Description

  The present invention relates to a toilet bowl for cats raised as pets, and more particularly to a toilet bowl for cats that can reduce the burden on the owner, such as cat waste processing and toilet cleaning.

  Cats bred as pets will excrete urine, feces, etc. into the cat's toilet in a room that coexists with humans. As the toilet for cats, a plastic container whose upper side is opened is often used in which so-called cat sand such as zeolite, river sand, bentonite and the like is spread. Such a toilet container is not hermetically sealed, and if the cat is left as it is after excreting urine and feces, the bad odor fills the room, causing problems in terms of hygiene. Therefore, every time the cat excretes urine and feces, the owner must clean up the cat's excrement, which is very complicated.

  Therefore, an animal toilet provided with a liquid-absorbing sheet for absorbing animal urine in a toilet container has been proposed (for example, JP-A-10-229768). In this animal toilet, a water-repellent granular material is put in a container whose bottom is a sheet having a liquid permeable structure, and a liquid-absorbing sheet supported by a support is placed on the bottom sheet under the bottom sheet of the container. It is provided in close contact, and urine passes through the water-repellent granular material, passes through the bottom of the container, and is absorbed by the liquid absorbent sheet. If an animal such as a cat urinates in this animal toilet, the liquid-absorbing sheet absorbs moisture, so there is an advantage that it is not necessary to process the urine in the container every time the cat urinates.

  However, since the liquid absorption sheet has a limited amount of water absorption, if the amount of urine in the cat increases and the amount of water absorption increases, the urine returns to the cat sand and the entire sand is soiled with urine. There is a fear. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically replace the liquid absorbent sheet. In addition, if the cat defecates, the liquid absorbent sheet cannot absorb solids, so the owner must clean up each time. , Extremely troublesome.

  In addition, a pet toilet has been proposed for reducing the burden of cleaning pet excrement (see, for example, JP-A-2004-57182). In this toilet, a plastic or metal pet toilet provided with an opening is placed on the body of a so-called Western toilet of a human flush toilet so that pet excrement falls into the western toilet. This pet toilet has the advantage that it can be washed with water after the pet has excreted urine and feces, and cleaning up is easy.

  However, in reality, every time a human uses the toilet, the pet toilet must be removed and the pet toilet must be attached again after use. This is very complicated. Moreover, it is difficult for the cat to excrete well to the position of the opening of the pet toilet so that the stool falls from the opening of the pet toilet to the human toilet. Furthermore, in a pet toilet that can only be placed on a human toilet, the cat wobbles and is extremely unstable, and the cat's original personality is very nervous, so the cat may not be excreted.

  Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and provides a toilet for cats that has an extremely simple and easy structure, is excellent in hygiene, and can reduce the burden on the owner.

  That is, the device of claim 1 is connected to a flush pipe (P1) on one side of the side wall portion of the toilet body (20) having a bottom portion (40) and a side wall portion (30), and flushes water to the bottom portion. A cat toilet (10) having a trap portion (45) connected to a drain pipe (P2) at the bottom portion on the other side with the spout port (35) for washing out filth at the bottom portion and discharging it together with water. And the bottom surface has a sufficiently large seat surface portion (41) on which a cat can sit, and the seat surface portion is an inclined surface (42) descending from the jet port side toward the trap portion. ), The toilet bowl for cats.

  The device according to claim 2 relates to the cat toilet according to claim 1, wherein an inclination angle (α) of the inclined surface (42) is 2 to 10 degrees with respect to a horizontal plane.

  The invention according to claim 3 relates to the cat toilet according to claim 1 or 2, wherein a rib portion (43) extending from the jet port side to the trap portion side is formed on the seat surface portion (41).

  The invention of claim 4 relates to a cat toilet according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the cat toilet body (20) is held on a mounting table (D) arranged on a floor surface. .

  The invention of claim 5 relates to a cat toilet according to claim 4, wherein the height (H) of the mounting table (D) is about 50 cm from the floor surface.

