driving device is disposed on the base and connected to the basin body. The first driving device is used to drive the basin body to rotate relative to the base in a first direction or a second direction opposite to the first direction. When the basin body rotates in the first direction, the opening changes from facing upward to tilted downward; when the basin body rotates in the second direction, the opening changes from tilted downward to facing upward. The scraper assembly is connected to the base and includes a scraper, at least a portion of which is located within the basin body. When the litter box is in a first state, the opening faces upward, allowing a cat to enter the basin through the opening to defecate or climb out of the basin. When the litter box is in a second state, the opening faces downward, allowing excrement within the basin to slide down through the opening. When the litter box is in the first state, the first driving device drives the box body to rotate in the first direction, which can switch the litter box to the second state. When the litter box is in the second state, the first driving device drives the box body to rotate in the second direction, which can switch the litter box to the first state. During the process of switching the litter box from the first state to the second state, or when the litter box is in the second state, the box body and the scraper rotate relative to each other. The scraper contacts and abuts against the excrement located in the box body, causing the excrement to separate from the box body and slide out of the box body from the opening.

[0006] In some embodiments of this application, the litter box includes a second through hole; the litter box further includes a limiting component connected to the base and at least partially located within the second through hole. The scraper includes a first limiting hole communicating with the second through hole. The scraper assembly further includes a first limiting member, which includes a limiting portion. The first limiting member and the scraper are detachably or rotatably connected. The first limiting member has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the first limiting member is in the locked state, the limiting portion is inserted into the first limiting hole and engages with the limiting component. The limiting component restricts the rotation of the scraper through the first limiting member. When the first limiting member is in the unlocked state, the limiting portion and the first limiting hole are separated. At this time, lifting the scraper can separate the scraper from the litter box.

[0007] In some embodiments of this application, the limiting component includes a second limiting member and a buckle. At least a portion of the second limiting member is located within the second through hole, and the second limiting member and the limiting portion are engaged with each other to limit the rotation of the scraper. The buckle is located on the side of the second through hole opposite to the scraper, with a first end rotatably connected to the second limiting member and a second end detachably engaged with the base.

[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the limiting component further includes a cover located on the side of the second through hole opposite to the scraper and detachably connected to the base, the cover pressing against the side of the buckle opposite to the scraper.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the limiting assembly includes a third limiting member and a cover. At least a portion of the third limiting member is located within the second through hole, and the third limiting member and the limiting portion are engaged with each other to restrict the rotation of the scraper. The cover is located on the side of the second through hole opposite to the scraper and is detachably connected to the base and the third limiting member, and the cover is used to restrict the rotation of the third limiting member.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the limiting component includes a cover, a portion of which is located within the second through hole and engages with the limiting part to limit the rotation of the scraper. The portion of the cover is located on the side of the second through hole away from the scraper and is inserted into the base.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the basin includes a through second hole that communicates with the first limiting hole; the litter box also includes a second driving assembly connected to the base and the limiting part, the second driving assembly being used to drive the scraper to rotate relative to the basin.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the base is provided with a through first hole. The litter box also includes a storage box and a baffle. The storage box is detachably connected to the base and located below the first through hole. The baffle is configured to be rotatably connected to the base and movably connected to the litter body. When the litter body rotates in the first direction, it can drive the baffle to rotate synchronously. When the litter box is in a first state, the baffle is located between the litter body and the base or between the base and the storage box, and covers the first through hole. When the litter box is in a second state, the opening is tilted downwards and located above the first through hole, allowing excrement in the litter box to fall into the storage box through the opening and the first through hole.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the basin includes a first connecting portion and the baffle includes a second connecting portion; when the basin rotates along the first direction, the first connecting portion abuts against the second connecting portion, causing the basin to drive the baffle to rotate synchronously.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the third connecting portion is formed at the other end of the elongated hole along its length. When the litter box is in the second state and the box body rotates along the second direction, the first connecting portion can abut against the third connecting portion, causing the box body to drive the baffle to rotate synchronously.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the storage box includes a first receiving slot, a second receiving slot, and a partition, the partition being located between the first receiving slot and the second receiving slot, and a portion of the first receiving slot, a portion of the second receiving slot, and the partition being located below the first through hole.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the litter box further includes a foot pedal connected to the base for the cat to step on to enter or exit the litter box.

