[ detailed description ] embodiments

Fig. 1A is a schematic perspective view of a cat urinating and defecating device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to fig. 1A, the cat urination and defecation device 100 can be used for cat urination and defecation, and includes an inclined sorting member 110 and a supporting portion 120. The diagonal classification member 110 is disposed in the support portion 120, and may be surrounded by the support portion 120. The supporting portion 120 has a supporting surface 122 and a defecation opening 124, and the defecation opening 124 is formed on the supporting surface 122 and exposes the inclined classification member 110. In addition, the supporting portion 120 may further have a retaining wall (ince) 123, and the retaining wall 123 is located around the supporting surface 122 and protrudes from the supporting surface 122.

FIG. 1B is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line 1B-1B in FIG. 1A. Referring to fig. 1A and 1B, the inclined sorting member 110 can sort the excrement into the feces 11 and the urine 12, and has an inclined surface 111 and a plurality of through holes 112. The through holes 112 are formed at the inclined surface 111, and the defecation opening 124 exposes the inclined surface 111 and at least one through hole 112. Taking fig. 1A and 1B as an example, the defecation opening 124 exposes at least two through holes 112.

The support 120 can carry the cat 10 so that the cat 10 can walk, sit or lie on a support surface 122, which support surface 122 can be planar. The diagonal classification member 110 may have a plate shape, and further has an upper end 113a and a lower end 113b opposite to the upper end 113 a. The supporting surface 122 has a first region 122a, a second region 122b, and a pair of side regions 122 c. As shown in fig. 1A, the supporting surface 122 may be annular, and the first region 122a, the second region 122b and the pair of side regions 122c surround the defecation opening 124.

The first region 122a is connected between the pair of side regions 122c, and the second region 122b is located opposite the first region 122 a. The upper end 113a is located between the first region 122a and the lower end 113b, and the lower end 113b is located between the second region 122b and the upper end 113 a. The area of the first region 122a is smaller than the area of the second region 122b, and the area of the first region 122a may also be smaller than the area of one or both of the soles of the cat 10, so that the cat 10 may step on the first region 122a as little as possible. Furthermore, in other embodiments, the supporting surface 122 may not have the first region 122a, i.e., the supporting surface 122 may have a U-shape. Therefore, the shape of the support surface 122 is not necessarily annular.

The cat urinating and defecating device 100 further includes a stool storage 130 and a urine storage 140, and the stool storage 130 and the urine storage 140 are both disposed below the support surface 122. The urine storage 140 is disposed below the slope 111, and in the present embodiment, the urine storage 140 is disposed directly below the inclined classification member 110. The feces storage 130 and the urine storage 140 are containers (containers) for storing the feces 11 and the urine 12, respectively.

The stool-storing portion 130 has a first inlet 132 for the entrance of the stool 11, and the urine-storing portion 140 has a second inlet 142h for the entrance of the urine 12, with the lower end 113b adjoining (adjacent to) the first inlet 132. When the cat 10 is urinated using the cat urinating device 100, the cat 10 may first climb onto the support surface 122 and discharge the excrement directly against the excrement discharge port 124 so that the excrement falls from the excrement discharge port 124 onto the inclined surface 111. Therefore, the cat 10 can use the cat defecation device 100 to urinate without cat litter.

However, when some cats just touch the cat defecation device 100, the cat defecation device 100 will not be urinated due to the absence of cat litter, so the owner can place a container containing cat litter in the defecation port 124 first to train the cat to defecate in the defecation port 124. Thereafter, litter is serially reduced to reduce cat dependence on litter. Finally, all litter is removed, allowing the cat to urinate without litter using the cat urinating device 100. In addition, the retaining wall 123 around the supporting surface 122 can limit the litter within the supporting surface 122, so as to reduce the litter falling from the supporting surface 122, and avoid mess caused by the litter.

The cat 10 will not normally discharge both the feces 11 and urine 12, so the feces 11 or urine 12 will generally be the only feces or urine discharged by the cat 10 at a time. When the feces 11 discharged from the cat 10 fall onto the slope 111, the slope 111 can guide the feces 11 into the feces storage section 130. Generally, the feces 11 discharged from the cat 10 are generally block-shaped and have a low viscosity, so that the feces 11 on the inclined plane 111 are attracted by gravity to move along the inclined plane 111 to the first inlet 132 and enter the feces storage portion 130 from the first inlet 132. In this way, the slope 111 can guide the stool 11 from the first inlet 132 into the stool-storing portion 130.

When urine 12 discharged by the cat 10 falls on the inclined surface 111, the urine 12 flows along the inclined surface 111 into the one or more through holes 112 and flows out of the through holes 112, and the urine receptacle 140 can receive the urine 12 flowing out of the through holes 112. It can be seen that the cat urinating device 100 not only allows the cat 10 to urinate, but also stores the excrement 11 separately from the urine 12 to prevent the excrement 11 from mixing with the urine 12 and to promote the drying of the excrement 11. This facilitates the cleaning of the faeces 11 and urine 12 and reduces the frequency of cleaning of the faeces 11 and urine 12.

The supporting portion 120 further has a guide recess 126 extending from the defecation opening 124 and located above the urine storage portion 140, wherein the inclined classification member 110 is disposed in the guide recess 126. The guide groove 126 has a bottom portion 126b and a drain outlet 126h, wherein the drain outlet 126h is formed in the bottom portion 126 b. As shown in fig. 1B, the bottom 126B and the liquid outlet 126h are both located right below the inclined sorting member 110. The bottom portion 126b has a concave surface 126c, and a liquid discharge port 126h is formed in the concave surface 126 c. Urine 12 flowing from through-hole 112 will fall onto concave surface 126 c.

