[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, more and more people like to keep pets. Therefore, the diet and daily life of pets will be of concern to pet owners. The existing way of providing drinking water for pets is relatively simple. Usually, a water tank is installed in the water dispenser to store the water that the pet needs to drink. The water tank is connected to the pet drinking end in a circular reflux manner, so that the water licked by the pet flows back to the water tank, which is very likely to cause water pollution and bacteria in the water tank, thereby affecting the health of the pet. In addition, the pet does not like to drink the water that has been contaminated for a long time.

[0003] Therefore, the above technical problems need to be solved. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The following will be combined with the attached Figure 1 To Attachment Fig.11 The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0038] With the improvement of people's living standards, keeping pets has become a popular trend. For this reason, people need to take care of their pets' diet and daily life. For example, to give pets drinking water regularly, a water tank is usually installed in the feeder to provide water for the pets. The water tank and the pet drinking port are in a circulating water outflow and reflux mode. In this way, the water that the pet drinks continues to return to the water tank, causing the water originally stored in the water tank to be polluted and produce bacteria. Therefore, the probability of pets getting sick will increase, and pets will refuse to drink water that has been left for a long time.

[0039] To this end, the inventor invented a pet drinking water machine that can provide pets with a mobile drinking water source that is not easy to breed bacteria, thereby avoiding the problem in the prior art that pets are prone to getting sick by drinking water that has been left for a long time.

[0040] Specifically, Figures 1 to 11 As shown in the figure, a pet drinking fountain comprises a drinking tray 1 from top to bottom, and a base 4 is installed below the drinking tray. Figure 5 As shown, the water tray 1 and the base 4 are detachably connected by a connecting block 10 .

[0041] Further Figure 2 As shown, a water outlet member 2 is installed between the water tray 1 and the base 4, and one end of the water outlet member 2 is connected to the water outlet hole 21 in the water tray 1, so that water can flow out from the water outlet hole 21 and fall into the water tray 1. In addition, in another way, the water outlet pipe 23 can also extend from the water outlet hole 21 to be exposed on the surface of the water tray 1, so that drinking water can flow out better and is convenient for pets to drink.

[0042] However, the other end of the water outlet member 2 is received in the base 4. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the other end of the water outlet member 2 includes a first water pump 22 and a water outlet pipe 23, and the first water pump 22 and part of the water outlet pipe 23 are received in the base 4. The base 4 is also provided with a through hole 7, and the through hole 7 is used for the water outlet pipe 23 to pass through the hole to achieve connection with an external water source. In addition, the base 4 is also provided with a control circuit board 41, and the first water pump 22 is electrically connected to the control circuit board 41 and is controlled by the control circuit board 41.

[0043] It should be understood that, with this design, the water outlet member 2 is connected to an external water source through the first water pump 22, and water from the external water source can flow from the water outlet pipe 23 to the water outlet hole 21, so that water flows out of the water outlet hole 21 for the pet to drink. It should be noted that the external water source includes purified water from a water purifier or water from a tap or bottled water.

[0044] When the pet needs to drink water, it walks to the water tray 1 and licks the water outlet 21 with its tongue. At this time, the water tray 1 is also provided with a sensor 6, which is used to sense the approach of the pet. When the pet approaches, the water outlet 21 will discharge water for the pet to lick, and the excess water will be discharged from the drainage hole 31.

[0045] It can be understood that in addition to the water that the pet drinks coming from an external water source so that the pet can drink active and fresh water, after the pet finishes drinking the water, the water remaining in the water tray 1 can also be discharged from the drainage hole 31 in time to prevent the pet from drinking the water that has been remaining in the water tray 1 for a long time again.

[0046] In order to better solve the problem that the excess water in the water tray 1 can be discharged in time.

[0047] Further, such as Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the height H of the water outlet hole 21 is greater than or equal to the height H of the drainage hole 31 .

[0048] This design enables the excess water from the water outlet 21 to be discharged from the drainage hole 31. On the contrary, if the height of the drainage hole 31 is higher than the water outlet 21, the excess water in the water tray 1 cannot be quickly discharged.

[0049] In another usage scenario, Figure 4 As shown, the drainage hole 31 is arranged below the water outlet hole 21 , so that the water flowing out of the water outlet hole 21 can flow out of the outside along with the drainage hole 31 driven by the water flow after being licked by the pet.

[0050] In another embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the surface near the water outlet 21 slopes toward the drainage hole 31. The surface near the water outlet 21 slopes toward the drainage hole 31 at a certain inclination angle. It should be understood that water flows to a lower place, so the excess water from the water outlet 21 and the water licked by the pet can flow to a lower place and be discharged from the drainage hole 31.

