The water tank 100 has a water storage cavity 101 inside. The primary filter 500 is arranged on the upper portion of the water tank 100 and adjacent to the upper opening of the water tank 100. The water tray 400 is arranged on the upper opening of the water tank 100 and above the primary filter 500. The lower portion of the filter device 300 is arranged on the primary filter 500, and the upper portion of the filter device 300 passes through the water tray 400. The water tray 400 has a water drinking portion 401 and a water return hole 402. The water outlet 305 on the top of the filter device 300 is higher than the water drinking portion 401. The liquid flowing out of the water outlet 305 can flow into the water drinking portion 401 from top to bottom. The water drinking portion 401 has a certain liquid storage capacity. When the liquid level in the water drinking portion 401 is higher than the water return hole 402, the excess liquid can flow into the water storage cavity 101 through the water return hole 402 and the primary filter 500. The pump 200 is arranged in the water storage cavity 101, and the pump outlet 202 is communicated with the filter device 300. When the pump 200 works, the liquid in the water storage cavity 101 is pumped to the filter device 300. The filtered liquid flows into the water drinking portion 401 from the water outlet 305 for the pet to drink. When the liquid level in the water drinking portion 401 is higher than the water return hole 402, the excess liquid flows back to the water storage cavity 101 through the water return hole 402, forming a liquid circulation, so as to ensure that the liquid in the water drinking portion 401 is filtered and provide healthy and clean drinking water for the pet.

[0106] Please refer to Figure 4 The water tank 100 can comprise a water tank shell 103, a water tank inner shell 102 and an electrical device 600. The water tank inner shell 102 is partially accommodated in the water tank shell 103. The bottom of the water tank inner shell 102 and the bottom of the water tank shell 103 form a mounting space. The electrical device 600 is arranged in the mounting space. The electrical device comprises but is not limited to a power board, a key board and a wire. The power board is electrically connected with the key board through the wire. The key board is connected with the operation key arranged on the water tank shell 103. The power board is powered through the external power line. Specifically, the water tank inner shell 102 comprises an inner shell body 108 and a support ring 104. The support ring 104 is connected with the upper opening of the inner shell body 108 and coaxially arranged with the upper opening of the inner shell body 108. The support ring 104 and the inner shell body 108 form a mounting table 105. The water tank inner shell 102 is supported at the upper opening of the water tank shell 103 through the lower edge of the mounting table 105. The inner shell body 108 is accommodated in the water tank shell 103. The support ring 104 is higher than the upper opening of the water tank shell 103.

[0107] Please refer to Figure 1The water bowl 400 is arranged on the upper end of the support ring 104 of the water tank inner shell 102. The water bowl 400 can be made of plastic or stainless steel, and has the characteristics of being resistant to falling and biting, and not easy to deform. At least part of the water bowl 400 constitutes a water drinking part 401. Specifically, the water bowl 400 has a concave water holding part and a backflow hole 402 arranged beside the water holding part. The water holding part constitutes the water drinking part 401, and the backflow hole 402 is connected to the water storage cavity 101. Liquid exceeding the highest liquid level of the water drinking part 401 can flow back to the water storage cavity 101 through the backflow hole 402. Optionally, the backflow hole 402 can be a strip-shaped opening partially surrounding the water holding part, or one or more holes surrounding the water holding part. The highest liquid level of the water drinking part 401 is determined by the backflow hole 402 arranged beside the water drinking part 401. Specifically, the highest liquid level of the water drinking part 401 is flush with the point closest to the water drinking part 401 above the backflow hole 402. Once the liquid level in the water drinking part 401 exceeds this point, the liquid will flow out of the backflow hole 402. Optionally, in order to ensure the stability of the water in the water drinking part 401, so that the pet can drink the drinking water in the water drinking part 401 smoothly, the depth of the water drinking part 401 is designed to be not less than 20 mm, wherein the depth refers to the vertical distance between the backflow hole 402 and the bottom surface of the water drinking part 401.

[0108] Further, the water bowl 400 is also provided with a mounting hole 403, and the filter device 300 can pass through the mounting hole 403, so as to guide the filtered liquid from the water outlet 305 at the top of the filter device 300 to the water drinking part 401. Specifically, the height of the mounting hole 403 from the bottom surface of the water drinking part 401 is greater than the height of the backflow hole 402 from the bottom surface of the water drinking part 401, i.e. the mounting hole 403 is arranged to be higher than the backflow hole 402. In this way, the excess liquid in the water drinking part 401 flows out of the backflow hole 402 and does not flow out of the mounting hole 403, avoiding the liquid in the water drinking part 401 flowing into the water storage cavity 101 without being filtered by the primary filter 500.