The urine receptacle 140 includes a box cover 142 and a box body 144. The lid 142 is disposed on the box 144 and has a second inlet 142h aligned with the drain port 126 h. The drain port 126h is located at the lowest position of the concave surface 126c with respect to the second inlet 142 h. Thus, urine 12 can flow into the liquid outlet 126h along the concave surface 126c, and enter the urine storage portion 140 from the liquid outlet 126h through the second inlet 142h, so that the urine storage portion 140 can receive the urine 12 flowing out from the through hole 112.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 1B, urine 12 enters the urine receptacle 140 from the liquid outlet 126h and the second inlet 142h along the concave surface 126c of the bottom 126B, but in other embodiments, the guiding groove 126 may not have the bottom 126B, and the urine receptacle 140 may not include the cover 142, so that the urine 12 flowing out from the through hole 112 directly falls into the box body 144. Therefore, even without the bottom 126b and the cover 142, the urine receptacle 140 can receive the urine 12 flowing out of the through-hole 112.

In addition, the slant sorting member 110 may be detachably (detachably) disposed in the guide groove 126. Taking fig. 1B as an example, the supporting portion 120 further has a stopper (bump) 128a and a supporting protrusion (protrusion) 128B located in the guiding groove 126. The height (level) of the top (top) of the stopper 128a relative to the urine storage 140 is lower than the height of the top of the support projection 128b relative to the urine storage 140.

The stopper 128a protrudes from the concave surface 126c, and the supporting protrusion 128b is formed on and protrudes from a sidewall (sidewall) of the guide groove 126, wherein the supporting protrusion 128b is located opposite to the stopper 128 a. The upper end 113a of the inclined sorting member 110 is disposed on the top of the supporting protrusion 128b, and the lower end 113b abuts against (abutting) the stopper 128 a. Thus, the slant sorting member 110 can be obliquely disposed in the guide groove 126, as shown in fig. 1B.

In particular, although the inclined sorting member 110 in fig. 1B is disposed in the guiding groove 126 by using the stop 128a and the supporting protrusion 128B, in other embodiments, even without the supporting protrusion 128B, the inclined sorting member 110 may lean against (lean) a side wall opposite to the stop 128a, so that the inclined sorting member 110 can be disposed in the guiding groove 126 in an inclined manner.

In addition, the slant sorting member 110 may be disposed in the guiding groove 126 by other means. For example, the slant sorting member 110 may be obliquely disposed in the guide groove 126 by using a screw lock (screwing) or an adhesive (adhering). Therefore, even if the supporting portion 120 in fig. 1B does not have the stopper 128a and the supporting protrusion 128B, the inclined classification member 110 can be disposed in the guiding groove 126 in an inclined manner in other ways. The supporting portion 120 and the inclined classification member 110 may be formed of the same material by the same manufacturing method (process). For example, the supporting portion 120 and the inclined sorting member 110 may be formed by the same injection molding, the same three-dimensional printing, or the same forging (casting). Alternatively, the supporting portion 120 and the slant sorting member 110 may be formed by machining or clamping a same block, wherein the block may be metal, wood or plastic.

Fig. 1C is a schematic top view of the diagonal sorting member of fig. 1A. Referring to fig. 1C, the inclined sorting member 110 further has a pair of inclined sides (inclined edges) 113C opposite to each other, an upper edge E1 near the upper end 113a and a lower edge E2 near the lower end 113b, wherein the upper edge E1 and the lower edge E2 are connected to the pair of inclined sides 113C. The pattern (shaped) formed on the inclined surface 111 by each through hole 112 is closed (closed), so that the edge and wall (sidewall) of each through hole 112 is not connected to any of the inclined side 113c, the upper edge E1, and the lower edge E2 s.

FIG. 1D is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line 1D-1D in FIG. 1C. Referring to fig. 1C and 1D, each through hole 112 is shaped like a bar, and each through hole 112 extends along a direction from one of the inclined sides 113C to the other inclined side 113C. Therefore, the orientation (extension direction) of each through hole 112 on the inclined surface 111 is not parallel to the pair of inclined sides 113 c.

Each through-hole 112 has a first beveled edge (measured edge) 112b and a second beveled edge (exposed edge) 112f, wherein the second beveled edge 112f faces the first beveled edge 112 b. For example, the first beveled edge 112b may be substantially parallel to the second beveled edge 112f such that the through-hole 112 may have a uniform aperture. In addition, the first and second

inclined edges

112b and 112f, which are substantially parallel to each other, may be perpendicular to a horizontal plane (not shown). In the same through-hole 112, the height (level) of the first inclined edge 112b with respect to the lower end 113b is higher than the height of the second inclined edge 112f with respect to the lower end 113 b.

The inclined sorting member 110 further has a bottom surface 114, a first included angle a1 and a second included angle a 2. The bottom surface 114 is opposite to the inclined surface 111. The first included angle a1 is located between the inclined surface 111 and the first inclined edge 112b, and the second included angle a2 is located between the inclined surface 111 and the second inclined edge 112f, wherein the first included angle a1 is greater than the second included angle a 2. The first beveled edge 112b can direct the flow of urine 12 such that urine 12 on the beveled surface 111 can follow the first beveled edge 112b to assist the flow of urine 12 out of the through-hole 112. Additionally, it should be noted that in other embodiments, the first included angle A1 may not be greater than the second included angle A2. For example, the first included angle a1 and the second included angle a2 may both be substantially right angles. Thus, the first included angle A1 and the second included angle A2 shown in FIG. 1D are for illustration only.

