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 management is the disposal of excrement.

[0003] Cats have the ability to find sand or gravel to defecate in without any special training, but there are problems with managing the sand, such as the sand getting stuck on the cat's paws and being carried to other places in the house, or the dust that is generated and the sand giving off an odor.

[0004] In addition, special sand is available on the market to address the above issues, but there is also the problem that the sand 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 using sand. 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 using this method.

[0028] Referring to Fig. 1, a defecation disposal device 1 may be a device capable of containing and disposing of feces. Such a defecation disposal device 1 may be a toilet bowl used by humans or a pet toilet bowl for disposing of feces from pets. Such a defecation disposal device 1 may include one or more of an excrement receptacle 10, a defecation training device 20, and a cover 30. Meanwhile, in an embodiment of the present invention, the pet that defecates in the defecation training device 20 may be, but is not limited to, a cat, and may be an animal that can live with humans.

[0029] The waste receptacle 10 can provide a space for storing pet waste. The waste receptacle 10 can form the outer surface of the defecation disposal device 1. For example, the waste receptacle 10 can be a toilet bowl for humans or a toilet bowl for pets. The waste receptacle 10 can also store water for disposing of the waste.

[0030] 2 to 4, the bowel training device 20 is a device that is supported on the waste receptacle 10 and can guide a pet's bowel movements. For example, the bowel training device 20 may be supported on the seat of the left toilet. Such a bowel training device 20 may include one or more of a support 100, a guide container 200, and a separate container 300.

[0031] 5, the support 100 can provide an interior space where a pet can enter and exit to defecate. The support 100 can be removably coupled to the waste receptacle 10. For example, the support 100 can be removably supported on the waste receptacle 10 by adhesive, stickers, bulk, hooks, non-slip pads, etc. Such a support 100 can include a support plate 110, a wall portion 120, and a container support portion 130.

[0032] The support plate 110 may extend horizontally and be supported above the waste receptacle 10. The support plate 110 may also support the induction container 200. The support plate 110 may be formed with defecation holes 111 through which the feces of a pet defecating in the internal space of the support body 100 can pass. The pet's feces that pass through the defecation holes 111 can be collected in the waste receptacle 10. In the present invention, the defecation hole 111 is shown as a square, but is not limited thereto and may be formed in various shapes such as a circle or a polygon as long as the pet's feces can pass through. In the present invention, the support plate 110 has been described as having one defecation hole 111, but is not limited thereto and may have a plurality of defecation holes 111. That is, the induction container 200 may be disposed between the plurality of defecation holes 111.

[0033] The wall 120 may protrude upward from the upper surface of the support plate 110 to accommodate the derivative container 200. In other words, the wall 120 may be formed to surround the outer surface of the derivative container 200. Such a wall 120 may form an internal space of the support body 100. One side of the wall 120 may be formed with an entrance 121 through which a pet can enter and exit the interior. In other words, the pet can enter and exit the internal space of the support body 100 through the entrance 121. At least a portion of the wall 120 may extend horizontally such that the entrance 121 is closer to the defecation hole 111 than the other side opposite to the one side. In other words, the entrance 121 may be disposed near the defecation hole 111.

Hereinafter, the direction in which the head of a pet that defecates in the internal space of the support 100 faces is referred to as the front side, and the direction in which the buttocks face is referred to as the rear side.

[0034] In other words, when the entrance 121 is viewed from above, at least a portion of the wall 120 may extend in the front-rear direction so as to overlap with the defecation hole 111, but is not limited to this, and the entrance 121 may be formed so that it is located further forward than the front side of the defecation hole 111 or further rearward than the rear side of the defecation hole 111. In addition, the front side of the wall 120 may be formed as a curved surface along the outer surface of the induction container 200. The height of the wall 120 may decrease toward the entrance 121.

[0035] Furthermore, a guide groove 122 that engages with the separate container 300 may be formed on the inner surface of the wall 120. The guide groove 122 may be recessed in the left-right direction from the inner surface of the wall 120 and extend in the up-down direction, but is not limited thereto. In other words, at least a portion of the guide groove 122 may extend in the up-down direction, and another portion of the guide groove 122 may extend in the front-rear direction. Such guide groove 122 allows the separate container 300 to be coupled to or separated from the support body 100 while sliding up-down or forward-rear in the internal space of the support body 100. The guide groove 122 may be formed on the wall 120 so as to be located between the entrance 121 of the wall 120 and the inductive container 200.

