Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] In the above-described animal toilet, the water-absorbent sheet is housed in the drawer. Therefore, by pulling out the drawer from the main body, the operation of replacing the used water-absorbent sheet with a new one can be easily performed. However, there is a problem that if there are obstacles (such as room walls and furniture) in front of the drawer, the operation of pulling out the drawer from the main body will be hindered.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide an animal toilet having a structure in which the operation of pulling out the drawer from the main body is hardly hindered. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The animal toilet according to the present invention comprises a main body that receives excreted urine, a partition having a through hole for the urine to pass through and dividing the internal space of the main body into an upper space and a lower space, and a pull-out section that can be inserted into and removed from the main body, wherein the pull-out section is configured to be able to be pulled out from the main body in multiple directions.

[0007] In this animal litter box, the drawer section is designed to be able to be pulled out from the main body in multiple directions. Therefore, even if an obstacle is present in front of the drawer section, it is possible to pull the drawer section out from the main body without being obstructed by the obstacle by pulling it out in another direction. [Effects of the Invention]

[0008] According to the present invention, an animal toilet is realized in which the operation of pulling out the drawer from the main body is not easily obstructed. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0010] Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0011] Figure 1 is an end view showing one embodiment of an animal toilet according to the present invention. The animal toilet 1 comprises a main body 10, a partition 20, a drawer 30, a plurality of granular materials 40, and an absorbent sheet 50. The animal toilet 1 is, for example, a cat toilet. The main body 10 consists of a single box-shaped container and has a bottom 12 and side 14. The main body 10 receives the excreted urine. The external shape of the main body 10 is substantially a rectangular parallelepiped. As the material of the main body 10, for example, plastic can be used. Examples of plastics include polypropylene or polyethylene.

[0012] Figure 2 is a plan view showing the main body 10. The bottom surface 12 is roughly rectangular in plan view. Here, "roughly rectangular" does not mean a perfect rectangle, but also includes shapes close to a rectangle, such as a rounded quadrilateral. The side surface 14 consists of side walls 14a (first side wall), 14b (second side wall), 14c (third side wall), and 14d (fourth side wall). Side walls 14a, 14b, 14c, and 14d are connected to each of the four sides of the bottom surface 12. Side walls 14a and 14b face each other. Similarly, side walls 14c and 14d face each other.

[0013] Figure 3 is an end view showing the main body 10. Figures 4 and 5 are side views showing the main body 10. Figures 4 and 5 are side views of the main body 10 as seen from the side wall 14a and the side wall 14b, respectively. Multiple openings 16 are formed in the side wall 14. The openings 16 are for inserting and removing the drawer 30. The multiple openings 16 include opening 16a (first opening) and opening 16b (second opening). In this embodiment, the multiple openings 16 include only openings 16a and 16b. Openings 16a and 16b face each other. Opening 16a is formed in the side wall 14a. Opening 16b is formed in the side wall 14b. Openings 16a and 16b have congruent shapes. Each opening 16a, 16b is located near the bottom surface 12 and has a horizontally elongated rectangular shape. The length of each opening 16a, 16b in the horizontal direction (left-right direction in Figures 4 and 5) is approximately equal to the width (internal dimension) of the main body 10, for example, 20 cm or more and 40 cm or less. The length of each opening 16a, 16b in the vertical direction (up-down direction in Figures 4 and 5) is for example, 2 cm or more and 5 cm or less.

[0014] The main body 10 has a support portion 18. The support portion 18 protrudes inward from the side portion 14 of the main body 10. The support portion 18 supports the partition portion 20 from below. In plan view, the support portion 18 is provided along the entire inner circumference of the side portion 14 (see Figure 2). That is, the support portion 18 consists of a protrusion provided in an annular shape along the inner circumference of the side portion 14. In plan view, the inner circumference of the side portion 14 is substantially rectangular. The protruding length of the support portion 18 (length in the direction perpendicular to the inner surface of the side portion 14 on which the support portion 18 is provided) is, for example, 5 mm or more and 15 mm or less. The support portion 18 may be molded integrally with the side portion 14, or it may be molded separately from the side portion 14 and then attached to the side portion 14.

