Detailed Implementation

[0024] The following will refer to the appendix in the embodiments of this utility model. Figures 1-4 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 In this embodiment of the utility model, a foldable pet drying box includes: a box body 1, a lid 2 nested at the upper end of the box body 1, a base 3 at the bottom of the box body 1, a door 4 embedded in the side of the box body 1, a drawer 5 embedded inside the base 3, heating elements 7 embedded on both sides inside the box body 1, and an exhaust fan 6 on one side inside the box body 1; the box body 1 includes two side panels 101, a back panel 102, and a front panel 103, one of the side panels 101 being hinged to the base 3, and the base 3... A positioning block 301 is provided at the top, and one of the side plates 101 is connected to the positioning block 301 by a hinge. Both side plates 101 are foldable. A protective cover is nested on the outside of the exhaust fan 6. The upper part of the base 3 is a mesh plate, and the upper surface of the base 3 is made of rubber. The box door 4 is embedded in the front plate 103 and is hinged to the front plate 103. The box door 4 is made of acrylic. Multiple telescopic straps 203 are installed at the top inside the box cover 2. Toys can be tied to the inside of the telescopic straps 203. The telescopic straps 203 are elastic.

[0026] When the drying oven is turned on, the heating elements 7 embedded on both sides of the oven body 1 quickly begin to operate. Utilizing the principle that current generates heat through resistance, they release a large amount of heat energy, rapidly raising the air temperature inside the oven body 1. This hot air surrounds the pet, accelerating the evaporation of moisture from its fur, thus achieving the purpose of drying the pet. Because the heating elements 7 are distributed on both sides of the oven body 1, they can evenly raise the temperature throughout the oven, avoiding localized overheating or undercooling, comprehensively addressing the drying needs of all parts of the pet's body. Simultaneously, the exhaust fan 6 installed on one side of the oven body 1 starts working. Driven by a motor, the fan blades rotate at high speed, creating a powerful airflow that draws the humid air, rich in evaporated moisture, out of the oven. Under the negative pressure created, fresh air from outside flows into the box through various gaps (such as the tiny gap between the door 4 and the box body 1), forming a continuous air circulation. This process not only accelerates the vaporization of moisture on the pet's fur, improving drying efficiency, but also keeps the air inside the box fresh at all times, preventing bacteria growth due to dampness and heat. At the same time, the protective cover effectively prevents the pet from putting its feet into the fan-equipped box, effectively improving the pet's safety and creating a healthy and comfortable drying environment. Multiple retractable straps 203 at the top inside the lid 2, due to their elasticity, can easily hold the pet's favorite toys. When the pet is placed in the drying box, these hanging toys effectively attract the pet's attention, and the pet, out of curiosity and playfulness... Yes, it will distract the pet with toys, thus alleviating the tension and anxiety caused by being in an unfamiliar, enclosed environment (in the drying box) and being forced to dry. While playing with toys, the pet will remain relatively quiet in the box, reducing frequent fidgeting due to anxiety, allowing the drying process to proceed smoothly, and also reducing the risk of injury from vigorous activity. The drawer 5 embedded inside the base 3 provides users with a convenient storage space. In daily use, users can neatly place pet drying-related items, such as towels for drying pet fur, combs for grooming, and skin moisturizing lotions, in drawer 5. When these items are needed, simply pull out drawer 5 to quickly find the required items. After use, the contents are returned to drawer 5 for easy organization and management, making the entire drying process more orderly and efficient. One of the two side panels 101 of the cabinet 1 is connected to the base 3 via a hinge structure, while the other is connected to a positioning block 301 located on the upper end of the base 3 via a hinge. This hinge design gives the side panels 101 a movable characteristic. When the drying cabinet needs to be stored or moved, the user can fold both side panels 101 inward along the hinge. As the side panels 101 fold, the spatial structure of the entire cabinet 1 changes, gradually reducing its volume, thus greatly reducing the space occupied when not in use. This makes it convenient to store in corners or cabinets at home, and also easy to carry when going out, meeting the user's flexible needs for drying cabinet space utilization in different scenarios.The door 4 is embedded inside the front panel 103 and is hinged to it. This allows the door 4 to rotate and open and close around the hinge point. The door 4 is made of acrylic material because acrylic has good light transmittance. During the drying process, pet owners can clearly observe their pet's condition inside the drying chamber through the transparent door 4, such as whether it is quiet or exhibiting any unusual behavior, allowing for timely adjustments. Simultaneously, the door 4 effectively prevents direct heat and moisture leakage, ensuring a relatively stable internal environment, which is beneficial for improving drying efficiency and maintaining a balanced temperature inside the chamber. The dual-sided heating element 7 layout design achieves uniform temperature distribution within the chamber. The all-around heating system fully covers the pet's body, greatly improving drying efficiency. Compared to drying boxes with single-sided heating, it dries the pet's fur much faster, reducing the time the pet spends inside the box and minimizing discomfort that may result from prolonged exposure to a specific environment. This allows the pet to quickly regain a dry and comfortable state, saving the user's waiting time. The excellent ventilation provided by the exhaust fan 6 prevents stuffiness and humidity buildup inside the box, offering a fresh and comfortable drying environment for the pet, reducing the risk of bacterial growth, and protecting the pet's health. The retractable strap 203 on the lid 2, which can be used to tie toys, psychologically soothes the pet, reducing anxiety and enhancing their comfort during the drying process. To make the drying process more acceptable to pets, the base (3 drawers, 5 drawers) provides a dedicated storage area for pet-related items, allowing for organized categorization and easy retrieval during the drying process, greatly improving usability. The rubberized upper surface of the base (3) not only provides excellent anti-slip properties, effectively preventing pets from slipping and injuring themselves inside the box, but also reduces noise from pet paws touching the box (1), creating a quiet and safe environment for pets and further enhancing the user experience. This pet drying box integrates multiple practical functions; in addition to basic drying, the toy-based design meets the psychological needs of pets. Drawer 5 facilitates item management, while the foldable structure allows for flexible space utilization. The transparent acrylic door 4 allows for easy observation of the pet's condition. This combination of multiple functions provides users and pets with comprehensive, one-stop service, greatly enhancing the product's overall value and user satisfaction. The acrylic door 4, with its excellent light transmission, provides pet owners with a clear window to observe their pets during the drying process. Owners can monitor their pets' condition at any time, promptly detecting any discomfort or abnormal behavior, such as excessive stress or rapid breathing. Owners can then take timely measures, such as pausing the drying process or comforting the pet, ensuring the pet's safety and health during the drying process.

