Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a pet dryer, and more particularly to a pet dryer technology that uses an existing hair dryer. [Background technology]
[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a common method for drying a pet after washing it is to use a hair dryer, or the like, that humans use to dry their hair, on the pet. However, with such hair dryers, the area that the hot air hits is small compared to the surface area of the pet being dried, so the hot air can only be applied locally, and drying takes a considerable amount of time. Also, pets tend to dislike being exposed to a large volume of air or high-temperature hot air in a localized area, and the person drying the hair has to hold the hair dryer, which means one hand is always occupied and it is difficult to groom the pet's fur. Also, there are times when it is better for the user to hold the hair dryer in their hand while drying the pet. Therefore, there was a need for a structure that could be switched between a state in which warm air was blown over a wide area on the pet, eliminating the need for the user to hold the dryer, and a state in which the user held the dryer and dried the pet.
[0003] To address this problem, various techniques have been proposed, such as a pet dryer (see Patent Document 1), which is a well-known technique. More specifically, the proposed technology is one that includes a drying assistant that has a pet storage section formed inside the inner surface of the air tunnel, and a blowing means that supplies air to the air tunnel of the drying assistant, with an air blowing section provided on the inner surface of the air tunnel so that the supplied air is blown out into the pet storage section, and that allows a general dryer to be used as the blowing means. However, although the dryer is detachably connected to the connecting tube, the dryer is fixed to the stand, making it difficult to switch between using it as a dryer and as a standalone hair dryer. Furthermore, while it is easy to use a storage cabinet as a housing unit for small pets, drying large pets takes time, so a dryer is required, but the storage cabinet becomes large and the device is difficult to store. Therefore, a compact foldable structure or a structure that dries the pet in an existing pet sink would be easy to use, but the above problem has not been solved.

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 11-264660 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] To provide a pet dryer that can appropriately switch between a state in which a user does not need to hold the dryer by blowing warm air over a wide area onto a pet and a state in which the user holds the dryer to dry the pet, and a pet drying box that can be dried in a pet sink and is foldable. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a pet dryer for drying pets after washing, which comprises an air distribution section that blows out warm air and a tubular section that sends warm air from a hair dryer to the air distribution section, the air distribution section has a tubular section hole at the top for inserting the tubular section and an air distribution port on the side for blowing out warm air, and is a rectangular parallelepiped with an open bottom, the tubular section has an upper section to which a hair dryer can be detachably placed, the lower section is inserted into the tubular section hole and sends warm air into the air distribution section, the air distribution port is composed of a hole or notch, and the tubular section hole is provided at one end of the air distribution section.
[0007] The present invention also employs a means in which a notch is provided on the side surface of the lower part of the cylindrical portion, and the direction of the notch can be changed relative to the longitudinal direction of the air distribution portion.
[0008] Furthermore, the present invention employs a means for allowing the tubular portion to be stored in the air distribution portion through an opening in the bottom surface of the air distribution portion.
[0009] Furthermore, the present invention employs a means in which the cylindrical portion is replaceable depending on the size of the pet.
[0010] Furthermore, the present invention employs a means in which the end face of the air distribution section other than the end face where the tubular portion hole is provided is open, and has an extension section that covers part of the air distribution section and is movable in the longitudinal direction, the extension section having an open bottom and an air distribution port on the side, the end face covering the air distribution section being open and the other end face being closed, and by changing the position of the extension section relative to the air distribution section, the range and number of the air distribution ports that blow out warm air can be changed.
[0011] Furthermore, the present invention employs a means in which a hair dryer holder is placed on the top of the tubular part, the hair dryer holder being cylindrical and having a tubular part receiving part on its outer periphery that abuts against the top of the tubular part, a hair dryer main body receiving part on the top that holds the hair dryer main body, and a hair dryer air outlet receiving part on the bottom that holds the air outlet of the hair dryer, and portions of the hair dryer main body receiving part and the hair dryer air outlet receiving part can be cut according to the shape of the hair dryer.
[0012] Furthermore, the present invention provides a foldable pet drying box for use with the pet dryer, which is a rectangular parallelepiped surrounded by a bottom and sides and open at the top, with the pet dryer placed on the bottom, the height of the sides being lower than the height of the cylindrical part of the pet dryer, which can be unfolded when not in use, and which has a waterproof sheet attached to connect the edges of each adjacent side. [Effects of the Invention]
[0013] The pet dryer of the present invention is convenient because it can be switched between a state in which a wide range of warm air is directed at the pet, eliminating the need for the user to hold the dryer, and a state in which the user holds the dryer and dries the pet, allowing for more accurate drying of the pet.

