The pressure of water blowing can be secured.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, at least one or more detergent tanks according to the first aspect are provided, and the capacity of the detergent tank is at least 500 ml.

  For example, when a medium-sized dog is washed using the pet washing apparatus according to the present invention, about 500 ml of liquid detergent is consumed in one washing. Therefore, when the capacity of the detergent tank is limited to at least 500 ml so that the liquid detergent put into the detergent tank is used up in almost one washing, the detergent tank is empty when the pet washing apparatus is not used. In this state, the detergent tank itself can be washed as needed. Further, since the liquid detergent always remains in the detergent tank, it is possible to prevent the fluid passage from being clogged by the precipitate generated in the liquid detergent.

  For example, assuming that a large dog is to be washed or a large amount of liquid detergent is used, a plurality of washing tanks may be provided.

One end of the passage is connected, and an inner bottom surface is inclined toward the fluid passage, and a detergent tank for storing the liquid detergent and a passage of the liquid detergent provided in the fluid passage and introduced into the detergent tank An adjustment cock to be controlled, a check valve provided in the fluid passage, a gas suction pipe provided between the adjustment cock of the fluid passage and the check valve, and a detergent supply unit comprising:
The other end of the fluid passage is connected to the upper part, one end is a water supply end connected to a water supply source such as a hot water supply device via a hose, and the other end is a water discharge end connected to the shower head via another hose. , The detergent mixing part that has an aspirator structure inside,
The detergent supply part and the housing in which the detergent mixing part is provided.
In order to explain the structure and features of such a pet cleaning device, a specific example will be given and described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the pet cleaning device according to the present invention includes a detergent supply unit 2 installed in the housing 1, a detergent mixing unit 3, and a shower head 4 connected to the detergent mixing unit via a hose. Comprising.

  The housing is provided with a lid 10 on the upper surface so as to be freely opened and closed. The lid 10 may be a hatch type or a slide type.

  The detergent supply unit 2 includes at least one or more detergent tanks 20 for storing liquid detergents, a fluid passage 21 having one end connected to the bottom surface of the detergent tank and the other end connected to the detergent mixing unit 3, and the fluid passage 21. The adjustment cock 22 is provided below the detergent tank 20 and controls the passage of the liquid detergent by opening and closing the fluid passage 21, and on the fluid passage 21 in the detergent mixing portion to prevent backflow. And a check valve 24 provided at a close position.

  The detergent tank 20 is a cylinder or a cube whose upper surface is an open end, and the open surface is provided at a position corresponding to the lid of the housing 1. Further, one end of the fluid passage 21 is connected to the bottom surface, and the inner bottom surface is inclined toward the fluid passage 21 so that the detergent to be introduced flows into the fluid passage 21.

  The detergent tank 20 preferably has a capacity of 500 ml or more in view of the amount of detergent used for cleaning one pet. That is, the capacity is set so that the liquid detergent put into the detergent tank 20 in one washing is almost used up. Therefore, when the pet washing apparatus is not used, the detergent tank 20 is empty, and the detergent tank 20 itself can be washed as needed. Furthermore, if liquid detergent always remains in the detergent tank 20, it is predicted that clogging will occur in the fluid passage 21 due to precipitates generated in the liquid detergent, but the detergent tank 20 is always empty. In addition, since the detergent tank 20 itself can be washed at any time, it is possible to prevent clogging due to precipitates.

  For example, assuming that a large dog is to be washed or a large amount of liquid detergent is used, a plurality of washing tanks may be provided.

  Alternatively, the detergent tank 20 may be formed of a light transmissive material, and a viewing window 11 may be provided in which a plate made of a light transmissive material is fitted on the front surface of the housing 1 as disclosed in FIG. In this case, the remaining amount of the liquid detergent put into the detergent tank 20 can be visually confirmed, which is convenient for use.

  A switching knob 12 connected to the adjustment cock 22 is provided on the front surface of the housing 1. The adjustment knob 22 is driven by operating the switching knob 12 to control the passage of the liquid detergent.

  In addition, the pet cleaning device according to the present invention is carried to a hot water supply device or a place where a tap for waterworks is provided, and is used by connecting a hose. In this case, in order to obtain a stable installation of the housing 1, a separate pedestal (not shown) may be provided and fixed, or a leg part (not shown) may be provided. However, it may be hung at a fixed place or fixed with a fastening member.

  The fluid passage 21 may be a tube made of a metal material such as copper or stainless steel, or may be a tube made of hard resin. Further, a gas suction pipe 23 extending horizontally is provided on the fluid passage 21 and between the adjustment cock 22 and the check valve 24.

