Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for pet care, and in particular to a protective canopy and a litter box. Background Technology

[0002] In pet ownership, a litter box is an essential facility for cat-owning households, used to hold cat litter for cats to use for excretion. Currently, most mainstream products on the market are open-type litter boxes. This type of structure makes it easy for cats to enter and exit, and also facilitates users in cleaning the litter box and observing their pets' defecation. However, the open design makes it difficult to prevent odors from excrement inside the box, which can easily affect indoor air quality and cause environmental problems.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technology proposes a pet tent that can be installed on a litter box. This tent consists of multiple panels forming a cavity, with at least one panel having an opening for the pet to enter and exit. Adjacent panels are rotatably connected via flexible connectors, allowing the tent to be folded and stacked by rotating the panels during storage, forming a compact stack structure and thus saving storage space.

[0004] However, existing tents are made up of multiple independent panels spliced ​​together with flexible connectors, resulting in a weak overall structural rigidity. They are easily displaced and deformed by pet collisions or external forces. When splicing, each panel must be aligned and fixed with connectors, and the same applies when storing them. This process is time-consuming and results in a poor user experience. Furthermore, the tent openings are formed by directly cutting the panels, and the cut edges often have untreated burrs or sharp corners. When pets quickly enter or exit, they are very likely to scratch their bodies or even injure their skin, posing a significant safety hazard.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a protective canopy and litter box to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a protective canopy and a litter box. The canopy is easy to install and store, and can prevent pets from being scratched. The litter box can prevent odors from escaping, is easy to install, has a stable structure, and is safe for pets to enter.

[0007] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] Awnings, including:

[0009] The canopy is a one-piece structure, including a first plate and a plurality of second plates that can be bent along the edge of the first plate. Each second plate has a bendable connecting part at both ends, and the connecting part has a connecting hole. One of the second plates has an inlet, and the edge of the inlet has a plurality of bendable edging parts. The edging parts have a first fixing hole, and the second plate has a plurality of second fixing holes around the inlet.

[0010] Multiple fixing components, including a first fixing member and a second fixing member that are detachably connected;

[0011] By bending the second plate and the connecting part, the connecting holes of two adjacent connecting parts can be aligned. The first fixing member can pass through the aligned connecting holes and connect to the second fixing member, so that each second plate and the first plate form a covering space. By bending the edge part, the first fixing hole is aligned with the corresponding second fixing hole. The first fixing member can pass through the aligned first fixing hole and second fixing hole and connect to the second fixing member.

[0012] Preferably, indentation lines are provided at the bends between the first plate and the second plate, the bends between the second plate body and the connecting portion, and the bends between the second plate body and the edging portion at the entrance.

[0013] Preferably, the first fastener is a male buckle, and the second fastener is a female buckle that matches the male buckle, wherein the male buckle can be inserted into and locked into the female buckle.

[0014] Preferably, the first fastener is a bolt, and the second fastener is a nut that mates with the bolt.

[0015] Preferably, when all the second plates and the first plate enclose the covering space, the top surface of the first plate is inclined from one side to the opposite side.

[0016] Preferably, each of the connecting parts is provided with at least two connecting holes spaced apart along the direction of its bending line, and the multiple connecting holes on two adjacent connecting parts are aligned and fitted with fixing components.

[0017] Preferably, the plastic material of the canopy is mixed with UV-resistant additives and anti-aging additives.

[0018] A litter box includes a basin body and the aforementioned canopy. The basin body has a receiving groove that communicates with the covered space. A plurality of second plates are detachably connected to the basin body.

[0019] Preferably, the basin body is provided with a plurality of third fasteners circumferentially spaced around the opening of the receiving groove. The number of the third fasteners is the same as the number of the second plate. Each of the third fasteners is provided with a limiting groove. When the canopy is installed on the basin body, two adjacent connecting parts are inserted into a corresponding limiting groove.

