Description

The present invention relates to an electric trimming apparatus for pets in which hair removal is difficult to dissipate and the treatment of hair removal attached to brushes is unnecessary.

The territory dogs kept as pets have a natural hair-reversal function unlike other dogs, and their hair is constantly growing. Therefore, when breeding this breed, it is necessary for the owner to periodically remove the hair, which is called “trimming”.
There are two purposes for this trimming, one is to stimulate the captives by removing the hair and protect the dog from skin cancer, and to maintain the figure and maintain the shape of the terrier species. The trimming of a terrier dog is not cutting the hair, but pulling it off, and the cut hair becomes dull and white, and it gets worse and worse. Has and is very healthy.

The usual trimming work of a terrier dog performed for the above-described purpose needs to be performed at a frequency of at least once every two to three months, and is ideally performed more than once a month. However, in the case of the largest airedale terrier among the terrier dogs, it takes 6 to 7 hours for one trimming even for a dog familiar with the conventional hair removal method using a trimming knife. In addition, the hair removal by the trimming knife requires a considerable force, and when the work is finished, the owner's hand is full of beans, which is a very hard work.

Airedale Terrier's hair is thinner and softer than human hair, causing the following problems.
When a mechanical device is used for hair removal, the Airedale terrier's hair is caught in the gears and rotating parts of the electric device, and it is difficult to obtain a mechanical device suitable for hair removal of the Airedale terrier.
In addition, Airedale Terrier has a problem that when the coat is cut off, the gloss is lost or the hair becomes white.

As a general electric device for removing hair from a pet, a device mainly equipped with a rotary brush is mainly used. For example, a hair removal brush as disclosed in Utility Model Registration No. 3097337 (see Patent Document 1). Rotate the body and pass the adhesive tape through the position where the epilation attached to the brush can be peeled off. Simultaneously with the rotation of the epilation brush body, rotate the adhesive tape desorption body with the gear and remove the epilation by the adhesive tape entangled in the adhesive tape desorption body. There has been proposed a hair removal treatment machine in which an adhesive tape detachable body can be easily removed from a body.
Further, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-159568 (see Patent Document 1), the tooth length is formed shorter than the gripping portion of the animal extending from the gripping portion and the hair to be removed. An animal hair removal tool comprising a comb portion having a plurality of short comb teeth is also known.

However, since each of the above prior art uses brushes for the basic hair removal mechanism, hair removal is easily dissipated no matter how a vacuum type suction mechanism is provided, and the hair removal attached to the brushes used. It was accompanied by the troublesome problem of having to perform the process.

Utility Model Registration No. 3097337 JP 2004-159568 A

Embodiments of an electric trimming device for pets according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.
1 to 10 for explaining an embodiment of the present invention, an electric trimming device for pets is equipped with a trimming table 61 and a hair removal device that can be carried by being suspended by a suspension rail installed on the trimming table 61. The mechanism 11 includes an electric motor 31 and a hair removal suction device 41 that do not need to be carried separately .

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the hair removal mechanism 11 includes a pair of gears 12, 12 ′ facing teeth 13 for removing pet hair, and the electric motor that drives the gear 12. A flexible shaft 14 connected to 31 and a suction part 16 having an opening of a suction pipe 15 disposed on the side surfaces of the pair of gears 12 and 12 '.
As shown in FIG. 4, the pair of gears 12, 12 ′ includes a drive-side gear 12 having spiral teeth 13 and a pulley-like driven gear 12 having a contact surface of the spiral teeth 13. The pet's hair is pulled out at the contact surface of the pair of gears 12 and 12 '.

