Description

FECAL SEPARATION APPARATUS USING TILTING FUNCTION
The present invention relates to fecal separation apparatus using tilting function.
There are various types of companion animals, such as dogs, cats, and snakes, that are kept at home as companions for hobbies or daily life. Cats refer to mammals of the feline family, and cats are often bred as pets indoors, like pet dogs, in order to stabilize human psychology.
Such, it requires a lot of attention in order to raise a cat, as well as diseases such as skin diseases, ear mites, herpes, etc., and taming a cat according to the cat's lifestyle is one of them.
For example, as they are nocturnal, they mainly live at night rather than during the day, and only by familiarizing themselves with how to improve the bond with the owner of the cat as well as the cat owner, the cat as well as the cat owner do not suffer unnecessary stress.
You can live together indoors. In particular, cats can receive severe stress when the toilet they use is dirty or when they do not have a smooth bowel movement.
It is common to fill the cat with as much sand as possible to allow the cat to defecate. One of the biggest problems when living at home with these companion animals is excrement, and it is still up to humans to dispose of the excrement.
In general, each animal species has different toilet habits, but cats have a habit of covering their excrement with soil or sand, and if this habit is not met, the pet's stress increases, which causes various problems.
For this reason, a material in the form of granules or powder called cat litter is widely used in toilets or toilets for cats. The defecation treatment device according to the prior art is a structure that can separate the sand is stored inside the chamber where the internal space is formed, a separation net rotated inside the chamber is arranged, and the separation net is rotated to separate the bowel movements buried in the sand.
However, the defecation treatment device according to the prior art has a problem that may cause a wound in the course of movement of the companion animal because the separation net is protruded into the chamber to enter the companion animal.
In addition, since the defecation treatment device according to the prior art has a structure in which the separation network is exposed inside the chamber, there is a problem that a failure or damage may occur during a collision with a companion animal.
An object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a bowel movement treatment device including a tilting function.
The present invention is a housing including an upper opening surface formed on the upper side; a drawer exposed on one side of the housing and movably assembled with respect to the housing; a cradle disposed inside the housing, exposed through the upper opening surface, and tilted by being supported by the housing; and a driving device disposed in the housing and selectively tilting the cradle, wherein the drawer is disposed below the cradle, and when the cradle is tilted, the sand and defecation stored in the cradle are stored in the cradle by their own weight. Moving in the tilted direction, the sand remains in the cradle and only the defecation falls into the drawer.
First, the present invention has the advantage that the bucket storage space in which defecation and sand are stored together and the recovery space in which the sand is filtered are separated by a grill, and defecation and sand are separated by their own weight by tilting the cradle.
Second, the present invention has the advantage that after separating the sand and defecation through the first tilting of the cradle, the separated sand is stored in the recovery housing of the cradle, and the separated defecation can be stored by dropping it into the lower drawer.
Third, the present invention has the advantage of being able to separate only defecation buried in sand by rotating the entire cradle with respect to the housing.

The defecation treatment device for companion animals according to this embodiment includes a main body 100 in which sand for defecation of companion animals is stored.
The defecation treatment device may further include a footrest 10 disposed in front of the main body 100. The height of the footrest 10 is formed to be lower than the height of the main body 100, thereby protecting the joints of the companion animal.
The footrest 10 is formed with a plurality of perforations, and when the companion animal comes out after defecation, it is possible to shake off the sand on the sole of the foot.
In this embodiment, the sand may be bentonite, and the bentonite refers to clay mainly containing montmorillonite, a mineral belonging to a monoclinic system having a crystal structure like mica. The color is white, gray, light brown, light green, etc., and is used in various fields such as casting-type binders, mixing agents for ceramic materials, and base agents for ointments.
The bentonite often includes quartz, feldspar, zeolite, and the like, and the colors are white, gray, light brown, light green, and the like. The bentonite has pearl luster and wax luster and is produced as a dense mass with a sense of fat.
The footrest 10 may be disposed in front of the drawer 120 disposed on the main body 100.
The defecation treatment device may further include a canopy 20 coupled to the main body 100 and selectively covering the upper portion of the main body 100. Although only half of the canopy 20 is illustrated in FIG. 1, the canopy 20 may be disposed to cover an upper half of the main body 100.
The main body 100 includes an outer housing 110 having an upper opening surface 11 formed on the upper side and a lower opening surface formed on the lower side on the lower side, and is disposed inside the outer housing 110, the lower opening The inner housing 130 covering the spherical surface, exposed to one side (front side in this embodiment) of the outer housing 110, and movably assembled to the outer housing 110, the inner housing 130 a drawer 120 supported by the cradle 200, disposed inside the outer housing 110, exposed to the upper opening surface 11, supported by the outer housing 110 and tilted; and a driving device 300 for selectively tilting the cradle 200.
The outer housing 110 and the inner housing 130 may be referred to as housings.