[0109] The primary filter 500 is arranged at the upper end opening of the inner shell 108 of the water tank inner shell 102, and the edge of the primary filter 500 is in contact with the upper edge of the mounting table 105. Please refer to Figure 5The primary filter 500 includes a filtering portion 503 below the water drinking portion 401, for filtering the liquid flowing back from the water drinking portion 401 to the water storage cavity 101. The filtering portion 503 includes a backflow opening 505, and a second filtering structure is arranged at the backflow opening 505. The second filtering structure can be a filter screen. Although the liquid delivered to the water drinking portion is filtered, hair, food residues and other impurities can be brought in during the pet drinking process. Therefore, the primary filter is arranged to filter the liquid before it is delivered back to the water storage cavity, so as to intercept the hair and large-particle impurities in the liquid through the second filtering structure, to ensure that the liquid in the water storage cavity is free of large-particle impurities, and to avoid the clogging of the later-stage filter. Optionally, the filtering portion 503 further includes a buffer area 504 and a flow guide groove 506 surrounding the buffer area 504, and the flow guide groove 506 is in fluid communication with the backflow opening 505. The buffer area 504 is arranged to protrude towards the water drinking portion 401, and the liquid flowing out of the water outlet hole 402 is collected in the flow guide groove 506 through the buffer area 504, and then flows into the water storage cavity 101 through the backflow opening 505. This design reduces the flow rate of the liquid through the buffer area 504. Since the filtering portion 503 has a higher interception effect on impurities at a low flow rate, the filtering effect can be improved, and the sound of flowing water is also reduced when the liquid enters the water storage cavity 101 through the backflow opening 505. In addition, the buffer area enables the liquid to be collected in the flow guide groove and then enter the water storage cavity through the backflow opening, so as to avoid the accumulation of liquid on the primary filter.

[0110] Further, the primary filter 500 further includes a receiving portion 507 arranged side by side with the filtering portion 503, and the receiving portion 507 is below the filter device 300, for supporting the filter device 300. The receiving portion 507 includes a mounting groove 501 and a through hole 502 arranged in the mounting groove 501, and the lower portion of the filter device 300 is accommodated in the mounting groove 501. The pump outlet 202 of the pump 200 is in communication with the inlet of the water outlet pipe 700, and the water inlet 319 of the filter device 300 is in communication with the water outlet pipe 700 at the through hole 502. In this way, the liquid pumped from the pump inlet 201 to the pump outlet 202 can enter the filter device 300 through the water outlet pipe 700 to complete the filtering.

[0111] The pump 200 is arranged at the bottom of the water tank 100, and the pump 200 is provided with a water shortage probe 203. The water shortage probe 203 is located at a position of the pump 200 away from the bottom of the water tank 100, and the pump 200 stops working when the water shortage probe 203 is higher than the liquid level in the water storage cavity 101. In the related art, the water shortage probe is usually designed to be close to the bottom surface of the pump to pump as much liquid as possible. However, the inventors have found that in the process of pumping liquid from bottom to top by the pump, although the design of the water shortage probe close to the bottom surface of the pump can make the pump pump more liquid, the liquid pumped from the pump inlet to the pump outlet will flow out of the pump outlet due to insufficient water pressure, and the pet water dispenser will not have water although the pump is working. Based on this, the structure of the pump is improved and designed in this embodiment to ensure that the liquid pumped by the pump enters the filter device and does not directly flow out of the pump outlet.

