Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pet supplies, and particularly to a toilet for cats.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, it has become increasingly common to keep cats at home, and accordingly, the demand for cat toilet products has also been increasing. When using a cat toilet, cat litter is spread on the bottom of the litter box to absorb or conceal the excrement of the cat. However, from a hygiene perspective, the litter box itself also needs to be cleaned regularly.

[0003] However, in actual use, the excretion of cats (especially urine) is not always carried out on the cat litter at the bottom of the litter box, and often adheres to the side walls as well. Therefore, urine and fecal stains tend to remain on the side walls of the litter box. Furthermore, even when a cat excretes on the cat litter, the urine easily adheres to the bottom of the box together with the cat litter, and it is difficult to completely remove the stains even with a scoop.

[0004] Therefore, in order to maintain the hygiene of the living environment and the cleanliness of the indoor air, it is necessary not only to replace the cat litter regularly but also to frequently clean the cat toilet itself.

[0005] However, conventional cat toilet products and technical means have the following problems. That is, the cleaning work is complicated. In conventional products, there is no drain hole provided at the bottom of the litter box, and there is also no drawer structure that can temporarily store a certain amount of sewage.

[0006] Therefore, the owner has to repeat the operation of moving the entire toilet to the bathroom or the like, drying it after cleaning, and then returning it to the original installation location. Since a cat toilet is usually a relatively large container with a certain depth, such handling is a great burden on the owner.

[0007] Furthermore, since there is no drain outlet provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the litter box, sewage remains in the box during cleaning, which greatly impairs the efficiency and cleaning effect of the cleaning operation.

[0008] Therefore, it is desired to provide a toilet for cats that can solve the above problems, is easy to clean, and can facilitate drainage treatment.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0009] In order to solve the problems of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a toilet for cats.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0010] The toilet for cats of the present invention includes a main body, and the upper structure of the main body is a litter box. The bottom of the litter box has two inclined surfaces whose planes incline towards the center, and a drain outlet is provided between these inclined surfaces.

[0011] A drain outlet cover plate is provided at the drain outlet, and an installation space is formed at the lower part of the main body. A drawer seat is installed in this installation space, a recess is provided at the upper part of the drawer seat, and a drawer is installed in the recess.

[0012] Furthermore, the drawer is located directly below the drain outlet, and a handle is provided on the drawer. In addition, a drawer outlet is provided at the lower part of the main body.

[0013] Furthermore, the length and width of the drawer seat are designed to be slightly smaller than those of the installation space respectively, ensuring the stability during installation.

[0014] Furthermore, a recessed handle is provided on the upper surface of the drain outlet cover plate, making it easy to remove.

Effects of the Invention

[0015] The cat toilet provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art.

[0016] 1. When the owner cleans the cat toilet, there is no need to carry the toilet body to the bathroom, and it can be easily cleaned on the spot.

[0017] 2. The efficiency and effect of the cleaning work are improved, and daily maintenance becomes easier.

[0018] 3. The cleaning and replacement of the cat litter can be easily carried out. The owner can use the drain opening provided at the bottom of the litter box to draw out and collect the old cat litter for disposal. This operation can be carried out more quickly and conveniently compared with the conventional method of scooping up the cat litter using a cat litter scoop.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] To make the content of this invention easier to understand, hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, typical embodiments of this invention will be described in detail.

[0021] Example 1: As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, this invention is a cat toilet and includes a main body (1). The upper structure of the main body (1) is a litter box (2), and a drain opening (3) is provided at the bottom of the litter box (2).

[0022] A drain cover plate (4) is arranged inside this drain opening (3), and a mounting space (5) is formed at the lower part of the main body (1). A drawer seat (6) is provided inside the mounting space (5), and a recess (7) is formed on the upper surface of the drawer seat (6). A drawer (8) is provided inside this recess (7).

[0023] Also, a drawer outlet (9) is provided on the lower side wall of the main body (1), and a handle (10) is provided on the drawer (8). Further, a recessed handle (11) is provided on the upper surface of the drain cover plate (4) to facilitate removal.

[0024] Note that the main body (1), the drain cover plate (4), the drawer seat (6), and the drawer (8) are all parts manufactured by injection molding.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 4, the bottom of the inner cavity of the cat litter box (2) has two inclined surfaces that slope downward toward the center, and the drain opening (3) is provided between these inclined surfaces. The drawer (8) is arranged directly below the drain opening (3).

[0026] As shown in FIG. 5, the drawer (8) is located directly below the drain opening (3), and since the length and width of the drawer seat (6) are configured to be slightly smaller than those of the mounting space (5), the drawer seat (6) has a structure in which displacement and movement are less likely to occur within the mounting space (5).

[0027] In this embodiment, by configuring the bottom of the inner cavity of the cat litter box (2) as a structure of "two inclined surfaces + drain opening (3)" and providing a drawer (8) below the drain opening (3), when the owner cleans the cat toilet, there is no need to carry the toilet body to the bathroom, and it can be easily cleaned on the spot just by removing the drain cover plate (4).

[0028] The sewage generated during cleaning flows along the inclined plane at the bottom of the inner cavity of the cat litter box (2) into the drain outlet (3) and is collected in the drawer (8) arranged directly below the drain outlet (3). After the cleaning is completed, the drawer (8) is pulled out and carried to a bathroom or the like. After discarding the sewage, it is gently cleaned and then returned to the drawer seat (6) to complete the treatment.

[0029] In this technical solution, when assembling the drawer seat (6) and the main body (1), the drawer seat (6) is arranged inside the mounting space (5) formed in the main body (1), the drain outlet cover plate (4) is attached to the drain outlet (3), and the drawer (8) is installed in the recess (7) provided in the drawer seat (6).

[0030] When cleaning is required, first remove the drain outlet cover plate (4) from the drain outlet (3), and then pour water into the cat litter box (2) for cleaning. The sewage collects in the drawer (8) through the drain outlet (3). After cleaning, the drawer (8) can be taken out of the recess (7) using the handle (10) and carried to a bathroom or the like to discard the sewage.

[0031] It should be noted that although the embodiments of the present invention are as described above, it is obvious that those of ordinary skill in the art can make various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations without departing from the technical idea and basic configuration of the present invention.

[0032] The technical scope of the present invention is defined by the scope of the attached invention registration claims and their equivalents.
