Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of this utility model belong to the field of pet supplies, and specifically relate to a quick-release structure, a basin body mechanism, 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 cat litter boxes, to ensure that excrement and clumps in the litter can be effectively separated when the box is tilted and emptied, a litter cleaning component is usually installed inside the box. However, the inventor discovered that because the litter cleaning component is generally not removable from the box, it is difficult to clean both the component and the box. This leads to the accumulation of dirt and grime, which can easily breed bacteria. As a result, after prolonged use, the box develops a strong odor, thus affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to design a quick-release structure, a basin body, and a pet litter box, which enables the installation and removal of the litter cleaning component within the basin body. This allows users to easily clean the basin body and the litter cleaning component, effectively inhibiting the growth of bacteria and odors, and improving the user experience.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, some embodiments of this utility model provide a quick-release structure for a pet litter box. The quick-release structure is used for installing the litter cleaning component of the pet litter box inside the box, so that the litter cleaning component is detachably connected to the box body.

[0006] In addition, some embodiments of this utility model also provide a litter box body mechanism, including:

[0007] Basin body; the basin body is provided with a basin opening;

[0008] A sand removal component is installed inside the basin to divide the space inside the basin into a toilet area and a sand storage area.

[0009] The quick-release structure described above is used for the detachable connection between the sand cleaning assembly and the basin body.

[0010] In addition, some embodiments of this utility model also provide a pet litter box, which includes:

[0011] Base;

[0012] The basin mechanism described above is disposed on the base; wherein the basin is rotatable relative to the base.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model have the advantage that the quick-release structure can be used to install the sand cleaning component in the basin, allowing the sand cleaning component to be quickly installed and removed from the basin. This allows users to clean the basin and the sand cleaning component separately, avoiding dirt and grime buildup on the sand cleaning component and the basin, and effectively inhibiting the growth of bacteria and odors, thereby improving the user experience.

[0021] 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.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] The first embodiment of this utility model relates to a quick-release structure for a pet litter box, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the quick-release structure 1 is used for the installation of the sand cleaning component 2 of the pet litter box inside the box body 3, so that the sand cleaning component 2 and the box body 3 can be detachably connected.

[0024] As can be seen from the above, since the quick-release structure 1 can be used to install the sand cleaning component inside the basin 3, the sand cleaning component 2 can be quickly installed and removed from the basin 3. This allows users to clean the basin 3 and the sand cleaning component 2 separately, avoiding dirt and grime buildup on the sand cleaning component 2 and the basin 3, and effectively inhibiting the growth of bacteria and odors, thereby improving the user experience.

[0025] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the quick-release structure 1 includes a connector 11 and a plug 12. The connector 11 is disposed on the sand-cleaning assembly 2, while the plug 12 is disposed within the basin body 3. The connector 11 and the plug 12 are interlocking, allowing the sand-cleaning assembly 2 to be fixed within the basin body 3. For example, in some embodiments, such as... Figure 1 As shown, connector 11 can be a separate component and detachably mounted on the sand-cleaning assembly 2. Alternatively, in some embodiments, connector 11 can be integrally formed with the sand-cleaning assembly 2. Similarly, corresponding to the structural characteristics of connector 11, in some embodiments, connector 12 can also be a separate component and detachably mounted inside the basin 3. Alternatively, in some embodiments, connector 12 is integrally formed with the basin 3. Thus, when connector 11 is inserted into connector 12, the sand-cleaning assembly 2 can be installed inside the basin 3. For example, when connector 11 is inserted into connector 12, the sand-cleaning assembly 2 can be inserted into the basin 3 from the basin opening 31, and after being inserted into the basin 3, the sand-cleaning assembly 2 combines with... Figure 2 As shown, the sand-cleaning component 2 can divide the space inside the basin 3 into a toilet area and a sand storage area.

[0026] To accommodate this plug-in characteristic between connector 11 and plug 12, in other embodiments, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the connector 11 includes at least one upper rail 111 disposed on the sand-cleaning assembly 2. Meanwhile, as... Figure 4 As shown, the connector 12 includes at least one lower rail 121 disposed inside the basin 3. The number of upper rails 111 and lower rails 121 are the same and they correspond uniquely. Each upper rail 111 is used to connect with each uniquely corresponding lower rail 121 when the sand cleaning component 2 is inserted into the basin 3 from the basin opening 31, so that the sand cleaning component 2 can be fixed inside the basin 3.

