[0033] The rear panel (7) can be attached to the rear end of the cover (3) and can cover the rear of the internal space (1S) of the housing (2, 3). The rear panel (7) can be detachably attached to the cover (3) or can be an integral part of the cover (3).

[0034]

[0035] Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the pad (9) may be a square pad. Alternatively, the pad (9) may have various shapes such as a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon. The corners of the pad (9) may be rounded. The pad (9) may include two long sides (9La, 9Lb) that are opposite to each other and two short sides (9Sa, 9Sb) that are opposite to each other. The first long side (9La) may form a left side of the pad (9), and the second long side (9Lb) may form a right side of the pad (9). The first short side (9Sa) may form a front side of the pad (9), and the second short side (9Sb) may form a rear side of the pad (9).

[0036] The groove (2G) may be formed by recessing from the upper surface of the base (2) and may have a shape corresponding to the pad (9). The base (2) having the groove (2G) may have a tub shape. The groove (2G) may be referred to as a receiving groove (2G). The pad (9) may be positioned on the groove (2G) of the base (2).

[0037] A pin (2P) may be formed in a groove (2G). A protrusion (2Q) may protrude from the bottom of the groove (2G), and the pin (2P) may protrude from the top of the protrusion (2Q). An electronic component embedded in the base (2) may be electrically connected to the pin (2P). The pin (2P) may be a pogo pin.

[0038] A terminal (9P) may be formed at the bottom of the pad (9) and aligned with the pin (2P). The terminal (9P) may be adjacent to the second short side (9Sb). The recessed portion (9Q) may be recessed from the bottom of the pad (9), and the terminal (9P) may be formed in the recessed portion (9Q). An electronic component embedded in the pad (9) may be electrically connected to the terminal (9P).

[0039] When the pad (9) is inserted into the receiving groove (2G) of the base (2), the terminal (9P) of the pad (9) can be electrically connected by contacting the pin (2P) of the base (2). Alternatively, the terminal may be formed in the base (2) and the pin may be formed in the pad (9). The protrusion (2Q) may be inserted into the recess (9Q) and may guide the coupling of the base (2) and the pad (9).

[0040] Accordingly, the pad (9) can be electrically connected to the base (2). For example, the base (2) can be connected to an external power source via a power cable, and the base (2) can provide power and signals to the pad (9) via pins (2P) and terminals (9P).

[0041] The feet (9R) may be formed at the bottom of the pad (9). The feet (9R) may be adjacent to corners where the long sides (9La, 9Lb) and the short sides (9Sa, 9Sb) of the pad (9) meet. The feet (9R) may protrude downward from the bottom of the pad (9). Accordingly, when the pad (9) having the feet (9R) is placed on the ground, the bottom of the pad (9) may be spaced apart from the ground by a thickness of the feet (9R).

[0042] The recessed portions (2R) can be formed in the grooves (2G) and aligned with the feet (9R). When the pad (9) is inserted into the grooves (2G), the feet (9R) can be positioned on the recessed portions (2R).

[0043]

The bottom case (2A) may form the bottom of the base (2), and the top case (2B) may be coupled to the base (2) to form the top of the base (2). A groove (2G) may be formed in the top case (2B). Electronic components of the base (2) may be placed in an internal space (2S) of the base (2) formed between the bottom case (2A) and the top case (2B).

[0045] The pad (9) may include a bottom case (9A) and a top case (9B). The bottom case (9A) may form the bottom of the pad (9), and the top case (9B) may be coupled to the bottom case (9A) to form the top of the pad (9). Electronic components of the pad (9) may be placed in an internal space (9S) of the pad (9) formed between the bottom case (9A) and the top case (9B).

[0046] The depth (D2, see Fig. 4) of the groove (2G) can correspond to the thickness (t9, see Fig. 4) of the pad (9). The upper surface (9U) of the pad (9) inserted into the groove (2G) can be parallel to the upper surface (2U) of the base (2) or form a slight step. The lateral side of the pad (9) can be spaced apart from the side wall of the groove (2G) by a gap (G9). For example, the gap (G9) can be 2 mm or less. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the pet's paw from falling between the pad (9) and the groove (2G). It may also be difficult to insert the user's finger between the pad (9) and the groove (2G).