[0015] FIG. 6 is a plan view showing the partition portion 20. The partition portion 20 is placed on the support portion 18. The partition portion 20 is not fixed to the main body portion 10. The partition portion 20 is detachable from the main body portion 10. The partition portion 20 can be disposed in the main body portion 10 in a state where the entire periphery thereof is separated from the side surface portion 14. The partition portion 20 is made of a plate-like member. The partition portion 20 is substantially rectangular in plan view. The partition portion 20 is arranged parallel to the bottom surface portion 12. Also, the partition portion 20 is disposed at a position separated from both the upper end of the main body portion 10 (side surface portion 14) and the water-absorbing sheet 50. Thereby, the partition portion 20 partitions the internal space of the main body portion 10 into an upper space S1 and a lower space S2. The upper space S1 exists above the partition portion 20 and is a space where a plurality of granular bodies 40 are laid. The lower space S2 exists below the partition portion 20 and is a space where urine accumulates. As the material of the partition portion 20, for example, plastic can be used.

[0016] The partition portion 20 has through holes 22 for allowing urine to pass through. The through holes 22 allow urine to pass through while not allowing each granular body 40 to pass through. The partition portion 20 has a plurality of through holes 22. The plurality of through holes 22 are arranged in a grid pattern in the partition portion 20. The planar shape of each through hole 22 is circular. The diameter of each through hole 22 is, for example, 2 mm or more and 10 mm or less.

[0017] Figures 7 and 8 are perspective views showing the drawer portion 30. The drawer portion 30 can be inserted into and removed from the main body portion 10. The drawer portion 30 is positioned in the lower space S2 of the main body portion 10 when inserted into the main body portion 10. A water-absorbent sheet 50 is accommodated in the drawer portion 30. As the material of the drawer portion 30, for example, plastic can be used. The drawer portion 30 has a bottom plate 32, a front plate 34a (first front plate), a front plate 34b (second front plate), a side plate 36a (first side plate), and a side plate 36b (second side plate). The bottom plate 32 is rectangular in plan view. The size of the bottom plate 32 is substantially equal to the size of the bottom surface portion 12 of the main body portion 10. The front plates 34a and 34b are connected to respective opposite two sides of the bottom plate 32. Figures 7 and 8 are perspective views when viewing the drawer portion 30 from the front plate 34a side and the front plate 34b side, respectively. The side plates 36a and 36b are connected to respective remaining two sides of the bottom plate 32.

[0018] The front plates 34a and 34b have substantially the same shape and size as the openings 16a and 16b, respectively. When the drawer portion 30 is inserted into the main body portion 10, the front plates 34a and 34b are fitted into the openings 16a and 16b, respectively. In the present embodiment, the front plates 34a and 34b have congruent shapes with each other. Handles 38 are attached to the front plates 34a and 34b. The side plates 36a and 36b also have congruent shapes with each other. The height of each of the side plates 36a, 36b is equal to the height of each of the front plates 34a, 34b. That is, the upper ends of each of the side plates 36a, 36b are flush with the upper ends of each of the front plates 34a, 34b.

[0019] The drawer portion 30 is configured to be pulled out from the main body portion 10 in a plurality of directions. That is, the drawer portion 30 is configured to be pulled out in a plurality of different directions with respect to the main body portion 10. Such a plurality of directions are all directions in the horizontal plane (directions parallel to the bottom surface portion 12). The plurality of directions include a direction D1 (first direction) and a direction D2 (second direction) (see FIG. 1). The direction D1 and the direction D2 are opposite directions to each other. In the present embodiment, the plurality of directions include only the direction D1 and the direction D2.

