Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pet supplies technology, and in particular to a quick-drying and cleaning device for pets after bathing. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing pet ownership rate, daily pet grooming has become one of the core needs of pet owners, and the drying process after bathing directly affects the pet's health and comfort. Currently, pet drying methods on the market are mainly divided into two categories: manual drying and simple drying equipment. Manual drying mostly relies on handheld operation with a hair dryer, which not only consumes a lot of time and energy, but also the concentrated hot air can easily cause local skin burns to the pet. At the same time, the pet may struggle due to fear during the drying process, increasing the difficulty of operation, and may also cause hair to fly and the environment to become dirty. Simple drying equipment is mostly designed with a single opening, such as only a front opening or a top opening, and the opening size is generally small, making it inconvenient for the pet to get in and out, and easily causing the pet to resist. The pet's resistance and struggle can easily lead to improper operation and damage to the equipment, failing to balance convenience and safety. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a pet quick drying and cleaning device after bathing.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A pet quick-drying and cleaning device after bathing includes a housing and a drying chamber disposed within the housing. The front end and upper end of the housing are respectively provided with a front opening and an upper opening that are connected to each other. A front cover plate that can open or close the front opening is hinged to the front opening, and an upper cover plate that can open or close the upper opening is hinged to the upper opening. The front cover plate includes a front hinge shaft that is rotatably disposed below the front opening. The upper cover plate includes an upper hinge shaft that is rotatably disposed behind the upper opening. A transmission mechanism is connected within the housing and located between the front hinge shaft and the upper hinge shaft. When the upper hinge shaft rotates, the transmission mechanism can drive the front hinge shaft to rotate simultaneously, thereby causing the upper cover plate and the front cover plate to open or close simultaneously.

[0006] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism includes a front gear disposed at one end of the front hinge shaft, an upper gear disposed at one end of the upper hinge shaft, a first transmission shaft and a second transmission shaft disposed within the housing, a first large gear and a first small gear disposed on the first transmission shaft, a second large gear and a second small gear disposed on the second transmission shaft, the first large gear and the second large gear meshing with each other, a first synchronous toothed belt connected and sleeved between the first small gear and the front gear, and a second synchronous toothed belt connected and sleeved between the second small gear and the upper gear.

[0007] In some embodiments, both the upper cover plate and the front cover plate are provided with sealing rings on their edges, and when the upper cover plate and the front cover plate are in a closed closed state, the upper end of the front cover plate abuts against the upper cover plate.

[0008] In some embodiments, a locking device is also provided on the housing, which is used to lock the upper cover plate to keep it in a closed position.

[0009] In some embodiments, the locking device includes a groove provided on the housing, a stop block sliding in the groove, the outer end of the stop block extending out of the drying chamber and used to restrict the upper cover from flipping upward, the inner end of the stop block being provided with a toggle plate extending upward to the top of the housing, and a spring connecting the inner end of the stop block and the inner wall of the groove.

[0010] In some embodiments, the upper end cover plate is provided with a handle through hole at the end away from the upper hinge shaft.

[0011] In some embodiments, a transparent observation plate is provided on both the upper cover plate and the front cover plate.

[0012] In some embodiments, a ventilation chamber shell is provided inside the box and located at the rear side of the drying chamber. An air inlet communicating with the ventilation chamber shell is provided at the rear end of the box. A rear air outlet communicating with the ventilation chamber shell is provided on the inner wall of the drying chamber. A fan assembly and a heating assembly are also provided inside the ventilation chamber shell.

[0013] In some embodiments, side air outlets are provided on both the left and right sides of the drying chamber, and both side air outlets are connected to the ventilation chamber shell through side air outlet ducts.

[0014] In some embodiments, a plurality of support feet are also provided at the bottom of the housing.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] 1. Firstly, the interconnected design of the front and top openings breaks the area limitation of traditional single openings, significantly increasing the opening area for pets to enter the drying chamber and forming a large through-type entrance at the front and top. This solves the problems of crowding, jamming, resistance, and struggle caused by the single, narrow opening of traditional simple equipment. Medium and large pets can easily enter without being forced to squeeze in, reducing resistance.

[0017] 2. Correspondingly configured front cover and upper cover, the transmission mechanism enables the linkage opening and closing of the two. There is no need to operate the two covers separately. Just rotate one of the hinge shafts to control the overall opening and closing of the connecting opening synchronously. This simplifies the operation steps, saves operation time, and greatly improves the ease of use. It is especially suitable for scenarios where one is taking care of pets alone or needs to quickly complete the drying preparation. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The following detailed description provides various embodiments or examples for carrying out the present invention. Of course, these are merely embodiments or examples and are not intended to be limiting. Additionally, repeated reference numerals, such as repeated numbers and / or letters, may be used in different embodiments. These repetitions are for the purpose of simple and clear description of the invention and do not represent a specific relationship between the different embodiments and / or structures discussed.