Referring to fig. 1A and 1B, the cat urinating device 100 may further include a housing 150. The support 120 is fixed to the housing 150. For example, the support 120 may be fixed to the housing 150 by gluing, nailing (nailing) or interference fit (interference fit). The supporting portion 120 may be detachably mounted on the housing 150. For example, the supporting portion 120 may be mounted on the housing 150 by screw-locking, transition fitting (transition fitting) or clearance fitting (clearance fitting), wherein the supporting portion 120 and the inclined classification element 110 may be formed by the same material and through the same manufacturing method. The support portion 120 and the housing 150 may be formed of the same material by the same manufacturing method (process). For example, the supporting portion 120 and the housing 150 may be formed by the same injection molding, the same three-dimensional printing, or the same forging (casting). Alternatively, the supporting portion 120 and the housing 150 may be formed by machining or clamping a same block of material, such as metal, wood or plastic.

The housing 150 has a tread (tread) 152 that is exposed (profiling) alongside the support 120. Tread 152 may be stepped on by cat 10 to facilitate climbing of cat 10 onto support surface 122, particularly to assist smaller cats (e.g., kittens) in climbing support surface 122. The feces storage part 130 and the urine storage part 140 are both disposed in the casing 150. Therefore, even after the cat 10 urinates using the cat urination device 100, the feces 11 and urine 12 are stored in the case 150. In addition, in order to attenuate the odor (yellow odor) generated from the feces 11 and urine 12, an odor inhibitor (air fresher) may be placed in the housing 150, and the odor inhibitor may be camphor ball (camphor) or floral water (florida water).

Fig. 1E is a partial schematic view of the cat urinating device of fig. 1A. Referring to fig. 1A, 1B and 1E, the stool and

urine containers

130 and 140 can be detachably mounted (assembling) in the housing 150. Taking fig. 1E as an example, the feces storage 130 and the urine storage 140 may be two drawers (drawers), respectively. In addition, the housing 150 further has a first flat side 153a and a second flat side 153b, wherein the first flat side 153a and the second flat side 153b are not coplanar, and the stool storage portion 130 and the urine storage portion 140 are respectively exposed on the first flat side 153a and the second flat side 153 b.

The stool-containing portion 130 may have a first light-transmitting window (first light-transmitting window) 136, and the urine-containing portion 140 may have a second light-transmitting window 144w, wherein the first light-transmitting window 136 and the second light-transmitting window 144w are exposed at an outer surface of the housing 150. Taking fig. 1A as an example, the first light-transmitting window 136 and the second light-transmitting window 144w are respectively exposed at the first flat side 153a and the second flat side 153 b. The first light-transmitting window 136 and the second light-transmitting window 144w may be made of glass or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).

The first and second light-

transmissive windows

136 and 144w may be transparent (translucent) or translucent (translucent). When the first transparent window 136 and the second transparent window 144w are semitransparent, the first transparent window 136 and the second transparent window 144w can only allow visible light (visible light) in a specific wavelength range to pass through, for example, only allow red light or green light to pass through. Therefore, the translucent first transparent window 136 and the second transparent window 144w can display a specific color, such as red or green.

Since the first transparent window 136 and the second transparent window 144w can be transparent or translucent, the first transparent window 136 and the second transparent window 144w can show the interior of both the feces storage portion 130 and the urine storage portion 140. Thus, the owner can confirm whether the excrement 11 is in the excrement storage 130 through the first light-transmitting window 136 and whether the urine 12 is in the urine storage 140 through the second light-transmitting window 144w without opening the excrement storage 130 and the urine storage 140. In addition, in the urine storage 140 shown in fig. 1E, the box body 144 has a second light-transmitting window 144w, and the box cover 142 may further have an exhaust hole 143 p.

FIG. 1F is a partial schematic view of the support portion of FIG. 1A at its bowel outlet. Referring to fig. 1A, 1B and 1F, the guiding groove 126 further has a pair of first side walls SW1 and a pair of second side walls SW2 facing each other, wherein the first side walls SW1 and the second side walls SW2 both extend from the defecation outlet 124 toward the bottom 126B. In addition, the supporting portion 120 may further have a pair of oblique sides (chamfer) 125, and each oblique side 125 is formed between the supporting surface 122 and one of the first side walls SW1, as shown in fig. 1A and 1F.

The diagonal sorting member 110 is positioned between the pair of first sidewalls SW1, and the second sidewall SW2 connects the pair of first sidewalls SW1 and faces the inclined surface 111. The guide groove 126 also has an opening H1 formed between the second side wall SW2 and the bottom 126 b. The opening H1 communicates with the first inlet 132, and the lower end 113b of the diagonal classification member 110 is disposed at the opening H1. Thus, the stool 11 moving along the inclined surface 111 enters the stool-storing portion 130 through the opening H1 and the first inlet 132.

The cat toilet device 100 may also include a spray assembly 160. The spray assembly 160 includes a nozzle 162 and a pump 164. The nozzle 162 is disposed under the supporting surface 122 and exposed from the second side wall SW2, but does not protrude from the second side wall SW 2. The nozzle 162 is inclined toward the bottom 126b and aligned with the inclined surface 111. The pump 164 is connected to the nozzle 162 and disposed in the housing 150. The pump 164 can deliver a cleaning fluid, such as water or a solution containing a deodorant and/or germicide, to the nozzle 162 so that the nozzle 162 sprays the cleaning fluid onto the inclined surface 111 to clean the inclined surface 111 and the guide groove 126.

In addition, the spraying unit 160 may be an ultrasonic sprayer, so that the nozzle 162 sprays a relatively fine bead to prevent excessive cleaning liquid from depositing on the inclined plane 111 and in the guiding groove 126. Thus, it is possible to prevent the guide groove 126 from being excessively wet and the cleaning liquid from flowing into the stool-storing part 130, thereby preventing mosquitoes and flies from being bred.