[0051] However, in addition to ensuring that the pet can drink water, the pet can also excrete water in time. Figure 3 As shown, there is a certain distance d between the water outlet hole 21 and the drainage hole 31 .

[0052] It should be understood that in this application scenario, this design allows the excess water from the water outlet 21 to flow to the drain hole 31 for a certain period of time, so as to ensure that the pet has sufficient time to lick the water at the water outlet 21. It is understood that if the distance between the water outlet 21 and the drain hole 31 is too close, the water flowing out of the water outlet 21 will quickly enter the drain hole 31, and the pet will not be able to drink water effectively.

[0053] In another embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the hole diameter F1 of the drainage hole 31 is greater than or equal to the hole diameter F2 of the water outlet hole 21 .

[0054] It should be understood that since the aperture F1 of the drainage hole 31 is greater than or equal to the aperture F2 of the water outlet hole 31, it is ensured that the excess water discharged from the water outlet hole 21 flows out of the drainage hole 31 as quickly as possible. This design can effectively ensure that when the pet is drinking water, there is always water near the water outlet hole 21, so that the pet can drink water effectively and the excess water can be discharged in time, avoiding the pet from drinking water that has been deposited for too long.

[0055] In order to make the regulation mode of the living water circulation more flexible, further, Figure 6 to Figure 7 As shown, a pet drinking fountain further comprises a drainage component 3, wherein the drainage component 3 has a drainage pipe 33, one end of the drainage pipe 33 is connected to the drainage hole 31, and the other end of the drainage pipe 33 is connected to the outside or connected to a water storage tank 5. So that the excess water drunk by the pet can flow out of the drainage hole 31 to the water storage tank 5 to become waste water, and then the pet owner can dump the waste water in the water storage tank 5 to ensure the cleanliness of the pet drinking fountain.

[0056] Further Figure 7 As shown, the drainage member 3 further includes a second water pump 32 , and the second water pump 32 is disposed on the drainage pipe 33 .

[0057] In some application scenarios, for example, if a pet drinking fountain is located far away from a water tank, the waste water in the pet drinking fountain will be discharged into the water tank at a relatively slow speed. At this time, the second water pump 32 can be used to pump the water that needs to be discharged out of the drain hole 31 to speed up the discharge speed of the drain hole 31, so that the waste water can be discharged into the water tank in time. It should be noted that the second water pump 32 can be set at any position on the drain pipe 33 according to actual needs.

[0058] Further, such as Figure 8As shown, the pet water dispenser further includes a sensing part 6, and the sensing part 6 is arranged in the water tray 1. The sensing part 6 has one or more than two. When the sensing part 6 has two, the two sensing parts 6 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0059] It should be noted that one of the two sensing parts 6 has a transmitting function, and the other has a receiving function. Therefore, a signal will be continuously transmitted between the two sensing parts 6. It can be understood that when the pet walks to the pet water dispenser to drink water, its head goes deep into the drinking water tray 1, which will block the continuous transmission of the signal between the two sensing parts 6. The sensing part 6 transmits the information of the blocked continuous transmission of the signal to the control circuit board 41, and the control circuit board 41 thereby operates the first water pump 22 to extract the external water source, so that the pet can drink the water flowing from the external water source. On the contrary, when the pet finishes drinking the water and leaves, the two sensing parts 6 resume the continuous transmission of the signal, and the water outlet 21 stops discharging water, thereby playing a role in energy saving and saving water resources.

[0060] In order to better sense when the pet comes to drink water, in another embodiment, the height of the sensing portion 6 is higher than the height of the water outlet 21 .

[0061] It should be understood that the height of the sensing part 6 is higher than the height of the water outlet 21. When the pet comes to drink water, the head of the pet first contacts the sensing area between the two sensing parts 6, so that the control circuit board 41 can timely control the first water pump 22 to pump water.

[0062] In addition, in some other embodiments, the water tray 1 can be made of a transparent material, and the sensing part 6 is an infrared sensing part. In this case, the infrared sensing part can sense whether the pet is drinking water through the transparent water tray 1. Alternatively, the sensing part 6 is set at the bottom of the water tray facing upwards, and when the pet puts its head into the water tray 1, water can be sensed.

[0063] Further, such as Figures 8 to 10 As shown, from a top view, the line connecting the four points of the sensing portion 6, the water outlet hole 21 and the drainage hole 31 is in the shape of a straight line, a diamond or a triangle.

