Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a bowel movement training device and a bowel movement treatment device including the same. [Background technology]

[0002] With the increase in single-person households, the pet industry is growing rapidly, and more and more households are keeping pets such as dogs and cats. However, the biggest problem in pet care is the disposal of excrement.

[0003] Cats have the characteristic of searching for sand or gravel to defecate in, even without special training. However, there are problems with managing the sand, as the sand gets stuck on the cat's paws and is carried to other places in the house, and the sand generates dust and smells bad.

[0004] In addition, special sand to solve the above problems is available on the market, but there is also the problem that the sand that gets on cats' paws is absorbed into their bodies due to their tendency to groom themselves.

[0005] In addition, a device that uses a flush toilet has been developed to solve the problem of sand use. However, this is a training method in which a sand board is simply placed on top of the toilet or the area of ​​the sand board is gradually reduced, but the problem is that cats are not easily trained in this way.

In addition, the fourth housing body support part 134 may be disposed below the fourth guide groove 122d.

[0049] 6, the derivative container 200 is disposed in the internal space of the support 100 and can contain an excrement derivative. The excrement derivative can include a substance for inducing a pet's defecation activity. In other words, the excrement derivative can include at least one of sand and gravel, but is not limited thereto, and can be formed in various substances or forms capable of inducing a pet's defecation activity. The derivative container 200 can be fixedly or detachably disposed on the support 100. The derivative container 200 can include a derivative container portion 210 and a separation wall 220.

[0050] The derivative accommodating part 210 may provide a first derivative accommodating space capable of accommodating an excrement derivative. In other words, an upper side of the derivative accommodating part 210 may be opened so that the excrement derivative can be accommodated therein. A part of an outer surface of the derivative accommodating part 210 is surrounded by the wall part 120. The height of the derivative accommodating part 210 may be formed smaller than the height of the wall part 120. The derivative accommodating part 210 may be coupled to or separated from the support 100 by moving vertically along the inner surface of the wall part 120.

[0051] One or more separation walls 220 are provided and arranged inside the derivative accommodating section 210, and can divide the first derivative accommodating space into a plurality of spaces. For example, when the separation wall 220 is arranged inside the derivative accommodating section 210, the separation wall 220 may be arranged to extend in the left-right direction, but is not limited thereto. In addition, the separation wall 220 may be arranged to be removable from the derivative accommodating section 210.

[0057] Also, the separation storage unit 310 may be arranged so that the opening 310a faces upward when in the derivative storage state. The separation storage unit 310 may be arranged so that the opening 310a faces downward when in the foothold state. In other words, when the separation storage unit 310 is inverted from the derivative storage state and fastened to the support 100, it can be switched to the foothold state. When the separation storage unit 310 is in the foothold state, no excrement derivative is stored in the second derivative storage space. Also, the lower side of the separation storage unit 310 in the derivative storage state can be used as a foothold by pets that enter and exit the support 100 in the foothold state. The separation storage unit 310 may include a first separation plate 311, a second separation plate 312, a third separation plate 313, and a fourth separation plate 314.

[0058] The first separation plate 311 may extend in the left-right direction, and may be disposed spaced apart in the front-rear direction from the second separation plate 312. Such a first separation plate 311 can prevent the excrement fluid from escaping from the second induction receiving space.

[0059] The second separation plate 312 may extend in the left-right direction. The second separation plate 312 may have a height equal to or smaller than that of the first separation plate 311. The second separation plate 312 may prevent the excrement fluid from escaping from the second induction receiving space.

[0060] 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 opposite to the one side may be connected to the second separation plate 312.

[0061] One side of the third separation plate 313 may support an excrement guide when in the guide accommodation state. In other words, one side of the third separation plate 313 may form the bottom surface of the separation accommodation unit 310 when in the guide accommodation state. In addition, the other side of the third separation plate 313, which is opposite to the one side, may support a pet when in the foothold state. In other words, the other side of the third separation plate 313 may be located above the one side and serve as a foothold when in the foothold state. The other side of the third separation plate 313 may be provided with an anti-slip pad or anti-slip protrusions to prevent the pet from slipping.

[0062] Also, the third separation plate 313 may be inclined such that one side is located lower than the other side in the guide accommodation state, and one side is located higher than the other side in the foothold state. For example, the third separation plate 313 may be arranged such that one side is located forward of the other side when the separation accommodation body 300 is engaged with the first guide groove 122a in the foothold state, and the other side is located forward of the one side when the separation accommodation body 300 is engaged with the third guide groove 122c or the fourth guide groove 122d in the foothold state. When the third separation plate 313 is in the foothold state, even if the pet's feces falls on the third separation plate 313, it flows or rolls down toward the feces hole 111 and can be accommodated in the waste receptacle 10.

