Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pet supplies technology, specifically relating to an electric grooming component. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing number of pet owners, pet grooming has become a core need in daily pet care, especially during shedding season. Shed fur can easily spread and pollute the environment, and tangled fur can also affect the health of pets.

[0003] Traditional manual pet hair removal rollers can only remove the surface downy hair of pets, and are not very effective at removing the inner layer of fur and tangled hair. They also require frequent manual cleaning of the roller surface, making the operation cumbersome and inefficient. Some electric combs use a brush needle belt drive structure, and after prolonged use, stray hairs tend to get tangled on the brush needles, requiring manual disassembly and cleaning, which affects the efficiency of use. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to provide an electric combing component to solve the problem that hair tends to accumulate on the comb teeth during the combing process of an electric comb, thus affecting the combing efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an electric combing assembly, comprising a roller support and a combing roller, wherein comb teeth are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the combing roller, the combing roller is rotatably mounted on the roller support, and felt is provided on the inner wall of the roller support facing the comb teeth, and further comprising a drive device for driving the combing roller to rotate.

[0006] The working principle and beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: the drive device drives the combing roller to rotate around its own axis, and the comb teeth on the outer peripheral wall of the combing roller rotate synchronously with the roller. When the comb teeth come into contact with the pet's hair, the comb teeth comb and remove the loose hair through the rotation process. When the combing roller rotates to the position of the felt, the felt absorbs and scrapes the comb teeth, causing the hair on the comb teeth to fall off and keeping the comb teeth clean.

[0007] Most importantly, the felt on the inner wall of the roller support maintains intermittent contact with the rotating comb teeth. Regardless of whether a pet passes by, the felt continuously scrapes against the comb teeth and roller surface as the comb roller rotates. Even when no pet is present, any remaining hair on the roller and comb teeth is automatically scraped away by the felt. This prevents shed hair from scattering into the air and polluting the environment, keeps the comb teeth clean, reduces the frequency of manual grooming, and effectively improves the efficiency of subsequent grooming operations. It is especially suitable for pets with abundant fur or those in their shedding season.

[0008] Optionally, the roller support is provided with a fixing groove, and the drive device is installed inside the combing roller. The output shaft of the drive device extends out of the end of the combing roller along the axial direction of the combing roller and is engaged with the fixing groove on the roller support. When the drive device is powered on and started, the output shaft of the drive device rotates around its own axis. Since the output shaft is engaged with the fixing groove, the rotation of the output shaft generates a reaction force, which drives the combing roller to rotate around its own axis.

[0009] Optionally, the outer peripheral wall of the drive unit output shaft is provided with a protruding structure, and the inner side wall of the fixing groove is provided with a groove structure that matches the protruding structure. This effectively prevents slippage or loosening of the drive unit output shaft and the fixing groove during relative rotation, and facilitates quick alignment and installation of the output shaft and the fixing groove, which is beneficial for equipment maintenance and component replacement.

[0010] Optionally, a transmission component is provided on the side wall of the roller support corresponding to the end of the combing roller. The drive device is installed at the bottom of the roller support, and the output end of the drive device drives the combing roller to rotate through the transmission component. The transmission component is located at the end of the combing roller, away from the combing area, which can prevent the combed hair from getting tangled in the transmission components and avoid the combing roller from stopping or slowing down due to transmission jamming.

[0011] Optionally, the transmission component is a gear structure, including at least one gear. One end of the combing roller has a rotating shaft, and the roller support has a mounting hole adapted to the rotating shaft. The gear and the rotating shaft are coaxially and fixedly connected, and the output end of the drive device meshes with the gear. The gear meshing transmission ratio is fixed, avoiding sudden changes in rotation speed due to transmission slippage. Moreover, the gear structure is compact and can fit into the limited space at the end of the roller support, eliminating the need for additional large-sized installation positions and reducing the overall space occupied by the component.

[0012] Optionally, the transmission assembly is a belt structure, including a drive pulley, a driven pulley, and a transmission belt. The drive pulley is installed at the output end of the drive unit, the driven pulley is installed at the end of the combing roller that extends out of the roller support, and the transmission belt is sleeved between the drive pulley and the driven pulley. The transmission belt has elastic cushioning characteristics; when the comb teeth encounter hard objects or sudden loads, the transmission belt can slip slightly, protecting the comb teeth from being broken by force. Furthermore, the transmission belt produces less noise when in contact with the pulley, especially when grooming pets, reducing noise disturbance and lowering the pet's resistance to grooming.