The drive-side gear 12 is mounted on a drive shaft 18 housed in a housing 17 attached to the suction portion 16, and is attached to the drive shaft 18 and the end of the flexible shaft 14 installed at a predetermined interval from the drive shaft 18. The timing pulleys 19 (see FIG. 6) attached to each other are connected by a timing belt 20 to transmit the rotation of the flexible shaft 14 to the drive shaft 18.
That is, a large force is required at the moment of removing the hair, and a large motor is required because hair removal cannot be performed with a motor with a small weak force. On the other hand, since it takes 2 to 3 hours to work even if it is performed electrically, it is difficult to work with the hair removal mechanism 11 held by hand with a heavy motor. Further, since the hair removal work is a work while moving to each part of the body, how to secure the power for rotating the gears 12 and 12 'is also a big problem.
Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in the overall configuration diagram of FIG. 10, a flexible shaft 14 is used, and a suspension rail 63 is installed on the upper part of a trimming table 61, which will be described later. The problem was solved by lifting the mechanism 11 and absorbing its weight.

A bracket 21 is provided at the lower end of the housing 17 and includes a holder portion 22 for the flexible shaft 14 and bends both sides toward the suction pipe 16 to form a guide portion 24. The grip portion 23 formed in a thickness is used as a guide when gripping with a hand.

FIG. 5 is a view for explaining a leaf spring 25 for elastically contacting the pair of gears 12 and 12 ′.
That is, since the thickness of the hair of a terrier dog or the like is thinner than that of human hair, if there is a gap between the teeth 13 of the gears 12 and 12 ', it will slip through them. On the other hand, if the distance between the teeth 13 of the gears 12 and 12 'is fixed so as not to move, the hair is broken.
Further, the amount of hair entering through the suction port 73 is not constant depending on the state of inhalation at that time and the density of hair growing. In extreme terms, there are tens of times and hundreds of times. That is, the amount of hair is not constant. In addition, the hair that has been well wrinkled is thick, but the hair that has not been trimmed remains thin, and the thickness of the hair itself is not constant.

The contact portion of the gears 12 and 12 'corresponds to the amount of bristle and the thickness of the hairs, and in order to always pull out the hairs that go between the teeth 13 of the gears 12 and 12' without cutting them. Need to be elastically contacted.
By the way, although an experiment using a gear made of elastic urethane resin was conducted, a considerable force was required to pull out the hair, and the urethane resin gear was scraped or bent, and as a result, the urethane resin gear was practically used. It turned out to be unbearable.

In order to satisfy the above conditions, a leaf spring is used in order to keep the gears 12 and 12 'made of a hard material always engaged with a constant force, and to maintain a distance corresponding to the amount of hair and the thickness of the hair. By using the No. 25, the teeth 13 of the pair of gears 12, 12 ′ are kept in close contact with each other with elasticity.
As shown in FIG. 5, a connecting piece 27 that is connected to the drive shaft 18 and holds the drive shaft 18 so as to be able to swing is attached to the support shaft 26 on which the leaf spring 25 is pivotally attached. The leaf spring 25 is built in a notch 28 formed in the direction. Therefore, the driving side gear 12 is biased toward the driven side gear 12 'by pressing the connecting piece 27 with the leaf spring 25, and the teeth 13 of the pair of gears 12, 12' are made elastic. It can be kept in close contact with each other.
Although this is the strength of the load applied by the leaf spring 25, this adjustment is very difficult. That is, if the load is too strong, it will be cut off, and if it is weak, it will pass through the teeth 13. It is desirable to determine the strength of the leaf spring 25 by performing an appropriate test. The effect of the leaf spring 25 is remarkable, and is a very important component indispensable for the performance of the trimming apparatus.

The tweezers gear uses two kinds of gears 12, 12 'as shown in FIG. The gear 12 ′ having a small diameter is a roll-shaped gear, while the gear 12 having a large diameter is processed. That is, the gear 12 is divided into four stages, about 60% of the teeth 13 of each stage are shaved, and the shaved portions are evenly shifted to form one gear.
By doing so, one of the four stages of the gear 12 is always in contact with the other gear 12 ', so that the rotation of the gear 12' can be ensured. At this time, a gap is formed between the other three steps not in contact with the other gear 12 '. The hair is sucked into this gap, and is pulled out by the next tooth 13 that has rotated. Since there is no space between the smooth gears (roll-shaped surfaces) for the hair to be sucked in, even when sucked by the suction device 41, the hair does not enter between the gears 12, 12 ′. In order to solve this, the processing of cutting the teeth 13 of the gears 12 and 12 'is performed.

