Taking pet drinking water as an example, pet drinking fountains have been widely favored because they can provide clean and hygienic drinking water for pets. In order to facilitate pets to drink water, pet drinking fountains are equipped with drinking components. Traditional drinking components are easy to disturb pets during use. Summary of the invention

[0003] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a pet drinking fountain, a drinking assembly and a water filter tray to address the problem of easily disturbing pets.

[0004] In one aspect, a water filter tray is provided, comprising:

[0007] When the water filter tray of the above embodiment is used, water enters the placement groove of the tray body, and the impurities mixed in the water are filtered through the filter element placed in the placement groove. When the filtered water flows out through the first water leakage hole, the water is buffered by the buffer element arranged at the bottom of the tray body, and finally flows out through the second water leakage hole into the water storage cavity. The water flows into the water storage cavity after being buffered by the buffer element, so that the dripping sound can be reduced or eliminated, thereby avoiding disturbing the pet.

[0016] In the drinking water assembly of the above embodiment, the water in the water storage chamber is input into the drinking water chamber of the drinking water tray through the water inlet hole, so that water can be drunk from the drinking water chamber. As the water level in the drinking water chamber rises until it submerges the fourth water leakage hole, water flows out from the fourth water leakage hole into the placement groove, thereby filtering impurities mixed in the water through the filter element placed in the placement groove. When the filtered water flows out through the first water leakage hole, the water is buffered by the buffer element arranged at the bottom of the tray body, and finally flows out into the water storage chamber through the second water leakage hole, thereby realizing the circulation of water in the water storage chamber, the drinking water chamber and the placement groove, so that the water entering the drinking water chamber remains clean.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present invention, so the present invention is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0038] like Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 6As shown, in one embodiment, a water filter tray 100 is provided, comprising a tray body 110 and a buffer element 120. The tray body 110 is provided with a placement groove 130 for placing a filter element 300, and a first water leakage hole 140 communicating with the placement groove 130; the buffer element 120 is arranged at the bottom of the tray body 110, the buffer element 120 is arranged corresponding to the first water leakage hole 140, the buffer element 120 is used to buffer the water flowing out of the first water leakage hole 140, and the buffer element 120 is provided with a second water leakage hole 121 communicating with the water storage chamber 510.

[0039] When the water filter tray 100 of the above embodiment is used, water enters the placement groove 130 of the tray body 110, and the impurities mixed in the water are filtered through the filter element 300 placed in the placement groove 130. When the filtered water flows out through the first water leakage hole 140, the water is buffered by the buffer element 120 arranged at the bottom of the tray body 110, and finally flows out to the water storage chamber 510 through the second water leakage hole 121. The water flows into the water storage chamber 510 after being buffered by the buffer element 120, so that the dripping sound can be reduced or eliminated, thereby avoiding disturbing the pet.

[0040] It should be noted that the outline of the disc body 110 can be set to a square, circular or other shape. The size of the placement groove 130 can match the size of the filter element 300. For example, the depth of the placement groove 130 matches the thickness of the filter element 300, and the length and width of the placement groove 130 can also match the length and width of the filter element 300, so that the filter element 300 can be stably and reliably installed in the placement groove 130 to prevent the filter element 300 from moving and affecting the filtering effect. The buffer element 120 is set corresponding to the first water leakage hole 140, which means that the water flowing out of the first water leakage hole 140 can flow to the first buffer element 120 accordingly. The disc body 110 and the buffer element 120 can be directly manufactured by the existing one-piece molding method; or the disc body 110 and the buffer element 120 can be manufactured separately, and then the disc body 110 and the buffer element 120 are assembled and assembled.