[0112] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the pump 200 comprises a pump shell 204, an impeller 205, an impeller cover 206 and a water shortage probe 203: the pump inlet 201 and the pump outlet 202 are arranged on the pump shell 204, and the bottom surface of the pump shell 204 is in contact with the bottom surface of the water tank 100; the impeller 205 comprises an impeller water inlet and an impeller water outlet, the impeller water inlet is communicated with the pump inlet 201, and the impeller water outlet is communicated with the pump outlet 202; the impeller cover 206 is located between the pump inlet 201 and the impeller water inlet, and comprises an impeller cover water inlet 209 and an impeller cover water outlet 210, the impeller cover water outlet 210 is communicated with the impeller water inlet, and the distance from the impeller cover water inlet 209 to the bottom surface of the pump shell 204 is less than the distance from the impeller cover water outlet 210 to the bottom surface of the pump shell 204; the water shortage probe 203 is connected to the pump shell 204, and the distance from the water shortage probe 203 to the bottom surface of the pump shell 204 is greater than the distance from the upper end of the impeller cover water inlet 209 to the bottom surface of the pump shell 204, wherein the upper end of the impeller cover water inlet 209 refers to the end farthest from the bottom surface of the pump shell 204, that is, the height of the water shortage probe 203 relative to the bottom surface of the pump shell 204 is greater than the height of the impeller cover water inlet 209 relative to the bottom surface of the pump shell 204. In this embodiment, the impeller cover is arranged between the pump inlet and the impeller water inlet to reduce the height of the impeller water inlet, so that when the liquid level does not completely submerge the impeller water inlet but submerges the impeller cover water inlet, the pump can still successfully pump the liquid to the filter device, avoiding too much liquid remaining in the water storage cavity. Further, by setting the distances of the water shortage probe and the impeller cover water inlet relative to the bottom surface of the water tank, the liquid in the water storage cavity can be pumped to the filter device, and when the liquid in the water storage cavity is reduced to be unable to be successfully pumped to the filter device, the water shortage probe triggers a detection signal to stop the pump from working, avoiding invalid working of the pump.

[0113] In implementation, the impeller cover inlet 209 of the impeller cover 206 faces the bottom surface of the pump shell 204. In this way, the highest point and the lowest point of the impeller cover are consistent, the impeller cover inlet is consistent with the liquid level, and the impeller cover inlet can be fully immersed in the liquid to avoid the impeller cover inlet from sucking in air to reduce the pumping effect.

[0114] Further, the distance from the water shortage probe 203 to the bottom surface of the pump shell 204 is greater than the distance from the upper end of the impeller cover outlet 210 to the bottom surface of the pump shell 204, where the upper end of the impeller cover outlet 210 refers to the end of the impeller cover outlet 210 that is farthest from the bottom surface of the pump shell 204, i.e., the height of the water shortage probe 203 relative to the bottom surface of the pump shell 204 is greater than the height of the impeller cover outlet 210 relative to the bottom surface of the pump shell 204. In this way, the impeller cover inlet and outlet pressures are consistent, which is conducive to pumping the liquid in the storage cavity to the filter device.

[0115] In implementation, the bottom surface of the water tank 100 is provided with a mounting groove 501, and the pump 200 is accommodated in the mounting groove 501. The pump inlet 201 is arranged on one side of the pump shell 204, the water shortage probe 203 is arranged on the other side of the pump shell 204 opposite the pump inlet 201, the pump outlet 202 is arranged at the top of the pump shell 204, and the bottom surface of the pump shell 204 is accommodated in the mounting groove 501. The provision of the mounting groove 501 facilitates the installation and positioning of the pump 200 at the bottom of the water tank 100. Arranging the water shortage probe 203 on the side of the pump shell 204 opposite the pump inlet 201 can avoid the influence of liquid level fluctuations at the pump inlet 201 on detection, making the detection result of the water shortage probe 203 more accurate.

[0116] Further, the pump inlet 201 is provided with a first filter structure 211, where the first filter structure 211 can be a grid-shaped structure arranged at the pump inlet 201. In implementation, a grid-shaped structure can be arranged on the side of the pump shell 204 opposite the impeller inlet, so that the pump inlet 201 is combined with the first filter structure 211. The first filter structure 211 is used to block larger impurities such as hair and large particles in the liquid from entering the pump 200, further avoiding the flow of these impurities into the raw water space 303 to weaken the filtering effect of the filter element 302.

