Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a potty training device and a stool disposer including the potty training device. Background Art

[0002] With the increase in single-person households and the booming pet industry, more and more families are starting to keep dogs, cats and various other pets, and one of the biggest challenges in pet care is the disposal of feces.

[0003] Cats naturally seek out sand or gravel for defecation and do not require any special training. However, there are some problems with sand management, such as sand getting on the cat's paws and being transferred to other parts of the home, creating dust and giving the sand an unpleasant odor.

[0004] There is special sand on the market that can solve the above problems, but due to the cat's habit of combing its hair, the sand and dust on its claws may be absorbed into the cat's body.

[0005] In addition, flushable litter boxes have been developed to address the problems associated with the use of sand. This involves a training method that simply places a sand plate on top of the litter box or gradually reduces the size of the sand plate, but cats are not easily trained by the above method.

[0065] In addition, a portion of the inducer receiving part 210 divided by the partition wall 220 or a portion of the partition wall 220 can be extended upward or deformed to extend upward, and the extension height can be equal to or greater than the height of the wall 120. The partition wall 220 extending upward in this way can play a role in reducing the area of ​​the first inducer receiving space.

[0066] Further references Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the separation receiver 300 can receive a defecation inducer. The defecation inducer in the separation receiver 300 can be the same as the defecation inducer in the inducer receiver 200, but the content of the present disclosure is not limited thereto, and the defecation inducer can be composed of different substances and can also take different forms. For example, the separation receiver 300 can include sand, while the inducer receiver 200 can include gravel. The separation receiver 300 can be detachably connected to the support body 100 so as to be aligned with the inducer receiver 200 in the front-to-back direction in the internal space of the support body 100.

When the separation receiver 300 is fixed to the wall 120, the separation receiving part 310 may be supported on the receiver support 130.

[0070] In addition, the separation receiving part 310 can be arranged so that the opening 310a is upward in the inducement receiving state. The separation receiving part 310 can be arranged so that the opening 310a is downward in the pedal state. In other words, when the separation receiving part 310 is turned over and fixed on the support body 100 in the inducement receiving state, the separation receiving part 310 can be converted into the pedal state. When the separation receiving part 310 is in the pedal state, the defecation inducement will not be received in the second inducement receiving space. In addition, the lower side of the separation receiving part 310 in the inducement receiving state can be used as a pedal for the pet to enter and leave the support body 100 in the pedal state. The separation receiving part 310 may include a first separation plate 311, a second separation plate 312, a third separation plate 313 and a fourth separation plate 314.

[0071] The first separation plate 311 may extend in the left-right direction and may be disposed to be spaced apart in the front-rear direction from the second separation plate 312. The first separation plate 311 may prevent the defecation inducer from leaking out of the second inducer receiving space.

[0072] The second separation plate 312 may extend in the left-right direction. The height of the second separation plate 312 may be equal to or less than the height of the first separation plate 311. The second separation plate 312 may prevent the defecation inducer from leaking out of the second inducer receiving space.

[0073] The third separation plate 313 may extend in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction to be connected to the first separation plate 311 and the second separation plate 312. In other words, one side of the third separation plate 313 may be connected to the first separation plate 311, and the other side of the third separation plate 313 opposite to the one side may be connected to the second separation plate 312.

[0074] In the inducement receiving state, the defecation inducement may be supported on one surface of the third separation plate 313. In other words, in the inducement receiving state, one surface of the third separation plate 313 may form the bottom surface of the separation receiving part 310. In addition, another surface of the third separation plate 313 opposite to the one surface may support the pet in the pedal state. In other words, in the pedal state, the other surface of the third separation plate 313 may be higher than the one surface and serve as a pedal. The other surface of the third separation plate 313 may be provided with an anti-skid pad or an anti-skid protrusion to prevent the pet from slipping.

[0075] In addition, the third separation plate 313 may be arranged at a certain angle so that one side of the third separation plate 313 is lower than the other side of the third separation plate 313 in the inducement receiving state, and the one side of the third separation plate 313 is higher than the other side of the third separation plate 313 in the pedal state. For example, the third separation plate 313 may be arranged so that when the separation receiver 300 is engaged with the first guide groove 122a and the separation receiver 300 is in the pedal state, one side of the third separation plate 313 is located before the other side of the third separation plate 313; the third separation plate 313 may be arranged so that when the separation receiver 300 is engaged with the third guide groove 122c or the fourth guide groove 122d and the separation receiver 300 is in the pedal state, the other side of the third separation plate 313 is located before one side of the third separation plate 313. When the third separation plate 313 is in the pedal state, even if pet feces falls on the third separation plate 313, the pet feces may flow or roll toward the defecation hole 111, thereby being received in the feces container 10.

