Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pet supplies, and more specifically, to a carrier for holding a pet. Background Technology

[0002] The demand for pet care in cities is increasing, and pet grooming shops are becoming more and more common. People can get regular pet care at pet grooming shops, the most common of which are pet bathing and pet drying.

[0003] Pet stores now have drying boxes, which use a combination of bottom and side airflow to achieve better drying results. Therefore, the inner wall of the drying box has multiple vertically arranged nozzles to provide side airflow to the pet.

[0004] However, traditional dryers have a technical problem: because dryers need to dry both large and small dogs, the inner wall of the dryer has multiple air nozzles in the vertical direction to ensure that the airflow from the nozzles can cover the body of the larger dog when drying it.

[0005] When drying a small dog inside a hairdryer box, the higher nozzle cannot deliver airflow to the puppy due to its small size. Furthermore, the higher nozzle disperses some of the airflow, limiting the airflow from the lower nozzle and thus reducing the efficiency of drying the puppy. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pet carrier that allows the air nozzle to be freely blocked and opened by rotating a rotating plate. When a puppy is blowing air into the carrier, the upper air nozzle can be closed, allowing the lower air nozzle to gather more airflow to dry the puppy, thus improving the drying efficiency of the carrier.

[0007] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0008] A pet carrier includes a body, which includes a door and a side panel. The side panel has a side air duct and several air nozzles connected to the side air duct. A pivot is inserted through the side panel. One end of the pivot extends out of the body and has a knob. The other end of the pivot extends into the body and has a rotating plate fixed thereon. A damping ring that seals with the side panel is fitted on the pivot. When the knob is turned, the rotating plate rotates synchronously to open or close the air nozzles.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the knob drives the rotating plate to rotate, and the knob is operated by personnel on the outside of the box. The damping ring serves two purposes: firstly, it seals the space between the side plate and the rotating shaft to prevent air leakage; secondly, the damping ring increases the frictional resistance between the rotating shaft and the side plate, which helps to position the rotating shaft after rotation.

[0010] Preferably, several air nozzles are arranged horizontally to form multiple horizontal air ducts, and the multiple horizontal air ducts are arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the air nozzle is arranged in a horizontal air duct, which has a good drying effect on pets.

[0012] Preferably, a gear is fitted on the rotating shaft; all the gears of the rotating shafts on the same transverse air duct mesh with the same rack, and the side plate is provided with a sliding sleeve for the rack to move back and forth in a directional manner so as to realize that the rack drives all the rotating shafts on the transverse air duct to rotate synchronously in both directions.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, turning the knob can drive a row of rotating plates to open and close the air nozzles, resulting in high operating efficiency.

[0014] Preferably, there are two side panels, and the two side panels are arranged on both sides of the door.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the air nozzles are arranged on both sides to create convection, thereby improving the drying effect on pets.

[0016] Preferably, the housing contains a fan and an air chamber, the air chamber is connected to the side air duct, and the fan outlet is connected to the air chamber.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the air blown out by the fan is diverted to two side air passages through the air cavity.

[0018] Preferably, the side wall of the box is provided with ventilation holes, which are arranged in an umbrella shape. A rotating shaft is installed on the side wall of the box, and several baffles are fixed on the rotating shaft. The baffles rotate around the rotating shaft to open and close the ventilation holes.

[0019] The baffle is fixed with a lever, which extends out of the box through the vent hole;

[0020] Two clamps are provided along the edge of the vent, and the two clamps respectively hold the lever when the vent is opened or closed.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple ventilation holes are arranged in an umbrella shape, facilitating the opening and closing of the ventilation holes by rotating the baffle. The toggle lever allows the operator to control the rotation of the baffle from outside the enclosure. When the toggle lever rotates the shaft, it can engage the clamp, and the friction between the clamp and the lever positions the toggle lever, thus positioning the baffle in its rotated position. When the pet is resting inside the enclosure, closing the ventilation holes prevents small insects from flying in and disturbing the pet, reducing pet agitation. When it is necessary to dry the pet inside the enclosure, the ventilation holes can be opened to allow the moisture-laden airflow to escape, accelerating airflow inside and outside the enclosure and improving the efficiency of drying the pet.