[0020] Preferably, the litter box further includes a connecting assembly, which includes a first connector and a second connector. One of the first connectors is disposed on the litter box body, and the other is disposed on the second plate body. The first connector is detachably connected to the second connector.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] This invention proposes a canopy that uses a single-piece canopy panel instead of multiple independent panels. The canopy panel comprises a first panel and multiple second panels that can be bent along its edges. Each second panel has bendable connecting parts at both ends. During operation, simply bend the second panels and connecting parts to align the connecting holes of adjacent connecting parts. Then, use a first fixing member of the fixing assembly to pass through the aligned connecting holes and connect with a second fixing member, allowing the second panels to form a covered space with the first panel. This single-piece structure avoids the gaps and looseness problems associated with splicing multiple panels, improves overall rigidity, and prevents displacement and deformation caused by pet collisions or external forces. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for aligning and splicing or storing each panel individually; assembly can be completed simply by bending and quickly connecting the fixing components, simplifying the operation process, saving time, and improving the user experience. To address safety hazards, the second panel with the entrance has multiple bendable edging portions along its edge, each edging portion having a first fixing hole. The second panel also has multiple second fixing holes around the entrance. During installation, bend the edge to align the first fixing hole with the corresponding second fixing hole, then insert the first fixing piece and connect the second fixing piece. This will allow the edge to wrap around the cut edge of the entrance, preventing untreated burrs or sharp edges from being exposed, thus preventing pets from scratching their bodies or injuring their skin when they quickly enter or exit, and reducing safety hazards.

[0023] This invention proposes a cat litter box where the receiving groove of the box is connected to the covered space formed by a canopy, allowing cats to easily enter the receiving groove to defecate. Simultaneously, the one-piece structure of the canopy isolates odors from excrement, improving indoor air quality and solving the problem of odor diffusion from open litter boxes. Furthermore, by employing the aforementioned canopy, the litter box is easy to install, structurally stable, and provides a safe entrance. Attached Figure Description

Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar parts or parts having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0043] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or a detachable connection; a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

"Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0045] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0046] like Figures 1-5 as well as Figures 7-11 As shown, this utility model provides a canopy, including a canopy panel 1 and multiple fixing components 2. The canopy panel 1 is a one-piece structure, including a first plate 11 and multiple second plates 12 that can be bent along the edge of the first plate 11. Each second plate 12 has a bendable connecting portion 121 at both ends, and each connecting portion 121 has a connecting hole 1210. One of the second plates 12 has an inlet 120, and the edge of the inlet 120 has multiple bendable edging portions 122. The edging portions 122 have first fixing holes 1220. The second plate 12 has multiple second fixing holes 123 around the inlet 120. The fixing component 2 includes a first fixing member 21 and a second fixing member 22 that are detachably connected. By bending the second plate 12 and the connecting part 121, the connecting holes 1210 of two adjacent connecting parts 121 can be aligned. The first fixing member 21 can pass through the aligned connecting holes 1210 and connect to the second fixing member 22, so that each second plate 12 and the first plate 11 form a covering space. By bending the edge part 122, the first fixing hole 1220 is aligned with the corresponding second fixing hole 123. The first fixing member 21 can pass through the aligned first fixing hole 1220 and the second fixing hole 123 and connect to the second fixing member 22.