[0076] The fourth separation plate 314 may be supported on the receiver support 130 in the inducer receiving state or the foot pedal state. The separation receiver 300 may be supported on the receiver support 130 by the fourth separation plate 314. The fourth separation plate 314 is connected to the edge of the first separation plate 311, the edge of the second separation plate 312, and the edge of the third separation plate 313, and may support the protrusion 320. In other words, the protrusion 320 may protrude from the outer surface of the fourth separation plate 314.

[0077] In the inducement receiving state, the fourth separation plate 314 may be supported on the upper side of any one of the plurality of receiver supports 130. In addition, in the inducement receiving state, a locking groove 314a may be formed on the fourth separation plate 314 by being recessed downward from the top. The receiver support 130 may be inserted into the locking groove 314a. In other words, when the fourth separation plate 314 is in the pedal state, the receiver support 130 may be inserted into the locking groove 314a.

[0078] As a first example, when the protrusion 320 is engaged with any one of the plurality of guide grooves 122 in the foot pedal state, any one of the plurality of receiver supports 130 may be inserted into the locking groove 314a. In other words, when the protrusion 320 is engaged with the first guide groove 122a, the first receiver support 131 may be inserted into the locking groove 314a. Furthermore, when the protrusion 320 is engaged with the third guide groove 122c, the third receiver support 133 may be inserted into the locking groove 314a.

[0079] As a second example, when the protrusion 320 is engaged with another one of the plurality of guide grooves 122 in the pedal state, another one of the plurality of receiver supports 130 is not inserted into the locking groove 314a and may support the fourth separation plate 314 thereon. In other words, when the protrusion 320 is engaged with the second guide groove 122b, the fourth separation plate 314 may be supported on the upper side of the second receiver support 132. Furthermore, when the protrusion 320 is engaged with the fourth guide groove 122d, the fourth separation plate 314 may be supported on the upper side of the fourth receiver support 134. Furthermore, the third separation plate 313 in the pedal state in the second example may be disposed above the third separation plate 313 in the pedal state in the first example.

[0080] The first separation plate 311 , the second separation plate 312 , the third separation plate 313 , and the fourth separation plate 314 may be connected to each other to form a second inducer receiving space.

[0081] The protrusion 320 may protrude from the outer surface of the separation receiving part 310, and when the separation receiver 300 is fixed to the support body 100, the protrusion 320 may engage with the guide groove 122. In other words, when the separation receiving part 310 is supported on the receiver support 130, the protrusion 320 may protrude in the left-right direction from the fourth separation plate 314. Through the protrusion 320, the separation receiving part 310 can slide along the extending direction of the guide groove 122, and can be removed from the support body 100 or coupled to the support body 100.

[0082] Meanwhile, the plurality of separation receivers 300 may include a first separation receiver 300a, a second separation receiver 300b, and a third separation receiver 300c. For example, the first separation receiver 300a may be engaged with the first guide groove 122a in the induction receiving state or the pedal state. In addition, the second separation receiver 300b may be engaged with the second guide groove 122b in the induction receiving state, or may be engaged with the third guide groove 122c in the pedal state. In addition, the third separation receiver 300c may be engaged with the fourth guide groove 122d in the pedal state.

[0083] The cover 30 may cover the potty training device 20. The cover 30 may prevent the potty training device 20 from being exposed to the outside. For example, the cover 30 may house the potty training device 20 while being detachably coupled to the stool container 10 in the up and down directions. For another example, the cover 30 may be rotatably coupled to the stool container 10 to open or close the potty training device 20. An opening may be formed at one side of the cover 30. Through this opening, the pet can enter the potty training device 20 even if the potty training device 20 is covered by the cover 30.

[0084] The operation and effects of the potty training device 20 and the toilet seat including the potty training device 20 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below.

[0085] Since the potty training device 20 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure can be installed on a toilet seat used by a person, the pet can be induced to defecate on the toilet seat of the person.

[0086] Furthermore, since a plurality of separation receivers 300 may be detachably fixed to the support body 100 , the number of separation receivers 300 fixed to the support body 100 may be adjusted according to the adaptability of the pet to the potty training device 20 and the size of the pet.

[0087] Furthermore, by removing the separation receiver 300 or setting the separation receiver 300 to a pedal state, the position where pet feces falls can be set to the defecation hole 111 and the feces container 10 .

