DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pet toilet bed used to receive manure of pets kept indoors such as dogs and cats.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a zeolite-based adsorptive deodorant or a bentonite-based adsorptive deodorant has been used as a pet toilet bed of this type.

[0003]

The zeolite-based adsorptive deodorant has a problem of odor at the time of defecation due to the low water absorption capacity of manure, and the bentonite-based adsorptive deodorant forms solids in manure. And absorbs and blocks the odor,
For this purpose, a large amount of the adsorbent deodorant is required, which is uneconomical, and there is a problem of environmental pollution when the used adsorbent deodorant is discarded.

[0004]

The present invention relates to an organic acid-containing silica gel (1A) having a content of 3 to 10% by weight, a silver ion-containing silica gel (1B) having a content of 1 to 5% by weight, and a balance having a pore diameter of 20 to 200 mm.
There is provided a mixture pet service floor consisting (1) and (3) the shea Rikageru with reversible hygroscopic.

The silica gel used in the present invention generally has a pore size of about 20 to 200 ° and a particle size of about 0.02 to 10 mm, and the pore size desirably has a distribution as wide as possible within the above range. Silica gel containing an organic acid and silica gel containing silver ions are mixed with the above silica gel.
The organic acid-containing silica gel is, for example, oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid,
β-oxyacid, malic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, tannic acid and the like is preferably a silica gel mixed with a low volatile organic acid, and silver ion-containing silica gel is silver chloride,
An inorganic silver salt such as silver nitrate, silver acetate, silver propionate, a silica gel mixed with a compound capable of releasing silver ions such as an organic silver salt such as silver stearate, and the organic acid-containing silica gel is, for example, red, It is desirable that the silica gel be colored in two blue colors and that the silica gel containing silver ions be colored, for example, green. If the silica gel is colored in this way, the approximate blending ratio can be visually discriminated, and there is an advantage that coloring due to manure is inconspicuous. However, the coloring does not limit the present invention. In the above silica gel mixture , the organic acid-containing silica gel usually contains 3 to 10% by weight, and the silver ion-containing silica gel usually contains 1 to 5% by weight.

[0006]

The pore size of the stool bed of the present invention is 20 to 20.
The silica gel of 0 ° has reversibility of adsorbing moisture at high humidity and releasing moisture at low humidity. Therefore feces floor of the present invention absorbs moisture manure to adsorb and remove odors comprising rapidly odor components upon receiving the manure, the low-humidity removing odor
Releases only the water that has been removed . Therefore, the reversible silica gel used in the toilet bed of the present invention has a long time to reach adsorption saturation, and as a result, has a long life,
It can also be played back. The organic acid-containing silica gel contained in the stool bed is absorbed by the reversible silica gel.
Ammonia is one of odor components of hard to wear removed manure Ru is deodorized adsorbed neutralized. Further silver ion-containing silica gel malodor that is, suppress the bacteria are bred Bin'yuka
Prevents the generation of putrefaction odor, reversible silica gel and organic acid
Further extend the time for the containing silica gel to reach adsorption saturation . Further, silica gel is mainly composed of silicic acid, so that it is easily assimilated into soil, and there is no risk of environmental pollution even after disposal after use.

The results of the performance test of the silica gel used for the toilet floor of the present invention are shown below. The performance test was performed using silica gel having an average pore size of 60 ° and an average particle size of 2 to 5 mm. 1. Water absorption / desorption test Silica gel is immersed in water to make it saturated, and after draining, laying the silica gel to a predetermined thickness on an iron plate and measuring the weight change of the silica gel when left alternately in the sun and indoors to determine the water content The release state was observed. The result is shown in FIG. In the figure, graph 1 shows a case where silica gel is spread to a thickness of 7 mm, and graph 2 shows a case where silica gel is spread to a thickness of 17 mm.
Is a case where silica gel is spread to a thickness of 30 mm. As is clear from FIG. 1, under low humidity, silica gel rapidly releases water and the water absorbing ability is regenerated. 2. 0.1 ml each of silica gel, silica gel mixture, waste paper powder, bentonite, and wood flour were charged into a 1-liter flask.
A solution or gas containing each of the odor components is injected so as to have a blank concentration as shown in (1), and after 30 minutes, the concentration of the remaining odor in the flask is measured with a Kitagawa type detector tube to calculate an odor removal rate (%). The results are shown in Table 1.

[0008]

[Table 1] As is evident in Table 1, the silica gel mixture has better deodorizing ability than other samples regardless of the type of odor component.

[0009]

[Example 1] Silica gel as shown in FIG.mixture(1) in container (2)
Filled to form the stool bed (3). The silica gelmixture
(1) has a pore diameter range of 20 to 200 ° and a particle size range of 0.02 to
10mm, 6% by weight silica gel containing organic acid (1A)
3% by weight of silver ion-containing silica gel (1B).
Organic acid-containing silica gel (1A) is colored red and blue
The silver ion-containing silica gel (1B) is colored green.
I have. The container (2) is 50 × 50 cm in length and width and 25 cm in depth.
Dimensions and above silica gelmixture(1) is placed in the container (2).
2 kg can be inserted.

When the stool bed (3) was placed in a room where one adult cat was kept, the generation of odor was detected in the room only after about 25 to 30 days. As a comparison, when a toilet bed containing silica gel containing neither the organic acid-containing silica gel (1A) nor the silver ion-containing silica gel (1B) was used, the generation of odor was detected after 15 days. When a stool bed containing a bentonite-based adsorptive deodorant was used, the generation of odor was detected after 3 days. Therefore, the toilet bed (3) of the present invention requires only about half the amount of silica gel containing no organic acid-containing silica gel (1A) or silver ion-containing silica gel (1B). Only about 1/9 of the amount used.

[0011] Example 2 bed (5) of the gauge (4) As shown in FIG. 3 the aspect 25 × 25
cm, depth 2 cm, mixed with silica gel used in Example 1.
About 100 g of the compound (1) is evenly spread on the floor (5) to form a toilet bed. Occurrence of odor is sensed only after about 6 to 7 days when three birds are bred by the gauge (4), and odor is sensed only after about 4 to 5 days when two hamsters are bred. Was done. As a comparison, when a bentonite-type adsorbent deodorant was used, generation of odor was detected on the same day in both small birds and hamsters.

[0012]

Therefore, in the present invention, any kind of odor generated from pet manure can be adsorbed and removed over a long period of time and the amount of silica gel used can be reduced.
It can be Las, good also to hygienic to prevent bacteria breeding of flights floor
It is good and also has an insect repellent effect.
