托盤30，係將通過網格狀區域之孔h、h...的尿貯留於托盤30內。藉由在托盤30內的吸收體載置部32載置吸收薄片(吸收材料)，可確實地將尿予以吸收、保持，故可防止尿漏出至托盤30之外。且，於吸收體載置部32，不僅是吸收薄片，亦可使用紙漿纖維或木材、高吸收性聚合物等之吸收材料，亦可不使用吸收材料。
The
於托盤30的底面，形成有朝下方突出，且沿著前後方向的底突起部33。底突起部33的底面，係將托盤30的負重(以下，將托盤30、尿或吸收材料的重量，合稱為「托盤30的負重」)施加於下容器40之托盤支撐
部48(後述)的部分。

圖4A為下容器40的俯視圖，圖4B為下容器40的仰視圖，圖4C為下容器40的前視圖。圖5為圖4A中之D-D剖面圖的中心縱剖面圖。
4A is a top view of the
如圖4A、圖4B及圖4C所示般，下容器40係具有：底部41、前壁部43a、後壁部43b、及左右的各側壁部43c、43d。
As shown in FIGS. 4A, 4B, and 4C, the
如圖4A所示般，底部41的上表面係具有：貫通上下方向而形成之大致矩形的開口部42、在開口部42的周圍朝上方突出的突出部50、以及在突出部50的左右方向外側比突出部50還高地突出，且沿著前後方向設置的導引突部45。
As shown in FIG. 4A, the upper surface of the
如圖4B所示般，底部41的底面係具有：開口部42、與上表面的突出部50對應之凹陷的突出部50b。且，於底部41的底面，設有沿著前後方向的縱肋部51、以及沿著左右方向的橫肋部52。且，包圍突出部50b周圍之形狀的周肋部53，係朝下方突出而形成，該周肋部53的一部分，係成為縱肋部51及橫肋部52。
As shown in FIG. 4B, the bottom surface of the
如圖4C所示般，前壁部43a係具有：朝前後方向貫通而形成之橫長形狀的托盤***部44、在托盤***部44的上方朝前後方向凹陷的上側凹部54、以及在托盤***部44的下方朝前後方向凹陷的下側凹部55。
As shown in FIG. 4C, the
左右的各側壁部43c、43d，係由彎曲的曲面所形成，為從下方朝向上方擴張的形狀(參照圖4C)。
The left and right
後壁部43b，係由與側壁部43c、43d同樣地彎曲的曲面所形成，且在下容器40的內側具有朝前方突出的2個停止構件46。
The
此外，前壁部43a、後壁部43b、及左右的各側壁部43c、43d的上端，係形成有將下容器40之上方的外緣予以包圍一周之形狀的外緣框49。
In addition, at the upper ends of the
針對具有上述般構造之下容器的優點，以下進行詳細說明。 The advantages of the container having the above-mentioned structure will be described in detail below.
如圖4A及圖5所示般，底部41之上表面的突出部50，係具有大致矩形的外緣，為朝上方突出的區域，且包圍開口部42的周圍。且，與突出部50對應之底面的突出部50b，係對應於突出部50的突出，而成為朝上方凹陷的形狀。藉由設置突出部50及突出部50b，可提昇底部50的強度。
As shown in FIGS. 4A and 5, the protruding
如圖4A及圖5所示般，底部41的2個導引突部45，係在突出部50的左右方向外側形成為大致平行。此時，導引突部45之上方向的高度，係比突出部50的高度還高。在將托盤30從托盤***部44***時，托盤30，係一邊被2個導引突部45限制左右方向的移動，一邊可在2個導引突部45之間往前後方向移動。2個導引突部45，係用來抑制托盤30從導引突部45往外側的移動。且，2個導引突部45間之左右方向的距離，係設定
成比托盤30之左右方向的長度還長。因此，從托盤***部44所***的托盤30，可在下容器40內滑順地移動。圖3C，係表示將托盤30***至下容器40之左右方向中央時的狀態。
As shown in FIGS. 4A and 5, the two
如圖4B及圖5所示般，底部41之底面的縱肋部51，係朝下方突出的突部。縱肋部51，係設在突出部50b之外側的肋部，為沿著前後方向形成且靠左右方向外側的凸形狀。且，縱肋部51之前後方向的長度，係與托盤支撐部48(後述)之前後方向的長度幾乎相同長度。
As shown in FIGS. 4B and 5, the
如圖4B所示般，底面的橫肋部52，係設在前方及後方，與縱肋部51同樣為朝下方突出的突部，且突出與縱肋部51相同的高度。橫肋部52之左右方向的長度，係與開口部42之左右方向的長度幾乎相同，橫肋部52係靠前後方向外側的凸形狀。前方的橫肋部52，係形成在開口部42與托盤***部44之間。由於在前壁部43a形成有托盤***部44，故有著強度比其他部分還差之虞，但藉由在開口部42與托盤***部44之間形成橫肋部52，可提高下容器40的補強效果，可減少下容器40的變形。且，有鑑於係透過托盤***部44進行托盤30的***及抽出，故抑制前壁部43a之變形的必要性非常高。
