Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pet products, specifically to a pet smart cabin ventilation system and a pet smart cabin having the same. Background Technology

[0002] The pet supplies industry has experienced rapid growth in recent years, leading to increasingly fierce market competition. To stand out, companies need to continuously launch innovative and high-quality products. For pet cabins, efficient fresh air ventilation and deodorization technology has become a key competitive advantage. Pet cabins with advanced technology can attract more consumer attention and purchases, meeting consumers' dual needs for both pet quality of life and a comfortable home environment. This has prompted companies to increase their R&D investment in fresh air ventilation and deodorization technology for pet cabins, driving technological progress across the industry.

[0003] As people's living standards improve, their demands for the comfort and quality of their living environment are also increasing. Pets live in the same space as their owners, and if the pet cabin cannot effectively handle odors and maintain fresh air, the resulting smells will quickly permeate the entire room, seriously affecting the comfort of the home environment. Owners not only want their pet cabins to provide a comfortable home for their pets, but also hope that they will not negatively impact the family living environment. Therefore, pet cabins with good air purification and odor elimination functions have become an urgent need for owners, driving the research and innovation of related technologies.

[0004] Pets live in relatively enclosed pet cabins for extended periods, making the impact of air quality on their health a significant concern. Polluted air, especially air containing high levels of odors, bacteria, and mold, greatly increases the risk of respiratory illnesses in pets. For example, pets exposed to such environments for long periods are prone to coughing, sneezing, and wheezing, and in severe cases, may even develop pneumonia. Furthermore, humid and smelly air can damage a pet's skin, leading to itching, hair loss, and infections. Providing a fresh and clean air environment is a crucial consideration in pet cabin design to ensure pets' healthy growth, which has spurred the development of efficient fresh air exchange and deodorization technologies.

[0005] Because smart pet cabins often require multiple electronic devices, resulting in congested circuitry, DC fans are commonly used for ventilation, and the air duct design is often very rudimentary. Such DC fan ventilation systems are inefficient, often leaving ventilation dead zones; they have low airflow, poor deodorization, and limited filtration; they are also noisy, affecting the pet's activity. The poorly designed air ducts also cause inconvenience for installation and maintenance, and negatively impact the pet's living environment and health.

[0006] In response to the above-mentioned defects, the creator of this utility model has finally obtained this utility model after a long period of research and practice. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a pet smart cabin ventilation system and a pet smart cabin incorporating the same.

[0008] The fresh air system provided in this solution protrudes downward from the top of the pet cabin to form a fresh air top platform, and the air duct is set inside the fresh air top platform; the air duct has one and only one corner, and a diverter plate is set at the corner of the air duct, which divides the middle section of the air duct into two channels. The air inlet of the fresh air system is set on the bottom surface of the fresh air top platform, and the air outlet of the fresh air system is set on one side of the fresh air top platform.

[0009] Due to the limited space of pet enclosures, the duct design of fresh air systems is often constrained by the enclosure's capacity. Existing fresh air system designs often focus solely on airflow and filter materials, neglecting the scientific design of the ductwork. This results in many systems accumulating dust quickly, requiring complex maintenance, and having a short lifespan. The fresh air system in this solution provides ample space for the ductwork by incorporating a ceiling-mounted fresh air unit. Through the use of single-angle bends and diverter plates, the airflow velocity through the duct is scientifically controlled. This ensures that the airflow can accommodate the high pressure and velocity provided by high-power AC fans, achieving high air purification speeds, while also maintaining sufficient air residence time to guarantee air quality.

[0010] The fresh air duct has only one bend. The presence of too many bends affects airflow velocity; too many can cause air stagnation and pollutant buildup on the inner walls. In this design, the single bend effectively reduces the airflow velocity at the inlet, adjusting air distribution and allowing for a more even distribution of air at the outlet. This ensures the exhaust air is evenly distributed onto the filter, and the single bend prevents excessive reduction in airflow velocity, effectively maintaining airflow efficiency.

[0011] The fresh air duct is designed with a diverter plate that divides the corner section of the duct into two channels. In existing technologies, duct designs are not precise enough in guiding and distributing air, easily leading to obstructed airflow and affecting ventilation efficiency. Airflow is particularly prone to obstruction at corners. The diverter plate precisely guides and distributes air within the duct, preventing the airflow velocity from being too high in the middle and almost completely blocked on both sides at the corner. This avoids dust accumulation at the corner, preventing further airflow obstruction. Simultaneously, the air is directed to both sides, further ensuring that the air is evenly distributed to the filter plate at the outlet, further improving purification efficiency. The diverter plate ensures smooth airflow through the corner and even flow out of the outlet, reducing dirt buildup in the fresh air system and minimizing maintenance frequency.