[0047]

[0048] Referring to FIGS. 6 to 9, a lift assembly (29) may be coupled to a base (2). The lift assembly (29) may be referred to as a strap assembly (29) or a disassembly assembly (29). The lift assembly (29) may include an extension member (290). The extension member (290) may be referred to as a support member (290).

[0049] The extension member (290) can be extended in a long manner. The longitudinal direction of the extension member (290) can be parallel to the front-rear direction. The length of the extension member (290) can be several times longer than the width of the extension member (290). At least a portion of the extension member (290) can be elastic. The elastic portion of the extension member (290) can include a rubber material. When an external force is applied to the extension member (290) in a direction that increases the length of the extension member (290), the extension member (290) can be extended, and when the external force is released, the extension member (290) can be shortened to its original length. The extension member (290) can include a first part (291) and a second part (292). In the longitudinal direction of the extension member (290), the first part (291) may form a part of the extension member (290), and the second part (292) may form the remainder of the extension member (290).

[0050] The first part (291) may be extended in the longitudinal direction of the extension member (290). One end of the first part (291) may form one end of the extension member (290). A slot (291H) may be formed in the first part (291) adjacent to the other end of the first part (291). The slot (291H) may be formed to be elongated in the longitudinal direction of the first part (291). A plurality of slots (291Ha, 291Hb) may be spaced apart from each other in the width direction of the first part (291). The slots (291Ha, 291Hb) may be symmetrical with respect to the center line (290L) of the extension member (290). The number of slots (291H) may be two.

[0051] For example, the first part (291) may be a strap. The strap may include a fabric material. Alternatively, at least a portion of the first part (291) may be an elastic band. The band may include a rubber material. The first part (291) may be referred to as a strap (291).

[0052] The second part (292) may be extended in the longitudinal direction of the extension member (290). One end of the second part (292) may be joined or fixed to the other end of the first part (291). For example, the second part (292) may be fused to the first part (291). The other end of the second part (292) may form the other end of the extension member (290). A hole (292H) may be formed in the second part (292) adjacent to the other end of the second part (292). The hole (292H) may be a circular hole. The hole (292H) may be located on the center line (290L) of the extension member (290).

[0053] For example, the second part (292) may be an elastic band. The band may include a rubber material. The second part (292) may be referred to as a band (292).

[0054] The base (2) may include a pressed portion (21), a slit (22), a protrusion (23), and a fixed portion (24).

[0055] The press portion (21) can be formed in the groove (2G) of the base (2). The press portion (21) can be formed by pressing from the front surface of the groove (2G) toward the internal space (2S) of the base (2). A part of the press portion (21) can be formed by pressing from the upper surface (2U) of the base (2) toward the internal space (2S) of the base (2). The press portion (21) can be positioned on a center line extending forward and backward while passing through the center of the groove (2G). The press portion (21) can be extended along the first part (291) of the extension member (290) and have a width corresponding to the width of the first part (291). The first part (21a) of the press portion (21) can form one end of the press portion (21) and can be flat. The third part (21c) of the press portion (21) can form the other end of the press portion (21) and can be flat. The second part (21b) of the press portion (21) can connect the first and third parts (21a, 21c) and can be curved. The first part (291) can be positioned on the press portion (21), and one end of the press portion (21) can be adjacent to one end of the first part (291). The thickness of the extension member (290) can be equal to or less than the depth of the press portion (21). The thickness of the first part (291) can be equal to or less than the depth of the press portion (21).

[0056] A slit (22) may be formed in the press portion (21) adjacent to the other end of the press portion (21). The slit (22) may be formed on the bottom and / or side wall of the press portion (21). The first part (291) of the extension member (290) may pass through the slit (22). That is, the first part (291a) of the first part (291) may be positioned on the press portion (21) of the groove (2G), and the second part (291b) of the first part (291) may be positioned below the groove (2G). The second part (291b) may be positioned in the internal space (2S) of the base (2) formed between the bottom case (2A) and the top case (2B). The second part (292) of the extension member (290) can be positioned in the internal space (2S) and connected to the second part (291b) of the first part (291). The first part (291a) can be referred to as a support part (291a), and the second part (291b) can be referred to as a guide part (291b).

