Description

INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE This application claims priority to China Patent Application No.: 2024204194791 filed 2024 Jul. 26, China Patent Application No.: 2024204169588, filed 2024 Jul. 26, and Patent China Application No.: 2024204142246, filed 2024 Jul. 26, the contents of each of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD The present disclosure relates to the technical field of pet supplies, and particularly relates to a pet bedpan. BACKGROUND Cats are a kind of household pets popular worldwide, having their own unique character features. Cats like cleanliness and are very alert, and bury their excrement after defecation. At present, a breeder usually prepares a pet bedpan before breeding a cat, and then trains the cat to defecate in the pet bedpan, manually removing excrement discharged by the cat. However, pet bedpans on the market in the prior art have limited functions, requiring manual removal of excrement discharged by cats. A U.S. patent with the publication No. US 20210251182A1 discloses an automated self-cleaning litter box with a disposable receptacle. The litter box includes a guide arrangement to allow for slidably mounting a disposable litter receptacle. The litter box further includes a ramp, a catch basin and a removable mat. Further, an electric drive mechanism is included and connected to a casing body, the electric drive mechanism drives a rake inside the casing body, and a cam is fixedly mounted on the rake. A movable cover component is designed and arranged to cover and expose an opening of the litter receptacle, and the movable cover component can move according to the meshing situation of the cam. A guide rail device is located inside the casing body and is designed and arranged to receive the litter receptacle. The electric drive mechanism drives the rake, the rake moves the cat excrement from the litter box into the litter receptacle, without need to come into close contact with pet excrement by a pet owner, because the litter box can be automatically cleaned in a mechanical manner. A disposable container is arranged in the litter receptacle, and when the disposable container is full, the disposable container can be taken out and replaced with a new container. However, the disposable container is provided with an upper cover, and the upper cover, in a working state, is embedded into a bottom of a cover plate. When it is needed to remove the disposable container, the upper cover embedded into the bottom of the cover plate is removed and covers the disposable container. In this process, the excrement inside the disposable container is still inevitably exposed to the air, thereby causing unpleasant odors in the air. Further, the rake cannot be detached from the electric drive mechanism, and after repeated use, dirt inevitably accumulates on the rake, which makes it inconvenient to clean the rake. SUMMARY The present disclosure aims to solve the technical problems of possibly coming into close contact with pet excrement when replacing a disposable receptacle and encountering difficulty of cleaning a rake. In order to solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure provides a pet bedpan. The pet bedpan includes a box body and a cleaning assembly, where the cleaning assembly is arranged on the box body; a cat litter area for a cat to defecate and a collection bin for collecting cat excrement are arranged in the box body, the collection bin is arranged to be adjacent to and side by side with the cat litter area, two guide rail grooves are formed on an inner side wall of the box body, and the guide rail grooves are located above the cat litter area and the collection bin; the cleaning assembly includes a movable shaft and a cleaning rake, where the cleaning rake is detachably connected to the movable shaft through a locking block, and end portions of the movable shaft are movably arranged in the guide rail grooves, such that the movable shaft moves back and forth in the cat litter area; and a clamping part is arranged on the locking block, a clamping groove is formed on the cleaning rake, and the clamping part can be clamped into the clamping groove, such that the cleaning rake is detachably secured on the movable shaft. According to the technical solution, the movable shaft moves back and forth in the cat litter area, the cleaning rake is detachably arranged on the movable shaft, and when the movable shaft moves back and forth in the cat litter area, the cleaning rake collects the cat excrement into the collection bin without the need for a user to come into close contact with the cat excrement; and when the cleaning rake has hard-to-remove stains, the cleaning rake is detached through the locking block for separate cleaning, and after cleaning and drying, the cleaning rake is remounted on the movable shaft. The present disclosure further provides a pet bedpan, including a box body and a collection bin, where the collection bin is detachably
