[0002] Cats are among the most common household pets, bringing joy to people's lives but also causing problems such as excessive shedding and the need to clean up after them. These issues can negatively impact the home environment, deterring some people from owning a cat. Currently, there are few devices on the market that can effectively manage cat hair in the home. A few devices collect loose hair by circulating and filtering the ambient air, but this has a limited coverage area, is not very effective, and has low collection efficiency. Furthermore, the loose hair falling into the environment represents only a portion of the cat's shed fur; a large amount of shed hair remains attached to the cat's body. Circulating and filtering these hairs is largely ineffective against the loose hair on the cat's body, failing to address the root cause of the loose hair in the environment.

[0003] Based on this, the present invention provides a cat hair collection device that actively guides cats and uses a brushing mechanism to process and collect loose hair from the cat's body, reducing the amount of loose hair entering the environment and minimizing the impact on the living environment from the source. At the same time, the processing effect is better and the efficiency is higher. Utility Model Content

[0062] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the technical solution of this utility model.

[0063] like Figures 1-24The cat hair collection device shown includes a housing 100, a brushing mechanism 200, an induction mechanism 300, a collection mechanism 400, and a blower mechanism 500.

[0064] The housing 100 is elongated cylindrical, with an inlet 101 at one end and a ventilation hole 102 at the other end. A one-way outlet 103 is located on the side wall of the housing 100 near the ventilation hole 102, allowing the cat to enter the housing 100 through the inlet 101 and exit through the one-way outlet 103, thus collecting loose fur from the cat. Inside the housing 100, a passageway is formed from the inlet 101 to the one-way outlet 103 for the cat to pass through.

[0065] A vertically arranged fixing plate 104 is fixed at the bottom of the housing 100 near the inlet 101. The fixing plate 104 has a through hole for the cat to pass through. The brushing mechanism 200 is located inside the housing 100 and is fixed to the fixing plate 104. The brushing mechanism 200 includes a brushing unit and a driving unit. The driving unit is used to provide driving force for the movement of the brushing unit.

[0066] The brushing unit includes a fixing member 201 and a brush member 202. The brush member 202 is fixed to the fixing member 201, allowing the brushing unit to adaptively extend and adjust to fit the cat's body according to different cat sizes. In this embodiment, the fixing member 201 in the brushing unit is an arc-shaped plate, and the brush member 202 is an elastic comb.

[0067] To facilitate the removal of loose hairs adhering to the brush bristles 202, the brush unit also includes a hair removal component 203. The hair removal component 203 has through holes adapted to the elastic comb teeth of the brush bristles 202, and is fitted onto the elastic comb teeth through these holes. With this arrangement, after the cat passes through the channel and completes brushing, loose hairs adhere to the brush bristles 202. By extending and retracting the brush bristles 202, the hair removal component 203 blocks and scrapes against the brush bristles 202, thereby removing the loose hairs from the brush unit for easy collection.

[0068] In this embodiment, the drive unit is fixedly connected to the fixing member 201 of the brushing unit, and the drive unit drives the fixing member 201 to move back and forth within the channel. The drive unit realizes the telescopic movement of the brushing mechanism 200 to complete the scraping of loose hair on the cat. Specifically, the drive unit includes a first motor 204, a synchronous belt 205, a fixing block 206, an adjusting block 207, and a tensioning member 208.

The adjusting block 207 is sleeved on the slide rod 210 through the first bearing 211, so that the adjusting block 207 moves back and forth along the slide rod 210, making the movement of the brushing unit more stable during the scraping of loose hair. Tensioner 208 is used to adjust the tension of timing belt 205.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first motor 204, fixing block 206, tensioning member 208, and guide wheel 209 are all fixed on the fixing plate 104; the slide rod 210 is fixed on the fixing plate 104; and the hair removal member 203 in the brushing unit is also fixed on the fixing plate 104. There are three brushing units: a first brushing unit, a second brushing unit, and a third brushing unit. The first brushing unit is located on the top of the fixing plate 104, while the second and third brushing units are located on both sides of the fixing plate 104, arranged symmetrically. The separate arrangement of the brushing units improves their flexibility, better accommodating cats of different sizes passing through the passage. Correspondingly, there are three fixing blocks 206 and six adjusting blocks 207; each fixing block 206 corresponds to one brushing unit, and every two adjusting blocks 207 correspond to one brushing unit. There is one first motor 204 and one synchronous belt 205; the three brushing units can be controlled to move simultaneously using one first motor 204 and one synchronous belt 205.

