Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of portable cat litter boxes, and in particular to a portable cat litter box. Background Technology
[0002] A portable litter box is a convenient hygiene device designed to meet the needs of cats in situations such as when they are out and about, traveling, in a car, or temporarily staying in a residence. It is typically foldable, lightweight, and waterproof. Its main purpose is to provide cats with a relatively enclosed and hygienic toilet space, making it easy to carry and clean, and preventing odor spread or environmental pollution during outings.
[0003] Existing portable litter boxes generally suffer from insufficient leak-proof performance. Because most products use a cloth bag or simple plastic splicing structure, the sealing is poor, and cat litter easily overflows after being exposed to moisture or liquid. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a portable litter box, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a portable cat litter box, including a main body: the main body is a box structure, which is inverted trapezoidal with the two sides tilted outward at about 7° when viewed from the front, and square when viewed from the side, with the same width at the top and bottom;
[0006] The top of the main body is flipped up to have a top cover, and a sand-blocking mesh is connected to the middle mounting opening of the top cover via a zipper. The bottom of the main body is fixedly provided with a base plate, and pads are fixedly provided around the bottom surface of the base plate.
[0007] In one embodiment, a honeycomb panel is fixedly disposed in the middle of the inner wall of the base plate. A TPU layer is disposed on one side of the honeycomb panel and a PVC layer is fixedly disposed on the other side. The PVC layer is the outer layer, which is used to block external liquids and stains, and the TPU layer is the inner layer, which is used for waterproofing, scratch resistance and corrosion resistance.
[0008] In one embodiment, the inner walls of the top cover, bottom plate, and side walls are all fixedly embedded with honeycomb panels, wherein the honeycomb panels in the side walls and the bottom plate are divided into front and rear sections, so that the litter box as a whole can be pressed into a thinner shape in the front-to-back direction.
[0009] In one embodiment, an inner lining layer is fixedly disposed inside the main body. The inner lining layer is made of TPU, and the bottom surface and the surrounding sides of the inner lining layer are sewn together with the inner wall and the top perimeter of the main body.
[0010] In one embodiment, a first Velcro fastener is fixedly disposed on one upper side of the main body, and a side pouch is magnetically attached to the lower end of the first Velcro fastener on this side.
[0011] In one embodiment, a second handle is fixedly provided at a fixed interval on one of the two longer sides of the main body, a hook and loop grip is fixedly provided at the upper middle part of the second handle, and a reinforcing part is fixedly provided at the lower end of the side.
[0012] In one embodiment, a zippered pouch is fixedly provided on the middle of the other side of the longer two sides of the main body, and a first handle is fixedly provided on both sides of the zippered pouch.
[0013] Beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This device uses a composite structure of an outer PVC waterproof layer and an inner TPU anti-corrosion layer to give the cat litter box good waterproof, seepage-proof and stain-proof capabilities, effectively preventing liquid or wet litter leakage. The cat litter box adopts a trapezoidal structure, which is narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, making it stable and not easy to tip over. At the same time, it can greatly prevent cat litter from spilling outside during use.
[0015] 2. The four walls, top cover, and bottom plate inside the interlayer are all embedded with honeycomb panels. The honeycomb structure is lightweight and high-strength, which can significantly enhance the overall rigidity, so that the box will not collapse or deform when subjected to the weight of the cat or the impact of movement. The rigid support of the bottom plate can also prevent it from sinking under stress. In addition, the MDF of the two side walls is divided into two sections, front and back. When not in use, they can be folded in the front and back direction, so that the cat litter box can be folded into a flat structure, greatly reducing the storage volume and making it easy to carry and store.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] To achieve the above-mentioned utility model objectives, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a portable cat litter box, including a main body 1. The main body 1 is a box structure. When viewed from the front, the two sides are inclined outward at about 7° to form an inverted trapezoid, and when viewed from the side, it is square with the same width at the top and bottom.
