Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pet drinking fountains, and in particular relates to an automatic flushing pet drinking fountain. Background Art
[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, pets have become important members of many families. For the health of pets, it is essential to provide clean and fresh water. In the existing design of pet drinking fountains, the drain outlet of the drinking basin is usually not set at the bottom. The original intention of this design is to form a reservoir of a certain depth for pets to drink water. However, this design also brings some problems. Due to the high position of the drain outlet, particulate impurities such as food residues and hair are easily accumulated at the bottom. These impurities gradually accumulate at the bottom of the drinking basin, which not only affects the cleanliness of the drinking water, but also may breed bacteria, posing a potential threat to the health of pets. In addition, when the water outlet component is discharging water, it is often not easy to thoroughly rinse off the particulate impurities accumulated at the bottom due to the limitations of the water flow direction and force. This means that even when the water dispenser is in use, these impurities may continue to exist, affecting the quality and safety of pet drinking water. Utility Model Content
