[0014] Conclusions: As can be seen from the research carried out, none of the documents found solve the problems raised as the proposed invention does.

[0015] DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0016] The automatic or manual pet bathing booth with ozonated water, object of the present invention, consists of a booth that allows for bathing dogs with greater comfort, adaptability, spaciousness, and accessibility. Said booth has been optimized for bathing dogs, adapting to their coat needs and tolerance, allowing the automatic and manual bathing systems to be switched at any time. The water is distributed through pressure diffusers that generate sprayed water actuated by electric solenoid valves. It includes an ozone generator, which is injected and mixed with the water by means of a venturi. This action modifies the properties of the water, thus penetrating the ozone into the animal's dermis. The booth can dispense three types of shampoos that vary according to the animal's coat and needs. Before bathing begins, the booth undergoes a bactericidal disinfection process as a hygiene measure that ensures the elimination of potentially harmful germs.Both the shampoos and the bactericidal disinfectant are injected through four independent dosing pumps. The automatic drying system uses two turbines and two heating elements that heat the air to an electronically controlled temperature. This drying process is 62% quieter than a standard dog grooming dryer, allowing the dog to enjoy the bath while reducing stress during the process. If manual drying is desired, one of the dryers is activated (hot air is released through a tube with a nozzle).

[0017] The cabin is equipped with a touch screen, an RFID card reader, a computer, and software that controls operation via a control PCB that activates various components throughout the wash cycle, such as presence sensors, door sensors, the ozone generator, solenoid valves for water flow, a drain pump, a float, RGB LEDs, temperature resistors, temperature sensors, and dryers. The plumbing system includes a pressure valve for water inlet, a thermostatic valve, and a water heater.

[0043] A preferred embodiment of the automatic or manual pet bathing cabin with ozonated water object of the present invention, with reference to the numerical references, can be based on a cabin comprising an upper cover (1) and a lower cover (2) with hinges so that the user can introduce the animal and position it for the bath, for which there is a range of three sizes: Small side, medium or XL side (5) and large side. Below it has a service door (3). An emergency stop button (6) stops the wash in case of risk. A touch screen (4) connected to a computer allows the bath to be programmed and a card reader with RFID technology (7) allows payment and registration of the bath. For manual drying management it comprises a hot air outlet (8) where the nozzle of the manual dryer is coupled and for manual bath management it comprises a hot water outlet (9) where a water gun is coupled.If these manual operations (8 and 9) are not used, the washing process is automatic.

[0044] The water in the automatic process is distributed by means of pressure diffusers that generate pulverized water actuated by solenoid valves (14 and 15), comprising an ozone generator, which is injected and mixed with the water by means of a venturi. This action modifies the properties of the water, penetrating the ozone into the animal's dermis. The cabin can dose three types of shampoos (13) programmable by touch screen (5) according to the animal's coat and needs. Before starting the bath, the cabin carries out a bactericidal disinfection process as a hygiene measure that ensures the elimination of possible harmful germs. Both the shampoos and the bactericidal disinfectant product are injected through 4 independent dosing pumps (13).

[0045] The automatic drying system is carried out by 2 turbines and 2 resistors that heat the air to an electronically controlled temperature, generating this drying 62% less noise than a normal dog grooming dryer, which allows the dog to enjoy the bath reducing stress during the process. If you want to activate the manual dryer (12), one of the hot water outlets (8) is activated, through which hot air comes out through a tube and a drying nozzle.

[0046] The computer software controls the operation through a control PCB that activates the different components throughout the wash cycle, such as presence sensors, door sensors, the ozone generator, the solenoid valves (14 and 15) to allow water to pass through or close it, the drain pump, the float, RGB LEDs, temperature resistors, temperature sensors and dryers. Regarding the plumbing assembly (16), it comprises a pressure valve (19) for the water inlet (20), a thermostatic valve and a water heater (18). An electrical panel (17) distributes and protects the electrical system of the cabin.
