Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air purifier technology, and in particular to a pet air purifier. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, pets have gradually become indispensable members of many families. The number of cat-owning households continues to grow, and pet owners are paying more and more attention to their cats' quality of life, not only pursuing a healthy air environment but also hoping to provide their cats with ample opportunities for exercise and entertainment. Pet air purifiers, as commonly used devices for improving the air quality of pets' living environments, have been widely used in the market.

[0003] Existing pet air purifiers only have a fixed ball track at the bottom. If the pet does not actively move the ball, it remains stationary, and the pet easily loses interest. Its function is relatively monotonous and lacks innovation in combining air purification with multi-dimensional pet interaction. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model proposes a pet air purifier that can use purified airflow to drive entertainment components used for walking cats, thereby achieving energy reuse.

[0005] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model provides a pet air purifier, including a purifier body and a cat-walking component. The air outlet on the purifier body is directed towards the cat-walking component, and the airflow from the outlet drives the moving parts of the cat-walking component to move.

[0007] The preferred technical solution of this utility model is that the air outlet is located on the top of the purifier body, and the cat-walking component is installed above the air outlet.

[0008] The preferred technical solution of this utility model is that the cat-walking component includes a ball track, on which several cat-walking balls are slidably arranged as moving parts, and the ball track has a hollow structure to allow airflow to pass through in order to drive the cat-walking balls.

[0009] The preferred technical solution of this utility model is that the ball track is a circular track.

[0010] The preferred technical solution of this utility model is that the ball track is composed of a turntable top cover and a turntable bottom support, the cat walking ball is located between the turntable top cover and the turntable bottom support, and the turntable bottom support has a hollow structure to allow airflow to pass through in order to drive the cat walking ball.

[0011] The preferred technical solution of this utility model is that the turntable top cover and the turntable lower support are rotatable and detachable.

[0012] The preferred technical solution of this utility model is that the hollow structure is inclined, so that the airflow passes through obliquely and drives the cat-walking ball to move.

[0013] The preferred technical solution of this utility model is that 2-5 cat-walking balls are set.

[0014] The preferred technical solution of this utility model is that a light guide is provided between the cat-walking component and the air outlet, and a light strip is provided inside the light guide.

[0015] The preferred technical solution of this utility model is that the purifier body also includes an air inlet and a dust collection mechanism for absorbing hair in the air. External air enters the dust collection mechanism through the air inlet, is purified, and is discharged from the air outlet.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention proposes a pet air purifier. By directionally pointing the air outlet of the purifier body towards a cat-walking component, when the pet air purifier is working, the airflow originally intended for air purification drives the moving parts of the cat-walking component. This airflow can be reused to power the cat-walking entertainment components, eliminating the need for an additional energy structure to drive the movement of these components. This structure not only achieves energy reuse but also promotes movement, thus making the pet cat more active. This invention fully utilizes the two major functions of a pet air purifier: air purification and pet entertainment. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] This embodiment provides a pet air purifier, such as... Figure 1-5 As shown, the internal vacuuming mechanism is visible in the diagram. Figure 1 The 3D view shows a partially hidden air outlet structure. This pet air purifier includes a purifier body 1 and a cat-walking component 2. The purifier body 1 also includes an air inlet 12 and a suction mechanism 13 for absorbing airborne hair. Outside air enters the suction mechanism 13 through the air inlet 12, is purified, and then exits through the air outlet 11. The airflow from the air outlet 11 on the purifier body 1 is directed towards the cat-walking component 2, and the airflow from the outlet 11 drives the moving parts of the cat-walking component 2. The structure of the purifier body here is basically the same as that used in conventional existing technologies. The technical solution of this embodiment achieves energy reuse by directionally directing the air outlet of the purifier body towards the cat-walking component, thus allowing the wind energy originally used for air purification to be reused to drive the cat-walking entertainment components. A high-efficiency fan and adjustable air duct are installed within the purifier body. The fan draws in indoor air, purifies it through the filter, and outputs it through the air outlet at a controlled wind speed and pressure. A shaped air guide or nozzle is equipped at the air outlet to concentrate the airflow and increase the wind speed. The airflow direction of the air guide can be adjusted via a rotating shaft or louver mechanism to align with the receiving surface of the cat-walking component. Moving parts are installed at the end of the cat-walking component. The flow of the airflow drives the movement of hanging toys, rolling balls, swing sticks, and other interactive moving parts for the cat. Proximity sensors or infrared sensors can also be installed; when the cat approaches, the system automatically increases the airflow to trigger the entertainment action, and conversely, it reduces the frequency to save energy. Overall, this solution directly drives the moving parts of the cat-walking component through the directional airflow from the air outlet, achieving energy reuse and synergistic operation of purification and entertainment functions.

[0029] Preferably, the air outlet 11 is located at the top of the purifier body 1, and the cat-walking component 2 is installed above the air outlet 11. This arrangement, with the air outlet at the top of the purifier body and the cat-walking component above it, is a further preferred solution because top-mounted airflow creates a more direct, focused, and less obstructed upward airflow from indoor furniture, thereby improving airflow efficiency and ensuring stable drive of the cat-walking component. Simultaneously, top-mounted airflow causes purified air to diffuse upwards, which is beneficial for indoor air circulation and reduces the probability of dust being re-inhaled from the bottom. In terms of implementation, an integrated air guide structure can be designed at the top cover of the purifier. The air guide has built-in adjustable blades or louvers to adjust the air outlet cone angle and wind speed, and is connected to the bottom of the cat-walking component via a threaded connection to ensure that the airflow does not swirl or escape. The structural material can be heat-resistant engineering plastic or aluminum alloy to improve rigidity and facilitate machine assembly.