[0041] like Figures 5 to 7As shown, in one embodiment, the water filter tray 100 further includes a connecting sleeve 160 having a cavity 161. One end of the connecting sleeve 160 is connected to the bottom of the tray body 110, and the other end of the connecting sleeve 160 is provided with a buffer element 120, and the cavity 161 is connected to both the first water leakage hole 140 and the second water leakage hole 121. In this way, the filtered water flows out through the first water leakage hole 140 and enters the cavity 161, then flows to the buffer element 120 for buffering, and finally enters the water storage cavity 510 through the second water leakage hole 121. The connecting sleeve 160 allows the buffer element 120 to extend further into the water storage cavity 510. Even if the water level in the water storage cavity 510 is low and the height difference between the buffer element 120 and the liquid surface is large, the connecting sleeve 160 allows the buffer element 120 to extend further into the water storage cavity 510, thereby reducing or eliminating the influence of the height difference, and can more effectively reduce or eliminate the dripping sound. Of course, the connecting sleeve 160 can be further configured to have a telescopic structure (for example, the connecting sleeve 160 can be configured to be a telescopic bellows, and the bellows can be driven to telescope by telescopic elements such as a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder fixed at the bottom of the tray body 110). The position of the buffer element 120 can be adjusted by telescoping the connecting sleeve 160, and the height difference can be flexibly adjusted according to the water level, thereby effectively reducing or eliminating the dripping sound. Furthermore, a detection element such as a liquid level sensor that can detect the water level can be arranged in the liquid storage cavity, and the telescoping of the connecting sleeve 160 can be more accurately controlled by the detection of the detection element.

[0042] It should be noted that the disk body 110, the connecting sleeve 160 and the buffer element 120 can be directly manufactured by the existing one-piece molding method; or the disk body 110, the connecting sleeve 160 and the buffer element 120 can be manufactured separately and then the disk body 110, the connecting sleeve 160 and the buffer element 120 are assembled and assembled.

[0043] like Figures 4 to 7As shown, in one embodiment, the disc body 110 includes a first bottom plate 111 and a first side plate 112. The first bottom plate 111 and the first side plate 112 are arranged to form a transition chamber 170, and the first bottom plate 111 is provided with a placement groove 130, and the transition chamber 170 is connected with the placement groove 130. In this way, the water storage capacity of the water filter disc 100 is improved by using the transition chamber 170 and the placement groove 130; the water first enters the transition chamber 170 and then flows into the placement groove 130 for filtration, so that large particles of impurities in the water are first precipitated in the transition chamber 170, and then the filter element 300 in the placement groove 130 is used to filter the small particles of impurities in the water, so as to ensure the filtering effect of the filter element 300 and enable long-term use. Among them, the placement groove 130 can be directly opened and formed on the first bottom plate 111 by removing materials, or it can be formed by protruding the first bottom plate 111 downward, as long as it can place the filter element 300 and communicate with the transition chamber 170.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, further, the first side plate 112 is provided with a first placement portion 1121 for placing a drinking water tray. In this way, it is convenient to place the drinking water tray above the water filter tray 100, so that the water flowing out of the drinking water tray can be filtered, and then the filtered water can flow into the water storage chamber 510 again, so as to realize the recycling of water. Among them, the first placement portion 1121 can be a support frame, a support block or a support table that can support the drinking water tray, or it can be a first placement flange set on the outer edge of the first side plate 112, as long as it can support and place the drinking water tray. The first placement portion 1121 can be set as far away from the first bottom plate 111 as possible, so that the bottom of the drinking water tray is spaced from the first bottom plate 111, so that the water flowing out of the drinking water tray first enters the transition chamber 170 and then enters the placement groove 130 for filtration.

[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the first side plate 112 is further provided with a third water leakage hole 1122 communicating with the water storage chamber 510. Thus, since the opening height of the third water leakage hole 1122 is higher than the opening height of the placement groove 130, when the filter element 300 in the placement groove 130 is blocked, the water in the transition chamber 170 overflows and flows into the water storage chamber 510 through the third water leakage hole 1122, thereby preventing the water from overflowing from the edge of the water filter tray 100.