The groove includes an interconnected first section and a second section, the second section being closer to the inner side of the litter box than the first section. The foot pedal includes a protrusion inserted into the groove and movable between the first section and the second section. When the protrusion is located in the first section, the foot pedal is separated from the support portion, and the foot pedal can rotate relative to the fixing member and the base to be in a horizontal state for the cat to step on and in a vertical state for easy storage. When the protrusion is located in the second section, the foot pedal is in a horizontal state and at least partially located above the support portion.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the base includes a second limiting hole; the litter box further includes a connector, the connector including an interlocking plug and a connecting part, the plug being at least partially detachably inserted into the second limiting hole, and the connecting part being located on the outer side of the side wall of the base; the foot pedal is hinged to the connecting part.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the foot pedal includes multiple pedals.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the litter box further includes a fixing member fixedly connected to the base. The fixing member includes an interconnected groove and a support portion. The groove includes an interconnected first section and a second section, the second section being closer to the inner side of the litter box than the first section. The foot pedal includes a protrusion inserted into the groove and movable between the first section and the second section. When the protrusion is located in the first section, the foot pedal is separated from the support portion, and the foot pedal can rotate relative to the fixing member and the base to be in a horizontal state for the cat to step on and in a vertical state for easy storage. When the protrusion is located in the second section, the foot pedal is in a horizontal state and at least partially located above the support portion.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the litter box includes a first compartment and a second compartment, with the second compartment being closer to the opening than the first compartment along the second direction; the litter box also includes a grid plate connected to the litter box and located between the first compartment and the second compartment, the grid plate including a plurality of third through holes configured to allow litter particles to pass through but not to allow cat excrement to pass through; when the litter box is in the first state, at least a portion of the first compartment is located below the second compartment and the grid plate; when the litter box is in the second state, at least a portion of the second compartment is located below the first compartment and the grid plate.

[0024] In some embodiments of this application, the scraper includes a rubber strip disposed within the basin and abutting against the inner wall of the basin.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, the scraper includes a limiting groove that extends along the length of the scraper; a portion of the rubber strip is pluggably inserted into the limiting groove.

[0026] In summary, the litter box provided in this application, by setting a scraper inside the box, allows the scraper to abut against the excrement inside the box when the box and the scraper rotate relative to each other, causing the excrement to move relative to the box and thus facilitating the excrement to slide out of the opening of the box. This helps to reduce the risk that the excrement cannot slide out normally due to sticking to the inner wall of the box. Attached Figure Description

[0124] The term "embodiment" as used herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment. Where there is no conflict, the various embodiments in this application can be combined with each other.

[0125] It should be noted that the thickness, length, width, and other dimensions of various components in the embodiments of this application shown in the accompanying drawings, as well as the overall thickness, length, width, and other dimensions of the integrated device, are merely illustrative examples and should not constitute any limitation on this application.

[0126] The embodiments of this application will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0127] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a cat litter box 100, including a base 10, a basin body 20, a first driving device 31, and a scraper assembly 40.

[0128] The basin 20 is configured to be rotatably connected to the base 10, and the basin 20 has an opening 21. The basin 20 can be used to hold cat litter and allows the cat to enter and defecate inside it. The cat can enter the basin 20 through the opening 21 or exit the basin 20 through the opening 21.

[0129] The first driving device 31 is disposed on the base 10 and connected to the litter box 20. The first driving device 31 is used to drive the litter box 20 to rotate relative to the base 10. Specifically, the first driving device 31 is used to drive the litter box 20 to rotate relative to the base 10 along a first direction X or a second direction Y opposite to the first direction X. During the rotation of the litter box 20 relative to the base 10, the litter box 100 has a first state and a second state.

[0130] When the litter box 100 is in the first state, the opening 21 of the box body 20 faces upward, allowing the cat to enter the box body 20 through the opening 21 to defecate or climb out of the box body 20. The first state is the normal use state of the litter box 100.

[0131] When the litter box 100 is in the second state, the opening 21 of the box body 20 is tilted downwards, and the excrement inside the box body 20 can slide out from the opening 21. The second state is the cleaning state in which the litter box 100 automatically cleans up the excrement.

[0132] When the litter box 100 is in the first state, and the first drive device 31 drives the basin body 20 to rotate in the first direction X, the opening 21 of the basin body 20 changes from facing upward to tilting downward, until the litter box 100 switches to the second state.

[0133] When the litter box 100 is in the second state, and the first drive device 31 drives the basin body 20 to rotate in the second direction Y, the opening 21 of the basin body 20 changes from tilted downward to tilted upward until the litter box 100 switches to the first state.

[0134] A scraper assembly 40 is connected to the base 10 and includes a scraper 41, at least a portion of which is located within the litter box 20. During the transition of the litter box 100 from a first state to a second state, or when the litter box 100 is in the second state, the litter box 20 and the scraper 41 can rotate relative to each other, causing the scraper 41 to contact and abut against the excrement within the litter box 20, separating the excrement from the litter box 20 and allowing it to slide out of the litter box 20 through the opening 21. The excrement can be feces or litter clumps formed from the cat's urine.

[0135] In the litter box 100 provided in this application, a scraper 41 is provided inside the basin 20. When the basin 20 and the scraper 41 rotate relative to each other, the scraper 41 can abut against the excrement located inside the basin 20, so that the excrement moves relative to the basin 20. This facilitates the excrement to slide out from the opening 21 of the basin 20 when the litter box 100 is in the second state, thereby realizing automatic cleaning of excrement. This helps to reduce the risk that the excrement cannot slide out normally due to the excrement sticking to the inner wall of the basin 20, and improves the intelligence level of the litter box 100.

[0136] In one embodiment, the first driving device 31 includes a first driving motor 311, which is connected to the base 10 and the basin 20 and is used to drive the basin 20 to rotate relative to the base 10.

