藉由本說明書及添附圖式的記載至少可清楚得知以下的事項。 At least the following items can be clearly understood from the description in this specification and the attached drawings.
可清楚得知動物用便器,係具備前後方向、左右方向、及高度方向,並且具有:具備用以供動物出入的開口部之外罩、設有供尿液通過的複數個孔之上容器、 及下容器,前述上容器的緣部係位在前述下容器的緣部上,前述外罩的緣部係位在比前述上容器的前述緣部更靠外側,在比前述上容器的前述緣部更靠下方處於前述外罩的前述緣部設置有孔,在比前述上容器的前述緣部更靠下方處於前述下容器設置有插入至前述孔的凸部,前述凸部在前述左右方向係朝比前述上容器更靠外側突出。藉此會變得容易從外部辨視前述外罩與前述下容器之嵌合狀態。 It can be clearly seen that the animal toilet is provided with a front-back direction, a left-right direction, and a height direction, and has: an outer cover for opening and exiting the animal, and a plurality of holes above the container for passing urine, And the lower container, the edge of the upper container is positioned on the edge of the lower container, the edge of the outer cover is positioned on the outer side of the edge of the upper container, and the edge of the upper container The edge of the outer cover is provided with a hole further below, and the lower container is provided with a convex portion inserted into the hole below the edge of the upper container, the convex portion is oriented in the left-right direction The aforementioned upper container protrudes further outward. This makes it easier to visually recognize the fitted state of the outer cover and the lower container from the outside.
所揭示之動物用便器中,在前述前後方向的設置有前述凸部的位置上,前述上容器的前述左右方向的長度係比前述下容器的前述左右方向的長度更小為佳。藉此,在將前述外罩卸下時,能夠抑制前述外罩的前述緣部會勾掛在前述上容器的前述緣部之情事。 In the disclosed toilet for animals, it is preferable that the length of the upper container in the left-right direction is smaller than the length of the lower container in the left-right direction at the position where the convex portion is provided in the front-rear direction. Thereby, when the outer cover is detached, it is possible to prevent the edge of the outer cover from being caught on the edge of the upper container.
所揭示之動物用便器中,在前述前後方向的設置有前述凸部的位置上,於前述上容器的前述緣部設置有缺口部為佳。藉此,由於能夠將手指等勾掛在前述缺口部,所以會變得容易將前述上容器從前述下容器卸下。 In the disclosed toilet for animals, it is preferable that a notch is provided at the edge of the upper container at the position where the convex portion is provided in the front-rear direction. Thereby, since it is possible to hook a finger or the like in the notch, it becomes easy to detach the upper container from the lower container.
所揭示之動物用便器中,前述凸部在前述左右方向係從前述下容器的前述緣部朝外側突出為佳。藉此,組裝前述外罩時,會變得容易確認前述凸部的位置並且也會變得更加容易辨視前述外罩與前述下容器之嵌合狀態。 In the disclosed toilet for animals, it is preferable that the convex portion protrudes outward from the edge of the lower container in the left-right direction. Thereby, when assembling the outer cover, it becomes easier to confirm the position of the convex portion and it becomes easier to recognize the fitted state of the outer cover and the lower container.
所揭示之動物用便器中,前述凸部的剖面形狀係橢圓,並且前述橢圓的前述前後方向的大小係比前述橢圓的前述高度方向的大小更大為佳。藉此,由於在握持 嵌合部分朝上方向上舉時,力量更加集中的前述凸部之前述前後方向的區域會增加,所以能夠抑制前述凸部會從前述孔脫落之情事。 In the disclosed toilet for animals, the cross-sectional shape of the convex portion is an ellipse, and the size of the ellipse in the front-rear direction is preferably larger than the size of the ellipse in the height direction. With this, since holding When the fitting portion is lifted upward, the area of the front-rear direction of the convex portion where the force is more concentrated increases, so that the convex portion can be prevented from falling out of the hole.
所揭示之動物用便器中,前述橢圓的上部之曲率係比前述橢圓的下部之曲率更大為佳。藉此,在前述橢圓的前述下部與前述外罩的接觸區域會變廣,而能夠均勻地承受在握持嵌合部分朝上方向上舉時所施加的力量。 In the disclosed toilet for animals, the curvature of the upper part of the ellipse is preferably greater than the curvature of the lower part of the ellipse. As a result, the area of contact between the lower portion of the ellipse and the outer cover becomes wider, and the force applied when the grip fitting portion is lifted upward can be evenly received.
所揭示之動物用便器中,前述孔係與缺口相連接為佳。藉此,在將前述凸部插入至前述孔時,由於前述孔會變得容易產生撓曲,所以容易將前述凸部插入至前述孔。 In the disclosed toilet for animals, it is preferable that the aforementioned hole system is connected to the notch. Thereby, when the convex portion is inserted into the hole, the hole easily bends, so the convex portion is easily inserted into the hole.
