Example

[0023] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , this embodiment provides a multifunctional pet washing and care machine that can be used to wash and care for a pet's hair.

[0024] The multifunctional pet washing and care machine provided in this embodiment includes a washing table 100 and integrated therein with a wet cleaning system 200, a dry cleaning system 300, and a drying system 400. The washing table 100 is used to support the pet during washing and may be provided with a water tank 110 to collect water that drips from washing. The wet cleaning system 200 performs wet washing (water washing) of the pet's hair, the dry cleaning system 300 performs dry cleaning of the pet's hair, and the drying system 400 dries the pet's hair.

[0025] Furthermore, an electric control box 120 is provided on one side of the cleaning operation table 100 . A controller is provided in the electric control box 120 . The controller is used to control the operation of the wet cleaning system 200 , the dry cleaning system 300 and the drying system 400 .

[0026] Please refer to Figure 5The wet cleaning system 200 includes a wet cleaning water tank 210, a wet cleaning water supply module 220, and a wet cleaning nozzle 230. The wet cleaning nozzle 230 is mounted on the cleaning operation platform 100 and connected to the wet cleaning water tank 210 via the wet cleaning water supply module 220 via a first hose. It will be understood that the wet cleaning water tank 210 may store water for cleaning and maintenance. The wet cleaning water supply module 220 draws water from the wet cleaning water tank 210 and delivers it to the wet cleaning nozzle 230, allowing the wet cleaning nozzle 230 to perform the wet cleaning operation. The first hose provides the wet cleaning nozzle 230 with the necessary freedom of movement.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 6 The dry cleaning system 300 includes a dry cleaning water tank 310, an aerosol generator 320, a first air supply module 330, and a dry cleaning nozzle 340. The aerosol generator 320 is located within the dry cleaning water tank 310. The dry cleaning nozzle 340 is located on the cleaning workbench 100 and connected to the dry cleaning water tank 310 via a second hose and the first air supply module 330. It will be understood that the dry cleaning water tank 310 can store water for washing and care, and the aerosol generator 320 can vaporize or atomize the water in the dry cleaning water tank 310 to form an aerosol. The first air supply module 330 can transport the generated aerosol to the dry cleaning nozzle 340, which performs dry cleaning on the pet's hair. The second hose provides the dry cleaning nozzle 340 with the necessary freedom of movement.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 7 The drying system 400 includes a drying execution module 410, a second air supply module 420, and a drying nozzle 430. The drying nozzle 430 is mounted on the washing table 100 and connected to the drying execution module 410 via a third hose through the second air supply module 420. The drying execution module 410 heats the airflow delivered from the second air supply module 420 to the drying nozzle 430, causing the drying nozzle 430 to spray hot air to dry the pet hair.

[0029] The multifunctional pet washing and care machine provided in this embodiment integrates a wet washing system 200, a dry washing system 300 and a drying system 400 on a washing operation table 100; when the pet needs to be wet washed, the wet washing system 200 supplies water in the wet washing water tank 210 to the wet washing nozzle 230 through the wet washing water supply module 220, so that the wet washing nozzle 230 sprays water to wash the pet's hair; when the pet needs to be dry washed, the aerosol generator 320 is in the dry washing water tank 310. 0, which is then delivered by the first air supply module 330 to the dry cleaning nozzle 340. The dry cleaning nozzle 340 then uses the aerosol to dry clean the pet. During dry cleaning, the pet's hair is less moist than during wet cleaning, saving subsequent drying time. When the pet's hair needs to be dried, the drying execution module 410 heats the airflow delivered by the second air supply module 420, causing the drying nozzle 430 to spray hot air to dry the pet's moist hair. In this way, the multifunctional pet washing and care machine provided in this embodiment implements three washing and care modes: wet cleaning, dry cleaning, and drying. This provides diversified washing and care that can meet the washing and care needs of different pets. In particular, the dry cleaning mode can be used for washing and care of pets that are not suitable for frequent water washing or require partial hair cleaning. Furthermore, the pet's hair after washing and care is less moist than after wet cleaning, significantly shortening the drying time.

[0030] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The multifunctional pet washing and care machine also includes a suction system 500, which is connected to at least one of the wet cleaning nozzle 230, the dry cleaning nozzle 340 and the drying nozzle 430 through a suction branch pipe, and is used to provide suction during the washing and care process to suck back excess water or hair during washing and care to prevent water dripping.

[0031] In this embodiment, the suction system 500 is connected to the suction ports provided on the corresponding wet cleaning nozzle 230, dry cleaning nozzle 340, and drying nozzle 430 through suction branches. This allows for the timely removal of excess water and shed hair during the wet and dry cleaning processes, and also allows for the absorption of residual water and shed hair during the drying process.