[0030] Preferably, the cat-walking component 2 includes a ball track on which several cat-walking balls 21 are slidably mounted as moving parts. The ball track has a perforated structure 24 for airflow to pass through and drive the cat-walking balls 21. This solution is further preferred because ball-shaped moving parts have the characteristics of low friction, tactile friendliness, and interactive rolling. Cats have a high interest in rolling objects, and the movement of the balls in the track not only prevents the balls from scattering but also facilitates continuous visual and tactile stimulation. The perforated track allows the directional airflow of the purifier to act directly on or below the balls, using aerodynamics to drive them without the need for an additional motor, achieving energy reuse and cost reduction. The implementation methods may include: the ball track adopts an inwardly grooved profile, allowing the ball to roll freely within the track while being restricted from escaping; uniformly distributed air holes or slits (hollowed-out structures) are arranged below or on the sidewalls of the track, with the opening geometry, size, and density optimized according to the airflow velocity and the diameter of the ball to generate a tangential airflow component along the track direction, thereby propelling the ball to roll; the gap between the track and the hollowed-out holes should be controlled within a reasonable range between preventing hair from entering and ensuring the ball's degree of freedom; the material can be a smooth and wear-resistant engineering plastic, and the track surface is treated with low friction.

[0031] Preferably, the spherical track is a circular track. The reason for prioritizing a circular track is that the circular structure creates a continuous closed running path, avoiding energy waste and waiting time for the cat due to pauses during the return journey. The circular track allows for continuous cyclical movement of the sphere, providing more stable visual stimulation and attracting the cat to engage in prolonged interaction. Furthermore, the circular structure facilitates the even distribution of airflow throughout the track's circumference, improving drive uniformity. In practice, the track can be designed as a concentric circle or ellipse, with evenly distributed perforated channels on the inner side or lower part of the circular track. This allows directional airflow from the air outlet to be evenly injected into the ring through multiple inlets, forming a stable circulating air field.

[0032] Preferably, the ball track is composed of a turntable top cover 22 and a turntable lower support 23. The cat-walking ball 21 is located between the turntable top cover 22 and the turntable lower support 23. The turntable lower support 23 has a hollow structure 24 to allow airflow to pass through and drive the cat-walking ball 21. This structure has several advantages: the clamping method of the upper and lower supports can limit the ball from falling off while allowing the ball to slide freely between the two supports, improving safety; the turntable support allows the track to be modularized into rotatable or replaceable units, which is convenient for maintenance; the hollow of the turntable lower support can collect the airflow guided by the air outlet of the purifier body and form a thrust under the ball, thereby efficiently utilizing the air outlet of the purifier for mechanical action. Specifically, the turntable lower support 23 is composed of two parts, a turntable middle frame 231 and a hollow bottom frame 232, which are threadedly connected together, and the hollow structure 24 is located on the hollow bottom frame 232.

[0033] Preferably, the turntable top cover 22 and the turntable lower support 23 are rotatably detachable. Specifically, the turntable top cover 22 has a plurality of locking members 221 arranged in a ring, and correspondingly, the turntable middle frame 231 has a plurality of fixing parts 2311 arranged in a ring. The turntable top cover is fixed to the fixing parts of the turntable middle frame by the locking members, thereby realizing rotatability and detachability. The rotatable and detachable design significantly improves the maintainability of the product: users can easily disassemble the turntable for cleaning (removing hair, dust, or food residue).

[0034] Preferably, the perforated structure 24 is inclined, allowing airflow to penetrate obliquely and drive the cat-walking ball 21 to move. This design is preferred because obliquely penetrating airflow generates tangential force more easily than vertical airflow, directly converting it into driving force along the track direction, thereby improving the ball's tangential driving efficiency and reducing the required overall wind pressure; the oblique holes / grooves can also form local vortices when the airflow contacts the ball, smoothly starting the ball and reducing collision noise and discomfort to the cat caused by sudden acceleration.

[0035] Preferably, 2-5 cat balls are used. Multiple balls can circulate simultaneously within the track, increasing the richness and randomness of interaction and preventing the cat from quickly becoming bored with a single ball. A range of 2-5 balls ensures sufficient visual stimulation while avoiding excessive congestion that could lead to blockages or uneven airflow. This range also facilitates control of total weight and frictional resistance, maintaining stable movement even with limited wind energy. In terms of implementation, the appropriate number of balls and spacing should be calculated based on the track circumference and ball diameter to avoid mutual compression. Generally, a net spacing between balls ≥ 0.2-0.5 times the ball diameter ensures no interference. The ball material should ideally be lightweight yet sturdy plastic or a foam-filled shell to balance rolling performance and a safe feel. Users can also replace the number of cat balls by removing the turntable cover according to their actual needs.

[0036] Preferably, a light guide 3 is provided between the cat-walking component 2 and the air outlet 11, and the light guide 3 contains an LED strip. The light and visual stimulation can significantly enhance the cat's attention, prolong the interaction time, and form a multi-sensory linkage with the airflow drive; in terms of appearance, it can evenly diffuse the light effect and enhance the product's attractiveness. The light guide can be made of transparent or semi-transparent optical-grade polycarbonate or PMMA material, and a high-density flexible LED strip is embedded inside along the perimeter or bottom. The shape of the light guide can be cylindrical or trumpet-shaped to take into account both visual effect and airflow shaping.
