Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet supplies technology, and in particular to a pet excrement bedding shovel. Background Technology

[0002] Cat litter is used by cat owners to bury feces and urine in their cats, and it has good absorbency. Common cat litter on the market, such as bentonite cat litter and tofu cat litter, will clump together after absorbing cat urine or covering feces. In order to keep the litter box clean and hygienic and extend the life of the litter box, owners usually need to use a pet waste scoop to regularly separate and remove these clumps of waste from the clean litter.

[0003] Existing pet litter scoops are typically scoops with a handle and multiple sieve holes or slits at the bottom. They work by inserting the scoop into the litter box, scooping up the mixture of clumps of litter and clean litter, and then shaking the scoop. Gravity forces the smaller, cleaner litter particles through the sieve holes, while the larger clumps of litter remain inside the scoop, thus achieving separation and cleaning.

[0004] For example, the existing Chinese patent publication number CN222442652U discloses an environmentally friendly cat litter shovel with a prismatic shovel surface, which includes a shovel body and a gripping handle. A first connecting block is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the shovel body. A threaded hole is opened at the end of the first connecting block away from the shovel body. A second connecting block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the gripping handle. An external thread is opened on the outside of the second connecting block. The second connecting block is threaded into the threaded hole. The shovel body includes a rim and a shovel surface. The bottom of the rim is fixedly connected to the top of the three sides of the shovel surface. Several U-shaped sieve holes are gradually opened on the side of the shovel surface near the middle of the rim. Several I-shaped sieve holes are evenly opened on the side of the shovel surface away from the middle of the rim.

[0005] While these litter scoops can achieve the purpose of separation and cleaning, the pushing force at the front end creates a small "wave" of litter during use. Since the front end of the litter scoop is usually open or sloping, the clean litter in this "wave," especially the finer particles, can easily overflow the front edge of the scoop head and scatter onto the ground outside the litter box. This not only wastes litter but also pollutes the home environment and increases the user's cleaning burden. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pet excrement bedding shovel to solve the problems of insufficient aesthetic and personalized customization elements, small effective volume of cat litter shovels, easy to bring clean cat litter out of the cat litter box, inability to effectively clean contaminated cat litter fragments, clumped cat litter sticking to the bottom and not being easily cleaned by traditional litter shovels, insufficient structural strength and low screening efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides a pet excrement bedding shovel, including a shovel body and a handle. The shovel body includes a head for shoveling and feeding sand and a sand-draining part located behind the head. An upwardly extending baffle is provided at the connection between the head and the sand-draining part, making the head and the sand-draining part stepped. The sand-draining part is provided with upwardly extending ribs that can elevate the sand clumps. The upper side of the ribs is serrated or wavy, making it difficult for the sand clumps to move on the ribs.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the shovel head and the litter-leaking section are set in a stepped shape, and the baffle can effectively block the fine cat litter particles that surge forward and to the side during shoveling, preventing them from being carried out of the litter box, reducing litter waste and pollution to the surrounding environment. By setting ribs in the litter-leaking section, the serrated or wavy design on the ribs can elevate the litter clumps when shoveling, creating a gap between them and the sieve holes at the bottom of the shovel. Clean litter can quickly pass through the sieve holes from below the clumps by gravity, significantly reducing the number of times and the force with which users shake the pet litter shovel, improving cleaning efficiency, and the ribs can also enhance the structural strength of the pet litter shovel.

[0009] In one embodiment of this utility model, the bottom side of the head is lower than the bottom side of the sand-leaking part, and the baffle is inclined.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, it can be made more convenient and smoother to shovel sand.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the ribs are arranged along the opening direction of the pet excrement bedding shovel.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the design direction of the ribs can match the shoveling direction of the pet excrement bedding shovel, making it easier to shovel the sand clumps to the sand leakage part. The shape of the upper side of the ribs can also raise the sand clumps. The wavy or serrated structure design can enhance the friction between the clumps and effectively slow down the movement of the clumps during the shaking process.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of ribs are arranged in parallel on the sand-leaking part, and a sieve hole is provided on the sand-leaking part, the sieve hole being arranged between the plurality of ribs.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and setting multiple ribs, it is easier to elevate the litter shovel and improve the structural strength of the pet waste bedding shovel.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present invention, the head is further provided with a baffle that can increase its sand-shoveling range. The baffle is integrally formed on the periphery of the head, and the two sides of the baffle are configured to be curved upward to form a U-shaped baffle and smoothly transition with the shovel body.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the sand-shoveling range is increased by using enclosures, making it easier to use.

[0017] In one embodiment of this utility model, the head is also provided with a shovel blade to facilitate fitting into a flat surface.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the shovel can effectively remove clumps of cat litter stuck to the bottom of the litter box, especially highly adhesive cat litter such as bentonite, thereby improving litter removal efficiency.

[0019] In one embodiment of this utility model, the handle is detachably connected to the shovel body via a threaded structure.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the detachable handle facilitates the packaging, transportation and storage of the product. At the same time, when the handle or shovel head is damaged, the user can only replace the damaged part, which reduces the cost of use.

[0021] As described above, the pet waste bedding scoop of this invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. Increase the volume of litter scoop and prevent litter from splashing out: By setting a wide baffle around the perimeter of the scoop head, the effective range and volume of a single scoop are increased. At the same time, it effectively blocks the fine cat litter particles that surge forward and to the side during the scooping process, preventing them from being carried out of the litter box, reducing litter waste and pollution to the surrounding environment.

