Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to a pet toilet.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Cats, dogs, and other pets are sometimes kept indoors, and the most problematic in such cases is the treatment of excrement. In order to prevent indoor contamination, pet owners discipline pets and excrete them in designated places.

It is common to use a commercially available pet toilet as an excretion place. As for disposal of urine excreted in pet toilets, it is common to use “cat sand”.

[0004] "Cat sand" is a granular material used to lay on a pet toilet and is discarded after urine is absorbed. As the material of the cat sand, any one of pulp materials obtained by hardening pulp dust, minerals such as zeolite, and water-absorbing resin is used.

[0005] The hardened pulp waste is used to absorb urine and then discarded by flushing it with a human toilet. Therefore, there is no need to dispose of the waste and it is convenient for users. Pulp waste is mixed with sewage in the same way as toilet paper, and is treated at a sewage treatment plant. However, as the amount used increases, sewage treatment becomes difficult, and the burden on the treatment equipment increases. Furthermore, in toilets that are not fully equipped with sewage, the burden on the septic tank increases, and depending on the amount used, purification may not be possible.

[0006] On the other hand, when the cat sand of the mineral type is flushed in the toilet, the water pipe is clogged, so that it is discarded as non-burnable garbage. However, it is heavy and requires labor to collect garbage, and it is difficult to dispose of the garbage because it does not burn. Since it is originally a mineral, it may be used as soil as it is, but it may pollute the surrounding environment because it absorbs urine.

[0007] The water-absorbent resin has the property of expanding to several tens to several hundreds of times when absorbed into water to form a jelly-like shape, and is also used as a material for disposable diapers for babies and sanitary products for women. Have been. When used to treat pet urine, the water-absorbing resin placed on the pet urinal absorbs urine and turns into jelly, which is then discarded as non-burnable garbage.

[0008] The raw material of the water-absorbent resin is petroleum, and it is not desirable to consume it daily as a disposable in recent times when petroleum resources are depleted. It also has the problem of garbage disposal like mineral-based cat sand.

[0009] There is also a means of disciplining cats without using "cat sand" and causing them to stool with a human toilet, but it is difficult to discipline them. It is difficult even for animals other than light cats to get on human toilet seats.

[0010]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a pet toilet that can easily discard pet urine, does not generate garbage, and does not burden sewage treatment.

Since the mat (15) is detachably fixed to the toilet such as a frame, the mat (15) can be easily replaced if the effect becomes weak.

[0020]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described using preferred embodiments.

Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a pet toilet (1) of the present embodiment. The basic shape is a tray-like shape having an upper edge (5) on the upper surface, and a cavity (3) is formed inside.

As the material, a material having a strength such that it is not damaged even when a pet is put thereon, and which is hardly rusted, cracked, or corroded, for example, plastic, polycarbonate, ABS, stainless steel, or the like can be used.

The size of the pet toilet (1) may be appropriately determined according to the size of the corresponding pet. As a general rule, pets are placed on the upper surface (2) of the pet toilet (1) to urinate, so the size should be based on the size of the pet. In other words, small animals such as cats and ferrets may be small, and large animals such as dogs may be large.

The upper surface is a receiving portion (2), and pets such as dogs and cats are disciplined to put urine on the pet. An upper edge portion (5) is provided around the saucer portion (2) to prevent urine dropped by the pet on the saucer portion (2) from spilling around.

The receiving portion (2) is provided with a weak inclination such that the center portion is slightly dented. A urine outlet (4) is provided at the lowest position of the pan section (2). The urine outlet (4) is a small through hole communicating with the internal cavity (3). The size of the urine outlet (4) may be any size as long as urine placed on the pan (2) falls into the cavity (3). In the illustrated embodiment, one urine outlet (4) is provided, but a plurality of urine outlets may be provided.

The urine discharged into the pan section (2) flows downward along the slope on the pan section (2), and finally falls into the hollow section (3) through the urine outlet (4). . Urine that has fallen into the cavity (3) is stored in the cavity (3).