  The cat toilet according to claim 1 has a seat surface portion (41) having a sufficient width on which the cat can sit on the bottom portion, and the seat surface portion faces the trap portion from the spout side. Since it is formed by the inclined surface (42) descending, it has an extremely simple and easy structure, is excellent in hygiene, and can reduce the burden on the owner.

  In the invention of claim 2, in the cat toilet according to claim 1, since the inclination angle (α) of the inclined surface (42) is 2 to 10 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane, the cat is stable. It can be excreted in a posture, and the filth at the bottom can be washed out smoothly with flushing water.

  In the invention of claim 3, in the cat toilet according to claim 1 or 2, a rib portion (43) extending from the jet port side to the trap portion side is formed on the seat surface portion (41). So when excreting urine, the feet and hands of the cat are less likely to get dirty.

  According to the invention of claim 4, the cat toilet according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the cat toilet body (20) is held on a mounting table (D) arranged on a floor surface. Therefore, it is easy to install the toilet bowl body for cats, and it is safe because it does not easily fall into the toilet bowl.

  In the invention of claim 5, in the cat toilet according to claim 4, since the height (H) of the mounting table (D) is about 50 cm from the floor surface, the installation of the cat toilet body is not necessary. In addition to being very easy, it can be reliably prevented from accidentally falling into the toilet bowl.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view thereof, FIG. 3 is a sectional view thereof, FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of the present invention, FIG. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a state held on the mounting table.

  As defined in the invention of claim 1 and as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the cat toilet 10 is connected to the water pipe P <b> 1 on one side of the side wall of the toilet body 20 having a bottom 40 and a side wall 30. A cat toilet having a jet port 35 for jetting flush water to the bottom, and having a trap unit 45 connected to a drain pipe P2 at the bottom of the jet port and on the other side to wash off the filth at the bottom and discharge it together with the water 10 and has a seat surface portion 41 that is sufficiently wide to allow a cat to sit on the bottom portion, and the seat surface portion is formed by an inclined surface 42 that descends from the jet port side toward the trap portion. It is characterized by.

  The toilet bowl body 20 for cats is provided with the bottom part 40 and the side wall part 30, as shown in FIG.1 and FIG.2. The size and shape of the toilet main body 20 are not particularly limited, but the bottom 40 has a seat surface 41 that is sufficiently wide to allow a cat to sit on, and excretes in consideration of the size of the cat. It is necessary to make the size easy. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the shape of the toilet body 20 and the seat surface portion 41 is substantially rectangular, the size of the seat surface portion for cats having a weight of about 10 kg to sit on the bottom and excrete is long. The length of one side in the direction can be about 450 mm, and the length of the other side can be about 320 mm. In this case, the length of one side in the longitudinal direction is about 700 mm. The length of the other side is preferably about 500 mm. The material of the toilet body 20 is not particularly limited, and ceramics, plastic resins, and the like can be used, but it is desirable to use glass fiber reinforced plastic that is lightweight, has high mechanical strength, and has excellent corrosion resistance and moldability. .

  The seat surface portion 41 is formed by an inclined surface 42 that descends toward the trap portion 45 from the jet port 35 side. The seat surface portion 41 is defined as the invention of claim 2, and as shown in FIG. The inclination angle α is preferably 2 to 10 degrees with respect to the horizontal plane. If the slope of the inclined surface 42 is too large, the stability is poor, so that the cat cannot ride on the seating surface portion 41 and cannot be excreted. This is because the water ejected from the water may not be discharged into the trap portion 45 well.

  Further, the seat surface portion 41 is defined as the invention of claim 3 and, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a rib portion 43 extending from the jet port 35 side to the trap portion 45 side is preferably formed. . An uneven surface is formed by the rib part 43, and when the cat rides on the convex surface of the rib part 43 and excretes, the excreted urine flows into the concave groove, and the effect that the cat's hands and feet are difficult to get dirty can be expected. Furthermore, it is expected that the water and cat filth spouted from the spout 35 are smoothly discharged to the trap portion 45 along the formed rib portion 43. Therefore, the size of the rib portion 43 is preferably such that the cat can stably put a hand or foot on it. For example, a rib portion having a width of about 20 mm and a height of about 3 mm can be provided. . In addition, the rib part 43 may be shape | molded integrally with the toilet bowl main body 20, or you may make it attach the seat surface part 41 in which the rib part 43 was formed to the toilet bowl main body bottom part 40 later.