[0117] Figure 12 The flow path of the liquid in the pump 200 is shown. Please refer to Figure 12When the liquid level in the water storage cavity 101 is not lower than the water shortage probe 203, the impeller 205 rotates to generate negative pressure inside the pump shell 204, and the liquid in the water storage cavity 101 reaches the vicinity of the impeller cover 206 via the first filter structure 211 of the pump inlet 201, and then enters the inside of the impeller cover 206 via the impeller cover water inlet 209, and the liquid in the impeller cover 206 enters the impeller 205 via the impeller cover water outlet 210 and the impeller water inlet, and the liquid in the impeller 205 is discharged from the pump outlet 202 via the impeller water outlet. When the liquid level in the water storage cavity 101 is lower than the water shortage probe 203, the water shortage probe 203 generates a water shortage signal, and the pump 200 stops working in response to the water shortage signal, and can also perform water shortage reminding, which includes but is not limited to displaying sound and light signals, such as voice reminding or light reminding, to remind the user to supplement water to the water storage cavity 101, and the pump 200 continues to work when the water shortage probe 203 detects that the water storage cavity 101 is not short of water.

[0118] In this embodiment, the pump 200 can be a wired water pump or a wireless water pump. Compared with the wired water pump, the wireless water pump is smaller in size and lower in operation noise, and thus is more suitable than the wired water pump in the case of high silence requirement or limited installation space.

[0119] Further, the pet water dispenser can further include a UV lamp which is not shown in the figure. The UV lamp is installed in the water storage cavity 101, for example, can be arranged on the pump 200 or the water outlet pipe 700, and the UV lamp can be powered and worked from the inside of the pump 200. The UV lamp irradiates the water outlet pipe 700, and can sterilize the liquid passing through the pipe, so as to ensure that the liquid flowing into the filter device 300 is sterilized by the UV lamp. The sterilization of the liquid by the UV lamp can make the liquid store for a longer time and not easy to breed bacteria.

[0120] In the initial stage of working of the pump 200 of the pet water dispenser, the filter device 300 is full of gas, and the pump 200 pumps the liquid in the water storage cavity 101 to the filter device 300. After the gas in the clean water space 304 is completely discharged, the clean water outlet 305 can normally discharge water. If the liquid in the filter device 300 cannot be smoothly discharged, the clean water outlet 305 will not discharge water or the water flow will be small when the water dispenser is started. In this embodiment, the filter device 300 is designed to discharge gas, so that the gas can be quickly discharged when the machine is started, and the water discharge is smooth. For details, see Figure 3 and Figure 6The filter device 300 comprises a housing 301 and a filter core 302 located in the housing 301. The housing 301 is provided with a raw water space 303 and a purified water space 304. The filter core 302 is located between the raw water space 303 and the purified water space 304. The housing 301 is provided with a first air outlet 308 and a purified water outlet 305. The first air outlet 308 is connected to the raw water space 303 and the purified water space 304. The first air outlet 308 is higher than the highest liquid level of the raw water space 303. The purified water outlet 305 is connected to the purified water space 304. When the pump 200 works, the liquid in the water storage cavity 101 enters the raw water space 303. The gas in the raw water space 303 at least partially enters the purified water space 304 through the first air outlet 308. The liquid in the raw water space 303 enters the purified water space 304 through the filter core 302. The gas in the purified water space 304 is discharged from the pet water dispenser through the purified water outlet 305. The liquid in the purified water space 304 is output to the water drinking part 401 through the purified water outlet 305. In this design, the discharge path of the gas in the filter device 300 is consistent with the flow path of the liquid in the filter device 300. The gas in the filter device 300 can be quickly discharged under the continuous injection of the liquid, ensuring smooth water outlet when the pet water dispenser starts. Further, the housing 301 is provided with a second air outlet 314 connected to the raw water space 303 and the water storage cavity 101. When the pump 200 works, at least part of the gas in the raw water space 303 can be discharged into the water storage cavity 101 through the second air outlet 314. In this way, part of the gas in the raw water space 303 enters the purified water space 304 through the first air outlet 308, and the other part enters the water storage cavity 101 through the second air outlet 314. In addition, the first air outlet 308 and the second air outlet 314 are arranged near the upper part of the housing 301, which is beneficial to the rapid discharge of the rising gas and the smooth discharge of the gas, so as to quickly discharge the gas in the raw water space 303, make the liquid quickly fill the raw water space 303, and shorten the waiting time required from the start of the pump 200 to the water outlet of the purified water outlet 305. As the water in the raw water space enters the purified water space through the filter core, the water level in the purified water space rises to the buffer space. At this time, the water level in the buffer space is higher than the first air outlet 308, which will make the first air outlet unable to discharge the gas. However, since most of the gas in the machine body has been discharged, the gas in the machine body is much less than when the machine is just started. Therefore, the second air outlet 314 can completely meet the demand and will not affect the water outlet speed.

