Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With changing pet ownership attitudes, pet houses, as comprehensive spaces integrating living, activity, health management, and behavior guidance, are increasingly favored by pet owners. They not only improve the quality of life for pets but also reduce the burden of care for owners. In the pet supplies sector, cat litter is an essential consumable for cat-owning households, with pine cat litter standing out due to its natural odor-absorbing properties. It relies on natural pine granules to absorb cat excrement, effectively inhibiting odor emissions, thus attracting numerous users.

[0003] However, the use of pine cat litter depends on a specific litter box. For owners of caged cats, a suitable litter box needs to be purchased and placed inside the cage. However, most pet houses on the market do not have a built-in litter box, requiring users to purchase one separately, which is extremely inconvenient, wastes cat-keeping costs, and increases space usage. Furthermore, the size and structure of commercially available litter boxes are often difficult to fit the cage's space layout, resulting in low space utilization and installation difficulties. This not only affects the pet's experience but also causes numerous problems for the owner. There is a need for an integrated pet house that incorporates a litter box into the base, to meet the actual needs of owners of caged cats. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the technical defects of the existing technology, this utility model provides a pet house with a built-in pine cat litter box component that is compatible with it. There is no need to worry about buying a cat litter box that is not suitable for the cage, nor is there a need to open the door to scoop up the litter box and worry about the cat taking the opportunity to escape. You can simply pull it open to clean it.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is: A pet house includes a base with an integrated pine litter box assembly and a cage connected thereto. The base has a drawer hole on its front side, and the built-in pine litter box assembly is installed inside the drawer hole. The top of the base has an installation hole that communicates with the drawer hole.

[0006] Furthermore, the built-in pine litter box assembly is a double-layer design, including a pine litter box on the upper layer and a urine pad placement plate on the lower layer that is slidably connected to the pine litter box.

[0007] Furthermore, the mounting hole at the top of the base is provided with a snap-fit ​​hole, and a guardrail is installed in the mounting hole at the top of the base.

[0008] Furthermore, the enclosure is fastened into the fastening hole, and the enclosure is located inside the mounting hole and above the cat litter container.

[0009] Furthermore, the enclosure is a semi-enclosed enclosure or a fully enclosed enclosure.

[0010] Furthermore, one side of the fully enclosed enclosure has a chamfer, and a sand-draining mesh is fixed on the inner wall of the fully enclosed enclosure.

[0011] Furthermore, the fully enclosed enclosure is formed by five directions: front, back, left, right, and top, and has an entrance / exit door that is connected to the cage body on at least one side.

[0012] Furthermore, the semi-enclosed enclosure is formed by four directions: front, back, left, and right, with the top connected to the cage body.

[0013] Furthermore, a replaceable plate-shaped component is adapted to be provided in the mounting hole. The plate-shaped component is a solid flat plate for conventional support or a sand-sifting plate with screening function.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings: Example

[0027] A pet house includes a base 1 with an integrated pine litter box assembly 5 and a cage 3 connected thereto. The connection between the two is a snap-fit ​​method, that is, the base 1 has a plurality of grooves, and the cage 3 has the same number of locking posts or blocks as the grooves. The two structures interlock with each other to fix the two together and also facilitate disassembly for transportation or storage.

[0028] The base 1 has a drawer hole on the front side, and a built-in pine cat litter box component 5 that is compatible with it is installed in the drawer hole. The top of the base 1 has an installation hole that is connected to the drawer hole. Example

[0029] Based on Embodiment 1, the built-in pine litter box assembly 5 is a double-layer design, including a pine litter box 501 set in the upper layer and a urine pad placement plate 502 set in the lower layer and slidably connected to the pine litter box 501, so that users can directly pull open the lower urine pad placement plate to change the urine pad. Example

[0030] Based on Embodiment 2, a locking block 9 is provided at the lower end of the pee pad placement plate 502, and a rotary lock 10 is provided at the upper end of the pine litter box 501. The advantage of this structure is that the user can directly pull open the lower layer to replace the pee pad placement plate, and when the user pulls open the upper layer of the pine litter box, due to the design of the locking block 9, the upper and lower layers will be pulled out simultaneously. Therefore, it is convenient and quick to replace cat litter and pee pads at the same time. The rotary lock 10 is provided at the upper end of the pine litter box. By rotating the handle, the rotary lock 10 can be opened and closed, which can be used to fix the built-in pine litter box assembly 5 and prevent it from sliding out of the drawer hole. Example

[0031] Based on Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2, or Embodiment 3, the mounting hole at the top of the base 1 is provided with a snap hole, and the mounting hole at the top of the base 1 is provided with a guardrail.