[0020] The drawer section 30 can be inserted into and removed from the main body section 10 through each opening 16 (openings 16a, 16b). That is, the drawer section 30 can be inserted into and removed from the main body section 10 from either the side wall 14a or the side wall 14b. The drawer section 30 is configured so that when it is inserted into the main body section 10 through either opening 16a or opening 16b, it can be pulled out through the other opening 16a or opening 16b. That is, a drawer section 30 inserted into the main body section 10 through opening 16a can be pulled out through either opening 16a or opening 16b. Similarly, a drawer section 30 inserted into the main body section 10 through opening 16b can also be pulled out through either opening 16a or opening 16b.

[0021] When the drawer section 30 is extended or retracted from the main body section 10, the drawer section 30 slides along the side walls 14c and 14d. The outer surfaces of each side plate 36a, 36b (the portion facing the side wall 14c or side wall 14d) and / or the inner surfaces of each side wall 14c, 14d (the portion facing the side plate 36a or side plate 36b) may have protrusions or grooves formed therein to guide the drawer section 30.

[0022] Returning to Figure 1, multiple granular bodies 40 for processing excrement (mainly urine) are laid in the upper space S1 of the main body 10. The multiple granular bodies 40 are laid directly on the partition 20. Each granular body 40 is granular. Examples of such granular shapes include spheres, cylinders, or ellipsoids. The particle size of each granular body 40 is, for example, 3 mm to 30 mm. Here, the particle size of the granular body 40 is defined as the diameter of the smallest sphere that can contain the granular body 40. When the animal toilet 1 is used, the granular bodies 40 will directly receive the excrement.

[0023] The granular material 40 is hydrophobic. That is, the granular material 40 does not absorb liquids such as urine at all, or absorbs very little. Unlike granular material with water absorption properties, the hydrophobic granular material 40 does not stick together and form clumps when wet with urine.

[0024] For granular material 40 to be hydrophobic, the liquid permeability measured by the following test must be 60% or higher. First, place 50g of granular material 40 (sample) into a sieve with an inner diameter of 10cm and a mesh size of 1mm. Place an empty beaker below the sieve. Then, using a syringe with an outer cylinder inner diameter of 3cm and a tip inner diameter of 4mm (Terumo 60ml syringe), dropwise add 30ml of water to the sample over 10 seconds. After standing for 1 minute, measure the amount of water in the beaker. The liquid permeability is calculated as the ratio of the measured amount of water to the amount of water added (30ml). If the amount of water in the beaker is 18ml or more, the liquid permeability is 60% or higher, and therefore, granular material 40 can be said to be hydrophobic.

[0025] Each granular material 40 is preferably made primarily of organic matter. Here, the main material of the granular material 40 refers to the material that accounts for the largest weight percentage of the granular material 40 among the one or more materials that make up the granular material 40. Examples of such organic matter include paper, plants, plastics, or organic sludge. Each granular material 40 may consist only of organic matter, or it may consist of organic matter and inorganic matter.

[0026] Paper refers to materials primarily composed of pulp. Examples of paper include, for example, ordinary paper (paper dust), photographic paper, release paper, fluff pulp, paper derived from vinyl wallpaper (paper generated during the manufacture or classification of vinyl wallpaper), paper derived from gypsum board (paper generated during the manufacture or classification of gypsum board), or paper derived from sanitary products (paper generated during the manufacture or classification of sanitary products containing paper). Examples of sanitary products containing paper include disposable diapers, sanitary napkins, incontinence pads, or sanitary paper (tissue paper, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.). Examples of plant materials include, for example, wood powder, sawdust, or plant residues (tea leaves, okara, etc.). Examples of plastics include, for example, ordinary plastics, aluminum-metallized film, plastic derived from vinyl wallpaper (plastic generated during the manufacture or classification of vinyl wallpaper), or plastic derived from sanitary products (plastic generated during the manufacture or classification of sanitary products containing plastic). Examples of sanitary products containing plastic include disposable diapers, sanitary napkins, incontinence pads, or sanitary masks. Examples of organic sludges that can be used include papermaking sludge or pulp sludge. These materials may or may not be treated with hydrophobic (water-repellent) treatment.

