Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet supplies technology, specifically to an air conditioner fan cat climbing frame. Background Technology

[0002] With the significant improvement in people's living standards, the public's attention to the living environment of pets is increasing day by day. Cat trees, as facilities for cats' daily activities, have been widely used in many cat-owning households.

[0003] However, most cat trees on the market today have limited functionality. Their main purpose is limited to providing cats with a place to climb and rest. In hot summer weather, cats often become restless due to the high temperature, and ordinary cat trees cannot provide them with a cool and comfortable experience, which negatively impacts their quality of life. Furthermore, in dry seasons, low air humidity can lead to problems such as dry skin and respiratory discomfort in cats, and traditional cat trees are ineffective in improving environmental humidity.

[0004] Therefore, developing a cat tree that can regulate the cat's perceived temperature and ambient humidity is of great practical significance. This product not only meets the cat's temperature and humidity needs during hot, dry summers but also effectively satisfies consumers' demand for multifunctional pet supplies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art and improve the versatility of cat trees so that they can still provide a comfortable living experience for cats in the hot and dry summer, this utility model provides an air conditioning fan cat tree to solve the above problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An air conditioning fan cat climbing frame includes a column, and a resting platform is provided on the side wall of the column; characterized in that: a cavity is provided inside the column, and an air inlet and an air outlet communicating with the cavity are opened on the column, a filter screen is provided at the air inlet, and the airflow direction of the air outlet is towards the resting platform.

[0008] An airflow generating device is disposed in the cavity to draw external gas into the cavity from the air inlet, thereby forcing the gas in the cavity to be discharged from the air outlet.

[0009] A humidifying device for humidifying the filter screen.

[0010] When the airflow generator is activated, outside air is drawn into the cavity through the air inlet, passing through a filter located at the inlet. The filter performs preliminary filtration, removing dust and other impurities. The drawn-in air is then exhausted through the air outlet, with the airflow directed towards the resting platform, providing a breeze for the cats there. Furthermore, the filter is humidified by the humidifier, increasing the humidity of the air as it passes through. This humidification process regulates the ambient humidity, and the evaporation of moisture in the air absorbs heat, helping to lower the perceived temperature around the cats.

[0011] This design breaks through the limitations of traditional cat trees with their single function, integrating climbing, resting, and temperature and humidity regulation into one unit. It meets consumers' demand for multifunctional pet supplies, making cat trees more practical. By incorporating an air conditioning fan function into the cat tree, there's no need for a separate air conditioning fan, effectively saving indoor space and providing cat-owning families with a more compact and convenient pet living environment solution.

[0012] Preferably, a water storage area is provided at the bottom of the cavity, and the humidification device includes a water distribution pipe and a water pump that drives the water distribution pipe. The inlet end of the water distribution pipe is connected to the water storage area, and the outlet end of the water distribution pipe extends to the filter screen to distribute the water in the water storage area to the surface of the filter screen.

[0013] The water storage area is located at the bottom of the cavity, tightly integrated with the overall structure, without taking up too much extra space, making the entire cat tree structure more compact and rationally laid out. The water storage area, together with the water distribution pipes and water pump, forms a relatively independent and self-circulating water supply system. This means that within a certain water volume range, the filter can be continuously humidified without frequent manual water additions, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the humidification device, providing a consistently comfortable environment for the cat, and reducing the user's maintenance costs and effort.

[0014] Preferably, the column is composed of a detachable lower shell and an upper shell, the inner wall of the lower shell forms the water storage area, and the outer wall of the upper shell fixes the resting platform.

[0015] The detachable support column design makes the water reservoir and related internal components easily accessible. Users can conveniently clean the water reservoir regularly to prevent bacterial growth, ensure the cleanliness of the humidifying water, and thus improve the overall hygiene of the cat tree, providing a healthier living environment for cats. Furthermore, removing the support column also makes it easier to maintain components that may malfunction, such as the humidifier.

[0016] Preferably, the inner wall of the lower housing is fixed with an installation ring, and the housing also includes a support ring overlapping the upper end face of the installation ring, the support ring being used to provide installation support for the water pump and the airflow generating device.

[0017] When installation, maintenance, or replacement of the water pump or airflow generator is required, the upper and lower housings are first separated because the column is detachable. At this point, the water pump and airflow generator are securely mounted on the support ring, with the mounting ring overlapping the upper surface of the support ring. This structure allows for easy removal or installation of the relevant devices from the support ring, greatly simplifying the operation process and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0018] Preferably, the inner wall of the support ring extends downward to form an extension tube, the filter screen is sleeved on the outer wall of the extension tube, and the side wall of the extension tube is provided with air holes in the area covered by the filter screen.

