The support rod 181 is provided so that height adjustment is possible, and the width adjustment coupling plate 185 is provided so that the width can be adjusted so that it can be used interchangeably with bathtubs of various thicknesses.

The control unit 190 controls the shampoo supply regulating valve 147 so that any one of water, shampoo mixture, and rinse mixture pressure is discharged to the water pressure desired by the user according to the input signal input through the input unit 113 or the foot switch 114. and the shampoo supply motor 143 , the rinse supply intermittent valve 157 , the rinse supply motor 153 , and the bath water supply pump 160 are controlled.

A process of using the companion animal bath water supply device 100 according to the present invention having such a configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 9 .

When not in use, the companion animal bath water supply device 100 accommodates the water supply pipe 120 and the bath water discharge pipe 170 inside the casing 110 and closes the cover 112 for storage.

When bathing the companion animal D using the companion animal bath water supply device 100 , the user pushes the casing 110 and moves the casing 110 to a desired bathing location using the moving wheel 115 .

As shown in FIG. 3 , when bathing the companion animal D in the bathtub B of the toilet, the user opens the cover 112 and separates the water supply pipe 120 and the bath water discharge pipe 170 . Then, the first female coupling 123 of the water supply pipe 120 is coupled to the first male coupling 117 protruding from the side surface of the casing body 111 in a one-touch manner.

Then, the faucet connection elastic cap 121 of the water supply pipe 120 is coupled to the faucet A of the sink. The faucet connection elastic cap 121 may be coupled to the faucet A of various shapes by its own elasticity.

When the connection of the water supply pipe 120 is completed, the bath water discharge pipe 170 is connected to the bath water outlet 118 . By the coupling of the second female coupling 119 and the second male coupling 171 , the bath water discharge pipe 170 can be easily coupled.

The user may combine the shower head fixing jig 180 to the side of the bathtub (B) for the companion animal to bathe according to convenience. Then, the power supply cable 191 is connected to a power outlet to supply power.

The user selects the type of bath water to be discharged to the shower head 173 by pressing the foot switch 114 while sitting or standing toward the bathtub. When the faucet A is operated, water W1 is supplied through the water supply pipe 120 , and is discharged through the bath water discharge pipe 170 and the shower head 173 via the inner moving pipe 130 .

In this state, the user may adjust the water pressure of the bath water using the input unit 113 .

When the companion animal D is sufficiently wetted with the water W1 discharged through the shower head 173, the user presses the foot switch 114 to select the shampoo mixture. When the shampoo mixture is selected, the shampoo supply shutoff valve 147 is opened and the rinse aid supply shutoff valve 157 is closed as shown in FIG. (W2) is discharged to the shower head (173).

When the shampoo mixture W2 is sprayed on the companion animal D and bubbles are sufficiently generated, the user presses the foot switch 114 once again to select water supply. When water is selected, the shampoo supply shutoff valve 147 and the rinse aid supply shutoff valve 157 are closed together, and water W1 is discharged as shown in FIG. 9(a).

After sufficiently rinsing the companion animal (D) to which the foam is applied with water (W1), the user presses the foot switch 114 three times to select the rinse mixture. When the rinse liquid is selected, the shampoo supply shut-off valve 147 is closed and the rinse supply shut-off valve 157 is opened as shown in FIG. ) is discharged to the shower head 173 .

When the rinse mixture W3 is sufficiently sprayed on the companion animal D, the user selects water by pressing the foot switch 114 once again, rinses the companion animal D with water, and then finishes the bath. Contaminated water (W4) used during bathing is discharged through the outlet (C) of the bath and is not recycled.

When the bathing of the companion animal is completed, the user separates the faucet connection elastic cap 121 coupled to the faucet A, and separates the water supply pipe 120 from the water inlet 116 . And the bath water discharge pipe 170 is separated from the bath water discharge port (118). The separated water supply pipe 120 and the bath water discharge pipe 170 are accommodated inside the casing body 111 and the cover 112 is closed to be stored in a desired place.

Here, in the companion animal bath water supply device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the water supply pipe and the bath water discharge pipe are detachably coupled to the casing, but in some cases, they may be integrally fixedly coupled.

In addition, although the companion animal bath water supply device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is provided with a shampoo supply unit and a conditioner supply unit, only the shampoo supply unit may be provided in some cases.

As described above, the companion animal bath water supply device according to the present invention is coupled to a faucet at various places to receive water, and is separated from the bathtub, so the overall structure is simple and the size can be small.

Accordingly, it can be used not only in pet shops but also at home.

In particular, since it can be combined with a faucet of various shapes, there is an advantage in that it is possible to bathe a companion animal not only in the bathroom but also in various desired places.

In addition, the type of bath water can be changed using the foot switch, so the user can freely use both hands to bathe the pet.

In addition, since the water supply pipe and the bath water discharge pipe can be combined in a one-touch method, it is easy to use and has the advantage of easy storage and storage.

In addition, since the contaminated water is discharged immediately, it is possible to solve the problem caused by recycling the conventional contaminated water.

The embodiment of the companion animal bath water supply apparatus of the present invention described above is merely exemplary, and various modifications and equivalent other embodiments are possible by those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains. will be well known. Therefore, it will be well understood that the present invention is not limited to the form mentioned in the above detailed description. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
