Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of dryer technology, and more particularly to pet dryers. [Background technology]

[0002] Pet hair dryers are smart drying devices specially designed for pets. Their scientific airway design, precise temperature control, and low-noise operation allow them to dry pet fur quickly and safely, avoiding the high noise, high-temperature burns, and stress caused by traditional dryers. They are widely used in homes, pet shops, pet clinics, and other settings, and are suitable for a variety of pets, including cats, dogs, and rabbits. Traditional pet dryers only use a single fan design to blow warm air into the drying area, without a circulation mechanism. The warm air is lost directly after use, and the heater must constantly operate to compensate for the heat, resulting in reduced thermal efficiency. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] To solve the technical problem of low thermal efficiency due to the lack of circulation and recovery of warm air in conventional pet dryers. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is a pet dryer comprising a drying section and a driving section, the driving section being provided on one side of the drying section, the driving section comprising a fan assembly, the fan assembly comprising a case section, a driving motor, a first wind wheel, a second wind wheel and a heater, the driving motor being attached to the case section, the driving motor having a first wind wheel connected to one side of the case section, an air intake port on the case section corresponding to the first wind wheel and a second wind wheel connected to the other side of the case section, the case section having a mixed air duct at the bottom of the driving motor, a heater for heating air provided in the mixed air duct, an opening, a first exhaust port and a second exhaust port provided in the side wall of the drying section, the second wind wheel being provided corresponding to the opening, and the first exhaust port and second exhaust port being provided corresponding to the mixed air duct. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] The present invention has the following main beneficial effects: A pet to be dried is placed inside the drying unit, and the drive motor is started to rotate, simultaneously rotating the first and second fan wheels on both sides of the drive motor. The first fan wheel draws external air into the housing through the side air intake and sends it into the mixed air duct. The heater heats the air and releases it through the first and second exhaust ports, thereby quickly drying the pet's fur. The second fan wheel draws the warm air back into the housing and releases it back into the drying unit through the first and second exhaust ports. The warm air is recycled by the second fan wheel, reducing heating energy consumption, improving drying efficiency, and maintaining a stable temperature. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