[0019] The extension tube provides a secure fitting structure for the filter, ensuring it remains in the correct position. When the airflow generator operates, drawing outside air into the cavity from the inlet, the air passes through the filter fitted onto the outer wall of the extension tube. Air vents on the side wall of the extension tube within the filter's coverage area guide air more evenly through the filter, ensuring full contact with its surface.

[0020] Preferably, a transparent observation window is provided on the side wall of the column, which is used to observe the water level in the water storage area.

[0021] The transparent viewing window allows users to easily check the water level in the water tank without affecting the normal use of the cat tree. This design greatly facilitates user monitoring of the humidification system, preventing humidification device malfunctions due to low water levels and ensuring that the cat tree continuously provides a suitable humidity environment for cats.

[0022] Preferably, a water supply pipe is provided on the side wall of the column, which is used to supply water to the water storage area, and a sealing cap is provided at the inlet of the water supply pipe.

[0023] Users can conveniently replenish water to the water storage area through the water supply pipe. After replenishment, the water supply pipe should be sealed with a sealing cap to prevent outside air from entering the cavity of the column through the water supply pipe.

[0024] Preferably, a silver ion sterilization box is provided in the water storage area.

[0025] The silver ion sterilization box can effectively kill bacteria and microorganisms in the water storage area, greatly reducing the risk of bacterial growth and creating a healthier living environment for cats.

[0026] Preferably, the air inlet includes multiple air intake micro-holes, which are evenly distributed in the air intake area of ​​the column sidewall, and the filter screen covers the inside of the air intake micro-holes.

[0027] The filter screen covers the inside of the air intake micropores. It not only filters dust, hair, and other impurities from the air, but also protects the filter screen due to the blocking effect of the micropores. Cats are naturally active and may scratch or touch objects. Since the air intake micropores are relatively small, the cat's claws cannot directly contact the filter screen, thus preventing it from being scratched and ensuring that the filter can continue to work normally and stably filter the incoming air.

[0028] Preferably, multiple rest platforms and air outlets are provided, and each rest platform corresponds to one air outlet.

[0029] Multiple resting platforms are paired with air vents, ensuring that cats receive comfortable airflow in different positions on the cat tree. This meets the cat's needs for a comfortable environment in different activity states on the cat tree, greatly enhancing the cat's user experience and making the cat love playing on the cat tree even more.

Detailed Implementation

[0039] To make the purpose, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0040] Example:

[0041] like Figures 1-7 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a specific installation structure for an air conditioner fan cat climbing frame.

[0042] This air-conditioning fan cat tree mainly includes a base 100, a column 110, a resting platform 120, a humidifier, and an airflow generator. Multiple resting platforms 120 are provided on the side wall of the column 110. The base 100 enhances the stability of the column 110, effectively increasing the contact area between the cat tree and the ground. To further enhance the stability of the cat tree, suction cups can be installed at the bottom of the base 100 to increase the adhesion between the base 100 and the ground, preventing the cat tree from tipping over during use.

[0043] In this embodiment, the resting platform 120 refers to a platform on a cat tree for cats to rest on, such as a cat bed or a load-bearing plate fixed on the cat tree.

[0044] The column 110 has an internal cavity 130 structure. The column 110 has an air inlet and multiple air outlets 1102 connected to the cavity 130. In this embodiment, the air inlet consists of multiple evenly distributed micro-holes 101 on the side wall of the column 110. A filter 140 covers the inside of the micro-holes 101. The filter 140 needs good water absorption performance; for example, it can be made of sponge, cotton cloth, etc.

[0045] The small diameter air inlet micropores do not obstruct airflow, and at the same time, they can prevent dust accumulation on the filter 140.

[0046] A water storage area is provided at the bottom of the cavity 130. The humidification device in this embodiment includes a water distribution pipe 1601 and a water pump 1602. The inlet end of the water distribution pipe 1601 is connected to the water storage area, and the outlet end extends to the filter screen 140. The water pump 1602 draws water from the water storage area and then drips the water onto the filter screen 140. The water is then spread to all filters 140 by the wetting effect of the filter screen itself. The required power of the water pump 1602 is not high, so in this embodiment, the water pump 1602 uses a battery as a power source.

[0047] If the cat tree is large and requires a high power from the water pump 1602, an external power source can be connected via an electrical cord to utilize its external power function. The control system of the water pump 1602 can sense the operating status of the airflow generator. The specific sensing structure of its control system can employ existing technology, which will not be elaborated upon in this embodiment. When the airflow generator is operating, the control system of the water pump 1602 controls the water pump 1602 to start operating; when the airflow generator is shut down, the control system of the water pump 1602 controls the water pump 1602 to shut down.

