Description

Technical Field The utility model relates to an animal management device, in particular to a pet drying machine. Background Art

[0001] The pet dryer in the prior art is a blower and a heating device arranged in a box. For example, in the Chinese invention patent application entitled "A Pet Dryer" (application number 202311289804.3), the inner cavity of the box is divided into two accommodating chambers by a partition, and the blower is installed in the through hole of the partition and is respectively connected to the first accommodating chamber and the second accommodating chamber, and the air duct is respectively connected to the air outlet end of the blower and the first accommodating chamber, and a heater is arranged in the air duct, so that the wind blown out from the air outlet end of the blower can be heated by the heater into hot air and enter the first accommodating chamber through the air duct to dry the pet hair in the first accommodating chamber. At the same time, the air inlet end of the blower absorbs the hot air in the first accommodating chamber and re-enters the first accommodating chamber through the air outlet end and the air duct in turn, thereby forming an air circulation. That is, the air circulation of such pet dryers in the prior art is an internal circulation in the box, and its shortcomings include the following aspects:

[0002] 1. Hypoxia problem: Existing pet dryers use an internal circulation design, which leads to insufficient oxygen supply in the box, which may threaten the health of pets.

[0003] 2. Humidity problem: With the existing design of hair dryers, water vapor on the pet's body cannot be quickly removed, resulting in high humidity inside the box, making it difficult for the hair to dry quickly. The drying time is generally longer, further increasing the risk of hypoxia.

[0004] 3. Noise and emotional issues: Existing hair dryers generate more than 70 decibels of noise when in operation. The five-sided closed and opaque environment (left, right, top, bottom, and back) may have an adverse effect on the emotional stability of pets, especially for cats. Stress response is a potential danger. In most drying boxes on the market, cats can be observed scratching the door frantically and howling continuously during use.

[0005] 4. The problem of the average temperature inside the box being too high: The closed and internal circulation design will evenly heat the inside of the box to a higher temperature. From the perspective of heat radiation, the temperature felt by the pet from top to bottom in the box is consistent. When the drying temperature is set higher (for example, greater than or equal to 40 degrees Celsius), this will further affect the health and mood of the pet in the box.

[0006] 4. Drying effect problem: The bottom of the existing drying box is generally flat, and when the pet stands against the wall, the hair on one side of the pet's body cannot be dried evenly. In addition, since the drying box circulates hot air in the box and mainly dries by rising temperature, the pet's hair cannot be blown away. After drying, the hair is still in a state of clumping, caking or sticking.

[0007] 5. Air duct design issues: The air duct design of existing pet dryers limits the performance of the fan, causing the fan to generate loud noise and consume high power to provide sufficient air volume, while limiting the optimization of the drying effect.

[0008] 6. Cleaning problem: The design of existing pet dryers limits the cleaning of the box, because except for the transparent door, other surfaces of the box cannot be easily cleaned. It usually requires the use of tools such as rags for cleaning, and cannot be fully washed with water.

[0009] At the same time, since the fan and heating device of this type of drying box are located inside the box, the volume is usually large, which often causes waste of space when not in use; even if the front door can be removed to use as a cat bed, it will make it difficult to store the removed parts, causing inconvenience to the user.

[0010] Furthermore, pet blow dryers are usually larger, which increases the costs in terms of shipping logistics and technical after-sales processing. Summary of the invention

[0034] Now, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a preferred embodiment of the present utility model is described in detail.

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 11 A new type of pet dryer comprises a box 1 and a base 2 for placing pets, wherein a groove 21 matching with the bottom 13 of the box is provided in the middle of the base 2, and the bottom 13 of the box is embedded in the groove 21 of the base; a vent 130 is provided on the bottom 13 of the box, and a gap is left between the bottom 13 of the box and the groove 21 of the base to form a ventilation duct 28; at least one fan chamber 22 for installing a fan is provided in the cavity between the base shell wall and the groove wall, an air inlet 20 is provided on the base shell wall where the fan chamber 22 is located, and an air outlet 26 is provided on the groove wall where the fan chamber is located; the air outlet 26 of the fan chamber faces the box vent 130; an exhaust port 10 is provided on the top and each side wall of the box 1.

[0036] A heating component 4 is also installed in the fan chamber, which is arranged between the fan chamber air inlet 20 and the fan air inlet, and is used to heat the air flowing into the fan chamber and then blow it to the box vent 130 through the fan and then enter the box.

[0037] See also Figures 1 to 5A fan room can be provided at both ends of the base, and cross-flow fans can be installed respectively. Two fans 3 simultaneously draw external air, which is heated by the heating assembly 4 and then blown into the box through the vent 130 at the bottom of the box.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in this example, the hair dryer adopts an external circulation air duct: the fan 3 draws air outside the hair dryer, and after being heated by the heating component 4, it is blown out from the air outlet 260, flows along the ventilation duct 28 between the bottom of the box and the groove to the ventilation hole 130 at the bottom of the box, and then enters the box 1. The air flowing into the box is directly discharged to the outside of the box through the exhaust port 10 of the box after passing through the surface of the pet's body, thereby effectively preventing most of the water vapor from being retained in the box and accelerating the drying speed. Moreover, the air outlet of the fan is a vent that blows directly to the bottom of the box, which reduces unnecessary duct bends, reduces local pressure loss and stroke pressure loss, and thus increases the air intake into the box.