[0032] Further, in order to distinguish the description, the air suction port on the wet cleaning nozzle 230 is defined as the wet cleaning air suction port 2320a (such as Figure 10 As shown in FIG), the air suction port on the dry cleaning nozzle 340 is the dry cleaning air suction port 3421a (as shown in FIG). Figure 11 As shown), the air suction port on the drying nozzle 430 is the drying air suction port 434 (as shown Figure 8 shown).

[0033] Specifically, the suction system 500 includes a suction fan 510, a water collecting tank 520 and a hair collector 530. The suction fan 510, the water collecting tank 520 and the hair collector 530 are connected in sequence through a suction pipe. The air inlet of the hair collector 530 is respectively connected to the wet cleaning suction port 2320a, the dry cleaning suction port 3421a and the drying suction port 434 set on the corresponding wet cleaning nozzle 230, the dry cleaning nozzle 340 and the drying nozzle 430.

[0034] When washing and caring for the pet, the suction fan 510 can be started. The suction fan 510 forms a negative pressure in the suction duct, and the wet cleaning suction port 2320a, the dry cleaning suction port 3421a or the drying suction port 434 absorbs water (water vapor) and hair. The absorbed water and hair will first pass through the hair collector 530 to separate the hair from the water, and the water will further enter the water collection tank 520 for collection.

[0035] The water collecting tank 520 may be provided with a sewage level sensor 540 to determine the sewage level in the water collecting tank 520 , and to start drainage when the level reaches a preset height to prevent water from overflowing.

[0036] The suction pipe between the suction fan 510 and the water collection tank 520 is also equipped with a suction flow sensor 550, a suction regulating valve 560, and a suction filter 570. The suction flow sensor 550 is used to detect the gas flow signal in the suction pipe in real time to determine whether the suction filter 570 is clogged. The suction regulating valve 560 can adjust the suction flow rate. Optionally, the suction fan 510 can be an air pump.

[0037] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the suction system 500 further includes a suction hood 580, which is mounted on the washing table 100 via a universal movable arm 590. The universal movable arm 590 supports the suction hood 580 on the table. The suction hood 580 is trumpet-shaped and positioned above the table, increasing the suction range. This allows hair that flies off during the washing process to be quickly sucked away, preventing it from scattering. The universal movable arm 590 has the freedom to swing up and down and left and right.

[0038] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5The wet-wash water supply module 220 includes a front regulating check valve 221, a water pump 222, a rear regulating check valve 223, a water flow sensor 224, a solenoid-controlled water flow regulating valve 225, and a manual water flow regulating valve 226, all connected in sequence via a water supply pipeline. The front regulating check valve 221 is connected to the outlet of the wet-wash water tank 210, while the outlet of the manual water flow regulating valve 226 is connected to the wet-wash nozzle 230 via a first hose. Thus, by activating the water pump 222, the cleaning water in the wet-wash water tank 210 is pumped to the wet-wash nozzle 230. The water flow sensor 224 is used to detect the water flow in the water supply pipeline, while the solenoid-controlled water flow regulating valve 225 and the manual water flow regulating valve 226 are both used to adjust the water flow in the water supply pipeline.

[0039] Furthermore, the wet-washing system 200 also includes a first ionizer 240, which includes a first electrode sheet disposed in the wet-washing water tank 210. The first electrode sheet is used to electrolyze the washing water in the wet-washing water tank 210 to generate ionized water, which is then incorporated into the water in the wet-washing water tank 210 to form ionized water. It is understood that the ionized water formed by the mixing of oxidizing ions from the electrolysis-generated ions with the aerosol can quickly kill various microorganisms in the hair, degrade harmful gases, remove odors, and improve the washing and care effect.

[0040] In this embodiment, a heater 250 for heating the washing water is further provided in the wet washing water tank 210. The heater 250 can heat the water in the wet washing water tank 210 to ensure that a suitable water temperature is provided to the pet during washing.

[0041] In some embodiments, the wet wash water tank 210 is provided with at least two independent water storage chambers 211. The water outlet of each water storage chamber 211 is connected to the wet wash water supply module 220 via a water outlet switching valve. At least one water storage chamber 211 is provided with a heater 250 for heating the wash water. In this embodiment, both water storage chambers 211 are equipped with a first ion generator 240 and a heater 250. The two water storage chambers 211 provide one for use and one for backup, preventing water shortages during the wash process and responding to emergencies.

[0042] Furthermore, the wet washing water tank 210 is provided with a first water inlet 212 and a first drain port 213. The first drain port 213 is provided at the lowest position of the wet washing water tank 210 so as to drain the water in the wet washing water tank 210 smoothly. The first drain port 213 is also provided with a first drain valve 2130.

