The first connecting part is located on the side closer to the groomer 2 and is made of double-sided adhesive. After connecting the grooming passage 401 to the passage 401 of the frame 4, the double-sided adhesive directly bonds the side of the frame 4 facing the groomer 2 to the side of the groomer 2. In other embodiments, the first connecting part is the side of the frame 4, and the frame 4 is directly integrally formed with the functional device. A connecting reinforcing plate 402 is also installed on the side of the frame 4 facing away from the groomer 2. In this embodiment, as shown in the attached... Figure 4 As shown, the connecting reinforcing plate 402 constitutes the second connecting part. A ring of clips 403 is provided around the channel 401 on the side of the connecting reinforcing plate 402 facing away from the frame 4. Each clip 403 has a barb, which is elastic. The clips 403 engage with the clips on the pet bed 1, securely connecting the pet bed 1 to the frame 4.
[0033] The groomer 2 has a detachable sand mat 3 attached to the side furthest from the pet bed 1, as shown in the attached image. Figure 1 As shown. Specifically, a connecting insert is integrally formed on one side of the sand-falling pad 3, and a connecting slot that mates with the connecting insert is opened at the bottom of the frame 4. The connecting insert is inserted into the connecting slot to achieve the connection.
[0034] The frame 4 is equipped with a locking device 5, which is installed inside the cavity of the frame 4. The locking device 5 is shown in the attached diagram. Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 As shown. The latching device 5 includes a lever 501, a slider 502, a stop pin 503, a first elastic element, and a second elastic element. In this embodiment, the first elastic element is a coil spring 504, and the second elastic element is an S-shaped elastic member 505, which is integrally formed with the stop pin 503. A groove 404 is provided on the frame 4 along the radial direction of the channel 401. In this embodiment, the groove 404 is vertically arranged. The latching device 5 includes a slider 502, which has a protrusion. The protrusion of the slider 502 is slidably connected in the groove 404, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3As shown. A vertical groove for a lever 501 is formed on the frame 4. The top of the groove extends through the top of the frame 4 and opens. A lever 501 is slidably connected within the groove, with its top extending to the opening at the top of the groove. A slanted groove 506 is formed on the lever 501. A sliding pin 507 is mounted on the slider 502 and slidably connected within the slanted groove 506. One end of a coil spring 504 is connected to the lower end of the slider 502, and the other end is fixed to the frame 4. A horizontally arranged groove for a stop pin 503 is also formed on the frame 4.

The end of the second elastic element away from the stop pin 503 is fixed to a fixed block within the frame 4.
[0035] The locking mechanism is mounted on the slider 502. In this embodiment, the slot 508 has a U-shaped structure, and the inner edge of the entrance / exit of the pet bed 1 can be inserted into the slot 508.
[0036] Before connecting the pet bed 1, push the protrusion by hand to move the slider 502 towards the center of the channel 401. After the slider 502 hits the stop pin 503, it is forced to move backward until the stop pin 503 locks the top of the slider 502. Figures 4-6 (The dotted line in the diagram) prevents the slider 502 from retracting, and the coil spring 504 generates a resetting force on the slider 502. The clip 403 is inserted into the clip hole of the pet bed 1 to pre-position and connect the pet bed 1. Then, the lever 501 is pressed, and the lever 501 moves towards the center of the channel 401. The lever 501 drives the sliding pin 507 to drive the stop pin 503 to retract until the slider 502 is completely released. The slider 502 retracts and resets under the pulling force of the coil spring 504. During the reset process, the U-shaped slot 508 locks the inner edge of the entrance / exit of the pet bed 1, thereby further connecting the pet bed 1. The side of the connector away from the pet bed 1 is bonded to the groomer 2 with double-sided adhesive. In this embodiment, an automatic feeder 6 is also installed on the pet bed 1.
[0037] The automatic feeder 6 automatically feeds the pet in the pet's nest 1. If the pet needs to eat, it must first pass through the groomer 2. The pet passes through the grooming channel 401 in the middle to have its fur groomed and removed. Even if it cannot adapt at first, the temptation of food will drive the pet to pass through the groomer 2 until the pet gets used to using the groomer 2.
[0038] When it is necessary to use waste cardboard boxes, especially corrugated cardboard boxes, as pet beds 1, it is only necessary to open a matching through hole on the side of the cardboard box corresponding to the position of connector channel 401, and it can be used as pet bed 1.
