Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pet products, specifically relating to a water-absorbing pet bathing and drying all-in-one machine. Background Technology

[0002] Most cats and dogs resist bathing. Bathing them not only wets their owners' clothes but can also cause scratches. This necessitates a pet dryer to effectively dry pets after bathing. Existing pet dryers primarily use hot air to dry pets directly after a shower. However, after a shower, a pet's fur is still dripping wet. Directly drying with hot air requires evaporating all the moisture from the fur, consuming a lot of heat energy and time. This also forces the owner to wait too long, which can make pets impatient and even cause them to urinate or defecate inside the machine. To improve drying efficiency, a common solution is to increase fan speed and airflow to accelerate evaporation. However, this increases noise, reduces pet comfort, and makes them more agitated. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a water-absorbing pet bathing and drying all-in-one machine to overcome the above-mentioned problems or at least partially solve or alleviate them.

[0004] This invention proposes a water-absorbing pet bathing and drying all-in-one machine, comprising: The container has an entrance / exit, which is equipped with a door. The container also has a ventilation opening and a drainage outlet. A partition is provided in the lower part of the box body, which divides the box body into a drying chamber and a fan chamber. The partition is provided with an air intake that connects the drying chamber and the fan chamber, and a filter screen is provided at the air intake. A centrifugal fan is installed in the fan chamber on the lower side of the diaphragm. The air inlet of the centrifugal fan is connected to the air intake. A heater is installed at the air outlet of the centrifugal fan. The casing of the centrifugal fan is connected to the drain outlet through a pipeline. A blower baffle is provided inside the chamber, and a hot air channel is formed between the blower baffle and the side wall of the chamber. The lower end of the hot air channel is connected to the air outlet of the centrifugal fan. The blower baffle is provided with a plurality of blower holes that connect to the drying chamber. A shower system is installed inside the enclosure. The shower system includes a booster pump, the inlet of which is connected to a water inlet for connecting to an external water heater, and the outlet of which is connected to a spray pipe with multiple spray heads for showering pets.

[0005] The present invention also has the following optional features.

[0006] Optionally, the system also includes a tray disposed above the partition, the tray having a mesh cover that communicates with the air intake.

[0007] Optionally, the centrifugal fan includes a fan wheel, a volute, and a motor. The volute is disposed on the lower side of the transverse partition, the fan wheel is rotatably disposed inside the volute, a drain pipe is disposed on the volute, a drain valve is disposed on the drain pipe, and the drain valve is connected to the drain outlet.

[0008] Optionally, the shower system further includes a liquid filling pump, the inlet of which is connected to shower gel via a pipeline, and the outlet of which is connected to the spray pipeline via a pipeline, for spraying shower gel onto the pet.

[0009] Optionally, the box is equipped with a liquid storage box for adding shower gel, and the liquid storage box is connected to the inlet of the liquid adding pump through a pipeline.

[0010] This invention provides a water-absorbing pet bathing and drying all-in-one machine. The shower system allows pets inside the drying chamber to be bathed and showered. By placing a centrifugal fan below a horizontal partition, the pet's body is positioned close to the air intake on the partition. Air is drawn in through the air intake on the partition, and wastewater from the pet's shower is discharged outside the chamber through a drain connected to the centrifugal fan's housing. Furthermore, the negative pressure created by the centrifugal fan at the air intake directly draws away most of the moisture from the pet's fur, reducing the amount of water that needs to evaporate from the pet's body. Simultaneously, the fan blows heated air to dry the pet, reducing drying time and improving drying efficiency without compromising the pet's comfort. Attached Figure Description

[0013] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Detailed Implementation Example 1

[0014] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3This invention proposes a water-absorbing pet bathing and drying integrated machine, comprising: a housing 1, a horizontal partition 3, a centrifugal fan 4, a blower partition 6, and a shower system; the housing 1 is provided with an inlet and outlet, the inlet and outlet being provided with a door 2, and the housing 1 is also provided with a vent 101 and a drain outlet 102; the horizontal partition 3 is located in the lower part of the housing 1, and the horizontal partition 3 divides the housing 1 into a drying chamber 110 and a fan chamber 120; the horizontal partition 3 is provided with an air intake 301 connecting the drying chamber 110 and the fan chamber 120, and a filter screen 7 is provided at the air intake 301; the centrifugal fan 4 is located in the fan chamber 120 below the horizontal partition 3, the air inlet of the centrifugal fan 4 is connected to the air intake 301, and a heater 5 is provided at the air outlet of the centrifugal fan 4. The centrifugal fan 4 is connected to the drain outlet 102 via a pipe; the blower baffle 6 is installed inside the box 1, and a hot air channel 130 is formed between the blower baffle 6 and the side wall of the box 1. The lower end of the hot air channel 130 is connected to the air outlet of the centrifugal fan 4. The blower baffle 6 is provided with multiple blower holes 601 that connect to the drying chamber 110; the shower system is installed inside the box 1. The shower system includes a booster water pump 10. The inlet of the booster water pump 10 is connected to a water inlet 11, which is used to connect to an external water heater. The outlet of the booster water pump 10 is connected to a spray pipe 12. Multiple spray heads 13 are connected to the spray pipe 12. The multiple spray pipes 12 extend into the drying chamber 110, and the pet is showered through the multiple spray heads 13.

[0015] The ventilation opening 101 on the enclosure 1 is used to replace the air inside the enclosure 1. A fresh air fan 16 can also be installed at the ventilation opening 101 for ventilation and air exchange to achieve fresh air external circulation. A controller 17 is also installed on the upper part of the enclosure 1 for power on / off and function operation.

