[0021] Reference Figures 1 to 7 The image shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] A litter box with an independent inner liner includes an outer basin 100, an inner liner 200, a cleaning rake 400, and a drive assembly 500; the inner liner 200 is detachably mounted on the outer basin 100, and the drive assembly 500 is mounted on the outer basin 100 for driving the cleaning rake 400 to reciprocate within the inner liner 200. The outer basin 100 includes an outer shell 140 and an inner basin 130. The inner basin 130 is recessed inward to form a cavity, and the inner liner 200 is installed in the cavity. The upper edge of the inner basin 130 is connected to the upper edge of the outer shell 140. The outer shell 140 is arranged around the outer periphery of the inner basin 130 and is arranged in an outward tilt. The inner basin 130 has an annular groove 132 on the inner side of its upper edge. The inner liner 200 includes a horizontally arranged liner bottom 210 and an upwardly extending liner wall 220 surrounding the liner bottom 210. The liner bottom 210 and the liner wall 220 enclose a liner cavity for containing cat litter. The upper edge of the liner wall 220 protrudes outward to form an annular edge 221, which is embedded in the annular groove 132.

[0023] This embodiment provides a litter box with an independent inner liner. The inner liner 200 is detachably installed on the outer basin 100, allowing the user to easily remove the inner liner 200 from the outer basin 100 for litter replacement or cleaning. The inner liner 200's circumferential edge 221 is embedded in the circumferential groove 132 of the outer basin 100, preventing the inner liner 200 from sliding within the outer basin 100. A cleaning rake 400 is driven by a drive assembly 500 to move back and forth within the inner liner 200, automatically cleaning the litter in the litter box. The inclined outer shell 140 provides relatively stable support to the outer basin 100, reducing the possibility of the litter box tipping over.

[0024] Specifically, the gallbladder wall 220 includes a straight wall and an arc-shaped wall 230 located at the tail of the inner gallbladder 200. The arc-shaped wall 230 extends from the bottom of the gallbladder 210 towards the upper edge of the gallbladder wall 220 in an arc shape. Three sides of the gallbladder cavity are straight walls arranged vertically, and the other side is an arc-shaped wall 230. When the cleaning rake 400 moves along the arc-shaped wall 230, the collecting claw of the cleaning rake 400 is slowly lifted, and the clumps in the cat litter are collected onto the collecting claw.

[0025] Furthermore, a protruding railing is provided above the ring edge 221. The protruding railing includes a horizontal protruding railing 222 and a vertical protruding railing 223. The two vertical protruding railings 223 are respectively connected to the two ends of the horizontal protruding railing 222. The inner side of the arc-shaped wall 230 is connected to the inner side of the horizontal protruding railing 222, and the inner side of the straight wall is connected to the inner side of the vertical protruding railing 223. The length of the vertical protruding railing 223 is less than the length of the horizontal protruding railing 222, and the vertical protruding railing 223 and the horizontal protruding railing 222 are connected by an arc. The protruding railing is arranged above the upper edge of the inner wall 220 to reduce the occurrence of cat litter overflowing from the litter box when the cleaning rake 400 moves.

[0026] The rim 221 protrudes outward to form a lug 240, which is located on the outer side of the middle of the horizontal protrusion 222. The upper edge of the inner basin 130 is provided with a notch 133, which is horizontally arranged, and the lug 240 is embedded in the notch 133. On the one hand, the lug 240 facilitates the removal of the inner liner 200 from the outer basin 100. On the other hand, it plays a positioning role when installing the inner liner 200, making the inner liner 200 more stable in the outer basin 100 and less prone to displacement.

[0027] Furthermore, the inner wall of the straight-walled litter box is equipped with MAX and MIN marking lines to indicate the recommended amount of cat litter to use. The MAX marking line indicates the maximum recommended amount of cat litter to use, and the MIN marking line indicates the minimum recommended amount of cat litter to use, making it convenient for users and preventing the litter box from being filled with too much or too little cat litter, which would affect its normal use.

[0028] The outer wall of the inner liner 200 is provided with multiple ribs 250. The multiple ribs 250 are arranged in a grid pattern at the bottom of the inner liner 200, which not only strengthens the inner liner 200 but also saves material costs.

[0029] The outer casing 140 has horizontally arranged tracks 600 on the middle of its left and right side walls. The drive assembly 500 includes a driving member 510 and a driven member 520, which are respectively located on both sides of the outer casing 140. The driving member 510 and the driven member 520 can move back and forth along the tracks 600. When the driving member 510 and the driven member 520 move back and forth along the tracks 600, they drive the cleaning rake 400 to move back and forth within the inner liner 200.

[0030] The drive assembly 500 includes a motor 501, a drive gear 502, and a rack 503. The rack 503 is located on the side of the outer basin 100 and below the track 600. The rack 503 is parallel to the track 600 and its working surface faces downward. The drive gear 502 meshes with the rack 503. The motor 501 drives the drive gear 502 to rotate, causing the drive gear 502 to reciprocate on the rack 503.

[0031] Furthermore, a transmission shaft is provided between the driving member 510 and the driven member 520. The driving gear 502 is fixedly connected to the left end of the transmission shaft, and a driven gear is provided at the right end of the transmission shaft. The driven gear meshes with the rack 503 on the right side. When the motor 501 drives the driving gear 502 to rotate, the transmission shaft rotates accordingly, driving the driven gear to rotate. The driving gear 502 and the driven gear are fixedly connected to the two ends of the transmission shaft, respectively. When the driving gear 502 is driven by the motor 501, the transmission shaft and the driven gear rotate synchronously, thereby causing the driving member 510 and the driven member 520 to move synchronously, making the movement of the cleaning rake 400 smooth.

[0032] Furthermore, the active component 510 includes a swing arm 511, the top of which is connected to one end of the cleaning rake 400. A micro motor 5111 is located at the tail of the swing arm 511. The active component 510 contains an arc-shaped rack and pinion rail 512. The micro motor 5111 is connected to a first gear 5112, which meshes with the rack and pinion rail 512. When the cleaning rake 400 moves from the head to the tail of the inner liner 200, the micro motor 5111 is not in operation. Upon reaching the tail, the micro motor 5111 drives the first gear 5112 to rotate. The first gear 5112 moves on the rack and pinion rail 512, causing the swing arm 511 to swing, thus causing the cleaning rake 400 to rotate. The collecting claw then lifts upwards, scooping cat excrement from the litter into the collecting claw.

[0033] The litter box is also equipped with a trash can 300, which is located on the outside of the inner liner 200.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