[0017] The pet dryer 1 dries pets after washing their hair. After washing the pet P in a pet sink or the like, the sink, dog bath, enclosed box with an open top, or the like is used to dry the pet P as is. When using the pet dryer 1, the top of the box-shaped container such as a sink is left open, allowing the pet to dry while combing its fur with a brush, etc., and since it is not sealed, it is less likely for the pet to become violent. The pet dryer 1 is a dryer for pets such as dogs and cats that uses an inserted hair dryer 40. It has an air distribution unit 10, which is an air distribution box with holes or notches at the bottom, and blows warm air up from below to dry the pet's feet and body. By blowing warm air up from the bottom, moisture can be efficiently released to the top as steam. Pets such as dogs can be dried in a sink with an open top, so they can stay there safely. The box is provided with a tubular part 20 which is an air blowing pipe extending above the top of the box and serves as an air blowing pipe and a hair dryer holder, so that drying from the bottom and partial drying of the head etc. can be performed while the animal is kept in the box. Since the hair dryer 40 is simply inserted into the cylindrical part 20, it is possible to remove the hair dryer 40 and dry the hair of the animal that has come out of the box, even if the head and back parts of the animal are still in the box, using only the hair dryer 40. A box-shaped sink or the like is large enough for a pet P such as a dog to turn around, thereby facilitating drying on both sides of the pet.
[0018] The pet dryer 1 is composed of an air distribution unit 10 that blows out hot air, and a tubular unit 20 that sends hot air from a hair dryer 40 to the air distribution unit 10. The hair dryer 40 can be an existing general one. The air distribution unit 10 is for sending warm air from the hair dryer 40 to the pet P from below over a wide range. Since the hot air from the hair dryer 40 passes through it, for example, a plastic cardboard made of polycarbonate or polypropylene with a heat resistance temperature of 100 degrees or more is suitable. The air distribution section 10 is a rectangular parallelepiped having a cylindrical hole 11 at the top for inserting the cylindrical section 20, an air distribution port 12 on the side for blowing out warm air, and a bottom opening 15 with an open bottom. The cylindrical portion hole 11 holds the cylindrical portion 20 while loosely holding it so that the cylindrical portion 20 can rotate. At least one side of the air distribution section 10 has a plurality of air distribution ports 12 for discharging hot air. The air distribution ports 12 are holes 13, which are opened side by side at the bottom of the side. The shape of the holes 13 may be circular or rectangular. By making the holes 13 horizontally long, it is possible to open them at a lower position overall, which is preferable. By making the arrangement range of the air outlet 12 approximately the same as the inner width of the pet sink 60, it is possible to send warm air from the air outlet 12 to the entire pet sink 60. Furthermore, if the air volume from the hair dryer 40 is greater than the air volume sent from the air outlet 12, the bottom of the air distribution section 10 is open, so the difference in air volume is discharged from the bottom opening 15, which is preferable as it does not place unnecessary strain on the hair dryer 40. 4(a), instead of the holes 13 of the air outlet 12, the air outlet 12 may be formed as a notch 14. By doing so, the same effect as that of the holes 13 can be obtained. By using the notch 14, the mold can be simplified because the mold removal direction and the shape of the notch match.
