[0043] The expansion box 9 can be horizontally movably connected to the side wall of the main box body 1, and the upper side of the expansion box 9 is lower than the upper side of the main box body 1. The outer side wall of the expansion box 9 is equipped with a push-pull handle 11 (such as Figure 3 As shown), it is used to push and pull the expansion box 9. The side wall of the main box body 1 has a positioning hole 1b that cooperates with the horizontal movement of the expansion box 9. The bottom of the expansion box 9 is close to the bottom of the main box body 1. The expansion box 9 can be pulled outward or folded inward like a drawer.
[0044] Among them, Figure 1 As shown, when the expansion box 9 is pulled outward and used, an expansion water tray 8 for drinking water is detachably mounted on the upper side of the expansion box 9.

[0046] A flexible sealing member 10 is attached to the hole wall of the positioning hole 1b, and the sealing member 10 seals the matching gap between the expansion box 9 and the positioning hole 1b, thereby ensuring the sealing effect.
[0047] When the expansion box 9 is retracted inward, the expansion water tray 8 is separated from the upper opening of the expansion box 9 so that the upper opening of the expansion box 9 is completely connected with the main water chamber 1a.
[0048] Two water holes are provided at the bottom of the side wall of the above-mentioned intermediate shell 2, and a lower grille 2a is installed on each water hole, one of which is opposite to the water grid hole 9a and is close to the water grid hole 9a when the expansion box 9 is folded inward, so that the water in the expansion box 9 can be fully filtered.
[0049] In order to fully filter the water on the suction side and the discharge side of the circulating water pump 4, the filtering component includes:
[0050] A filter medium 3 for filtering water, the filter medium 3 being located at the suction side of a circulating water pump 4;
[0051] The filter body 5 is used for filtering water, and the filter body 5 is located at the pump outlet side of the circulating water pump 4.
[0052] In addition, the upper end of the intermediate shell 2 is provided with a detachable intermediate protrusion 2c, which is thinner than the main part of the intermediate shell 2 so as to dock with the water supply nozzle 6. The main water supply disk 7 has a through mounting hole, and the mounting hole of the main water supply disk 7 is sealingly sleeved with the intermediate protrusion 2c to prevent water leakage. The upper end of the intermediate protrusion 2c is located above the main water supply disk 7 and is detachably connected (threaded or clamped) to the water supply nozzle 6. The intermediate protrusion 2c has an inner cavity that passes through from top to bottom, and the inner cavity of the intermediate protrusion 2c constitutes a part of the water flow channel of the intermediate shell 2 and is connected to the water supply nozzle 6.
[0053] As a preferred installation scheme, a middle partition 2b is fixed to the inner wall of the intermediate shell 2, and the middle partition 2b separates the filter body 5 and the circulating water pump 4. The middle partition 2b is provided with a middle water hole 2d for water flow and facing the pump outlet side of the circulating water pump 4.
[0054] The bottom wall of the main water supply tray 7 is set as an inclined surface (conical inclined surface), the first water permeable hole 7a is located at the lowest point of the bottom wall of the main water supply tray 7 (the edge of the conical inclined surface), and the water supply nozzle 6 is located at the highest point of the bottom wall of the main water supply tray 7 (the center of the conical inclined surface). When the small animals drink water, the water in the main water supply tray 7 is in a state of continuous flow.
[0055] Based on the above-mentioned small water dispenser, a method of use is provided, which includes an expanded water supply state and a non-expanded water supply state that can be switched for execution.
[0056] like Figure 1As shown, in the extended water supply state, the following steps are performed:
[0057] The step of installing the expansion water tray 8 is to pull the expansion box 9 outward for a distance, and then cover the expansion water tray 8 on the upper opening of the expansion box 9, so that the first water permeable hole 7a of the main water supply tray 7 faces the interior of the expansion water tray 8 downward;
[0058] In the step of expanding the water supply, it is noted that the water level in the main water chamber 1a does not exceed the upper side of the expansion box 9. The circulating water pump 4 is used to pump the drinking water in the main water chamber 1a into the intermediate housing 2, so that the drinking water enters the circulating water pump 4 after being filtered by the lower grid 2a and the filter medium 3. The circulating water pump 4 pumps the water out from bottom to top. After the drinking water is filtered by the filter body 5, it is splashed into the main water supply tray 7 through the water supply nozzle 6, so that the main water supply tray 7 is the first drinking water area. The remaining water flows downward into the expansion water tray 8 through the first water permeable hole 7a, so that the expansion water tray 8 is the second drinking water area, and water can be given to small animals;
[0059] The controller is used to control the operation of the circulating water pump 4, so that the step of expanding the water supply is repeated multiple times;
[0060] In the expansion water supply step, the remaining water in the expansion water tray 8 flows downward into the bottom of the inner cavity of the expansion box 9 through the second water permeable hole 8a. During the water absorption process of the circulating water pump 4, the water in the inner cavity of the expansion box 9 enters the main water cavity 1a through the water grid hole 9a and is sucked by the circulating water pump 4 for circulation and filtration.