Referring to fig. 1E and 1F, the spray assembly 160 further includes a reservoir (reservoir) 166 connected to the pump 164. Specifically, the reservoir 166 may be connected to the pump 164 through a pipeline (not shown), wherein the pipeline and the reservoir 166 are disposed in the housing 150. The sump 166 stores the cleaning liquid and supplies the cleaning liquid to the pump 164 so that the nozzle 162 can spray the cleaning liquid. The sump 166 and the portion of the housing 150 surrounding the sump 166 may be transparent or translucent so that the owner can see from outside the housing 150 how much cleaning solution is contained within the sump 166. In addition, the housing 150 or the support portion 120 may further have a liquid injection port (not shown) exposed on an outer surface of the cat toilet device 100 and communicating with the reservoir 166. In this manner, the owner may replenish the cleaning solution in the sump 166 from the pour port.

In the embodiment of fig. 1E, the sump 166 is disposed within the housing 150, but in other embodiments, the sump 166 may be disposed outside of the housing 150 to facilitate replenishment of the cleaning solution by the owner or replacement of the sump 166. In addition, the spray assembly 160 may not include the reservoir 166. For example, the nozzle 162 may spray tap water, and the pump 164 may be connected via a line to a tap water supply (supply), such as a faucet. Therefore, the cleaning liquid sprayed by the nozzle 162 does not have to come from the sump 166.

Fig. 1G is a perspective view of the stool-storing part at the opening of the guide groove in fig. 1B. Referring to fig. 1B and fig. 1G, the supporting portion 120 may further have an extending portion 129 located around the opening H1, wherein the extending portion 129 may be annular, as shown in fig. 1G. The extension portion 129 can be fitted (fit) with the first inlet 132, and the fitting between the extension portion 129 and the first inlet 132 may be transition fit or clearance fit (clearance fit) so that the stool-holding portion 130 is not difficult to be pulled out from the housing 150. Since the extension portion 129 can be engaged with the first inlet 132, the extension portion 129 can protrude into the first inlet 132. This ensures that the feces 11 passing through the opening H1 enter the feces storage section 130, and reduces the odor leakage (leakage) generated from the feces 11.

Fig. 1H is a block diagram of the cat urinating device of fig. 1B, wherein fig. 1H shows the electronic circuit of the cat urinating device 100. Referring to fig. 1E and fig. 1H, the cat urinating and defecating device 100 may further include a control unit 171 disposed in the supporting portion 120, as shown in fig. 1E. However, the control unit 171 may be disposed in the housing 150. Therefore, the control unit 171 is not limited to be disposed only in the support portion 120. In addition, the control unit 171 may be a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), a Microcontroller (MCU), a Microprocessor (μ P), or a Programmable Logic Device (PLD).

Referring to fig. 1B and fig. 1H, the control unit 171 is electrically connected to the pump 164 to control the nozzle 162 to spray the cleaning liquid. For example, the control unit 171 may have a timer (not shown), and the control unit 171 may control the pump 164 by using the timer to command the nozzle 162 to spray the cleaning liquid at intervals (e.g., eight hours or twelve hours) to help the cat wetting apparatus 100 maintain cleanness.

In addition, the control unit 171 may also have a clock (clock) which can know the current time at any time. The control unit 171 may control the pump 164 by using a clock to command the nozzle 162 to spray the cleaning liquid for a fixed period of time. For example, the control unit 171 commands the spray nozzles 162 to spray cleaning liquid five am each day. Alternatively, the control unit 171 commands the spray nozzles 162 to spray cleaning solution four am every monday, three am and five am.

The cat urinal 100 may further include a control interface (control panel) 172 exposed on an outer surface of the cat urinal 100. For example, the control interface 172 may be exposed at the junction (junction) between the supporting portion 120 and the housing 150, as shown in fig. 1E. However, in other embodiments, the control interface 172 may be exposed only on the outer surface of one of the supporting portion 120 and the housing 150.

The control interface 172 can display the status of the cat urinating device 100. For example, the control interface 172 may include at least one indicator Light 172i, which may be a Light Emitting Diode (LED), and the indicator Light 172i can indicate whether the cat toilet apparatus 100 is in a power-on state or a power-off state. The control interface 172 has an operation function. For example, the control interface 172 may also include at least one button 172b for turning the cat toilet device 100 on and off.

Although the control interface 172 shown in fig. 1E includes an indicator light 172i and a button 172b, in other embodiments, the control interface 172 may be another type of Human-Machine interface (HMI), such as a touch screen (touch screen). Therefore, the control interface 172 is not limited to only including the indicator lamp 172i and the button 172 b.

Fig. 2A is a schematic perspective view of a cat urination and defecation device according to another embodiment of the invention, and fig. 2B is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the line 2B-2B in fig. 2A. Referring to fig. 2A and 2B, the

cat urinating device

200 and 100 shown in fig. 2A and 2B is similar. For example, the cat toilet apparatus 200 also includes an inclined sorting member 210, a support part 220, a stool storage part 230, a urine storage part 240, a housing 250, a spray assembly 160, a control unit 171, and a control interface 272. The following mainly describes the differences between the

cat toilet apparatuses

200 and 100, and the same features of the two are not repeated in principle. In addition, for simplicity, some components that are similar in construction and identical in function will be referred to by the same reference numerals.

Referring to fig. 2A and 2B, unlike the inclined sorting member 110, the cat toilet device 200 includes an inclined sorting member 210 having only one through hole 112, and the through hole 112 is close to the lower end 213B of the inclined sorting member 210 but far from the upper end 213a of the inclined sorting member 210. Please refer to fig. 2C, which is a perspective view of the inclined sorting unit 210 in fig. 2A. In the diagonal sorting member 210, a distance between the through hole 112 and the upper end 213a is a first distance D1, and a distance between the through hole 112 and the lower end 213b is a second distance D2. The first distance D1 is greater than the second distance D2, and the ratio of the first distance D1 to the second distance D2 is greater than or equal to 2, so that the through hole 112 is close to the lower end 213B, as shown in fig. 2B and 2C.

