Moreover, as a toilet for pets using an endless belt, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-63447 (refer to Patent Document 3) discloses a feces container in which feces formed on a belt by rotating a conveyor belt are provided at the front end in the traveling direction. Carry and clean. Further, the feces stuck to the belt is removed by applying a feces removing spatula to the rotating conveyor belt for cleaning. A toilet seat is placed between the two trolleys to absorb urine. The paper sheet in the feces container is laid down to the lower part of the conveyor belt and rubbed with the belt to wipe off the excrement adhering to the belt surface. Regarding the safety of pets generated as a risk associated with electric cleaning, the safety of pets was ensured by using a low-speed motor, installing an automatic stop function using a B-contact switch, and installing an automatic door for the feces container. There is also known an apparatus in which a remote control switch, an original time switch, or the like is used between the product of the present invention and a power source, and operation is controlled by the operation.

(C) is principal part sectional drawing of the state which screwed both parts.

Embodiments of a flush toilet for pets according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.
The pet flush toilet according to the present invention includes a housing 11 for housing each component. The housing 11 includes a manure discharge port 12 on a side wall 11a or a bottom plate 11b, and an open portion 13 provided on an upper surface. It has a structure. In addition, the portion of the bottom plate 11b is inclined so that drainage or the like flows toward the discharge port 12. 11c is a drainage groove formed so as to communicate with the discharge port 12 at the end of the inclined surface. In the figure, reference numeral 14 denotes a leg attached to the lower surface of the housing 11.

Next, the manure conveying means 21 housed in the housing 11 will be described.
The manure conveying means 21 includes a plurality of rod-like support bodies 23 that are horizontally extended at positions corresponding to the openings 13 in the upper portion of the housing 11 and a pet support plate 22 mounted thereon. ing.
The manure conveying means 21 is provided with a manure conveying belt 24 arranged to run on the support plate 22. The manure conveying belt 24 is endless, and is rotated by being supported by rollers 25a to 25d disposed on both sides of the support plate 22 and the lower portions of the front end side and the rear end side of the housing 11, respectively. In particular, the roller 25a on the front end side of the housing 11 is a driving roller that uses a motor (not shown) built in the controller 15 separately disposed on the side surface of the housing 11 as a driving source, and the other rollers 25b to 25d are driven rollers. It is.

Further, 26 is a draining roller for dehydrating under contact with the manure conveying belt 24 below the support plate 22, and 27 is disposed at an appropriate position of the manure conveying belt 24 to push and pull the belt, thereby tensioning the belt. It is a tension means for adjusting.

In the housing 11, shower means 28 is provided at the position where the manure descends at the end of the support plate 22, and the pet manure added on the manure transport belt 24 is lowered by the manure transport belt 24. In position, it is washed away by the shower means 28. In the figure, 32 is a sensor for detecting the presence or absence of manure and confirming whether or not the pet has added, and 33 is for preventing small pets from entering the gap between the manure transport belt 24 and the housing 11. A plurality of intrusion prevention bodies projecting from the housing 11 at predetermined intervals. Thereafter, the manure discharged into the drainage groove 11c is discharged to the septic tank or sewage through the discharge port 12, so that the bad smell of the pet manure is not dissipated in the house or the like.
In the figure, 29 is a sterilizing means that can disinfect the manure conveying belt 24 below the support plate 22, and 30 is a drying means that can be dried.

The pet support plate 22 disposed horizontally in the upper part of the housing 11 is provided with an inclined approach portion 31 so that the pet can easily get on the support plate 22. The approach portion 31 is configured such that the housing 11 is inclined toward the front of the opening portion 13 and the upper surface thereof is provided with a surface made of a soft material including silicon rubber.
Of course, the manure conveying belt 24 which can be rotated endlessly also has a surface 24a made of a soft material including silicon rubber having a fine uneven surface formed on the surface.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show specific examples of the excreta transport belt 24 made of silicon rubber.
As shown in the examples of FIGS. 5A and 5B, the manure conveying belt 24 is formed so that fine irregularities 24b are densely packed on the surface. In the figure, three rows of irregularities are repeatedly arranged in the length direction of the manure conveying belt 24, and vertical grooves 24c are interposed between the three rows of irregularities 24b.
Therefore, when the pet manure is discharged onto the manure transport belt 24, it is washed off by the shower means 28 at the lowered position of the manure transport belt 24 while being held on the unevenness 24b, and from the manure transport belt 24. In addition to being washed away without difficulty, the presence of the longitudinal groove 24c makes it possible to more reliably discharge the manure from the manure conveying belt 24.

The case where the manure conveying belt 24 is assembled to a predetermined length in FIG. 6 will be described.
In other words, in this example, the manure transport belt 24 composed of a plurality of parts is prepared by preparing parts of the plurality of manure transport belts 24 as shown in FIG. 6 (a), and having different heights as shown in FIG. 6 (b). The connecting piece 24d is assembled and the connecting piece 24d is screwed as shown in FIG. 6C.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, a pet flush toilet is provided that can be reliably used by pets, is easy to clean with disassembled water, and is not only improved in hygiene but also eliminates the odor of pet manure. I was able to do that.
In particular, since the washed manure can be poured into a septic tank or sewage, the contribution in terms of hygiene is very large.

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it becomes a pet flush toilet that pets such as cats and dogs use reliably, but it can also be applied as a flush toilet used by pets and animals other than cats and dogs. Not too long.