[0048] The column 110 is composed of a detachable lower shell 1103 and an upper shell 1104. The inner wall of the lower shell 1103 forms a water storage area, and the outer wall of the upper shell 1104 is fixed with a resting platform 120. In this embodiment, the lower end face of the upper shell 1104 is provided with a mounting sleeve 1106 that can be inserted into the lower shell 1103. When the mounting sleeve 1106 is inserted into the lower shell, the lower end face of the upper shell 1104 abuts against the upper end face of the lower shell 1103, thereby realizing the installation and fixation of the upper shell 1104 and the lower shell 1103.

[0049] To further improve the stability of the upper shell 1104 and the lower shell 1103, an internal thread can be provided on the outer wall of the mounting sleeve 1106 and an external thread can be provided on the inner wall of the upper shell 1104. The mounting sleeve 1106 can be installed on the lower shell 1103 through threaded engagement.

[0050] A mounting ring 1105 is fixed to the inner wall of the lower housing 1103. A support ring 170 is attached to the mounting ring 1105. The support ring 170 provides mounting support for the water pump 1602 and the airflow generating device. The airflow generating device is located in the cavity 130. In this embodiment, the airflow generating device is an exhaust fan blade 210. The exhaust fan is connected to an external power source via a power line 220. The airflow generating device can also take other forms, such as a axial fan, as long as it allows gas to flow into the cavity 130 from the air inlet and then out of the cavity 130 from the air outlet.

[0051] The end of the power cord 220 that passes through the side wall of the column 110 is provided with a plug. The plug can be inserted into a socket to connect to an external power source. The column 110 is provided with a mounting hole for the power cord 220 to pass through. The size of the mounting hole should be larger than that of the socket so that the power cord 220 can be removed from the mounting hole when the internal structure of the cat climbing frame is being repaired or replaced.

[0052] An annular sealing plug 230 is provided at the mounting hole. A through hole for the power cord 220 to pass through is provided at the center of the annular sealing plug 230. The annular sealing plug 230 is inserted into the mounting hole, thereby sealing the mounting hole.

[0053] The inner wall of the support ring 170 extends downward to form an extension tube 1701. The filter screen 140 is sleeved on the outer wall of the extension tube 1701. The side wall of the extension tube 1701 has air holes 1702 in the area covered by the filter screen 140. The filter screen 140 can be fixed by means of cable ties, glue, etc.

[0054] The column 110 has a transparent observation window 180 on its side wall for observing the water level in the water storage area. It is also equipped with a water supply pipe 190 with a sealing cover 1901 for supplying water to the water storage area. A silver ion sterilization box 200 is placed in the water storage area.

[0055] Its specific operating principle is as follows:

[0056] When the exhaust fan blades 210 are activated, outside air enters through the air inlet composed of multiple intake micro-holes 101. After being initially filtered for impurities by the filter screen 140, it enters the cavity 130 of the column 110. Simultaneously, the water pump 1602 delivers water from the water storage area to the surface of the filter screen 140 through the water distribution pipe 1601, keeping the filter screen 140 moist. When air passes through the humidified filter screen 140, which is fitted onto the outer wall of the extension pipe 1701, it is further filtered. Furthermore, the air comes into full contact with the moist filter screen 140, causing moisture to evaporate and achieving air humidification.

[0057] Humidified air, under the action of the airflow generator, is exhausted from the air outlets 1102 corresponding to each resting platform 120, bringing a moist and cool breeze to the cats on the resting platform 120. The evaporation of moisture absorbs heat, lowering the perceived temperature around the cats. Users can check the water level in the storage area through the transparent observation window 180. When the water level drops, the water inlet pipe 190 and sealing cover 1901 are opened to replenish water. The silver ion sterilization box 200 continuously kills bacteria in the water storage area, ensuring water quality hygiene.

[0058] The above design breaks through the limitations of traditional cat trees, integrating climbing, resting, and temperature and humidity regulation functions to meet the multifunctional needs of pet supplies and improve practicality. The water storage area, water distribution pipe 1601, and water pump 1602 constitute an independent circulating water supply system, ensuring continuous humidification of the filter 140, providing a long-lasting comfortable environment for cats and reducing user maintenance costs.

[0059] The detachable support column 110 design allows users to easily clean the water storage area and maintain components such as the humidifier, improving the hygiene of the cat tree and ensuring the health of the cat. The mounting ring 1105 and support ring 170 simplify the installation, maintenance, and replacement process of the water pump 1602 and the airflow generator, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0060] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
