[0027] The pet cleaning device provided by this invention includes a base, and a fan assembly, a dust cup assembly, an airflow channel, and an adjustment structure disposed on the base. The airflow path can be changed by adjusting the adjustment structure, allowing either an air inlet or an air outlet to be formed at the first through-hole. Specifically, when the adjustment structure is in its first working state, it connects the first through-hole and the first airflow section, and connects the air outlet of the fan assembly to the outside. The first through-hole forms an airflow inlet. The fan assembly creates negative pressure within the dust cup assembly, allowing airflow to enter the airflow channel from the first through-hole and then into the dust cup assembly. Hair or debris drawn in is filtered by the filter structure within the dust cup assembly, falling into the dust cup. The airflow then enters the second airflow channel from the filter structure. Within the first section, the airflow enters the fan assembly and is then discharged to the outside, thus removing pet hair or debris. When the adjustment structure is in the second working state, the adjustment structure connects the first through hole to the air outlet of the fan assembly, and the first airflow section and / or the second airflow section are connected to the outside. An airflow outlet is formed at the first through hole. When the fan assembly is working, the airflow can enter the dust cup assembly or the fan assembly through the connection between the first airflow section and / or the second airflow section and the outside, and then flow out from the first through hole through the air outlet of the fan assembly, thus forming an air outlet at the first through hole, which can be used to blow-dry the pet. This pet cleaning device has both hair removal and drying functions, making it more versatile. It also has a compact structure and small size, thus occupying less space and being more convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0042] The present application provides a pet cleaning device 100 which can be used for hair cleaning and drying of cats, dogs or other pets. For the convenience of description, the specific structure of the pet cleaning device 100 will be described below by taking the pet cleaning device 100 used for cleaning a pet dog as an example.
[0043] Specifically, please refer to Figures 1 to 3The pet cleaning device 100 comprises a base 1, a fan assembly 2, a dust cup assembly 3, an air flow channel 4 and an adjusting structure 5 arranged on the base 1; the fan assembly 2 is used to form air flow, so that the air flow can flow along the air flow channel 4; the dust cup assembly 3 is located on one side of the fan assembly 2, and the dust cup assembly 3 has an air inlet 311 and an air outlet 312; the air flow carrying dog hair or dirt can enter the dust cup assembly 3 from the air inlet 311, and the clean air flow is discharged from the air outlet 312 after being filtered in the dust cup assembly 3, and the dog hair or other dirt is left in the dust cup 31 of the dust cup assembly 3; the adjusting structure 5 is movably arranged on the base 1 and has a first working state and a second working state; the adjusting structure 5 is provided with a first through hole 5111 adapted to communicate with the outside, where the outside refers to the space outside the pet cleaning device 100 relative to the pet cleaning device 100 itself; the first through hole 5111 can be directly communicated with the outside, or the first through hole 5111 can be adapted to be communicated with an external hose to realize the functions of sucking dog hair or blowing air for the pet; the air flow channel 4 has a first air flow passage 41 connected between the adjusting structure 5 and the air inlet 311, and a second air flow passage 42 connected between the air outlet 312 and the air inlet end of the fan assembly 2; when the adjusting structure 5 is in the first working state, the adjusting structure 5 can make the first through hole 5111 and the first air flow passage 41 communicate with each other, the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2 communicates with the outside, the first through hole 5111 forms an air inlet, the air flow enters the dust cup assembly 3 along the first air flow passage 41 through the first through hole 5111, and then enters the fan assembly 2 through the second air flow passage 42 after being filtered by the dust cup assembly 3; at this time, the pet cleaning device 100 is in a hair removal working mode; when the adjusting structure 5 is in the second working state, the adjusting structure 5 makes the first through hole 5111 communicate with the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2, the first air flow passage 41 and / or the second air flow passage 42 communicate with the outside, the first through hole 5111 forms an air outlet, the air flow can enter the dust cup assembly 3 through the first air flow passage 41, and / or the air flow directly enters the fan assembly 2 through the second air flow passage 42, and then is discharged towards the first through hole 5111 through the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2; at this time, the pet cleaning device 100 is in a blowing working mode.