[0121] Figure 6 A structure of the filter device 300 is shown. Please refer to Figure 6The raw water space 303 is arranged outside the purified water space 304 and communicates with the pump outlet 202, the filter core 302 is arranged between the raw water space 303 and the purified water space 304, the purified water space 304 communicates with the buffer space 307 through the filter core water outlet 315, the buffer space 307 communicates with the purified water outlet 305, and the filter core water outlet 315 is staggered with the purified water outlet 305. When the pump 200 works, the liquid in the water storage cavity 101 is delivered from bottom to top to the raw water space 303, the gas in the raw water space 303 is discharged through the first exhaust hole 308 and the second exhaust hole 314, the liquid in the raw water space 303 passes through the filter core 302 horizontally to enter the purified water space 304, the gas in the purified water space 304 enters the buffer space 307 through the filter core water outlet 315, the gas in the buffer space 307 is discharged through the purified water outlet 305, the liquid in the purified water space 304 enters the buffer space 307 from bottom to top through the filter core water outlet 315, and the liquid in the buffer space 307 is delivered to the drinking water part 401 through the purified water outlet 305. The filter core 302 is a polypropylene activated carbon filter core, and the hydrogen ion exchange resin member and the potassium ion exchange resin member are arranged in the raw water space 303. The filter core 302 is a polypropylene activated carbon filter core, which can filter large-particle impurities, the hydrogen ion exchange resin member and the potassium ion exchange resin member are arranged in the raw water space 303 to form weakly acidic soft water, the polypropylene activated carbon filter core can add trace elements required by pets, enhance the taste and help the health of pets. Further, a descaling filter element can be arranged in the raw water space 303 to remove calcium and magnesium ions in the liquid in the raw water space 303. Optionally, the descaling filter element can be directly arranged in the raw water space 303 for convenient replacement. In the embodiment, since the liquid from the water storage cavity 101 flows in the filter element 300 by horizontal flow and from bottom to top, the liquid flow rate is slowed down, so that the liquid can fully contact the filter core 302 and other filter materials to achieve better filtering effect. In addition, by staggering the filter core water outlet 315 and the purified water outlet 305, the liquid overflowing from the filter core water outlet 315 is buffered at the top of the shell 301 during the liquid flowing from bottom to top, and then naturally overflows from the purified water outlet 305, avoiding the liquid from spouting from the purified water outlet 305.

[0122] Please refer to Figures 6-9The shell 301 comprises an upper end cover 309 at the top and a lower end cover 310 at the bottom, the purified water outlet 305 is arranged on the upper end cover 309, and a connecting pipe 316 is arranged around the purified water outlet 305 on the upper end cover 309; the filter element 302 comprises a filter element body 312 and a filter element end cover 313 connected to the upper portion of the filter element body 312, the lower end of the filter element body 312 is arranged on the lower end cover 310, the filter element end cover 313 is connected to the connecting pipe 316, the inside of the filter element 302 is the purified water space 304, the inside of the connecting pipe 316 is the buffer space 307, the filter element end cover 313 is provided with a filter element water outlet 315 which communicates the purified water space 304 and the buffer space 307, and the water outlet direction of the filter element water outlet 315 deviates from the purified water outlet 305. Optionally, the filter element end cover 313 is provided with a ring body 317 around the filter element water outlet 315, the ring body 317 is sealed and matched with the connecting pipe 316 by a sealing element 329 to form the buffer space 307, wherein the sealing element 329 is a sealing ring arranged between the ring body 317 and the connecting pipe 316. Further, the shell 301 further comprises a middle shell 311 connecting the upper end cover 309 and the lower end cover 310, optionally, the upper portion of the middle shell 311 can be integrated with the upper end cover 309, and the lower portion of the middle shell 311 can be integrated with the lower end cover 310, so as to reduce assembly parts and improve assembly efficiency.

