[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4This utility model discloses a pet cleaning machine, which includes a housing 100, and a support member 200, a water tank 300, a pump assembly 400, and a drive mechanism 500, all disposed within the housing 100. The housing 100 has a first opening 110 located on the front side of the support member 200 and communicating with the outside and the inner cavity of the support member 200. The support member 200 has openings 210 on its upper, lower, left, and right sides. The drive mechanism 500 is connected to a spray pipe 600. The spray pipe 600 and the water tank 300 are both connected to the pump assembly 400 through pipes. The spray pipe 600 is sleeved on the support member 200. The spray pipe 600 is provided with a first nozzle 610, a second nozzle 620, a third nozzle 630, and a fourth nozzle 640. The drive mechanism 500 can drive the spray pipe 600 to reciprocate in the front-back direction. The pump assembly 400 can transport water in the water tank 300 to the spray pipe 600, so that the water can be sprayed into the inner cavity of the support member 200 through the first nozzle 610, the second nozzle 620, the third nozzle 630, and the fourth nozzle 640, respectively through the upper opening 210, the lower opening 210, the left opening 210, and the right opening 210.

[0034] After the pet is placed into the inner cavity of the support member 200 through the first opening 110, the drive mechanism 500 drives the spray pipe 600 to move back and forth in the front and back direction, and cooperates with the pump assembly 400 to deliver water in the water tank 300 to the spray pipe 600, so that the water passes through the first nozzle 610, the second nozzle 620, the third nozzle 630 and the fourth nozzle 640, and sprays into the inner cavity of the support member 200 through the upper opening 210, the lower opening 210, the left opening 210 and the right opening 210 respectively, so as to cover the entire body of the pet to spray and clean the front, middle and rear. Therefore, on the one hand, the spray pipe 600 moves back and forth in the front and back direction to spray and clean the pet in the support 200, which can avoid intermittent spraying and allow the water flow to cover the pet's whole body so as to fully spray and clean the pet; on the other hand, the pet cleaning machine of this application only uses one spray pipe 600 to complete the cleaning of the pet's whole body. Compared with the traditional pet cleaning machine that uses multiple spray pipes 600 arranged in parallel, the number of spray pipes 600 is reduced, so the production cost is also reduced.

[0035] Understandably, the pump assembly 400 includes a preset number of pump components, a preset number of solenoid valves, and a distribution pipe. The pump components, spray pipe assembly 600, and water tank assembly 300 are all connected to the distribution pipe via pipes. The solenoid valves are connected to the distribution pipe. One of the pump components can operate to allow water from the water tank assembly 300 to be output to the spray pipe assembly 600 through the distribution pipe. The solenoid valves can cut off or open the corresponding flow path in the distribution pipe. Of course, the distribution pipe can be connected to an external water source, allowing one of the pump components to operate to allow water from the external water source to be output to the spray pipe assembly 600 or the water tank assembly 300 through the distribution pipe.

[0036] Understandably, the drive mechanism 500 can be configured as a linear module.

[0037] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 The chassis 100 is provided with a washing liquid tank 710 connected to the pump assembly 400. The pump assembly 400 can mix the water in the water tank 300 with the washing liquid in the washing liquid tank 710 and then deliver it to the spray pipe 600.

[0038] It is understandable that the detergent tank 710 is connected to the pump assembly 400, that is, the detergent tank 710 is connected to the distribution pipe through the pipe fittings. The corresponding water pump can work to mix the water in the water tank 300 and the detergent in the detergent tank 710 in the distribution pipe and then output it to the spray pipe fitting 600 to spray the pet with detergent water.

[0039] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 The chassis 100 is equipped with a fan assembly 720, which delivers hot air into the inner cavity of the support member 200 through the port 210. Specifically, there are four fan assemblies 720, with two fan assemblies 720 and two other fan assemblies 720 located on the left and right sides of the support member 200, respectively.

The water spray gun 750 is connected to the pump assembly 400 through a pipe fitting. The water spray gun 750 can be removed from the receiving cavity 130 through the second opening 131 for water spraying. Specifically, the water spray gun 750 is connected to the pump assembly 400 through a pipe fitting, that is, the water spray gun 750 is connected to the water distribution pipe through a pipe fitting.

[0047] With the above structure, the user can take out the water gun 750 from the receiving cavity 130 through the second opening 131 to spray and wash the items that want to be cleaned.

[0048] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 The housing 100 is provided with an air supply component 760 and an air blowing pipe 770 located in the accommodating cavity 130. The air blowing pipe 770 is connected to the air supply component 760 through a pipe fitting. The air blowing pipe 770 can be taken out from the accommodating cavity 130 through the second opening 131 for air jet use. The air supply component 760 can be configured as an air pump or the like.

[0049] With the above structure, the user can take out the air tube 770 from the accommodating cavity 130 through the second opening 131 to dry the parts of the pet that are not yet dry.

[0050] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The chassis 100 is rotatably connected to a door component 140, which can rotate to open or close the second opening 131.

[0051] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
