State of the art

As society develops, more and more families start keeping pets. Mostly cats and dogs. Although they bring joy to people's daily lives, they also bring a lot of trouble with bowel movements, especially for cats that go to the toilet at home. The owner should prepare cat sand so that the cats can dig in the feces. Therefore, a pet toilet has appeared that is specially suitable for cats. Some pet toilets can automatically collect and clean the cat litter by rotating to avoid the smell of cat litter and cat feces, which pollute the indoor environment. However, the existing automatic pet toilet needs to be disassembled after being used for a certain period of time, and the inside of the device needs to be manually cleaned to avoid bacteria breeding. During cleaning, the rotating cylinder located inside the equipment must be removed.

The conventional rotating cylinder needs to be rigidly connected to the main body of the device with screws or the like, so there is a problem that the device is difficult to disassemble. In addition, once the equipment detects a malfunction or an abnormal power failure, the corresponding components will not be able to operate in the specified position, resulting in the cylinder body being unable to be disassembled. In addition, after a cat uses cat litter, sand remains between her claws. Since there is a problem in the existing automatic pet toilet that the rotating cylinder needs to be removed and cleaned frequently, it is not possible to install a sand step, resulting in the cat litter being spread all over the room due to the movement of the pet, which will affect the hygiene in the house.

In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to design a pet toilet structure that is convenient for disassembly and cleaning.

The utility model provides a pet toilet that can be easily disassembled so that a user can easily take out and clean the defecation bucket 2 of the pet toilet without being limited to the rotation position of the defecation bucket 2.

In particular, the pet toilet is an automatic pet toilet with a rotating defecation bucket 2, its general structure is shown in FIG. 1. The pet toilet consists of a body 1 and a defecation bucket 2 located in the inner cavity of the body 1. One end of the defecation bucket 2, directed inside the body 1 in the axial direction, is fixedly provided with a rotating part 21, the fixing part 11 is located in the corresponding place on the inner wall of the body 1, the elastic movable part 3 extends into the fixing part 11. One end of the elastic movable part 3 can be inserted into the rotating part 21, and the contact surface between them is a curved surface structure concave towards the rotating part 21 ; the rotating part 21 can compress the elastic movable part 3 under the action of an external force to pull it into the fixing part 11 and release the rotating part 21, as a result, the rotating part 21 is detached from the fixing part 11, releasing the defecation bucket 2 at this time.

Specifically, the aforementioned fixing part 11 is a gear 63 that can be rotated by an appropriate device (such as a motor, etc.) and drives the rotating part 21 for synchronous movement, and the defecation bucket 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating part. 21 for synchronous rotation, at this time, the defecation bucket 2 can discharge the feces and used cat litter from the bucket.

The elastic movable part 3 penetrates the locking part 11 and can expand and contract relative to the locking part 11, when it is pulled out, it can contact the rotating part 21 to block the rotating part 21. Under the action of an external force, the rotating part 21 is relatively deflected by certain angle. Because their contact surfaces have a curved structure, the elastic movable part 3 will retract under the compressive action of the rotating part 21 to release the rotating part 21. Through the above structure, locking and disassembly of the rotating part 21 can be conveniently realized, thereby solving the problem that with the traditional connection method, it is difficult to remove the defecation bucket 2.

As an optional embodiment, a channel body 4 is provided on the side of the body 1 remote from the fixing portion 11. The channel body 4 is connected to the inlet and outlet of the defecation bucket 2, and pets can enter and exit the defecation bucket 2 through the channel body 4; the channel body 4 is rotatably provided with a footboard 5, and the footboard 5 can be deflected towards the middle of the channel body 4 by an external force.

Since the channel body 4 is installed at the inlet of the defecation bucket 2, pets can enter and exit the defecation bucket 2 through the channel body 4, and the step 5 can rotate relative to the channel body 4. Therefore, when the defecation bucket 2 is to be removed , the footrest 5 can rotate when the defecation bucket 2 is removed and will not affect the disassembly and removal of the defecation bucket 2.

Embodiment 1:

As shown in FIG. 3 to 9, the present utility model provides a pet toilet which has the advantage of being easy to disassemble and assemble compared to conventional pet toilets.