所揭示之動物用便器中,前述缺口係設置在前述孔的上部,而前述缺口的上端係位在比前述上容器的前述緣部更靠下方為佳。藉此,在將前述外罩與前述下容器嵌合後的狀態下,朝左右方向觀看前述一對的缺口之情況時,由於經由前述一對的缺口會看不見前述上容器,所以會變得更加容易得知前述孔與前述凸部之嵌合狀態。 In the disclosed toilet for animals, the notch is provided at the upper part of the hole, and the upper end of the notch is preferably located below the edge of the upper container. As a result, when the outer cover and the lower container are fitted together, when the pair of notches are viewed in the left-right direction, the upper container cannot be seen through the pair of notches, so it becomes more It is easy to know the fitting state of the hole and the convex portion.
所揭示之動物用便器中,在將前述凸部插入至前述孔的狀態下,前述凸部的輪廓會顯示動物的臉的輪廓,並且一對前述缺口會顯示前述動物的耳朵為佳。藉此,由於藉由動物的形狀能夠辨視前述孔與前述凸部的嵌合狀態,所以會變得更加容易確認前述外罩與前述下容器之嵌合狀態。 In the disclosed toilet for animals, in a state where the convex portion is inserted into the hole, the outline of the convex portion shows the outline of the animal's face, and the pair of the notches show the ears of the animal. By this, since the fitting state of the hole and the convex portion can be recognized by the shape of the animal, it becomes easier to confirm the fitting state of the outer cover and the lower container.
本發明的實施方式所揭示之動物用便器,係例如供被飼養在室內的貓等的動物進行使用者。本說明書中的「動物」係指貓、狗、兔子、倉鼠等的所謂寵物也包含老虎、獅子的幼兒等。 The toilet for animals disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention is intended for users such as cats kept indoors. The "animal" in this manual means that pets such as cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, etc. also include tigers, lions, and the like.
例如,作為動物為貓的情況時之動物用便器的使用方法係如下所述。貓會進入動物用便器內,從被稱為例如貓砂或砂粒等的排洩物處理材料上進行排尿或排便。之後,貓會利用腳捉取排洩物處理材料來隱藏排洩物。飼主等會將被排洩物污染的部分之排洩物處理材料與排洩物一起從動物用便器內清除,並且只補充清除掉的量之新的排洩物處理材料。 For example, how to use the toilet for animals when the animal is a cat is as follows. Cats will enter animal toilets and urinate or defecate from excrement disposal materials called cat litter or grit. After that, the cat will use its feet to catch the excrement disposal materials to hide the excreta. The feeder etc. will remove the excrement disposal materials contaminated with excreta together with the excreta from the animal toilet, and supplement only the removed amount of new excreta disposal materials.

外罩4與下容器5之嵌合係藉由將在左右方向位在比上容器2的緣部24更靠外側的下容器5側的凸部532插入至設置於位在比上容器2的緣部24更靠外側的外罩4之緣部45(外罩側嵌合部451)的孔46來進行。並且,孔46及凸部532係設置比上容器2的緣部24更靠下方。藉此,會變得容易從外部辨識外罩4與下容器5之嵌合狀態,而能夠避免會將呈未完全的嵌合狀態之動物用便器1上舉之問題。
The fitting of the
另外,藉由從左右方向內側將設置在下容器5的緣部53之凸部532插入至設置於在左右方向位在比上容器2的緣部24更靠外側的外罩4之緣部451的孔46,