[0137] In one embodiment, the first driving device 31 further includes a first transmission assembly 312, which connects the first driving motor 311 and the basin 20, serving as a power transmission component. In one embodiment, the first transmission assembly 312 is a gear set, and a driven gear 22 is provided on the basin 20. The driven gear 22 meshes with the gear set, and the first driving motor 311 controls the rotation of the basin 20 through the gear set, which helps to improve the transmission efficiency and reliability of the first driving device 31. In other embodiments, the first transmission assembly 312 may also be a chain assembly or a linkage assembly.

[0138] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the base 10 is provided with a through first hole 11, at least a portion of which is located below the litter box 20. When the litter box 100 is in the second state, the opening 21 of the litter box 20 is tilted downwards and located above the first through hole 11. At this time, if excrement in the litter box 20 slides down from the opening 21, it can pass through the first through hole 11 and fall into the designated area below the first through hole 11.

[0139] In one embodiment, the base 10 includes an upper base 12 and a lower base 13 arranged vertically and connected to each other. A first through hole 11 passes through the upper base 12 and the lower base 13. The upper base 12 is used to support and connect the litter box 20. In this embodiment, the base 10 is designed as an upper base 12 and a lower base 13, which helps to reduce the processing and manufacturing cost of the litter box 100.

[0140] In one embodiment, the base 10 further includes a ramp (not shown), which connects to the first through hole 11 and surrounds the area above the first through hole 11. When the litter box 100 is in the second state, there is a certain probability that excrement will slide from the opening 21 onto the ramp. In this case, the ramp can act as a guide, allowing the excrement to slide down into the first through hole 11 under the influence of gravity, reducing the risk of excrement falling outside the designated area.

[0141] In one embodiment, the litter box 100 further includes a collection box 50, which is connected to the lower base 13 and located below the first through hole 11. When the litter box 100 is in the second state, if excrement in the litter box 20 slides down from the opening 21, it can pass through the first through hole 11 and fall into the collection box 50. The collection box 50 can be used to collect a large amount of excrement, and the user only needs to clean the collection box 50 to complete the cleaning of the excrement, which greatly facilitates the user.

[0142] In one embodiment, the collection box 50 is detachably connected to the lower base 13. By designing the collection box 50 to be detachable, after the collection box 50 has collected a large amount of excrement, the user can remove the collection box 50 from the lower base 13 to clean up the excrement, making it convenient for the user.

[0143] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the storage box 50 includes a first receiving slot 51, a second receiving slot 52, and a partition 53, with the partition 53 located between the first receiving slot 51 and the second receiving slot 52. When the storage box 50 is located in a preset position within the litter box 100, the first receiving slot 51, the partition 53, and the second receiving slot 52 are arranged laterally, with portions of the first receiving slot 51, portions of the second receiving slot 52, and the partition 53 located below the first through hole 11.

[0144] Understandably, if the storage box 50 does not have a partition 53, a large amount of excrement may accumulate in the same area, forming a small hill-like shape, while the edge areas of the storage box 50 may have little or no excrement, resulting in low utilization of the storage box 50 and requiring frequent cleaning. In this embodiment, a partition 53 and first and second receiving slots 51 and 52 on both sides of the storage box 50 are provided. If excrement slides from the first through-hole 11 into the storage box 50, it can fall directly into the first receiving slot 51, or directly into the second receiving slot 52, or it can first contact the partition 53 and then fall into either the first or second receiving slot 51. This helps prevent excrement from accumulating in the same location within the storage box 50, improving its utilization efficiency and reducing the frequency of cleaning.

[0145] In one embodiment, the upper end of the storage box 50 and the side wall of the lower base 13 abut against each other, which can prevent odors inside the storage box 50 from escaping from the gap between the storage box 50 and the bottom wall to a certain extent.

[0146] In one embodiment, when the litter box 100 is in the first state, the opening 21 of the basin 20 faces upward, and the side wall of the basin 20 covers the first through hole 11, which can prevent the odor from overflowing from the storage box 50 to a certain extent. However, some odor will still be emitted from the gap between the base 10 and the basin 20, affecting the surrounding environment.

[0147] In one embodiment, the litter box 100 further includes a baffle 60 configured to be rotatably connected to the base 10 and movably connected to the litter box 20. The baffle 60 is used to shield and block the first through hole 11 to reduce the leakage of odors from the storage box 50.

[0148] Furthermore, by rotating the baffle 60, it can be switched between two states: covering the first through hole 11 and opening the first through hole 11. Specifically, when the litter box 100 is in the first state, the baffle 60 is located between the litter box 20 and the base 10 or between the base 10 and the storage box 50, covering the first through hole 11. This is the normal usage state of the litter box 100. By setting the baffle 60 to cover the first through hole 11, it helps to reduce the overflow of odors from the storage box 50 and reduce the impact of odors from the storage box 50 on the environment. When the litter box 100 is in the second state, the baffle 60 is separated from the first through hole 11 or partially covers the first through hole 11. At this time, the excrement in the litter box 20 can fall into the storage box 50 through the opening 21 and the first through hole 11.

[0149] In one embodiment, the shape of the baffle 60 is adapted to the outer contour of the basin 20 or the inner contour of the upper base 12 to improve its effect of shielding the first through hole 11 and reduce the overflow of odors.