[0019] The cylindrical portion 20 holds the hair dryer 40 and sends hot air from the hair dryer 40 to the air distribution portion 10. The cylindrical part 20 has a structure in which a hair dryer 40 can be detachably placed at the upper part, and the lower part is inserted into the cylindrical part hole 11 to send hot air 25 into the air distribution part 10. Since the warm air from the hair dryer 40 passes through the cylindrical portion 20, it is suitable to use, for example, polycarbonate or polypropylene that can withstand a temperature of 100 degrees or higher. When the pet dryer 1 is used in a box such as a pet sink 60, the length of the tubular part 20 is made higher than the height of the box, so that the hair dryer 40 can be placed higher than the top of the box, thereby preventing water from entering the hair dryer or electrical problems caused by water splashing on it. The tubular portion 20 is cylindrical and slightly flared at the top, forming a dryer insertion opening 21 and a dryer contact portion 22. The lower portion is the portion that is inserted into the tubular portion hole 11 of the air distribution portion 10. The air outlet 23 at the bottom may be fixed directly to the tubular portion hole 11, and the entire airflow may be sent directly into the air distribution portion 10, as shown in Figure 3(a). Furthermore, a notch 24 may be provided in the lower air outlet 23 as shown in FIG. 3(c). In detail, a notch 24 is provided on the side surface near the air outlet 23 at the bottom of the tubular portion 20, and air is blown through the notch 24, and the direction of the notch 24 can be changed relative to the longitudinal direction of the air distribution portion 10. For example, the cutout direction of the notch 24 may be aligned with the longitudinal direction of the air distribution section 10 or may be aligned with the direction of one of the air distribution ports 12 . The cutout portion 24 is made by cutting out only the side surface of the tubular portion 20. This is because the stability of the tubular portion 20 relative to the air distribution portion 10 is improved by leaving the lower end portion uncut. By holding the notched portion 24 and rotating the tubular portion 20 relative to the air distribution portion 10, the air flow inside the air distribution portion 10 can be adjusted. For example, by making the notch portion 24 semi-cylindrical, it is possible to determine the direction without restricting the flow rate. Also, by making it arc-cylindrical, the amount of notch is smaller than in the semi-cylindrical shape, and it is possible to improve the directionality. Furthermore, a shape having a plurality of holes may be used. By providing a plurality of holes, the direction of the airflow can be finely adjusted by adjusting the position and number of the holes. The dryer insertion opening 21 is the portion into which the hair dryer air outlet 41 of the hair dryer 40 is inserted, and the size of the inner diameter of the dryer insertion opening 21 is slightly larger than the thickness of the hair dryer air outlet 41. Therefore, the hair dryer 40 can be easily attached to and detached from the tubular part 20. The dryer contact portion 22 is the portion that contacts the tip of the hair dryer air outlet 41. By providing the dryer contact portion 22, the tip position of the hair dryer air outlet 41 can be kept constant regardless of the type of hair dryer 40. By keeping it constant, it can be easily removed from the tube portion 20 regardless of the type of hair dryer 40. The side surfaces of the tubular portion 20 may also be covered with a heat insulating material. By covering with a heat insulating material, even if the side surfaces of the tubular portion 20 become hot due to the hot air, pets and the user will not come into direct contact with the hot side surfaces, providing peace of mind. Furthermore, by making the lower end of the tubular part 20 come into direct contact with a sink or the like, the weight of the hair dryer 40 is supported only by the tubular part 20. In this way, the air distribution part 10 only needs to be strong enough to maintain its own shape, which is preferable from a design standpoint. Furthermore, since the hole 11 for the tubular portion of the air distribution section 10 is provided at one end of the air distribution section 10, the tubular portion 20 is positioned near the end of the air distribution section 10, and the end face of the air distribution section 10 comes into contact with the side of the tubular portion 20, providing support and allowing the hair dryer 40 to be stably supported, which is preferable.
[0020] As shown in Figure 1, the pet dryer 1 is used by placing it in a pet sink 60 or the like with an open top. It is placed in contact with the side of the pet sink 60, and the pet P is placed in the pet sink 60 after washing. When washing the hair in the pet sink 60, after washing, the pet P can be dried in the pet dryer 1 in the pet sink 60 without moving the pet P. The user places the pet dryer 1 in the pet sink 60 and places the hair dryer 40 on top of the tubular part 20. By placing the hair dryer 40 and starting to blow warm air, the warm air is sent into the pet sink 60 from the air outlet 12 of the air distribution part 10, and the pet P can be dried by the warm air from below (Fig. 2(a)).
[0021] Furthermore, when drying the head, back, etc. of pet P, the user can remove the hair dryer 40 from the tubular portion 20, hold it in their hand, and use it in the same way as a normal hair dryer, thereby enabling efficient drying (Figure 2(b)). The height of the cylindrical portion 20 is slightly higher than the pet sink 60, so when using only the hair dryer 40, the hair dryer 40 is placed in an easily accessible position, which is convenient. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2(c), the air distribution section 10 and the tubular section 20 are separable, so when the pet dryer 1 is not in use, the tubular section 20 can be stored inside the air distribution section 10 through the opening on the bottom, as shown in Figure 2(d), allowing it to be stored compactly.