[0027] The granular material 40 may consist of only one material or two or more materials. In the former case, the granular material 40 will consist only of the main material described above. In the latter case, the granular material 40 will be composed of a mixture of the main material and other materials. Examples of other materials include gypsum or baking soda. Adding gypsum or baking soda makes it easier to impart hydrophobicity to the granular material 40. The proportion of gypsum or baking soda is, for example, 5% by weight or more and less than 50% by weight of the total granular material 40.

[0028] The granular material 40 can be manufactured, for example, by the following method. First, granulation is performed on the granulating material (the material constituting the granular material 40) using a granulation apparatus to form granules that will become the granular material 40. For example, an extruder can be used as the granulation apparatus. The granules may be subjected to hydrophobic treatment as needed. Hydrophobic treatment can be performed, for example, by coating the surface of the granules with a hydrophobic agent (water repellent). If hydrophobic treatment is not performed, it is preferable to increase the pressure applied to the granulating material during granulation to minimize the formation of gaps within the granules. This is because such gaps become pathways for liquids such as urine to penetrate into the interior of the granular material 40. Prior to granulation, pre-treatment such as crushing, kneading, and hydration is performed on the granulating material as needed. After granulation, post-treatment such as sieving (separation) and drying is performed as needed.

[0029] An absorbent sheet 50 is placed in the lower space S2 of the main body 10. The absorbent sheet 50 is placed in the lower space S2 while housed in the drawer 30. The absorbent sheet 50 absorbs urine that passes through the through-hole 22 of the partition 20.

[0030] When the animal toilet 1 is used, the urine excreted in the main body 10 passes through the gaps between the granular materials 30 and then moves from the upper space S1 to the lower space S2 through the through-holes 22 of the partition 20. The urine that moves to the lower space S2 is absorbed by the absorbent sheet 50. In this way, the urine accumulates in the lower space S2 while absorbed by the absorbent sheet 50.

[0031] The effects of the animal toilet 1 are explained below. In the animal toilet 1, the pull-out section 30 is configured to be able to be pulled out from the main body 10 in multiple directions. Therefore, even if there is an obstacle in front of the pull-out section 30, by pulling the pull-out section 30 in another direction, it is possible to pull the pull-out section 30 out from the main body 10 without being obstructed by the obstacle. For example, as shown in Figure 9, if there is an obstacle 90 in front of the pull-out section 30 in direction D1, the operation of pulling the pull-out section 30 in direction D1 will be obstructed by the obstacle 90. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 10, the operation of pulling the pull-out section 30 in direction D2 will not be obstructed by the obstacle 90. Thus, the animal toilet 1 has been realized with a structure that makes it difficult to obstruct the operation of pulling out the pull-out section 30 from the main body 10.

[0032] The above-mentioned multiple directions include directions D1 and D2, which are diametrically opposed to each other. By enabling the pull-out section 30 to be pulled out in these two diametrically opposed directions, even if an obstacle exists in front of the pull-out section 30 in one direction, the obstacle can be reliably avoided by pulling out the pull-out section 30 in the other direction.

[0033] The above multiple orientations include only orientations D1 and D2. In this case, it is sufficient that the drawer section 30 is displaceable in only one direction (the direction including orientations D1 and D2) relative to the main body section 10. Therefore, a drawer section 30 that can be pulled out in multiple orientations can be easily realized.

[0034] Multiple openings 16 are formed in the side surface 14 of the main body 10, and the drawer section 30 can be inserted into and removed from the main body 10 through each of the openings 16. This makes it possible to realize a drawer section 30 that can be pulled out from the main body 10 in multiple directions with a simple configuration.

[0035] The multiple openings 16 include openings 16a and 16b that face each other. By providing openings 16a and 16b in positions that face each other in this way, a pull-out section 30 that can be pulled out in two completely opposite directions (directions D1 and D2) can be realized with a simple configuration.