[0044] The flow path of the air flow can be changed by adjusting the adjusting structure 5, so that the first through hole 5111 can form an air inlet or an air outlet; the pet cleaning device 100 has both hair suction function and drying function, is more versatile, has compact structure, small volume, occupies smaller space and is more convenient to use.
[0045] In an embodiment, when the pet cleaning device 100 is in the blowing mode, the air flow can enter the dust cup assembly 3 through the first air flow passage 41, then pass through the second air flow passage 42 to the fan assembly 2, and finally blow out from the first through hole 5111. At this time, the first air outlet hole 11 can be arranged on the base 1, and the second air outlet hole 5112 which is in communication with the first air outlet hole 11 can be arranged on the adjusting structure 5. The first air outlet hole 11 is arranged in isolation with the first through hole 5111. By adjusting the adjusting structure 5 to be in the first working state, the first through hole 5111 can be in communication with the first air flow passage 41, the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2 can be in communication with the second air outlet hole 5112, the air flow can enter the first air flow passage 41 through the first through hole 5111, flow out of the dust cup assembly 3, then enter the fan assembly 2 through the second air flow passage 42, and be discharged to the base 1 through the second air outlet hole 5112, and then be discharged to the outside through the first air outlet hole 11, so as to realize the dehairing of the pet. By adjusting the adjusting structure 5 to be in the second working state, the second air outlet hole 5112 and the first air flow passage 41 can be in communication, the first through hole 5111 and the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2 can be in communication, the air flow can enter the first air flow passage 41 through the second air outlet hole 5112, then flow along the dust cup assembly 3, the second air flow passage 42 and the fan assembly 2 in sequence, and finally be discharged through the first through hole 5111, so as to realize the blowing of the pet.
[0046] It can be understood that when the air flow blows out from the first through hole 5111 after passing through the dust cup assembly 3, the dust cup assembly 3 stores the hair or other dirt during the dehairing mode, and the air flow filtered from the dust cup assembly 3 can have an odor, so that the air flow blown out during the blowing of the pet can have an odor, which can affect the user's experience. Therefore, when the pet cleaning device 100 is in the blowing mode, the air flow can not flow through the dust cup assembly 3, but directly enter the fan assembly 2 and then blow out through the first through hole 5111.
[0047] Specifically, the air flow channel 4 can further include a third air flow section 43 adapted to communicate with the outside and the air inlet end of the fan assembly 2, and when the adjusting structure 5 is in the first working state, the second air flow section 42 is in communication with the air inlet end of the fan assembly 2, and the third air flow section 43 is blocked from the outside, and the air flow enters the fan assembly 2 along the second air flow section 42; when the adjusting structure 5 is in the second working state, the third air flow section 43 is in communication with the air inlet end of the fan assembly 2, and at this time, the second air flow section 42 can be blocked from the air inlet end of the fan assembly 2, or the second air flow section 42 can also form a passage with the air inlet end of the fan assembly 2, but since the path between the third air flow section 43 and the air inlet end of the fan assembly 2 is shorter, and does not need to pass through the dust cup assembly 3, the air resistance is smaller, and the air flow can preferably enter the fan assembly 2 through the third air flow section 43, so that in the blowing mode, the air flow can directly enter the fan assembly 2 through the third air flow section 43, and then flow to the first through hole 5111 through the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2 to be blown out, and the blown air flow does not flow through the dust cup assembly 3, so it will not have any smell, and the use experience is better.
[0048] It can be understood that there are many forms of setting to realize the sequential communication of the second air flow section 43 and the third air flow section 42 with the fan assembly 2. In an embodiment, a blocking member can be provided in the second air flow section 42 and / or the third air flow section 43, and the second air flow section 42 and / or the third air flow section 43 are opened and closed by the blocking member in turn to keep the second air flow section 42 and the third air flow section 43 in communication with the fan assembly 2, respectively.
[0049] Preferably, an opening 421 is provided on one side of the second air flow section 43, and the part of the second air flow section 42 between the opening 421 and the air inlet end of the fan assembly 2 forms the third air flow section 43 described above, so that the second air flow section 42 and the third air flow section 43 can share a section of pipeline, so that the structure of the air flow channel 4 is simpler and more compact, thereby occupying less space and optimizing the pipeline.