[0047] The canopy uses a single, integral panel 1, rather than a structure composed of multiple independent panels. The panel 1 comprises a first panel 11 and multiple second panels 12 that are bendable along their edges. Each second panel 12 has bendable connecting portions 121 at both ends. During operation, simply bend the second panels 12 and the connecting portions 121 to align the connecting holes 1210 of adjacent connecting portions 121. Then, the first fixing member 21 of the fixing component 2 passes through the aligned connecting holes 1210 and connects to the second fixing member 22, allowing each second panel 12 to enclose the canopy space with the first panel 11. This single-panel structure avoids gaps and loosening issues associated with splicing multiple panels, improves overall rigidity, and prevents displacement and deformation caused by pet collisions or external forces. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for aligning and assembling or storing each panel individually; assembly is completed simply by bending and quickly connecting with the fixing component 2, simplifying the operation process, saving time, and enhancing the user experience. To address safety hazards, the second plate 12, which has an entrance 120, has multiple bendable edging portions 122 along its edge. Each edging portion 122 has a first fixing hole 1220, and the second plate 12, surrounding the entrance 120, has multiple second fixing holes 123. During installation, the edging portions 122 are bent to align the first fixing holes 1220 with the corresponding second fixing holes 123. Then, a first fixing member 21 is inserted and connected to a second fixing member 22. This allows the edging portions 122 to wrap around the cut edge of the entrance 120, preventing untreated burrs or sharp edges from being exposed and preventing pets from scratching their bodies or injuring their skin when quickly entering or exiting, thus reducing safety hazards.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the first plate 11 is a rectangular structure, and its four edges are respectively connected to a bendable second plate 12.

[0049] In other embodiments, the first plate 11 may also be a regular hexagon or other shapes, and correspondingly, the number and shape of the second plate 12 may be adaptively adjusted according to the edge contour of the first plate 11.

[0050] In this embodiment, the shape 12 of the entrance is trapezoidal.

[0051] In other embodiments, the entrance 120 may also take the shape of an arch, rectangle, or other shapes.

[0052] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, indentation lines 13 are provided at the bends between the first plate 11 and the second plate 12, the bend between the main body of the second plate 12 and the connecting part 121, and the bend between the main body of the second plate 12 and the edge part 122 at the entrance 120. The indentation lines 13 provide a precise preset trajectory for the bending of each component, eliminating the need for the user to manually find the bending position or adjust the angle, making the bending process smoother and less strenuous.

[0053] It should be noted that the indentation line 13 is a continuous shallow groove formed by pressing with a special mold during the board production process. This structure creates a pre-set weak line by locally reducing the material thickness, providing a clear guide trajectory for users when bending the board, ensuring accurate bending position and uniform angle, and making the operation effortless and smooth.

[0054] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first fastener 21 is a male buckle, and the second fastener 22 is a female buckle that matches the male buckle. The male buckle can be inserted into and locked into the female buckle. During installation, the user does not need any tools. Simply align the prong of the male buckle with the slot on the female buckle and insert it vertically. The interference fit or elastic locking between the two structures achieves a secure lock, simplifying the fixing process and improving the user experience. During disassembly, the user can directly pinch the connection between the male and female buckles with their hands and apply a reverse pulling force to easily separate them. Neither will be damaged, and the disassembly and assembly operations can be repeated.

[0055] Optionally, the first fastener 21 is a bolt, and the second fastener 22 is a nut that mates with the bolt. The threaded connection, relying on the mechanical self-locking action between the continuous helical tooth surfaces, effectively resists severe collisions and impacts from pets, greatly enhancing the long-term stability and durability of the enclosure space. Furthermore, the standardized bolts and nuts facilitate replacement and maintenance, improving the product's maintainability.

[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, each edge portion 122 is provided with a plurality of first fixing holes 1220 at intervals. Correspondingly, a plurality of second fixing holes 123 are provided around the edge of the entrance 120 on the second plate 12, matching the positions of the first fixing holes 1220. This multi-point fixing further improves the flatness and firmness of the edge edging structure of the entrance 120. It prevents it from warping or deforming due to excessive local stress, ensuring a tight fit between the edge portion 122 and the second plate 12, thereby forming a smooth, burr-free entrance edge and reducing the risk of pets being scratched when entering or exiting.

[0057] In this embodiment, each edge portion 122 is provided with two first fixing holes 1220 at intervals.