[0032] The enclosure is fastened into the buckle hole, and the enclosure is located inside the mounting hole and above the cat litter container 501.

[0033] Furthermore, the enclosure can be a semi-enclosed enclosure 503 or a fully enclosed enclosure 504.

[0034] When the enclosure is a semi-enclosed enclosure 503, the semi-enclosed enclosure 503 is formed by enclosing the enclosure from four directions: front, back, left, and right, and the top is connected to the cage body.

[0035] When the enclosure is a fully enclosed enclosure 504, the fully enclosed enclosure 504 is formed by five directions: front, back, left, right and top, and at least one side is provided with an entrance and exit that are connected to the cage body 3. Example

[0036] Based on Embodiment 1, a replaceable plate-like component is fitted inside the mounting hole. This plate-like component can be a solid flat plate for conventional support or a sand-sifting plate 7 with a sieving function, which the user can choose according to actual needs. When using the sand-sifting plate 7, cat litter on the pet's body will fall from the sand-sifting plate 7 into the drawer 6 while the pet is playing, increasing the fun and avoiding frequent cleaning. At the same time, it enables the pine wood cat litter box to achieve functions such as ventilation, deodorization, and preventing sand splashing. Example

[0037] Based on the above five embodiments, the cage 3 in this embodiment is a modular cage 3, with one or more shelves 4 inside. The shelves 4 can be distributed vertically or horizontally. Hooks 8 are provided on the outer walls of the shelves 4. The hooks 8 are fastened to the modular cage 3 and positioned by plastic screws to position the shelves 4 inside the modular cage 3. Positioning is simple and convenient, forming a three-dimensional climbing network to meet the instinctive needs of pets such as cats to climb and jump.

[0038] It is worth mentioning that in the above six embodiments, a built-in pine cat litter box component 5 can be installed in the drawer hole, or a drawer can be installed.

[0039] When the drawer 6 is provided, it can be used to store cat food, treats, deworming medicine and other supplies, while the sand tray 7 is used for pets to rest.

[0040] When a pine wood litter container 501 is installed, the bottom of the litter container 501 has filter holes. The filter holes allow cat urine to permeate to the pee pad below, achieving solid-liquid separation, reducing the amount of litter used and improving deodorization. When the pee pad placement plate 502 adopts a drawer-type sliding structure, it can be pulled out from the side when changing, without having to turn over the litter, avoiding dust irritating the pet's respiratory tract. The natural absorbency of pine wood litter combined with the water-locking function of the pee pad can quickly absorb excrement and suppress odor.

[0041] It is worth mentioning that this utility model is designed as a pet house. To better assist users in moving the product, three or more omnidirectional wheels are provided at the bottom of the base 1. The cage body also has multiple cage doors, which can adopt a traditional single-leaf opening and closing method or a horizontal sliding rail moving method, making it convenient for pets to enter and exit the cage.

[0042] Meanwhile, as needed, one side of the fully enclosed enclosure 504 can be chamfered, and a sand-leaking net 505 is fixed (which can be an integral connection structure) on the inner wall of the fully enclosed enclosure 504 to form a closed structure with stronger privacy. The style can be selected by the user. Compared with ordinary cat houses, the built-in pine cat litter box eliminates the need to worry about buying a cat litter box that is not suitable for the cage, and there is no need to open the door to scoop the litter box, worrying that the cat will take the opportunity to escape. You can simply pull it open to clean it.

[0043] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles and main features of this invention, as well as its advantages. Those skilled in the art should understand that this invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to this invention without departing from its spirit and scope. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of this invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