[0027] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, both the upper rail 111 and the lower rail 121 can have two rails. Among them, combined with... Figure 4 As shown, the two lower rails 121 can be arranged radially opposite to each other within the basin body 3, and simultaneously, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the two upper rails 111 correspond to the positions of the two lower rails 121 respectively, and are arranged opposite each other on the sand cleaning component 2. Thus, when the sand cleaning component 2 is inserted into the basin body 3 from the basin opening 31, the two upper rails 111 and the two lower rails 121 can be inserted into each other, thereby completing the fixation of the sand cleaning component 2 in the basin body 3.

[0028] Furthermore, it is worth noting that, in order to enable the upper rail 111 and the lower rail 121 to be plugged into each other, in some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, each lower rail 121 is provided with a lower slot 112 along its length direction, and is combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each lower rail 121 can be inserted into its corresponding lower slot 122 by a unique upper rail 111, and through... Figure 2 It is not difficult to see that the sand-cleaning component 2 is provided with a notch 21 at the position corresponding to the upper rail 111. Therefore, when each upper rail 111 is inserted into the lower slot 122 of the unique lower rail 121, as Figure 2 As shown, the two lower rails 121 fit perfectly into the two notches 21 of the sand-cleaning component 2 and can be integrated with the sand-cleaning component 2. Therefore, when the basin 3 is tilted to pour out waste and / or excrement, it can prevent waste and / or excrement from entering the sand storage area through the gap between the two lower rails 121 and the sand-cleaning component 2, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the sand storage area. Furthermore, it should be noted that the above description only uses the example of setting a lower slot 122 on the lower rail 121. Of course, in other embodiments, upper slots (not shown in the figure) that can be inserted into the lower rails 121 can also be set along the length of each upper rail 111. This way, when the sand-cleaning component 2 is inserted into the basin 3 from the basin opening 31, each lower rail 121 can be inserted into the upper slot of the unique corresponding upper rail 111. In this way, the upper rails 111 and lower rails 121 can be connected to each other, completing the installation of the sand-cleaning component 2 in the basin 3.

[0029] In addition, it is worth mentioning that the connection method of the connector 11 and the plug 12 in the above embodiment is only described by taking the mutual insertion of at least one upper rail 111 and at least one lower rail 121 as an example. In other embodiments, the connector 11 and the plug 12 can also adopt other structures to achieve the insertion. However, the structure of the connector 11 and the plug 12 is not specifically limited here.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] This utility model's second embodiment relates to a litter box body mechanism, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the basin structure includes: a basin body 3, a sand-removing component 2, and a quick-release structure 1. The basin body 3 has a basin opening 31. The sand-removing component 2 is disposed within the basin body 3 and serves to divide the space within the basin body 3 into a toilet area and a sand-collecting area. The quick-release structure 1 provides a detachable connection between the sand-removing component 2 and the basin body 3.

[0032] As can be seen from the above, since the quick-release structure 1 can be used to install the sand cleaning component inside the basin 3, the sand cleaning component 2 can be quickly installed and removed from the basin 3. This allows users to clean the basin 3 and the sand cleaning component 2 separately, avoiding dirt and grime buildup on the sand cleaning component 2 and the basin 3, and effectively inhibiting the growth of bacteria and odors, thereby improving the user experience.

[0033] Specifically, the quick-release structure 1 can be used to install the sand-cleaning assembly 2 inside the basin body 3. For example, as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the quick-release structure 1 is used to allow the sand-cleaning assembly 2 to be inserted into the basin 3 from the basin opening 31. Furthermore, combined with... Figure 3 As shown, the sand cleaning assembly 2 includes at least a sand cleaning plate 26 and a guide plate 22. The sand cleaning plate 26 has a top side 261 and a bottom side 262 opposite to the top side 261, and the sand cleaning plate 26 is distributed with mesh openings (not shown in the figure) for separating clumps, dirt, and / or excrement from pet litter. Furthermore, the aperture size of each mesh opening should be larger than the size of the pet litter grains, but smaller than the size of pet excrement. Thus, when the basin 3 is tilted to perform the dumping action of dirt and / or excrement, the pet litter can enter the sand storage area through the mesh openings on the sand cleaning plate 26, where it is temporarily stored. Dirt, excrement, and / or clumps, because their size is larger than the size of the mesh openings on the sand cleaning plate 26, can be poured out from the basin opening 31 of the basin 3 by means of the sand cleaning plate 26 and the guide plate 22 as the tilting angle of the basin 3 increases, thereby completing the dumping of dirt and / or excrement. Similarly, when the basin 3 finishes emptying the waste and / or excrement and reverses to perform the sand return action, the pet fine sand temporarily stored in the sand storage area can return to the toilet area through the mesh 213 on the sand cleaning plate 26, and the pet fine sand can be laid again in the toilet area.