A urine outlet (9) communicating with the cavity (3) is provided on the bottom surface (6). The urine outlet (9) is a flow path used to discard urine stored in the cavity (3), and is normally closed by an opening / closing door (10) to prevent urine from flowing out of the cavity (3). ing. The lower end of the urine outlet (9) slightly protrudes from the bottom surface (6). Thereby, it is possible to prevent the urine discharged from the urine outlet (9) from going around the bottom surface (6) and attaching thereto.

The opening / closing door (10) is locked in a groove (8a) formed in a rail portion (8) provided on the bottom surface, and can be slid along the groove (8a). The urine outlet (9) can be opened and closed by moving to the slide position. A packing member (11) is provided at the lower end of the urine outlet (9) so as to maintain a liquid-tight state with the door (10). Thereby, it is possible to prevent the urine stored in the cavity (3) from leaking from the urine outlet (9) during use.

The reason why the opening / closing door (10) is of the sliding type is that if the cap type is used, the hands are stained by urine flowing out when the cap is opened. By sliding the opening and closing door (10) away from the urine outlet (9), the urine discharged from the urine outlet (9) can be prevented from catching on the hand.

When the urine accumulates in the cavity (3), the owner brings the pet toilet (1) to the toilet and slides the door (10) on the human toilet to move the urine outlet ( The urine stored in the cavity (3) is discharged from 9). The excreted urine falls into the human urinal, so the rest should be flushed as usual.

A lower edge (7) is provided around the bottom (6). When the pet toilet (1) is placed on the floor, the rail (8) and the door (10) are opened. It does not interfere with the floor. Instead of the lower edge (7), a leg may be provided on the bottom surface to secure a space between the bottom surface and the floor.

Although the urine outlet (9) is provided on the bottom surface (6), if the urine stored in the cavity (3) can be efficiently discharged, it is provided at another position, for example, a lower portion of the side surface. May be. If it is installed at the bottom of the side, the pet toilet (1) should be slightly tilted so that urine collects on the side where the urine outlet is provided when urine is discharged.

As described above, the use of this embodiment eliminates the necessity of the conventional cat sand, and the accumulated urine can be discarded from the toilet as it is. Therefore, it can contribute to resource saving and elimination of garbage problems, and also reduce the burden of sewage treatment.

Embodiment 2 In this embodiment, the basic structure is the same as that of Embodiment 1, but a deodorizing action is provided on a pan portion on the upper surface, and a mat that allows moisture to pass is provided. The points are different. FIG. 2 is a sectional view of this embodiment.

The mat (15) is arranged on the receiving tray (2). (16) in the figure is a mat holding frame for attaching the mat (15) to the pan (2), and is provided between the upper edge (5) by covering the mat (15). The mat (15) can be sandwiched and held. The mat (15) may be laid so as to be in contact with the pan (2) as shown in the figure, or may be slightly pulled by the mat holding frame (16) and slightly floated from the pan (2). May be attached. If the mat holding frame (16) protrudes toward the pan (2), urine may adhere to and accumulate on that portion, so that it does not protrude inward from the upper edge (5) as shown. It is desirable to have a structure.

A nonwoven fabric comprising the mat (15) and fibrous activated carbon is particularly effective, has a high adsorption capacity, and has a larger surface area than granular activated carbon. Of course, it is also effective in deodorizing ammonia odor. Activated carbon made from recycled waste tires, which has been researched in recent years, has a large effect of adsorbing ammonia odor and is inexpensive. Therefore, it is preferable to use this sandwiched between nonwoven fabrics.

Since the mat (15) allows moisture to pass through, the urine placed on the mat (15) passes through the mat (15) to reach the pan section (2), and as in the first embodiment, the urine outlet (4) ) And is stored in the cavity (3). The discharged urine and the like are the same as in the first embodiment.

Since the mat (15) uses a deodorant such as activated carbon as a material, urine stored in the cavity (3) and ammonia odor due to urine adhering to the pan (2) can be removed from the mat (15). ) Can be efficiently adsorbed to prevent unpleasant odor from drifting around.

