Detailed Implementation

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] As shown in Figures 1-10, the present invention discloses a pet dog paw cleaner, including a base 10, at least one cleaning component 20 rotatably mounted on the base 10, and a drive component 30 connected to the cleaning component 20.

[0036] The base 10 includes a base body 11, at least one container cup 12 disposed on one side of the base body 11, a cup lid 13 detachably mounted on the top of the container cup 12, and a drying groove 14 correspondingly disposed on one side of the container cup 12; the drying groove 14 is equipped with an absorbent pad (not shown) to absorb moisture from the pet dog's paws, making it easy to wipe away water droplets. The bottom end of the container cup 12 has a through hole (not shown), which is used to accommodate and install the cleaning component 20.

[0037] The cleaning component 20 includes an inner cup 21, soft bristles 22 evenly spaced along the inner wall of the inner cup 21, a rotating shaft 23 coaxially mounted at the bottom of the inner cup 21, a footrest 24 rotatably mounted at the top of the rotating shaft 23, and a driven gear 25 coaxially mounted at the bottom of the rotating shaft 23.

[0038] Specifically, the inner cup body 21 is rotatably installed inside the accommodating cup 12, the rotating shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the inner cup body 21, and the bottom end of the rotating shaft 23 is provided with a through hole and coaxially connected to the driven gear 25. The driven gear 25 is used to connect downward to the drive assembly 30 to obtain rotational power.

[0039] In this embodiment, the top end of the pivot 23 extends toward the footrest 24 and is rotatably connected to the bottom of the footrest 24. That is, with the pivot 23, the inner cup 21 and the footrest 24 coaxially arranged, the footrest 24 and the inner cup 21 can rotate relative to each other. The top surface of the footrest 24 is also provided with a plurality of anti-slip protrusions (not shown) evenly spaced to increase the anti-slip properties of the footrest 24. The footrest 24 is used to support the pet dog's paw.

[0040] In this embodiment, the soft brush bristles 22 are made of silicone or nylon, etc.

[0041] Specifically, in the first embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-4, the drive assembly 30 includes a power shaft 31 rotatably mounted on the bottom surface of the base body 11, at least one drive gear 32 mounted on the power shaft 31, a connector 33 coaxially mounted on one end of the power shaft 31, and a foot pedal 34 elastically connected to the base body 11; the bottom end of the foot pedal 34 passes through the base body 11 and is hinged to a connecting rod 35, the end of the connecting rod 35 away from the foot pedal 34 is used to hinge one side of the connector 33; wherein, the drive gear 32 meshes with the driven gear 25;

[0042] When in use, press the foot pedal 34 repeatedly towards the bottom of the base body 11. Through the cooperation of the connecting rod 35 and the adapter 33, the power shaft 31 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the drive gear 32, the driven gear 25 and the inner cup 21 to rotate synchronously.

[0043] Furthermore, the connecting rod 35 is a straight rod, and the adapter 33 is a fan-shaped block; or, the connecting rod 35 is an arc-shaped rod, and the adapter 33 is a straight block. Therefore, the connecting rod 35 and the adapter 33 only need to function as a crank lever, and their specific shapes are not limited.

[0044] In the second embodiment, as shown in Figures 5-6, the drive assembly 30 includes a power shaft 31 rotatably mounted on the bottom surface of the base body 11, at least one drive gear 32 mounted on the power shaft 31, a connector 33 coaxially mounted on one end of the power shaft 31, and a foot pedal 34 elastically connected to the base body 11; the bottom end of the foot pedal 34 passes through the base body 11 and is fixedly connected to a drive plate 36, the drive plate 36 is provided with a groove 360, and a protrusion 330 is connected to one side of the connector 33, the protrusion 330 being fitted into the groove 360; wherein, the drive gear 32 meshes with the driven gear 25.

[0045] In this embodiment, there is a vertical height difference between one end of the slide groove 360 ​​and the other end. When the drive plate 36 moves up and down, the protrusion 330 slides along the trajectory of the slide groove 360. Due to the height difference design of the slide groove 360, the protrusion 330 will experience a path change combining the vertical and horizontal directions during the sliding process. When this path change drives the protrusion 330 to move inside the slide groove 360, it applies a force with a constantly changing direction to the adapter 33. This force is effectively transmitted to the power shaft 31 through the adapter 33. Since the direction of the force is constantly changing, the power shaft 31 is subjected to a rotational torque and thus begins to rotate.

[0046] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7, the slide 360 ​​can be curved or broken, as long as there is a vertical height difference between the two ends of the slide 360.

