Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of pet equipment, and particularly relates to a wind channel structure and a drying box using the same. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the improvement of people's material living standards and the diversification of life interests, more and more pets are kept at home, and pets bring a lot of fun to people's daily life. As we all know, pets often appear in the room or the environment outside, and some pets like to roll on the ground or even dig through the garbage; their bodies are often very dirty, and some even carry bacteria or breed parasites; therefore, regular bathing of pets helps to keep pets healthy. However, due to the self-growth of the hair of the pets, there is a lot of water on the body of the pets after bathing, and these water needs to be dried in time to prevent the growth of bacteria and the occurrence of eczema and skin diseases caused by the humid body surface environment.

[0003] At present, hair dryers or pet water blowers are used to dry pet hair. These pet hair drying devices can only blow air in one direction, and the heat in the hot air blown out will quickly dissipate in the air. It takes a long time to dry the pet hair, and the working efficiency is low. In addition, during the pet hair drying process, the pet hair falling from the pet's body will also be scattered by the wind, polluting the surrounding environment. Therefore, a pet dryer with a certain containing space is very necessary. However, the pet dryers in the prior art use a motor to blow directly, which has high requirements for the power of the motor, and also has the defects of low air flow efficiency and unsatisfactory drying effect.

[0006] Preferably, a plurality of air inlet fans arranged in a central symmetry are distributed in the air inlet channel, and one side of the air inlet fan is provided with a heating element.

[0007] Preferably, the central axis of the air inlet fan is perpendicular to the central axis of the guide air port.

[0009] Preferably, the air inlet surface is arranged in a grid form, and the air inlet surface is provided with an air inlet corresponding to the position of the air guide hole.

[0010] An oven comprises the air duct structure, and comprises a box body, one end of the box body is provided with an opening, and the end is connected with the air duct structure, and the air duct structure and the inside of the box body form a containing cavity.

[0011] Preferably, the box body is connected to one side of the air inlet surface of the air duct structure.

[0012] Preferably, the end of the box body away from the air duct structure is provided with a box door.

[0013] Preferably, a plurality of air outlets are arranged on the box door or the side wall of the box body and communicated with the air duct structure.

[0014] After the above technical scheme is adopted, the air duct structure and the oven using the same have the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1) The air duct structure and the oven can realize that the air flow can dry the pet in the oven from all around, and improve the drying efficiency.

[0016] 2) The air inlet surface is designed in a grid form, which can ensure the uniformity of the air flow distribution, greatly improve the use efficiency of the air flow, and improve the comfort of the pet during drying.

[0018] 4) The design of the heating element can heat the air flow entering the air inlet fan, and the use of the air flow with a certain temperature for drying can ensure the comfort of the pet and improve the drying efficiency.

[0019] 5) The present application can ensure the flowability of the drying air flow entering the drying box from the air inlet channel and then being discharged from the air outlet, thereby ensuring the stability of the external air introduced at the air guide opening.
