Description

The present invention relates to a pet toilet that is kept hygienically and beautifully as a defecation place, and automatically collects and cleans the defecation of pets, particularly dogs, that are kept in the home, after defecation.

In conventional pet toilets, pet sheets, absorbent mats, towels, paper, etc. are laid in a box to temporarily absorb them, and the excrement is picked up each time, which is not hygienic and aesthetic. In addition, most of the absorbent material is disposable and generates a lot of waste, which is not economical.
JP 2001-346472 A

Such a pet toilet should be left as it is until the owner disposes it after defecation, and the pet walks on the pet sheet etc. after urination, or does not like the subsequent defecation and should be in another place. In particular, it is not hygienic and aesthetically pleasing when kept indoors.

The problem to be solved is that pet sheets, absorption mats, etc. absorb and hold urination, but if they stick to the foot after urination or if the stool remains as it is, the next time you come to defecate, dislike stool on it There are hygiene problems and aesthetic problems when attached to the feet.

The problem is that pet sheets and absorbent mats must be replaced according to the amount and frequency of urination of pets, which often takes time. It is not economical because most of the items that cannot be reused generate secondary waste.

Accordingly, the present invention is an economical pet toilet that is hygienic, aesthetic, secondary waste can be reduced, feces can be handled easily, and pets can be sanitized even if they cannot be managed throughout the day. It is intended to provide.

The present invention provides a sanitary and aesthetic place for a pet to defecate and defecate a defecation place on an impermeable belt (hereinafter referred to as an artificial turf belt) in order to reduce secondary waste. A place. When the defecation ends, the conveyor automatically moves to carry the defecation to each reservoir, cleans the artificial turf belt surface, and the clean artificial turf belt surface is used again as a defecation place, making it easy to defecate and hygienically It is a pet toilet with less aesthetic and secondary waste.

This belt is made of artificial turf, linear protrusions, irregularities, or integrally formed artificial turf-like objects formed on a water-impermeable sheet, and has water retention between turf eyes and linear protrusions. The belt is in the form of a belt conveyor, the upper surface is used as a defecation place, feces are difficult to adhere to the turf and linear projections, and urine does not enter the turf or the like and stay on the surface. It is a semi-rigid belt that is hard and dense enough not to fall down when a pet steps on it. The belt can move and carry feces and urine to a reservoir.

When the pet enters the stool, the timer switch with relay installed inside is activated by the pet stepping on the mat switch built under the artificial turf belt conveyor. It takes a waiting time until the defecation is finished, the power motor and the washing water pump are started, the artificial turf belt conveyor carries the feces and urine to the reservoir, and the washing water pumped up by the washing water pump is washed and injected. Spray from artificial turf belt from pipe, wash away, wash off deposits and water droplets with washing brush, clean artificial turf belt, easy to defecate again, good aesthetics, economy of defecation once a day Make it like that.

Defecation treatment is stored in the defecation reservoir provided in the lower part, and urine and washing water are stored in the drainage reservoir, so that it can be treated hygienically and less secondary waste is generated, saving processing time. I can do things. Depending on the place where the pet toilet is placed, the urine and washing water can always be discharged to the external drainage by connecting an external discharge pipe to the urine pipe of the drainage device to replace the drainage reservoir with the drainage receptacle. The wastewater at the time can be treated hygienically.

As described above, the pet toilet using the artificial turf belt has the following effects.

Due to the use of an artificial turf belt at the defecation area, the turf surface is uneven and semi-rigid when it is excreted, so the feces are supported by the tips of the linear protrusions, and therefore do not adhere to the turf. In addition, when urinating, water passes immediately during the thickness of the lawn, so it is difficult for urine to stick to the foot and it is hygienic.

In the case of pets raised in the home, humans should always handle them immediately after defecation, but if they cannot do it for a long time, or if they cannot be managed all day long, when they come to their next defecation, they will have their previous defecation If you step on or stick to your feet, you may defecate to other places, but by using an artificial turf belt conveyor at the place of defecation, each time you store feces and urine in each reservoir At the same time, the defecation area can be washed with water each time, so the defecation area is always clean and the next defecation is performed promptly.

By using an artificial turf belt conveyor at the defecation place, even if the daytime management is not possible, after defecation, feces and urine can be automatically stored in the reservoir, so there is no need to process each time. Since secondary materials such as pet sheets and absorbent mats are not used, waste is not generated and it is economical and convenient, hygienic and aesthetic.

Depending on where this pet toilet is installed, it can be connected to external drainage by replacing the drainage reservoir for storing urine and washing water with a drainage receptacle, so that urine and washing water can always be discharged, which is hygienic. It becomes more convenient.