Although the diagonal sorting member 210 has only one through hole 112, the diagonal sorting member 210 can sort the excreta of the cat 10 into the feces 11 and the urine 12. In detail, when the cat 10 discharges the feces 11 or the urine 12, both the feces 11 and the urine 12 move along the inclined surface 211 of the inclined sorting member 210. However, urine 12 still flows from the through hole 112 to the urine storage 240, and feces 11 move along the slope 211 and enter the feces storage 230. In this way, the feces 11 and urine 12 are stored separately.

In addition, the upper end 213a of the inclined sorting member 210 shown in fig. 2B and 2C is also different from the upper end 113a of the inclined sorting member 110. Specifically, in the diagonal sorting member 210, the upper end 213a is a fixed end, and the upper end 213a has a sheet shape (sheet). The upper end 213a may be fixed to the supporting portion 220 by a screw lock, an adhesive, or a snap (buckling). Since the upper end 213a is fixed to the supporting portion 220, the diagonal sorting member 210 can be fixed to the supporting portion 220 even without the stopper 228a and the supporting protrusion 128 b. Unlike the stopper 128a shown in fig. 1B, the stopper 228a in fig. 2B has a guiding slope (enclosed guiding surface) S1, and the guiding slope S1 is aligned with the slope 211 (flush with) to help guide the feces 11 on the slope 211 into the feces storage portion 230.

Referring to fig. 2A and 2B, the supporting portion 220 also has a defecation opening 124 and a guiding groove 226. The guide groove 226 also has a pair of first side walls SW3 facing each other and a bottom 126 b. However, the first sidewall SW1 of fig. 1A is flat, whereas the first sidewall SW3 of fig. 2A is not flat. Specifically, the guide groove 226 further has a plurality of guide stripes 226g formed on the pair of first side walls SW3, and the guide stripes 226g extend from the defecation outlet 124 toward the bottom 126 b. In addition, the guiding strips 226g may be all ridges or grooves (grooves). Alternatively, one of the guide stripes 226g is a ridge and the other guide stripe 226g is a valley.

When the nozzle 162 sprays the cleaning liquid against the inclined surface 211, the guide stripes 226g can converge the sprayed cleaning liquid and guide the cleaning liquid to flow toward the bottom 126 b. Thus, the cleaning liquid sprayed from the nozzle 162 can be prevented from flowing into the excrement storage part 230 by helping the cleaning liquid flowing into the urine storage part 240, so that the excrement 11 in the excrement storage part 230 can be kept dry, and the maggots are not easily grown in the excrement 11.

Fig. 2D is a partial schematic view of the cat urinating device of fig. 2A. Referring to fig. 2A, 2B and 2D, the stool and

urine containers

230 and 240 may be connected to each other to form a drawer that can be installed in the housing 250, wherein the stool and

urine containers

230 and 240 are arranged along the direction M1 in which the drawer is movable in the housing 250. As seen in fig. 2A and 2D, the stool container 230 is located on the outside of the drawer, and the urine container 240 is located on the inside of the drawer. When the drawer is folded in the housing 250, the housing 250 exposes the feces storage part 230 and hides the urine storage part 240, as shown in fig. 2A.

Particularly, the urine receptacle 240 shown in fig. 2B and 2D has the second inlet 242h for the urine 12 to enter, but unlike the urine receptacle 140 (see fig. 1E), the urine receptacle 240 may not have the vent 143p, and both

urine receptacles

140 and 240 do not necessarily have the vent 143 p.

Fig. 2E is a block diagram of the cat urinating device of fig. 2A. Referring to fig. 2A, 2B and 2E, the cat urinating and defecating device 200 includes not only the control unit 171 and the control interface 272, but also a detector 281. The control interface 272 may be a touch screen, and the basic functions of the control interface 272 are the same as those of the control interface 172, so the description is omitted. The detector 281 can detect whether the cat 10 is on the supporting surface 222 of the supporting portion 220. When the detector 281 detects that the cat 10 is out of the cat wetting device 200 after the detection of the completion of the wetting on the supporting surface 222, the control unit 171 activates the pump 164 to make the nozzle 162 eject the cleaning liquid from the liquid storage tank 166 disposed in the housing 250.

The detector 281 is a pressure sensor (pressure sensor), which may have a plurality of membrane switches (thin-film switches) or a plurality of push-button switches. Alternatively, the pressure sensor may be a product of the Leyong globes technologies Inc. (Uneo Inc.), and may be disposed on the support surface 222. The support surface 222 may be a concave curved surface. The detector 281 is able to sense the pressure exerted by the cat 10 on the support surface 222 against the detector 281 and is able to sense and monitor (monitoring) the area of the support surface 222 pressed by the cat 10, thereby detecting whether the cat 10 is walking on the support surface 222 or lying prone.

The control unit 171 can know the area of the support surface 222 pressed by the cat 10 from the detector 281 to determine whether the cat 10 leaves the cat defecation device 200. When the cat urinating and defecating device 200 detects that the cat 10 leaves the cat urinating and defecating device 200 through the detector 281 (pressure sensor), the control unit 171 activates the pump 164 to make the nozzle 162 eject the cleaning liquid, so as to clean the inclined sorting member 210 and the guide groove 226.

