Animal waste collection system
A waste collection system, method, and apparatus comprises a handle assembly comprising a stand tube, a handle, and a controller; and a waste collection assembly comprising a housing, a waste slide container, and a sliding arm bar operably connected to a waste catch with a linear actuator, wherein the waste catch is configured to draw waste into the waste slide container.
1 . A waste collection system comprising:
a shovel housing comprising sides configured to contain waste, and a back opening;
a shovel slide connected to, and forming a bottom of, the shovel housing, the shovel slide configured to rest against the ground;
a waste catch mounted to the shovel housing; and
a motor, and a drivetrain operably connected to a power supply and configured to drive the waste catch through a series of positions.
2 . The waste collection system of claim 1 further comprising:
a handle connected to the shovel housing; and
at least one controller for operating the drive train, wherein the controller is configured on the handle.
3 . The waste collection system of claim 1 further comprising:
at least one wheel configured on the shovel housing, configured to allow the waste collection system to roll.
4 . The waste collection system of claim 1 further comprising:
a light configured on the shovel housing.
5 . The waste collection system of claim 1 further comprising:
at least one door configured on the shovel housing.
6 . The waste collection system of claim 1 wherein the waste catch further comprises:
a plurality of fingers.
7 . The waste collection system of claim 1 further comprising:
at least one speaker on the shovel housing.
8 . The waste collection system of claim 1 further comprising:
a guide arm operably connected to the waste catch, the guide arm configured to guide motion of the waste catch.
9 . The waste collection system of claim 1 wherein the power supply comprises a battery.
10 . The waste collection system of claim 9 further comprising:
A 120 Volt AC charging cable configured to connect to the battery.
11 . A waste collection system comprising:
a handle assembly comprising:
a handle;
a stand tube connected to, and extending from, the handle; and
a controller configured on the handle; and
a waste collection assembly connected to the handle assembly, the waste collection assembly comprising:
a housing connected to the stand tube;
a waste slide container configured inside the housing; and
a sliding arm bar operably connected to a waste catch with a linear actuator, wherein the waste catch is configured to draw waste into the waste slide container.
12 . The waste collection system of claim 11 further comprising:
a printed circuit board configured to control movement of the linear actuator.
13 . The waste collection system of claim 11 further comprising:
a light configured on the housing.
14 . The waste collection system of claim 11 further comprising:
a speaker configured on the housing.
15 . The waste collection system of claim 11 further comprising:
a solenoid operably connected to the sliding arm bar.
16 . The waste collection system of claim 11 further comprising:
a wheels link connecting the waste collection assembly to at least one wheel.
17 . The waste collection system of claim 16 further comprising:
a stepper motor configured to raise and lower the wheels link and the wheels.
18 . The waste collection system of claim 11 further comprising:
a rake joint connecting the sliding arm bar to the waste catch.
19 . A system comprising:
a handle;
a stand tube extending from the handle and connected to a waste collection assembly housing;
a waste slide container configured inside the housing; and
a waste catch operably connected to a linear actuator, the waste catch configured to draw waste into the waste slide container within the housing.
20 . The system of claim 19 further comprising:
a controller;
a printed circuit board in operable communication with the controller and configured to control movement of the waste catch; and
a power source.