[0024] like Figures 1-5The illustrated pet quick-drying and cleaning device after bathing includes a housing 1 and a drying chamber 2 disposed within the housing 1. Several support feet 10 are also provided at the bottom of the housing 1. A front opening 3 and a top opening 4 are respectively provided at the front and top ends of the housing 1. A front cover 5, which can open or close the front opening 3, is hinged to the front opening 3. An upper cover 6, which can open or close the upper opening 4, is hinged to the upper opening 4. The front cover 5 includes a front hinge shaft 7, which is rotatably disposed below the front opening 3. The upper cover 6 includes an upper hinge shaft 8, which is rotatably disposed behind the upper opening 3. A transmission mechanism is connected within the housing 1 between the front hinge shaft 7 and the upper hinge shaft 8. When the upper hinge shaft 8 rotates, the transmission mechanism can drive the front hinge shaft 7 to rotate simultaneously, thereby opening or closing the upper cover 6 and the front cover 5 simultaneously.

[0025] When the user needs to place the pet into the drying chamber 2, simply operate the upper hinge shaft 8 of the upper cover 6, i.e., flip the upper cover 6 upwards. Since the upper hinge shaft 8 and the front hinge shaft 7 are connected by a transmission mechanism, the rotation of the upper hinge shaft 8 will be synchronously transmitted to the front hinge shaft 7 through the transmission mechanism, driving the front cover 5 to flip downwards around the front hinge shaft 7. At this time, the previously interconnected front opening 3 and upper opening 4 will be fully opened simultaneously, forming a large-sized entrance that connects the front and upper ends, facilitating the pet's entry into the drying chamber 2 from multiple directions. After the pet enters the chamber, operate the upper hinge shaft 8 in the opposite direction, i.e., flip the upper cover downwards. The transmission mechanism will drive the front hinge shaft 7 to rotate synchronously in the opposite direction, causing the upper cover 6 and the front cover 5 to close the upper opening 4 and the front opening 3 respectively, thus sealing the drying chamber 2.

[0026] Thus, the upper cover plate 6 and the front cover plate 5 are synchronously linked through the transmission mechanism. Users do not need to operate the two covers separately. They only need to control the upper hinge shaft 8 to complete the overall opening and closing of the opening. This completely solves the cumbersome problem of traditional equipment requiring separate operation of multiple openings. It greatly saves the preparation time for pets to enter and exit the cavity, and is especially suitable for scenarios where pets are kept alone and need to be washed and groomed efficiently.

[0027] By connecting the front opening 3 with the upper opening 4, and with the linkage opening and closing structure, a large through entrance is formed that far exceeds the traditional single opening, completely breaking the spatial limitation of a single opening; ensuring that there is no obstruction when the opening is open, medium and large pets can easily enter and exit without squeezing, and pets with sensitive personalities and resistance to restraint can also reduce their struggle due to the wide entrance and no sense of restraint, making it suitable for pets of different sizes and personalities.

[0028] See Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the transmission mechanism includes a front gear 21 at one end of the front hinge shaft 7, an upper gear 22 at one end of the upper hinge shaft 8, a first transmission shaft 23 and a second transmission shaft 24 inside the housing 1, a first large gear 25 and a first small gear 26 on the first transmission shaft 23, and a second large gear 27 and a second small gear 28 on the second transmission shaft 24. The first large gear 25 and the second large gear 27 mesh with each other. A first synchronous toothed belt 29 is connected and sleeved between the first small gear 26 and the front gear 21, and a second synchronous toothed belt 210 is connected and sleeved between the second small gear 28 and the upper gear 22.

[0029] When the user operates the upper hinge shaft 8 of the upper cover plate 6 (flipping upwards to open or downwards to close), the upper hinge shaft 8 will drive the upper gear 22 fixed at one end to rotate synchronously. Since the upper gear 22 is connected to the second pinion 28 on the second transmission shaft 24 via the second synchronous toothed belt 210, the rotation of the upper gear 22 is precisely transmitted to the second pinion 28 through the second synchronous toothed belt 210, thereby driving the second transmission shaft 24 to rotate as a whole. When the second transmission shaft 24 rotates, the second large gear 27 fixed on it will rotate synchronously. Since the second large gear 27 meshes with the first large gear 25 on the first transmission shaft 23, the gear meshing achieves the reversal of power direction and speed matching. The rotation of the second large gear 27 will drive the first large gear 25 and the first transmission shaft 23 to rotate synchronously. When the first transmission shaft 23 rotates, the first pinion 26 fixed on it will rotate synchronously. The first pinion 26 is connected to the front gear 21 at one end of the front hinge shaft 7 via the first synchronous toothed belt 29. Power is transmitted to the front gear 21 via the first synchronous toothed belt 29, driving the front hinge shaft 7 to rotate synchronously. Finally, the rotation of the upper hinge shaft 8, through the complete transmission link of "upper gear → second synchronous toothed belt → second pinion → second drive shaft → second large gear → first large gear → first drive shaft → first pinion → first synchronous toothed belt → front gear", synchronously drives the upper cover plate 6 and the front cover plate 5 to open or close, ensuring the consistency of their actions.