來使外罩4與下容器5嵌合。藉此,如同在外罩4側設置有例如朝內側突出的爪等的情況,能夠避免爪等勾掛在上容器2的緣部24而造成上容器2從下容器5脫落之情事。
In addition, by inserting the
再者,設置有供動物排尿的尿液通過部21之上容器2的緣部24係位在比外罩4的緣部451更靠內側,並且作為與外罩4之嵌合部分的下容器5之凸部532係比上容器2的緣部24更朝外側突出,作為嵌合部分的孔46及凸部532係設置在比上容器2的緣部24更靠下方。藉此,即使動物在靠近上容器2的緣部24的地方排尿的情況下,也能夠減低尿液會經由嵌合部分朝動物用便器1的外部漏出之可能性。
Furthermore, the
本實施方式中,凸部532在左右方向係從下容器5的緣部53朝外側突出。藉此,在將外罩4組裝在上容器2及下容器5時,會變得容易確認凸部532的位置並且也會變得更加容易從外部辨視外罩4與下容器5之嵌合狀態。又,凸部532不一定必須從下容器5的緣部53朝外側突出,只要至少比上容器2更朝外側突出即可。
In this embodiment, the
在前後方向的設置有凸部532的位置上,上容器2的左右方向的長度係比下容器5的左右方向的長度更小。具體而言,如第3B圖所示,上容器2的緣部24的外端係位在僅比下容器5的緣部53的外端更朝左右方向內側靠Gw。本實施方式中,上容器2的緣部24係隨著從下方朝向上方往左右方向內側倒而呈傾斜,並且藉由在設
置有凸部532的位置設置缺口部240,使得在設置有凸部532的位置上,上容器的左右方向的長度會形成為變得比下容器5的左右方向的長度更小。藉此,在將外罩4卸下時,能夠抑制外罩4的緣部45會勾掛在上容器2的緣部24之情事。
At the position where the
另外,藉由形成缺口部240,即使上容器的左右方向的長度在設置有凸部532的位置上沒有形成為變得比下容器5的左右方向的長度更小,也能夠藉由例如變更上容器2的緣部24之朝向左右方向內側的倒角(傾斜)來應對。又,上容器2的左右方向之長度與下容器5的左右方向之長度的關係並不一定限定於上述關係,只要至少上容器2的緣部24位在下容器5的緣部53上即可。
In addition, by forming the
其次,參照第4A圖對下容器5的凸部532之具體的形狀等進行說明。
Next, the specific shape and the like of the
凸部532的剖面形狀係橢圓,並且該橢圓的前後方向的大小W係比高度方向的大小H更大。亦即,凸部532係具有朝前後方向呈細長的橢圓形狀。在此,考量握持嵌合部分(外罩側嵌合部451)朝上方向上舉動物用便器1的情況,力量會更加集中在遍及凸部532的前後方向之部分。因此,藉由將凸部532的前後方向之大小W作成較大會增加承受力量的區域,所以能夠抑制凸部532會從孔46脫落之情事。
The cross-sectional shape of the
再者,該橢圓(凸部532)的上部532a的曲率係比下部532b的曲率更大。亦即,下部532b相較於上部532a更平坦,換句話說,上部532a相較於下部532b係形成為圓弧狀。因此,由於在握持嵌合部分(外罩側嵌合部451)朝上方向上舉動物用便器1的情況,力量更加集中的下部532b的曲率會比上部532a的曲率更小,所以下部532b的與外罩4之接觸區域會變廣而能夠均勻地承受力量。
Furthermore, the curvature of the
又,凸部532的形狀不一定必須限定於此,只要是能夠插入設置在外罩側嵌合部451的孔46之形狀,並且具有能夠維持外罩4與下容器5之嵌合狀態的形狀即可。
In addition, the shape of the
其次,參照第4A圖及第4B圖對外罩4的孔46之具體的形狀等進行說明。
Next, the specific shape and the like of the
孔46係如第4A圖所示,與一對的缺口47相連接。藉此,在將凸部532插入至孔46時,由於孔46會變得容易產生撓曲,所以會變得容易將凸部532插入至孔46。另外,缺口47不一定必須是一對,只要是至少與1個缺口47相連接,並且在將凸部532插入至孔46時會使孔46變得容易產生撓曲即可。又,孔46不一定必須與缺口47相連接,只要是在外罩4設置有至少能夠供凸部532插入的孔46即可。
As shown in FIG. 4A, the
本實施方式中,如第4B圖所示,在將凸部532插入至孔46後的狀態下,凸部532的輪廓會顯示貓的臉的輪廓,而設置在孔46的上部之一對的缺口47會顯示貓的耳朵。亦即,藉由外罩4的孔46及一對的缺口47會作成為動物的臉及耳朵,並且將在該處形成動物的臉之凸部532嵌合在孔46。藉此,藉由動物的形狀能夠辨視孔46與凸部532的嵌合狀態,會變得更加容易確認外罩4與下容器5之嵌合狀態。又,當欲確認外罩4與下容器5之嵌合狀態的形狀時不一定必須顯示動物的形狀,只要是看一眼就能確認嵌合狀態的形狀即可。
In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4B, in a state where the
一對的缺口47係如第4B圖所示,其上端47a係位在比上容器2的緣部24更靠下方。因此,在將外罩4與下容器5嵌合後的狀態下,朝左右方向觀看一對缺口47的情況時,由於經由一對缺口47會看不見上容器2,所以會變得更加容易辨識孔46與凸部532之嵌合狀態。本實施方式中,藉由僅使上容器2具有相異的顏色,變得更加容易得知孔46與凸部532之嵌合狀態。又,一對的缺口47的上端47a係並不一定必須位在比上容器2的緣部24更靠下方。
As shown in FIG. 4B, the pair of