[0022] The state of airflow within the tubular portion 20 and the air distribution portion 10 will be described with reference to FIG. 3(a) and (b) show a case where the lower end of the tubular part 20 is fixed near the tubular part hole 11 and the airflow is sent from the tubular part 20 to the entire inside of the air distribution part 10. In FIG. The airflow is a smooth laminar flow S inside the tubular portion 20, but once inside the air distribution portion 10, the airflow hits the bottom and becomes greatly disturbed, turning into a turbulent flow R. Then, not much air flows out of the air distribution port 12 on the side, but more of it flows out from the opposite side of the air distribution portion 10. This is a phenomenon caused by the small pressure difference between the inside and outside of the air distribution section 10. Unlike the simple fluid flow inside the tubular section 20, the fluid inside the air distribution section 10 behaves in a manner such that the pressure is almost released. The air distribution section 10 has a gap at the bottom and many outlets, and the pressurized air inside the tubular section 20 expands inside the air distribution section 10 and hits the bottom surface, creating a turbulent state near the air distribution section 10, which is thought to reduce the amount of air discharged from the air distribution port 12. As the air moves away from the vicinity of the tubular portion 20, the air flow becomes laminar, making it easier for the air to be blown out from the sides due to the difference in pressure between the inside and outside, and since the ends are blocked, it is thought that a greater pressure difference occurs (Figure 3(b)).
[0023] On the other hand, by providing a notch 24 at the bottom of the tubular portion 20, the direction of the airflow from the tubular portion 20 is changed, and although the change in the air volume from the air distribution port 12 of the air distribution portion 10 is weakened, the air volume can still be changed (Figure 3(c)). When the cutout portion 24 is oriented in the longitudinal direction of the air distribution section 10, a laminar flow S is generated toward the end of the air distribution section 10, as in Figure 3(b), and the amount of air blown out increases toward the end (Figure 3(d)). When the notch 24 faces the direction of the air outlet 12, the airflow direction becomes oblique, and the amount of air blown out from the air outlet 12 increases (FIG. 3(e)).
[0024] For drying large pets such as large dogs, a wider range of airflow using the extendable extension is preferable. As shown in FIGS. 4(b) and 4(c), the configuration uses a blower section 10 and an extension section 30. The other end face of the air distribution part 10, which is the side where the tubular part 20 is not present, is open. The extension part 30 covers part of the air distribution part 10 from above and is movable in the longitudinal direction of the air distribution part 10. The bottom surface of the extension part 30 is open like the air distribution part 10, and has an air distribution port 12 on the side surface, with one end surface being open to cover the air distribution part 10 and the other end surface being closed. By changing the position of the extension portion 30 relative to the air distribution portion 10, the range and number of the air distribution ports 12 from which the hot air 25 is blown out can be changed. Fig. 4(b) shows the extension 30 in its most contracted state, which is suitable for small dogs, etc. Fig. 4(c) shows the extension 30 in its most extended state, which is suitable for medium to large dogs, etc. A scale 16 is provided on the top or side of the air distribution part 10, and by aligning the end of the extension part 30 with the scale 16, the position of the air distribution port 12 at the overlapping part of the air distribution part 10 and the extension part 30 is aligned, allowing air to be blown appropriately. Also, a cylindrical portion 20 may be placed at the closed end of the extension portion 30, and hot air may be blown from two cylindrical portions 20 (Fig. 4(d)). With such a configuration, even if the number of air outlets increases and the amount of air blown increases, sufficient hot air can be blown by using two hair dryers 40. When holes for two hair dryers 40 are provided and only one is used, the hole that is not used can be covered to stop the hot air from being exhausted. Furthermore, since the internal air pressure is low, by using a material such as rubber and providing some elasticity, it can be used as a lid without using special fasteners. Furthermore, when extending the extension part 30, the cylindrical part 20 can be replaced with one of a length that corresponds to the size of the pet, so that the height of the hair dryer 40 can be adjusted to a height suitable for the pet.
