The carding member 12 has a flat plate shape and is made of a metal material. The carding member 12 includes a plurality of comb teeth 22 and a base 23.

The base 23 is combined with the front end member 21 of the handle portion 11, and the bonding manner may be mechanical pressing or secondary injection molding, and only the fastening member 12 and the handle portion 11 may be tightly coupled. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper half of the base 23 is mounted in the front end member 21, the lower half of the base 23 is located outside the front end member 21, and the surface near the handle portion 11 is the base combing surface. 32. The height of the base carding surface 32 is not less than 5 mm. The plane opposite the pedestal combing surface 32 is the pedestal carding back 33.

Figure 6 is a front elevational view of the carding member in the embodiment of the present invention; Figure 7 (A) is a BB cross-sectional view of Figure 6, and Figure 7 (B) is a partial enlarged view of E in Figure 7 (A), showing the surface Electroplated layer; Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA of Fig. 6.

As shown in FIGS. 6-8, the base 23 has a concave shape and has a concave surface including two inner sides and an inner bottom surface perpendicular to the two inner sides, and the base 23 is provided with an inner side surface. Edge guard 34 and edge guard 35. Edge guards 34 and edge guards 35 are provided at the left and right ends of all of the comb teeth 22 for protecting the comb teeth 22.

The comb teeth 22 are formed on the inner bottom surface of the base 23, are regularly fixedly arranged along the longitudinal direction of the inner bottom surface of the base 23, and extend outwardly in a direction perpendicular to the inner bottom surface. As shown in Fig. 5, the angle B between the direction in which the comb teeth 22 extend downward from the base and the axis of the handle 20 is preferably between 95 and 135 degrees. At the same time, all of the comb teeth 22 are centered on the axis of the handle 20 and are substantially symmetrically arranged in the left and right direction (Fig. 4).

As shown in FIGS. 6-8, the peripheral surface of each of the comb teeth 22 includes a comb tip end face 24, a comb tooth side face 25, a comb tooth side face 26, a comb tooth combing back face 27, and a comb tooth combing face 28.

In the present embodiment, the carding member 12 is in the shape of a flat plate, the comb-toothed surface 28 and the comb-toothed back surface 27 are substantially parallel, and the surface adjacent the handle portion 11 is a comb-toothed surface 28.

A tooth root surface 29 is formed between the comb tooth side surface 25 and the comb tooth side surface 26 of the adjacent two comb teeth 22 and the inner bottom surface of the base 23, and the root surface 29 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the comb teeth 22. The left and right widths of the root surface 29, that is, the distance between the roots of the adjacent comb teeth 22, that is, the d, d values in Fig. 7 are preferably 0.15 to 0.40 mm. In this embodiment, all of the root faces 29 are on the same plane.

Each of the root surface 29, the two inner sides, and the peripheral surface of each of the comb teeth are composed of a rough layer formed by machining marks during machining and an electroplated layer formed on the rough layer.

In the present embodiment, the rough layer (not shown) is formed by the processing marks of the disc milling cutter on the surface of the part, and is integrally formed with the comb combing surface 28 and the base combing surface 32 to cover the comb combing. Face 28 and the outer surface of pedestal combing surface 32.

As shown in Fig. 7, the plating layer 36 is formed on a rough layer (not shown) which is uneven. The electroplated layer 36 moves in the direction indicated by the arrow F in Fig. 1 during the carding process, comes into contact with the pet hair and carries away the loose hair. The electroplated layer 36 should completely cover the comb-toothed surface 28 while covering at least the portion of the pedestal combing surface 32 adjacent the comb-toothed surface 28. The surface roughness of the portion of the pedestal combing surface 32 adjacent the comb-toothed surface 28 is from 0.63 to 1.25 um.

Since the carding member 12 is in the shape of a flat plate, the root plane of the root surface 29 is perpendicular to the comb combing surface 28 (see Fig. 8), and the vertical distance from the center point of the comb tip end surface 24 to the root surface 29, i.e., the comb teeth 22 has a length of 3 to 6 mm, preferably 3.1 to 3.3 mm. As shown in Figs. 5, 7, and 8, since there is no blade between adjacent comb teeth, the length of the comb teeth seen from the front or the rear of the carding member is the same. Instead of one side long and short. The center-to-center spacing of the tip end faces 24 of the adjacent comb teeth 22 is 0.5 to 1.2 mm.

The carding member 12 is used to groom the pet's hair and carry away the loose hair. The comb-toothed surface 28 and the pedestal combing surface 32 together form the carding surface of the carding member 12. The comb-toothed back side 27 and the base carded back side 33 are collectively referred to as a carded back side. When the operator inserts the comb teeth 22 into the pet bristles and grips the handle 20 to drag backwards (see Figure 5), the comb combing surface 28 and the pedestal combing surface 32 first contact the pet hair and carry away the loose hair. There is no combing function on the back of the carding, and only the trailing combing surface moves during the carding process.