[0088] That is, when the pet stands on the defecation inducer in the inner space of the support body 100, the position of the separation receiver 300 can be adjusted so that the pet's feces will not fall into the inducer contained in the separation receiver 300 and the inducer receiver 200. In other words, the position and direction of the separation receiver 300 can be adjusted so that the pet's hind legs and the feces falling position will not be located simultaneously in the inner area of ​​the inducer receiver 200 and the separation receiver 300 containing the defecation inducer due to the pet's body structure.

[0089] In addition, due to the existence of the wall 120 , when the pet steps on the inducer receiver 200 , the pet's buttocks cannot face the front side, so the pet's buttocks will face the entrance 121 , and the pet's feces will fall into the defecation hole 111 .

[0090] In addition, when the pet steps on the support plate 110 along the direction of the entrance 121, or steps on the second separation receiver 300b, or the third separation receiver 300c along the direction of the entrance 121, instead of stepping on the inducer receiver 200, and defecates along the direction of the inducer receiver 200 containing the inducer, the position and direction of the separation receiver 300 can also be adjusted so that the pet's feces will not fall into the inducer contained in the separation receiver 300 and the inducer receiver 200.

[0091] Furthermore, the third separation plate 313 is inclined, so even if feces falls on the third separation plate 313 , the feces can flow or roll down into the defecation hole 111 .

[0092] Furthermore, since the detached receiver 300 can be fixed to the support body 100 in the foot pedal state, the pet can safely use the potty training device 20 .

[0093] Furthermore, even if the pet scratches the defecation inducer, the partition wall 220 of the inducer receiver 200 prevents the defecation inducer from being separated from the inducer receiver 200 .

[0094] When the pet defecates smoothly in the potty training device 20, the separation receiver 300 of the potty training device 20 can be removed in sequence or converted to the pedal state and maintained for a certain period of time. In addition, if the pet defecates smoothly through the potty training device 20, and the separation receiver 300 is removed in sequence, the separation receiver 300 can be completely removed from the potty training device 20. Thereafter, when the pet defecates smoothly through the potty training device 20 without the inducement receiver 200 installed, the potty training device 20 is finally removed, so that the pet can defecate through the feces processor 1 without the potty training device 20. By removing the separation receiver 300 of the potty training device 20 in sequence, or converting the separation receiver 300 of the potty training device 20 to the pedal state, the pet's feces will directly fall into the defecation hole 111, so as not to contaminate the defecation inducer. In addition, since the behavior of the pet scratching the defecation inducer can be reduced, the amount of defecation inducer consumed during defecation will also be greatly reduced.

[0095] The following will refer to Figures 9 to 11 A pet toilet training method using the potty training device 20 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure is described.

[0096] When the first separation receiver 300a is engaged with the first guide groove 122a in the inducement receiving state, the second separation receiver 300b is engaged with the second guide groove 122b in the inducement receiving state, and the third separation receiver 300c is engaged with the fourth guide groove 122d in the pedal state, the pet defecates smoothly and the feces are received in the feces container 10 through the defecation hole 111, the second separation receiver 300b can be converted to the pedal state or separated from the support body 100. In other words, as Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the second separation receiver 300b can be converted into a pedal state and engaged with the third guide groove 122c. When the second separation receiver 300b is engaged with the third guide groove 122c in the pedal state, the third receiver support 133 is inserted into the locking groove 314a of the second separation receiver 300b, so that the lower side of the fourth separation plate 314 can be set to be lower than the lower surface of the support plate 110.

[0097] Thereafter, when the pet defecates smoothly and the feces are received into the feces container 10 through the defecation hole 111, the first separation receiver 300a can be converted into the pedal state, such as Fig.11 In other words, the first separation receiver 300a can be engaged with the first guide groove 122a in the pedal state. When the first separation receiver 300a is engaged with the first guide groove 122a in the pedal state, the first receiver support 131 is inserted into the locking groove 314a of the first separation receiver 300a, so that the lower side of the fourth separation plate 314 can be set to be lower than the lower surface of the support plate 110.

[0098] Thereafter, when the pet defecates smoothly and the feces are received into the feces container 10 through the defecation hole 111, the defecation inducer can be contained only in a part of the first inducer receiving space divided by the partition wall 220 of the inducer receiver 200, or the defecation inducer can be completely removed from the first inducer receiving space, depending on the adaptability of the pet.

[0099] Meanwhile, the above toilet training method is only an example, and the state transition and position of the separation receiver 300 may also be set differently according to the pet's body size and adaptability.

[0100] The following will refer to Fig.12 A potty training device 20 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure and a feces disposer 1 including the potty training device 20 are described. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the potty training device 20 includes a vertical support member 400, and this difference will be mainly described.