[0039] In this example, the fan room air inlet 20, the box vent 130 and the box exhaust 10 can be a porous structure, a grid structure, a fence structure or a combination of the above structures. In order to achieve a better ventilation effect, the top, front, rear, left and right shell walls of the box 1 are provided with exhaust vents 10 of different areas; in this example, the total area of ​​the air inlet 20 of the base fan room is Q, the total area of ​​the box exhaust vent 10 is Z, and the total area Z of the box exhaust vent is not less than the total area Q of the base air inlet. This design can reasonably adjust the heat dissipation effect in the box, so that the temperature of the middle and upper part of the box is stably lower than the temperature of the base outlet by 3-5°C, that is, the best ventilation effect. In this case, the drying effect is theoretically the best. By arranging exhaust vents 10 of different areas on the top, front, rear, left and right shell walls of the box body 1, the area of ​​the exhaust vents 20 of the box body decreases from the top of the box body to the bottom, thereby controlling the air volume of each part, and then controlling the heat dissipation speed at different positions in the box body, so that the pet can feel a more comfortable ambient temperature at the head position when standing in the box.

[0040] See also Figures 4 to 9 At the bottom of the groove 21, between the air outlet 26 of the fan chamber and the box vent 130, a wedge-shaped air guide block 8 can be placed. The upper part of the wedge-shaped air guide block 8 is a sloped windward slope 81. The bottom 810 of the windward slope 81 of the air guide block 8 is located at the air outlet 26 of the fan chamber, and the top 811 of the windward slope 81 is close to the box vent 130. The wind blown out by the fan passes through the windward slope 81 of the air guide block and blows into the box, directing the local flowing air more directly to the side of the pet's body. The slope surface of the windward slope 81 can be a flat surface or a curved surface; see Figure 8 and Fig. 9By changing the inclination angle θ of the windward slope and / or the slope length L, air guide blocks with different slopes can be obtained. By placing different air guide blocks, the wind directions blowing into the box can be different to meet the blowing needs of different pets in different scenarios.

[0041] See also Figures 4 to 5 The bottom 13 of the box adopts a special net bag design, that is, the bottom 13 of the box is an arc structure that is concave toward its center point. The bottom of this arc structure forces the pet to stand only in the middle of the box during the blow-drying process and cannot stand near the corners of the box, thereby improving the blow-drying efficiency.

[0042] See also Figure 3 A skylight 15 made of transparent material is arranged on the top of the box, and the area of ​​the skylight 15 is not less than 35% of the total area of ​​the top of the box. The large skylight allows the pet to have a wide field of vision when looking up in the box, which has a soothing effect.

[0043] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11 A soothing window 19 is provided on one side wall of the box 1; one side of the window door 191 of the soothing window is hinged on the soothing window; when the window door 191 is turned 180 degrees and fully opened, the window door handle 192 can be snapped into the corresponding buckle 193 of the box wall to fix the opened window door on the box wall. At this time, the soothing window 29 is open and can be used as an entrance to a pet nest. In this way, when there is no need to blow dry, there is no need to disassemble the window door, and the blow dryer can be used as a pet nest, which is a dual-purpose machine and improves the utilization rate of the product. The window door can also be fixed when it is open by installing magnets at the corresponding positions of the window door and the box body.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the blow dryer in this embodiment adopts external circulation, and the air inlet of the blower faces the outside of the blow dryer, which fundamentally solves the problems of hypoxia and humidity caused by internal circulation. This ensures sufficient oxygen supply and effective water vapor removal, and improves the safety of pets and drying efficiency.

[0045] The curved surface design of the bottom of the dryer box prevents the pet from standing against the wall during the drying process, and eventually returns to the center of the box. The position of the fan and the air outlet design minimize pressure loss, ensuring that the pet's hair can be dried evenly and finally appear fluffy, which is very different from the effect of traditional drying boxes.

[0046] The hair dryer is divided into two parts: a box and a base. All electronic components such as the fan, heating component and control circuit are installed on the base, which effectively reduces the noise level. Tests have shown that pets behave more stably in such a box, reducing the risk of stress response.

[0047] The fan is installed on the base, and the air outlet of the fan blows directly to the bottom of the box, thereby increasing the air volume, reducing unnecessary air duct bends, and reducing the noise level. This design performs better under the same air volume. The air duct is adjusted through the air guide block to change the air inlet direction, so that stronger wind is blown into the sides of the body of some long-haired pets, which will have a better drying effect.

[0048] Since the box body is completely separated from the base, the box body can be completely washed, and the base does not come into direct contact with the pet, so it is also very convenient to clean. This simplifies the cleaning process and improves the hygiene standard.

[0049] The box body and the base are designed to be detachable, which has an advantage in after-sales processing. They can be transported and stored separately, reducing logistics costs and ease of use, and improving the competitiveness of the hair dryer in the market.

[0050] It should be understood that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. For those skilled in the art, the technical solutions described in the above embodiments can be modified, or some of the technical features therein can be replaced by equivalents; and these modifications and replacements should all fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to the present invention.