As shown in FIG. 4B, the
且，如前述般，周肋部53的一部分係成為縱肋部51及橫肋部52，故周肋部53的突出高度，係與縱肋部51和橫肋部52相同。
In addition, as described above, a part of the
圖6為對下容器40的底面進行說明的圖。圖6的斜線區域，係表示下容器40之底面的平面部P。在沒有設置包含縱肋部51及橫肋部52之周肋部53的情況，該平面部P係與動物用便器1的設置面接觸。亦即，藉由設置包含縱肋部51及橫肋部52的周肋部53，可使下容器40的平面部P不與動物用便器1的設置面接觸。
FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the bottom surface of the
且，平面部P之左右方向的邊緣，係靠外側為凸形狀。此外，縱肋部51亦沿著平面部P的邊緣形成於平面部P，且與平面部P同樣地係靠外側為凸形狀。此時，縱肋部51，係形成在比平面部P的邊緣還靠內側。如此一來，可使動物用便器1更加穩定。且，橫肋部52、周肋部53亦可為沿著平面部P的形狀。
In addition, the left-right edge of the plane portion P has a convex shape on the outer side. In addition, the
如圖4C及圖5所示般，前壁部43a的托盤***部44，係於下容器40的左右方向中央，為了將托盤30從前方***而貫通前後方向來形成。托盤***部44之左右方向的長度，及上下方向的高度，係形成為比托盤30的大小還要稍大，而不會對托盤30的***及抽出產生阻礙。
As shown in FIGS. 4C and 5, the
如圖4C及圖5所示般，上側凹部54，係在下容器40的左右方向中央，且在托盤***部44的上方，朝前後方向凹陷的部分。上側凹部54，在沿著前後方向從前方觀看的情況，成為如同將橢圓形切半的形狀。於前後方向凹陷的區域，係形成為曲面。藉由設置上述般的上側凹部54，可提昇下容器40的補強效果。且，在作業者
抽出托盤30時，作業者可從把手部31的上方將手伸入，可提昇作業效率。
As shown in FIGS. 4C and 5, the upper
如圖4B及圖5所示般，下側凹部55，係在下容器40的左右方向中央，且在托盤***部44的下方，朝前後方向凹陷的部分。下側凹部55的凹陷區域，係形成為大致平面。將下側凹部55之位在最後方的部分作為下側凹部的後端55b。此時，如圖4B所示般，貫通形成有托盤***部44的部分，係比下側凹部55的後端55b還要於前後方向形成在更前方。
As shown in FIGS. 4B and 5, the lower
藉此，可提昇下容器40的補強效果。
Thereby, the reinforcing effect of the
且，在下容器40之托盤***部44的上方，於上側凹部54之下端之左右方向的兩側，沿著前後方向設有頂壁56a、56b。頂壁56a之左右方向的距離，係從上側凹部54的左端部到托盤***部44的左側端部為止的長度，頂壁56b之左右方向的距離，係從上側凹部54的右端部到托盤***部44的右側端部為止的長度。頂壁56a、56b的上表面及下表面，係與動物用便器1的設置面大致平行，且具有平坦的面。藉由具有頂壁56a、56b，可提高下容器40的補強效果，特別是可減少前壁部43a的變形。
Further, above the
此時，上側凹部54的後端之上側凹部54於前後方向最凹陷的部分，係設在比頂壁56a、56b的後端還要前方(圖4A)。藉此，可更進一步提高下容器40的補強效果。
At this time, the portion of the upper
如圖4A及圖5所示般，後壁部43b的停止構件46，係在左右方向設置在2個導引突部45之間。停止構件46，係在上下方向中，比突出部50還要高，且比突出部50與托盤30之上下方向的高度總和還要低。在***托盤30，且托盤30的後端與停止構件46接觸時，停止構件46係抑制托盤30往更後方的移動。其結果，可將托盤30收納在下容器40內的正確位置。
As shown in FIGS. 4A and 5, the
以下，針對從上容器20及托盤30對下容器40所施加的負重進行說明。
Hereinafter, the load applied to the
圖7為圖3C的左半部擴大圖。如圖3及圖7所示般，上容器20與托盤30，係沒有接觸，故可防止上容器20的負重與托盤30的負重施加於下容器40的同個部分所導致之下容器40的變形等。
