Abstract

PURPOSE:To perform the deodorization and sterilization of an animal container to a state suitable for the breeding of a pet animal in a room, by detecting the state of the animal such as dog or cat entering into the container, getting out of the container or resting in the container with a sensor and spraying a mist agent for deodorization, sterilization, etc., under the control with a controller based on the detected signal. CONSTITUTION:The subject animal container 1 has the following construction. The animal container 1 such as a kennel or pet house is provided with a releasing part 2 (misting and spraying part 5) to release a liquid agent for deodorization, sterilization, etc., in the form of mist into the container and with a controller 3 to control the releasing state of the releasing part 2 according to the time and detection signal. Furthermore, the container has a detection part 4 to detect the approach of an animal and transmit the detection signal. One or plurality of the above parts are combined to effect the control management of the container. In the figure, 6 is a container for the liquid agent and 7 is a feeding port for the liquid agent.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an animal housing such as a dog kennel or a pet house. When pets such as dogs and cats are kept indoors or in the garden, bad odors caused by excrement, urine, and animal odors become a problem.

Disinfection is also necessary to prevent epidemics that infect humans and animals. Spraying deodorants and disinfectants did not have sufficient effect. This is because breeders have to pay attention to spraying all the time, which takes time and effort, so they tend to neglect it. Furthermore, when kept indoors, it is not possible to spray when the breeder is away, and there is often a bad odor when the breeder returns home. When you have unexpected guests, the bad smell can be a problem. Also, deodorants often have a strong scent added to them, which helps to mask bad odors. In this case, the strong scent hits your nose. Up until now, there has not been sufficient research into fundamental solutions to animal odors. In particular, the concept of fundamentally eliminating bad odors and improving the indoor air environment, taking into account the breeding conditions of animals, had not been established. From the perspective of animal husbandry, the biggest source of odor is animal housing such as dog kennels and pet houses. Conventionally, no animal accommodation facilities such as dog kennels or pet houses have been designed to prevent bad odors.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention aims to provide an animal housing body that deodorizes and disinfects in a way that is suitable for the conditions in which animals are kept, particularly indoor conditions in which pets are kept indoors. Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

Deodorize the inside of the animal accommodation facility 1 such as a dog kennel or pet house.
A discharge part 2 is provided which releases a liquid agent for disinfection, etc., in the form of mist into the air. A control section 3 is provided to control the discharge state of the discharge section 2 based on time, sensing signals, and the like. A sensing section 4 is provided which senses the approach of an animal and generates a sensing signal. One or more of the above-mentioned parts are combined to perform control and management. The discharge part 2 is provided at an appropriate location such as inside the animal container 1 or at the entrance, but it may be located at a location where the sprayed liquid agent can sufficiently fall on the animal or animal excrement. The discharge part 2 is connected to an atomization delivery part 5 that atomizes and delivers the liquid agent.

The atomization sending unit 5 is composed of an atomizing structure, a particulate generation structure using a vibrating body, and a blowing structure such as a fan.

The discharge section 2 may be configured in any manner as long as it can easily discharge the atomized liquid agent into the air. The control section 3 is constituted by an electronic circuit such as a microcomputer. It may also be a timer that manages and controls time.

The sensing unit 4 may be any type of sensor such as a proximity sensor, light, temperature, infrared rays, etc., as long as it can sense the approach of an animal. The program for the control state may be changed depending on the animal's habits. For example, in the case of a cat, the device is installed in a excrement box so as to sense when a cat enters the box, and after the excretion period ends, the presence of a cat is sensed, and when the cat's presence disappears, a signal is issued and controlled.

With the above configuration, when using this, the sensing unit 4 detects when an animal such as a dog or cat enters the animal housing 1, when it exists inside, when it exits, etc., depending on the purpose. The sensing signal, time, temperature, humidity, etc. are obtained by a timer or sensor and controlled by the control unit 3, and the atomized liquid generated by the atomization delivery unit 5 is released into the air from the release unit 2. Since the discharge part 2 is installed in the animal housing 1 such as a dog house or a pet house, and is controlled and managed unmanned, it is possible to purify the air environment by deodorizing, disinfecting, etc. adapted to the animal's behavioral habits. .

A liquid container 6 is installed in the ceiling of the dog kennel for easy replenishment of liquid medicine.
It is also possible to have a supply lower on the roof. Due to the increasing complexity of society, an increasing number of people are psychologically seeking to keep pets, but this conflicts with the housing situation and has become a problem in apartment buildings and apartments. The present invention is also effective in solving these problems.
