Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of animal excrement collection equipment, and in particular to a pet toilet. Background Technology

[0002] Pet toilets are mainly used for collecting pet feces. Taking cat toilets as an example, they mainly use a litter box structure. Through understanding the relevant technologies, some cat toilets have an automatic cleaning function, which can regularly clean up clumps of litter and collect them together for the owner's convenience.

[0003] Taking the rotating cat litter box structure as an example, the rotating cat litter box mainly consists of an outer shell and a rotating chamber installed on the outer shell. The chamber has an opening for the cat to enter and exit. Based on the understanding of related technologies, some rotating cat litter boxes may cause the cat to get stuck when cleaning clumped cat litter, as the opening on the chamber may intersect with the outer shell wall. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of at least one specific embodiment of this utility model is to overcome the defects of the existing technology and provide a pet toilet.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A pet toilet, comprising:

[0007] shell;

[0008] The hull is rotatably mounted inside the outer shell;

[0009] The cabin has openings, and the cabin contains filter plates and partitions.

[0010] The filter plate and partition plate form a partition, which divides the inner cavity of the cabin into an active compartment and a fecal collection compartment.

[0011] The filter plates and partitions, when combined, form a filter chamber with the inner wall of the cabin.

[0012] The opening is connected to the active chamber, and the active chamber is connected to the fecal collection chamber.

[0013] The hull has a first leak hole that connects to the feces collection chamber, and the outer shell has a second leak hole.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer edges of the filter plates and partitions extend to the inner walls of the cabin;

[0015] Furthermore, the planes where the filter plate and the partition are located intersect, and the intersection of the filter plate and the partition forms a connecting part. The connecting part and the inner wall of the cabin form a communication port, which keeps the active chamber and the fecal collection chamber connected.

[0016] Furthermore, the filter plate has filter holes, and the filter chamber is kept in communication with the movable chamber through the filter holes.

[0017] Furthermore, the outer shell and the cabin are connected by a pivot, and the outer shell is equipped with a drive unit that controls the rotation of the cabin. The drive unit can drive the cabin to rotate around the center line of the pivot inside the outer shell.

[0018] Furthermore, the center line of the rotating shaft is parallel to the plane where the filter plate is located.

[0019] Furthermore, a guide plate is provided inside the fecal collection chamber, which is adapted to guide the fecal collected in the fecal collection chamber to the location of the first leakage hole.

[0020] Another technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0021] A pet toilet, comprising:

[0022] shell;

[0023] The hull is rotatably mounted inside the outer shell;

[0024] The cabin has openings, and the cabin contains filter plates and partitions.

[0025] The filter plate and partition plate form a partition, which divides the inner cavity of the cabin into an active compartment and a fecal collection compartment.

[0026] The filter plates and partitions, when combined, form a filter chamber with the inner wall of the cabin.

[0027] The opening is connected to the active chamber, and the active chamber is connected to the fecal collection chamber.

[0028] The hull is provided with a first leak hole that connects to the feces collection chamber, and the outer shell is provided with a second leak hole;

[0029] The active compartment of the cabin is filled with particulate matter;

[0030] Pet toilets have two operating modes: a feces screening mode and a feces removal mode.

[0031] When in fecal screening mode, the chamber rotates in the first direction inside the outer shell, causing the particles filled in the active chamber to sweep across the surface of the filter plate, and the unagglomerated particles pass through the filter plate and fall into the filter chamber.

[0032] At the same time, the filter plate traps the agglomerated particles. As the chamber rotates further in the first direction, the agglomerated particles trapped on the surface of the filter plate roll from the active chamber into the fecal collection chamber.

[0033] When in the feces discharge mode, the chamber rotates in the second direction inside the outer shell, causing the clumps of particles in the feces collection chamber to roll to the position of the first leak hole. When the first leak hole corresponds to the second leak hole, the clumps of particles leak out from the second leak hole.

[0034] Furthermore, the first direction and the second direction are opposite.