As shown in FIG. 10, the electric motor 31 imparts a driving force to the drive shaft 18 connected to the flexible shaft 14. The electric motor 31 operates at 100V, and can be powered from the household outlet.

The hair removal suction device 41 includes a suction motor 43 connected to the suction part 16 of the suction pipe 15 via a duct hose 42 and a hair tank 44 that accumulates hair removal before the suction motor 43 by a filter 45. The hair removal can be sucked by driving the suction motor 43. The suction motor 43 can be suitably used because a commercial vacuum cleaner has a very strong suction force.

That is, there are two problems with the hair removal suction device 41. One problem is that since this operation requires two to three hours, the durability of the normal suction motor 43 cannot be ensured, and the suction force is weak. In order to solve this, it is desirable to use a large vacuum cleaner for business use.
Further, the amount of hair removed is very large, and the dust collection part is filled up even with the suction motor 43 composed of a large-scale vacuum cleaner for business use. This was dealt with by attaching a spare hair tank 44 incorporating a filter 45 between the suction motor 43 and the hair removal mechanism 11. By doing so, the amount to be stored can be secured, and furthermore, the extracted hair can be easily processed.

The hair removal suction device 41 is housed in a holding frame 46 with casters 47, and the electric motor 31 is movably attached to a guide rail 48 suspended on the upper portion thereof via a slide portion 49. . Reference numeral 50 denotes a support shaft that holds the electric motor 31 on the slide portion 49 so as to freely swing.
Reference numeral 51 denotes a bundling portion for integrating the flexible shaft 14 and the duct hose 42 at appropriate positions.
In addition, the height of the guide rail 48 for moving the electric motor 31 (100V and weight of about 7 kg) for driving the flexible shaft 14 is different between the suction motor 43 and the hair tank 44 side.
The reason for this is that the flexible shaft 14 is used as a method for transmitting power from the electric motor 31 to the drive shaft 18 of the hair removal mechanism 11. Since the frictional resistance increases and the durability decreases, it is required that the resistance be as close to a straight line as possible.
Therefore, this problem was solved by changing the height of the guide rail 48 and moving it to one side (the side of the fur coat tank 44 in the figure) with a certain amount of force. That is, changing the height and the height of the coat tank 44 side of the guide rail 48 of the suction motor 43 side, it is lowered fur tank 44 side as 2 cm.
As a result, the electric motor 31 always moves toward the bristle tank 44, so that the deflection of the flexible shaft 14 can be eliminated. Initially, a method of pulling to the fur coat tank 44 side with a weak spring was considered, but by changing the height, the problem could be solved without using extra parts.

The said hair removal mechanism 11 is suspended by the suspension rail 63 installed in the upper part of the trimming stand 61 with the caster 62 which mounts pets.
That is, a slider 65 is movably attached to a suspension rail 63 installed on the upper part of the trimming table 61 via a support column 64. A lifting mechanism 66 for slidably mounting the hair removal mechanism 11 is suspended on the slider 65, and the lifting mechanism 66 incorporates a spring-type winding mechanism to lift the hair removal mechanism 11. Thus, the weight of the hair removal mechanism 11 can be absorbed.
The suspension rail 63 performs trimming by placing the terrier dog on the trimming table 61 and fixing it with a collar from above. Must move forward, behind the butt. In particular, it is necessary to correspond to the right side and the left side.
For this reason, if the suspension rail 63 is U-shaped (as viewed from above) so that it can reach the right and left sides of the terrier dog, or any position on the front and back, it is very convenient to use.

