Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a pet paw washing and drying mechanism, including a fan 101, a fan outlet 102, an air duct 103, a roller inlet 104, a roller 105, an air outlet 106, a brush 107, and a motor 108.

[0029] The pet foot washing and drying mechanism 1 of this invention can be used in a traditional pet foot washing machine or as a drying mechanism on its own. The pets in this invention are not limited to common pets such as pet dogs and pet cats, but can be used for all other pets that need foot washing and drying.

[0030] In one embodiment, the fan 101 may be configured as a hair dryer or other blower capable of blowing hot air; the fan 101 may be located at the lower end of the pet foot bath machine or at other locations; or it may be located in other locations as part of an independent drying mechanism.

[0031] The fan outlet 102 is the air outlet of the fan 101 and can be connected to the air duct 103. The air duct 103 can be implemented directly as a ventilation pipe, or it can be customized according to the size and positional relationship of the fan outlet 102 and the roller 105.

[0032] The roller 105 is a hollow structure with at least one open end, and a brush 107 is provided on the side wall of the roller 105. The air outlet 102 of the fan 101 is connected to one end of the roller 105 through the air duct 102, and an air blowing port 106 is provided on the side wall of the roller 105. After the pet's paws are cleaned with water, the roller 105 drives the brush 107 to rotate, and the brush 107 acts on the fur on the pet's legs. At the same time, the air blown out of the air outlet 106 dries the pet's legs. During the drying process, the action of the brush 107 on the fur on the pet's legs speeds up the drying efficiency and ensures the drying effect.

[0033] Optionally, a motor 108 is connected to the end of the roller 105 furthest from the air duct 103. Specifically, the roller 105 can be rotatably mounted on the pet foot-washing machine 2 or other support via bearings or other components; the motor 108 is mounted on the pet foot-washing machine 2 or other support via a motor mount or other components, and the output shaft of the motor 108 is connected to the roller 105. The roller 105 is located within the washing and drying chamber 109 on the pet foot-washing machine 2 or other support.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the roller 105 is used to connect one end of the air duct 103, and a skeleton shaft seal 1010 or skeleton oil seal or other components are provided between the roller 105 and the air duct 103; in other embodiments, other rotatable and well-sealed rotating connectors can also be used, which will not be described in detail here.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple brushes 107 are evenly arranged on the side wall of the roller 105. Understandably, when washing a pet's paws, the roller 105 drives the brushes 107 to rotate, moving them over the pet's paws so that the water can better clean the pet's fur; after washing the pet's paws, during drying, the roller 105 drives the brushes 107 to rotate, moving them over the pet's paws so that the hot air can better dry the pet's fur.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the brush 107 includes a first brush segment 1071 connected to the roller 105, and a second brush segment 1073 connected to the first brush segment 1071. The brush 107 can be made of silicone or other flexible materials.

[0037] The diameter of the first brush segment 1071 is larger than that of the second brush segment 1073, forming a stepped arrangement. This increases the connection area between the brush 107 and the roller 105, ensuring connection stability. Furthermore, the diameter of the second brush segment 1073, which is closer to the pet's leg, is smaller, improving flexibility and reducing the force exerted on the pet's leg, thus ensuring comfort when applied to the pet.

[0038] Multiple air outlets 106 are evenly distributed on the side wall of the roller 105 to ensure efficient drying of the pet's legs. Furthermore, the first brush section 1071 is a hollow structure connected to the hollow structure of the roller 105; auxiliary air outlets 1072 are provided on the side wall of the first brush section 1071. Understandably, during drying, the roller 105 drives the brush 107 to rotate, moving towards the pet's feet. Hot air is blown onto the pet's legs not only through the air outlets 106 but also through the auxiliary air outlets 1072, further improving the drying efficiency and effectiveness of the pet's legs.

[0039] like Figure 1 good Figure 2 As shown, along the axial direction of the roller 105, at least one row of air outlets 106 is provided between every two rows of brushes 107. Along the circumference of the roller, the brushes 107 and the air outlets 106 are arranged intersectingly, so that hot air can be smoothly blown onto the pet's legs, ensuring the drying effect.
