Description

The claimed technical solution relates to devices for the livelihoods of domestic animals, in particular, when creating the required sanitary conditions for keeping domestic animals.

The technical solution on the application No. 2003121302 dated 2005.01.10, A01K 1/01, RU, RINSING TOILET FOR PETS. The device, which is adapted to the washing toilet for using the cat, contains a platform for installation on the washing toilet, located in the central part of the platform, a stepped support board that provides a comfortable squat for the cat to be excreted, a hole made in the stepped support board for dropping excrement through it into flushing toilet. The platform is located below the water level in the flush toilet and above the drain of the toilet. The stepped board has dimensions that provide a comfortable squat cat on it, and is built into the specified toilet. The stepped baseboard is equipped with a water supply device and a water discharge device, so that the excrement is flushed into the toilet drain through the hole. The stepped baseboard is independent of the toilet. Around the front part, the left part and the right part of the stepped support board there is a vertical enclosing wall. At a fixed distance from the enclosing wall, there is a training ring attached with a leather belt and designed to teach the pet how to use the toilet. For the site, flushing water is provided in two levels, flushed simultaneously for flushing the toilet.

The disadvantage is the use of standard sanitary equipment by the animals, which is not recommended from a medical point of view, and the need for special training of the animal in using the device.

Known technical solution according to patent JP 200497089 A, 04/02/2004, A01K 23/00, Automatic animal toilet, which includes a rectangular base in the form of a container with sides and bottom, as well as a thief for draining, above which a grate is placed, in addition the device contains a tank with a locking mechanism with a valve located in it, while the container and the barrel are connected to each other, the device also contains a frame made in the form of a rectangular structure, and the frame is movably connected to the base via an axis with the possibility and Menenius inclination angle; a drain siphon is attached to the container, on the opposite side of the tank.

The disadvantage is the need for mechanical removal of residual excrement from the pallet.

The purpose of the development of the proposed technical solution is to create an automatic stand-alone device that meets sanitary standards for keeping pets and the anatomical features of pets.

The goal is achieved as follows.

An automatic pet toilet includes a rectangular base in the form of a container with sides and a bottom, as well as a drain funnel over which a grate is placed; in addition, the device contains a tank with a locking mechanism with a valve placed in it, and the tank and tank connected to each other, the device also includes a frame made in the form of a rectangular structure, and the frame is movably connected to the base via an axis with the possibility of changing the angle of inclination; a drain siphon is attached to the tank, on the opposite side of the tank, and the tank is made with inclined sides with rounded corners at the bottom and is fixed with the tank on the frame, in addition, the device contains a mechanism for monitoring the movement of the tank, located in the housing, at the bottom of which there is an element locking with a recess interacting with the pin, while the housing of the control mechanism is fixed on the base with the open part inward; additionally, a plate is movably fixed on the frame, in which a pin is fixed that interacts with the recess of the locking element, and the drain drive mechanism is made in the form of a system of levers fixed movably on the frame and on the base.

The frame and base are made of tubes.

The essence of the technical solution is as follows. On the basis of 9, made in the form of a rectangular structure, for example, of tubes, the frame 11 is fixed movably by means of the axis 10 with the possibility of changing the angle of inclination. Steps 13 are attached to the base 9 for getting the animal into the container. To the frame 11, made in the form of a rectangular design, for example, of tubes, a tank 1 and a tank 7 are connected to each other. A removable grill 6 is installed inside the tank 7. The tank 7 is made with inclined sides with rounded corners at the bottom for water circulation when flushing and funnel for draining. In the tank 1, an inlet for water 14 is made, a locking mechanism 2, a drain mechanism with a valve 3, a tank cover 12 are placed.

The drain drive mechanism 5 is made in the form of a system of levers mounted movably on the frame 11 and on the base 9.

A siphon 15 is attached to the tank 7 to drain into the sewer. Connect the siphon 15 below the level of the tank 7.

The control mechanism 8 for moving the container 7 is made in the housing 18, at the bottom of which there is a locking element 19 with a recess, around which the pin 17 moves when the angle of inclination of the container 7 changes. A protrusion 20 is made on the bottom wall of the housing 18 to adjust the position of the pin 17 in the recess. The control mechanism 8 of the movement of the tank 7 is fixed on the base 9, the open part of the housing 18 inside the structure.

The device operates as follows. Through the inlet for water 14 fill the tank 1. The tank 7 with the tank 1 is held in horizontal position by the mechanism for controlling the movement of the tank 8, while the pin of the mechanism 17 is located in the center of the recess of the locking element 19.

When climbing the animal along the steps 13 onto the grate 6, the horizontal position of the frame 11 swinging on the axis 11 changes, and the container 7 with the tank 1 rise under the influence of the weight of the animal, and the pin 17 is released from engagement with the recess of the locking element 19.

When the animal jumps out, the tank 7 with the tank 1 is lowered and the drain drive mechanism 5 is activated, while the flexible drive 4 of the drain mechanism 3 opens the valve of the drain mechanism. The valve opens and water from the tank 1 enters to flush the tank 7. Under the weight of the water, the tank 7 with the tank 1 take its initial position. Water from the tank 7 exits through a siphon 10 into the drain of the sewer. The control mechanism 8 of the movement of the tank 7 is returned to its original position in standby mode.

The device allows the animal to use the toilet on its own, as the excrement is removed into the sewer system without the direct involvement of a person. All structural elements: a container in the form of a bath, steps, a lattice are usual for animals to adopt a natural pose without prior training. The device is designed for an animal weighing at least 500 g and is not limited by the maximum weight.

The device is designed and can be manufactured industrially.