[0035] Furthermore, the outer edges of the filter plates and partitions extend to the inner walls of the cabin;

[0036] Furthermore, the planes where the filter plate and the partition are located intersect, and the intersection of the filter plate and the partition forms a connecting part. The connecting part and the inner wall of the cabin form a communication port, which keeps the active chamber and the fecal collection chamber connected.

[0037] Furthermore, the outer shell and the cabin are connected by a pivot, and the outer shell is equipped with a drive unit that controls the rotation of the cabin. The drive unit can drive the cabin to rotate around the center line of the pivot inside the outer shell.

[0038] Furthermore, a guide plate is provided inside the fecal collection chamber, which is adapted to guide the agglomerated particles collected in the fecal collection chamber to the location of the first leak hole.

[0039] The beneficial technical effect of the pet toilet provided in this application compared with the prior art is that: when the chamber of the pet toilet rotates in the first direction, it can filter the clumped cat litter inside the chamber and collect the clumped cat litter into the feces collection chamber. After the clumped cat litter is collected, the chamber rotates in the second direction (opposite to the first direction) until the first drain hole on the feces collection chamber corresponds to the second drain hole on the outer shell. At this time, the clumped particles are leaked out from the second drain hole, thereby realizing the automatic cleaning of clumped cat litter. During the cleaning process, the chamber rotates in two different directions respectively. During the rotation, the opening on the chamber will not get stuck in the body of the pet cat, avoiding injury to the pet cat. Attached Figure Description

[0049] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 A pet toilet 100 includes a housing 10, a chamber 20 rotatably installed inside the housing 10, a support foot 30 installed at the bottom of the housing 10, the housing 10 and the chamber 20 being connected by a pivot 40, and a drive unit on the housing 10 for controlling the rotation of the chamber 20. The drive unit can drive the chamber 20 to rotate around the center line of the pivot 40 inside the housing 10. The drive unit is preferably a motor, and the motor can be equipped with a reducer to control the rotation of the chamber 20.

[0051] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 The cabin 20 has an opening 201, and the cabin contains a filter plate 202 and a partition plate 203.

[0052] The filter plate 202 and the partition plate 203 form a partition, which divides the inner cavity of the chamber 20 into an active chamber 204 and a fecal collection chamber 205. After the filter plate 202 and the partition plate 203 are closed together, they form a filter chamber 206 with the inner wall of the chamber 20.

[0053] The opening 201 is connected to the activity chamber 204, and the opening 201 is used for the pet cat to enter and exit the activity chamber 204. The activity chamber 204 is connected to the feces collection chamber 205. The chamber 20 is provided with a first leakage hole 207 connected to the feces collection chamber 205, and the outer shell 10 is provided with a second leakage hole 101.

[0054] Furthermore, the outer edges of the filter plate 202 and the partition plate 203 extend to the inner wall of the chamber 20, and the planes on which the filter plate 202 and the partition plate 203 are located intersect. The intersection of the filter plate 202 and the partition plate 203 forms a connecting part 208. The connecting part 208 and the inner wall of the chamber 20 form a communication port 50, which keeps the active chamber 204 and the fecal collection chamber 205 connected.

[0055] Furthermore, the filter plate 202 has filter holes, and the filter chamber 206 is connected to the movable chamber 204 through the filter holes.

[0056] Furthermore, the fecal collection chamber 205 is equipped with two guide plates 209, which are arranged in a figure-eight shape inside the fecal collection chamber 205. The guide plates 209 can guide the fecal collected in the fecal collection chamber 205 to the location of the first leakage hole 207.

[0057] When the pet toilet 100 is put into use, the active compartment 204 of the chamber 20 is filled with granules 200 (cat litter). The active compartment 204 provides a sleeping or activity area for the pet cat. When the feces of the pet cat come into contact with the granules 200, they form clumps of granules 300 (clumped cat litter). The pet toilet of this application has the function of automatically cleaning the clumps of granules 300 (clumped cat litter). During the cleaning process, the working modes of the pet toilet 100 include feces screening mode and feces discharge mode.

[0058] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the center line of the rotating shaft 40 is parallel to the plane where the filter plate 202 is located. When the chamber 20 rotates, it can ensure that the particles 200 (cat litter) filled in the movable chamber 204 can fully contact the surface of the filter plate 202.

