Description

Machine for collecting excrement.

Object of the invention

The invention, as expressed in the statement of The present specification refers to a machine for droppings collection.

More specifically, the object of the invention consists of a machine whose purpose is to be applied for the automatic collection of animal feces and disinfection of the area in a given enclosure or perimeter, being specially designed for the areas intended for them in public parks, the so-called "pipí can", may also be applicable in zoos, farms, kennels or dog residences, stables,
etc.

Background of the invention

Currently and as a reference to the state of the technique, it should be mentioned that, by the applicant, unknown the existence of any other machine for collecting droppings that have technical characteristics, structural and configuration similar to those presented by the which is recommended here.

Explanation of the invention.

Specifically, the cage that the invention proposes, consists of a machine designed, as mentioned previously, to perform automated collection of animal feces or feces, in the given area on which it acts, as well as for its disinfection, configuring itself as a remarkable innovation within its field of application.

For this, the machine comprises a housing in which houses a transverse rake that runs between paths guides arranged on the sides of the enclosure to be cleaned.

When the mechanism is activated, which may be performed automatically using the corresponding programming of the control module provided in the associated machine to the electrical panel, said rake, driven by a gearmotor, will leave the housing in an elevated position, moving to the end of the guides.

Once there, the ratchet mechanism that incorporates it descends and returns to the housing sweeping the whole area so that in its path is collecting all droppings, which, at the end of the tour will be deposited on a transverse treadmill provided at the bottom of the housing, equipped with its corresponding reduction motor, being transported to a side container equipped with the corresponding collection bag.

The machine also provides for spraying all the area with a suitable disinfectant product, which will be dispersed by the rake during the described operation of sweeping, for which a small water pump is planned properly connected to a reservoir to contain the disinfectant and to the rake through corresponding pipes.

It should be noted that the machine has a light and sound warning system, in order to prevent and announce properly put into operation to prevent any animal or person is in its area of action, counting, not However, with sensors capable of detecting the presence of obstacles that will automatically stop your operation in your case.

Finally, it should be noted that the machine will be preferably fed by a solar panel, being able, optionally, connect to the network to obtain the supply electric that provides the necessary energy for your functioning.

The new machine for collecting excrement therefore represents an innovative structure of structural and constitutive characteristics unknown until now for that purpose, reasons that together with its practical utility, the provide sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity requested.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive, as an integral part of it, of a game of planes, in which with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, represented the following:

Figure number 1.- Shows a view in perspective of the machine for the collection of excrement, object of the invention, already installed in a public park, being appreciated in her external configuration and the way in which said installation.

Figures number 2 to 5.- They show several perspective views of the machine of the invention, in which have put and removed some of its elements, in order to allow better appreciate their configuration and layout as well as the main parts of which it consists.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the aforementioned figures, and of according to the numbering adopted, you can see in them a preferred embodiment of the invention, which It comprises the following elements:

one

- operating warning system

2

- solar panel

3

- informative sign

4

- Case

5

- guides support

6

- guides

7

- sensors

8

- guide wheel and ratchet

9

rake

10

- rake reduction motor

eleven

- rubber band reduction motor

12

- rubber band and rollers

13

- water pump for disinfectant

14

- disinfectant liquid reservoir.

Thus, as seen in the aforementioned figures, the machine in question consists of a housing (4), which install on one side of the area to which it is intended, under which a rake (9) is provided which, driven by a motor reducer (10) runs transversely over said area fixed in its ends to paths guides (6), which will have been arranged perpendicular to the housing (4) and on the sides of the enclosure to clean.

The rake coupling (9) to the guides (6) is materialized by corresponding lateral supports (5), counting at least one of them with a guide wheel and a ratchet mechanism (8) thus enabling, in addition to the displacement of the rake (9) along the guides (6), the elevation and descent of it. This way, the rake comes out of the housing (4) raised and at the end of the guides descends and returns to her sweeping the entire area.

The rake (9) also has sensors (7), consisting for example of photoelectric cells or similar, suitable for detecting the presence of obstacles, being adequately linked to the electrical panel (16) for, in such case, interrupt the power supply and make the mechanism stops.

For its part, under the housing (4) the incorporation of a rubber tread band (12) or tape conveyor, driven by the corresponding motor reducer (11), which, arranged at a lower level than the terrain, moves to a side container (14) conveniently arranged at its end. This container (14), will be embedded in the ground, being accessible to its interior through its upper door (15), through which the staff maintenance can enter and remove the corresponding bag in which the droppings will be deposited.

Additionally, the invention provides, in addition to the collection of excreta by sweeping the area with said rake (9), spraying it with a disinfectant, for which it has a water pump (13) connected to a tank (17) and rake (9) by corresponding pipes.

It should be noted that the machine can be placed running automatically using the corresponding programming of the control module associated with the electrical panel (16), the light warning system (1) being activated at that time and sound, which is constituted by a light and / or a siren of emergency, conveniently arranged on a side post, having also planned the placement of at least one sign informative (3) to prevent owners of animals from the existence and operation of the machine and the way of acting at activate said warning system (1).

Finally, it should be noted that the machine will be preferably fed by a solar panel (2), being able, optionally, connect to the network to obtain the supply electrical that allows its operation.

Describe sufficiently the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, not it is considered necessary to extend its explanation so that any subject matter expert understands its scope and advantages that derive from it, stating that, within its essentiality, may be implemented in other forms of embodiment that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and which will also achieve the protection that collects as long as it does not alter, change or modify its principle fundamental.