[0026] The top of the main body 1 is flipped up to have a top cover 2. A sand-blocking mesh 3 is connected to the middle of the top cover 2 via a zipper. The bottom of the main body 1 is fixedly installed with a base plate 9. The bottom surface of the base plate 9 is fixedly installed with pads 12 around its perimeter. A honeycomb panel 91 is fixedly installed in the middle of the inner wall of the base plate 9. A TPU layer 93 is installed on one side of the honeycomb panel 91, and a PVC layer 92 is fixedly installed on the other side. The PVC layer 92 is the outer layer, which is used to block external liquids and stains. The TPU layer 93 is the inner layer, which is used for waterproofing, scratch resistance, and corrosion resistance. The top cover 2, the base plate 9, and the inner walls of the two side walls are all fixedly embedded with honeycomb panels 91. The honeycomb panels 91 in the two side walls and the base plate 9 are divided into two sections, front and back, so that the cat litter box can be stacked into a thinner shape along the front and back direction.
[0027] Specifically, the main body 1 is the supporting frame of the entire device. It adopts a box-type structure. When viewed from the front, the two sides are tilted outward at about 7° to form an inverted trapezoidal shape. This structure can effectively lower the center of gravity, so that the cat can distribute the force more evenly when entering, exiting or stepping on it, and prevent it from tipping over. At the same time, the inverted trapezoidal shape conforms to the cat's natural toilet posture, which makes it easier for the cat to move and turn around in the litter box and can reduce the splashing of cat litter during use.
[0028] The four walls of the main body 1 and the base plate 9 together form a stable enclosed space to accommodate cat litter and the cat, providing good support and preventing spillage.
[0029] The top cover 2 is flipped up and located on the top of the main body 1. It can be opened and closed by hinges or zippers. When the top cover 2 is closed, it fits with the sealing ring on the upper edge of the main body 1 and seals the sand-blocking mesh 3, forming a closed structure. This can effectively prevent the spread of odor and the splashing of cat litter. The top cover 2 has an installation port in the middle, which is connected to the sand-blocking mesh 3 by a zipper. When the cat enters or exits, the sand-blocking mesh 3 can act as an isolation and filter to prevent cat litter from overflowing, while maintaining air circulation and improving breathability.
[0030] The base plate 9 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the main body 1 to provide overall support. The pads 12 fixed around the bottom are used to raise the bottom to prevent the bottom from directly contacting the ground and getting wet, thus enhancing anti-slip properties and stability. The base plate 9 is fixedly installed with a honeycomb board 91 inside. This honeycomb structure has the characteristics of being lightweight and high-strength, which can significantly improve the compressive strength and deformation resistance of the base plate 9, so that the basin remains flat and does not collapse when subjected to force or when a cat jumps.
[0031] The honeycomb panel 91 has a TPU layer 93 and a PVC layer 92 on both sides. The PVC layer 92 is the outer layer, which is waterproof, stain-resistant and wear-resistant, and can effectively prevent external liquids or stains from penetrating. The TPU layer 93 is the inner layer, which is flexible, waterproof and corrosion-resistant, and can withstand the long-term effects of cat scratches and wet sand, ensuring internal cleanliness and durable use.
[0032] The top cover 2, bottom plate 9, and inner walls of both sides are all fixedly embedded with honeycomb panels 91, forming a circumferentially reinforced skeleton structure, giving the entire box good resistance to deformation and support. When the cat moves, steps, or turns around inside, the walls will not collapse or loosen, ensuring shape stability. The honeycomb panels 91 on both sides and the bottom plate 9 are divided into front and back sections. When storage is required, they can be folded and stacked in the front and back direction. The honeycomb panels 91 are naturally folded through the segmented connecting lines, making the overall structure flat, greatly reducing the volume and making it easy to carry and store.