[0050] At this time, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the pet cleaning device 100 further comprises a cover plate member 6 movably arranged at the opening 421, when the adjusting structure 5 is in the first working state, the cover plate member 6 is in a closed state of closing the opening 421, so that when the fan assembly 2 is started to work, a negative pressure can be formed in the airflow channel 4 to perform the hair removal work; when the adjusting structure 5 is switched from the first working state to the second working state, the cover plate member 6 can be driven to open the opening 421 to be in an open state under the action of the adjusting structure 5, so that when the fan assembly 2 is started to work, the airflow can directly enter the fan assembly 2 from the opening 421 through the third airflow passage 43, and then be discharged from the first through hole 5111 at the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2 to form a blowing circulation passage, thereby blowing the pet; and when blowing, the airflow does not flow through the dust cup assembly 3, the airflow is cleaner, and there is no odor, thereby providing a better blowing experience.
[0051] When the adjusting structure 5 is in the first working state, in combination with Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 The airflow flow direction is indicated by the dashed arrow, the first through hole 5111 is in communication with the air inlet 311, the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2 is in communication with the second air outlet hole 5112, and the third airflow passage 43 is in a closed state. After the airflow enters the dust cup assembly 3 from the first through hole 5111, it enters the fan assembly 2 from the airflow channel 4, and is discharged into the base 1 through the second air outlet hole 5112 and finally discharged through the first air outlet hole 11; when the adjusting structure 5 is in the second working state, in combination with Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The airflow flow direction is indicated by the dashed arrow, the third airflow passage 43 is in an open state, and the first through hole 5111 and the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2 are in communication. The airflow enters the fan assembly 2 from the third airflow passage 43, and flows through the first through hole 5111 from the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2.
[0052] Preferably, in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the adjusting structure 5 comprises an adjusting cylinder 51 rotatably arranged on the base 1. The adjusting cylinder 51 rotates relative to the base 1 to be in the first working state and the second working state, respectively, so that the first through hole 5111 can be in communication with the first airflow passage in the first working state and in communication with the third airflow passage 43 in the second working state, so that the pet cleaning device 100 can switch between different working modes; and the adjusting cylinder 51 further comprises an abutting portion 513, and the cover plate member 6 is rotatably arranged at the opening 421. When the adjusting cylinder 51 is switched from the first working state to the second working state, the abutting portion 513 can abut against the cover plate member 6, so that the cover plate member 6 rotates to switch from the closed state to the open state, so that the cover plate member 6 can automatically open the opening 421 to enable the pet cleaning device 100 to enter the blowing mode.
[0053] Specifically, when the adjusting cylinder 51 is in the first working state, the abutting portion 513 is separated from the cover plate 6, and when the adjusting cylinder 51 is rotated under the action of an external force to switch from the first working state to the second working state, the abutting portion 513 gradually abuts against the cover plate 6 to rotate the cover plate 6 away from the opening 421, thereby opening the opening 421, and at the same time, the first through hole 5111 is in communication with the third airflow passage 43 under the rotation of the adjusting cylinder 51, thereby enabling the pet cleaning device 100 to enter the blowing working mode to blow dry the pet. When the user adjusts the working mode, the user only needs to rotate the adjusting cylinder 51 to switch the working mode, and does not need to replace the device, which is convenient to operate.
[0054] It can be understood that the adjusting cylinder 51 can have various forms, and in an embodiment, a movable baffle can be arranged on the adjusting cylinder 51, which is arranged on the front half side and the rear half side of the adjusting cylinder 51 respectively, so that the front half side of the adjusting cylinder 51 is opened and the rear half side is closed to communicate the airflow passage 4 to enter the fur removing mode, and the rear half side of the adjusting cylinder 51 is opened and the front half side is closed to communicate the third airflow passage 43 to enter the blowing mode by adjusting the baffle. The movement of the baffle enables the switching between the two working modes.
