Basin with automatic filling of cat litter and sand cleaning function

This creation is a basin with automatic filling of litter and sand cleaning functions, especially for detecting weight changes on the basin, and automatically replenishing the litter and starting the sand cleaning device through the detected weight changes.

The people who love cats are not a minority in Taiwan, especially in urbanized societies, the cats are much more suitable for dogs. Most of the owners use cat litter when feeding cats. Cat litter is used by the owner to bury feces and urine, and sometimes used for pot-bellied pigs. The object has good water absorption and is generally used together with a litter box (or cat toilet). The appropriate amount of cat litter is poured into the litter box. The trained cat will enter the cat when it needs to be excreted. The sand pot is drained on it; the use of cat litter is the cat's instinct, and most cats can easily learn to use cat litter.

However, the replacement of cat litter is the necessary action of the owner during the feeding process. However, if the owner is forgotten to replenish the cat litter due to busyness, or if the cat litter cannot be replenished for many days, it will easily lead to too little litter causing feces or urine. The liquid cannot be effectively formed into a block, which causes environmental pollution.

Or, when the cat discharges feces or urine on the cat's sand, the owner may not be able to remove it immediately because of busy or traveling for many days, which may also cause poor indoor odor and bacterial growth.

In order to solve the above problem that the cat litter cannot be automatically filled and the excrement is removed, the present author is working to develop a basin body that automatically replenishes the litter and sand cleaning function, comprising: a basin having an opening and connecting the same a plurality of litter caps are disposed in the accommodating space, and a weight sensing unit is disposed at the bottom of the pot body for detecting the weight of the cat litter; a filling unit is hanged The sanding unit is electrically connected to the weight sensing unit, and the filling unit has a sand-filling space for filling the cat litter; a sand cleaning unit is coupled to the pot body and The cat litter is in contact with each other; when the filling unit receives the weight of the litter felt sensed by the weight sensing unit less than a predetermined weight, filling the litter in the sand-filling space into the basin And when the weight of the litter felts by the weight sensing unit generates a weight change, the sand cleaning unit is activated to remove one of the excrement on the litter.

Wherein, the filling unit has a connecting tube, the connecting tube is connected to the accommodating space and the sand-filling space, and the connecting tube is further provided with a switch member, the switch member is electrically connected to the weight sensing unit, and the switch member is electrically connected to the weight sensing unit The switch member is configured to control opening or closing communication between the accommodating space and the sand receiving space.

Preferably, the sand cleaning unit comprises a swing arm and an outer container, wherein the outer container is hung on the basin, and a clear sand net is disposed on the side wall and the bottom of the outer container. The sanding net is in contact with the cat litter, and the swing arm is coupled to the outer container, and the swing arm is free to move the outer container to follow a movement track, thereby draining the cat litter The object is separated.

The created pot with the function of automatically adding cat litter and clear sand has the following effects:

1. With the weight sensing unit of the present invention, it is timely to detect and notify the filling unit to supplement when the amount of cat litter is reduced, so as to avoid the lack of too much litter of cat litter and the lack of effective formation of feces or urine.

2. The creation can sense the weight change on the basin through the weight sensing unit. When the weight change is suddenly increased and then decreased from the original weight, it can be judged that the cat enters the basin and then drains. Leaving, thus driving the sand cleaning unit to remove the excrement.