[0046] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, the tray body 110 is provided with a plug hole 150 (the plug hole 150 can be specifically provided on the first bottom plate 111) for connecting the placement groove 130 and the water storage chamber 510, and the water filter tray 100 further includes a plug pipe 180. The plug pipe 180 is provided in the plug hole 150, and the water inlet of the plug pipe 180 is connected with the second water leakage hole 121. In this way, the plug pipe 180 can facilitate the output of water from the water storage chamber 510. Among them, the plug pipe 180 can be connected to the tray body 110 by a connecting rib (not shown). When the first water leakage hole 140 is connected with the plug hole 150 (of course, the first water leakage hole 140 may not be connected with the plug hole 150), after the plug pipe 180 passes through the plug hole 150, the outer wall of the plug pipe 180 can be connected with the inner wall of the first water leakage hole 140 by a connecting rib to achieve the support and fixation of the plug pipe 180.

[0047] The buffer element 120 buffers the water by reducing the kinetic energy of the water droplets or by reducing the potential energy of the water droplets relative to the liquid surface, as long as the dripping sound can be reduced or eliminated.

[0048] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the buffer element 120 is provided with a buffer slope 122 inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and the buffer slope 122 is arranged corresponding to the first water leakage hole 140. In this way, the water flowing out of the first water leakage hole 140 falls on the buffer slope 122 and flows along the buffer slope 122 until it flows out from the second water leakage hole 121 to the water storage chamber 510. In the process of water flowing on the buffer slope 122, compared with the traditional method of directly falling into the water storage chamber 510, the speed of water can be greatly reduced, thereby reducing the kinetic energy of water when falling to the liquid surface, and further reducing or eliminating the dripping sound of water falling into the water storage chamber 510. The buffer slope 122 can be a plane or a curved surface (when the buffer slope 122 is a curved surface, the tangent of the curved surface is inclined relative to the horizontal plane), as long as it can reduce the flow speed of water.

[0049] like Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, the upper side of the buffer slope 122 is arranged corresponding to the outer side of the first water leakage hole 140. In this way, the water flowing out of the first water leakage hole 140 can immediately flow to the buffer slope 122, and flow out of the second water leakage hole 121 after being fully buffered by the buffer slope 122, which prolongs the contact path between the water and the buffer slope 122, has a good buffering effect on the water, can reduce the speed of the water to a greater extent, and can reduce the kinetic energy of the water when it falls to the liquid surface to a greater extent, and has a better effect of reducing or eliminating the dripping sound. Among them, the upper side of the buffer slope 122 refers to the side located above in the vertical direction; the outer side of the first water leakage hole 140 refers to the side wall of the first water leakage hole 140 away from the central axis of the disk body 110; the upper side of the buffer slope 122 is arranged corresponding to the outer side of the first water leakage hole 140, which means that the upper side of the buffer slope 122 and the outer side of the first water leakage hole 140 are aligned in the vertical direction.

[0050] like Figure 7 As shown, further, when the buffer element 120 is connected to the disk body 110 through the connecting sleeve 160, and the upper side of the buffer slope 122 is arranged corresponding to the outer side of the first leakage hole 140, the outer side of the cavity 161 is arranged corresponding to the outer side of the first leakage hole 140. Figure 7 As shown in the E track, the water flowing out of the first water leakage hole 140 flows along the inner wall of the cavity 161 to the buffer slope 122, and then flows along the buffer slope 122 to flow out of the second water leakage hole 121. The friction between the water and the inner wall of the cavity 161 can further reduce the speed of the water, further reduce the kinetic energy of the water when it falls to the liquid surface, and reduce or eliminate the dripping sound better. Among them, the outside of the cavity 161 refers to the side wall of the cavity 161 away from the central axis of the disk body 110; the outside of the cavity 161 corresponds to the outside of the first water leakage hole 140, which means that the outside of the cavity 161 is aligned with the outside of the first water leakage hole 140 in the vertical direction.

