[0038] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0039] Example 1

[0040] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6This utility model provides an automatic grooming and hair-absorbing cat bed, comprising: a cat bed shell 1, an inner support plate 2, multiple grooming components 3, an adjustment ring 4, a front panel 5, and a negative pressure device 6; the front end of the cat bed shell 1 has an opening; the inner support plate 2 is disposed within the front opening of the cat bed shell 1, and has an inner inlet / outlet 201; each grooming component 3 has a wedge-shaped structure, and each grooming component 3 is slidably assembled around the inner inlet / outlet 201 on the inner support plate 2 to form a pet passage, and at least one grooming component 3 has a hair-absorbing port 301; the adjustment ring 4 is adjusted. The adjustment ring 4 is rotatably set relative to the inner support plate 2. The adjustment ring 4 and each combing part 3 slide together to form a shutter mechanism, which is used to drive each combing part 3 to retract or open synchronously. A rotation drive mechanism is set between the adjustment ring 4 and the inner support plate 2. The front panel 5 is set at the front port of the cat bed shell 1. The front panel 5 is provided with an exit entrance 501, which is connected to the pet passage. The negative pressure device 6 is set inside the cat bed shell 1. The negative pressure device 6 is provided with an air intake 601, which is connected to the hair suction port 301 through the pipe 23.

[0041] refer to Figure 13 It also includes a controller 18 and an operation panel 19. The operation panel 19 is equipped with a display screen and touch screen buttons or physical buttons. The control panel 19 is bidirectionally connected to the controller 18. Two of the signal output terminals of the controller 18 are electrically connected to the rotation drive mechanism and the negative pressure device 6, respectively, to control the drive mechanism to drive the adjustment ring 4 to rotate and to control the negative pressure device 6 to suck up hair.

[0042] refer to Figure 14 It also includes a distance sensor 20 and a photoelectric switch 21. The distance sensor 20 is located at the exit entrance 501, and the photoelectric switch 21 is located at the inner entrance 201 or inside the cat bed housing 1. The signal output terminals of the distance sensor 20 and the photoelectric switch 21 are electrically connected to two of the signal receiving terminals of the controller 18, respectively, to detect whether the pet cat has entered or moved away from the cat bed. When the controller 18 detects that the pet cat is near the exit entrance 501 through the distance sensor 20, in order to avoid startling the pet cat, the controller 18 will not activate the rotation drive mechanism and the negative pressure device 6. When the controller 18 detects that the pet cat has moved away from the cat bed through the photoelectric switch 21 and the distance sensor 20, the controller 18 starts to activate the rotation drive mechanism to scrape the fur and activates the negative pressure device 6 to suck up the fur.

[0043] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The cat house shell 1 includes a detachably connected base 110 and an upper shell 120. The upper shell 120 is provided with an upper flip cover 123, and the negative pressure device 6 is fixed inside the base 110.

[0044] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The pet passage is initially open. When a cat enters or leaves its cat bed, it will inevitably pass through the pet passage. At this time, each grooming component 3 will come into contact with the cat's body and groom the cat. When the controller 18 detects that the cat has left the exit 501 through the photoelectric switch 21 and the distance sensor 20, it rotates the drive mechanism to drive the adjustment ring 4 to rotate. Each grooming component 3 slides inward synchronously, causing the pet passage to contract. The hair suction port 301 at the front end of one of the grooming components 3 moves towards the middle of the pet passage. At the same time, the controller 18 activates the negative pressure device 6. As all the grooming components 3 approach the hair suction port 301, the negative pressure device 6 can suck up all the pet hair combed off by the grooming components 3 through the hair suction port 301.

[0045] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 It also includes a filter box 7, which is slidably disposed in the base 110. One end of the filter box 7 is detachably and sealed to the negative pressure device 6. The cat house shell 1 or the front panel 5 is provided with an inlet 502. The filter box 7 is slidably assembled in the inlet 502. The inner end of the filter box 7 passes through the inner support plate 2 and can be plugged and detached to the negative pressure device 6. The filter box 7 is used to filter the pet cat's hair sucked in by the negative pressure device 6. After the user pulls out the filter box 7, the pet cat's hair can be cleaned.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 Based on embodiment 1, each combing component 3 is provided with a combing surface 302 and a sliding surface 303 intersecting at the end. The combing surface 302 faces the side of the inner entrance 201. The combing surface 302 on each combing component 3 is slidably attached to the sliding surface 303 on the adjacent combing component 3. Combing teeth 304 are provided on the combing surface 302 of multiple combing components 3. Scraping teeth 305 are provided at the intersection of the combing surface 302 and the sliding surface 303.

[0048] When the adjusting ring 4 drives each combing component 3 to contract or open synchronously, the combing surface 302 on each combing component 3 and the sliding surface 303 on the adjacent combing component 3 slide relative to each other; when the adjusting ring 4 drives each combing component 3 to contract synchronously, the scraping teeth 305 on the sliding surface 303 scrape the hair on the combing teeth 304 on the combing surface 302.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] refer to Figure 7 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 Based on embodiment 2, the combing surface 302 on one of the combing parts 3 is a smooth surface, and the smooth surface slides and adheres to the sliding surface 303 on the combing part 3 with the suction port 301.

[0051] Since the brush comb 3 with the suction port 301 is provided, the sliding surface 303 cannot be provided with the scraping teeth 305, and therefore cannot scrape the brush comb surface 302 on the adjacent brush comb 3. So the brush comb surface 302 on the adjacent brush comb 3 does not need to be provided with the brush comb teeth 304, and can be directly smooth.

[0052] Example 4

[0053] refer to Figure 10 Based on embodiment 2, grooves 306 are provided on the sliding surfaces 303 of multiple combing parts 3. The grooves 306 are used to accommodate combing teeth 304, and scraping teeth 305 are provided at the front end of the grooves 306.

[0054] Multiple rows of comb teeth 304 are disposed on the combing surface 302 of the combing component 3. A groove 306 is provided on the sliding surface 303 of the adjacent combing component 3 to accommodate the comb teeth 304 when the pet passage is retracted. When the pet cat passes through the pet passage, the multiple rows of comb teeth 304 will comb the pet cat's fur, and the shed fur on the pet cat will be combed off by the comb teeth 304. The scraping teeth 305 extend outward from the bottom of the groove 306. The ends of the scraping teeth 305 and the comb teeth 304 face each other, and the comb teeth 304 and the scraping teeth 305 are staggered. When the pet passage is retracted, two adjacent combing components 3 slide against each other, and the scraping teeth 305 pass through the spaces between the multiple rows of comb teeth 304 to scrape away the pet fur between the comb teeth 304.

[0055] Example 5

[0056] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Based on embodiment 1, the inner support plate 2 is provided with a plurality of first inclined grooves 202, the adjusting ring 4 is provided with a plurality of second inclined grooves 401, and each combing part 3 is provided with a guide post 307. One end of the guide post 307 is slidably engaged with the first inclined groove 202, and the other end of the guide post 307 is slidably engaged with the second inclined groove 401.

[0057] When the adjusting ring 4 rotates under the drive of the rotating mechanism, the multiple second inclined grooves 401 on the adjusting ring 4 push one end of the guide post 307 on the combing part 3, so that the combing part 3 moves along the first inclined groove 202 on the inner support plate 2 through the other end of the guide post 307. At the same time, each pair of adjacent combing parts 3 slides against each other through the combing surface 302 and the sliding surface 303, so as to realize the adjustment of the size of the pet passage, so that the whole device can adapt to pet cats of different sizes.
