  An embodiment of the present invention which is considered to be suitable will be briefly described with reference to the drawings showing the operation of the present invention.

  The pet C rides on the excretion part 6 of the box-like body 1 and excretes it. Feces are placed on the sand material 20, and urine passes through the sand material 20 and the mesh bottom 3 a and falls on the rice husk charcoal S of the urine receiving bag 5 provided in the urine receiving container 4. The urine penetrates immediately and accumulates at the bottom of the urine receiving bag body 5.

  The present inventor has confirmed that there is almost no ammonia odor from the urine receiving body 4 immediately after the pet C actually urinates.

  This is due to the odor adsorption effect of rice husk charcoal S. Moreover, in the urine, the ammonia odor becomes stronger with the passage of time (the urea in the urine is produced into ammonia by the urease (enzyme)), and the urine falling on the rice husk charcoal S is between the rice husk charcoal S. It is considered that the upper layer portion of the rice husk charcoal S has already become a so-called lid and suppresses the diffusion of the ammonia odor when the ammonia odor becomes stronger by passing immediately through the urine receiving bag body 5.

  Further, when urine falling from the mesh bottom 3a adheres to the exposed inner surface of the urine receiving bag 5 before reaching the rice husk charcoal S and is left as it is, the odor of ammonia diffuses from the attached urine. In this respect, according to the present invention, since the upper opening 4a of the urine receiving body 4 is set to an opening area wider than the mesh hole forming region M of the mesh bottom 3a in plan view, the falling urine has a urine receiving bag body. 5 is prevented as much as possible from adhering to the exposed inner surface.

  Further, according to the present invention, a first ventilation hole portion 7 for ventilating the inside and the outside of the box-like body 1 is provided at the lower part of the box-like body 1. A second ventilation hole 8 for ventilating the inside and the outside of the body 1 is provided, and the pet C (cat) is placed in the box-like body 1 when the urine of the pet C falls below the box-like body 1. ) Urine temperature is as high as 37.0 to 38.9 degrees on average, and a temperature difference ventilation updraft due to the temperature difference between the urine temperature and the room air is generated, and the first vent hole provided in the lower part of the box-shaped body 1 7 functions as an air intake hole, and air outside the box-shaped body 1 is sucked. On the other hand, the second vent hole portion 8 provided on the upper portion of the box-shaped body 1 functions as an exhaust hole. The internal air is exhausted.

  Accordingly, a temperature difference between the inside and the outside of the box-shaped body 1 is unlikely to occur, and the inside of the box-shaped body 1 becomes an environment where evaporation of urine is suppressed, so that urine may adhere to the inner surface of the box-shaped body 1. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the ammonia odor from remaining in the box-shaped body 1 as much as possible.