The cat toilet apparatus 200 further includes a plurality of touch sensors 273, and the touch sensors 273 are disposed on an outer surface of the cat toilet apparatus 200. Taking fig. 2A as an example, the touch pressure sensors 273 are disposed on the housing 250 and the supporting portion 220. These touch pressure sensors 273 can be the same as the detectors 281, and are all pressure sensors. The touch pressure sensor 273 can sense whether the cat 10 touches the outer surface of the cat toilet apparatus 200. When the touch pressure sensor 273 detects that the outer surface of the cat wetting apparatus 200 is touched by the cat 10, the control unit 171 stops the operation of the pump 164 to stop the spraying of the cleaning liquid by the spraying unit 160 performing the cleaning operation, so as to prevent the cat 10 from being sprayed with the cleaning liquid by the spraying unit 160.

Although fig. 2A depicts multiple tactile pressure sensors 273, in other embodiments, the cat toilet device 200 may include only one tactile pressure sensor 273. Thus, the number of tactile pressure sensors 273 shown in fig. 2A is for illustration only, and does not limit the cat toilet apparatus 200 to include a plurality of tactile pressure sensors 273. The touch sensor 273 may be a sensor other than a pressure sensor, for example, an infrared proximity sensor (infrared proximity sensor). Therefore, the touch sensor 273 is not necessarily the same as the detector 281.

Referring to fig. 2B, 2D and 2E, in addition to the touch pressure sensor 273, the cat toilet apparatus 200 further includes one or more weight sensors 282. The weight sensor 282 is electrically connected to the control unit 171 and is controlled by the control unit 171. The weight sensor 282 is disposed at least at one of the bottom of the stool container 230 and the bottom of the urine container 240. Taking fig. 2B as an example, the weight sensor 282 is disposed at the bottom of both the stool container 230 and the urine container 240. That is, the stool portion 230 and the urine portion 240 are disposed on the same weight sensor 282.

The weight sensor 282 is capable of sensing and monitoring the weight change of both the stool container 230 and the urine container 240, thereby determining whether the cat 10 actually discharges the stool 11 or the urine 12. In addition, the weight sensor 282 may be a pressure sensor and may be the same as the detector 281. When the detector 281 detects that the cat 10 moves away from the supporting surface 222 and the weight sensor 282 detects an increase in the weight of the stool container 230 or an increase in the weight of the urine container 240, the control unit 171 activates the pump 164 to make the nozzle 162 spray the cleaning liquid, thereby cleaning the inclined sorting member 210 and the guide groove 226.

Although the number of weight sensors 282 shown in FIG. 2B is only one, in other embodiments, the number of weight sensors 282 may be at least two. One of the weight sensors 282 is located at the bottom of the stool container 230, and the other weight sensor 282 is located at the bottom of the urine container 240. In addition, the weight sensor 282 may be made of piezoelectric material (piezoelectric materials), and may be different from the detector 281.

Referring to fig. 2B and 2E, the cat urinating and defecating device 200 may further include a temperature sensor 284a disposed in the urine storage 240 and electrically connected to the control unit 171. The temperature sensor 284a is, for example, an electronic thermometer, and measures the temperature inside the urine storage section 240. Since the temperature of the urine 12 just discharged by the cat 10 is usually higher than the room temperature, the control unit 171 can judge that the cat 10 urinates according to the temperature rise measured by the temperature sensor 284 a. When the detector 281 detects that the cat 10 is away from the supporting surface 222 and the temperature sensor 284a detects the temperature of the urine storage part 240 rises, it indicates that the cat 10 urinates using the cat urinating device 200. At this time, the control unit 171 activates the pump 164 to make the nozzle 162 spray the cleaning liquid to clean the inclined sorting member 210 and the guiding groove 226.

In addition, the cat urinating and defecating device 200 may further include a liquid level sensor (liquid level sensor) 284 b. The liquid level detector 284b is electrically connected to the control unit 171 and disposed in the urine storage portion 240. The level detector 284b can sense the level (liquid level) of the urine 12 in the urine receptacle 240, and can be an existing level detector, such as a float-type level detector, an electrode-type level detector, or an ultrasonic level detector.

When the level detector 284b detects that the level of the urine 12 in the urine storage portion 240 exceeds a standard level, the control unit 171 will make the control interface 272 generate a warning message, such as a flashing picture generated by a touch screen or a sound generated by a buzzer, so as to warn the owner that the urine 12 in the urine storage portion 240 exceeds the standard, and the urine storage portion 240 needs to be cleaned, so as to prevent the urine 12 in the urine storage portion 240 or odor generated by the urine 12 from leaking.

In addition, referring to fig. 2B, the cat urinating device 200 may include a pair of electrical connecting parts (292 a and 292B). The electrical connection portion 292a is fixed inside the housing 250 and electrically connected to the control unit 171. The electrical connection portion 292b is fixed in the urine storage portion 240 and electrically connects the temperature sensor 284a and the liquid level detector 284 b. When the urine receptacle 240 is installed in the housing 250, the pair of

electrical connectors

292a and 292b are electrically connected to each other, so that the control unit 171 can electrically connect the temperature sensor 284a and the liquid level detector 284b through the pair of

electrical connectors

292a and 292 b.

Taking fig. 2B as an example, the electrical connections 292a and 292B are one or more metal sheets, respectively. The electrical connection portion 292b is fixed to the rear side of the urine storage portion 240, and the electrical connection portion 292a is fixed to an inner wall surface (inner wall) of the housing 250. When the urine storage portion 240 is inserted and set in the housing 250, the electrical connection portion 292a touches the electrical connection portion 292b, so that the

electrical connection portions

292a and 292b are electrically connected to each other. Thus, the pair of

electrical connectors

292a and 292b enables the control unit 171 to electrically connect the temperature sensor 284a and the liquid level detector 284b, so that the control unit 171 can control the temperature sensor 284a and the liquid level detector 284 b.

