Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cat litter box technology, specifically an automatic cat litter box. Background Technology

[0002] With the acceleration of urbanization and the fast pace of life, more and more families are choosing to keep pets for companionship. However, when pet owners are unable to care for their pets for extended periods due to work, travel, or other reasons, the demand for pet boarding is gradually increasing. Shared pet boarding stations have emerged to provide temporary boarding services for pet owners. In boarding stations, the daily management of pets is particularly important, especially the handling of their waste.

[0003] Traditional litter boxes require manual cleaning, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but can also lead to hygiene problems due to delayed cleaning, affecting the environment of both the pets and the boarding facility. Furthermore, manual cleaning of litter boxes is inefficient and cannot meet the needs of multiple pets in shared pet boarding facilities. Therefore, developing a device that can automatically clean litter boxes is key to solving this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic litter box to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic cat litter box, comprising a base, a fixing groove, and a storage box. The fixing groove is provided on the left side of the base, and the storage box is provided inside the base. An inclined plate is installed inside the storage box. A fixing cylinder plate is installed on the left side above the storage box. A sliding cylinder plate is provided inside the fixing cylinder plate. An automatic telescopic rod is installed inside the fixing cylinder plate and the sliding cylinder plate. A discharge device is installed above the base. An automatic feeder is installed on the left side above the discharge device. The left side of the automatic feeder is installed on the left side above the base. The sliding cylinder plate is located inside a sealing groove.

[0006] The discharge device includes a housing, a fixed cylinder, and a bearing. The housing is mounted on top of the base, and the fixed cylinder is located inside the housing. The left side of the outer wall of the fixed cylinder is connected to the inner wall of the housing via the bearing. A connecting column is mounted on the right side of the fixed cylinder, and a servo motor is mounted on the right side of the connecting column. The right side of the servo motor is connected to the inner wall of the housing. An inlet / outlet is located on the left side inside the fixed cylinder. A filter plate is located on the left side above the fixed cylinder. A storage box is mounted on the upper part of the outer wall of the fixed cylinder, and a baffle is located below the storage box. The outer side of the baffle is connected to the fixed cylinder. A slot is located below the outer side of the inlet / outlet and is installed on the outer wall of the fixed cylinder. The slot is also installed on the inner side of the plate. The outer wall of the plate is connected to the left side of the inner wall of the housing. An outlet is located on the right side below the housing, and a camera is mounted on the outer side of the housing.

[0007] Preferably, the base and the fixing groove are integrated, and the storage boxes are fixedly connected to the inclined plate and the fixing cylinder plate.

[0008] Preferably, the fixed cylinder plate and the sliding cylinder plate are slidably connected, and both sides of the automatic telescopic rod are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the fixed cylinder plate and the inner walls of the sliding cylinder plate.

[0009] Preferably, the right side of the sliding cylinder plate is correspondingly positioned with respect to the sealing groove, and the sealing groove and the storage box are integrated into one piece.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the housing is fixedly connected to the automatic feeder and the base, and the housing and the discharge port are integrated.

[0011] Preferably, the fixed cylinder and the bearing are rotatably connected, and the fixed cylinder and the connecting column are fixedly connected.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting column and the servo motor are driven together, and the outer shell and the plate are fixed together.

[0015] Preferably, the filter plate has an arc edge, and the interior of the fixed cylinder is connected to the interior of the storage box through the filter plate.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] By designing an outer shell, a fixed cylinder, and bearings, the shared pet boarding station requires the care of the cats' basic needs. When a cat goes inside the fixed cylinder to relieve itself, a camera monitors the inside of the cylinder. An AI model identifies whether a cat has entered, is relieving itself, or has left. Once the cat has left, a servo motor is activated, causing the fixed cylinder, connected by a connecting column, to rotate inside the bearings. When the fixed cylinder rotates the filter plate downwards, the filter plate sifts the litter. Clean litter passes through the filter plate and enters the storage box, while excrement is blocked by the filter plate. When the fixed cylinder rotates the filter plate to the lower left, excrement above the filter plate is discharged from the litter box through the inlet and outlet, entering the storage box, ensuring the cleanliness of the litter box. Then, an automatic extension mechanism is activated. The retracting rod drives the sliding cylinder plate to slide inside the fixed cylinder plate, bringing the fixed cylinder plate to the inside of the sealing groove to seal the storage box and improve the environmental quality of the device. After cleaning, the fixed cylinder returns to its original position. Then, the camera monitors the internal AI model to identify when the amount of cat litter inside the fixed cylinder is insufficient. The control panel sends a signal to the automatic dispenser, which replenishes the cat litter into the fixed cylinder through the top of the plate and the discharge port. The device is also equipped with an IoT platform connection. The cat litter box is connected to the user's mobile application through the IoT platform. The user can monitor the status of the cat litter box in real time and remotely control the cat litter replenishment and excrement cleaning functions, thereby realizing automatic cat litter replenishment and excrement cleaning to meet the needs of multiple pets in the shared pet boarding station.

When the fixed litter box 902 rotates the filter plate 908 to the lower position, the filter plate 908 filters the litter. Clean cat litter 10 passes through the filter plate 908 and enters the storage box 909, while excrement 11 is blocked by the filter plate 908. When the fixed litter box 902 rotates the filter plate 908 to the lower left, the excrement 11 above the filter plate 908 is discharged from the litter box through the inlet / outlet 907 and outlet 913, entering the storage box 3, ensuring the hygiene of the litter box. The automatic telescopic rod is activated, causing the sliding cylinder plate 6 to slide inside the fixed cylinder plate 5, bringing the fixed cylinder plate 5 to the inside of the sealing groove 7 to seal the storage box 3 and improve the environmental quality of the device. After cleaning, the fixed cylinder 902 is reset. Then, the camera 12 monitors the internal AI model and identifies when the amount of cat litter 10 inside the fixed cylinder 902 is insufficient. The control panel sends a signal to the automatic feeder 8, which replenishes the cat litter 10 into the fixed cylinder 902 through the top of the plate 912 and the discharge port 913. The device is also equipped with an Internet of Things (IoT) platform connection. The cat litter box is connected to the user's mobile application through the IoT platform. The user can monitor the status of the cat litter box in real time and remotely control the cat litter 10 replenishment and excrement 11 cleaning functions, thereby realizing the automatic replenishment of cat litter 10 and the automatic cleaning of excrement 11 to meet the needs of multiple pets in the shared pet boarding station.