[0047] In the third embodiment, as shown in Figures 8-10, the drive assembly 30 includes a power shaft 31 rotatably mounted on the bottom surface of the base body 11, at least one drive gear 32 mounted on the power shaft 31, a first transmission gear 37 coaxially mounted on one end of the power shaft 31, a transmission shaft 371 rotatably connected to one end of the power shaft 31, a second transmission gear 372 coaxially mounted on the end of the transmission shaft 371 near the power shaft 31, a synchronization gear 373 coaxially mounted in the middle of the transmission shaft 371, and a foot pedal 34 elastically connected to the base body 11; the foot pedal 34 has a slot 341 along its length, and the synchronization gear 373 is located inside the slot 341; the foot pedal The inner wall of the plate 34 corresponding to the slot 341 has a synchronous rack 342, which meshes with the synchronous gear 373, so that the foot pedal 34 can drive the transmission shaft 371 to rotate through the synchronous rack 342 and the synchronous gear 373; the first transmission gear 37 meshes with the second transmission gear 372, and the second transmission gear 372 and the synchronous gear 373 rotate in the same direction, which can drive the power shaft 31 to rotate synchronously with the transmission shaft 371; wherein, the driving gear 32 meshes with the driven gear 25, so the foot pedal 34 drives the transmission shaft 371, the power shaft 31, the driving gear 32 and the driven gear 25, thereby driving the inner cup 21 to rotate.

[0048] Furthermore, to improve the smoothness of the pedal 34's movement, an auxiliary rack 343 is provided on the inner wall of the pedal 34 on the opposite side of the slot 341 relative to the synchronous rack 342. The auxiliary rack 343 and the synchronous rack 342 are offset from each other. An auxiliary gear 374 is installed on the drive shaft 371 on the side corresponding to the synchronous gear 373. The auxiliary gear 374 and the drive shaft 371 can rotate relative to each other, that is, the auxiliary gear 374 and the synchronous gear 373 rotate in opposite directions. The auxiliary gear 374 is located inside the slot 341 and meshes with the auxiliary rack 343, which effectively reduces shaking during the movement of the pedal 34 and greatly improves the smoothness of the pedal 34's movement. The positions of the auxiliary gear 374 and the synchronous gear 373 can be interchanged without affecting the overall driving performance.

[0049] Furthermore, both the auxiliary gear 374 and the synchronous gear 373 are connected to the drive shaft 371 via one-way bearings, ensuring that the rotation axes of the auxiliary gear 374 and the synchronous gear 373 are always aligned with the axis of the drive shaft 371, effectively preventing the transmission from seizing up.

[0050] During the cleaning process, clean water or cleaning solution is injected into the inner cup 21. Then, the pet dog's paw is inserted into the inner cup 21 and it stands on the footrest 24. Under the weight of the pet dog's paw, the footrest 24 and the base body 11 are relatively fixed, so that the footrest 24 is fixed and the inner cup 21 can rotate freely. That is, the inner cup 21 and the footrest 24 rotate relative to each other, and the inner cup 21 rotates synchronously with the driven gear 25.

[0051] Therefore, when the pet owner repeatedly steps on the foot pedal 34 to drive the power shaft 31 to rotate, it in turn drives the inner cup 21 to rotate through the drive gear 32 and the driven gear 25. The rotation of the inner cup 21 causes the soft bristles 22 to brush the pet dog's paws. After brushing, the pet dog's paws are placed in the drying groove 14, where they rub against the absorbent pad to absorb moisture and make them easier to dry.

[0052] Of course, in actual cleaning, the dog's paws can also be suspended inside the inner cup 21, so that the dog's paws do not come into contact with the footrest 24, making it convenient to clean the bottom of its paws and toes.

[0053] Furthermore, pet owners can easily replace or clean the inside of the inner cup 21 by removing the cup lid 13 and disassembling the entire inner cup 21.

[0054] In this embodiment, the power shaft 31 is mounted on the bottom surface of the base body 11 via the bearing 310, and the number of drive gears 32 is equal to the number of cleaning components 20 and their positions correspond.

[0055] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2 or 6, when there are two or more cleaning components 20, different drive gears 32 can change the rotation direction of different inner cups 21 by setting different orientations;

[0056] When the drive gear 32 is set in opposite directions, the different inner cups 21 can rotate in opposite directions; when the drive gear 32 is set in the same direction, the different inner cups 21 can rotate in the same direction.

[0057] Specifically, an elastic element 38 is installed between the foot pedal 34 and the base body 11. One end of the elastic element 38 is pressed against the foot pedal 34, and the other end is pressed against the base body 11 to achieve elastic installation between the foot pedal 34 and the base body 11. The elastic element 38 can be a spring, a sheet, soft silicone, or other elastic material, which can provide elastic support for the foot pedal 34 so that it can automatically return to its original position after being stepped on. It is not limited to the elastic material mentioned.

[0058] The innovation of this invention lies in using a foot pedal to drive the inner cup to rotate, so that the soft bristles can rotate and clean the pet dog's paws. This not only effectively reduces the physical burden on pet owners, but also improves cleaning efficiency. At the same time, this pet dog paw cleaner has a simple structure, is easy to use, and has low production costs, which is conducive to rapid assembly and mass production.

This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementations that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