[0063] The fourth separation plate 314 may be supported by the container support part 130 when in the derivative housing state or the scaffold state. Such a fourth separation plate 314 allows the derivative housing part 210 to be supported by the container support part 130. The fourth separation plate 314 can be connected to the ends of the first separation plate 311, the second separation plate 312, and the third separation plate 313 and can support the protrusions 320. In other words, the protrusions 320 can be protruded from the outer surface of the fourth separation plate 314.

[0064] The fourth separation plate 314 may be supported on the upper side of any of the multiple container support parts 130 when in the guide housing state. In addition, the fourth separation plate 314 may be recessed downward from the upper end to form an engagement groove 314a when in the guide housing state. The container support part 130 can be inserted into the engagement groove 314a. In other words, when the fourth separation plate 314 is in the foothold state, the container support part 130 can be inserted into the engagement groove 314a.

[0065] As a first example, when the protrusion 320 is engaged with any one of the guide grooves 122 to be in a foothold state, any one of the multiple container support parts 130 can be inserted into the locking groove 314a. In other words, when the protrusion 320 is engaged with the first guide groove 122a, the first container support part 131 can be inserted into the locking groove 314a. Also, when the protrusion 320 is engaged with the third guide groove 122c, the third container support part 133 can be inserted into the locking groove 314a.

[0066] As a second example, when the protrusion 320 engages with the other of the multiple guide grooves 122 to be in the scaffolding state, the other of the multiple housing body support parts 130 is not inserted into the locking groove 314a and can support the fourth separation plate 314 on the upper side. In other words, when the protrusion 320 engages with the second guide groove 122b, the fourth separation plate 314 can be supported on the upper side of the second housing body support part 132. Also, when the protrusion 320 engages with the fourth guide groove 122d, the fourth separation plate 314 can be supported on the upper side of the fourth housing body support part 134. Also, the third separation plate 313 in the scaffolding state in the second example can be disposed above the third separation plate 313 in the scaffolding state in the first example.

[0067] 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 inductor receiving space.

[0068] The protrusion 320 protrudes from the outer surface of the separation accommodating part 310 and can engage with the guide groove 122 when the separation accommodating body 300 is fastened to the support body 100. In other words, the protrusion 320 can protrude in the left-right direction from the fourth separation plate 314 when the separation accommodating part 310 is supported by the container support part 130. Due to the protrusion 320, the separation accommodating part 310 can slide along the extension direction of the guide groove 122 and be detached from or engaged with the support body 100.

[0069] Meanwhile, the plurality of separation containers 300 may include a first separation container 300a, a second separation container 300b, and a third separation container 300c.

[0070] For example, the first separate housing body 300a can be engaged with the first guide groove 122a in the guide housing state or the scaffolding state. The second separate housing body 300b can be engaged with the second guide groove 122b in the guide housing state or the third guide groove 122c in the scaffolding state. The third separate housing body 300c can be engaged with the fourth guide groove 122d in the scaffolding state.

[0071] The cover 30 can cover the bowel training device 20. Such a cover 30 can prevent the bowel training device 20 from being exposed to the outside.

[0072] As one example, the cover 30 may house the bowel training device 20 while being removably engaged with the waste receptacle 10 in the up-down direction. As another example, the cover 30 may be rotatably coupled to the waste receptacle 10 to open and close the bowel training device 20. An opening may be formed on one side of the cover 30. Such an opening allows a pet to access the bowel training device 20 even when the bowel training device 20 is covered by the cover 30.

[0073] The operation and effects of the defecation training device 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention and the toilet including the same will be described below.

[0074] The bowel movement training device 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention can be installed in a toilet used by humans, and therefore can induce a pet's bowel movement to occur in the same way as in a human toilet.

[0075] In addition, since multiple separate containers 300 can be removably fastened to the support 100, the number of separate containers 300 fastened to the support 100 can be adjusted according to the adaptability and size of the pet to the defecation training device 20.

[0076] In addition, the separate container 300 can be removed or placed in a scaffolding state so that the pet waste falls to the defecation hole 111 and the waste receptacle 10.

[0077] That is, when a pet is stepping on the excrement guide in the internal space of the support 100, the position of the separation container 300 can be adjusted so that the pet excrement does not fall into the guide housed in the separation container 300 and the guide housed in the guide house 200. That is, the position and direction of the separation container 300 can be adjusted so that the falling positions of the hind legs and the excrement are not simultaneously located in the inner regions of the excrement guide housed in the guide container 200 and the separation container 300, depending on the body structure of the pet.