[0023] 2. Robust and durable structure with long service life: By setting ribs inside the shovel head, the overall structural strength and rigidity of the shovel head are greatly enhanced, making it less prone to deformation or breakage when handling sticky or heavy clumps, thus extending the product's service life.

[0024] 3. Improved screening efficiency, saving time and effort: The serrated or wavy surface of the ribs can effectively elevate cat litter clumps, creating a gap between them and the sieve holes at the bottom of the scoop. Clean cat litter can quickly pass through the sieve holes from below the clumps by gravity, significantly reducing the number of times and the force required for users to shake the pet waste scoop, thus improving cleaning efficiency.

[0025] 4. High litter removal efficiency: The shovel effectively removes clumps of litter stuck to the bottom of the litter box, especially sticky cat litter such as bentonite, thus improving litter removal efficiency.

[0026] 5. Effectively removes fine sand: The stepped design of the shovel head can remove fine, contaminated sand.

[0027] 6. High aesthetic appeal: The handle is detachable and can be customized to individual needs, enhancing the product's aesthetics. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., illustrated in the accompanying drawings are merely for illustrative purposes to aid those skilled in the art and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Therefore, they have no substantial technical significance. Any modifications to the structure, changes in proportions, or adjustments to size, without affecting the effectiveness and purpose of this invention, should still fall within the scope of the disclosed technical content. Furthermore, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "middle," and "one" used in this specification are merely for clarity and not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of this invention.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a pet excrement bedding shovel, including a shovel body 1 and a handle 2 detachably connected to the shovel body 1. The shovel body 1 includes a head 3 for shoveling and feeding sand and a sand-draining part 4 located behind the head 3. An upwardly extending baffle 5 is provided at the connection between the head 3 and the sand-draining part 4, so that the head 3 and the sand-draining part 4 are stepped. The bottom side of the head 3 is lower than the bottom side of the sand-draining part 4, and the baffle 5 is inclined.

[0034] The sand-leaking section 4 is provided with upward-extending ribs 6 that can elevate the sand clumps. The upper side of the ribs 6 is serrated or wavy. The ribs 6 are arranged along the opening direction of the pet excrement bedding shovel. The ribs 6 are arranged perpendicular to the baffle 5. Multiple screen holes 10 are evenly arranged on the sand-leaking section 4. Multiple ribs 6 are arranged in parallel on the sand-leaking section 4. The ribs 6 are arranged on the grid structure between adjacent screen holes 10. The screen holes 10 are arranged between the multiple ribs 6. In this embodiment, there are two ribs 6.

[0035] By using the ribs 6 as reinforcing ribs, the structural strength of the shovel body 1 can be effectively enhanced, greatly increasing the bending and torsional resistance of the bottom of the shovel head. Even if the user needs to use force to shovel up the hard clumps stuck to the bottom of the basin, the entire shovel body 1 can remain stable and is not easy to break. It can also make the sand clumps on the ribs 6 less likely to move.

[0036] The ribs 6 can also serve as a support and sieving aid. When the scooped-up cat litter clumps fall into the scoop head, they are supported and elevated by the tops of these raised ribs 6, thus creating a space between the bottom of the clump and the sieve holes 10 on the bottom surface of the scoop head. In this way, clean cat litter particles surrounding or below the clumps can be quickly filtered out through the sieve holes 10 under the action of gravity without vigorous shaking, greatly improving sieving efficiency and saving time and user effort.

[0037] The head 3 is also equipped with a baffle 7 that can increase its litter scooping range. The baffle 7 is integrally formed on the periphery of the head 3. The two sides of the baffle 7 are set to be curved upward to form a U-shaped baffle 7, which smoothly transitions with the scoop body 1, so that the chamfer of the baffle 7 can fit the chamfer of the container. The baffle 7 becomes a "dam" on the front edge and sides of the scoop head, which significantly increases the depth and effective volume of the scoop head 3, allowing more cat litter to be scooped and contained in a single operation, thus improving cleaning efficiency.

[0038] The head 3 is also equipped with a shovel 11 that makes it easy to fit the flat surface. The shovel 11 on the head 3 makes it easier to handle the sticky clumps in the litter box and effectively scoop them up.

[0039] The handle 2 is detachably connected to the shovel body 1 via a threaded structure. In this embodiment, a threaded hole 8 is provided at the center of the handle 2, and a threaded post 9 is provided on the shovel body 1 that is threadedly engaged with the threaded hole 8 on the handle 2, so that the handle 2 can be screwed onto the threaded post 9. The threaded structure includes, but is not limited to, the threads of the body and the threads of the threaded connector.

[0040] In summary, this utility model of a pet litter scoop, through its stepped design and the addition of a wide perimeter guardrail 7 and internal raised ribs 6, solves six major pain points of existing cat litter scoops with simple structural improvements: small capacity, easy splashing, insufficient scoop strength, difficulty in scooping out contaminated litter fragments, high customizable and aesthetically pleasing handle, and low sieving efficiency. The wide perimeter guardrail 7 ensures high efficiency and cleanliness during the cleaning process, while the raised ribs 6 and wavy serrations balance structural durability and functional efficiency.

[0041] Therefore, this utility model effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art and has high industrial application value.

[0042] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