[0150] In one embodiment, the rotation of the baffle 60 is driven by the basin 20. Specifically, when the basin 20 rotates along the first direction X, it can drive the baffle 60 to rotate synchronously.

[0151] like Figure 2 , Figures 9 to 12 As shown, in one embodiment, the litter box 20 includes a first connecting portion 23, and the baffle 60 includes a second connecting portion 61. When the litter box 100 is in the first state, and the litter box 20 rotates along the first direction X, the first connecting portion 23 can abut against the second connecting portion 61, causing the litter box 20 to drive the baffle 60 to rotate synchronously, thereby switching the baffle 60 from a position that covers the first through hole 11 to a position that opens the first through hole 11.

[0152] In one embodiment, the first connecting part 23 protrudes from the outer side of the basin 20, and the second connecting part 61 is a protrusion or block on the baffle 60, which helps to improve the connection reliability between the basin 20 and the baffle 60.

[0153] like Figure 2 , Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, in one embodiment, the first connecting part 23 protrudes from the outer side of the basin body 20, and the baffle 60 includes a through elongated hole 62. The first connecting part 23 is inserted into the elongated hole 62, and the end of the elongated hole 62 along the first direction X forms a second connecting part 61. When the litter box 100 is in the first state and the basin body 20 rotates along the first direction X, the first connecting part 23 rotates in the elongated hole 62 toward the second connecting part 61 until it abuts against the second connecting part 61, and drives the baffle 60 to rotate synchronously along the first direction X until the litter box 100 switches to the second state. The baffle 60 moves to a position that does not block the first through hole 11. At this time, the excrement in the basin body 20 can slide from the opening 21 and the first through hole 11 into the storage box 50. In this embodiment, by providing a through elongated hole 62 on the baffle 60, the first connecting part 23 is inserted into the elongated hole 62, which helps to improve the stability and reliability of the connection between the basin body 20 and the baffle 60.

[0154] In one embodiment, when the litter box 100 is in the second state and the box body 20 rotates along the second direction Y, the force exerted by the first connecting part 23 on the second connecting part 61 decreases or disappears, and the baffle 60 rotates along the second direction Y under the action of gravity until it rotates to a position that completely covers the first through hole 11.

[0155] In one embodiment, when the litter box 100 is in the second state and the box body 20 rotates along the second direction Y, it can drive the baffle 60 to rotate along the second direction Y, so that the baffle 60 rotates to a position that completely covers the first through hole 11. In this embodiment, the rotational driving force of the box body 20 drives the baffle 60 to return to the position that completely covers the first through hole 11, which helps to reduce the risk that the baffle 60 cannot return to the position that covers the first through hole 11 due to jamming, and improves the reliability of the baffle 60.

[0156] In one embodiment, the baffle 60 further includes a third connecting part 63. When the litter box 100 is in the second state and the box body 20 rotates in the second direction Y, the first connecting part 23 can abut against the third connecting part 63, so that the box body 20 can drive the baffle 60 to rotate in the second direction Y.

[0157] In one embodiment, the third connecting part 63 is a protrusion or block (not shown) on the baffle 60, which helps to improve the connection reliability between the basin 20 and the baffle 60.

[0158] In one embodiment, the baffle 60 includes a through elongated hole 62. A first connecting portion 23 is inserted into the elongated hole 62. The end of the elongated hole 62 along the first direction X forms a second connecting portion 61, and the end of the elongated hole 62 along the second direction Y forms a third connecting portion 63. When the litter box 100 is in the second state, and the box body 20 rotates along the second direction Y, the first connecting portion 23 rotates within the elongated hole 62 toward the third connecting portion 63 until it abuts against the third connecting portion 63, and drives the baffle 60 to rotate synchronously along the second direction Y until the litter box 100 switches to the first state, at which point the baffle 60 moves to a position that covers the first through hole 11. In this embodiment, by providing a through elongated hole 62 on the baffle 60, and inserting the first connecting portion 23 into the elongated hole 62, the rotation of the box body 20 along the first direction X or the second direction Y can drive the baffle 60 to rotate synchronously, which is beneficial to improving the stability and reliability of the connection between the box body 20 and the baffle 60.

[0159] In one embodiment, a fourth connecting part (not shown) may also be provided on the basin body 20, wherein when the basin body 20 rotates along the first direction X, the first connecting part 23 abuts against the second connecting part 61, and when the basin body 20 rotates along the second direction Y, the fourth connecting part and the third connecting part 63 abut against each other.

[0160] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figures 15 to 17 As shown, in one embodiment, the scraper 41 is fixedly connected to the basin 20, which helps to improve the connection stability and reliability between the scraper 41 and the basin 20.

[0161] In one embodiment, the scraper 41 is detachably connected to the basin 20. By designing the scraper 41 to be detachable, the user can remove the scraper 41 for cleaning, thereby improving the convenience of cleaning the scraper 41.