[0057] The protrusion (23) may be formed on the inner surface of the base (2) and may be inserted into the slot (291H) of the first part (291). The slot (291H) may be formed on the second portion (291b) of the first part (291). The protrusion (23) may protrude from the inner surface of the top case (2B) and / or the inner surface of the bottom case (2A) toward the slot (291H). Each of the plurality of protrusions (23a, 23b) may be inserted into each of the plurality of slots (291Ha, 291Hb). The diameter of the protrusion (23) may be smaller than the length of the slot (291H). That is, the protrusion (23) may move relatively to the slot (291H). That is, the protrusion (23) may guide or restrict the movement of the slot (291H).

[0058] The fixing member (24) can be formed on the inner surface of the base (2) and can be inserted into the hole (292H) of the second part (292) of the extension member (290). The fixing member (24) can protrude toward the hole (292H) from the inner surface of the top case (2B) and / or the inner surface of the bottom case (2A). The diameter of the fixing member (24) can be equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the hole (292H). The fixing member (24) can limit the movement of the hole (292H). The supporting member (25) can be formed on the inner surface of the base (2) opposite the fixing member (24). The second part (292) can be positioned or sandwiched between the supporting member (25) and the inner surface of the base (2) (e.g., the inner surface of the top case (2B)). The second part (292) can be fixed or attached to the inner surface of the base (2) through a structure other than the aforementioned fixed part (24) and hole (292H) (for example, using an adhesive or insert injection).

[0059] Accordingly, the lift assembly (29) can be coupled to the base (2).

[0060]

[0061] Referring to FIGS. 9 and 10, the pad (9) may be positioned in the groove (2G) of the base (2). The pad (9) may cover a portion of the extension member (290) positioned in the groove (2G). A portion of the first portion (291a) of the first part (291) may be positioned on the second and third portions (21b, 21c, see FIG. 7) of the press portion (21) of the base (2) and may be covered by the pad (9). The remainder of the first portion (291a) of the first part (291) may be positioned on the first portion (21a, see FIG. 7) of the press portion (21) of the base (2) and may not be covered by the pad (9).

[0062] A portion (290E) adjacent to one end of the extension member (290) may be exposed outside of the pad (9) inserted into the groove (2G). The portion (290E) adjacent to the one end of the extension member (290) may not be covered by the pad (9). The portion (290E) adjacent to the one end of the extension member (290) may be referred to as a distal end (290E), a handle (290E), or a grip (290E), and may be positioned in a press portion (21, i.e., a first portion (21a)) formed on the upper surface (2U) of the base (2). The first portion (21a) may be positioned in the center of the front portion of the upper surface (2U) of the base (2). A narrow gap may be formed between the handle (290E) and the side wall of the first portion (21a).

[0063] The handle (290E) can be magnetically coupled to the base (2). At least one of the handle (290E) or the base (2) can have a magnet. For example, the magnet (290M) can be coupled to the handle (290E), the magnet (2M) can be coupled to the lower surface of the first portion (21a) of the press portion (21), and a magnetic attraction can act between the magnets (290M, 2M). As another example, a magnetic substance (290M) such as iron (Fe) can be coupled to the handle (290E), and the magnet (2M) can be coupled to the lower surface of the first portion (21a) of the press portion (21), and a magnetic attraction can act between the magnetic substance (290M) and the magnet (2M). As another example, a magnet (290M) can be coupled to a handle (290E), and a magnetic substance (290M) such as iron (Fe) can be coupled to the lower surface of the first part (21a) of the press portion (21), and a magnetic force can act between the magnet (290M) and the magnetic substance (2M).