[0058] In other embodiments, each edge portion 122 is provided with three first fixing holes 1220 at intervals. The number of first fixing holes 1220 is not specifically limited here.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 5As shown, each connecting part 121 has at least two connecting holes 1210 spaced apart along the bending line extension direction. Multiple connecting holes 1210 on two adjacent connecting parts 121 are aligned and fixed components 2 are inserted through them. By distributing the force through multiple connection points, the structural rigidity and overall stability of the adjacent second plates 12 at the connection point are enhanced, which can effectively resist torsional forces and impacts in all directions. At the same time, the multiple holes ensure the full compression of the connecting parts 121, avoiding loosening that may occur at the connection point under force, and further improving the overall stability and durability of the enclosure space.

[0060] In this embodiment, each connecting part 121 has two connecting holes 1210 spaced apart along the extension direction of the bending line.

[0061] In other embodiments, each connecting portion 121 is provided with three connecting holes 1210 spaced apart along the direction of the bending line. The number of connecting holes 1210 is not specifically limited here.

[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, when all the second plates 12 and the first plate 11 enclose the covered space, the top surface of the first plate 11 slopes from one side to the opposite side. When a pet attempts to jump onto or stay on the top surface of the first plate 11, its uneven slope significantly reduces the pet's comfort and willingness to stay, thus effectively preventing the pet from using it as a resting platform. This avoids the continuous and potentially concentrated pressure exerted on the first plate 11 by the pet lying on top for a long time, reducing the risk of the canopy deforming or collapsing due to pressure, and ensuring the structural integrity and morphological stability of the canopy under long-term use.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first plate 11 is a rectangular structure, with each of its four edges connected to a bendable second plate 12. The widths of the two second plates 12 connected to a pair of opposite sides of the first plate 11 are different. When all the second plates 12 are bent upright and fixed together by the connecting parts 121 to form a covered space, the difference in the support height of the opposite sides forces the first plate 11 to naturally form a top surface that slopes from the side of the wider second plate 12 to the side of the narrower second plate 12.

[0064] Specifically, the canopy panel 1 is made of plastic and contains UV-resistant and anti-aging additives. The UV-resistant additives effectively shield or absorb ultraviolet radiation from sunlight, preventing the molecular chains of the panel from breaking due to photo-oxidation, thus greatly inhibiting yellowing, embrittlement, and surface powdering. The anti-aging additives, by blocking the degradation process caused by environmental factors such as heat and oxygen, synergistically improve the durability of the material and delay strength loss and deformation. It should be noted that both UV-resistant and anti-aging additives are commonly used additives in plastic processing. UV-resistant additives can be UV absorbers such as benzophenone and benzotriazole, or light shielding agents such as carbon black and titanium dioxide; anti-aging additives can be antioxidants such as hindered phenols and phosphites.

[0065] In this embodiment, the canopy 1 is a hollow structure, and the perimeter of the canopy 1 is sealed to prevent cat excrement from entering the hollow canopy 1 when the cat is using it.

[0066] like Figures 3-11 As shown, this utility model also provides a cat litter box, including a basin body 100 and the aforementioned canopy. The basin body 100 has a receiving groove that communicates with the covered space. Multiple second plates 12 are detachably connected to the basin body 100. The receiving groove of the basin body 100 is connected to the covered space formed by the canopy, allowing cats to easily enter the receiving groove to defecate. Simultaneously, the one-piece structure of the canopy isolates odors from excrement, improving indoor air quality and solving the problem of odor diffusion from open litter boxes. Furthermore, by using the aforementioned canopy, the litter box is easy to install, structurally stable, and has a safe entrance.

[0067] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, multiple third fixing members 3 are circumferentially spaced around the opening of the receiving groove on the basin body 100. The number of third fixing members 3 is the same as the number of second plates 12. Each third fixing member 3 has a limiting groove 30. When the canopy is installed on the basin body 100, two adjacent connecting parts 121 are inserted into a corresponding limiting groove 30. During installation, two adjacent connecting parts 121 are inserted into the corresponding limiting groove 30. The limiting groove 30 can limit the connecting parts 121, thereby restricting the displacement of the canopy relative to the basin body 100. Even if the cat collides with the canopy when moving or entering and exiting the basin body 100, it can effectively prevent the canopy from separating from the basin body 100, ensuring the structural reliability of the litter box for long-term use. Furthermore, the design of the limiting groove 30 provides a precise positioning reference for the docking of the canopy and the basin body 100. Users do not need to measure or adjust the position. They only need to align the connecting parts 121 of the canopy, which have been assembled by the fixing components 2, with the limiting groove 30 and insert them to quickly complete the assembly of the two.