[0070] The brushing mechanism 200 also includes a pressure adjustment unit, which includes a sensor 212 and is electrically connected to the drive unit. The pressure adjustment unit detects the pressure when the brush element 202 in the brushing unit contacts the cat's body. Then, the drive unit adjusts the extension and retraction distance of the brush element 202 to maintain a better fit with the cat's body at all times, effectively scraping away loose fur without causing harm to the cat due to excessive pressure. In this embodiment, the sensor 212 can be a photoelectric sensor or a pressure sensor.

[0071] The brushing mechanism 200 also includes a video recognition unit, which is located at the top of the inlet 101 end of the housing 100 and is electrically connected to the drive unit. The video recognition unit identifies the cat before it enters the channel, determining its species and size. Combined with an algorithm, the drive unit is controlled to adjust the position of the brushing unit and the size of the channel through which the cat passes, thereby achieving the optimal fit between the brushing unit and the cat's body for better removal of loose fur. Specifically, the video recognition unit includes a camera 213, which is fixed to the top of the inlet 101 end of the housing 100.

The sensor plate 311 is sleeved on the output shaft of the motor and is connected to an elastic connecting block 307. The elastic connecting block 307 is sleeved outside the sensor plate 311, so that the elastic connecting block 307 is movable relative to the sensor plate 311 along the direction of the motor output shaft. The Hall switch 312 is fixed on the sensor plate 311.

[0076] The cat enters the housing 100 due to the induction mechanism 300, passes through the channel and is brushed by the brushing mechanism 200. Loose hair will accumulate inside the housing 100. In order to better collect the loose hair scraped from the cat's body, the cat hair collection device of this utility model also includes a collection mechanism 400. The collection mechanism 400 is located at the other end of the housing 100 near the ventilation hole 102, and is directly opposite the brushing mechanism 200. The induction mechanism 300 is located between the collection mechanism 400 and the brushing mechanism 200.

[0077] As shown in the figure, the collection mechanism 400 includes a filter screen 401, a fixing frame 402, a collection box 403, a scraping component, and a hair removal component. The filter screen 401 is fixed on the fixing frame 402, and the collection box 403 is located at the bottom of the fixing frame 402; the scraping component is fixed on the fixing frame 402, so that the scraping component moves up and down along the fixing frame 402 to scrape the loose hair on the filter screen 401 into the collection box 403.

[0078] The scraping assembly includes a third motor 405, a coupling 406, a lead screw 407, and a scraper 408.

The fourth motor 413 is fixed to the mounting frame 402, and the rotating guide 414 is hinged to the mounting frame 402, with the fourth motor 413 and the rotating guide 414 being connected in a transmission manner. The down-spinning plate 415 is fixed to the rotating guide 414 and is positioned opposite to the guide plate 417. As the rotating guide 414 rotates forward, the lint-scraping plate 415 scrapes the loose cat hair from the bottom of the filter screen 401, causing it to fall to the side of the guide plate 417. Then, the rotating guide 414 rotates in the opposite direction, causing the loose cat hair to fall from the guide plate 417 side towards the perforated opening 418 side, thus passing through the perforated opening 418 and falling into the collection box 403. This completes the collection of loose cat hair scraped from the filter screen 401 into the collection box 403 for easy processing. The door panel 416 is hinged to the rotating guide 414, providing shielding and protection for the rotating guide 414 while preventing cat hair from overflowing and affecting the environment.

[0080] The collection mechanism 400 also includes a sealing cover plate 404, which is fixed to the fixing frame 402 and forms a sealed cavity with the fixing frame 402.