[0162] In one embodiment, the scraper 41 includes a rubber strip 411 that abuts against the inner wall of the basin 20. The rubber strip 411 has a certain degree of elasticity, allowing it to abut against the inner wall of the basin 20 during scraping. This not only ensures effective removal of excrement but also reduces the risk of jamming between the scraper 41 and the basin 20 due to the elastic deformation capacity of the rubber strip 411.

[0163] In one embodiment, the rubber strip 411 may be made of silicone or other soft and elastic materials. This application does not specifically limit the material of the rubber strip 411.

[0164] In one embodiment, the scraper 41 further includes a body 412, to which a rubber strip 411 is mounted. The body 412 has a higher hardness than the rubber strip 411, providing support for the rubber strip 411 and preventing excessive deformation that could affect the scraping effect. In one embodiment, the body 412 can be made of plastic, metal, or alloy.

[0165] In one embodiment, the rubber strip 411 is fixedly connected to the body 412.

[0166] In one embodiment, the rubber strip 411 is detachably connected to the body 412, so that the rubber strip 411 can be removed separately for easy cleaning.

[0167] In one embodiment, the body 412 includes a limiting groove 4121, which extends along the length of the scraper 41. A portion of the rubber strip 411 is pluggably inserted into the limiting groove 4121. This design not only makes the rubber strip 411 detachable but also allows the body 412 to limit and connect the rubber strip 411 via the limiting groove 4121, improving the stability and reliability of the rubber strip 411 and the body 412 in the connected state.

[0168] Furthermore, along the length of the scraper 41, the end of the limiting groove 4121 is designed to be open, so that the rubber strip 411 can be inserted into the limiting groove 4121 through the open end of the limiting groove 4121, or pulled out from the limiting groove 4121, which facilitates the assembly or disassembly of the rubber strip 411.

[0169] In one embodiment, the cross-section of the limiting groove 4121 can be L-shaped or T-shaped to limit the connection of the rubber strip 411 and prevent the rubber strip 411 from detaching from its interior.

[0170] In one embodiment, the litter box 100 further includes a limiting component 70, which connects the base 10 and the scraper assembly 40. The limiting component 70 is used to limit the scraper 41 to the base 10 or the box body 20.

[0171] In one embodiment, the scraper assembly 40 further includes a first limiting member 42, which is detachably or rotatably connected to the scraper 41. When the first limiting member 42 and the scraper 41 are connected, they can rotate synchronously along a first direction X or a second direction Y. Furthermore, when the first limiting member 42 and the scraper 41 are rotatably connected, the rotation axis of the first limiting member 42 relative to the scraper 41 is approximately perpendicular to the rotation axis of the scraper 41 relative to the basin 20. Here, approximately perpendicular means the included angle is between 75° and 90°.

[0172] In one embodiment, the scraper 41 includes a first limiting hole 413. The first limiting member 42 includes a limiting portion 421, and the first limiting member 42 has a locked state and an unlocked state relative to the scraper 41. Specifically, when the first limiting member 42 is in the locked state, the limiting portion 421 is inserted into the first limiting hole 413. Disassembling or rotating the first limiting member 42 away from the first limiting hole 413 can release the first limiting member 42 from the locked state, at which time the first limiting member 42 is in the unlocked state.

[0173] When the first limiting member 42 is in the locked state, the limiting part 421 is inserted into the first limiting hole 413 and is engaged with the limiting assembly 70. The limiting assembly 70 restricts the rotation of the first limiting member 42 through the connection with the limiting part 421. The first limiting member 42 and the scraper 41 are interconnected and can rotate synchronously along the first direction X or the second direction Y. The first limiting member 42 can further restrict the rotation of the scraper 41 along the first direction X or the second direction Y.

[0174] When the first limiting member 42 is in the unlocked state, the limiting part 421 and the first limiting hole 413 are separated from each other, and the limiting part 421 and the limiting assembly 70 are separated. At this time, the scraper 41 can not only rotate relative to the basin 20 in the first direction X or the second direction Y, but also move relative to the basin 20. The scraper 41 can be separated from the basin 20 by lifting the scraper 41.

[0175] In this embodiment, by assembling or rotating the first limiting member 42, the limiting portion 421 on the first limiting member 42 connects to the limiting component 70 within the first limiting hole 413, thus limiting and fixing the scraper 41. Furthermore, by disassembling or rotating the first limiting member 42, the limiting portion 421 and the limiting component 70 can be separated, releasing the scraper 41, which can then be separated from the basin body 20. This embodiment not only allows the scraper 41 to be detachably connected to the basin body 20, but also provides convenient assembly and disassembly, reducing the difficulty of use for users and improving the ease of cleaning the scraper 41.

[0176] like Figure 2 , Figures 17 to 22 As shown, in one embodiment, the limiting component 70 includes a second limiting member 71. When the limiting portion 421 of the first limiting member 42 is inserted into the first limiting hole 413, the limiting portion 421 and the second limiting member 71 are connected to each other, so that the first limiting member 42 and the limiting component 70 are connected to each other, thereby limiting and fixing the scraper 41.

[0177] In one embodiment, the limiting part 421 and the second limiting member 71 are engaged or plugged into each other, and at the same time, the limiting part 421 and the first limiting hole 413 are engaged with each other, so that the rotation of the scraper 41 is restricted.