[0043] The first water inlet 212 can be connected to an external water injection system (not shown), which can inject washing water into the dry wash water tank 310. The wet wash water tank 210 is also equipped with a first low liquid level sensor 214, a first high liquid level sensor 215, and a first limit liquid level sensor 216, arranged from bottom to top. These sensors monitor the liquid level in the wet wash water tank 210 in real time. The first water inlet 212 is also equipped with a first water injection solenoid valve 2120. When the liquid level in the wet wash water tank 210 reaches the low level, the first water injection solenoid valve 2120 opens. When the liquid level in the wet wash water tank 210 reaches the high level, the first water injection solenoid valve 2120 closes. When the liquid level in the wet wash water tank 210 reaches the limit, the washing system issues an alarm, prompting personnel to perform maintenance.

[0044] In some embodiments, the first water inlet 212 is also provided with a first water injection manual valve 2121 and a first water supply filter 2122. The first water supply filter 2122 is used to filter impurities in the supplied water. The first water injection manual valve 2121 can manually control the water injection switch to cope with inspection and maintenance conditions and emergencies.

[0045] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the multifunctional pet cleaning and care machine further includes an air supply system 600. The air supply pipe of the air supply system 600 is connected to the wet cleaning nozzle 230 and is used to supply air to the air jet holes 2322a provided on the wet cleaning nozzle 230. The air jets from the air jet holes 2322a disperse the water flow from the water spray holes 2322a provided on the wet cleaning nozzle 230, causing the water flow to quickly spread around the hair. This not only saves the amount of water required for wetting and cleaning, but also saves the time required for wetting and cleaning. At the same time, the air suction system 500 activates the air suction system, sucking back the water around the hair through the wet cleaning suction port 2320a provided on the wet cleaning nozzle 230. This effectively prevents water from dripping, reduces the wetness of the hair after washing, and saves subsequent drying time and reduces the difficulty of drying.

[0046] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The air supply system 600 includes an air supply filter 610, an air supply pump 620, an air supply regulating solenoid valve 630, and an air supply flow sensor 640, which are sequentially connected via a third air supply pipeline. The air supply filter 610 is located upstream of the air supply pump 620 and is used to filter the inhaled air. The air inhaled by the air supply pump 620 can pass through the air supply regulating solenoid valve 630 and the air supply flow sensor 640 in sequence before entering the wet cleaning nozzle 230. The air supply regulating solenoid valve 630 can adjust the air flow in the air supply pipeline, and the air supply flow sensor 640 can detect the air flow in the air supply pipeline in real time.

[0047] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 The dry-cleaning water tank 310 is provided with an exhaust port 311 and a second water inlet 312. The second water inlet 312 can be connected to an external water injection system, which can inject washing water into the dry-cleaning water tank 310.

[0066] Compared with the prior art, the multifunctional pet washing and care machine provided in this embodiment has the following advantages: 1. Eliminate allergic reactions. Currently, pet cleaning products on the market still rely on chemical detergents as cleaning materials. The multifunctional pet cleaning machine provided in this embodiment uses ionic fluid technology to replace traditional chemical detergents, eliminating the problem of skin allergic reactions caused by pet cleaning.

[0067] 2. Prevent pets from getting burned. Traditional drying processes use direct air blowing, which can easily lead to localized high temperatures. The multifunctional pet washing and care machine provided in this embodiment incorporates vortex heat flow technology, employing a circular three-dimensional air duct that swirls hot air around the pet's hair, eliminating the localized high-temperature spots associated with traditional direct air blowing. This "variable temperature heat flow" technology ensures a comfortable warmth in areas contacting the pet's skin, while quickly drying the hair area at high temperatures, preventing skin damage.

[0068] 3. Reduce pet stress. Traditional drying methods use a blower that is too close to the pet, generating excessively high decibels. In the multifunctional pet washing and care machine provided in this embodiment, the second air supply module 420 can be placed inside the washing table 100 and can be wrapped with high-polymer sound-absorbing cotton. Furthermore, the vortex heat absorption technology itself has low noise levels, reducing the decibel level during the drying process to below 40 decibels, significantly reducing pet stress.

[0069] 4. Adaptable to multiple cleaning scenarios. Currently, most pet cleaning machines on the market offer only wet cleaning or drying. The multifunctional pet cleaning machine provided in this embodiment adds a dry cleaning mode. It utilizes oxidizing ions and charged aerosols in ionized air (dry cleaning mode provides ionized air) or ionized water (wet cleaning mode provides ionized water) to rapidly kill microorganisms, degrade harmful gases, and remove odors. Reducing ions also repair damaged and split ends, smoothing and enhancing hair's shine. Most importantly, it provides thorough cleaning in a short time. Even when a pet is injured or cold, the dry cleaning mode can achieve the desired cleaning effect.

[0070] 5. The multifunctional pet washing and care machine provided in this embodiment integrates the modular integrated design of "wet cleaning + dry cleaning + drying" functions, reducing multiple redundant steps such as manual rinsing, manual drying, combing, etc. in traditional washing and care, greatly shortening the washing and care time, and significantly reducing the anxiety caused by long-term washing and care for pets.