[0030] See Figure 1 As shown, both the upper cover plate 6 and the front cover plate 5 are provided with sealing rings on their edges, and when the upper cover plate 6 and the front cover plate 5 are in the closed closed state, the upper end of the front cover plate 5 abuts against the upper cover plate 6.

[0031] Driven by the transmission mechanism, when the upper cover plate 6 and the front cover plate 5 rotate synchronously in the closing direction, since the front cover plate 5 is hinged to the lower side of the front opening 3 and the upper cover plate 6 is hinged to the rear side of the upper opening 4, and the movement trajectories of the two are preset, when the cover plate is about to be completely closed, the upper edge of the front cover plate 5 will precisely abut against the corresponding contact surface of the upper cover plate 6, and the sealing performance will be improved by the sealing ring.

[0032] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, a locking device is also provided on the housing 1, which is used to lock the upper cover 6 and keep it in a closed state.

[0033] Furthermore, the locking device includes a slide groove 51 provided on the housing 1, a stop block 52 sliding in the slide groove 51, the outer end of the stop block 52 extending out of the drying chamber 2 and used to restrict the upper cover plate 6 from flipping upward, the inner end of the stop block 52 is provided with a toggle plate 53, the toggle plate 53 extends upward to the top of the housing 1, and a spring 54 is connected between the inner end of the stop block 52 and the inner wall of the slide groove 51.

[0034] When the upper cover 6 closes synchronously with the front cover 5 under the drive of the transmission mechanism, the upper cover 6 flips downward to completely close the upper opening 4, and the upper end of the front cover 5 abuts against the upper cover 6 to achieve a sealed positioning. At this time, because the stop block 52, under the elastic force of the spring 54, always maintains the tendency to extend outward to the outside of the slide groove 51, the lower side of the outer end of the stop block 52 will precisely abut against the corresponding limit position of the upper cover 6, forming a mechanical block and restricting the upward flipping action of the upper cover 6. Because the upper cover 6 and the front cover 5 are linked through the transmission mechanism, after the upper cover 6 is locked, the front cover 5 cannot be rotated in the opposite direction to open, ultimately achieving synchronous locking of the two covers and ensuring that the drying chamber 2 remains closed and sealed.

[0035] When drying is complete and the lid needs to be opened, the user simply needs to move the actuating plate 53 extending to the top of the cabinet 1 away from the upper lid 6. The actuating plate 53 causes the stop block 52 to slide inward along the slide groove 51, compressing the spring 54. At this time, the outer end of the stop block 52 disengages from the limiting position of the upper lid 6, releasing the obstruction of the upper lid 6. Subsequently, the user operates to flip the upper lid 6 upward, and the transmission mechanism drives both lids to open simultaneously, allowing the pet to enter and exit smoothly.

[0036] To facilitate flipping the upper cover plate 6, a handle through hole 61 is provided at the end of the upper cover plate 6 away from the upper hinge shaft 8.

[0037] In this invention, both the upper cover plate 6 and the front cover plate 5 are provided with transparent observation plates 71.

[0038] The transparent observation panel 71 provides users with a full-view observation channel inside the drying chamber 2, allowing them to clearly monitor their pet's movements without opening the cover.

[0039] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a ventilation chamber shell 81 is provided inside the housing 1 and located at the rear side of the drying chamber 2. An air inlet 82 communicating with the ventilation chamber shell 81 is provided at the rear end of the housing 1. A rear air outlet 83 communicating with the ventilation chamber shell 81 is provided on the inner wall of the drying chamber 2. A fan assembly and a heating assembly are also provided inside the ventilation chamber shell 81.

[0040] Furthermore, side air outlets 91 are provided on both the left and right sides of the drying chamber 2, and both side air outlets 91 are connected to the ventilation chamber shell 81 through side air outlet ducts 92.

[0041] When the drying function is activated, the fan assembly inside the ventilation chamber shell 81 starts working, generating negative pressure suction. Outside air is drawn into the ventilation chamber shell 81 through the air inlet 82 at the rear of the housing 1. After entering, the airflow first passes through the built-in heating components (such as heating wires or PTC heaters) and is heated to the preset drying temperature, forming a stable warm airflow. The heated warm airflow forms positive pressure inside the ventilation chamber shell 81 and is output in multiple directions through two paths: one is directly blown to the rear through the rear air outlet 83 on the inner wall of the drying chamber 2; the other is diverted to the side air outlets 91 on the left and right sides of the drying chamber 2 through the side air outlets 92 on both sides.

[0042] Compared to traditional single-outlet devices, the multi-directional airflow design on the rear and left and right sides increases the coverage area of ​​warm airflow to over 180°, allowing the airflow to directly reach all of the pet's fur (including easily overlooked areas such as the back, abdomen, limbs, and armpits), avoiding dead zones.