[0013] Optionally, the bottom of the roller support has a cavity structure that is connected to the space where the combing roller is located. The cavity is connected to the combing space, and the hair under the comb teeth can accumulate in the cavity. This facilitates centralized cleaning and prevents hair from accumulating at the base of the comb teeth or on the outer wall of the roller. It also prevents shed hair from scattering into the air and polluting the environment.

[0014] Optionally, the comb teeth are bent in the same direction or opposite to the direction of rotation of the combing roller. The bent comb teeth can effectively reduce the risk of scratching or pricking the pet's skin when in contact with the pet's skin, and can also reduce excessive pulling on the pet's fur. They are gentler when untangling the fur and protect the pet's fur from damage.

[0015] Optionally, the outer peripheral wall of the portion of the combing roller exposed from the roller support is provided with felt, and the comb teeth are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the felt along the axis of the combing roller. The felt on the exposed portion of the combing roller can directly contact and absorb loose hair from the pet when the combing roller rotates, enhancing the collection effect of shed hair. After contacting the pet's hair, the comb teeth on both sides can be cleaned in time when they rotate to the felt position of the roller support, reducing hair residue.

[0016] Optionally, a baffle can be detachably connected to the outer peripheral wall of the combing roller. When a pet passes by and rubs against the baffle, it can cause the baffle and the combing roller to rotate, enabling rotation even without a drive mechanism. At the same time, the presence of the baffle can prevent hair from getting tangled between the comb teeth. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method: The markings in the accompanying drawings include: roller bracket 1, fixing groove 11, felt 12, combing roller 2, comb teeth 21, baffle 22, servo motor 3, locking block 31, mounting base 32, gear structure 4, drive gear 41, transmission gear 42, rotating shaft 43, mounting hole 44, and cover 45.

[0019] Example 1 This embodiment is basically as follows: Figure 1As shown: An electric grooming assembly is installed on a smart litter box, including a roller bracket 1, a grooming roller 2, and a drive device. The smart control module on the smart litter box is electrically connected to the drive device to control the start, stop, and direction of the drive device.

[0020] The roller bracket 1 is integrally injection molded from high-strength plastic. Symmetrical mounting holes 44 are provided on both sides of the roller bracket 1 for mounting the combing roller 2. One of the mounting holes 44 is an integrally formed fixing groove 11. The inner wall of the fixing groove 11 has a snap-fit ​​groove to provide snap-fit ​​positioning for the output shaft of the drive device. Felt 12 is detachably attached to the inner wall of the roller bracket 1 facing the combing roller 2, corresponding to the arc-shaped area of ​​the combing roller 2's rotation trajectory. The bottom of the roller bracket 1 has a cavity structure, which is connected to the space where the combing roller 2 is located.

[0021] The combing roller 2 has a cylindrical hollow structure and is rotatably mounted in the roller bracket 1. The portion of the combing roller 2 protruding from the outer peripheral wall of the roller bracket 1 is provided with felt 12, which can be detachably attached to the outer peripheral wall of the roller using double-sided adhesive. The outer peripheral wall of the combing roller 2 has comb teeth 21 arranged along its axial direction, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the felt 12, with one row of comb teeth 21 on each side. The comb teeth 21 are bent in the same direction along the rotation direction of the combing roller, preventing sharp teeth from scratching the pet's skin and enhancing the combing effect.

[0022] In this embodiment, the driving device is a servo motor 3, which can be embedded in the hollow cavity of the combing roller 2. The driving device is detachably fixed to the combing roller 2 by bolts. The output shaft of the servo motor 3 extends out of the end of the roller along the axis of the combing roller 2. The outer peripheral wall of the output shaft of the servo motor 3 is provided with a locking block 31, which is adapted to the locking groove of the fixing groove 11 of the roller bracket 1 to achieve locking. Using the servo motor 3 as the driving device, the combing roller 2 can continuously oscillate back and forth. Even when no cat passes by, the combing roller 2 can still maintain the oscillation state. At this time, the felt 12 on the inner wall of the roller bracket 1 will continuously scrape the comb teeth 21 and the roller surface as the roller rotates, automatically removing residual hair and letting it fall into the cavity, avoiding hair accumulation that affects the subsequent combing effect, and reducing the frequency of manual cleaning. This ensures that the comb teeth 21 are clean each time the combing is performed, effectively improving the combing efficiency.

