AUTOMATED ANIMAL TOILET AND METHOD OF FILLING ANIMAL TOILET FILLER Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC A01K23/00 A01K1/01 A01K1/35 

FIELD: animal breeding.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to accessories for animal litter with automated removal of animal wastes and methods for automated filling level of animal litter. Automated animal toilet with automated filling of the filler includes a body mounted on legs. Housing has a slope from above on both sides, directed inside the housing, in which there is a table with stiffness ribs at the bottom and attachments from above, which provide gripping the table in the grooves of the housing and preventing the formation of a gap between the table and the housing, removable trays for collecting animal waste products and used filler. At the same time the guiding upper edge of the housing has a corrugated surface with recesses on both sides for the wheel. Toilet includes presence sensors located in the housing on both sides, carriages with horizontal slots and wheels for movement along guides of the housing edges, which are placed on the housing edges. Toilet contains a hopper-cylinder freely placed on the carriage wheels, consisting of two halves, with a slot along the axis of the hopper-cylinder, a compartment for batteries, an electric motor, a printed-circuit board with electronic elements for controlling the device. At the same time shafts are attached to the electric motor on both sides, on the ends of which rollers are rigidly installed, through which the drive belt is thrown, located horizontally, forming a loop on both sides of the housing so that the other end of each loop is put on a freely rotating roller, and the rollers themselves are fixed in the housing. At that, to the lower loop of the belt an angle is attached, which has a rigid connection with the rake installed across the body above the table at a distance above it. Device also includes curtains freely attached to the housing, installed above the trays, rotating relative to the upper axis, wherein rake end faces accommodate horizontal shutter pusher, carriages with rakes and hopper-cylinder displacement transducers.

EFFECT: achieving autonomy when removing animal waste products and regular filling of the animal tray with a filler, increasing the level of sanitation, including elimination of unpleasant odours in the room due to immediate removal and isolation of animal waste products, reduction of power consumption and increase of the device autonomous operation period.
