Description

Toilet plate for pets that can fix the toilet pad}

The present invention relates to a litter board for companion animals capable of fixing a litter pad. More specifically, the present invention relates to a litter board for companion animals that is capable of fixing a litter pad. More specifically, the present invention relates to a litter box for pets that are not adapted to the flat structure of the litter box body having blocks and a toilet channel. It relates to a defecation plate that includes a pad holder for seating a defecation pad that absorbs urine and then urinating through it, while allowing the defecation pad to be stably fixed to the defecation plate main body.

A litter box for pets, especially for dogs, is a structure that provides a toilet space where the dog can come up and defecate, and also places feces at the top and filters or moves urine to the bottom during defecation.

These defecation plates were generally structured to seat feces on the net using a net that was detachable from the main body and to temporarily store urine that fell under the net.

Meanwhile, the applicant's patent, Domestic Patent No. 1675032, includes a litter board for companion animals arranged in a matrix structure, including a plurality of protruding blocks; A toilet path is formed between the blocks and has a width narrower than that of the blocks, and is a space surrounded by the floor surface and the outer wall of the blocks; It consists of a wall formed at a certain height along the perimeter. A structure is proposed in which a companion animal can be seated on the upper surface of the block and the companion animal's excrement can be temporarily stored in the toilet passage.

According to this structure, it is possible to provide convenience of cleaning, transportation, and management compared to existing litter boards, as well as the convenience of reducing manufacturing costs.

However, there may be pets that do not want to climb on the litter tray according to the above-mentioned patent as well as the known litter tray, and even if they do climb on it, they do not feel properly safe due to the foreign body sensation transmitted from the floor by the block of the above-mentioned patent or the net of the known litter tray. There is a possibility that there are companion animals that cannot defecate.

Therefore, toilet training is carried out in parallel by using the toilet pad seated on the toilet board body until the toilet activity can be performed smoothly on the toilet board, but the toilet pad can be firmly and stably fixed in the toilet board body without shaking or unnecessary movement. Of course, the removal of the defecation pad also requires the development of a new and advanced defecation board with a simple structure.

Domestic Patent No. 1675032

The present invention was developed to overcome the problems of the above technology, by placing a urine-absorbing toilet pad on a main body made of a flat structure with a block and a toilet channel, and then allowing the pet to urinate through the toilet pad to adapt the pet to the litter box. The main purpose is to provide a toilet plate including a pad holder that allows the toilet pad to be stably fixed to the toilet plate body while performing toilet training.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a means for conveniently attaching and detaching the pad holder to the main body or identifying urine through the top plate of the pad holder.

Another object of the present invention is to ensure the durability of the top plate while preventing it from being buried or coalesced with protrusions.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a stopper or sub-stopper whose protrusions can be tightly coupled to the defecation passage.

In order to achieve the above object, a litter board for pets capable of fixing a litter pad according to the present invention includes a plurality of blocks protruding in a matrix structure and a litter path formed between the blocks, and surrounding the blocks and the litter path. a main body with walls standing up to form a perimeter; The defecation pad seated on the main body is fixed to the surface of the main body, and is characterized in that it includes a pad fixer including a top plate and a protrusion that extends from the bottom of the top plate and is detachable from the defecation passage.

In addition, the surface of the upper plate is characterized in that a plurality of embossed blocks are formed at regular intervals along the longitudinal direction of the upper plate and protrude toward the top in the opposite direction of the protrusion.

In addition, the surface of the upper plate is characterized in that it is rounded convexly toward the top in the opposite direction of the protrusion and consists of a protruding convex portion, with a coefficient of friction greater than that of the protrusion.

Additionally, the protrusion is formed in plural pieces at regular intervals along the longitudinal direction of the protrusion, and includes stoppers protruding in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the protrusion on both sides of the protrusion. .

According to the litter plate for companion animals capable of fixing the litter pad according to the present invention,

1) It provides an environment where pets that are not accustomed to a flat litter box with a block and a litter box can do bowel movements while feeling comfortable, and the pad holder that secures the litter pad provides a convenient and comfortable environment. It has the advantage of stably fixing the toilet pad to the main body,

2) It can provide a base for conveniently separating the pad holder attached to the toilet.

