Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pet products, and more specifically, to a cat litter box with a stable support structure. Background Technology

[0002] Cats are naturally inclined to bury their excrement after defecating. Currently, pet owners generally provide their pets with pet-specific toilets, such as litter boxes, to guide them to defecate in a fixed area. Most existing cat litter can clump together when wet, making it easy to clean out from other dry cat litter without having to replace all the cat litter.

[0003] In existing technology, common cat litter boxes are supported on the ground by the bottom of the box. However, cats like to jump, and when a cat jumps to one side of the litter box, it may cause the litter box to tip over. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cat litter box with a stable support structure, which aims to solve the problem that cat litter boxes in the prior art may be unstable if they are only supported by the bottom of the box.

[0005] This invention is implemented as follows: a litter box with a stable support structure includes an outer basin, an inner liner, a cleaning rake, and a drive assembly. The inner liner is detachably mounted on the outer basin, and the drive assembly is mounted on the outer basin to drive the cleaning rake to reciprocate within the inner liner. The outer basin includes an outer shell and an inner basin. The inner basin is recessed inward to form a cavity, and the inner liner is installed within the cavity. The upper edge of the inner basin is connected to the upper edge of the outer shell, and the outer shell is arranged around the outer periphery of the inner basin, with the outer shell inclined outward. A basin partition is formed between the inner wall of the outer shell and the outer wall of the inner basin. The basin partition includes a transverse basin partition and a longitudinal basin partition. The transverse basin partition has multiple baffles, and the two ends of the baffles are respectively connected to the outer wall of the inner basin and the inner wall of the outer shell.

[0006] Furthermore, the middle of the left side wall and the middle of the right side wall of the outer casing are provided with horizontally arranged tracks. The drive assembly includes an active component and a passive component, which are respectively located on both sides of the outer casing. The active component and the passive component can move back and forth along the tracks.

[0007] Furthermore, the longitudinal basin interval is provided with toothed conditions, and the bottom of the toothed conditions is provided with a toothed rack with the working surface facing downwards, and the toothed rack is arranged parallel to the track.

[0008] Furthermore, the tooth condition includes a longitudinal plate, one side of the rack is connected to the bottom end of the longitudinal plate, and a transverse plate is connected to the top end of the longitudinal plate. In the cross-sectional direction of the tooth condition, the bending direction of the transverse plate relative to the longitudinal plate is opposite to the bending direction of the rack relative to the longitudinal plate. The bottom of the transverse plate is also provided with a plurality of spacers, one side of which is connected to the longitudinal plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the active component includes a motor, which is connected to a drive gear that meshes with the rack on the left side.

[0010] Furthermore, a transmission shaft is provided between the driving member and the driven member, the driving gear 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 meshing with the rack on the right side.

[0011] Furthermore, both the driving member and the driven member are provided with guide wheels on their inner sides, and the guide wheels cooperate with the track.

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

[0022] A litter box with a stable support structure 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 to drive 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, with the inner basin 130 recessed inward to form a cavity, in which the inner liner 200 is installed. The upper edge of the inner basin 130 is aligned with... The upper edge of the outer shell 140 is connected, and the outer shell 140 is arranged around the outer periphery of the inner basin 130. The outer shell 140 is arranged in an outward tilt. A basin partition is formed between the inner sidewall of the outer shell 140 and the outer sidewall of the inner basin 130. The basin partition includes a transverse basin partition 141 and a longitudinal basin partition 142. A plurality of partitions 1411 are provided in the transverse basin partition 141. The two ends of the partitions 1411 are respectively connected to the outer sidewall of the inner basin 130 and the inner sidewall of the outer shell 140.

[0023] The litter box with a stable support structure provided in this embodiment features an outwardly tilted outer shell 140, resulting in an overall platform-like structure with a smaller top and larger bottom for the outer basin 100. Compared to the commonly seen rectangular outer basin 100, this structure is more stable and less prone to tipping over. The partition 1411 between the outer shell 140 and the inner basin 130 further enhances the stability of the outer shell 140, making the litter box even less susceptible to tipping over.