[0033] To achieve the above-mentioned utility model objectives, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a portable cat litter box. The main body 1 has an inner lining layer fixedly installed inside. The inner lining layer is made of TPU and is sewn and fixed to the inner wall of the main body 1. A first Velcro 8 is fixedly installed on the upper side of one side of the main body 1. A side pouch 10 is magnetically attached to the lower end of the first Velcro 8 on this side. A second handle 6 is fixedly installed at intervals on one of the two longer sides of the main body 1. A grip Velcro 7 is fixedly installed at the middle of the upper end of the second handle 6. A reinforcing part 11 is fixedly installed at the lower end of this side. A zippered pouch 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the other two longer sides of the main body 1. A first handle 5 is fixedly installed on both sides of the zippered pouch 4.
[0034] Specifically, the main body 1 is internally fixed with an inner lining layer made of TPU material, which has excellent waterproof, impermeable and wear-resistant properties. It is used to directly contact cat litter and excrement, and can effectively prevent liquid from leaking to the outer layer of the main body 1, thereby keeping the exterior of the main body 1 dry and clean. When the inner lining layer is worn or damaged, the user can remove the stitching to the inner wall of the main body 1 and take out the inner lining layer separately for replacement. This allows the bottom protective layer to be disassembled and reinstalled after reaching the end of its service life, which significantly improves the maintainability and hygiene performance of the device and extends the overall service life.
[0035] A first Velcro 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the main body 1 at the upper position to realize the external installation connection of the auxiliary structure. The lower end of the first Velcro 8 is connected to the side bag 10 by magnetic attraction. The side bag 10 can be used to store sand shovels, garbage bags, wet wipes and other travel supplies. The side bag 10 can be connected by magnetic attraction or Velcro to ensure stability, while also facilitating quick disassembly and installation.
[0036] A second handle 6 is fixedly provided on one of the two longer sides of the main body 1. A handle Velcro 7 is provided at the upper middle part of the second handle 6. The user can attach the two handles together through the handle Velcro 7 as needed to form a more stable carrying handle structure. This not only enhances the comfort and force distribution when carrying, but also prevents the product from tipping over due to the shift of the center of gravity during carrying. The second handle 6 is arranged vertically with the bottom reinforcement 11. The reinforcement 11 is used to strengthen the connection strength between the side wall of the main body 1 and the second handle 6, preventing the wall from deforming or tearing when bearing weight or lifting, thereby extending the product's service life.
[0037] A zippered pouch 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the other side of the longer two sides of the main body 1. The zippered pouch 4 is used to store spare items or cat litter cleaning tools. The zipper closure structure can effectively prevent small items from being lost or exposed, and enhance the overall neatness and aesthetics. First handles 5 are fixedly installed on both sides of the zippered pouch 4, so that the hollow middle part of the zippered pouch 4 can be hung on the handle of the suitcase through the hollow part during use for easy carrying.
[0038] The specific workflow of this utility model;
[0039] Before use, the operator first unfolds the main body 1 of the portable litter box from its folded state, allowing the side walls and bottom plate 9 to automatically support and form a stable inverted trapezoidal structure based on the embedded honeycomb panels 91. An appropriate amount of cat litter is then evenly poured into the bottom of the inner lining. When the cat enters the litter box, the inverted trapezoidal side walls provide stable support, preventing tipping or collapse. After the cat finishes using the litter box, the sand-blocking mesh 3 in the middle of the top cover 2 effectively prevents cat litter from being carried out when the cat leaves, reducing environmental pollution. The top cover 2 can be closed as needed, forming a seal with a zipper and sealing ring, effectively reducing odor. During cleaning, the operator can open the top cover 2 to clean and replace the internal cat litter. When carrying or storing the litter box, after cleaning, gently press along the structural direction of the honeycomb panels 91 on both sides and the bottom plate 9 to fold the box into a thinner shape, suitable for car travel, outdoor trips, or home use, achieving both portability and space-saving storage.