[0123] Specifically, the upper portion of the shell 301 is provided with a first air vent 308, the first air vent 308 communicates the raw water space 303 and the buffer space 307, and the first air vent 308 is higher than the highest liquid level of the raw water space 303. At the initial stage of the pump 200, at least part of the air in the raw water space 303 can enter the buffer space 307 through the first air vent 308 and be discharged from the purified water outlet 305. In specific implementation, a communication part can be arranged on the connecting pipe 316, after the connecting pipe 316 is tightly combined with the ring body 317, the part of the communication part which communicates the buffer space 307 and the raw water space 303 constitutes the first air vent 308. The communication part can be a hole or a notch arranged on the connecting pipe 316, for example, as shown in the figure, the communication part is a notch arranged on the connecting pipe 316. Figure 7 Further, since the first air vent 308 is higher than the highest liquid level of the raw water space 303, when the purified water space 304 is full of liquid, the liquid can enter the raw water space 303 from the first air vent 308, in order to take into account the air exhaust function of the first air vent 308 and reduce the liquid flowing back to the raw water space 303 through the first air vent 308, the opening area of the first air vent 308 in the embodiment is 10mm 2 ~14mm 2 .

[0124] The lower end cover 310 is provided with a water inlet 319, an exhaust port 320, a water outlet column 321 and an exhaust column 322. The water inlet 319 and the exhaust port 320 penetrate the upper surface and the lower surface of the lower end cover 310. The water outlet column 321 and the exhaust column 322 are vertically arranged in the raw water space 303. The lower end of the water outlet column 321 is open and communicates with the water inlet 319. The upper end of the water outlet column 321 is open and forms a filter core water inlet 330. The lower end of the exhaust column 322 communicates with the exhaust port 320. The upper end of the exhaust column 322 is open and forms a second exhaust hole 314. The second exhaust hole 314 is higher than the filter core water inlet 330. The second exhaust hole 314 is flush with the highest liquid level of the raw water space 303. When the pump 200 is working, at least part of the air in the raw water space 303 can enter the water storage cavity 101 through the second exhaust hole 314. When the liquid level in the raw water space 303 exceeds the highest liquid level of the raw water space 303, the liquid in the raw water space 303 can be discharged into the water storage cavity 101 through the second exhaust hole 314. The upper end faces of the water outlet column 321, the exhaust column 322 and the positioning column 323 are all higher than the filter core end cover 313. In this way, the highest liquid level of the raw water space 303 is higher than the upper cover of the filter core 302. The filter core 302 is entirely soaked in the liquid, which increases the effective contact area of the filter core 302 with the liquid, thereby facilitating the improvement of the filtering effect of the filter core 302.

[0125] The lower end cover 310 is further provided with a positioning column 323. The positioning column 323 is located in the raw water space 303. The edge of the filter core end cover 313 is provided with a first positioning hole 324 and a second positioning hole 325. The lower end of the positioning column 323 is connected to the lower end cover 310. The upper end of the positioning column 323 passes through the first positioning hole 324 and cooperates with a positioning portion 326 of the upper end cover 309. The exhaust column 322 passes through the second positioning hole 325. The second exhaust hole 314 of the exhaust column 322 and the upper end cover 309 have a gap 327. The gas and the liquid in the raw water space 303 can enter the exhaust column 322 through the gap 327. When the liquid level in the raw water space 303 is higher than the second exhaust hole 314, the liquid will be discharged from the second exhaust hole 314. Thus, the second exhaust hole 314 defines the highest liquid level of the raw water space 303. Optionally, the first positioning hole 324 and the second positioning hole 325 are different in size and / or shape. The size and the shape of the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole are designed to be different, which facilitates quick alignment during assembly of the filter device, improves the assembly efficiency and reduces the error rate.

[0126] Further, the lower part of the filter device 300 is accommodated in the mounting groove 501 of the primary filter device 500, the water inlet 319 of the lower end cover 310 is opposite to the through hole 502 in the mounting groove 501, the air outlet 320 of the lower end cover 310 is exposed from the through hole 502, and the air outlet 320 is configured to face the water inlet 319. The inlet of the water outlet pipe 700 is fixedly connected with the pump outlet 202, and the outlet of the water outlet pipe 700 enters the through hole 502 in the mounting groove 501 and is in clearance fit with the water inlet 319. When the liquid level in the raw water space 303 exceeds the highest liquid storage surface of the raw water space 303, the liquid in the raw water space 303 can reach the air outlet 320 through the second air vent hole 314 and flow back to the water storage cavity 101 along the water outlet pipe 700. In a specific implementation, in order to ensure that the liquid flowing out of the air outlet 320 can flow along the water outlet pipe 700, the opening area of the air outlet 320 is set to 2mm 2 -5mm 2 , so that a water column is formed when the liquid flows out of the air outlet 320 and sprays towards the water outlet pipe 700. The liquid in the filter device 300 flows back to the water storage cavity 101 along the water outlet pipe 700, which is beneficial to reducing water flow noise.