[0051] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the upper side of the buffer slope 122 is arranged relative to the outer side of the first water leakage hole 140 and away from the central axis of the disk body 110. In this way, the water flowing out of the first water leakage hole 140 can accurately and completely fall onto the buffer slope 122, and the water flows out of the second water leakage hole 121 after the buffering effect of the buffer slope 122, and finally drips onto the liquid surface in the water storage chamber 510; the buffering effect of the buffer slope 122 can reduce or eliminate the dripping sound. Among them, the upper side of the buffer slope 122 is arranged relative to the central axis of the disk body 110 and away from the outer side of the first water leakage hole 140, which means that in the horizontal direction, the upper side of the buffer slope 122 is staggered with the outer side of the first water leakage hole 140, and the distance between the upper side of the buffer slope 122 and the central axis of the disk body 110 is farther.

[0052] like Figure 6 As shown, further, when the buffer element 120 is connected to the disk body 110 through the connecting sleeve 160, and the upper side of the buffer slope 122 is arranged away from the central axis of the disk body 110 relative to the outer side of the first water leakage hole 140, the outer side of the cavity 161 is arranged away from the central axis of the disk body 110 relative to the outer side of the first water leakage hole 140. Figure 6 As shown in the D trajectory, all the water flowing out of the first water leakage hole 140 falls onto the buffer slope 122, and then flows along the buffer slope 122 to flow out of the second water leakage hole 121. The outer side of the cavity is arranged away from the central axis of the disk body 110 relative to the outer side of the first water leakage hole 140, which means that in the horizontal direction, the outer side of the cavity is staggered with the outer side of the first water leakage hole 140, and the distance between the outer side of the cavity and the central axis of the disk body 110 is farther.

[0053] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a drinking water assembly is further provided, comprising a drinking water tray 200 and a water filter tray 100 of any of the above embodiments. The drinking water tray 200 is disposed above the water filter tray 100, and the drinking water tray 200 is provided with a drinking water cavity 210, a water inlet hole 220 connecting the water storage cavity 510 and the drinking water cavity 210, and a fourth water leakage hole 230 connecting the drinking water cavity 210 and the placement groove 130, and the opening height of the fourth water leakage hole 230 is higher than the minimum drinking water height.

[0054] In the drinking water assembly of the above embodiment, the water in the water storage chamber 510 is input into the drinking water chamber 210 of the drinking water tray 200 through the water inlet hole 220, so that water can be drunk from the drinking water chamber 210. As the water level in the drinking water chamber 210 rises until it submerges the fourth water leakage hole 230, the water flows out from the fourth water leakage hole 230 into the placement groove 130, thereby filtering the impurities mixed in the water through the filter element 300 placed in the placement groove 130. When the filtered water flows out through the first water leakage hole 140, the water is buffered by the buffer element 120 arranged at the bottom of the tray body 110, and finally flows out into the water storage chamber 510 through the second water leakage hole 121, thereby realizing the circulation of water in the water storage chamber 510, the drinking water chamber 210 and the placement groove 130, so that the water entering the drinking water chamber 210 remains clean. When water flows from the water filter tray 100 into the water storage chamber 510 , the water is buffered by the buffer element 120 , thereby reducing or eliminating the dripping sound, thereby avoiding disturbing the pet.