[0059] The following is a detailed explanation of this application, focusing on its specific working model:

[0060] Reference Figure 4 Under normal circumstances, the chamber 20 is stationary. The pet cat can enter the activity chamber 204 through the opening 201 to rest. During the resting process, the feces excreted by the pet cat come into contact with the granules 200 (cat litter) in the activity chamber 204, forming clumps of granules 300 (clumped cat litter). After the clumps of granules 300 (clumped cat litter) accumulate to a certain extent, they need to be cleaned. The cleaning modes specifically include feces screening mode and feces removal mode.

[0061] When in fecal screening mode, refer to Figure 5 The chamber 20 rotates in the first direction W1 inside the outer shell 10, so that the particles 200 filled in the movable chamber 204 sweep across the surface of the filter plate 202, and the unagglomerated particles 200 pass through the filter plate 202 and fall into the filter chamber 206.

[0062] At the same time, refer to Figure 6 The filter plate 202 traps the agglomerated particles 300. As the chamber 20 rotates further in the first direction W1, the agglomerated particles 300 trapped on the surface of the filter plate 202 roll from the active chamber 204 into the fecal collection chamber 205 along the surface of the filter plate 202.

[0063] When in fecal excretion mode, refer to Figure 7 The chamber 20 rotates in the opposite direction (the first direction W1 and the second direction W2 are opposite) inside the outer shell 10, causing the clumps of particles 300 in the fecal collection chamber 205 to roll to the position of the first leak hole 207. When the first leak hole 207 corresponds to the second leak hole 101, the clumps of particles 300 leak out from the second leak hole 101. The fecal collection box below the outer shell 10 can collect and process the leaked clumps of particles 300.

[0064] Reference Figure 8 After the chamber 20 rotates further in the second direction W2, the filter chamber 206 rotates to the upper region of the chamber 20. At this time, the filter plate 202 is located in the lower region of the filter chamber 206. The clean particles 200 in the filter chamber 206 pass through the filter plate 202 and fall into the movable chamber 204. After all the clean particles 200 in the filter chamber 206 have fallen into the movable chamber 204, the chamber 20 returns to its initial state (refer to...). Figure 4 The clean particles 200 in the active chamber 204 can be reused.

[0065] In summary, when the chamber 20 of the pet toilet 100 rotates in the first direction W1, it can filter the clumped particles 300 (clumped cat litter) inside the chamber 20 and collect the clumped particles 300 (clumped cat litter) into the feces collection chamber 205. After the clumped particles 300 (clumped cat litter) are collected, the chamber 20 rotates in the second direction W2 (opposite to the first direction W1) until the first drain hole 207 on the feces collection chamber 205 corresponds to the second drain hole 101 on the outer shell 10. At this point, the clumped particles 300 (clumped cat litter) leak out from the second drain hole 101, thereby achieving automatic cleaning of the clumped particles 300 (clumped cat litter). During the cleaning process, the chamber 20 will rotate in two different directions. During the rotation, the opening 201 on the chamber 20 will not trap the pet cat's body, thus avoiding injury to the pet cat.

[0066] Further reference Figure 6 ,from Figure 6 As can be seen, during the process of the clumped particles 300 trapped on the surface of the filter plate 202 rolling from the active chamber 204 to the feces collection chamber 205 along the surface of the filter plate 202, if the chamber 20 continues to rotate in the first direction W1, the opening 201 on the chamber 20 will form a gradually narrowing shearing opening relative to the outer shell 10. If a pet cat happens to linger at the opening 201, the shearing opening will trap the pet cat's body. Therefore, to avoid the above problems, the chamber 20 of this application rotates in the first direction W1 when filtering particles 200 and collecting clumped particles 300 (clumped cat litter), and rotates in the opposite direction when discharging clumped particles 300 (clumped cat litter). In this way, the opening 201 on the chamber 20 will not have a large angle of intersection or shearing with the outer shell 10, thus cleverly solving the problem of the cat getting stuck during the rotation of the chamber 20 and avoiding harm to the pet cat.

[0067] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
