Abstract
In recent years, the number of people owning pets has been increasing. Currently, many zoonotic diseases exist, and zoonotic infections can be contracted from pets. Since one of the routes of infection has been confirmed to be through excrement, we have developed a device that automatically folds pet sheets. This system consists of seven servomotors. The system folds the pet sheets along the creases and disposes of them in the trash. First, the left and right sides of the pet sheet are folded, then the top and bottom are folded. Finally, the pet sheet is carried to the trash can for disposal. This allows pet owners to dispose of their waste without touching the pet sheets, thus preventing zoonotic diseases. We conducted an experiment on the disposal of pet sheets containing urine and feces and found that the success rate was 100%.
Highlights
In 2020, WHO declared COVID-19 pandemic and the number of infected and dead is increasing every day [1]
Human beings have been fighting against various infectious diseases, including SARS and Ebola, and there are more than 200 types of infectious diseases known by the WHO [2]∼[4]
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare recommends that excretion be disposed of promptly [7]
Summary
In 2020, WHO declared COVID-19 pandemic and the number of infected and dead is increasing every day [1]. Excrement remains unwound until the roll is used, and large excrement cannot be handled, leaving a variety of problems, Such as the lack of excrement within a certain range of the sheet. We developed a system that automatically folds up pet sheets and throws them away when you press the button. The system folds pet sheets one by one and throws them away in the trash can, so once excreted, they can be disposed of in the trash can without remaining. Since it is folded like a human being and disposed of, it can be disposed of wherever it is excreted