In particular, the contact pressure sensor 273, the weight sensor 282, the temperature sensor 284a, the liquid level detector 284b and the

electrical connections

292a and 292b of the cat urinating and defecating device 200 can also be applied to the cat urinating and defecating device 100. Specifically, the touch sensor 273 may be disposed on the outer surface of the cat toilet device 100, and the weight sensor 282 may be disposed on at least one of the bottom of the stool storage 130 and the bottom of the urine storage 140. The temperature sensor 284a, the level detector 284b and the electrical connector 292b may also be disposed in the urine receptacle 140, and the electrical connector 292a may be disposed in the housing 150. Further, the control interface 172 of the cat toilet apparatus 100 may be replaced with the control interface 272.

Fig. 3A is a schematic perspective view of a cat urination and defecation device according to another embodiment of the invention, and fig. 3B is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along the line 3B-3B in fig. 3A. Referring to fig. 3A and 3B, the cat urination and defecation device 300 shown in fig. 3A and 3B is similar to the cat urination and defecation device 200, and the cat urination and defecation device 300 also includes an inclined classification member 310, a support portion 220, a stool storage portion 230, a urine storage portion 240, a housing 250, a spraying assembly 160, a control unit 171, a control interface 272, a detector 381, a touch pressure sensor 273, a weight sensor 282, a temperature sensor 284a, a liquid level detector 284B and electrical connection portions 292a and 292B.

In addition, similar to the above-mentioned cat urinating and defecating device 200, the control unit 171 is also electrically connected to the spraying assembly 160, the control interface 272, the detector 381, the touch pressure sensor 273, the weight sensor 282, the temperature sensor 284a and the liquid level detector 284b (as shown in fig. 2E), wherein the control unit 171 is also electrically connected to the temperature sensor 284a and the liquid level detector 284b through the

electrical connectors

292a and 292 b.

Hereinafter, differences between the cat toilet device 300 and the cat toilet device 200 will be mainly described, and the same features will not be described repeatedly in principle. In addition, for simplicity, in the

cat toilet devices

100, 200 and 300, some components having similar construction and the same function will be designated by the same symbols.

Unlike the

cat toilet devices

100 and 200 described above, the cat toilet device 300 may further include a leveling assembly 390 disposed at the bottom of the housing 250. The level adjustment assembly 390 may adjust the level (level) so that the cat toilet apparatus 300 may be at a horizontal level (horizontal level). In addition, in order to check whether the cat defecation device 300 is in a horizontal plane, the cat defecation device 300 may further include a level (not shown) disposed on the support part 220 or the housing 250.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 3B, the leveling assembly 390 may include four leveling screws (level adjusting screws) 394. However, in other embodiments, the leveling assembly 390 may include only three leveling screws 394. These horizontal adjustment screws 394 are all disposed at the bottom of the housing 250 and support the housing 250. The length of these level adjustment screws 394 can be varied by screw rotation to adjust the level of the cat toilet device 300.

In addition, the slant sorting member 310 in the present embodiment is different from the slant sorting member 210 in the previous embodiment. In detail, the inclined sorting member 310 includes not only the through hole 112, but also a plurality of through holes 312 and a plurality of grooves (trenches) 316. Although the inclined sorting member 310 in fig. 3A has two grooves 316, the inclined sorting member 310 may have only one, three or more grooves 316.

Referring to fig. 3A, 3C and 3D, the inclined sorting member 310 has an inclined surface 311, an upper end 213A and a lower end 213b opposite to the upper end 213A, and the through holes 312 and the grooves 316 are formed on the inclined surface 311. These grooves 316 extend in a direction from the upper end 213a toward the lower end 213 b. At least one trench 316 may extend along a reference line (e.g., line 3D-3D in fig. 3C) that passes through the plurality of

vias

312 and 112. In addition, the depth of the one or more grooves 316 may be smaller than the depth of the through

holes

312 and 112, so the grooves 316 outside the through

holes

312 and 112 are not formed through the inclined sorting member 310.

Referring to fig. 3C and fig. 3D, the through holes 312 are arranged in an array and have the same orientation, but the orientation of the through holes 312 may be different from the orientation of the through holes 112, as shown in fig. 3C. However, in other embodiments, at least two of the vias 312 may have different orientations. Alternatively, the orientation of the vias 312 and the orientation of the vias 112 may be the same as one another. The cross-sectional structure of the via 312 is the same as that of the via 112, and both are described in the foregoing description of fig. 1C and 1D, and therefore, the description thereof is not repeated.

Referring to fig. 3A and 3B, in the cat urinating device 300, the detector 381 can detect whether the cat 10 is on the supporting surface 222. When the detector 381 detects that the cat 10 is away from the cat defecation device 300 after the defecation on the supporting surface 222, the control unit 171 activates the pump 164 to make the nozzle 162 eject the cleaning liquid.

However, unlike the detector 281, the detector 381 shown in fig. 3A and 3B is an infrared sensor, such as an infrared proximity sensor or an infrared image sensor (infrared image sensor). The infrared image sensor may determine whether the cat 10 is urinating or defecating on the support surface 222 using image processing methods, which may include object recognition algorithms (object recognition). Therefore, unlike detector 281 which uses pressure sensing, detector 381 uses infrared light to detect whether cat 10 is on support surface 222. In addition, the detector 381 can also be applied to the cat urinating device 200, and the detector 281 of the cat urinating device 200 can also be replaced by the detector 381.