[0178] In one embodiment, the outer contour of the limiting part 421 is rectangular, and the second limiting member 71 has a hole with a rectangular inner contour. The two are adapted to each other so that the limiting part 421 and the second limiting member 71 can be locked together.

[0179] In one embodiment, the basin 20 includes a through second hole 24, which communicates with a first limiting hole 413. The scraper 41 is located on the side of the second through hole 24 facing inwards from the basin 20, and a portion of the second limiting member 71 is located on the side of the second through hole 24 facing outwards from the basin 20. A portion of the second limiting member 71 and a portion of the limiting part 421 are inserted into the second through hole 24 or the first limiting hole 413, and the second limiting member 71 and the limiting part 421 are interconnected. In this embodiment, the first limiting member 42 and the second limiting member 71 are interconnected, clamping and limiting the scraper 41 and the side wall of the basin 20, which helps to improve the stability and reliability of the first limiting member 42 and the second limiting member 71 in limiting and fixing the scraper 41.

[0180] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the second limiting member 71 and the inner wall of the second through hole 24 are engaged with each other (not shown), so that the rotation of the second limiting member 71 is restricted by the basin 20, and thus the rotation of the first limiting member 42 and the scraper 41 is restricted.

[0181] In one embodiment, the limiting component 70 includes a latch 72 located on the side of the second limiting member 71 opposite to the scraper 41. The first end 721 of the latch 72 is rotatably connected to the second limiting member 71, and the second end 722 of the latch 72 is detachably latched to the base 10. When the connection between the latch 72 and the base 10 is released, rotating or pulling the latch 72 causes the second limiting member 71 to leave the second through hole 24, separating the second limiting member 71 from the first limiting member 42. Further disassembly or rotation of the first limiting member 42 separates the limiting portion 421 from the first limiting hole 413, and the scraper 41 is in an unlocked state. When the latch 72 and the base 10 are in a latched state, both the latch 72 and the second limiting member 71 are fixed relative to the base 10, and the second limiting member 71 and the first limiting member 42 are in a stable latched state, stably clamping and limiting the scraper 41. In this embodiment, by setting the buckle 72, it is beneficial to assemble and disassemble the limiting component 70, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of assembling and disassembling the scraper 41.

[0182] In one embodiment, the limiting component 70 further includes a cover 73, which is located on the side of the second limiting member 71 opposite to the scraper 41 and is detachably connected to the base 10. When the cover 73 is connected to the base 10, the cover 73 presses against the side of the buckle 72 facing outwards from the basin 20. In this embodiment, by setting the cover 73 to press against the outer side of the buckle 72, the risk of the buckle 72 separating from the base 10 due to shaking or vibration is reduced, thereby improving the connection stability and reliability between the buckle 72 and the base 10.

[0183] In one embodiment, the inner side of the cover 73 has a receiving space 731, the inner contour of which is adapted to the outer contour of the buckle 72 for receiving the buckle 72. Furthermore, the cover 73 also limits the buckle 72 by the side wall of the receiving space 731, restricting its rotation, which is beneficial to further improve the connection stability and reliability between the buckle 72 and the base 10.

[0184] like Figure 2 , Figure 23 and Figure 24 As shown, in one embodiment, the basin 20 includes a through second through hole 24, which communicates with a first limiting hole 413, and the scraper 41 is located on the side of the second through hole 24 facing the inside of the basin 20.

[0185] The limiting assembly 70 includes a third limiting member 74 and a cover 73. A portion of the third limiting member 74 is located on the side of the second through hole 24 away from the scraper 41, and a portion of the third limiting member 74 is located inside the second through hole 24 and engages with the limiting part 421 to limit the rotation of the scraper 41.

[0186] The cover 73 is located on the side of the second through hole 24 away from the scraper 41 and is detachably connected to the base 10 and the third limiting member 74. The cover 73 is connected to the portion of the third limiting member 74 located outside the second through hole 24 and is used to limit the rotation of the third limiting member 74. In this embodiment, a portion of the third limiting member 74 is located inside the second through hole 24 and engages with the limiting part 421. The portion of the third limiting part 421 located outside the second through hole 24 is connected to and limited by the cover 73, so that both the third limiting member 74 and the first limiting member 42 are stably connected to the basin 20 or the base 10, thereby limiting the rotation of the scraper 41 and improving the connection stability and reliability between the scraper 41 and the base 10. Furthermore, the cover 73 is detachably connected to the base 10, making it convenient for the user to disassemble or install the limiting component 70 and the scraper component 40.

[0187] In one embodiment, the base 10 is provided with a limiting groove 15, and the end of the third limiting member 74 is inserted into the limiting groove 15. The limiting groove 15 is used to limit the rotation of the third limiting member 74 along the first direction X or the second direction Y, thereby limiting the rotation of the first limiting member 42 and the scraper 41.

[0188] like Figure 2 and Figure 25 As shown, in one embodiment, the basin 20 includes a through second through hole 24, which communicates with a first limiting hole 413, and the scraper 41 is located on the side of the second through hole 24 facing the inside of the basin 20.