[0101] The vertical support member 400 may extend downward from the inducement receiver 200 and may be supported on the inner side of the feces container 10. In addition, the vertical support member 400 may support the inducement receiver 200 so that the inducement receiver 200 is spaced apart from the support plate 110 and is located in the defecation hole 111. Due to the presence of the vertical support member 400, the inducement receiver 200 may be located in the area of ​​the defecation hole 111 when viewed from above.

[0102] The separation receiver 300 may be located between the inducer receiver 200 and the support plate 110. In other words, the separation receiver 300 may be detachably supported on one or more of the inducer receiver 200 and the support plate 110, and the separation receiver 300 may be disposed in the defecation hole 111. In addition, the separation receiver 300 may be formed to extend along the inner surface of the support plate 110 or the outer shape of the inducer receiver 200. In other words, the separation receiver 300 may be disposed to surround at least a portion of the outer surface of the inducer receiver 200 when viewed from above.

[0103] In addition, a plurality of separation receivers 300 may be provided. One of the plurality of separation receivers 300 may be disposed closer to the support plate 110 than the other separation receivers. Hereinafter, a separation receiver 300 disposed close to the support plate 110 among the plurality of separation receivers 300 is referred to as a fourth separation receiver 300d, and a separation receiver 300 disposed close to the inducement receiver 200 among the plurality of separation receivers 300 is referred to as a fifth separation receiver 300e.

[0104] The fourth separation receiver 300d may be arranged between the support plate 110 and the fifth separation receiver 300e, and the fourth separation receiver 300d may be detachably supported on one or more of the support plate 110 and the fifth separation receiver 300e in the inducement receiving state or the pedal state. In addition, the length of the fourth separation receiver 300d in the extension direction may be greater than the length of the fifth separation receiver 300e in the extension direction. In addition, a plurality of fourth separation receivers 300d may be provided. A plurality of fourth separation receivers 300d may be arranged along the inner surface of the support plate 110. For example, the number of the fourth separation receivers 300d may be four. In addition, the fourth separation receiver 300d may extend along the inner surface of the support plate 110, and may be in the shape of a donut without a starting point and an end point boundary.

[0105] The fifth separation receiver 300e can be arranged between the inducer receiver 200 and the fourth separation receiver 300d, and the fifth separation receiver 300e can be detachably supported on one or more of the inducer receiver 200 and the fourth separation receiver 300d in the inducer receiving state or the pedal state. In addition, a plurality of fifth separation receivers 300e can be provided. A plurality of fifth separation receivers 300e can be arranged along the outer surface of the inducer receiver 200. For example, the number of the fifth separation receiver 300e can be four. In addition, the fifth separation receiver 300e can extend along the outer surface of the inducer receiver 200, and can be in a donut shape without a starting point and an end point boundary.

[0106] The following will refer to Fig.13 A potty training device 20 according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure and a feces disposer 1 including the potty training device 20 are described. The third embodiment is different from the above-described embodiments in that the potty training device 20 includes a horizontal support member 500, and this difference will be mainly described.

[0107] The horizontal support member 500 may extend from the inner surface of the support plate 110 to the inducement receiver 200 to support the inducement receiver 200. When viewed from the top, due to the presence of the horizontal support member 500, the inducement receiver 200 can be placed in the defecation hole 111 area of ​​the support plate 110. In addition, a plurality of horizontal support members 500 may be provided, and the plurality of horizontal support members 500 may be spaced apart from each other along the inner surface of the support plate 110.

[0108] The separation receiver 300 may be supported on one or more of the support plate 110, the inducer receiver 200, and the horizontal support member 500, and disposed in the defecation hole 111. In addition, the fourth separation receiver 300d and the fifth separation receiver 300e may be disposed between the plurality of horizontal support members 500.

[0109] In the first embodiment of the present disclosure, the minimum condition for the pet feces to fall into the defecation hole 111 is determined by the width and length of the inducer receiver 200 containing the inducer. In other words, the size of the pet that can use the potty training device depends on the width and length of the inducer receiver 200. This is because a part of the inducer receiver 200 is blocked by the wall 120. For example, if the inducer receiver 200 is suitable for small pets and the wall 120 is high enough, a large pet will be blocked by the wall 120 due to its defecation posture and shape, and thus cannot step on the inducer receiver 200 and maintain the defecation posture.

[0110] On the other hand, in the second and third embodiments, since there are no obstacles such as the wall 120, the pet can assume a defecation posture as long as it can step on the inducer receiver 200. That is, when the feces disposer 1 has a specific fixed size, the size range of pets that can use the feces disposer 1 in the second and third embodiments can be larger than the size range of pets in the first embodiment.