[0037] The first guide groove 122a may be disposed closer to the induction container 200 than the second guide groove 122b, the third guide groove 122c, and the fourth guide groove 122d. Furthermore, the length of the first guide groove 122a in the vertical direction may be greater than the lengths of the second guide groove 122b, the third guide groove 122c, and the fourth guide groove 122d.

[0038] The second guide groove 122b may be disposed between the first guide groove 122a and the third guide groove 122c. The vertical length of the second guide groove 122b may be greater than the vertical lengths of the third guide groove 122c and the fourth guide groove 122d.

[0039] The third guide groove 122c may be disposed between the second guide groove 122b and the fourth guide groove 122d. The vertical length of the third guide groove 122c may be greater than the vertical length of the fourth guide groove 122d.

[0040] The fourth guide groove 122d may be disposed closer to the entrance 121 than the first guide groove 122a, the second guide groove 122b, and the third guide groove 122c. The fourth guide groove 122d may be formed to have a vertical length smaller than that of the first guide groove 122a, the second guide groove 122b, and the third guide groove 122c.

[0041] Meanwhile, although the present invention has been described with respect to the case where one entrance 121 is formed in the wall 120, the present invention is not limited to this. In other words, the entrance 121 may be formed on each of one side and the other side of the wall 120, so that the pet can enter and exit the internal space of the support 100 from one side and the other side of the wall 120.

[0042] The container support part 130 may support the separate container 300 so that the separate container 300 is positioned in the internal space of the support body 100. The container support part 130 may prevent the separate container 300 from passing through the defecation hole 111 and falling into the waste container 10.

[0048] The fourth housing body support part 134 may be disposed closer to the entrance 121 of the wall part 120 than the first housing body support part 131, the second housing body support part 132, and the third housing body support part 133. Furthermore, the fourth housing body support part 134 may be disposed below the fourth guide groove 122d.

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

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

[0051] One or more separation walls 220 may be provided and arranged inside the derivative accommodating section 210 to divide the first derivative accommodating space into a plurality of spaces. For example, when 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 to this. Furthermore, the separation wall 220 may be arranged to be detachable from the derivative accommodating section 210.

[0052] In addition, a portion of the separation wall 220 or a portion of the dielectric accommodating portion 210 partitioned by the separation wall 220 may be or may be modified to have an upwardly extending shape, and the extended height may be equal to or greater than the height of the wall portion 120. The upwardly extending separation wall 220 may serve to reduce the area of ​​the first dielectric accommodating space.

[0053] 7 and 8, the separation container 300 may contain an excrement derivative. The excrement derivative contained in the separation container 300 and the excrement derivative contained in the derivative container 200 may be the same, but are not limited thereto, and may be formed of different materials or shapes. For example, the separation container 300 may contain sand, and the derivative container 200 may contain gravel. The separation container 300 may be detachably coupled to the support 100 so as to be aligned in the front-to-rear direction with the derivative container 200 in the internal space of the support 100. In other words, the separation container 300 may be engaged with the wall 120 so as to be positioned rearward of the derivative container 200. The separation container 300 may also be engaged with the wall 120 so as to overlap the defecation hole 111 when viewed from above.

[0054] The separate container 300 can be coupled to the support 100 in a guide receiving state or a scaffolding state. In other words, the separate container 300 can be positioned in the guide receiving state or the scaffolding state by engaging with any of the guide grooves 122. The guide receiving state is a state in which the separate container 300 is coupled to the support 100 in a state for receiving an excrement guide in the second guide receiving space. The scaffolding state is a state in which the separate container 300 is coupled to the support 100 in a state for supporting a pet that has entered or exited the internal space of the support 100.

[0055] In addition, a plurality of separate containers 300 may be formed. The number of separate containers 300 may be less than the number of guide grooves 122 so that the pet's feces are received in the waste receptacle 10 through the defecation holes 111, but is not limited to this. When any one of the plurality of separate containers 300 engages with any one of the plurality of guide grooves 122, any one of the plurality of separate containers 300 can engage with the other of the plurality of guide grooves 122. In addition, any one of the plurality of separate containers 300 engaged with the guide grooves 122 and the other one may be spaced apart from each other so that the pet's feces can pass through the defecation holes 111 and be received in the waste receptacle 10. Such a separate container 300 may include a separate container portion 310 and a protrusion 320.