[0012] Meanwhile, the design of the fresh air top platform makes the complex wiring of the AC fan possible, providing sufficient space for a high-power fan. The fresh air inlet in this solution is located at the lower end of the top platform, resulting in higher air intake efficiency; the air outlet is positioned on the side of the top platform, preventing the air from blowing directly onto the pet and avoiding discomfort caused by drafts; the air outlet is equipped with a removable filter and polymer filter material to remove pet hair, dust, and odor molecules, effectively improving the air environment inside the pet compartment. The removable design facilitates cleaning and replacement, making maintenance convenient; the use of an AC turbine fan results in greater airflow, better ventilation, and lower noise.

[0013] Preferably, the size of the air outlet of the fresh air system is 1.5 times larger than that of the air inlet.

[0014] The design of the air outlets and inlets of a fresh air system is a crucial step in duct optimization. At the air outlet, the air velocity decreases due to the influence of the air filter and polymer filter material. A larger outlet area minimizes the impact on air velocity, maintaining high ventilation efficiency. Experiments have shown that ventilation efficiency is guaranteed when the outlet size is 1.5 times larger than the inlet size, ensuring the cleanliness of the duct's inner walls.

[0015] Preferably, the air inlet is provided with a filter and a baffle plate, and the air outlet is provided with a detachable filter and a polymer filter material, with the detachable filter located in front of the polymer filter material.

[0016] A filter at the inlet prevents large lint and other contaminants from entering the duct, reducing the filtration burden within the duct. A baffle plate diverts airflow from the inlet, preventing excessive pressure and large lint from penetrating the filter and entering the duct. The outlet is equipped with a filter and polymer filter material. The filter first removes larger dust particles and is washable and reusable. The polymer filter material removes fine dust, improving air quality.

[0017] Preferably, the filter screen is a dustproof filter screen with a fine pore size of 0.5mm.

[0018] Experiments have shown that 0.5mm fine-pore dust filters have the highest filtration efficiency for pet hair.

[0019] Preferably, the fresh air system uses an AC turbine fan.

[0020] AC turbine fans offer high air pressure, large air volume, and low noise, but they are relatively bulky. This solution utilizes a fresh air rooftop and a single-bend duct system, providing ample space for the high-power AC turbine fan. This optimizes the fan's performance, enabling faster and more efficient air filtration while providing a quieter user experience.

[0021] Preferably, an activated carbon filter box is also provided inside the air duct.

[0022] Activated carbon can absorb odors and further improve the quality of the exhaust gas.

[0023] Preferably, sound insulation cotton is also provided inside the air inlet.

[0024] The addition of sound insulation material further reduces noise, making the fresh air system quieter despite having a higher airflow speed compared to traditional pet cabin fresh air systems.

[0025] This solution also provides a smart pet cabin, including any of the above-mentioned smart pet cabin ventilation systems.

[0026] The pet smart cabin is equipped with an optimized intelligent fresh air system that enables efficient air purification, effectively improving the air environment inside the cabin.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0028] 1. Highly Efficient Ventilation: Turbine fans typically have much higher air pressure and volume than DC fans, quickly drawing fresh air into the pet enclosure and expelling stale air. Combined with a carefully designed air duct system, this ensures even air distribution and efficient circulation within the pet compartment, eliminating dead zones and guaranteeing your pet is always in a fresh environment.

[0029] 2. Effective Odor Removal: The filter design is one of the key advantages of this technology. The unique activated carbon cloth filter effectively filters and purifies odorous gases produced by pets, mainly including nitrogen compounds (ammonia, methylamine), sulfides (hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan), and aliphatic compounds (indole, acrolein, skatole, methane, etc.), removing the odor from pet excrement. Simultaneously, the ventilation system promptly exhausts odor-producing air from the pet compartment, reducing odor generation and accumulation at the source and maintaining fresh air inside the pet compartment.