[0025] The pet drying box 50 will be described with reference to FIG. The pet drying box 50 is used for the pet dryer 1. A pet dryer 1 is placed at the bottom, the height of the side surface 52 of the box is lower than the height of the cylindrical part 20 of the pet dryer 1, the box can be unfolded when not in use, and a waterproof sheet is attached to connect the ends of the adjacent side surfaces 52. The pet drying box 50, which is a box into which a pet P such as a dog is placed during drying, can be made of plastic cardboard or the like and has a foldable structure. Since the pet drying box 50 is passed through by the hot air from the hair dryer 40, it is suitable to use a material such as polycarbonate or polypropylene that can withstand a temperature of 100 degrees or higher. After washing a pet P such as a dog, the pet dryer 1 is used after the water is dried with a towel or the like, and by using resin such as plastic board or resin-coated cardboard for the bottom 51 and sides 52 of the pet drying box 50, even if water drips from the wet pet P such as a dog, the floor will not get wet. The hair dryer 40 is held by the cylindrical part 20, and the top of the cylindrical part 20 is located higher than the box, so there is no risk of the hair dryer 40 being submerged in water. When unfolded, the pet drying box 50 looks like Figure 5(b). It consists of a bottom 51 and sides 52, and is open at the top. The edges of each side 52 are connected by a waterproof sheet 53. The waterproof sheet 53 has a crease in the middle, so that it can be naturally folded inward when assembling the pet drying box 50. By providing the waterproof sheet 53, when the pet drying box 50 is assembled, water will not leak from the area where the waterproof sheet 53 is provided, as shown in Figure 5(a), so pet P can be dried without worrying about water leaking to the surrounding area. Furthermore, by fastening the sides 52 together with the fasteners 54 that fasten the sides 52, the pet drying box 50 will not accidentally unfold during the drying process, which is convenient. In addition, the height of the pet drying box 50 and the height of the tubular part 20 are always higher than that of the tubular part 20, which reduces the risk of water splashing onto the hair dryer 40 during drying.
[0026] In this embodiment, the dryer insertion port 21 is located at the top of the tubular portion 20, but since there are many types of hair dryers and they come in a variety of shapes, a hair dryer holding portion 70 that can accommodate them can also be used. The hair dryer holder 70 will be described with reference to FIG. The hair dryer holding part 70 is inserted into the upper part of the cylindrical tube part 20 as shown in FIG. 6(b) and holds the vicinity of the hair dryer air outlet 41 of the hair dryer 40. Since the temperature near the dryer air outlet 41 reaches about 90 degrees, it is preferable to use silicone rubber or butyl rubber, which has an operating temperature range of 130 degrees or higher. The hair dryer holder 70 is cylindrical as a whole, and a flange-shaped tube receiving portion that abuts against the inlet of the tube portion 20 is arranged at the middle of the outer periphery. A hair dryer air outlet receiving part 73 is disposed at the bottom of the hair dryer holding part 70, and the hair dryer air outlet 41 comes into contact with it (FIG. 6(a)). As shown by the dashed lines in Figure 6(a), the hair dryer holder 70 can be cut with scissors or a cutter to fit the shape of the hair dryer by cutting a part of the hair dryer body receiving part 72 or a part of the hair dryer air outlet receiving part 73. By cutting, it can accommodate hair dryers of various shapes. Also, instead of cutting completely, a slit may be made. Specifically, for example, as shown in Figure 6(c), when the length of the hair dryer is short, in order to increase stability during insertion, a part of the hair dryer body receiving portion 72 can be cut off like the cut portion 74, and the handle portion can be inserted deep into the hair dryer holding portion 70, thereby making it more stable. In addition, if the hair dryer air outlet 41 is long and large, the hair dryer air outlet receiving portion 73 can be cut out as shown in Figure 6(d), allowing the hair dryer air outlet to be inserted deeper and the hair dryer 40 to be placed stably.
[0027] In this way, the pet dryer of the present invention can be switched between a state in which warm air is blown over a wide area, eliminating the need for the user to hold the dryer, and a state in which the user holds the dryer to dry the pet, making it more convenient and allowing for more accurate drying of pets.
[0028] Furthermore, by providing a notch in the lower part of the cylindrical portion, the direction of the hot air from the dryer can be conveniently adjusted.
[0029] Furthermore, by making it possible to store the tubular portion inside the air distribution portion through an opening in the bottom surface of the air distribution portion, the dryer can be stored compactly when not in use.
[0030] Furthermore, by making the cylindrical portion replaceable, it can be used for a wide range of pets, from small to large, which is convenient.
[0031] Furthermore, by making the air distribution section extendable, it can accommodate pets of different sizes.
[0032] Furthermore, by locating the hair dryer holder on the top of the cylindrical part, it is possible to accommodate many hair dryers, and the user can use it without any problems regardless of the type of hair dryer they own.
[0033] Furthermore, the pet drying box according to the present invention is unfoldable and can be stored compactly when not in use. [Industrial Applicability]
[0034] The pet dryer and pet drying box according to the present invention are believed to have great industrial applicability as pet dryers that utilize existing hair dryers. [Explanation of symbols]