When the deodorizing power of the mat (15) is reduced by use, or when the dirt of feces and the like becomes severe, the mat (15) can be replaced by removing the mat holding frame (16). Since the removed mat (15) is originally activated carbon, it can be discarded as burning garbage and incinerated at a garbage disposal site. Others are the same as the first embodiment.

In this embodiment, a fibrous activated carbon nonwoven fabric is used as the mat (15). However, as a variation, a deodorant other than activated carbon is sandwiched between the nonwoven fabrics, and a fragrance, a disinfectant and the like are used. You may make it carry between nonwoven fabrics. Also, it is known that tea leaves have deodorant and antibacterial effects, and this can also be used by sandwiching it in a nonwoven fabric.

Third Embodiment In the first embodiment, the urine stored in the cavity (3) is discharged to the outside through the urine outlet (9) provided in the bottom (6). The urine outlet (9) of (6) is not provided, and a pump is used for discharging.

FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the present embodiment. (20) is a small pump, which is attached to the pet toilet (1). A channel (22) is formed below the cavity (3) to reach the suction side of the pump, through which urine in the cavity (3) can be guided into the pump (20). it can.

When the pump (20) is operated, urine is discharged through a hose (21) connected to the pump. The discharged urine may be poured into a human toilet similarly to the first embodiment.

Since there is no opening / closing door (11) for the urine outlet (9) at the bottom, the number of lower edges (7) is reduced as compared with the first embodiment in which the urine outlet is provided at the bottom. Or can be eliminated. Also, in the case of the present embodiment, a mat (15) may be arranged in the receiving tray (2) on the upper surface as in the second embodiment.

Fourth Embodiment In the first to third embodiments, it is necessary to move the toilet itself to a human toilet in order to discharge urine stored in the cavity. If it is a cat or small dog toilet, it is not large and the weight is light, so there is no problem in moving it. However, in the case of a large dog toilet, the toilet itself becomes large and the weight tends to be large.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the stored urine can be discharged without moving the pet toilet itself. FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the present embodiment. The toilet body is not integral, but can be split up and down. In the figure, (1a) is the upper part of the toilet body, (1b) is the lower part of the toilet body, and both are removably fitted by the fitting part (1c).

Although a cavity is provided inside the toilet body as in the first embodiment, in this embodiment, urine is not directly stored in the cavity, but urine is stored in the cavity (30). Urine is stored in the urine tank (32). The urine storage tank (32) may be made of a certain shape such as a plastic tank to a certain degree, or may be a flexible bag such as a plastic bag or a plastic bag.

The urine storage tank (32) has an opening (32a) for guiding urine therein. The urine outlet (4) extends downward to form a cylindrical portion (31). The lower end of the cylindrical portion (31) is connected to the opening (32a) of the urine storage tank (32) or is disposed so as to enter the inside of the opening (32a). This is because urine that has fallen from the urine outlet (4) passes through the opening (32a) and falls into the urine storage tank (32).

When a synthetic resin bag such as a plastic bag is used as the urine storage tank (32), the opening of the bag is firmly attached to the cylindrical portion (31) so that urine in the bag does not leak. Is it necessary to attach it securely to the bottom of the toilet body (1b) so that the mouth of the bag is open? If a synthetic resin bag is used as the urine storage tank (32), the weight of the urine storage tank itself can be reduced, and the urine storage tank can be easily transported when the stored urine is discarded. Also, it is easy to replace with a new bag, and the cost is low.

Since the pet toilet body can be divided, when the upper part (1a) of the toilet body is separated from the lower part (1b) of the toilet body, the cavity (30) inside the toilet can be opened. Therefore, when discarding urine stored in the urine storage tank (32), remove the upper part of the toilet body (1a), take out only the urine storage tank (32) stored in the cavity, and place it in the toilet. You can take it away and throw it away. That is, since only the urine storage tank (32) needs to be moved, there is no need to move the main body of the pet urinal, which facilitates the operation of discarding urine. This is particularly effective for large and heavy toilet bowls for large dogs.

In the case of this embodiment, a deodorizing mat may be provided in the receiving tray (2) on the upper surface, as in the second embodiment.