[0022] Preferably, the rotating shaft is fixed with four baffles, the baffles are fan-shaped, and a ring is fixed on the outer edge of the baffle.

[0023] The ring connects the four baffles into one unit, increasing the overall structural strength of the four baffles, making the baffles less prone to bending, and providing a more stable seal for the vent holes.

[0024] Preferably, a ventilation window is formed between two adjacent baffles on the rotating shaft, and a mesh screen is installed on the ventilation window.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the mesh screen can prevent small insects from entering the box while ensuring air circulation inside and outside the box.

[0026] Preferably, a threaded rod is fixed on the baffle, a clamping plate is sleeved on the threaded rod, and a nut for locking the clamping plate is threaded onto the threaded rod, with the mesh held between the baffle and the clamping plate.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the mesh is clamped and fixed, and after removing the clamp, it is easy to quickly replace the worn mesh. Attached Figure Description

[0048] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] Example 1, a pet carrier, referring to Figures 1-3 It includes a housing 1, with a horizontally placed square tube installed at the bottom of the housing 1. The inside of the square tube is a wind chamber 22, and a fan 21 is installed on the upper surface of the square tube. The fan 21 blows air into the wind chamber 22.

[0050] The housing 1 is provided with a door 11, which is a glass door. The two sides of the door 11 are provided with side panels 31, which are double-layered. The space between the double-layered panels in the side panels 31 forms a side air passage 32, and the two side air passages 32 are connected to the air chamber 22.

[0051] The side plate 31 is equipped with an air nozzle 41. The plate inside the box 1 in the side plate 31 has a groove. The air nozzle 41 is fixed in the groove. The air nozzle 41 is connected to the side air passage 32. Therefore, the gas blown by the fan 21 can be ejected from the air nozzle 41.

[0052] A rotating shaft 51 is inserted through the side plate 31. One end of the rotating shaft 51 extends out of the box 1 and is fixed with a knob 53. The other end of the rotating shaft 51 extends into the box 1 and is fixed with a rotating plate 52. Rotating 52 results in a circular plate.

[0053] A damping ring 54 is fitted on the rotating shaft 51 to seal with the side plate 31. The damping ring 54 is a rubber ring and is used to prevent air leakage at the edge of the rotating shaft 51.

[0054] When knob 53 is turned in the forward direction, rotary plate 52 rotates synchronously to open air nozzle 41.

[0055] When knob 53 is turned in the opposite direction, rotary plate 52 rotates synchronously to seal the air nozzle 41.

[0056] Three air nozzles 41 are arranged horizontally to form a horizontal air duct 4, while a side plate 31 has three horizontal air ducts 4, which are arranged at equal intervals in the vertical direction.

[0057] When drying a large dog inside the box 1, the knobs 52 on all the air nozzles 41 can be unscrewed so that the upper and lower air nozzles 41 can blow air onto the large dog.

[0058] When drying a small dog inside the box 1, the knob 52 of the upper air nozzle 41 can be closed so that only the lower air nozzle 41 blows air onto the dog.

[0059] This allows the box 1 to have a high drying effect on both large and small dogs.

[0060] Example 2, a pet carrier, differs from Example 1 in that, referring to... Figures 4-6 A gear 61 is fitted on the rotating shaft 51. The rotating shaft 51 and the gear 61 are fixed to each other and can rotate synchronously. The gear 61 is placed on the outside of the housing 1. A sliding sleeve 63 is fixed on the side plate 31. The sliding sleeve 63 is a square metal tube sleeve. The sliding sleeve 63 is welded to the outer wall of the side plate 31. The two sliding sleeves 63 will be fitted on both ends of the rack 62, so that the rack 62 moves back and forth along the straight line formed by the two sliding sleeves 63.