The cat urinal 300 further includes a sensor 384 electrically connected to the control unit 171 and disposed in the stool storage 230. The sensor 384 can determine whether the cat 10 on the support surface 222 is actually excreting feces 11, wherein the sensor 384 can be a vibration sensor or a sound sensor, such as a sonic transducer. In the case where the sensor 384 is a vibration sensor, when the detector 381 detects that the cat 10 is separated from the supporting surface 222 and the sensor 384 detects that the stool-containing portion 230 is vibrated, the control unit 171 activates the pump 164 to make the nozzle 162 eject the cleaning liquid.

In the case where the sensor 384 is an acoustic sensor, when the detector 381 detects that the cat 10 is away from the supporting surface 222 and the sensor 384 detects the sound generated by the stool 11 hitting the stool-containing portion 230, the control unit 171 activates the pump 164 to make the nozzle 162 eject the cleaning liquid. Further, in the present embodiment, the sensor 384 may be a shock sensor or a sound sensor, i.e., the cat toilet device 300 includes a shock sensor or a sound sensor. However, in other embodiments, the cat toilet device 300 may also include a shock sensor as well as a sound sensor. Therefore, the cat toilet device 300 is not limited to include only one of a vibration sensor and a sound sensor.

The cat urinating and defecating device 300 may further include a smell detector 386 electrically connected to the control unit 171 and installed in the supporting portion 220. The odor detector 386 can detect odors of both the stool container 230 and the urine container 240. When the odor detector 386 detects that the odor of the feces storage portion 230 and the odor of the urine storage portion 240 exceed the predetermined concentration, the control unit 171 will make the control interface 272 generate a warning message, such as a flashing image generated by a touch screen or a sound generated by a buzzer, and activate the pump 164 to make the nozzle 162 eject the cleaning solution. However, in other embodiments, the control unit 171 may only generate the reminder message, but not activate the pump 164. Alternatively, the control unit 171 may only activate the pump 164, but not generate the reminder message.

In particular, the leveling unit 390 may be disposed at the bottom of the casing 150 of the cat toilet device 100, and the sensor 384 may be disposed at the stool storage portion 130 of the cat toilet device 100 or the stool storage portion 230 of the cat toilet device 200. Therefore, the leveling assembly 390 and the sensor 384 can be applied to the

cat toilet devices

100 and 200, but not limited to the cat toilet device 300.

In addition to the above-mentioned

slant sorting members

110, 210, and 310, the above-mentioned

cat toilet apparatuses

100, 200, and 300 may also adopt various slant sorting members, as shown in fig. 4 to 6. These diagonal sorting members will be described below with reference to fig. 4 to 6. In addition, the functions of the slant sorting members shown in fig. 4 to 6 are the same as those of the

slant sorting members

110, 210 and 310, and the structures of the slant sorting members are similar to those of the

slant sorting members

110, 210 and 310. Therefore, the differences between these oblique classifiers and the aforementioned oblique classifiers will be mainly described below, and the same features will not be repeated in principle.

Referring to fig. 4, the inclined sorting member 410 has a plurality of through holes 412, an upper end 413a and a lower end 413b, and each of the through holes 412 is in the shape of a strip. However, unlike the orientation of the through

holes

112 or 312, the through holes 412 extend along a direction from the upper end 413a to the lower end 413b, and the through holes 412 are parallel to each other and may be substantially parallel to the inclined side 413c of the inclined sorting member 410. In addition, in the embodiment shown in fig. 4, the inclined sorting member 410 has six through holes 412, but in other embodiments, the number of the through holes 412 of the inclined sorting member 410 may be two or more.

Referring to fig. 5, the slant sorting unit 510 is similar to the slant sorting unit 310 in fig. 3C. For example, the inclined sorting member 510 also has through

holes

312 and 112, and the distribution (range) and direction of the through

holes

312 and 112 are the same as those of the inclined sorting member 310. However, unlike the diagonal sorting member 310, the diagonal sorting member 510 further has a pair of side plates 516, and the pair of side plates 516 are juxtaposed and face each other. The inclined surface 211 of the inclined sorting member 510 is located between the pair of side plates 516, and the pair of side plates 516 both extend from the inclined surface 211, wherein the side plates 516 are not coplanar with the inclined surface 211 (noncopolanar). In addition, in the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the inclined sorting member 510 does not have the groove 316, but in other embodiments, the inclined sorting member 510 may also have the groove 316, as shown in fig. 3C.

Referring to fig. 6, the inclined sorting

members

110, 210, 310, 410 and 510 are all flat plates and the

inclined surfaces

111, 211 and 311 are all flat surfaces, but the inclined sorting member 610 shown in fig. 6s is wavy plate shaped and the inclined surface 611 is a curved surface (e.g. wavy surface) rather than a flat surface. In addition, the inclined sorting member 610 has a plurality of through holes with different shapes, such as a plurality of through

holes

412, 312, and 412s, wherein the through holes 312 are located between the through

holes

412 and 412 s. The vias 412s run the same as the vias 412, but the length of the vias 412s is less than the length of the vias 412.

It should be noted that, although the shapes of the inclined sorting

members

110, 210, 310 and 410 are all flat plates in the foregoing embodiments, in other embodiments, the shapes of the inclined sorting

members

110, 210, 310 and 410 may also be wavy plates. In addition, although the distribution and shape of the through holes of the oblique sorting member are shown in the drawings, in other embodiments not shown in the drawings, the oblique sorting member may have a distribution and shape different from those of the through holes shown in the drawings. Therefore, the distribution and shape of the vias shown in all the figures are for illustration only.

In conclusion, the cat defecation device can be used for the defecation of cats. Even more, the cat urinating device can make the cat urinate without cat litter to save the money spent using cat litter. In addition, the cat defecation device can also store excrement and urine separately so as to avoid the mixture of the excrement and the urine and promote the excrement to keep dry and not easy to grow maggots, thereby reducing the influence on environmental sanitation.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to particular embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form, construction, features and quantities may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