[0027] In this embodiment of the utility model, two sliding grooves 105 are formed on the inner sides of the two side plates 101, and two grooves 302 are formed on the inner side of the positioning block 301. The grooves 302 are interconnected with the sliding grooves 105 of one of the side plates 101 and are positioned in the same position as the two sliding grooves 105. Two limiting grooves 303 are formed on the upper end of the base 3. The limiting grooves 303 are interconnected with the two sliding grooves 105. A retaining strip 106 is provided on the outer half of the back plate 102 and the front plate 103. The two ends of the retaining strip 106 are embedded in the two sliding grooves 105 and the grooves 302, and the bottom of the retaining strip 106 is embedded in the limiting groove 303. The 106 is detachably connected to the groove 302, the limiting groove 303, and the sliding groove 105; a sealing sleeve 107 is nested on the outside of the clip 106, the sealing sleeve 107 is made of rubber, and the clip 106 is U-shaped; a limiting block 201 is installed at the lower end of the box cover 2, and a hand-tightening screw 202 is embedded through the limiting block 201, and the hand-tightening screw 202 is connected to the limiting block 201 by a movable thread; threaded holes 104 are opened on the outside of the two side plates 101, and the hand-tightening screw 202 can be inserted into the threaded hole 104, and the threaded hole 104 is detachably connected to the hand-tightening screw 202;