[0127] The top of the upper end cover 309 has a flow guide surface 328 extending from the clean water outlet 305 to the drinking water part 401, and the flow guide surface 328 is used to guide the liquid overflowing from the clean water outlet 305 to converge towards the drinking water part 401. The flow guide surface 328 is configured as a recess extending from the vicinity of the clean water outlet 305 to at least part of the edge of the upper end cover 309, and the recess structure has a certain water storage volume. The liquid flowing out of the clean water outlet 305 flows slowly after being buffered by the recess structure, and a water flow effect of slowly flowing from top to bottom can be formed, which attracts pets to drink water while the water flow sound is small.

[0128] The drinking water disc 400, the filter device 300, the primary filter device 500 and the pump 200 of the pet water dispenser of the embodiment can be detached from the water tank 100, which facilitates cleaning of the inside of the water tank 100. In addition, the upper cover part and the lower cover part of the filter device 300 can be separated, which facilitates adding or reducing filter materials, such as descaling filter elements, to the raw water space 303.

[0129] The liquid flow path of the pet water dispenser provided in the embodiment is as shown in Figure 13 , please refer to Figure 13, the liquid in the water storage cavity 101 is stored, the operation control button makes the pump 200 work, the liquid in the water storage cavity 101 passes through the pump 200, the water outlet pipe 700 and the water outlet column 321 into the raw water space 303 in turn, the liquid in the raw water space 303 passes through the filter core 302 into the clean water space 304 in the filter core 302, when the liquid in the clean water space 304 is full, it continues to pass through the filter outlet 315 into the buffer space 307, when the liquid in the buffer space 307 is full, it flows out from the clean water outlet 305, flows along the guide surface 328 on the top of the upper end cover 309 to the drinking water part 401 of the water tray 400, when the liquid level of the drinking water part 401 is higher than the backwater hole 402, the excess liquid will flow down to the filter part of the primary filter 500 along the backwater hole 402, the liquid in the filter part first contacts the buffer area 504, reduces the potential energy, and then flows along the guide groove 506 to the backflow port 505, and then flows into the water storage cavity 101 after being filtered by the filter screen of the backflow port 505. At the same time, when the liquid level in the raw water space 303 is higher than the upper end surface of the exhaust column 322, i.e. the second exhaust hole 314, the liquid will enter the exhaust column 322 and flow along the exhaust column 322 to the exhaust port 320. Because the exhaust port 320 has a small diameter and is easy to form a water column, and the exhaust port 320 is close to the water outlet pipe 700, the liquid flowing out of the exhaust port 320 will slowly flow down along the water outlet pipe 700 into the water storage cavity 101, which helps to reduce the noise of the water flow. And in the process of circulating along the path shown in the figure, the liquid is filtered by the second filter structure of the primary filter screen, the first filter structure 211 of the pump inlet 201 and the filter core 302 of the filter device 300, ensuring that the liquid delivered to the drinking water part 401 is clean drinking water after multiple filtering processes. Figure 13

[0130] Please refer to Figure 14 ​When the filter device 300 does not store liquid, there is gas in the raw water space 303 and the clean water space 304. When the pump 200 works, liquid is pumped from the water storage cavity 101 to the raw water space 303 outside the filter core 302. Part of the gas in the raw water space 303 is discharged into the clean water space 304 through the first gas discharge hole 308, and the other part enters the gas discharge column 322 and enters the water storage cavity 101 through the gas discharge port 320. The gas in the raw water space 303 is quickly discharged through the multi-path gas discharge, so that the liquid quickly fills the raw water space 303, and then enters the clean water space 304 after being filtered by the filter core 302. The gas in the clean water space 304 is discharged upward through the filter core water outlet 315 and enters the buffer space 307. The gas in the buffer space 307 is discharged upward through the clean water outlet 305. The gas discharge path in the clean water space 304 is consistent with the liquid flow path, and the gas discharge path is from bottom to top, which is consistent with the characteristics of the upward movement of the gas. Therefore, the gas in the clean water space 304 can be quickly discharged, so that the liquid can quickly fill the clean water space 304, and then the clean water outlet 305 can smoothly discharge water, avoiding the situation that no water or small water flow occurs in the initial stage of the pump 200 working.