[0024] The inner basin 130 is provided with support bars 131 arranged in a crisscross pattern, which improves the strength of the inner basin 130.

[0025] Furthermore, horizontally arranged tracks 600 are provided in the middle of the left and right side walls of the outer casing 140. 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 in the inner liner 200.

[0026] Specifically, a toothed condition 150 is provided in the longitudinal basin interval 142, and a rack 503 with the working surface facing down is provided at the bottom of the toothed condition 150. The rack 503 is arranged in parallel with the track 600.

[0027] Furthermore, the tooth condition 150 includes a longitudinal plate 151, one side of the rack 503 is connected to the bottom end of the longitudinal plate 151, and a transverse plate 152 is connected to the top end of the longitudinal plate 151. In the cross-sectional direction of the tooth condition 150, the bending direction of the transverse plate 152 relative to the longitudinal plate 151 is opposite to the bending direction of the rack 503 relative to the longitudinal plate 151. The bottom of the transverse plate 152 is also provided with multiple spacers 153, one side of which is connected to the longitudinal plate 151. The transverse plate 152 is used to fix the tooth condition 150 to the longitudinal basin spacer 142, generally by screws. The longitudinal plate 151 provides strong support for the rack 503, the spacers 153 strengthen the tooth condition 150, and the other side of the spacers 153 can abut against the outer wall of the inner basin 130, preventing the rack 503 from shaking or shifting during operation.

[0028] The driving component 510 includes a motor 501, which is connected to a driving gear 502. The driving gear 502 meshes with a rack 503 on the left side. The housing 140 also has a wiring port. The motor 501 is typically electrically connected to the wiring port via a wire, and the wiring port is used to connect to an external power source, usually via a power adapter. When the motor 501 rotates, it drives the driving gear 502 to rotate, causing the driving gear 502 to move along the rack 503, thus causing the driving component 510 to move along the rack 503.

[0029] The active component 510 includes a control circuit board 513, and the motor 501 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 513. The control circuit board 513 facilitates control of functions such as power on / off and automatic cleaning. A control panel is located on the outside of the active component 510, featuring a power button 5141 for powering on / off and a start button 5142 for activating the one-button cleaning function, allowing users to easily operate the litter box.

[0030] 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.

[0031] A strip-shaped hole 160 is provided on the lower side wall of the inner basin 130. The drive shaft passes through the strip-shaped hole 160. When the driving member 510 drives the cleaning rake 400 to move back and forth, the drive shaft moves back and forth in the strip-shaped hole 160 accordingly.

[0032] Furthermore, both the driving member 510 and the driven member 520 are equipped with guide wheels 610 on their inner sides, which cooperate with the track 600. The guide wheels 610 can typically be rollers. During operation, the rollers roll along the track 600, reducing friction. The rack 503 below the track 600 is parallel to the track 600. The cooperation between the guide wheels 610 and the track 600, as well as the cooperation between the driving gear 502 and the rack 503, together ensure the smooth operation of the driving member 510 and the driven member 520.

[0033] Furthermore, the inner sides of the driving member 510 and the driven member 520 are also provided with a limiting buckle 620. The limiting buckle 620 is located above the guide wheel 610 and is arranged in an L-shape. The upper inner side of the limiting buckle 620 abuts against the upper inner side wall of the track 600 to prevent the driving member 510 and the driven member 520 from disengaging from the track 600.

[0034] 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.

[0035] Furthermore, the bottom of the inner basin 130 is flat, the four corners of the outer shell 140 are arc-shaped, and the bottom of the four corners of the outer shell 140 is also provided with anti-slip pads 170, which further enhances the stability of the litter box support and makes it less likely to tip over or slide.

[0036] A fence 120 is also provided at the top edge of the outer basin 100 to reduce the probability of cat litter overflowing into the inner liner 200 during the cleaning process of the cleaning rake 400.

[0037] 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.