[0055] It should be noted that, in order to facilitate the cooperation between the drinking water tray 200 and the water filter tray 100, the contour shapes of the drinking water tray 200 and the water filter tray 100 can be set to be similar, for example, both are square or both are round, and it is only necessary to place the drinking water tray 200 above the water filter tray 100 so that the water flowing out of the fourth water leakage hole 230 can flow into the placement groove 130 for filtration. Of course, in other embodiments, the water flowing out of the fourth water leakage hole 230 can also first enter the transition cavity 170 and then flow into the placement groove 130 for filtration. In order to facilitate the pet to drink water from the drinking water cavity 210, the water level in the drinking water cavity 210 must have a certain height, and the minimum drinking water height refers to the height of the minimum water level that can meet the pet's drinking water; of course, the minimum water level height can be flexibly adjusted according to actual use conditions, and accordingly, the opening height of the fourth water leakage hole 230 can also be flexibly adjusted according to actual use conditions, and it is only necessary to meet the water in the drinking water cavity 210 to meet the drinking water demand and will not overflow.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the drinking water tray 200 includes a second bottom plate 240 and a second side plate 250. The second bottom plate 240 and the second side plate 250 are arranged to form a drinking water chamber 210. The second bottom plate 240 is provided with a water retaining portion 260 protruding from the second bottom plate 240, and the water retaining portion 260 is provided with a water inlet hole 220. In this way, after water enters the drinking water chamber 210 from the water inlet hole 220, the water retaining portion 260 can prevent the water from flowing back at the water inlet hole 220, so that the water can be retained in the drinking water chamber 210 for drinking. The second side plate 250 is provided with a fourth water leakage hole 230, and the opening height of the fourth water leakage hole 230 is lower than the water retaining height of the water retaining portion 260. In this way, the water in the drinking water chamber 210 can only flow out to the placement groove 130 through the fourth water leakage hole 230, so that the water will not overflow the water retaining portion 260, and the water will not flow back at the water inlet hole 220. The water retaining portion 260 may be a flange, a bump or other element capable of blocking water protruding from the second bottom plate 240. The water inlet 220 may be provided at the top of the water retaining portion 260, and the fourth water leakage hole 230 may be provided at a height lower than the top of the water retaining portion 260.

[0057] like Figure 3As shown, further, the second side plate 250 is provided with a second placement portion 251 for placing on the water filter tray 100. In this way, it is convenient to place the drinking water tray 200 above the water filter tray 100, so that the water flowing out of the fourth water leakage hole 230 enters the water filter tank for filtration, and then the filtered water flows into the water storage chamber 510 again, so as to realize the recycling of water. Among them, the second placement portion 251 can be a support frame, a support block or a support platform that can support the drinking water tray 200, or it can be a second placement flange set on the outer edge of the second side plate 250, as long as it can satisfy the requirement of enabling the drinking water tray 200 to be placed on the water filter tray 100. The second placement portion 251 and the first placement portion 1121 can cooperate with each other by overlapping (overlapping cooperation between the first placement flange and the second placement flange), snapping, etc., as long as the assembly of the water tray 200 and the water filter tray 100 can be achieved, so that the water tray 200 is placed above the water filter tray 100, and the water flowing out of the fourth leakage hole 230 can enter the water filter trough for filtration.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a water inlet pipe 270 is provided at the bottom of the water tray 200, the water inlet of the water inlet pipe 270 is communicated with the water storage chamber 510, and the water outlet of the water inlet pipe 270 is communicated with the water inlet hole 220. In this way, water can be supplied from the water storage chamber 510 to the water inlet hole 220 through the water inlet pipe 270, and then the water enters the water drinking chamber 210 to realize water supply to the water drinking chamber 210. When the drinking water tray 200 and the water filter tray 100 are matched, the lower end of the water inlet pipe 270 can also be passed through the plug-in pipe 180 and then extended into the water storage chamber 510, so that water can directly enter the drinking water chamber 210 through the water inlet pipe 270 and the water inlet hole 220. Of course, the water in the water storage chamber 510 can also first pass through the plug-in pipe 180 and then enter the water inlet pipe 270, and finally flow into the drinking water chamber 210; at the same time, the plug-in cooperation between the plug-in pipe 180 and the water inlet pipe 270 can also position and guide the assembly of the drinking water tray 200 and the water filter tray 100 to ensure the assembly accuracy.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the drinking water assembly further includes a nozzle 400, which is disposed above the drinking water tray 200, and the water inlet of the nozzle 400 is connected to the water inlet hole 220. In this way, the water flowing out of the water inlet hole 220 enters the nozzle 400, and enters the drinking water cavity 210 through the spraying or injection of the nozzle 400. After the water is sprayed or injected by the nozzle 400, it can form a corresponding parabola and fall into the drinking water cavity 210, which can attract the pet to drink water. Among them, the nozzle 400 can be fixed on the drinking water tray 200 in a detachable manner such as screw connection, or can be fixed on the drinking water tray 200 in an irremovable manner such as welding. The nozzle 400 can use an existing element capable of spraying water.