[0028] When assembling the housing 1, since the back panel 102 and the front panel 103 are partially surrounded by retaining strips 106, one side panel 101 is first connected to the base 3 via a hinge, and the other side panel 101 is connected to the positioning block 301 via a hinge. Then, the two ends of the retaining strip 106 are embedded into the sliding grooves 105 on the inner sides of the two side panels 101 and the recesses 302 on the inner sides of the positioning block 301. Because the recesses 302 are interconnected with and aligned with the sliding grooves 105 of one of the side panels 101, and the bottom of the retaining strip 106 is embedded into the limiting groove 303 at the upper end of the base 3, this... In this way, the back panel 102 and front panel 103 are connected and fixed to the side panel 101, positioning block 301 and base 3 to form a complete box body 1 structure. The detachable connection between the retaining strip 106 and the groove 302, limiting groove 303 and sliding groove 105 makes assembly and disassembly operations convenient. The limiting block 201 installed at the lower end of the box cover 2 is fitted with a hand-tightening screw 202. When it is necessary to fix the box cover 2, the box cover 2 is placed on top of the box body 1, so that the hand-tightening screw 202 is aligned with the threaded hole 104 opened on the outer side of the two side panels 101, and then... Rotating the hand-tightening screw 202, since the hand-tightening screw 202 is connected to the limiting block 201 by a movable thread and to the threaded hole 104 by a detachable thread, the hand-tightening screw 202 gradually screws into the threaded hole 104, thereby firmly fixing the box cover 2 to the box body 1. When it is necessary to open the box cover 2, rotate the hand-tightening screw 202 in the opposite direction to remove it from the threaded hole 104, and the box cover 2 can be removed. The rubber sealing sleeve 107 nested on the outside of the retaining strip 106 has a sliding groove 105, a groove 302 and a limiting groove 3 embedded in the retaining strip 106. After 03, the sealing sleeve 107 can fill the gap between the clip 106 and these components, playing a sealing role to prevent the leakage of hot air and moisture inside the chamber 1, ensuring the drying effect of the drying chamber, while also reducing heat loss and improving energy utilization efficiency. The detachable connection between the clip 106 and the groove 302, the limiting groove 303, and the sliding groove 105 makes the assembly and disassembly process of the entire chamber 1 simple and quick, without the need for complicated tools. For users, when the drying chamber is not in use, it can be easily disassembled and stored, saving space.The dryer can be quickly assembled and put into use when needed, improving ease of use. The connection between the clips 106 and the side panels 101, positioning blocks 301, and base 3, along with the hand-tightened screws 202 securing the lid 2, ensures a stable structure after assembly. This allows the dryer to withstand the movement of pets inside, preventing loosening or deformation and guaranteeing its safety, reliability, and lifespan. The rubber sealing sleeve 107 effectively prevents the leakage of heat and moisture from the body 1, improving drying efficiency, reducing drying time, lowering energy consumption, and saving operating costs. Furthermore, the good sealing helps maintain clean air inside the dryer, reducing the spread of odors and bacteria. The movable threaded connection between the hand-tightening screw 202 and the limiting block 201, as well as the detachable threaded connection with the threaded hole 104 on the side plate 101, allows for a degree of adjustability in the fixing of the lid 2. Users can adjust the tightening of the hand-tightening screw 202 according to actual needs to adapt to different usage scenarios and requirements. For example, when more space is needed for the pet, the hand-tightening screw 202 can be slightly loosened. This structural design makes the connection method between various components universal, and it is easy to replace a damaged component. For example, if the retaining strip 106 or the sealing sleeve 107 is damaged, the user can easily disassemble and replace it, reducing maintenance costs and difficulty, and improving the maintainability of the drying box.

[0029] Working principle: In terms of assembling the box 1, the side plate 101 is first hinged to the base 3 and the positioning block 301. Then, the two ends of the "U"-shaped clip 106 with rubber sealing sleeve 107 are embedded into the sliding groove 105 of the side plate 101 and the groove 302 of the positioning block 301, and the bottom is embedded into the limiting groove 303 of the base 3, thus completing the main assembly of the box 1. The detachable connection of the clip 106 makes assembly and disassembly simple and convenient. When installing the box cover 2, the hand screw 202 on the limiting block 201 at the lower end of the box cover 2 is aligned with the threaded hole 104 of the side plate 101 and screwed in to fix the box cover 2. The tightening degree can be adjusted as needed. The rubber sealing sleeve 107 fills the gaps between the clip 106 and each component to prevent heat and moisture leakage, improve the drying effect and energy utilization. The connection method of each component is universal, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement. When the foldable pet drying box is opened, a series of working mechanisms are started. The heating elements 7 embedded on both sides of the box 1 generate heat based on the current passing through the resistance. The system rapidly releases a large amount of heat energy, evenly raising the temperature inside the box and accelerating the evaporation of moisture from the pet's fur for all-around drying. Simultaneously, the exhaust fan 6 on one side of the box 1 starts operating, with its motor driving the fan blades to rotate at high speed, drawing out the humid air saturated with moisture. This creates negative pressure inside the box, prompting fresh air from outside to flow in through the tiny gaps between the box door 4 and the box 1, forming a continuous air circulation that accelerates drying efficiency, keeps the air inside the box fresh, and inhibits bacterial growth. The elastic retractable strap 203 at the top of the box lid 2 can be used to tie pet toys, attracting the pet's attention, relieving its tension and anxiety in an unfamiliar and enclosed environment, reducing restlessness, and allowing the drying process to proceed smoothly. The drawer 5 inside the base 3 allows users to conveniently store pet drying-related items, such as towels and combs, making the drying process more organized and efficient.
