본 발명은 애완동물 배설물 처리장치에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 애묘, 애견 등의 배설물을 자동으로 수집하여 밀봉 처리함으로써, 배설물으로 인한 악취 발생을 방지함과 아울러 위생적인 환경을 제공하도록 하는 애완동물 배설물 처리장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to an apparatus for treating pet excrement, and more particularly, by automatically collecting and sealing excrement of pet cats and dogs, thereby preventing odor from excretion and providing a sanitary environment for pets. It relates to a waste disposal system.
일반적으로, 애묘, 애견 등의 애완동물을 키우는 가정이 크게 증가하고 있는데, 애완동물을 기르는 과정에서 편리함 제공과 함께 위생적인 환경을 위한 각종 장치들이 개발 및 출시되고 있다. In general, there is a large increase in the number of households raising pets, such as pets, dogs, and various devices for a hygienic environment as well as convenience in the process of raising pets are being developed and released.
한편, 애완동물을 기르는 과정에서 가장 불편을 야기하는 일로는 배설물 처리가 있다. 가정에서 키우는 애견의 경우, 대개 일정한 장소에서 배설을 할 수 있도록 하는데, 이때 수분의 흡수와 함께 1회성으로 교체 가능한 배변시트를 보편적으로 사용하고 있다. On the other hand, the most inconvenient thing to do in the process of raising pets is waste disposal. In the case of a dog raised at home, it is usually allowed to defecate at a certain place, and at this time, a toilet sheet that can be replaced with a one-time replacement with water absorption is commonly used.
그러나, 배변시트에 배설물이 방치할 경우, 위생적으로 불결할 뿐만 아니라, 애견이 이를 밟을 경우, 실내를 오염시키게 되므로, 배설물의 처리 및 배변시트의 교체가 적시에 수행될 필요가 있다.However, if the excrement is left on the toilet sheet, it is not only hygienically unclean, but when the dog steps on it, it contaminates the room, so it is necessary to process the excrement and replace the toilet sheet in a timely manner.

본체(110)에서 애완동물의 배설물(2)을 감지하도록 설치되는 감지부(160)가 부가적으로 마련될 수 있다. 감지부(160)에 의해 배설물(2)을 감지시, 애완동물이 본체(110)로부터 떠난 것으로 판단되면, 배출부(120) 및 밀봉커팅부(140)의 구동에 의해 애완동물의 배설물(2)을 밀봉 처리하는 동작을 수행하도록 할 수 있다. 이때, 감지부(160)는 본체(110)의 하중을 감지하도록 설치되고, 본체(110)의 하중을 측정하여 감지신호로서 출력하는 로드셀로 이루어질 수 있다. 로드셀은 예컨대 베이스(122c) 저면에 설치될 수 있다.A detection unit 160 installed to detect the excrement 2 of the pet in the body 110 may be additionally provided. When the excrement (2) is detected by the sensing unit (160), if it is determined that the pet has left the body (110), the excretion unit (2) of the pet is driven by the discharge unit (120) and the sealing cutting unit (140). ) can be made to perform the sealing operation. In this case, the sensing unit 160 may be installed to sense the load of the main body 110 , and may be composed of a load cell that measures the load of the main body 110 and outputs it as a sensing signal. The load cell may be installed, for example, on the lower surface of the base 122c.
이와 같은 구성을 가지는 본 발명의 제 1 실시례에 따른 애완동물 배설물 처리장치(100)에 따르면, 감지부(160)인 로드셀이 본체(110) 상에 애묘가 위치함으로써, 하중이 고양이 체중만큼 증가하는 것으로 측정되면, 애묘가 현재 배변인 상태로 판단되고, 애묘가 본체(110)로부터 떠나면, 로드셀에 의한 하중 측정값이 애묘와 배설물이 존재하지 않는 평소의 하중 측정값에 도달해야 하는데, 이때, 애묘가 본체(110)로부터 떠남으로써 애묘의 하중만큼 감소되었음에도, 평소의 하중보다 배설물의 하중만큼 큰 하중 측정값을 로드셀이 측정시, 본체(110)에 배설물(2)이 잔존하는 것으로 판단하여, 배출모터(123d)의 구동에 의해, 도 3에서와 같이, 본체(110)가 기울어지도록 회전시킴으로써, 애묘용 모래 속에 위치하는 배설물(2)이 다공판(111)을 따라 배출구(121) 측으로 이동하여 하방 배출되도록 한다. 그리고, 일정 시간, 예컨대 1~10초 이내 범위 내에서 정해진 시간이 경과후, 배출모터(123d)의 동작에 의해 본체(110)가 수평되게 복귀하도록 한다. According to the pet excrement treatment apparatus 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention having such a configuration, the load cell, which is the sensing unit 160, is positioned on the main body 110, so that the load increases by the weight of the cat. When it is measured to do, it is determined that the cat is currently defecating, and when the cat leaves from the main body 110, the load measurement value by the load cell must reach the usual load measurement value in which the cat and excrement do not exist, at this time, Even though the load of the cat is reduced by leaving the body 110, when the load cell measures the load measured by the load larger than the usual load, the excrement 2 is determined to remain in the body 110, By driving the discharge motor 123d, as in FIG. 3, by rotating the main body 110 to be inclined, the excrement 2 located in the sand for a cat is moved along the perforated plate 111 to the discharge port 121 side. so that it is discharged downward. Then, after a predetermined period of time, for example, within a range of 1 to 10 seconds has elapsed, the main body 110 is horizontally returned by the operation of the discharge motor 123d.
한편, 배출구(121)를 통해 하방으로 배출되는 배설물(2)은 봉지공급부(130)로부터 하방에 위치함과 아울러, 끝단이 직전 밀봉 처리 과정에서 밀봉되어 잔존하는 밀봉부(1a)를 형성하는 배설물봉지(1) 내에 수집되도록 하는데, 이때, 배설물봉지(1)는 배설물(2)의 자중에 의해 하방으로 인출되면서 밀봉커팅부(140)를 통과하게 된다. 이때의 배설물봉지(1)는 배설물(2)의 자중에 의해 하방으로 인출시, 제한된 범위 만큼만 인출되도록 봉지공급부(130)의 높이 제한이나, 별도의 배설물봉지(1)용 전동식 클램프 등을 사용할 수도 있다.On the other hand, the excrement 2 discharged downward through the outlet 121 is located below from the bag supply unit 130, and the end of the excrement forming the remaining sealing unit 1a is sealed in the previous sealing process. To be collected in the bag (1), at this time, the excrement bag (1) passes through the sealing cutting unit 140 while being drawn downward by the weight of the excrement (2). At this time, when the excrement bag 1 is withdrawn by its own weight, the height of the bag supply unit 130 is limited so that only a limited range is drawn out, or a separate electric clamp for the excrement bag 1 can be used. have.