[0060] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a pet drinking fountain 10 is also provided, comprising a water storage element 500, a water pump 600 and a drinking assembly of any of the above embodiments. The water storage element 500 is provided with a water storage chamber 510 having an opening; the water filter plate 100 is covered on the opening so that the second water leakage hole 121 is connected to the water storage chamber 510; the water pump 600 is arranged in the water storage chamber 510, and the water outlet of the water pump 600 is connected to the water inlet 220; and the filter element 300 is arranged in the placement groove 130.

[0061] When the pet drinking fountain 10 of the above embodiment is used, the water in the water storage chamber 510 is input into the drinking chamber 210 of the drinking tray 200 through the water pump 600 through the water inlet hole 220, so that the pet can drink water from the drinking chamber 210. As the water level in the drinking chamber 210 rises until it submerges the fourth water leakage hole 230, the water flows out from the fourth water leakage hole 230 into the placement groove 130, thereby filtering impurities such as hair and food particles mixed in the water through the filter element 300 placed in the placement groove 130. When the filtered water flows out through the first water leakage hole 140, the water is buffered by the buffer element 120 arranged at the bottom of the tray body 110, and finally flows out into the water storage chamber 510 through the second water leakage hole 121, thereby realizing the circulation of water in the water storage chamber 510, the drinking chamber 210 and the placement groove 130, so that the water entering the drinking chamber 210 remains clean. When water flows from the water filter tray 100 into the water storage chamber 510 , the water is buffered by the buffer element 120 , thereby reducing or eliminating the dripping sound, thereby avoiding disturbing the pet.

[0062] It should be noted that the water storage element 500 can be a water storage barrel or other element capable of storing water. The water pump 600 can be fixed on the bottom wall of the water storage chamber 510 by means of snap connection, screw connection or riveting, and the water pump 600 can be a centrifugal pump, a rotor pump or other pump capable of extracting water. The assembly of the water filter disc 100 and the water storage element 500 can be achieved by existing overlapping, snap connection and other methods. The filter element 300 is provided with a first through hole (not marked) that matches the outer diameter of the plug-in tube 180. In this way, the filter element 300 can be sleeved on the outer wall of the plug-in tube 180, so that the filter element 300 can be stably and reliably placed in the placement groove 130 to ensure the filtering effect.

[0063] like Figure 2As shown in the A track, in one embodiment, the water pump 600 extracts the water in the water storage chamber 510, enters the water inlet pipe 270 through the water outlet of the water pump 600, and finally enters the nozzle 400. The nozzle 400 is used to spray or inject the water into the drinking water chamber 210, and the pet can drink water at the nozzle 400 or in the drinking water chamber 210. When the water level in the drinking water chamber 210 overflows the fourth water leakage hole 230, the water flows from the fourth water leakage hole 230 into the transition chamber 170, and then flows into the placement groove 130. The impurities mixed in the water are filtered by the filter element 300 provided in the placement groove 130. The filtered water enters the cavity 161 of the connecting sleeve 160 after passing through the first water leakage hole 140, and falls onto the buffer slope 122 of the buffer element 120, and the buffer slope 122 is used to buffer the water. The water flowing out from the buffer slope 122 finally enters the water storage chamber 510 after passing through the second water leakage hole 121 .
