[0001] This utility model relates to a pet urine mat. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art As the number of households that have started to keep pets increases, it has become common to use pet urine mats with various functions for pets for convenience and hygiene. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] The object of this utility model is to provide a convenient and practical pet urine mat. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] An aspect of this utility model provides a pet urine mat including: a tear-resistant layer (to make the pet urine mat less likely to be torn accidentally) located at the top of the pet urine mat when in use (used as a surface layer) and made of a tear-resistant material; a leakage-proof layer (to prevent contamination due to leakage of pet urine) located at the bottom of the pet urine mat when in use (used as a back layer) and made of a leakage-proof material; a water-absorbing layer (to retain or block urine to rapidly dry the surface of the pet urine mat and block odors) located between the tear-resistant layer and the leakage-proof layer and made of a water-absorbing material; and a pH value display layer (to visually display the pH value of urine).

[0005] The tear-resistant layer is made of any suitable tear-resistant material, such as, for example, a nonwoven fabric. The leak-proof layer is made of any suitable leak-proof material, such as, for example, a PE plastic or a PP film. The water-absorbing layer is made of any suitable water-absorbing material, such as, for example, water-absorbing wood pulp.

[0006] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the pet urine mat may further include a water-absorbent material fixing layer made of a water-permeable material and provided in close contact with either side of the water-absorbent layer. For example, the water-absorbent material fixing layer may include an upper fixing layer and a lower fixing layer provided in close contact with both the upper and lower sides of the water-absorbent layer, respectively. Such a fixing layer made of a water-permeable material such as toilet paper can serve to attach and fix a water-absorbent material such as wood pulp.

[0007] In the above embodiment, the pH value indicating layer is an independent layer, or one of the three layers, the tear-resistant layer, the water-absorbent material fixing layer, and the leak-proof layer, contains a pH value indicating component. In the latter case, the pH value indicating component is contained in one of the three layers, the tear-resistant layer, the water-absorbent material fixing layer, and the leak-proof layer, in a uniform discontinuous or continuous pattern. The pH value indicating layer may be an independent layer, but in order to simplify the manufacturing process, it is preferable that another layer also serves as the pH value indicating layer.

[0008] In the above embodiment, the tear-resistant layer and the leak-proof layer are completely the same in planar dimensions, the water-absorbent material fixing layer is completely the same in planar dimensions as the water-absorbing layer, the water-absorbent material fixing layer and the water-absorbing layer are smaller in planar dimensions than the tear-resistant layer and the leak-proof layer, and are centrally located, and the portions of the tear-resistant layer and the leak-proof layer that do not overlap with the water-absorbing layer are joined together. Such a structural design can facilitate manufacturing and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0009] In the above embodiment, the absorbent layer and the absorbent material fixing layer are pressed together, and a concave guide groove is formed at each of the pressed portions. For example, the concave guide groove extends in the form of a diamond unit. The concave guide groove serves the dual function of connecting the absorbent layer and the absorbent material fixing layer, and guiding urine downward.

[0010] In another embodiment of the present invention, the shape of the urine pad may be rectangular, with the side length being 200 mm to 1500 mm, preferably 400 mm to 1000 mm, more preferably 500 mm to 700 mm, and the thickness of the water absorption layer may be 0.5 mm to 3 mm. Effect of the Invention

[0011] The utility model has one or more of the following advantages: It can judge the health status of pets based on the pH reference value of pet urine; It can dry quickly and block the moisture of urine; It can provide antibacterial protection and prevent odor from microorganisms; It can also simplify the manufacturing process and reduce the manufacturing cost. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0012] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the pet urine mat of this utility model. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing each layer of a pet urine mat. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] The structure of the pet urine pad of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0014] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit it.

[0015] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the pet urine mat of the present utility model.

[0016] 1, the pet urine mat is generally rectangular with a side length of 200 mm to 1500 mm. The side length of the pet urine mat is preferably 400 mm to 1000 mm, and more preferably 500 mm to 700 mm.

[0017] Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that the pet urine pad is not limited to a rectangular shape but may be any other suitable shape, and the size of the urine pad is not limited to any of the dimensions given above.

[0018] The outer rectangles in FIG. 1 are the tear-resistant layer 1 and the leak-proof layer 5, where the tear-resistant layer 1 is the surface layer and the leak-proof layer 5 is the back layer. The tear-resistant layer 1 is typically made of any suitable tear-resistant material, such as a nonwoven fabric, and is used to prevent the pet urine mat from being accidentally torn, for example, by a pet's claws or other sharp objects. The leak-proof layer 5 is typically made of any suitable leak-proof material, such as a PE plastic or PP film, and is used to prevent pet urine from seeping out and contaminating the floor or gasket.

