Description

The present invention mainly relates to toilets for pets such as dogs and cats kept indoors.

In many cases, toilets for dogs and cats kept indoors have sand or moisture absorbent sheets on a tray. By the way, when such a toilet is placed indoors, the smell of manure fills the room and often feels uncomfortable. Some have a cover with a door on the tray, but it was not possible to prevent odors from leaking through the gaps in the door.
On the other hand, in the following patent document, it is shown that odors are prevented from leaking by providing packing in a gap between doors provided in a cover.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-116396

However, when the packing is provided in the gap between the doors to be opened and closed, the packing is sealed by the weight of the door or the closing force of the door, and it is often impossible to seal the packing sufficiently.
This invention makes it a subject to make it possible to close a door firmly in the box-shaped pet toilet which goes in and out through a door in view of such a problem.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the following configuration.
The device according to claim 1 is a main body composed of a substantially hermetically sealed box, and the first opening fixed at least on the inside by a hinge on an upper portion of the first opening provided in the main body. So that it overlaps the gap or contact edge between the first opening and the entrance door, and the entrance door made of a plate provided with magnets or magnetic bodies on the outer periphery of the outer surface. It consists of a plate-like body provided along the inner periphery of the first opening outside the main body, and a magnet or magnetic body that is attracted to the magnet or magnetic body provided on the entrance door is provided in a portion that contacts the entrance door. A plate body that fits into the inlet opening inner flange portion and the second opening that is fixed to be opened at least outwardly by a hinge on the upper portion of the second opening provided in the main body, on the outer periphery of the inner surface From a plate with a magnet or magnetic body An exit door, and a plate-like body provided along the inner periphery of the second opening inside the main body so as to overlap a gap or a contact edge between the second opening and the exit door. It is a pet toilet having a magnet provided on the exit door or a magnet or magnetic body adsorbed on the magnetic body, and an outlet-side inner flange portion provided on the contacting portion.
The invention described in claim 2 is the pet toilet, wherein the shape of the first opening and the shape of the second opening and / or the shape of the entrance door and the shape of the exit door are different from each other. .

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the entrance door that opens to the inside of the main body is sealed by magnetically adsorbing to the inlet side inner flange portion, and the outlet door that opens to the outside of the main body is adsorbed to the outlet side inner flange portion by magnetic force. Therefore, the door portion can be sealed more firmly than when the door is sealed only by the weight of the door or the closing force of the door. In addition, by separating the inlet and the outlet, the movement path of the pet can be designed so that the pet does not pass the manure portion after the manure is discharged.
According to the second aspect of the present invention, by changing the shape of the entrance and the exit, even the dog and the cat with weak color vision can easily distinguish the entrance and the exit.

It is a perspective view of the toilet for pets concerning an embodiment. It is a disassembled perspective view of the toilet for pets concerning an embodiment. It is an enlarged vertical sectional view of the entrance portion of the pet toilet according to the embodiment.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a pet toilet X according to this embodiment, and FIG. 2 shows an exploded perspective view of the pet toilet X. FIG. 2 shows a state in which an outlet door 42 described later is opened widely. The pet toilet X includes a synthetic resin tray 10 and a synthetic resin cover 20 that covers the top of the tray 10. When the cover 20 is placed on the tray 10, a closed box-shaped main body is formed. The cover 20 is provided with an inlet 30 and an outlet 40.

  The inlet 30 includes a first opening 31, an inlet door 32, and an inlet-side inner flange portion 33. FIG. 3A shows an enlarged vertical cross-sectional view in a state where the entrance door 32 in the entrance 30 portion is closed, and FIG. 3B shows an enlarged longitudinal cross-sectional view in a state in which the entrance door 32 in the entrance 30 portion is opened. The first opening 31 is a rectangular hole provided on the side surface of the cover 20. The entrance door 32 is a rectangular plate that fits into the first opening 31 and is formed as a part of the cover 20 so that the upper edge is integrated with the upper edge of the first opening 31. The upper edge of the entrance door 32 and the upper edge of the first opening 31 are formed thin so as to constitute a resin hinge. This resin hinge is formed so that the entrance door 32 opens largely inside the cover 20. A step is formed on the outer periphery of the outer surface of the entrance door 32, and a magnet 32a made of a square-shaped plate that fits in the step is fitted and fixed. The magnet 32a is a void magnet formed by mixing magnet powder in the same synthetic resin as the cover 20, and is fixed to the entrance door 32 by adhesion or heat fusion. The outer surface of the magnet 32 a is set to a thickness that forms the same surface as the outer surface of the entrance door 32. The inlet-side inner flange portion 32 is a square-shaped plate that closes the gap between the first opening 31 and the inlet door 32, and is formed by mixing magnet powder with the same synthetic resin as the cover 20. Consists of The magnets constituting the inlet-side inner flange portion 33 have magnetism such that the inner surface attracts each other with the outer surface of the magnet 32 a fixed to the inlet door 32. The inlet side inner flange portion 32 is fixed to the outer periphery of the first opening 31 of the cover 20 by adhesion or heat fusion. When the magnet 32a of the entrance door 32 is attracted to the entrance side flange portion 33, the outer edge of the entrance door 32 is closed by the entrance side flange portion 32a, so that the entrance is almost sealed.