  In addition, the seat surface portion 41 can be used by laying a cat sand 60 as shown in FIG. The cat excrement can be discharged into the drain pipe P2 by the flushing water ejected from the spout 35 together with the cat sand 60, so that the indoor space is not filled with bad odors and is very hygienic. The burden of cleaning up can be reduced. As the cat sand laid on the seat surface portion, for example, a strip-shaped piece of paper in which toilet paper is shredded may be used instead of cat sand or a sheet that can be poured into a flush toilet. After discharging the cat sand together with the filth into the trap portion, the owner needs to lay the cat sand or the like on the seat surface portion 41. However, the cat sand laid on the seat surface portion 41 is not always necessary, and if the cat gets used to it, it can be excreted without laying anything on the seat surface portion. There is no need to lay cat sand 60 or the like on the surface 41, and the burden on the owner is further reduced.

  The toilet 10 for cats has a spout 35 that is connected to the water pipe P1 on one side of the side wall 30 of the toilet main body 20 and ejects flush water to the bottom 40, and the bottom 40 on the other side. Has a trap portion 45 connected to the drain pipe P2 for washing out filth at the bottom and discharging it together with water. Here, the trap part is intended to prevent the backflow of odor from the drain pipe, and it is intended to store water by bending a part of the pipe into a U-shape or S-shape. In the embodiment, the P-type trap unit 45 is used. However, the trap unit is not limited to the P-type, and a U-type or S-type trap unit may be used.

  After the cat excretes urine, feces, and the like on the seat surface portion 41, it is discharged together with water ejected from the spout 35 to the trap portion 45 connected to the drain pipe P2. Washing water is ejected vigorously from the spout 35, and the seat surface portion 41 is formed with an inclined surface 42 that descends from the spout 35 toward the trap portion 45, so that dirt is smoothly discharged to the trap portion 45. can do. Further, a water passage may be provided in the vicinity of the peripheral edge portion 25 above the toilet body 20 so that flush water flows out from the upper portion of the toilet body 20 through the side wall portion 30. In this way, not only the bottom 40 of the toilet body 20 but also the side wall 30 can be washed away. In addition, as the flowing water pipe P1, a known cylindrical pipe made of vinyl chloride may be used, or a commercially available packing may be directly used instead of the cylindrical pipe.

  As defined in claim 4 and as shown in FIG. 6, the cat toilet 10 is held by a mounting table D having a main body 20 disposed on a floor surface F, and as defined in claim 5. In addition, it is desirable that the height H of the mounting table D is about 50 cm from the floor surface. Since the mounting table D is used for installing the cat toilet 10, the toilet body 20 can be easily installed without the need for a large-scale construction such as digging up the floor surface F, for example. Moreover, by installing on the mounting table D, a cat or a human is not accidentally dropped into the toilet body 20 and is very safe. If a ventilating fan is provided below the toilet body 20, etc., even if the owner forgets to flow the water by pulling the water supply lever 52, the odor will not be filled and it will be more comfortable. A cat toilet 10 can be used.

  After the cat excretes urine, feces, etc. on the seating surface 41, when the owner manually pulls the water supply lever 52, the water pipe stored in the main body 51 of the water supply tank 50 is connected to the water supply pipe P3. It passes through P1 and is jetted from the jet nozzle 35 through the flowing water receiving part 36. Since the owner can clean the cat excrement by simply pulling the water supply lever 52, it is very simple and hygienic. The cat toilet body 20 may be provided with a sensor for detecting temperature and weight so that water is automatically ejected from the spout 35 when the cat descends from the seating surface 41. However, if the owner manually pulls the water supply lever 52 to eject the flushed water, the owner can check the cat's excrement so that the health condition of the cat can be grasped, and the cat can accidentally fall on the seat surface 41. It is possible to prevent the flushing water from squirting frequently due to the mischief of the cat.