[0034] Secondly, such as Figure 3 As shown, the guide plate 22 is connected to the top side 261 of the sand cleaning plate 26, and the guide plate 22 is used to guide the clumps, dirt and / or excrement separated from the sand cleaning plate 26 toward the basin opening 31 when the basin body 3 is tilted and dumped. This allows the clumps, dirt and / or excrement to be poured out smoothly from the basin body 3.

[0035] Additionally, as a preferred embodiment, in other embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the sand cleaning assembly 2 also includes a cover plate 23, which is connected to the side of the guide plate 22 away from the sand cleaning plate 26. The cover plate 23 and the guide plate 22 form an obtuse angle, so that when the sand cleaning assembly 2 is connected to the basin body 3, it combines... Figure 2 As shown, the cover plate 23 can be placed over the opening 31 of the basin body 3, so that the cover plate 23 can radially seal the sand storage area of ​​the basin body 3 along the opening 31. It is easy to see that by sealing the sand storage area with the cover plate 23, the basin body 3 can effectively prevent pet sand entering the sand storage area from spilling out from the opening 31 during the process of tipping over and emptying waste and / or excrement. Furthermore, it is worth noting that the cover plate 23 and the guide plate 22 can be integrally formed, and this integral forming method ensures that there are no seams between the cover plate 23 and the guide plate 22, thereby further improving the sealing performance of the cover plate 23 after sealing the sand storage area. Of course, in other embodiments, the cover plate 23 and the guide plate 22 can also be detachably connected, for example, the cover plate 23 and the guide plate 22 can be connected by a snap-fit ​​or by using screws or other locking devices. The specific connection method between the cover plate 23 and the guide plate 22 is not limited here.

[0036] And, through Figure 3 It is not difficult to see that, due to the presence of the cover plate 23, the two upper rails 111 of the connecting member 11 can be connected to the cover plate 23, so that the two upper rails 111 can be arranged opposite to each other along the length of the cover plate 23, thereby realizing the insertion with the two lower rails 121.

[0037] However, as a preferred embodiment, in some other embodiments, the sand-cleaning assembly 2 further includes at least one locking part 24 and at least one second locking part 25. For example, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, each first locking part 24 is disposed on the cover plate 23 and / or guide plate 22, while each second locking part 25 is disposed on the basin body 3. The number of first locking parts 24 is the same as the number of second locking parts 25, and they correspond uniquely. Therefore, after the sand cleaning assembly 2 is installed in the basin body 3 through the quick-release structure, each first locking part 24 is also opposite to each uniquely corresponding second locking part 25, and they can be connected to each other through locking parts, so that the sand cleaning assembly 2 can be locked in the basin body 3, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the sand cleaning assembly 2 installed in the basin body 3.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, each first locking part 24 includes: a bracket 241 connected to the cover plate 23 and the guide plate 22 respectively, and a connecting post 242 disposed on the bracket 241, wherein the connecting post 242 is provided with a first threaded hole 243. The structure of the corresponding first locking part 24 is as follows: Figure 4As shown, the second locking part 25 includes a boss 251 formed by protruding from the inner surface of the basin 3 towards the connecting post 242 on one side of the basin 3 relative to the connecting post 242. The boss 251 has a second threaded hole 252 that extends towards the outer surface of the basin 3 until it penetrates the outer surface of the basin 3. Therefore, after the sand-cleaning assembly 2 is installed in the basin 3 via the quick-release structure 1, a screw can be screwed from the second threaded hole 252 on the outer surface of the basin 3 into the first threaded hole 243 of the first locking part 24. This allows the boss 251 to be connected to the connecting post 242 via the screw, thus locking the sand-cleaning assembly 2 in the basin 3 and further improving the stability and reliability of the sand-cleaning assembly 2 within the basin 3.

[0039] Example 3

[0040] Embodiment 3 of this utility model relates to a pet litter box, such as... Figure 7 As shown, the pet litter box includes: a base 4, a litter box mechanism as described in Embodiment 1, and a litter collection device 5.

[0041] The basin 3 is mounted on the base 4 and can be flipped relative to the base 4. In addition, the toilet 5 is mounted at the bottom of the base 4 and can receive the waste, excrement and / or clumps poured out from the basin 3 when the basin 3 is flipped over to pour out waste and / or excrement.

[0042] 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.