3) Not only can it effectively prevent the problem of the upper plate adhering to or being buried in the main body as the protrusions are combined with the toilet passage.

4) By providing a variety of detailed means for the protrusion to be closely coupled to the toilet passage, the pad fixture provides the effect of allowing unnecessary fluidity to be more stably fixed in the main body.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. The accompanying drawings are not drawn to scale, and like reference numbers in each drawing refer to like elements.

Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the combined structure of the main body of the present invention and the pad fixer for fixing the defecation pad to the main body.

As can be seen from Figure 1, the toilet plate of the present invention is based on including a main body 10 and a pad fixer 100.

First, the main body 10 is a structure in which the net supporting feces is removed from a known defecation plate, as in Korean Patent No. 1675032, patented by the present applicant, and has an uneven pattern of a matrix structure, that is, a block 12 and a defecation path 13. ) is formed, and then a wall 11 is formed along the circumference to surround the block 12 forming this uneven pattern and the toilet passage 13.

According to this structure, the main body (10) in which the block (12) and the toilet passage (13) are formed as an integrated single unit without the need to individually move the net and the main body (10) or separate the net for cleaning, which is a problem with known defecation plates. ) Not only does it need to be cleaned, but it is also relatively light in weight compared to known litter boards with a net, reduces manufacturing costs, and provides the advantage of being convenient for handling bowel movements.

Figure 2 is a perspective view showing the overall structure of the pad fixture.

As can be seen from Figures 1 and 2, the pad fixer 100 of the present invention provides the function of fixing the defecation pad 20 to the surface of the main body 10 described above.

In other words, there may be a possibility that some pets are not yet accustomed to urinating in the main body 10, so at the beginning of use of the main body 10, the toilet pad 20 is placed on the main body and the pet is allowed to urinate through this. After training the pet to climb on the main body 10, if it gets used to the main body 10 through this training process, the pet can urinate on the main body 10 without the toilet pad 20.

At this time, the defecation pad 20 refers to a known pet pad made of a material capable of absorbing urine and made of various square sizes depending on the size of the pet.

In this way, when the defecation pad 20 is seated on the main body 10, the present invention provides a pad so that the defecation pad 20 can be stably fixed to the main body 10 without moving even when the pet moves up the main body 10. A fixture 100 is provided.

That is, the pad fixer 100 fixes the defecation pad 20 mounted on the main body 10 to the surface of the main body 10, and is formed in the groove structure of the main body 10 while pressing the defecation pad 20. A means for attaching and detaching the toilet passage (13) is provided.

Specifically, the pad holder 100 is based on including a top plate 110 and a protrusion 120.

The top plate 110 not only provides a volume that can be held by the user, but also serves as a support base capable of supporting the projections 120, and the projections 120 have a certain length from the bottom of the top plate, that is, a bowel movement path ( It is a structure that extends to a depth (length) equivalent to or slightly longer than the depth of 13).

That is, when the user places the defecation pad 20 on the main body 10 and then presses the pad holder 100 on one side (the area around the border) of the defecation pad 20 as shown in FIG. 1, the defecation pad 20 As the corresponding part is pressed into the defecation passage 13 of the main body 10 by the protrusion 120, the defecation pad 20 is consequently fixed to the main body 10.

At this time, it is possible to have two pad fixers 100 to fix both sides of the defecation pad 20.

After the pet urinates on the defecation pad (20) stably fixed to the main body (10), the user holds the upper plate (110) and separates the protrusion from the defecation path (13) to collect the defecation pad (20). If urine gets on the body, you can wash the main body and the pad holder (100).

In summary, the litter tray of the present invention provides a main body (10) that provides convenience for cleaning and management compared to known litter trays, and also provides a main body (10) for urine training and adaptation of pets that are not adapted to this main body (10). A pad holder 100 that can stably fix and detach the litter pad 20 is provided at (10), providing a feature that can provide convenience for urine training of a pet.