[0019] The inner rectangle in FIG. 1 is the water-absorbing layer 3, which is located between the tear-resistant layer 1 and the leak-proof layer 5. The water-absorbing layer 3 is made of any suitable material, such as water-absorbing wood pulp, known in the art, for retaining or blocking urine to rapidly dry the surface of the pet urine mat and block odor. The thickness of the water-absorbing layer 3 may be, for example, 0.5 mm to 3 mm. The thickness of the water-absorbing layer 3 may of course be any other suitable dimension.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 2, there is an upper fixing layer (upper holding layer) 2 above the water-absorbing layer 3 (surface layer). The upper fixing layer 2 is made of a water-permeable material, for example, any suitable water-permeable material such as toilet paper, and is used to fix or hold the water-absorbing layer 3 from above. There is a lower fixing layer (lower holding layer) 4 below the water-absorbing layer 3 (back layer). The lower fixing layer 4 is made of a water-permeable material, for example, any suitable water-permeable material such as toilet paper, and is used to fix or hold the water-absorbing layer 3 from below. The fixing layers 2, 4 made of such water-permeable materials such as toilet paper can serve to attach and fix water-absorbent materials such as absorbent wood pulp.

[0021] The surface layer of the upper fixing layer 2 has a pH indicating component (pH value indicating layer 6), and the area where the pH indicating component is provided is arranged as a uniform and discontinuous indicating pattern such as a puppy's head pattern.

[0022] The pH indicator can indicate the acid-base of pet urine. If it displays orange, the urine is acidic; if it displays yellow, the urine is weakly acidic; if it displays green, the urine is neutral; if it displays light blue, the urine is weakly alkaline; if it displays purple, the urine is alkaline. Pet owners can judge the acid-base of pet urine based on the reference color chart on the pet urine mat packaging box, and judge the health condition of their pets in a timely and direct manner.

[0023] In this embodiment, the pH value indicating layer 6 is provided so as to be included on the upper fixing layer 2 .

[0024] However, the pH value indicating layer 6 may be configured such that one of the three layers, the tear-resistant layer 1, the lower fixing layer 4, and the leak-proof layer 5, contains a pH value indicating component. This should be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0025] The pH value indicating component may also be included in one of the tear-resistant layer 1, the upper anchoring layer 2, the lower anchoring layer 4, and the leak-proof layer 5 in a uniform continuous pattern.

[0026] Those skilled in the art will understand that the pH value indicating layer 6 can of course also be provided as an independent layer.

[0027] Although the pH value indication layer 6 can be provided independently, it is preferable that another layer also serves as the pH value indication layer 6 in order to simplify the manufacturing process.

[0028] 1, the planar dimensions of the tear-resistant layer 1 and the leakproof layer 5 are completely consistent (the same) and larger than the planar dimensions of the water-absorbing layer 3, and the water-absorbing layer 3 is disposed centrally relative to the tear-resistant layer 1 and the leakproof layer 5. The portions of the tear-resistant layer 1 and the leakproof layer 5 that extend beyond the water-absorbing layer 3 are bonded together by, for example, thermal bonding or pressure bonding. Of course, the dimensions between the tear-resistant layer 1, the leakproof layer 5 and the water-absorbing layer 3 are not limited thereto and may be provided in any other form.

[0029] As can be seen from Fig. 1, the planar dimensions of the upper fixing layer 2, the water absorbent layer 3, and the lower fixing layer 4 are completely consistent (they are the same). The upper fixing layer 2, the water absorbent layer 3, and the lower fixing layer 4 may be pressed together, and concave guide grooves 2.1, 2.2 may be formed at the respective pressed portions. For example, in Fig. 1, the concave guide grooves 2.1, 2.2 extend in the form of a diamond unit, but the shape of the concave guide grooves 2.1, 2.2 is not limited thereto and may be arranged in any suitable form. The concave guide grooves 2.1, 2.2 perform a dual function of connecting the water absorbent layer 3 to the upper fixing layer 2 and the lower fixing layer 4, and of guiding urine downward.

[0030] In actual sales and use, the pet urine mat of the present invention is placed in a pet urine pad packaging box. The pet urine mat packaging box includes a box body and a pet urine mat packaged in the box body. The box body is made of any suitable hard or soft material.

[0031] The pH value reference color chart can be placed in the box in the form of a pH value test paper strip, however, for ease of comparison and use, it is preferred that the pH value reference color chart is printed, for example, on the side of the box.

[0032] The utility model has one or more of the following advantages: It can judge the health status of pets based on the pH reference value of pet urine; It can dry quickly and block the moisture of urine; It can provide antibacterial protection and prevent odor from microorganisms; It can also simplify the manufacturing process and reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0033] In this utility model, the directional terms "upper" and "lower" are used with respect to the pet urine mat in use.

[0034] The above-mentioned and illustrated embodiments are merely illustrative, and under the teaching of the present utility model, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications without departing from the scope of protection of the present utility model.