[0189] The limiting component 70 includes a cover 73. A portion of the cover 73 is located within the second through hole 24 and engages with the limiting portion 421 to restrict the rotation of the scraper 41. A portion of the cover 73 is located on the side of the second through hole 24 away from the scraper 41 and is inserted into the base 10. In this embodiment, the cover 73 is inserted into the base 10, thus restricting the rotation of the cover 73. The portion of the cover 73 located within the second through hole 24 engages with the limiting portion 421, thereby restricting the rotation of the first limiting member 42 and the scraper 41. Furthermore, the limiting portion 421 of the first limiting member 42 is inserted into the first limiting hole 413 and the second through hole 24, thus restricting the movement of the scraper 41 relative to the basin 20, ensuring a stable connection between the scraper 41 and the basin 20. This embodiment has a relatively simple structure and fewer parts, which helps reduce the manufacturing cost of the litter box 100 and simplifies the assembly or disassembly process of the limiting component 70 and the scraper component 40, making it easier to operate.

[0190] like Figure 2 and Figure 26 As shown, in one embodiment, the basin 20 includes a through second through hole 24, which is connected to a first limiting hole 413. The scraper 41 is located on the side of the second through hole 24 facing the inside of the basin 20, and the limiting part 421 is inserted into the first limiting hole 413 and the second through hole 24.

[0191] The litter box 100 also includes a second drive assembly 32, which is connected to the base 10 and the limiting part 421. The second drive assembly 32 can drive the limiting part 421 to rotate, thereby driving the scraper 41 to rotate through the first limiting part 42, so that the scraper 41 rotates relative to the basin body 20. In this embodiment, by setting the second drive assembly 32, the scraper 41 can actively rotate relative to the basin body 20, which helps to improve the effect of the scraper 41 scraping off the adhering excrement and improve the effect of the litter box 100 in removing excrement from the basin body 20.

[0192] In one embodiment, the second drive assembly 32 includes a second drive motor 321 and a gear assembly 322, with the gear assembly 322 drivingly connected to the drive motor and the limiting part 421. In this embodiment, the scraper 41 is driven to rotate by the transmission combination of the second drive motor 321 and the gear assembly 322, which is beneficial for accurately controlling the angular velocity and angle range of the scraper 41 rotation and improving its effect of scraping off excrement.

[0193] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 27 and Figure 28 As shown, in one embodiment, the litter box 100 further includes a foot pedal 81, which is connected to the outer wall of the base 10 and is used for the cat to step on to enter or exit the litter box 20. By providing the foot pedal 81, it is easier for the cat to enter and exit the litter box 20. Furthermore, when the cat exits the litter box 20, stepping on the foot pedal 81 as a transition releases the litter brought out by its footsteps onto the foot pedal 81, which helps reduce the amount of litter falling to the ground and makes it easier for the user to clean.

[0194] In one embodiment, the foot pedal 81 is detachably connected to the base 10. Designing the foot pedal 81 as detachable facilitates cleaning. Furthermore, for smaller cats, the foot pedal 81 can be installed for them to enter and exit the litter box 20; for larger cats that do not require the foot pedal 81, the foot pedal 81 can be removed, reducing the space occupied by the litter box 100 and improving its compatibility with different cats and usage scenarios.

[0195] In one embodiment, the litter box 100 further includes a fixing member 82, which is fixedly connected to the base 10, and the foot pedal 81 is detachably connected to the fixing member 82. By setting the fixing member 82 to connect the foot pedal 81 and the base 10, the foot pedal 81 can be detachably connected to the base 10, which helps to reduce the processing and manufacturing cost of the litter box 100.

[0196] In one embodiment, the fastener 82 includes a groove 821 and a support 822 connected to each other. The groove 821 includes a first segment 8211 and a second segment 8212 connected to each other. The first segment 8211 and the second segment 722 are arranged laterally and communicate with each other. The second segment 8212 is closer to the inner side of the basin 20 than the first segment 8211.

[0197] The foot pedal 81 includes a foot pedal body 811 and a protrusion 812 connected to each other. The foot pedal body 811 is the main part of the foot pedal 81 and is used for cats to step on. The protrusion 812 is inserted into the slide groove 821 and can move between the first section 8211 and the second section 8212.

[0198] When the protrusion 812 is located in the first section 8211, the foot pedal 81 and the support part 822 are separated, and the foot pedal 81 can rotate relative to the fixing part 82 and the base 10 so that the foot pedal body 811 is in a horizontal state for the cat to step on and in a vertical state for easy storage.

[0199] When the protrusion 812 is located in the second section 8212, the pedal body 811 is in a horizontal state, and at least a portion of the pedal body 811 is located above the support 822 and is connected to the support 822. At this time, the foot pedal 81 is in an assembled state for the cat to step on, and the foot pedal 81 is stably connected to the base 10 by the support of the support 822.