In particular, the pet toilet includes a body 1 and a defecation bucket 2 located in the inner cavity of the body 1. One end of the defecation bucket 2 is fixedly provided with a rotating part 21 in the axial direction, and the inner wall of the body 1 is provided with a fixing part 11 with side facing the rotating part 21, and the elastic movable part 3 extends into the fixing part 11, one end of the elastic movable part 3 can be inserted into the rotating part 21, and the contact surface between them is a curved surface structure concave towards the rotating parts 21; the rotating part 21 can compress the elastic movable part 3 by an external force to pull it into the fixing part 11 and release the rotating part 21; the side of the body 1 opposite to the fixing part 11 is provided with a channel body 4 which is connected to the inner defecation bucket 2, and pets can pass through the channel body 4 into and out of the defecation bucket 2; on the body of the channel 4 there is a footboard 5 with the possibility of rotation, the footboard 5 can turn and deviate to the middle of the body of the channel 4 under the action of an external force.

Specifically, the aforementioned fixing part 11 is a gear 63 that can be rotated by an appropriate device (such as a motor, etc.) and drives the rotating part 21 for synchronous movement, and the defecation bucket 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating part. 21 for synchronous rotation, at this time, the defecation bucket 2 can discharge the feces and used cat litter from the bucket.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the rotating part 21 and the fixing part 11 can be firmly fixed together, the number of the above-mentioned elastic movable parts 3 is two, and the two elastic movable parts 3 are arranged symmetrically. The symmetrically arranged elastic moving part 3 can improve the strength of the connection between the rotating part 21 and the fixing part 11 without affecting the normal use of the mechanism, preventing the rotating part 21 from falling off the fixing part 11 due to vibration and other factors, and improving the safety of the equipment.

Generally speaking, since the mechanism is located inside the pet toilet, when the hole 12 of the pet toilet is located above the rotating part 21, the two elastic movable parts 3 are arranged symmetrically on the left and right; when the opening 12 of the pet toilet is located on the left or right side of the rotating part 21, the two elastic movable parts 3 are arranged symmetrically at the top and bottom. In addition, when there is a large gap between the rotating part 21 and the pet toilet body 1 for moving the rotating part 21, the movement of the rotating part 21 is not limited to the position of the opening 12.

Since the channel body 4 is installed at the inlet of the defecation bucket 2, pets can enter and exit the defecation bucket 2 through the channel body 4, and the step 5 can rotate relative to the channel body 4. Therefore, when the defecation bucket 2 is to be removed , the footrest 5 can rotate when the defecation bucket 2 is removed and will not affect the disassembly and removal of the defecation bucket 2.

The elastic movable part 3 penetrates the locking part 11 and can expand and contract relative to the locking part 11, when it is pulled out, it can contact the rotating part 21 to block the rotating part 21. Under the action of an external force, the rotating part 21 is relatively deflected by certain angle. Because their contact surfaces have a curved structure, the elastic movable part 3 will retract under the compressive action of the rotating part 21 to release the rotating part 21. Through the above structure, locking and disassembly of the rotating part 21 can be conveniently realized, thereby solving the problem that with the traditional connection method, it is difficult to remove the defecation bucket 2.

As an optional embodiment, the elastic movable part 3 includes a fixing part 31 and an elastic part 32, which can generate elastic deformation when the fixing part 31 is pushed out; the fixing part 31 includes a fixing plate 311, the fixing plate 311 extends to the rotating part 21, forming the first through column 312, the end of the first through column 312 forms a convex curved structure, and the elastic part 32 is located on the side of the fixing plate 311 remote from the first through column 312.

Due to the elastic portion 32, the elastic movable portion 32 can expand and contract relative to the locking portion 11 to block and release the rotating portion 21. In addition, in use, the elastic portion 32 is always in a non-stretched state, the locking portion 31 is fixedly connected or tightly connected with the elastic part 32, and the fixing part 31 carries out its movement by compressing the elastic part 32.

As an optional embodiment, the rotating part 21 is a convex block structure located at the end of the body of the defecation bucket 2, the side wall of which is provided with a locking recess 211, and the elastic movable part 3 can be connected to the rotating part 21 through the locking recess 211, the locking part 11 extends towards one side of the rotating part 21, forming two oppositely located partitions 111, between the two partitions 111 there is a groove 112 for accommodating the rotating part 21, and at least one partition 111 is provided with an elastic movable part 3.