[0061] There are two first water-permeable holes 7a, one of which faces the inner cavity of the expansion box 9, and the other of which faces the main water cavity 1a.
[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, in the non-expanded water supply state, the following steps are performed:
[0063] Remove the expansion water tray 8, push the expansion box 9 into the main water cavity 1a of the main box body 1, so that the outer wall of the expansion box 9 covers and seals the positioning hole 1b of the side wall of the main box body 1, and then fill the main water cavity 1a with water;
[0064] The drinking water in the main water chamber 1a is pumped into the intermediate shell 2 by the circulating water pump 4, so that the drinking water enters the circulating water pump 4 after being filtered by the lower grid 2a and the filter medium 3. The circulating water pump 4 pumps water out from bottom to top. After the drinking water is filtered by the filter body 5, it is splashed into the main water supply tray 7 through the water supply nozzle 6, so that the main water supply tray 7 becomes the drinking water area, and the remaining water flows downward through the two first water permeable holes 7a into the inner cavity of the expansion box 9 and the main water chamber 1a, thereby circulating and filtering.
[0065] Therefore, in the above-mentioned expanded water supply state and non-expanded water supply state, circulation and filtration are the basic processes. After the water supply nozzle 6 discharges water, the remaining water that is not drunk flows back to the main water chamber 1a through the first water permeable hole 7a. Under the suction action of the circulating water pump 4, the water enters the circulating water pump 4 through the filtering action of the lower grille 2a and the filter medium 3, and then is output upward through the filtering action of the filter body 5; this process is repeated in this way, which can solve the problem of water pollution existing in the prior art.
[0066] The water supply nozzle 6 and the main water supply tray can be removed for cleaning, and the inner wall of the main box body 1 can be cleaned.

A method for using the small-sized variable-volume water dispenser according to claim 6, characterized in that: Includes switchable extended water supply state and non-extended water supply state; In the extended water supply state, the following steps are performed: The step of installing the expansion water tray (8) is to pull the expansion box (9) outward for a certain distance, and then cover the expansion water tray (8) on the upper opening of the expansion box (9) so that the first water permeable hole (7a) of the main water supply tray (7) faces downward to the inside of the expansion water tray (8); Steps for expanding water supply, paying attention to the water level in the main water chamber (1a) not exceeding the upper side of the expansion box (9), using the circulating water pump (4) to pump the drinking water in the main water chamber (1a) into the intermediate housing (2), so that the drinking water enters the circulating water pump (4) after being filtered by the lower grid (2a) and the filter medium (3), and the circulating water pump (4) pumps water out from bottom to top, and after the drinking water is filtered by the filter body (5), it is splashed into the main water supply tray (7) through the water supply nozzle (6), so that the main water supply tray (7) becomes the first drinking water area, and the remaining water flows downward through the first water permeable hole (7a) into the expanded water tray (8), so that the expanded water tray (8) becomes the second drinking water area; The controller is used to control the operation of the circulating water pump (4) so that the step of expanding the water supply is repeated multiple times; In the step of expanding water supply, the remaining water in the expansion water tray (8) flows downwardly into the bottom of the inner cavity of the expansion box (9) through the second water permeable hole (8a), and during the water absorption process of the circulating water pump (4), the water in the inner cavity of the expansion box (9) enters the main water cavity (1a) through the water grid hole (9a) and is sucked by the circulating water pump (4); Two first water permeable holes (7a) are provided, one of which is directly opposite to the inner cavity of the expansion box (9), and the other first water permeable hole (7a) is directly opposite to the main water cavity (1a); In the non-expanded water supply state, the following steps are performed: Remove the expansion water tray (8), push the expansion box (9) into the main water chamber (1a) of the main box body (1), so that the outer side wall of the expansion box (9) covers and seals the positioning hole (1b) on the side wall of the main box body (1), and then fill the main water chamber (1a) with water; The drinking water in the main water chamber (1a) is pumped into the intermediate housing (2) by a circulating water pump (4), so that the drinking water enters the circulating water pump (4) after being filtered by the lower grid (2a) and the filter medium (3). The circulating water pump (4) pumps water out from bottom to top. After being filtered by the filter body (5), the drinking water is sprayed into the main water supply tray (7) through the water supply nozzle (6), so that the main water supply tray (7) becomes a drinking water area. The remaining water flows downward through the two first water permeable holes (7a) into the inner cavity of the expansion box (9) and the main water chamber (1a).