[0023] The specific implementation process is as follows: When the power to the servo motor 3 is turned on, the output shaft of the servo motor 3, due to the engagement of the locking block 31 with the locking groove of the fixing slot 11, generates a reaction force during rotation, causing the combing roller 2 to oscillate back and forth around its own axis. The comb teeth 21 on the outer periphery of the combing roller 2 oscillate synchronously with the roller. When the comb teeth 21 contact the pet's fur, they hook and untangle the knots, and some of the loosened fur is picked up by the comb teeth 21. The synchronously oscillating felt 12 collects the loose fur during the combing process through adsorption, preventing the down from scattering. As the combing roller 2 rotates, the fur adsorbed by the felt 12 falls off and into the cavity structure at the bottom of the roller support 1. Regular disassembly allows for cleaning of the fur inside the cavity.

[0024] Example 2 The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that: the roller support 1 has an overall U-shaped structure with the opening facing the combing direction; the spacing between the inner walls of the roller support 1 is adapted to the diameter of the combing roller 2; a mounting base 32 is provided at the bottom of the roller support 1 for fixing the drive device; and mounting holes 44 are reserved on the end side wall of the roller support 1. A rotating shaft 43 is provided at the end of the combing roller 2, and the size of the rotating shaft 43 is adapted to the size of the mounting hole 44. The drive device uses a micro servo motor 3, which is fixed to the mounting base 32 with bolts.

[0025] The roller support 1 has a transmission component on the side wall corresponding to the end of the combing roller 2. In this embodiment, the transmission component is a gear structure 4, which uses four transmission gears 42 to mesh with each other to transmit kinetic energy. The center of the transmission gear 42 at one end of the gear structure 4 has a shaft hole, which is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 43 through an interference fit. The output end of the servo motor 3 has a drive gear 41 that matches the transmission gear 42. The rotation of the combing roller 2 is controlled by meshing. The gear structure 4 is covered with a cover 45, which is fixed to the side wall of the roller support 1 by bolts. The cover 45 can protect the stability of the transmission of the gear structure 4 and prevent external hair from getting tangled on the gear, causing the gear transmission to jam or stop. In other embodiments, the transmission component is a transmission belt structure, including a drive pulley, a driven pulley, and a transmission belt. The drive pulley is installed at the output end of the drive device, the driven pulley is installed at the end of the combing roller 2 that extends out of the roller support 1, and the transmission belt is sleeved between the drive pulley and the driven pulley.

[0026] In this embodiment, the bottom of the roller bracket 1 is provided with a battery compartment, which is connected to the drive device by a wire to supply power to the drive device.

[0027] A baffle 22 is detachably connected to the outer wall of the combing roller 2. The edge of the baffle 22 is provided with a protruding tenon. The outer peripheral wall of the combing roller 2 is provided with a groove that matches the protruding tenon along the axial direction, which is convenient for disassembly. When the power of the drive device is exhausted or malfunctions, there is no need to disassemble any parts. Manual combing can be achieved by using the detachable baffle 22. The pet's body contacts the baffle 22 and generates friction, which drives the baffle 22 and the combing roller 2 to rotate. The comb teeth 21 simultaneously comb the hair, solving the problem of not being able to use it when the power is off.

[0028] The specific implementation process is as follows: The battery compartment supplies power to the drive unit, the servo motor 3 starts and drives the combing roller 2 to rotate through the gear structure 4. When the combing roller 2 rotates, the outer comb teeth 21 penetrate deep into the hair roots to comb off loose and waste hair. At the same time, the felt 12 on the inner wall of the roller support 1 intermittently adheres to the surface of the comb teeth 21. As the roller rotates, the felt 12 scrapes off the hair attached to the comb teeth 21 in time, preventing hair from tangling and accumulating at the roots of the comb teeth 21. The gear structure 4 is located at the end of the combing roller 2, away from the combing area of ​​the comb teeth 21. The combed hair will not come into contact with the transmission components. In addition, the gear structure 4 is covered with a cover 45, which completely avoids the problem of hair tangling in the transmission components and causing jamming, ensuring that the roller rotates continuously and stably.