[0055] Moreover, when the pet cleaning device 100 is in the fur removing working mode, the airflow can be better discharged from the pet cleaning device 100. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 6, the first airflow passage 41 and the second airflow passage 42 are arranged on the same side of the adjusting cylinder 51, and the third airflow passage 43 is arranged on the other side of the adjusting cylinder 51. Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, the base is provided with a first air outlet hole 11, and the adjusting cylinder 51 comprises a cylinder main body 511 and a first partition plate 512 arranged in the cylinder main body 511. The cylinder main body 511 is hollow, and the first partition plate 512 extends along the axial direction of the cylinder main body 511 to divide the inside of the cylinder main body 511 into a first passage and a second passage. The cylinder main body 511 has a first cylinder opening arranged outward, where outward is relative to the pet cleaning device 100 itself. The inside of the pet cleaning device 100 is the inside, and the direction opposite to the inside is the outside. The first cylinder opening is the end of the cylinder main body 511 closer to the outside. The side wall of the first passage is provided with a second air outlet hole 5112 connected with the first air outlet hole 11, and a barrier is arranged in the first passage to block the second air outlet hole 5112 and the first cylinder opening. The second passage forms the first air hole 5111. When the adjusting cylinder 51 is in the first working state, the second passage is connected with the first air flow passage 41, the cover plate 6 is in the closed state, the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2 is connected with the second air outlet hole 5112, the air flow can enter the first air flow passage 41 from the second passage, enter the dust cup assembly 3, and then enter the fan assembly 2 from the first air flow passage 41. The air flow is discharged into the base 1 from the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2 through the second air outlet hole 5112, and then discharged to the outside through the first air outlet hole 11 on the base 1, forming a hair removal and suction circulation channel. When the adjusting cylinder 51 is in the second working state, the cover plate 6 is in the open state, the second passage is connected with the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2, and the second air outlet hole 5112 is located outside the third air flow passage 43. The air flow directly enters the fan assembly 2 from the third air flow passage 43, and is discharged from the second passage through the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2, thereby forming a blowing circulation channel. By rotating the adjusting cylinder 51, the switching between the two working modes is realized, which is simple and convenient. In addition, a concave-convex structure or a non-slip ring can be arranged on the outer wall of the adjusting cylinder 51 to increase the friction between the user's hand and the adjusting cylinder 51, so that the adjusting cylinder 51 is easier to rotate.
[0056] Preferably, again in combination Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the abutting portion 513 comprises a boss 5131 protruding from the outer circumferential side of the adjusting cylinder 51, and the cover plate 6 comprises a cover plate main body and an extension segment protruding from one side of the cover plate main body away from the opening 421. When the adjusting cylinder 51 is switched from the first working state to the second working state, the boss 5131 can abut against the extension segment, thereby pushing the cover plate main body to rotate towards the direction away from the opening 421 to open the opening 421.
[0057] It is understood that the base 1 can be a flat plate, a mounting frame made of overlapping rods, or a mounting structure with a certain shape formed by combining other materials. The specific shape of the base 1 is not specifically limited here, as long as it can better cooperate with the fan assembly 2 and the dust cup assembly 3 for installation. In this embodiment, the base 1 is generally arranged in a groove shape. The fan assembly 2 and the dust cup assembly 3 are arranged side by side at the groove opening of the base 1. The first air outlet 11 is formed on a groove wall of the base 1, and the second air outlet 5112 is located on the part of the adjusting structure 5 that extends into the base 1 and communicates with the first air outlet 11. The dust cup assembly 3 and the fan assembly 2 are arranged side by side along the left and right direction of the base 1, and the dust cup assembly 3 is located on the left side of the fan assembly 2. The following description of the orientation can be referred to accordingly.
[0058] Among them, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the dust cup assembly 3 may include a dust cup 31 and a filter structure 32 disposed within the dust cup 31. The dust cup 31 has an air inlet 311 and an air outlet 312. Hair and other debris sucked in can fall into the dust cup 31, allowing the airflow to be filtered by the filter structure 32 before being discharged, thereby collecting and storing hair and other debris through the dust cup 31. In addition, a handle is provided on the top of the dust cup 31, which makes it convenient for users to hold and thus makes it easier to perform hair suction or blow-drying operations.
