1. A urinal for pets, wherein the urinal is mounted flush with the ground or below the ground and comprises:
two concentric tubes, able to slide one with respect to the other, due to the action of a fluid, these being a receiver tube of the pet urine with a smaller diameter and an outer tube with a larger diameter, wherein one of the tubes is moveable between a retracted position and a use position;
a third tube, fixed and internal to the receiver tube of the urine;
a piston, housed in the third fixed tube, integral with a rod fixed to a sliding tube;
a tray for receiving the urine and a cleaning fluid;
a compartment for collecting the urine and the cleaning fluid;
a drain connected to the compartment for collecting the urine and the cleaning fluid;
a counterweight integral with a moveable tube;
a first guiding ring for guiding the moveable tube;
a second cleaning ring through which the cleaning fluid is supplied;
the moveable tube incorporates a closing element which covers the receiving tray and the compartment for collecting the urine and the cleaning fluid in the retracted position;
a first branch of a fluid piping connected to a chamber created in the tubes in the third tube, and;
a second branch of the fluid piping connected to cleaning means for cleaning the receiver tube of the urine and the tray for receiving the urine, the piping of which has a three-way stopcock,
such that in the retracted position both concentric tubes are arranged one inside the other, and in the use position, the receiver tube for receiving the pet urine with a smaller diameter is visible by having moved, in an axial direction, one tube with respect to the other and, during the movement of the moveable tube to the retracted position after use, the receiver tube of the pet urine is cleaned.