[0078] In addition, the wall portion 120 prevents the pet's buttocks from stepping on the induction container 200 and facing forward, so that the pet can face the entrance / exit 121 and the pet's waste can fall into the defecation hole 111.

[0079] In addition, even if a pet does not step into the derivative container 200, but steps on the support plate 110 in the direction of the entrance / exit 121 or the second separate container 300b or the third separate container 300c in the direction of the entrance / exit 121 to defecate with its buttocks facing the direction of the derivative container 200 where the derivative is located, the position and direction of the separate container 300 can be adjusted so that the pet's excrement does not fall into the separate container 300 and the derivatives contained in the derivative container 200.

[0080] In addition, since the third separation plate 313 is inclined, even if the waste falls onto the third separation plate 313, the waste can flow into the defecation hole 111 or roll down.

[0081] In addition, since the separate container 300 can be fastened to the support 100 in a scaffolding state, the pet can use the defecation training device 20 safely.

[0082] In addition, the separation wall 220 of the derivative container 200 can prevent the excrement derivative from coming off the derivative container 200 even if the pet scratches the excrement derivative.

[0083] When the pet smoothly performs defecation activities in the defecation training device 20, the separate containers 300 of the defecation training device 20 can be sequentially removed or switched to a scaffolding state while maintaining a certain period of time. In addition, when the separate containers 300 are sequentially removed, if the pet smoothly performs defecation activities in the defecation training device 20, the separate containers 300 can finally be completely removed from the defecation training device 20. Thereafter, if the pet smoothly performs defecation activities through the defecation training device 20 in which the derivative containers 200 are not contained, the defecation training device 20 can finally be removed and the pet can perform defecation activities in the defecation treatment device 1 even without the defecation training device 20. While the separate containers 300 of the defecation training device 20 are sequentially removed or switched to a scaffolding state, the pet's excrement falls directly into the defecation hole 111, the excrement derivative is not contaminated, and the pet's behavior of scratching the derivative can be reduced, so that the amount of excrement derivative consumed for defecation activities can be significantly reduced.

[0084] Hereinafter, a pet defecation training method using the defecation training device 20 according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs.

[0085] When the first separate storage body 300a is engaged with the first guide groove 122a in the guide housing state, the second separate storage body 300b is engaged with the second guide groove 122b in the guide housing state, and the third separate storage body 300c is engaged with the fourth guide groove 122d in the foothold state, the pet defecates smoothly, and the excrement is stored in the excrement receiver 10 through the defecation hole 111. Then, the second separate storage body 300b can be switched to the foothold state or separated from the support 100. In other words, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the second separate storage body 300b can be switched to the foothold state and engaged with the third guide groove 122c. When the second separated container 300b engages with the third guide groove 122c in a scaffolding state, the third container support portion 133 is inserted into the locking groove 314a of the second separated container 300b, and the lower side of the fourth separated plate 314 can be positioned lower than the lower surface of the support plate 110.

[0086] Thereafter, when the pet defecates smoothly and the waste is contained in the waste receptacle 10 through the defecation hole 111, the first separated container 300a can be switched to the scaffold state as shown in Fig. 11. In other words, the first separated container 300a can be engaged with the first guide groove 122a in the scaffold state. When the first separated container 300a is engaged with the first guide groove 122a in the scaffold state, the first container support part 131 is inserted into the locking groove 314a of the first separated container 300a, and the lower side of the fourth separated plate 314 can be positioned lower than the lower surface of the support plate 110.

[0087] Thereafter, when the pet defecates smoothly and the pet's waste is received in the waste receiver 10 through the defecation hole 111, the waste derivative is received only in a part of the first derivative receiving space partitioned by the separation wall 220 of the derivative receiving body 200 depending on the adaptability, or the waste derivative can be completely removed from the first derivative receiving space.

[0088] Meanwhile, the above-mentioned defecation training method is merely an example, and the state switching and position of the separation container 300 can be set differently depending on the size and adaptability of the pet.

[0089] A defecation training device 20 according to a second embodiment of the present invention and a defecation disposal device 1 including the same will be described below with reference to Fig. 12. In describing the second embodiment, a difference is that the defecation training device 20 includes upper and lower support bases 400, and therefore this difference will be mainly described.

[0090] The upper and lower support stands 400 may extend downward from the derivative container 200 and be supported inside the excrement receiver 10. The upper and lower support stands 400 may support the derivative container 200 such that the derivative container 200 is spaced apart from the support plate 110 and positioned at the defecation hole 111. By using such upper and lower support stands 400, the derivative container 200 may be positioned inside the region of the defecation hole 111 when viewed from above.