[0030] 3. Low-noise operation: Advanced turbine fans are designed and manufactured with noise reduction technology in mind, resulting in relatively low noise levels during operation. The well-designed internal baffles in the air duct also act as buffers and sound absorbers, further reducing the operating noise of the ventilation system and creating a quiet and comfortable living space for pets.

[0031] 4. Easy Installation and Maintenance: The duct and fan structure of this ventilation, purification, and deodorization technology can be optimized according to the characteristics of pet enclosures, making installation simpler. The filter cartridges are typically designed for easy removal and replacement, facilitating regular maintenance and ensuring the ventilation system maintains optimal performance. Furthermore, the entire system is relatively simple to maintain, requiring no complex tools or specialized skills. Attached Figure Description

[0037] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a pet smart cabin ventilation system comprises a ventilation platform protruding downwards from the top of the pet cabin, with an air duct disposed within the platform. The air duct has one and only one corner, at which a diverter plate divides a section of the duct into two separate channels. The air inlet of the ventilation system is located on the bottom surface of the ventilation platform, and the air outlet is located on one side of the platform. The air inlet is equipped with an air filter and a baffle plate, and also contains sound-absorbing cotton. The air outlet has a removable filter and a polymer filter material, with the removable filter positioned in front of the polymer filter material. The size of the air outlet is 1.5 times larger than the air inlet. An activated carbon box is also installed within the duct to absorb odors. The activated carbon box can be placed anywhere within the duct; in this embodiment, it is placed at the air inlet. In this embodiment, the air inlet is 52mm high and 160mm wide, and the air outlet is 52mm high and 245mm wide. The air duct of the fresh air system has only one bend. The filter is a 0.5mm fine-pore dust filter. The fresh air system uses an AC turbine fan. Sound insulation cotton is also installed inside the air inlet to further reduce noise, so that although the airflow speed of the fresh air system is greater than that of traditional pet cabin fresh air systems, the noise is actually lower and quieter.

[0040] When the fresh air system is in use, large pollutants are filtered through the air inlet filter, and the air baffle prevents large but soft pollutants from being drawn in by the high air pressure. Air is drawn into the duct by an alternating turbine fan, slows down at the corner, and is split into two paths by a diffuser, evenly distributed on both sides of the duct. It then flows out of the fresh air system through a larger outlet, filtered again by the air inlet filter and a polymer filter plate. Odors are significantly reduced through adsorption by activated carbon.

[0041] Due to the limited space of pet enclosures, the duct design of fresh air systems is often constrained by the enclosure's capacity. Existing fresh air system designs often focus solely on airflow and filter materials, neglecting the scientific design of the ductwork. This results in many systems accumulating dust quickly, requiring complex maintenance, and having a short lifespan. The fresh air system in this solution provides ample space for the ductwork by incorporating a ceiling-mounted fresh air unit. Through the use of single-angle bends and diverter plates, the airflow velocity through the duct is scientifically controlled. This ensures that the airflow can accommodate the high pressure and velocity provided by high-power AC fans, achieving high air purification speeds, while also maintaining sufficient air residence time to guarantee air quality.

[0042] The fresh air duct has only one bend. The presence of too many bends affects airflow velocity; too many can cause air stagnation and pollutant buildup on the inner walls. In this design, the single bend effectively reduces the airflow velocity at the inlet, adjusting air distribution and allowing for a more even distribution of air at the outlet. This ensures the exhaust air is evenly distributed onto the filter, and the single bend prevents excessive reduction in airflow velocity, effectively maintaining airflow efficiency.

[0043] The fresh air duct is designed with a diverter plate that divides the corner section of the duct into two channels. In existing technologies, duct designs are not precise enough in guiding and distributing air, easily leading to obstructed airflow and affecting ventilation efficiency. Airflow is particularly prone to obstruction at corners. The diverter plate precisely guides and distributes air within the duct, preventing the airflow velocity from being too high in the middle and almost completely blocked on both sides at the corner. This avoids dust accumulation at the corner, preventing further airflow obstruction. Simultaneously, the air is directed to both sides, further ensuring that the air is evenly distributed to the filter plate at the outlet, further improving purification efficiency. The diverter plate ensures smooth airflow through the corner and even flow out of the outlet, reducing dirt buildup in the fresh air system and minimizing maintenance frequency.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] This embodiment provides a smart pet cabin, including the smart pet cabin ventilation system described in Embodiment 1. The optimized smart ventilation system enables efficient air purification, effectively improving the air environment within the cabin.

[0046] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