[0200] In one embodiment, the fixing member 82 includes two sliding grooves 821, which are spaced apart along a direction perpendicular to the extending direction of the sliding grooves 821, and the support portion 822 is located between the second segments 8212 of the two sliding grooves 821. The foot pedal 81 includes two protrusions 812, which are respectively inserted into the two sliding grooves 821. When both protrusions 812 are in the first segment 8211 and the pedal body 811 is in a vertical state, the two first segments 8211 support the corresponding protrusions 812, so that the pedal body 811 is vertically suspended from the fixing member 82. When both protrusions 812 are in the second segment 8212 and the pedal body 811 is above the support portion 822, the two second segments 8212 and the support portion 822 cooperate to support the foot pedal 81, so that the pedal body 811 is horizontally and stably connected to the base 10. In this embodiment, by setting two sliding grooves 821 to support and limit the foot pedal 81, it is beneficial to improve the stability and reliability of the foot pedal 81 connecting to the base 10.

[0201] like Figures 29 to 31 As shown, in one embodiment, the upper surface of the base 10 includes a second limiting hole 14. The litter box 100 also includes a connector 83, which includes an interlocking insertion portion 831 and a fifth connecting portion 832. At least a portion of the insertion portion 831 is located above the upper surface of the base 10 and is detachably inserted into the second limiting hole 14. The fifth connecting portion 832 is located on the outer side wall of the base 10 and is connected to the foot pedal 81. When the insertion portion 831 is inserted into the second limiting hole 14, pulling the connector 83 or the foot pedal 81 upwards can separate the insertion portion 831 from the second limiting hole 14. At this time, the foot pedal 81 and the connector 83 are separated from the base 10, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the litter box 100 and facilitates cleaning of the foot pedal 81. Furthermore, when the plug part 831 is inserted into the second limiting hole 14 and abuts against the upper surface of the base 10, the foot pedal 81 is connected to the base 10 through the connector 83, and the foot pedal 81 is in the assembled state.

[0202] In one embodiment, the foot pedal 81 is fixedly connected to the fifth connecting part 832. The foot pedal 81 and the connecting part 83 can be assembled or integrally connected.

[0203] In one embodiment, the foot pedal 81 is hinged to the fifth connecting part 832. When the foot pedal 81 is assembled and connected to the base 10 via the connector 83, the foot pedal 81 hangs down naturally under the action of gravity, a part of the foot pedal 81 abuts against the side wall, and the pedal body 811 for the cat to step on extends horizontally, with the pedal body 811 in a state for the cat to step on. At this time, part of the structure of the foot pedal 81 is arranged laterally with the storage box 50, and this part of the structure can cover the storage box 50, providing protection and concealment for the storage box 50.

[0204] Furthermore, by rotating the foot pedal 81 upwards, the foot pedal 81 can be lifted up, exposing the storage box 50. At this time, the user can take out the storage box 50 or put it into the base 10.

[0205] In one embodiment, the foot pedal 81 includes a plurality of pedal bodies 811. When the foot pedal 81 is in the assembled state for the cat to step on, the plurality of pedal bodies 811 are arranged in a stepped manner, which is beneficial for smaller cats to enter and exit the basin 20.

[0206] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the basin 20 includes a first compartment 25 and a second compartment 26, and along the second direction Y, the second compartment 26 is closer to the opening 21 than the first compartment 25.

[0207] The litter box 100 also includes a grid plate 27, which is connected to the bottom wall and the top surface of the box body 20 and is located between the first compartment 25 and the second compartment 26. The grid plate 27 includes a plurality of third through holes 271, which are configured to allow litter particles to pass through but not to allow cat excrement to pass through.

[0208] When the litter box 100 is in its first state, at least a portion of the first compartment 25 is located below the second compartment 26 and the grid plate 27, at which point the litter is mainly concentrated in the first compartment 25. As the litter box 20 rotates along the first direction X, the first compartment 25 gradually rises, and the second compartment 26 gradually lowers. Under the influence of gravity, the litter in the first compartment 25 gradually enters the second compartment 26 through the third through-hole 271, while the excrement in the first compartment 25 rolls onto the grid plate 27 under the influence of gravity.

[0209] When the litter box 20 continues to rotate in the first direction X until the litter box 100 is in the second state, at least a portion of the second compartment 26 is located below the first compartment 25 and the grid plate 27, and at least a portion of the opening 21 is located below the grid plate 27 and the first compartment 25. All the litter in the first compartment 25 rolls into the second compartment 26, and the excrement rolls into the storage box 50 through the grid plate 27 and the opening 21.

[0210] When the litter box 100 is in the second state, and the box body 20 rotates in the second direction Y, the second chamber 26 gradually rises and the first chamber 25 gradually falls. The litter in the second chamber 26 rolls into the first chamber 25 through the third through hole 271.

[0211] In this way, the litter box 100 will switch from the first state to the second state and then back to the first state, completing a full process of cleaning up excrement.

[0212] In one embodiment, the litter box 20 further includes an extension 28, which connects the upper surface of the litter box 20 and the grid plate 27, and the extension 28 forms part of the side wall of the second compartment 26. When the litter box 100 is in the second state, the extension 28 is used to stop the litter located in the second compartment 26, preventing the litter in the second compartment 26 from slipping out of the opening 21.

[0213] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be covered within the scope of this application.