  The outlet 40 includes a second opening 41, an outlet door 42, and an outlet side inner flange portion 43. Since the structure of the outlet 40 is the same as that of the inlet 30 except that the door opening direction and the door opening shape are different, the enlarged vertical sectional view of the outlet 40 portion is omitted. The second opening 41 is a circular hole in which the upper edge provided on the side surface of the cover 20 is cut straight. The exit door 42 is a circular plate whose upper edge is sized so as to fit into the second opening 41, and the upper edge of the outlet door 42 is integrated with the upper edge of the second opening 41. Molded as part of The upper edge of the exit door 42 and the upper edge of the second opening 41 are formed to be thin so as to constitute a resin hinge. The resin hinge is formed so that the outlet door 42 opens widely to the outside of the cover 20. A step is formed on the outer periphery of the inner side surface of the exit door 42, and a magnet 42a made of a ring-shaped plate that fits in the step portion is fitted and fixed. The magnet 42a is a void magnet formed by mixing magnet powder in the same synthetic resin as the cover 20, and is fixed to the outlet door 42 by adhesion or heat fusion. The inner surface of the magnet 42 a is set to a thickness that forms the same surface as the inner surface of the outlet door 42. The outlet-side inner flange portion 42 is a ring-shaped plate that closes the gap between the second opening 41 and the outlet door 42, and is composed of a void magnet formed by mixing magnet powder with the same synthetic resin as the cover 20. Is done. The magnet constituting the outlet side inner flange portion 42 has magnetism such that the outer surface attracts each other with the inner surface of the magnet 42 a fixed to the outlet door 42. The outlet side inner flange portion 43 is fixed to the outer periphery inside the second opening 41 of the cover 20 by adhesion or heat fusion. When the magnet 42a of the outlet door 42 is attracted to the outlet side flange portion 43, the outer edge of the outlet door 42 is closed by the outlet side flange portion 42a, so that the outlet is almost sealed.

Next, the usage method and operation of the pet toilet X having the above-described configuration will be described. In addition, it is assumed that the entrance 30 and the exit 40 are attached to the pet in advance so as to be recognized from the difference in shape and position. In use, cat sand or toilet sheets are laid on the tray 10, and then the cover 20 is mounted on the tray 10. Desirably, a deodorizing and sterilizing substance such as titanium oxide or a device having a deodorizing function is placed in the tray 10 together. Furthermore, the back surface of the cover 20 can be coated with a paint mixed with a deodorizing and sterilizing substance such as titanium oxide.
In the tray 10, the entrance door 32 and the exit door 42 are normally completely closed, and the box-shaped main body of the pet toilet X is almost sealed. When the pet excretes excreta in this state, first, the pet pushes the entrance door 32 and enters the inside of the pet toilet X. When the pet completely enters the pet toilet X, the entrance door 32 closes by weight and is tightly sealed by the magnetic force. When the excretion on the tray 10 is completed, the pet pushes the exit door 42 and goes out of the pet toilet X. When the pet is completely removed from the pet toilet X, the entrance door 32 is closed by weight and is tightly sealed by the magnetic force. Therefore, since the smell of excrement is confined in the pet toilet X and hardly leaks to the outside, the smell does not matter even when the pet toilet X is placed indoors.

  In the above embodiment, the entrance door 32 and the entrance side inner flange portion 33 and the exit door 42 and the exit side inner flange 43 are provided with magnets that attract each other, but one side is a magnet and the other side is iron. The magnetic material may be used. In addition, although the inlet side inner flange portion 33 and the outlet side inner flange portion 43 are entirely formed of magnets, only the portions in contact with the inlet door 32 and the outlet door 42 may be formed of magnets or magnetic materials. Furthermore, although the positions of the inlet 30 and the outlet 40 are respectively provided on adjacent surfaces of the substantially rectangular parallelepiped cover 20, these positions can be changed as appropriate. And, changing the shape of the entrance 30 and the exit 40 makes it easier for the pet to recognize the difference between the entrance 30 and the exit 40, but making it easier to recognize by changing the brightness of the entrance door 32 and the exit door 42.