[0059] Furthermore, to help users better understand which working mode the pet cleaning device 100 is in, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the pet cleaning device 100 also includes an indicator (not shown in the figures), a first switch structure 81, and a second switch structure 82. The indicator is electrically connected to both the first switch structure 81 and the second switch structure 82, and has a first indicator state and a second indicator state. The first indicator state indicates that the pet cleaning device 100 is in the hair removal mode, and the second indicator state indicates that the pet cleaning device 100 is in the blower mode. A trigger part 52 is provided on the adjustment structure 5. When the adjustment structure 5 is in the first working state, the trigger part 52 triggers the first switch structure 81 to make the indicator device move to the first indicator state. When the adjustment structure 5 is in the second working state, the trigger part 52 triggers the second switch structure 82 to make the indicator device move to the second indicator state. The indicator device can be an audible prompt device (e.g., one beep indicates the first working state, two beeps indicate the second working state), and / or a signal indicator light (e.g., a green light indicates the first working state, and a red light indicates the second working state), and / or a display screen (which can directly show which working mode the pet cleaning device 100 is in), etc. Depending on different usage needs, one or more indicator devices can be specifically set so that users can more clearly understand the working mode of the pet cleaning device 100, thereby avoiding misoperation.
[0060] The first switch structure 81 and the second switch structure 82 can be mechanical switches or touch switches, and the trigger 52 can be a protrusion on the outer circumferential side of the adjusting cylinder 51. When the adjusting cylinder 51 is in the first working state, the protrusion is pressed on the first switch structure 81, so that the indicator device gives a prompt response to indicate that the pet cleaning device 100 is in the hair removal mode. When the adjusting cylinder 51 is in the second working state, the protrusion is pressed on the second switch structure 82, so that the indicator device gives a prompt response to indicate that the pet cleaning device 100 is in the blowing mode. Preferably, the first switch structure 81 and the second switch structure 82 are arranged on the opposite sides of the adjusting cylinder 51 along the front-rear direction, and the rotation angle of the adjusting cylinder 51 is 180°, which is convenient to operate and has a better hand feeling.
[0061] Moreover, as shown in Figure 8 The pet cleaning device 100 further comprises a heating assembly 9 located in the passage connected with the first through hole 5111 at the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2. Figure 8 The dashed arrow in the figure indicates the direction of the air flow. The heat generated by the heating assembly 9 makes the air flow blown out of the first through hole 5111 in the blowing mode of the pet cleaning device 100 to be hot air flow, so as to improve the drying efficiency of the pet and make the pet warmer in winter. The heating assembly 9 can be a heating sheet, a heating wire or a PTC heating body, which is not limited here.
[0062] Since the pet cleaning device 100 has both the hair removal function and the blowing function, it has more functions. In order to avoid the size of the pet cleaning device 100 being too large, the pet cleaning device 100 further comprises a housing 7 connected to one side of the fan assembly 2. Specifically, the housing 7 is connected to the bottom of the fan assembly 2, and the housing cavity of the housing 7 can cover the air inlet end and the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2, so as to connect and seal the fan assembly 2 and the base 1. At least part of the second air flow passage 42 extends into the housing 7 and communicates with the air inlet end of the fan assembly 2. The second air flow passage 42 communicates the air outlet 312 of the dust cup 31 and the air inlet end of the fan assembly 2, and part of the second air flow passage 42 is accommodated in the housing 7, so that the structure of the whole pet cleaning device 100 is more compact, and the size is smaller.
[0063] Further, the second partition 71 is arranged in the shell 7, and the second partition 71 divides the inside of the shell 7 into a first cavity and a second cavity. When the adjusting structure 5 is in the first working state, the first cavity is communicated with the first through hole 5111 and the air inlet 311, and the second cavity is communicated with the air outlet end of the fan assembly and the second air outlet hole 5112. When the adjusting structure 5 is in the second working state, the first through hole 5111 is blocked from the first cavity, and the second cavity is communicated with the first through hole 5111 and the air outlet end of the fan assembly 2. The shell 7 also has a connecting channel communicated with the air inlet end of the fan assembly 2 and the first cavity. The connecting channel and the first cavity jointly form the first airflow passage 41, so that the shell 7 forms a part of the airflow passage 4, thereby making the layout of the airflow passage 4 more compact and occupying less space.