[0036] The drawer section 30 is configured so that it can be inserted into the main body section 10 through either opening 16a or opening 16b, and then pulled out through the other opening 16a or opening 16b. In this case, the opening 16 (opening 16a or opening 16b) into which the drawer section 30 is inserted and the opening 16 from which the drawer section 30 is pulled out do not need to be the same, so it is possible to flexibly select which opening 16 to pull out the drawer section 30 from.

[0037] The openings 16a and 16b are formed in the opposing side walls 14a and 14b, respectively. This allows the opposing openings 16a and 16b to be realized with a simple configuration.

[0038] The drawer section 30 has front plates 34a and 34b. By providing multiple front plates to the drawer section 30 in this way, it is possible to realize a drawer section 30 with a structure suitable for pulling out from the main body section 10 in multiple directions.

[0039] Front panels 34a and 34b have congruent shapes. This allows the drawer section 30 to be inserted into each opening 16 from either side of front panel 34a or front panel 34b. That is, the drawer section 30 may be inserted so that front panels 34a and 34b fit into openings 16a and 16b respectively, or the drawer section 30 may be inserted so that front panels 34a and 34b fit into openings 16b and 16a respectively.

[0040] Handles 38 are attached to the front panels 34a and 34b. This allows the drawer section 30 to be easily pulled out from either side of the front panels 34a or 34b.

[0041] The granular material 40 is hydrophobic. In this case, most of the urine excreted on the granular material 40 is not absorbed by the granular material 40, but passes through the gaps between the granular material 40. This allows the urine to be quickly guided to the lower space S2.

[0042] When each granular material 40 is primarily made of organic matter, granular materials 40 suitable for incineration can be obtained. This contributes to the convenience of disposing of used granular materials 40. In particular, when each granular material 40 consists solely of organic matter, granular materials 40 that are even more suitable for incineration can be obtained.

[0043] The main body 10 consists of a single container. In this case, an animal toilet 1 having an upper space S1 and a lower space S2 can be realized with a simpler configuration compared to when the main body 10 consists of multiple containers.

[0044] The partition 20 is not fixed to the main body 10. In this case, it becomes easy to attach and detach the partition 20 from the main body 10.

[0045] The partition 20 is placed on the support 18. This allows the partition 20 to be kept in a predetermined position within the main body 10 without being fixed to the main body 10.

[0046] The support portion 18 is provided along the entire inner circumference of the side portion 14 in a plan view. This makes it easier to prevent the partition portion 20 from falling into the lower space S2.

[0047] The partition 20 can be installed inside the main body 10 with its entire perimeter separated from the side portion 14. By providing a margin between the partition 20 and the side portion 14 in this way, the partition 20 can be smoothly attached to and detached from the main body 10.

[0048] An absorbent sheet 50 is placed in the lower space S2. This allows the urine accumulated in the lower space S2 to be contained within the absorbent sheet 50. As a result, the generation of unpleasant odors from the urine can be mitigated.

[0049] Incidentally, unlike other animals such as dogs, cats have the habit of concealing their excrement with granular material after defecating. Therefore, an animal toilet 1 in which multiple granular materials 40 are laid in the upper space S1 can be used particularly suitably as a cat toilet.

[0050] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications are possible. In the above embodiments, the case in which the planar shape of the through hole 22 is circular was illustrated. However, the planar shape of the through hole 22 is arbitrary and may be, for example, elliptical or polygonal, such as a rectangle.

[0051] In the above embodiment, an example was given in which the main body 10 is composed of one container. However, the main body 10 may be composed of multiple containers, for example, as shown in Figure 11. In the same figure, the main body 10 is composed of two containers (containers 62 and 64). Each container 62 and 64 is box-shaped with a bottom and side surfaces. Container 62 is stacked on top of container 64. The bottom surface of container 62 has a through hole 22, which constitutes a partition 20. As a result, the internal space of container 62 and the internal space of container 64 become the upper space S1 and the lower space S2, respectively. Furthermore, the bottom surface of container 64 constitutes the bottom surface of the main body 10, and the side surfaces of container 62 and container 64 constitute the side surfaces of the main body 10.