The method of manufacturing the carding member 12 of the present embodiment includes the following steps:

Step one, horizontally placing the metal plate of appropriate thickness, and obtaining the blank under the action of the punching machine (the same as stamping and blanking) Punch the necessary positioning holes);

Step 2: Select the appropriate size of the disc milling cutter to respectively mill the upper and lower surfaces of the blank, and mill the upper and lower surfaces by 0.15 mm to obtain the milled blank;

In the third step, a plurality of milling blanks are placed side by side, and then a plurality of milling cutters arranged side by side and perpendicular to the milling blank are vertically arranged downward in the vicinity of the milling blank, and then the milling cutter is milled and milled until the The concave base of the milling blank and the comb teeth are synchronously milled, and the root surface is ensured to be horizontal, and then the tip end of the comb tooth is polished until the tip end of the comb tooth has a circular arc of a certain arc to obtain a processed workpiece;

Step 4: immersing the processed workpiece in an acidic liquid, removing the surface oil and removing burrs during the processing by pickling, and obtaining the pickled workpiece;

In step five, the surface of the pickled workpiece is electroplated to obtain a carding member.

The rough layer is formed by the plated cutters which are processed by electroplating. The cutter specifications are selected to ensure that the surface roughness of the comb-toothed surface and at least part of the base carding surface after electroplating is 0.63 to 1.25 um.

After repeated tests, it is found that the surface roughness of the comb-toothed surface and at least part of the pedestal combed surface after electroplating is 0.63 to 1.25 um, and the carding member can effectively remove the loose hair without pulling off the good hair. After milling and electroplating, the surface of the workpiece is no longer roughened, so the machining process is relatively simple, there is no blade between adjacent comb teeth, and the surface is not easy to rust during long-term combing. Both the comb flanks 25 and 26 (Fig. 7) and the root surface 29 also have grind and/or milled tool marks which also retain a certain roughness after electroplating. The rough layer in this embodiment is composed of a tool mark during milling, and the rough layer may also be formed by a tool mark when grinding or other common cutting process.

Action description

While combing the pet's hair, the operator grips the handle 20, placing the pet carder 10 on the surface of the hairy layer of the hairy pet, and the comb 22 entering below the surface of the batt. Then, the handle 20 is dragged and moved along the carding direction as indicated by the arrow F in Fig. 1, so that the comb-toothed surface 28 is in contact with the portion of the loose hair located inside the batt, and the pedestal combing surface 32 and the loose hair are located on the surface of the batt. The partial contact, during the dragging of the pet card 10, the rough comb-toothed surface 28 and the pedestal combing surface 32 exert a certain amount of friction on the loose hair that is in contact therewith. The gap between the adjacent comb faces 25 and 26 (Fig. 7) and the root face 29 is filled with hair which also exerts a certain amount of friction against the loose hair that comes into contact therewith. For most of the loose hair that has emerged from the batt, because their bodies have detached from the batt, the friction from the pet card 10 can be greater than the friction applied by the surrounding bristles to the strays, so these loose hairs Can be taken away by the pet carder 10. For good hair that is tightly bonded to the skin of the pet, since the comb 22 of the pet carder 10 does not exceed 6 mm, preferably 3.1 to 3.3 mm, which is much smaller than the length of the hair, the comb teeth can only rub the tip of the hair. In addition, the hairy body is surrounded by the surrounding hair, and is subjected to the frictional force of the surrounding hair, and the hair itself is strongly bonded to the skin. Therefore, the pet card 10 applies the combing friction to the hairy tip. Force will not take good hair away. At the same time, since there is no blade between adjacent comb teeth of the pet carder 10, the hair is not cut during the carding process. Since the surface is plated, there is no blade between adjacent comb teeth, so the design object of the present invention can be achieved, that is, the pet comb with good depilation effect can be obtained by a relatively simple mechanical processing step, and the hair is not cut off. And long-term combing is not easy to rust.

The role and effect of the embodiment

According to the carding member and the pet carder according to the embodiment, since the friction layer is used as the surface of the base combing surface and the comb combing surface, the base combing surface and the comb combing surface have a roughness of 0.63 to 1.25 um, and the comb is combed. The teeth are short and densely arranged, so when the combing member is used to comb the pet's hair, the combing surface, the comb side, and the root surface are in contact with the pet's hair, and the combing member imparts a greater frictional force than the surrounding The good hair imparts the friction of the loose hair, so it can take away the loose hair. At the same time, because there is no blade between the comb teeth, the frictional force of the carding member to apply the loose hair is less than the sum of the bonding force between the hair and the pet skin and the friction between the adjacent hairs, so the carding member will not be cut or brought Go well.

The above embodiments are preferred examples of the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
