The present invention is an automatic self-cleaning animal litter apparatus using a hopper/spout assembly and conveyer belt mechanism. The litter apparatus includes a conveyer belt that is controlled using a sensor and controller. The hopper stores fresh litter to be deposited onto the conveyer belt. The spout assembly provides thickness and location control of the fresh litter deposited onto the conveyer belt. A conveyer belt cleaning device underneath the conveyer belt mechanism rids the conveyer belt of the used litter and feces which are then dropped into the receptacle.

An excrement collection device includes a casing having a bottom wall, two opposing first outer sidewalls, and a second outer sidewall connecting the first outer sidewalls; a receiving space defined by the bottom wall, the first outer sidewalls, and the second outer sidewall and divided into a temporary storage region and a collection region, with the temporary storage region disposed between the second outer sidewall and the collection region; a cleansing component disposed in the temporary storage region; and a support component disposed at the top of the temporary storage region and having rotatable support boards. Excrement left behind at home by pets because of defecation and urination is gathered in the collection region to thereby spare pet keepers the hassles of frequent cleansing, prevent exposure of the excrement to air for a long period of time, and preclude a foul-smelling odor otherwise lingering at home.

A waste cartridge in combination with a waste machine or apparatus that maintains waste pads for a pet owner, automatically or manually by removing and sealing soiled pads and waste and then replacing the soiled pad with a clean pad on a pet bed of the machine. The apparatus senses when a pet is using a waste pad portion and when the pet is finished, the machine takes up the soiled portion of the pad and removes and seals the soiled portion of the pad roll and the waste automatically, moving the pad into a repository for later removal and disposal of the waste cartridge when the pad roll is used up and then replacing removed pad with a new waste cartridge. The waste cartridge is comprised of a pad roll and a take-up rod attached to one end of the pad by any means such as a clip, slot or adhesive on the take-up rod. A pair of end caps on opposing ends of the take-up rod that includes a gear for attachment to a removable drive module may also be included or left off if the rod or core is directly connected to the drive module.

A machine or apparatus to capture dog urine and solid waste for generally indoor use by a dog owner that automatically or manually advances fresh pads on a predetermined programming of the machine by the control module or by using markings or shadings on a roll of pet waste material.

The present invention relates to a pet defecation apparatus and, more particularly, to a pet defecation apparatus which enables a series of processes for pet excretion disposal using a defecation pad, such as rolling up and packing the defecation pad to which excretion is added, and collecting and moving the defecation pad to a designated position, to be easily performed by means of automation.

A method for pet waste removal. The method includes installing a pad on a surface of a platform and receiving pet waste on the pad. A portion of the pad receiving the pet waste defines a soiled portion of the pad. The method includes capturing one or more images of the pad. The one or more captured images are compared to a reference image. Based on the one or more captured images being compared to the reference image, a type of pet waste is detected on the pad on the soiled portion of the pad or an amount of pet waste is detected on the soiled portion of the pad.

A pet excrement collecting device capable of closing an excrement collecting bag, comprising a device body and a garbage collecting box. The garbage collecting box comprises a guide rail, a fixed pressing rod, a movable pressing rod, and at least one elastic buckle. An elastic rod is further provided in the device body, such that when the garbage collecting box is inserted into the device body, the elastic rod pushes the elastic buckle, the movable pressing rod can translate on the guide rail, and the movable pressing rod is buckled on the device body; when the garbage collecting box is extracted from the device body, the movable pressing rod can translate toward the fixed pressing rod on the guide rail; and when the garbage collecting box is taken out, the excrement collecting bag is in a fully closed state.

Disclosed is a toilet for pet dogs. The toilet for pet dogs according to the present invention comprises: a bottom unit having a receiving space; an isolation container unit inserted in the receiving space; a conveyor unit which is installed on the top of the bottom unit, the conveyor unit comprising a net-type belt, a driving roller and a driven roller on which the net-type belt is wound, and a cleaning roller for cleaning the net-type belt; and a top unit comprising a cleaning chamber cover positioned at the top of the cleaning roller, a nozzle installed at the ceiling of the cleaning chamber cover, and a fan for forcible drying. According to the present invention, it is possible to automatically clean the toilet for pet dogs more cleanly, and effectively prevent propagation of germs or generation of odor. Also, it is possible to assemble the toilet for pet dogs more firmly. In addition, it is possible to further facilitate disassembly and assembly of the toilet for pet dogs and tension-control of the net-type belt.

A pet waste disposal apparatus having an open top container, a sloping floor surface, an outlet drain, a pair of space apart support bars located within and connecting the side walls of the container, a walking board supported on the support bars, a first roller located between the first end of the walking board and a second roller located between the second end of the walking board, a waste inlet located between the first roller and the first end of the container, a rotating belt having an artificial turf exterior surface and tensioned mounted to the rollers, an electrically driven cover plate moveable between a closed and opened position, a spray cleaning system located within the container for cleaning the rotating belt of wastes and directing pet wastes out of the container and a motor for powering rollers, the cover plate, and the spray cleaning system.