Figure 3 is a partially enlarged perspective view showing an embossing block formed on the upper plate of the pad fixture.

Referring to FIG. 3, the upper plate 110 of the pad holder 100 has a plurality of embossing blocks 111 protruding upward in the opposite direction of the protrusion 120 at regular intervals along the longitudinal direction of the upper plate 110. It can be seen that this was formed.

This embossing block 111 is a block 12-shaped structure that protrudes not too high from the surface of the top plate 110, and may have rougher characteristics than the surface of the top plate 110 on which no embossing protrusions are formed, thus preventing the user's fingers. It is possible to stably hold the pad holder 100 without slipping the fingers when inserted between the embossing protrusions, and to provide the characteristic of being able to easily separate the pad holder 100 fixed to the main body 10.

That is, if the protrusion 120 of the pad holder 100 is too tightly fixed to the defecation passage 13 or is deeply fixed to the defecation passage 13 in the state of the slippery upper plate 110, the pad holder 100 Since there may be a problem in that it is difficult to separate from the main body 10, a foundation for conveniently supporting the user's fingers on the top plate 110 is provided using an embossing block, thereby attaching the pad holder 100 to the main body 10. It is designed to be easily separated from the .

Furthermore, it is possible for at least one of the plurality of embossing blocks 111 to be coated with a urine detection sheet 112 that discolors when in contact with urine.

The urine detection sheet 112 of the present invention changes color depending on whether or not a pet's urine is detected, that is, it provides a function of changing color when urine is detected.

This urine detection sheet 112 may include an indicator composition capable of detecting moisture or urea in urine, and the type may vary.

For example, the indicator composition may contain components such as a pH indicator that changes color depending on the pH of urine (e.g., phenolphthalein, which changes color to red in response to alkaline urine) and a urease enzyme that changes color in response to urea in urine, and is limited to these. This is not the case, and various known compositions may exist.

In addition, the urine detection sheet 112 is manufactured in the form of a kind of sticker with release paper in a state in which an adhesive is applied, so that the user can periodically remove the used urine detection sheet 112 and then attach it to the embossing block.

This urine detection sheet 112 serves as a kind of indicator that can immediately notify whether a pet's urine is on the pad holder 100.

That is, because urine is generally yellow, the user can sufficiently check with the naked eye whether urine is on the pad holder 100. However, the urine may not be yellow or may not be clearly visible to the naked eye, so urine is detected in this case. Straps can be useful.

Through this urine detection sheet 112, a hygienic environment can be provided in which the user can intuitively check whether urine is on the pad holder 112 and then cover the pad holder 100 with a tissue without directly touching it with their hands. there is.

Figure 4 is a perspective view showing a handle formed on the surface of the top plate of the pad fixture.

Additionally, as can be seen from FIG. 4, in the structure in which the embossing block 111 is formed on the top plate 110, the surface of the top plate 110 has at least one handle 113 protruding upward in the opposite direction to the protrusion 120. It is also possible to form

This handle 113 can be made of various shapes such as a ring, a bar, or a band. In Figure 4, a structure in which a total of two ring-shaped handles 113 are formed on both left and right sides is presented.

That is, when it is confirmed through the urine test sheet that the top plate 110 of the pad fixture is stained with urine, the pad is pulled by the handle 113 protruding from the top plate 110 without directly touching the top plate 110. The convenience of being able to hygienically separate the fixture 100 from the main body 10 can be provided.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, two handles 113 are fixed on both left and right sides so that they can be pulled at the same time, so that when the handle 113 is pulled from either side, the pad holder 100 is easily attached to the main body. In (10), the problem that is not well separated can be solved.

Figure 5 is a perspective view showing the detailed structure of the convex portion and bottom of the pad fixture.

Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, first, the surface of the upper plate 110 is rounded to be convex toward the top in the opposite direction of the protrusion 120 in a state where the friction coefficient is greater than that of the protrusion 120, and the protruding convex portion 114 is formed. ) can be seen to be composed of

This structure allows the user to easily hold the upper plate 110 with the fingers, etc., and the exposed surface of the convex portion 114, i.e., the surface, is roughened by surface scratch treatment or is roughened with a friction coefficient greater than that of the protrusion 120. It is made of material to prevent the user's fingers from slipping.