[0068] In this embodiment, the basin 100 is rectangular, and four third fixing members 3 are arranged circumferentially around the groove of the receiving groove on the basin 100. The four third fixing members 3 are located at the four corner points of the basin 100. When the canopy is installed on the basin 100, the four sets of aligned connecting parts 121 can be inserted into the limiting grooves 30 of the third fixing members 3 at the four corner points. The synchronous fixing of the four corner points can evenly distribute the load, which greatly enhances the torsional and overturning stability of the overall connection.

[0069] Specifically, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the litter box also includes a connecting assembly, which includes a first connector 4 and a second connector 5. One connector 4 is located on the litter box body 100, and the other is located on the second plate 12. The first connector 4 is detachably connected to the second connector 5. By setting up a connecting assembly consisting of the first connector 4 and the second connector 5, and separately positioning them on the litter box body 100 and the second plate 12, a modular connection that allows for repeated disassembly and reassembly between the canopy and the litter box body 100 is achieved. This structure facilitates quick and individual disassembly or installation of either second plate 12, greatly simplifying the cleaning, replacement, or storage process of the entire litter box, and improving ease of use and product maintainability.

[0070] In this embodiment, the connecting component is Velcro. The first connector 4 and the second connector 5 are hook-on and non-hook-on respectively. They can be connected by pressing and sticking together, and can be separated by tearing. The operation is simple.

[0071] In other embodiments, the connecting component can also be a snap-fit ​​connecting component, where the first connector 4 and the second connector 5 are connected by pressing and snapping together.

[0072] In this embodiment, both the second plate 12 with the inlet 120 and the second plate 12 opposite to it are provided with first connectors 4. Correspondingly, second connectors 5 are provided at positions on the basin 100 corresponding to these two second plates 12. The double-sided connection structure forms symmetrical anchoring points at the front and rear edges of the basin 100, which can evenly distribute the force generated by the pet's activities, making the stress distribution of the canopy more uniform and reasonable, and further improving the torsional and overturning stability.

[0073] In this embodiment, the specific installation steps of the cat litter box are as follows:

[0074] Step 1, as follows Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the bend of the edge portion 122 is such that the first fixing hole 1220 is aligned with the second fixing hole 123. Then, the first fixing member 21 of the fixing component 2 is inserted into the aligned first fixing hole 1220 and second fixing hole 123 and connected and fastened with the second fixing member 22, thereby forming a smooth, burr-free edge of the entrance 120.

[0075] Step two, as Figure 5 As shown, the second plate 12 is bent so that the connecting parts 121 on each second plate 12 come close to each other and are aligned, ensuring that the connecting holes 1210 on adjacent connecting parts 121 correspond one to one. Then, the first fixing member 21 of the fixing component 2 is inserted into the aligned connecting holes 1210 and connected and fastened with the second fixing member 22, so that each second plate 12 and the first plate 11 surround and form a covering space.

[0076] Step 3, as Figure 6 As shown, a third fastener 3 is installed on the basin 100;

[0077] Step four, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the assembled canopy is placed on top of the basin 100, so that each connecting part 121 is aligned with the corresponding third fixing part 3 on the basin 100, and each connecting part 121 is inserted into the limiting groove 30 of the third fixing part 3 to realize the connection between the canopy and the basin 100.

[0078] Step 5, as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the first connector 4 on the second plate 12 and the second connector 5 on the basin 100 are aligned and pressed together, and the connection is achieved by the adhesive action of Velcro, thus completing the final fixation of the canopy.

[0079] The overall structure of the litter box after installation is as follows: Figure 11 As shown.

[0080] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here.