[0091] The separated container 300 may be disposed between the derivative container 200 and the support plate 110. In other words, the separated container 300 may be removably supported by one or more of the derivative container 200 and the support plate 110 and disposed at the defecation hole 111. The separated container 300 may be formed to extend along the inner surface of the support plate 110 or the outer surface shape of the derivative container 200. In other words, the separated container 300 may be disposed to surround at least a portion of the outer surface of the derivative container 200 when viewed from above.

[0092] Also, a plurality of separation containers 300 may be formed. Any one of the plurality of separation containers 300 may be disposed closer to the support plate 110 than the other separation containers 300. Hereinafter, the separation container 300 disposed closer to the support plate 110 among the plurality of separation containers 300 is referred to as a fourth separation container 300d, and the separation container 300 disposed closer to the derivative container 200 among the plurality of separation containers 300 is referred to as a fifth separation container 300e.

[0093] The fourth separation housing 300d is disposed between the support plate 110 and the fifth separation housing 300e, and may be removably supported by at least one of the support plate 110 and the fifth separation housing 300e in an induction housing state or a scaffolding state. The length of the fourth separation housing 300d in the extension direction may be longer than the length of the fifth separation housing 300e in the extension direction. A plurality of fourth separation housings 300d may be formed. The plurality of fourth separation housings 300d may be arranged along the inner side surface of the support plate 110. For example, the number of the plurality of fourth separation housings 300d may be four. The fourth separation housing 300d may be a donut shape extending along the inner side surface of the support plate 110 with no boundary between the start and the end.

[0094] The fifth separation container 300e is disposed between the derivative container 200 and the fourth separation container 300d, and may be removably supported by at least one of the derivative container 200 and the fifth separation container 300e in a derivative container state or a scaffolding state. A plurality of the fifth separation containers 300e may be formed. The plurality of fifth separation containers 300e may be arranged along the outer side surface of the derivative container 200. For example, the plurality of fifth separation containers 300e may be four. The fifth separation container 300e may be in a donut shape extending along the outer side surface of the derivative container 200 with no boundary between the start and end.

[0095] A defecation training device 20 according to a third embodiment of the present invention and a defecation disposal device 1 including the same will be described below with reference to Figure 13. In describing the third embodiment, a difference is that the defecation training device 20 includes a horizontal support base 500, and therefore this difference will be mainly described.

[0096] The horizontal support 500 may extend from the inner surface of the support plate 110 to the derivative container 200 in order to support the derivative container 200. Due to the horizontal support 500, the derivative container 200 can be disposed inside the region of the defecation hole 111 of the support plate 110 when viewed from above. Also, a plurality of horizontal support tables 500 may be formed and disposed spaced apart from each other along the inner surface of the support plate 110.

[0097] The separate container 300 may be supported by one or more of the support plate 110, the induction container 200, and the horizontal support 500 and disposed at the defecation hole 111. In addition, the fourth separate container 300d and the fifth separate container 300e may be disposed between a plurality of the horizontal support 500.

[0098] In the first embodiment of the present invention, the minimum condition for the pet's excrement to fall at the defecation hole 111 is determined by the width and length of the derivative container 200 in which the derivative is contained. In other words, the size of the pet that can be used is determined by the width and length of the derivative container 200. This is because a part of the derivative container 200 is blocked by the wall 120. For example, if the derivative container 200 is adapted to a small pet and the wall 120 is sufficiently high, a large pet cannot take a defecation posture by stepping on the derivative container 200 due to the defecation posture and the shape of the animal being blocked by the wall 120. If the derivative container 200 is adapted to a small pet and the wall 120 is not sufficiently high, the function of the wall 120 to control the defecation direction of the pet is lost. Therefore, the first embodiment of the present invention may not be usable for both small and large pets at the same time.

[0099] In contrast, in the second and third embodiments, since there is no obstruction such as the wall portion 120, the pet can assume a defecation posture as long as it can step on the inductive container 200. In other words, when the defecation disposal device 1 has a specific fixed size, the second and third embodiments can accommodate a wider range of pet sizes than the first embodiment.

[0100] Although the examples of the present invention have been described above as specific embodiments, these are merely illustrative, and the present invention is not limited thereto, and should be construed as having the broadest scope based on the technical ideas disclosed in this specification. Those skilled in the art may combine / replace the disclosed embodiments to implement patterns of shapes not shown, but this would not depart from the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art may easily modify or change the embodiments disclosed based on this specification, and it is clear that such modifications or changes also fall within the scope of the present invention.
