[0002] Today, more and more designers are focusing on creating home environments that are beneficial to pets. As a result, we see a wide variety of pet products in different shapes, sizes, and types, as well as special design elements that are integrated into the overall home décor.

[0003] Pet sofas are a very common type of pet furniture. Most existing pet sofas are modeled after human sofas, but are scaled down to fit the size of pets and provide them with a place to rest. However, there is little innovation in the structure of existing pet sofas. For example, existing pet sofas generally do not have heat dissipation or heating functions. Therefore, in the hot summer, cats and dogs and other long-haired creatures are unwilling to sit on the sofa, and in the cold winter, pets are unwilling to sit on the cold sofa. Therefore, there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0027] In this embodiment, the heat exchange mechanism includes a semiconductor refrigeration component 10 and a heat sink 11. The semiconductor refrigeration component 10 is fixed inside the sofa frame 1. The cooling end of the semiconductor refrigeration component 10 is in contact with the pipe 4, and the heat sink 11 is in contact with the heating end of the semiconductor refrigeration component 10.

The water collection box 17 is fixed on the base plate 13.

[0035] In this embodiment, a controller is also included in actual use. The controller is electrically connected to the semiconductor cooling component 10, the circulating pump 3, and the fan 12 via wires.

The heating end of the semiconductor cooling component 10 is in contact with the pipe 4, and the radiator 11 is in contact with the cooling end of the semiconductor cooling component 10. A fan 12 is also provided on one side of the radiator 11. In this way, when it is necessary to heat the water pad 2, by bringing the pipe 4 into contact with the heating end of the semiconductor cooling component 10, the heat from the other end of the semiconductor cooling component 10 when it is cooling can be used to heat the water pad 2. In this way, the heat is used to raise the temperature of the outer covering layer 7 of the sofa frame 1. At this time, the cold air generated by the temperature drop on the radiator 11 will evaporate under the action of the fan 12.
