Description

  The present invention relates to a pet toilet that absorbs and processes urine excreted by a pet into a urine absorbing sheet, and in particular, when a mesh member placed on the urine absorbing sheet is contaminated with pet manure or the like, washing is performed. The present invention relates to a pet toilet that can be easily made.

  When pets such as dogs and cats are kept indoors, pet toilets are used for processing urine and the like excreted by pets. Pet toilets are mainly intended to absorb urine etc. excreted by pets and to prevent pets' feet from getting dirty with excrement, and various methods have been proposed.

  As a typical method, a urine absorbing sheet is laid on a toilet body formed in a substantially rectangular tray shape using an impermeable material, and a mesh sheet (mesh member) having a grid mesh is placed thereon. And the system which pinches | interposes and fixes the periphery of both the sheet | seats between toilet bodies with the pressing member and the frame is disclosed (for example, refer patent document 1, 2). In this case, the mesh member having a lattice mesh prevents the urine absorbing sheet from being displaced and lifted, and allows the urine absorbing sheet to absorb the urine. This prevents the pet's feet from being soiled and prevents the urine absorbent sheet from being scratched by the pet.

  However, in the case of this method, the mesh of the mesh member is formed in a lattice shape, so when the pet makes feces on the mesh member, the feces enter and adhere to the gaps of the lattice mesh. The adhering feces must be cleaned and removed, but since they have entered the narrow lattice network, they are not easy to clean and remove.

Hereinafter, embodiments of a pet toilet according to the present invention will be described according to modes.
(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is an external perspective view of a pet toilet 1 according to the first embodiment, and FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view thereof. The pet toilet 1 is configured by stacking a toilet body 2, a urine absorbing sheet 3, a mesh member 4, and a presser frame 5 in order from the lower side. Of these, the mesh member 4 is configured by stacking the upper member 6 and the lower member 7 in a separable manner. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 1 when these five components are stacked and used as a pet toilet.

  The toilet body 2 is formed in a rectangular tray shape having an upright portion at the periphery, and is manufactured using an impermeable material. A urine absorption sheet 3 for absorbing urine excreted by pets such as dogs and cats is placed on the inner bottom surface of the toilet body 2. The size of the urine absorbing sheet 3 is approximately equal to the size of the inner bottom surface of the toilet body 2.

  A net-like member 4 is placed on the urine absorbing sheet 3 placed on the inner bottom surface of the toilet body 2. The pet toilet 1 of the present embodiment is characterized by the configuration of the mesh member 4. The mesh member 4 placed on the urine absorbing sheet 3 prevents the urine absorbing sheet 3 from being scratched by the pet, and absorbs urine or the like excreted by the pet through the gap portion of the mesh member 4 below. The purpose is to prevent the pet's feet from being stained by being absorbed by the sheet 3.

  In a conventional pet toilet, a single mesh member (a mesh sheet) formed in a lattice shape has been adopted as the mesh member. On the other hand, the net-like member 4 of the pet toilet 1 of the present embodiment employs a configuration in which the upper member 6 and the lower member 7 are detachably stacked to form a lattice shape. 4 is a partially enlarged view of the upper member 6 of the mesh member 4, and FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged view of the lower member 7. FIG. 6 is a partially enlarged view of the mesh member 4 in which the upper member 6 is stacked on the lower member 7 to form a lattice shape.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the upper member 6 includes a plurality of straight ribs 11 having a half-elliptical cross section between the upper frame bodies 10a, 10b made of two crossbars provided on both sides, with the half-plane facing upward. It is configured to be stretched in the form of an equally spaced insulator. As shown in FIG. 5, the other lower member 7 also has a plurality of linear ribs 14 stretched between the lower frame bodies 13 a and 13 b made of two crosspieces provided on both sides in an equally spaced manner. It is configured. The straight rib 14 has a rectangular shape in cross section, and is stretched over the lower frame 7 in a direction perpendicular to the straight rib 11 of the upper member 6 when the upper member 6 is overlaid as shown in FIG. A recess 15 having a shape equal to the cross-sectional shape of the linear rib 11 of the upper member 6 is formed at a portion that intersects with the linear rib 11 of the upper member 6 in an overlapped state.