[0056] The separation container 310 may provide a second lead-in accommodating space for accommodating the excrement derivative. An opening 310a may be formed so that the excrement derivative of the separation container 310 can be accommodated in the second lead-in accommodating space. The separation container 310 may be supported by the container support 130 when the separation container 300 is fastened to the wall 120.

[0057] Furthermore, the separation and storage unit 310 may be arranged such that the opening 310a faces upward when in the guide housing state. The separation and storage unit 310 may be arranged such that the opening 310a faces downward when in the foothold state. In other words, when the separation and storage unit 310 is inverted from the guide housing state and fastened to the support body 100, it can be switched to the foothold state. When the separation and storage unit 310 is in the foothold state, no excrement guide is stored in the second guide housing space. Furthermore, the lower side of the separation and storage unit 310 in the guide housing state can be used as a foothold for pets that enter and exit the support body 100 in the foothold state. The separation and 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 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 the same height as or a height 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 surface of the third separation plate 313 can support the excrement guide when in the guide-accommodating state. In other words, one surface of the third separation plate 313 can form the bottom surface of the separation and accommodation unit 310 when in the guide-accommodating state. In addition, the other surface of the third separation plate 313, which is opposite to the one surface, can support the pet when in the foothold state. In other words, the other surface of the third separation plate 313 is located above the one surface and can serve as a foothold when in the foothold state. The other surface of the third separation plate 313 can be provided with an anti-slip pad or anti-slip protrusions to prevent the pet from slipping.

[0062] In addition, the third separation plate 313 may be inclined so that one side is located lower than the other side in the guide housing 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 so that one side is located forward of the other side when the separation housing body 300 is engaged with the first guide groove 122a in the foothold state, and so that the other side is located forward of the one side when the separation housing 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 pet feces fall onto the third separation plate 313, they will flow or roll down toward the defecation hole 111 and be collected in the waste container 10.

[0063] The fourth separation plate 314 may be supported by the container support part 130 when in the inductor-accommodating state or the scaffolding state. The fourth separation plate 314 allows the inductor-accommodating 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 protrude 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 plurality of container support parts 130 when in the guide housing state. Furthermore, the fourth separation plate 314 may be formed with a locking groove 314a that is recessed downward from the upper end when in the guide housing state. The container support part 130 can be inserted into the locking 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 locking groove 314a.

[0065] As a first example, when the protrusion 320 is engaged with one of the guide grooves 122 and in a foothold state, one of the 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. Furthermore, 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 plurality of guide grooves 122 to establish a foothold state, the other of the plurality of container support parts 130 is not inserted into the locking groove 314a and can support the fourth separation plate 314 above. In other words, when the protrusion 320 engages with the second guide groove 122b, the fourth separation plate 314 can be supported above the second container support part 132. Furthermore, when the protrusion 320 engages with the fourth guide groove 122d, the fourth separation plate 314 can be supported above the fourth container support part 134. Furthermore, the third separation plate 313 in the foothold state in the second example can be positioned above the third separation plate 313 in the foothold 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 induction receiving space.

[0068] The protrusions 320 protrude from the outer surface of the separation receiving unit 310 and can be engaged with the guide grooves 122 when the separation receiving unit 300 is fastened to the support body 100. In other words, the protrusions 320 can protrude in the left-right direction from the fourth separation plate 314 when the separation receiving unit 310 is supported by the support body support part 130. The protrusions 320 allow the separation receiving unit 310 to slide along the extension direction of the guide grooves 122 and be engaged with or detached from 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 can house the toilet training device 20 while removably engaging with the waste receptacle 10 in the vertical direction. As another example, the cover 30 can be rotatably coupled to the waste receptacle 10 to open and close the toilet training device 20. An opening can be formed on one side of the cover 30. This opening allows a pet to access the toilet training device 20 even when the toilet training device 20 is covered by the cover 30.

[0073] The following describes 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.

[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 can induce a pet's bowel movements 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 depending on 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 steps on an 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 guides contained in the separation container 300 and the guide container 200. That is, the position and direction of the separation container 300 can be adjusted so that, depending on the body structure of the pet, the falling positions of the hind legs and the excrement do not simultaneously lie within the inner regions of the excrement guide contained in the guide container 200 and the separation container 300.

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

[0079] Furthermore, even if a pet does not step into the derivative container 200 but instead steps on the support plate 110 in the direction of the entrance / exit 121 or the second or third separate container 300b or 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] Furthermore, since the third separation plate 313 is inclined, even if excrement falls onto the third separation plate 313, the excrement can flow into the defecation hole 111 or roll down.