[0064] The protrusion (23) may be adjacent to one end of the slot (291H) of the extension member (290). By engaging the one end of the slot (291H) with the protrusion (23), the shortening of the length of the extension member (290) may be limited. For example, by engaging the one end of the slot (291H) of the strap (291) of the extension member (290) with the protrusion (23), the shortening of the length of the band (292) may be limited, thereby preventing the strap (291) from moving toward the hole (292H).

[0065]

[0066] Referring to FIGS. 11 and 12, a user can lift the extension member (290) upward by pulling the handle (290E) forming one end of the extension member (290). Correspondingly, the length of the extension member (290) having the other end fixed to the base (2) can be increased, and the other end of the slot (291H) of the extension member (290) can be moved in a direction approaching the protrusion (23). By engaging the other end of the slot (291H) with the protrusion (23), the length of the extension member (290) can be limited. For example, in response to the user's pulling, the length of the band (292) may increase, and the extension of the length of the band (292) may be limited by the other end of the slot (291H) of the strap (291) being caught on the protrusion (23), thereby limiting the movement of the strap (291) away from the hole (292H).

[0067] Accordingly, the user can detach a portion of the pad (9) from the groove (2G) of the base (2) by means of the extension member (290), and then completely separate the pad (9) from the groove (2G) by hand.

[0068] When the user releases the handle (290E), the extension member (290) can return to its original position by its own elastic restoring force (see FIG. 6).

[0069]

[0070] Referring to FIGS. 13 and 14, the ring (290R) can be coupled to the handle (290E) of the extension member (290) and positioned on the first portion (21a) of the press portion (21). For example, the ring (290M) can have a square ring shape. The ring (290R) can include a magnetic substance (290M) such as iron (Fe) and can be magnetically coupled to a magnet (2M) coupled to the lower surface of the first portion (21a). Accordingly, a user can easily hold the ring (290R).

[0071] Alternatively, instead of the ring (290R), a tab (not shown) may be attached to the handle (290E). The tab may protrude upward from the handle (290E). For example, the tab may comprise a fabric material. Accordingly, the user can easily grasp the tab.

[0072]

[0073] Referring to FIGS. 15 and 16, the lift assembly (29') may include a button (290') and a pop-up unit (291'). The button (290') may be provided on the upper surface (2U) of the base (2) and may be pressed by a user. The pop-up unit (291') may be provided in a groove (2G) of the base (2) and may protrude outward from the base (2) or be inserted into the base (2) in response to the operation of the button (290').

[0074] For example, the pop-up unit (291') may include a spring that is vertically expandable. The spring may be compressed by a pad (9) inserted into a groove (2G), and the compressed spring may be caught by a latch provided on the base (2) to maintain the compressed state. When a user presses a button (290'), the latch may be released, and the spring may protrude upward from the base (2) while returning to its original state.

[0075] Accordingly, the user can detach a portion of the pad (9) from the groove (2G) of the base (2) via the aforementioned pop-up mechanism of the lift assembly (29'), and then completely separate the pad (9) from the groove (2G) by hand.

[0076]

[0077] Referring to FIGS. 17 and 18, the lift assembly (29'') may include a lift groove (290''). The lift groove (290'') may be formed on the upper surface (2U) of the base (2). At least a portion of a side of the pad (9) (e.g., the first short side (9Sa)) may be exposed through the lift groove (290''). The lift groove (290'') may have a width and depth sufficiently large to insert a user's finger.

[0078] Accordingly, the user can insert his finger into the lift groove (290'') to detach a portion of the pad (9) from the groove (2G) of the base (2), and then completely separate the pad (9) from the groove (2G) by holding it with his hand.

[0079]

[0080] Referring again to FIG. 5, a PCB (91, Printed Circuit Board) may be mounted inside the pad (9). A connector (92) may be mounted on the PCB (91) and may be exposed to the outside through a lateral side of the pad (9). For example, the connector (92) may be formed on the first long side (9La) of the pad (9). The connector (92) may be referred to as a jack (92, jack) or a port (92, port). A power cable may be connected to the connector (92) of the pad (9) separated from the groove (2G) and may provide power to the pad (9).