7 is an enlarged view of the left half of FIG. 3C. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 7, the
如圖3B、圖3C、及圖7所示般，下容器40支撐上容器20，且上容器20的負重係從上容器負重部24施加於上容器支撐部47。上容器支撐部47，係下容器40之外緣框49的上表面，為平坦的面。上容器支撐部47，係遍及下容器40之上方的外緣一周，而與上容器負重部24接觸，來支撐上容器20的負重。
As shown in FIGS. 3B, 3C, and 7, the
下容器40，亦支撐托盤30。托盤30的負重，係從底突起部33的底面施加於托盤支撐部48。且，用來支撐托盤30的托盤支撐部48，係使突出部50與底突起部33接觸的部分，為圖4A的虛線區域。
The
此時，如圖7所示般，在左右方向中，縱肋
部51係設在上容器支撐部47與托盤支撐部48之間。
且，圖3C，係圖3A的B-B剖面圖，且為前後方向之中央位置的剖面圖，縱肋部51，係在左右方向設在導引突部45的外側。
At this time, as shown in FIG. 7, in the left-right direction, the longitudinal ribs
The
且，該上容器支撐部47、托盤支撐部48、縱肋部51之間的位置關係，係即使托盤30在2個導引突部45間於左右方向移動的情況亦相同。圖8A為托盤30靠最左邊之狀態之中心橫剖面圖的左半部擴大圖，圖8B為托盤30靠最右邊之狀態之中心橫剖面圖的左半部擴大圖。
In addition, the positional relationship between the upper
如圖8A所示般，在托盤30靠最左邊的狀態，托盤30的左側端部係與左側導引突部45接觸的狀態。此時，縱肋部51係在左右方向中，設在上容器支撐部47與托盤支撐部48之間。
As shown in FIG. 8A, in the state where the
同樣地，如圖8B所示般，在托盤30靠最右邊的狀態，托盤30的右側端部係與右側的導引突部45接觸。此時縱肋部51亦在左右方向中，設在上容器支撐部47與托盤支撐部48之間。
Similarly, as shown in FIG. 8B, in the state where the
由於成為上述般的構造，在左右方向上，即使是托盤30往左右方向移動的情況，亦可抑制因上容器20的負重及托盤30的負重所致之下容器40的變形。
Due to the above-described structure, even if the
即使，例如在托盤30往左右方向移動的狀態中，縱肋部51配置在比上容器支撐部47及托盤支撐部48還要內側之構造的情況，會對以縱肋部51為基準之左
右方向的外側施加上容器20的負重及托盤30的負重。
Even if, for example, in a state where the
相對於此，根據本實施形態的構造，即使是在托盤30於左右方向移動的狀態中，會對以縱肋部51為基準之左右方向的兩側分配施加上容器20的負重及托盤30的負重，而抑制下容器40的變形。
In contrast, according to the structure of the present embodiment, even in the state where the
且，針對縱肋部51之左右方向的位置，使用圖3A中之B-B剖面圖的中心橫剖面圖進行了說明，但並不限於B-B剖面，縱肋部51，即使是在托盤30靠最左邊或右邊的狀態中，亦在左右方向上被設在上容器支撐部47與托盤支撐部48之間。例如，針對圖3A中的E-E剖面或F-F剖面也一樣，在托盤30位在左右方向中央的狀態、以及托盤30靠最左邊或右邊的狀態中，縱肋部51係被設置在上容器支撐部47與托盤支撐部48之間。
Furthermore, the position of the
此外，如圖3C所示般，在前後方向之中央位置的剖面(圖3A的B-B剖面)中，縱肋部51係於左右方向形成於導引突部45的外側。藉此，相較於使縱肋部51設在比導引突部45靠左右方向的內側或相同位置的情況，可抑制因上容器20的負重及托盤30的負重所致之下容器40的變形。
In addition, as shown in FIG. 3C, in the cross section at the center position in the front-rear direction (B-B cross section in FIG. 3A ), the
作為外罩10、上容器20、托盤30、及下容器40的素材例，可舉出聚乙烯(PE)、聚丙烯(PP)、及聚對苯二甲酸乙二酯(PET)等之聚烯烴系的熱可塑性樹脂，但並不限定於此。例如，亦可為該等以外的樹脂、或不鏽鋼或鋁等之金屬。