In the pet electric trimming device of the present invention, a pair of gears 12 and 12 'facing the teeth 13 for removing the hair of the pets are prepared as a plurality of attachments 71 corresponding to the length of the hair. The suction pipe 15 is detachably attached at the front surface position of the suction part 16.
The plurality of attachments 71 corresponding to the length of the hair is a distance between the pair of gears 12, 12 ′ and the hair inlet 73 provided in the storage case 72, as shown in FIGS. 7 to 9. It consists of multiple types with different
As an example, a moderation (M) for removing hair with a long hair as shown in FIG. 7, a short (S) for removing hair with a short hair as shown in FIG. 8, and FIG. The attachment 71 can be composed of a very short (VS) for removing hair with extremely short hair.

In addition, the diameter of another gear 12 'that has not been processed is reduced. In the present invention in which the hair is pulled out by the overlap of the two gears 12 and 12 ', it is not possible to pull out the length less than the radius of the gears 12 and 12'. Therefore, short (S) and moderation (M) with a coat length of 10 mm are good, but it is desirable to devise as follows for a belly short (VS) shorter than that.
1) The diameter of the tooth 13 of the gear 12 is reduced to the minimum, and the distance from the suction port 73 is shortened.
2) Further, the shape of the suction port 73 is processed into a circular shape matching the teeth 13 of the gears 12 and 12 ′, and the length of the hair to be removed is ensured to be 5 mm.

As described above, in order to maintain the appearance of an Airedale dog, since the length of the hair varies from body part to body part, it is necessary to bring out the Aireder character by processing it to a desired length. Therefore, as described above, the problem can be solved by using the attachment 71 in which the distance between the suction rod 73 and the pair of gears 12 and 12 'is changed and exchanging depending on the place.
In addition to the above-mentioned three types, for example, a belly short (VS) that leaves hair with a length of about 5 mm and removes more hair, a short that pulls hair to 10 mm (S), a moderation of 20 mm (M), and a short and moderation It is also possible to use five types of attachments 71 of 15 mm (bokeh) that blurs the gap and long (L) that leaves a long coat.

The operation of the pet electric trimming device of the present invention will be described.
a) First, a pet such as an Airdale Terrier is placed on the trimming table 61.
b) Next, a hand switch (not shown) attached to an appropriate position of the hair removal mechanism 11 is turned on, and the electric motor 31 and the suction motor 43 are operated.
c) Then, a hand is inserted into the holder portion 22 of the bracket 21 of the hair removal mechanism 11 and the grip portion 23 of the suction pipe 15 is gripped to perform a hair removal operation at a predetermined position of pet hair.
In the hair removal mechanism 11, pet hair is extracted by an attachment 71 set first, for example, a pair of gears 12, 12 ′ of Moderate M, and the inside of the hair tank 44 through a suction port 73 provided in the storage case 72. The fur is stored.
d) When the application site of the attachment 71 set first is completed, the hair is replaced with another attachment 71, for example, the short S, and the hair removal operation for the next application site is performed. The trimming of the pets is completed by performing a predetermined hair removal operation for each application site for the replacement of the attachment 71.
e) During the trimming operation, the weight of the hair removal mechanism 11 is urged to be pulled up by the spring-type winding mechanism of the lifting mechanism 66, so that the operator does not feel the weight of the hair removal mechanism 11. Trimming work can be performed.
Further, the hair removal mechanism 11 is movably attached to a suspension rail 63 installed on a trimming table 61, and the electric motor 31 is movable to a guide rail 48 suspended on a holding frame 46 and swingable. Since it is attached, there is no resistance to the trimming work.
f) When the trimming operation is completed, the hand switch is turned off and the pets are released from the trimming table 61.
g) Finally, if the container-like filter 45 is taken out from the fur coat tank 44 and discarded so that the internal hair is not scattered, all operations are completed.

Needless to say, the electric trimming device for pets of the present invention can be applied not only to the trimming work of terrier dogs such as the above-mentioned Airedale Terrier but also to various pets that require trimming of the coat. Nor.