  When the upper member 6 is overlapped on the lower member 7 with such a configuration, the linear rib 11 of the upper member 6 fits into the recess 15 of the linear rib 14 of the lower member 7, and as shown in FIG. A lattice-like net-like member 4 is formed in which the upper surface sides of the straight ribs 11 and 14 of the member 6 and the lower member 7 are located on the same plane. The lattice-like mesh member 4 configured to be stacked is placed on the urine absorbing sheet 3.

  A presser frame 5 is placed on the net member 4. The presser frame 5 presses the peripheral edge of the mesh member 4 against the toilet body 2 side, and prevents the mesh member 4 and the urine absorbing sheet 3 from being displaced. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 1 in a state where the five components shown in FIG. 2 are stacked. A hook-type stopper 20 manufactured using an elastic member is rotatably attached to both side surfaces of the toilet body 2 in the longitudinal direction. While the five components are stacked, the hook-type stopper 20 is rotated to the presser frame 5 side, and the presser frame 5 is pressed to the toilet body 2 side at its tip as shown in FIG. A fitting structure that fits inside the toilet body 2 is formed on the lower surface side of the presser frame 5 so that the presser frame 5 is prevented from being displaced with respect to the toilet body 2 by being pressed by the hook type stopper 20. ing.

  In the pet toilet 1 according to the present embodiment, the mesh member 4 placed on the urine absorbing sheet 3 is configured to overlap the upper member 6 on the lower member 7 in a separable manner. Therefore, when the mesh member 4 becomes dirty, the upper member 6 and the lower member 7 can be separated and cleaned separately. Since the upper member 6 and the lower member 7 are formed in an insulator shape as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the mesh member 4 is compared with a conventional mesh sheet (mesh member) formed in a single lattice pattern. It has the advantage that the cleaning work of pet feces and the like adhering to the water becomes easy.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 8 is an external perspective view of a pet toilet 1a according to the second embodiment, FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view thereof, and FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB of FIG. The pet toilet 1a is configured by stacking a toilet body 2, a urine absorbing sheet 3, and a mesh member 4 in order from the lower side, and the press frame 5 from the pet toilet 1 according to the first embodiment shown in FIG. The configuration is omitted.

  As in the case of the pet toilet 1 according to the first embodiment, the net-like member 4 has a configuration in which the upper member 6 and the lower member 7 are detachably stacked to form a lattice shape. The structures of the upper member 6 and the lower member 7 are the same as those of the pet toilet 1 according to the first embodiment shown in FIGS. In a state where the upper member 6 is stacked on the lower member 7, the linear rib 11 of the upper member 6 is fitted into the recess 15 of the linear rib 14 of the lower member 7, and as shown in FIG. A lattice-like net-like member 4 is formed in which the upper surface side of each linear rib 11, 14 of the side member 7 is located on the same plane. The net-like member 4 having a stacked lattice shape is placed on the urine absorbing sheet 3.

  In the pet toilet 1a of the present embodiment, the net-like member 4 is merely placed on the urine absorbing sheet 3, but the straight rib 11 of the upper member 6 fits into the recess 15 of the straight rib 14 of the lower member 7. Therefore, if the area is large, the upper member 6 and the lower member 7 will not be displaced. If there is a concern about displacement, a mechanism for fastening and fixing the upper member 6 and the lower member 7 may be added to the frame portion of the member. Since the mesh member 4 is configured to detachably overlap the upper member 6 on the lower member 7 as in the case of the first embodiment, the upper member 6 and the lower member when the mesh member 4 becomes dirty. 7 can be separated and washed separately. Since the upper member 6 and the lower member 7 are formed in an insulator shape as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the mesh member 4 is compared with a conventional mesh sheet (mesh member) formed in a single lattice pattern. It has the advantage that the cleaning work of pet feces and the like adhering to the water becomes easy.

(Other embodiments)
In the first and second embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the recess 15 provided in the linear rib 14 of the lower member 7 of the mesh member 4 has a half-elliptical shape. And the cross section of the straight rib 11 of the upper member 6 fitted to it was made into the cross-sectional shape equal to the half ellipse shape. The cross-sectional shape of the recess 15 and the corresponding linear rib 11 may be different from the half-elliptical ellipse. FIG. 11 shows an example of the shape of the recess 15 provided in the linear rib 14 of the lower member 7. The cross-section of the straight rib 11 of the upper member 6 has a shape equal to the recess 15.
