Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pet air conditioners, in particular to a pet air conditioner drainage structure. Background Art
[0002] With the development of the pet market and the growing number of people willing to find emotional comfort in their pets, the number of people keeping pets is growing. Existing pets are usually placed in pet boxes for individual feeding or display when they are fed or sold in pet shops. When the weather is cold, the pet box is placed indoors, and the pet can generate heat on its own. However, when the weather is hot, placing the pet box in a cool place can cause the pet's body temperature to rise rapidly due to factors such as the pet's own hair. Even if the pet box is placed in a room with air conditioning, the cooling effect will be greatly reduced due to the large indoor space and the inability to directly cool the air inside the box. For this reason, pet shops or owners who have the conditions will add pet air conditioners to the pet boxes to quickly and efficiently cool the pets. However, pet air conditioners are generally small in size, making it difficult to drain the condensed water. To solve this problem, the present invention proposes a pet air conditioner drainage structure. Utility Model Content