[0061] The gears 61 of the three rotating shafts 51 mesh with the same rack 62. Therefore, when a knob 53 is rotated, the rack 62 drives the three horizontally arranged rotating shafts 51 to rotate synchronously, thus realizing the synchronous opening and closing action of the three air nozzles 41.

[0062] Example 3, a pet enclosure, differs from Example 1 or Example 2 in that the side wall of the enclosure 1 has a ventilation hole 7 for air exchange between the inside and outside of the enclosure 1, and the ventilation hole 7 is located in the side air passage 32 ( Figure 2 Above (middle);

[0063] The vent 7 is fan-shaped, and the four vents 7 are arranged in an umbrella shape.

[0064] A rotating shaft 82 is installed on the side plate 31 of the housing 1. The rotating shaft 82 is inserted into the side plate 31 of the housing 1 and then riveted together. After riveting, there is a gap between the rotating shaft 82 and the side plate 31, so the rotating shaft 82 can still rotate on the housing 1. Four baffles 81 are fixed on the rotating shaft 82. The baffles 81 rotate around the rotating shaft 82 to open and close the vent 7. The edges of the four baffles 81 are fixed with rings 84 to make the structure of the four baffles 81 more stable.

[0065] The baffle 81 is fixed with a lever 83, which extends out of the housing 1 along the vent hole 7; one of the vent holes 7 has two clamps 71, which are located on both sides of the vent hole 7. When the lever 83 rotates in the vent hole 7, the lever 83 can be engaged with the clamps 71 to achieve positioning.

[0066] When the baffle 81 blocks the vent 7, the lever 83 rotates clockwise into one clamp 71, and when the baffle 81 opens the vent 7, the lever 83 rotates counterclockwise into the other clamp 71.

[0067] A baffle 81 is fixed to the rotating shaft 82. The baffle 81 is fan-shaped, and a ring 84 is fixed to the outer edge of the baffle 81.

[0068] The working principle is that when the fan needs to draw air, the baffle 81 is rotated to open the vent 7.

[0069] After the air is removed, the baffle 81 can be rotated to seal the vent 7, allowing the pet to rest inside the enclosure 1 and preventing small insects from entering the enclosure 1 and disturbing the pet.

[0070] Example 4, a pet carrier, differs from Example 3 in that, referring to... Figures 8-9 A ventilation window 91 is formed between two adjacent baffles 81 on the rotating shaft 82. A mesh 92 is installed on the ventilation window 91. The mesh 92 is a complete circular mesh, so the mesh 92 completely covers the baffle 81.

[0071] A threaded rod 72 is fixed to the baffle 81, and a clamping plate 93 is fitted onto the threaded rod 72. The structure of the clamping plate 93 is the same as that of the baffle 81, and the mesh 92 is clamped between the baffle 81 and the clamping plate 93. The threaded rod 72 is threadedly connected to a nut 94 that locks the clamping plate 93. After the clamping plate 93 clamps and fixes the mesh 92, the nut 94 is tightened, so that the clamping plate 93 and the baffle 81 are in close contact. When the mesh 92 is damaged, the clamping plate 93 can be removed and a new mesh 92 can be installed. Therefore, the design of the clamping plate 93 is to facilitate the replacement of damaged mesh 92.

[0072] The mesh 92 design allows the ventilation hole 7 to be opened when the pet is resting. This is mainly to help the pet dissipate heat when it is hot. The mesh 92 design also prevents insects from entering the enclosure 1.

[0073] In this design, the mesh 92 is located above the side air passage 32, in the upper middle position of the box 1, so the pet's feet are unlikely to touch the mesh 92, making the mesh 92 less likely to be torn by the pet's feet.

[0074] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of the present invention's concept are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