[0064] Specifically, Figure 8As shown, the sensing part 6, the water outlet 21 and the drainage hole 31 are centrally arranged on the water tray 1, which can effectively reduce the volume of the pet water dispenser, making the pet water dispenser more compact and portable. In addition, the two sensing parts 6 are symmetrically arranged, and the water outlet 21 and the drainage hole 31 are symmetrically arranged, so that when the pet drinks water, the sensing part 6 can effectively sense whether the pet is drinking water, and the symmetrical arrangement of the water outlet 21 and the drainage hole 31 can effectively ensure that the pet can drink water, and the excess water in the water tray 1 can also be discharged from the drainage hole 31.

[0065] In such Fig. 9 In the illustrated embodiment, the lines connecting the four points of the water outlet hole 21 and the drainage hole 31 are distributed in a straight line on the water drinking tray 1. While effectively utilizing the space of the pet water dispenser to make the pet water dispenser more compact, the water outlet hole 21 and the drainage hole 31 disposed between the two sensing parts 6 can also ensure that the pet can drink water while excess water can be discharged from the drainage hole 31.

[0066] In such Fig.10 In the embodiment shown, the water outlet 21 and the drainage hole 31 are connected to form a triangle arrangement on the water tray 1. Preferably, the water outlet 21 is arranged between the two sensing parts 6. This design effectively utilizes the space of the pet water dispenser and makes the pet water dispenser more compact. At this time, the contact area between the two sensing parts 6 of the pet is the largest, which can effectively improve the sensing sensitivity of the pet water dispenser. In addition, the excess water in the water tray 1 can also be discharged from the drainage hole 31.

[0067] It should be noted that if Figures 8 to 10 In the embodiment, the two sensing parts 6, the drainage hole 31 and the water outlet hole 31 are arranged at intervals from each other and have a certain distance. This design allows the water outlet hole 21 to discharge water in time when the pet drinks water. When the pet finishes drinking water, the water in the water drinking tray 1 can be discharged in time, and the limited space of the water drinking tray 1 is well utilized, saving the use space of the water drinking tray 1.

[0068] In addition, in some other embodiments, the sensing parts 6 are not limited to two, and only one may be provided. As long as the sensing part 6 has transmitting and receiving functions integrated, the above functions can be realized.

[0069] Further, such as Fig.11As shown, the base 4 described above is assembled below the water tray 1 in a detachable connection manner; in addition to using the connection block 10 described above to achieve detachable connection with the water tray, the base 4 can also be connected by a spiral connection method, a snap connection method, a magnetic connection method, etc. In addition to accommodating the first water pump 22 and part of the water outlet pipe 23, the first water pump 22 is connected to the water outlet hole 21 and the outside world at one end in the base 4 through the water outlet pipe 23; the other end of the first water pump 22 is connected to the external water source through the water outlet pipe 23, and a water tank 5 can be detachably connected below the base 4, as shown in FIG. Fig.11 As shown, the water storage tank 5 is also connected to the drainage pipe 33 to store the water flowing out of the drainage hole 31 .

[0070] In addition, the drain pipe 33 can also be connected to the sewer, such as Figure 7 As shown, the water discharged from the drainage hole 31 flows into the sewer, saving the pet owner the trouble of cleaning up the water storage tank 5.

[0071] Further Fig.11 As shown, at the outlets of the water outlet 21 and the drain hole 31, filter elements 8 may be provided respectively. The filter element 8 provided at the water outlet 21 is used to filter impurities in the water from the external water source, so that the pet can drink clean water. It should be understood that the filter element 8 provided at the water outlet 21 can filter out impurities contained in the water, while the filter element 8 provided at the drain hole 31 can effectively filter the hair left in the water after the pet drinks the water, so that the discharged water does not contain impurities such as pet hair, avoiding blockage.

[0072] Further, Fig.11 As shown, a sealing ring 9 can be added at the connection between the water outlet pipe 23 and the water outlet hole 21 and at the connection between the water outlet pipe 23 and the first water pump 22, so that water will not leak from the connection during the flow process, and the circuit will not be dampened. Similarly, the drainage member 3 can also be provided with the sealing ring 9 to prevent water from leaking from the connection during the flow process, and the circuit will not be dampened, which will affect the use.

[0073] The pet drinking fountain described above enables the pet to drink fresh water from an external water source in time when the pet needs to drink water, and the remaining water can be discharged from the drainage hole 31 in time, thereby preventing the pet from drinking water that has been retained in the water tray 1 for a long time and breeds bacteria, thereby effectively avoiding the technical problem of the pet drinking unclean water and causing the pet to become sick.

[0074] According to the disclosure and teaching of the above description, the technical personnel in the field to which the utility model belongs can also change and modify the above implementation. Therefore, the utility model is not limited to the specific implementation methods disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to the utility model should also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model. In addition, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for the convenience of description and do not constitute any limitation to the utility model.