[0016] When it is time to bathe the pet, first connect the water inlet 11 to the water outlet of the water heater through the pipe, put the pet into the drying chamber 110 of the box 1, with the pet on the partition 3, start the bathing program, the booster water pump 10 sends the hot water from the water heater into the spray pipe 12, and then the multiple spray heads 13 extending into the box 1 start to rinse the pet. After rinsing, the water is filtered by the filter screen 7 at the air intake 301 and then enters the housing of the centrifugal fan 4 before flowing out of the box 1 from the drain outlet 102. After the bathing time is completed, the booster water pump 10 stops and the pet begins to dry.

[0017] When drying the pet, the centrifugal fan 4 in the fan chamber 120 below the partition 3 is started, and the heater 5 is started. After the centrifugal fan 4 starts, it creates a negative pressure at the air inlet. The air inlet sucks away the dripping water and moisture from the pet through the air intake 301 on the partition 3. Even if some water droplets are large, they will be dispersed into water mist inside the centrifugal fan 4. When the centrifugal fan 4 blows the water mist and moisture through the heater 5, the airflow is heated and the water mist and moisture will evaporate. If the water mist or moisture gathers into a water flow, it will be discharged outside the box 1 through the drain 102. The heated hot air passes through the hot air channel 130 and is blown into the pet in the drying chamber 110 through multiple air holes 601 on the air blowing partition 6 to dry the moisture in the pet's fur. After the hot air blows over the pet's body, most of the airflow enters the centrifugal fan 4 again through the air intake 301 on the partition 3 to form a circulating hot air. A portion of the airflow is discharged outside the box 1 through the vent 101 or window 103, continuously releasing water vapor and moisture.

[0018] The filter 7 at the air intake 301 can be a single-layer or multi-layer structure. The single-layer filter 7 uses fine mesh, while the multi-layer filter 7 can use coarse and fine mesh respectively. The filter 7 can prevent pet hair from falling from the pet into the centrifugal fan 4 through the air intake 301. Example 2

[0019] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 Based on embodiment 1, it also includes a tray 8, which is disposed above the partition 3, and a mesh cover 9 connected to the air intake 301 is provided on the tray 8.

[0020] The tray 8 is positioned above the partition 3. The tray 8 is detachable and can be removed from the partition 3. The mesh cover 9 on the tray 8 corresponds to the air intake 301. The edges of the tray 8 are chamfered, have an inner curved surface, or are sloping ribs, allowing the pet on the tray 8 to be closer to the center area, enabling the pet to sit or lie on the mesh cover 9. This allows the centrifugal fan 4 below to remove moisture and humidity through the air intake 301. The mesh cover 9 and tray 8 can be detachable separate units or integrated units. The mesh cover 9 supports the pet and also traps debris and pet hair. Example 3

[0021] refer to Figure 3 Based on Embodiment 1, the centrifugal fan 4 includes a fan wheel 410, a volute 420 and a motor 430. The volute 420 is located on the lower side of the transverse partition 3. The fan wheel 410 is rotatably located inside the volute 420. A drain pipe 421 is provided on the volute 420 and a drain valve 422 is provided on the drain pipe 421.

[0022] The motor 430 is a waterproof motor. The motor 430 can be installed inside the volute 420, and the main shaft of the motor 430 is directly connected to the impeller 410; the motor 430 can also be installed outside the volute 420, and the main shaft of the motor 430 passes through the volute 420 and connects to the impeller 410. A waterproof structure is adopted between the volute 420 and the motor 430.

[0023] The bath water from rinsing the pet flows into the volute 420 of the centrifugal fan 4 through the air intake 301. A drain pipe 421 is installed near the air outlet of the volute 420. The water entering the volute 420 can be discharged from the centrifugal fan 4 or the housing 1 through the drain pipe 421. After the centrifugal fan 4 is started, it can actively suck away the water stored in the pet's fur through the air intake 301. This can directly reduce the amount of water that the dryer needs to evaporate and improve the drying efficiency of the dryer.

[0024] A drain valve 422 is connected to the drain pipe 421, and the other end of the drain valve 422 is connected to the drain outlet 102. The drain valve 422 can be a manual valve or an electric valve. The drain valve 422 is in the open state when the pet is bathed and during the initial drying stage. After the drain valve 422 is opened, the drain pipe 421 is connected to the inside of the volute 420, and the water accumulated in the volute 420 is discharged from the drain pipe 421 and the drain outlet 102. After draining for a period of time, the drain valve 422 is closed. At this time, the remaining moisture in the pet's fur is entirely evaporated by the dryer. It is necessary to avoid the centrifugal fan 4 from leaking air and wasting air power. Example 4

[0025] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 Based on Embodiment 1, the shower system also includes a liquid filling pump 14. The inlet of the liquid filling pump 14 is connected to the shower gel through a pipeline, and the outlet is connected to the spray pipeline 12 through a pipeline, for spraying shower gel on pets.

[0026] The liquid pump 14 can be a peristaltic pump or other small flow pumps. The liquid pump 14 delivers shampoo into the spray pipe 12, where it mixes with the bath water. At the same time, under the pressure of the booster pump 11, it is sprayed onto the pet from each spray head 13. Example 5

[0027] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 Based on Example 4, the box 1 is provided with a liquid storage box 15 for adding shower gel, and the liquid storage box 15 is connected to the inlet of the liquid pump 14 through a pipeline.

[0028] The liquid storage box 15 is located on the upper part of the box 1. After pouring the prepared shampoo into the liquid storage box 15, start the liquid pump 14. The liquid pump 14 will pump the shampoo into the spray pipe 12, so that the shampoo can be sprayed on the pet being bathed.