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

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

[0083] If the pet defecates smoothly in the bowel training device 20, the separate containers 300 of the bowel training device 20 can be sequentially removed or switched to a platform state while maintaining a certain period of time. Furthermore, if the pet defecates smoothly in the bowel training device 20 while the separate containers 300 are sequentially removed, the separate containers 300 can finally be completely removed from the bowel training device 20. Thereafter, if the pet defecates smoothly through the bowel training device 20 without the derivative containers 200, the bowel training device 20 can finally be removed, and the pet can defecate using the bowel treatment device 1 without the bowel training device 20. As the separate containers 300 of the bowel training device 20 are sequentially removed or switched to a platform state, the pet's excrement falls directly into the defecation hole 111, preventing contamination of the excrement derivative and reducing the pet's tendency to scratch the derivative, thereby significantly reducing the amount of excrement derivative consumed for defecation.

[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 container 300a is engaged with the first guide groove 122a in the guide housing state, the second separate container 300b is engaged with the second guide groove 122b in the guide housing state, and the third separate container 300c is engaged with the fourth guide groove 122d in the platform state, and the pet defecates smoothly, and waste is collected in the waste receptacle 10 through the defecation hole 111, the second separate container 300b can be switched to the platform state or separated from the support 100. In other words, as shown in Figures 9 and 10, the second separate container 300b can be switched to the platform state and engaged with the third guide groove 122c. When the second separate storage body 300b engages with the third guide groove 122c in a scaffolding state, the third storage body support part 133 is inserted into the locking groove 314a of the second separate storage body 300b, and the lower side of the fourth separate 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 collected in the waste container 10 through the defecation hole 111, the first separate container 300a can be switched to the foothold state as shown in Fig. 11. In other words, the first separate container 300a can be engaged with the first guide groove 122a in the foothold state. When the first separate container 300a is engaged with the first guide groove 122a in the foothold state, the first container support part 131 is inserted into the locking groove 314a of the first separate container 300a, and the underside of the fourth separate plate 314 can be positioned below the underside of the support plate 110.

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

[0088] Meanwhile, the above-described method for defecation training is merely an example, and the state switching and position of the separate 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 Figure 12. In describing the second embodiment, a difference lies in the inclusion of upper and lower support bases 400 in the defecation training device 20, and this difference will be mainly described.

[0090] The upper and lower support bases 400 may extend downward from the derivative container 200 and be supported inside the excrement receptacle 10. Furthermore, the upper and lower support bases 400 may support the derivative container 200 so 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 bases 400, the derivative container 200 can be positioned inside the area of ​​the defecation hole 111 when viewed from above.

[0091] The separate container 300 may be disposed between the derivative container 200 and the support plate 110. In other words, the separate container 300 may be removably supported on one or more of the derivative container 200 and the support plate 110 and disposed at the defecation orifice 111. The separate 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 separate 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 others. Hereinafter, the separation container 300 disposed closer to the support plate 110 among the plurality of separation containers 300 will be 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 will be referred to as a fifth separation container 300e.

[0093] The fourth separation housing 300d may be 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 a guide 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 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 donut-shaped, extending along the inner surface of the support plate 110 and having no boundary between the beginning 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 containing state or a scaffolding state. A plurality of fifth separation containers 300e may be formed. The plurality of fifth separation containers 300e may be arranged along the outer surface of the derivative container 200. For example, the number of 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 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 such 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 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 base 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 horizontal support bases 500.

[0098] In the first embodiment of the present invention, the minimum condition for the pet's excrement to fall into the defecation hole 111 is determined by the width and length of the derivative container 200 in which the derivative is housed. In other words, the width and length of the derivative container 200 determine the size of the pet that can be used. This is because a portion of the derivative container 200 is blocked by the wall 120. For example, if the derivative container 200 is designed for a small pet and the wall 120 is sufficiently high, a large pet will be blocked by the wall 120 and will not be able to step on the derivative container 200 to defecate, depending on the animal's defecation posture and shape. If the derivative container 200 is designed for a small pet and the wall 120 is not sufficiently high, the function of the wall 120 to control the direction of defecation of the pet will be 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, there is no obstruction such as the wall portion 120, so the pet can assume a defecation posture as long as it can step into the induction 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 above examples of the present invention have been described as specific embodiments, these are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited thereto and should be construed as having the broadest scope based on the technical ideas disclosed herein. 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.