At this time, the partition 111 and the elastic movable part 3 on the peripheral side of the rotating part 21 can lock and release the rotating part 21: the locking recess 211 on the side wall of the rotating part 21 can be connected to the elastic movable part 3 on the partition 111 to lock and release the rotating part 21. Thus, the locking notch 211 has a curved structure. The end of the elastic movable part 3 may be in close contact with the locking recess 211.

It should be noted that the rotating part 21 is a convex structure, and the volume of the convex should not be too large.

In addition, in order to ensure that the elastic movable part 3 can be securely connected to the fixing part 11 and improve the reliability of the equipment, two opposite baffles 111 can be rigidly connected. At this time, the groove 112 and the baffle 111 form a concave-like structure, and a blind hole or the like is placed at the respective positions of the two opposite baffles 111 to accommodate the elastic movable part 3.

Specifically, the fixing plate 311 also includes a second through column, the second through column is located on the other side of the fixing plate 311 away from the first through column 312, and the elastic portion 32 is a spring structure fixed to the second through column. The baffle 111 has a chamber that can accommodate the elastic part 32 and the fixing part 31, while the fixing plate 311 of the fixing part 31 and the second through column, and the elastic part 32 are located in the chamber, and the first through column 312 passes through the baffle 111 and indicates onto the rotating part 21. The chamber may be provided with a snap-on lid, which may be connected to the baffle 111 by means of a clip or screw fixation. At the same time, the presence of the cover body 13 also contributes to the installation of the elastic movable part 3.

In addition, as an optional embodiment, the baffle 111 can also be provided with a countersink hole 113, the outer part of the countersink hole 113 is fixedly provided with a locking cap 114, one end of the elastic movable part 3 is connected to the protrusion through the countersink hole 113, and the other end is connected with a closure cap 114 as shown in FIG. 9. At this time, the closing cap 114 is firmly connected to the baffle 111 with bolts.

The locking cap 114 can help restrict the resilient movable portion 3 and prevent the resilient movable portion 3 from falling off the baffle 111.

As an optional embodiment, the closure cap 114 may also have a through hole for the second through hole to pass through: when the resilient movable portion 3 is forcefully retracted, the second through hole can pass through the through hole. At this time, the length of the second through column may be longer than the length of the elastic portion 32. The closure portion 31 may move in a fixed direction in the chamber formed by the baffle 111 and the closing cap 114.

In order to ensure that the design of the footplate 5 located on the channel body 4 does not affect the dismantling of the defecation bucket 2, as a further embodiment, the footrest 5 can be rotated relative to the channel body 4 by an external force, and can also remain in an appropriate position or under angle when the external force is removed. The footrest 5 has a certain rotational damping, so it has a high level of safety and avoids injury to pets due to a sudden shock or fall of the footrest 5.

The angle of rotation of the footboard 5 relative to the body of the channel 4 usually does not exceed 90 degrees, so the footrest 5 can rotate and move from one side of the body of the channel 4 in a certain range.

In addition, the channel body 4 may have a surrounding structure such as a circular ring or a rectangular structure with rounded corners. The surrounding design of the channel 4 body makes it easier for pets to get in and out and at the same time enhances the safety of the channel 4 body; in addition, the channel body 4 can also be a non-circular design with a hole 12 at the top end; No matter what design, the footrest 5 is located at the lower end of the channel body 4, for easy entry and exit of pets.

It should be noted that for safety reasons, the inside of the body of the channel 4 (i.e. the side in direct contact with the animal during entry and exit) should be smooth, there should be no sharp structures that could scratch or damage the pet.

The structure of the channel body 4 and footrest 5 will be described below in FIG. 10–17 as an example.

The channel body 4 has an annular structure as a whole and is bent towards the outer periphery of the defecation bucket 2 to form an arcuate structure. In addition, the lower end of the channel body 4 is provided with the first hole of the shaft 41 for mounting the footrest 5, while the footboard 5 is rotatably connected to the channel body 4 through the first hole of the shaft 41.
