The driving component drives the water pump component to rotate, and then the water in the water storage cavity is transported to the water drinking tray through the water conduit, and the water in the water storage cavity also passes through the filter cavity before entering the water conduit. The filter cavity is provided with a first filter element, and the first filter element is used to filter water to ensure that the water has a good cleanliness when entering the water pump component, thereby effectively ensuring the stable operation of the machine.
[0062] The above technical solution is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0063] In the embodiment of the present utility model, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the animal drinking water device includes: a water tank assembly 1000, a base assembly 3000, a fence 7000, an electronic cavity 4000, a water pump 2000 and a control system 6000.
[0064] The water tank assembly 1000 includes a water tank 1100, a water tray 1200 and a water pipe 1300. The water tank 1100 defines a water storage cavity with a top opening. The water tray 1200 is detachably mounted on the water tank 1100. The water pipe 1300 connects the water tank 1100 and the water tray 1200. In the specific implementation process, the water storage cavity is used to store water. The animal drinks water through the water tray 1200. The water tray 1200 can be detachably mounted at the opening of the water tank 1100 by means of snap connection or plug connection, so as to facilitate disassembly, installation and cleaning. The water in the water storage cavity is transported to the water tray 1200 through the water pipe 1300 for the animal to drink.

The driving assembly 2200 drives the water pump assembly 2100 to rotate and then drives the water to flow. Among them, the water pump assembly 2100 can be a rotating wheel, etc., and the driving assembly 2200 can be a power structure such as a stator and a winding to provide power for the rotation of the water pump assembly 2100. The electronic cavity 4000 is located below the water tank 1100, and the electronic cavity 4000 accommodates the driving assembly 2200. The fixed cover 2110 is detachably connected to the water tank 1100, which is convenient for disassembling and cleaning the water pump assembly 2100, such as plug-in or card-on or interference connection, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment. The filter chamber 2120 is connected to the water storage chamber and the delivery chamber 2130 respectively, and the water in the water storage chamber is delivered to the delivery chamber 2130 through the filter chamber 2120, and the water is filtered by the first filter element before entering the delivery chamber 2130. The delivery chamber 2130 is also connected to the water pipe 1300 to further deliver the water to the water pipe 1300, and the water pump assembly 2100 is located in the delivery chamber 2130. In this way, the water is filtered by the first filter element before entering the delivery chamber 2130, which can prevent the debris in the water from affecting the rotation of the water pump assembly 2100, thereby ensuring that the water pump 2000 works normally to deliver water.

Specifically, the bottom wall of the water storage tank 1100 is formed with a connecting plate 1140 facing the drinking water tray 1200, and the fixed cover 2110 is clamped with the connecting plate 1140. The connecting plate 1140 protrudes from the bottom wall of the water storage tank 1100, and the connecting plate 1140 is matched with the inner wall of the second cover shell 2112. The inner wall of the second cover shell 2112 is clamped and connected to the connecting plate 1140, so that the fixed cover 2110 is fixed to the bottom wall of the water storage tank 1100, and it is also convenient to disassemble the fixed cover 2110.

This design can ensure that the water has a good cleanliness when entering the water pump assembly, thereby effectively ensuring the stable operation of the machine.
[0072] In this embodiment, the filter chamber 2120 is connected to the water storage chamber through the second through hole 2114.

Specifically, the second through holes 2114 are elongated slit-shaped grille holes and are arranged at intervals. Such a design can not only realize the function of waterway communication, but also prevent large debris from entering the filter chamber 2120.
[0073] In this embodiment, in the projection of the animal drinking water device on the horizontal plane, the orthographic projection of the second through hole 2114 and the first through hole 2113 do not overlap, so that the water can enter the first through hole 2113 after being fully filtered by the first filter element, thereby improving the utilization rate of the first filter element and ensuring the filtering effect. In addition, the side wall of the second housing 2112 is also provided with a third through hole 2115, and the first filter element is inserted into the filter cavity 2120 through the third through hole 2115, which is convenient for the installation and replacement of the first filter element.