  The adjustment cock 22 and the check valve 24 may be conventional ones. The adjustment cock 22 uses, for example, a ball valve having a lever handle, and the check valve 24 uses, for example, a check valve.

  As disclosed in FIG. 3, the detergent mixing part 3 has an aspirator structure. That is, as disclosed in the drawings, one end of the detergent mixing portion 3 is used as a water supply end 30 and connected to, for example, a water heater or a water tap through a hose (not shown). The other end of the detergent mixing part 3 is a water discharge end 31 and is connected to the shower head 4 via a hose 40. Furthermore, a fluid passage is connected to the upper part.

  Inside the detergent mixing part 3, the part near the water supply end 31 is branched and extended from an appropriate position, and the diameter is gradually reduced along the axial direction to form the nozzle part 32. A nozzle 33 is formed at the tip of the nozzle portion 32. The spout 33 is located closer to the water discharge end 31 than the position where the flow path 21 is connected.

  In addition, the inner wall of the portion near the water discharge end 31 is inclined, the inner diameter gradually decreases toward the water discharge end 31, and a horizontal passage along the axial direction at an appropriate position near the water discharge end 31 from the nozzle 33 of the nozzle portion 32. 34 is formed. The inner diameter of the horizontal passage 34 is increased at a ratio of about 3: 5 with respect to the diameter of the jet nozzle, and the ratio between the inner diameter and the length of the horizontal passage 34 is 12: 1. Further, the water discharge port 35 of the water discharge end 31 has a diameter larger than the inner diameter of the horizontal passage 34.

  By limiting the aspirator structure of the detergent mixing part 3 to the above-described ratio, the venturi effect is surely generated in the aspirator structure, and shower water is discharged from the water discharge port 35, and shower water is blown out to the shower head. Therefore, a sufficient pressure can be ensured.

  The shower head 4 may be a well-known shower head, and is connected to the water discharge end 31 of the detergent mixing section 3 via the hose 40. However, as disclosed in FIG. 4, the brush-like portion 41 may be detachably provided and may be washed while applying the brush-like portion 41 to a pet to be washed as necessary. The brush-like portion 41 is made of a hard resin having elasticity, and a plurality of brush hairs 412 made of a material such as silicon are implanted on one surface of the base plate 410 having a plurality of holes, Engaging means 413 for engaging the shower head is integrally formed on the other surface, and is used by being attached to the shower head as necessary.

  Further, the housing 1 may be hung at an appropriate place, fixed by providing a separate pedestal (not shown), or provided with a leg (not shown).

  When using the pet washing apparatus having the above configuration, the hot water or water is supplied to the pet washing apparatus by connecting to a water heater or a tap through a hose. The detergent supply unit 2 is charged with a liquid detergent.

  The water that has entered the detergent mixing part 2 is ejected from the ejection port 33 through the nozzle part 32, and decompression is generated by the venturi effect. Therefore, gas is sucked from the gas suction pipe 23 provided in the fluid passage 21 and mixed into water. In this state, if the adjustment cock 22 provided in the fluid passage 21 is open, the liquid detergent introduced into the body detergent tank 20 is inhaled, and gas and detergent are mixed in the horizontal passage 34 of the detergent mixing section 3 to discharge. It spouts from the water port 35 through the hose to the shower head. For this reason, it is possible to easily wash the pet only by putting water containing detergent and gas on the pet, and there is no need to put it in a storage box and restrain it as seen in the prior art. Cleaning can be performed quickly without causing anxiety.

  When rinsing the pet to remove the detergent components, the supply of the detergent is stopped by operating the switching knob 12 and closing the adjustment cock 22, and water in which only gas is mixed out from the shower head 4.

  Usually, when washing pets, detergent is foamed and applied to the body of the pet. When the pet cleaning apparatus according to this device is used, shower water mixed with gas and detergent is ejected from the shower head, so that a sufficient cleaning effect can be obtained simply by applying it to the body of the pet. Therefore, it is possible to omit the work of lathering and applying the detergent. Further, it is possible to switch to shower water in which only gas is mixed by a simple operation of operating the switching knob. Therefore, it is possible to easily and quickly wash the pet. Moreover, since the pet is not restrained as seen in the prior art, the pet can be washed without giving excessive anxiety to the pet. In addition, the presence of gas in the shower water can alleviate the impact of the water and prevent the pet from feeling uncomfortable, and at the same time, the gas can be mixed to obtain a water-saving effect. As a matter of course, since no electrical energy is used, it is safe and the structure is simple, so that the manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

  The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. Accordingly, any modifications or changes that can be made by those skilled in the art, which are made within the spirit of the present invention and have an equivalent effect on the present invention, all belong to the scope of claims for registration of the utility model of the present invention. Shall.