In addition, the convex portion 114 is rounded and protrudes toward the top in the opposite direction of the protrusion 120, like a dome shape, thereby providing the aforementioned characteristic of enhancing the user's drawing or gripping sensation.

Additionally, by chamfering the corners of the top plate 110, it is possible to prevent safety issues such as scratching or tearing the user's fingers on the corners.

Furthermore, in the structure where the upper plate 110 is formed with the convex portion 114, as can be seen in FIG. 5, the bottom of the upper plate 110 has an indented space formed upwardly corresponding to the convex portion 114, and an indented space. It is possible to include a peripheral portion 116 protruding downward along the perimeter.

According to this top plate structure, it is intended to prevent the problem of the top plate 110 being caught between blocks of the main body 10 or between the toilet passages 13, that is, to correspond to the convex protruding shape of the top plate 110. A hollow, or recessed, space is provided on the bottom of the top plate 110, and then this peripheral portion is protruded downward due to the peripheral portion 116, so that the main body 10 is stably stabilized by the protruding height of the peripheral portion 116. ) can present a structure similar to the one that emerged at the top.

As a result, the main body 10 is subordinated to the protrusion 120 fitted into the toilet passage 13 and is unnecessarily tilted toward the main body 10, thereby preventing the possibility of the pad fixture 100 adhering to the main body 10. Regardless of the depth at which the protrusions 120 are coupled to the toilet passage 13, a stable position of the top plate 110 can be ensured, resulting in a characteristic that enhances the durability of the top plate 110.

Figure 6 is a perspective view showing a stopper formed on the pad fixture.

As can be seen from FIG. 6, the protrusion 120 may include a plurality of stoppers 121 (a total of two in FIG. 6) at regular intervals along its longitudinal direction.

The stopper 121 is a structure that protrudes from both sides of the protrusion 120 in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the protrusion 120. The structure of the stopper 121 and the protrusion are shown to have a cross (+) shape. You can see this by looking at 6.

This stopper 121 functions to provide a physical contact area that can be closely coupled to the defecation passage 13 when the width of the protrusion 120 is slightly narrower than the width of the defecation passage 13 and is loose.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, a total of two stoppers 121 are installed symmetrically on both left and right sides in the entire extension structure of the protrusion 120, thereby preventing the problem of the protrusion being tilted to one side.

Figure 7 is a cross-sectional view showing the detailed structure of the protrusion of the pad fixture and the sub stopper.

Referring to FIG. 7, it can be seen that the protrusion 120 is tapered so that the width becomes narrower as it extends downward.

This is to prevent the problem of the protrusion 120 being unnecessarily stuck inside the defecation passage 13 or not being easily introduced into the defecation passage 13 when the protrusion 120 enters or exits the defecation passage. It can serve as a guide to allow smoother entry/extraction into and out of the furnace 13.

In response to this, at the bottom of the tapered protrusion, it is possible to form a sub stopper 122 that protrudes and extends in a direction perpendicular to the protrusion 120 toward either side of the protrusion 120. do.

In other words, as the protrusion 120 is tapered, its width becomes thinner, so there may be a concern that it may not be tightly coupled to the defecation passage 13. The lower end (end) of this protrusion 120 is vertically bent to form a sub stopper. By forming (122), this sub stopper (122) not only provides a kind of latch-like locking action in the inner space of the toilet passage (13), but also physically complements the volume of the end of the protrusion (120), which has become thinner with a tapered structure. As a result, it can be tightly coupled to the toilet passage 13 to provide a basis for the pad fixture 100 to be stably coupled to the main body 10.

As described so far, the configuration and operation of the litter plate for pets capable of fixing the litter pad 20 according to the present invention are expressed in the description and drawings, but this is only an example and the spirit of the present invention is not limited to this. It is not limited to the above description and drawings, and of course, various changes and modifications are possible without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention.
