It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand the utility model, but does not constitute a limitation of the utility model.

[0028] Example:

[0029] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, a pet drinking fountain comprises a water storage basin 1, a water receiving basin 2 and a host 3;

[0030] The water storage basin 1 is provided with a water containing cavity 101 and a mounting hole, and the water containing cavity 101 is connected to the outside through the mounting hole; the water receiving basin 2 is arranged on the mounting hole and blocks the water containing cavity 101; the host 3 is arranged on the water storage basin 1, and the host 3 has a water inlet located in the water containing cavity 101 and a water outlet located above the water receiving basin 2, and the water outlet of the host 3 is arc-shaped;

[0031] A water filter basin 4 is provided below the water receiving basin 2. The water filter basin 4 has a relative water receiving end and a water leaking end. Accordingly, the water receiving basin 2 is provided with an overflow port 203 located above the water receiving end of the water filter basin 4. The leaking end of the water filter basin 4 is connected to the water holding chamber 101 through a leaking hole 403. The water filter basin 4 is provided with a filter element 5 located between the water receiving end and the water leaking end.

[0032] The noise of the existing pet drinking fountain when in use comes from the sound of water flow during the water delivery and return process. The pet drinking fountain is designed with a new waterway structure. On the one hand, the shape of the water outlet of the main unit 3 is changed to effectively increase the width of the water outlet, avoid water concentration, disperse the water flow, and reduce the noise of water flowing into the water receiving basin 2; on the other hand, a water filter basin 4 is set below the water receiving basin 2. After the return water falls into the water filter basin 4, it flows back into the water holding chamber 101. The return water falls twice, which reduces the height of the return water falling in a single time, reduces the kinetic energy of the return water, and reduces the return noise. At the same time, a filter 5 is provided on the water filter basin 4, and the return water is filtered by the filter 5 to improve the water quality, improve the water supply quality, and ensure the safety of pets' drinking water.

[0033] Specifically, the water storage basin 1 can be constructed in any suitable shape, and a water storage cavity 101 is provided in the water storage basin 1 to store water, and a mounting hole is provided to connect the water receiving basin 2. The water receiving basin 2 is used to hold water for the pet to drink, and also to seal the water storage cavity 101 to reduce the evaporation loss of the water stored in the water storage cavity 101. The host 3 is used by the user to control the start and stop, working parameters, etc. of the pet drinking fountain to improve the convenience of use.

[0034] When working, the host 3 is started to transfer the water stored in the water receiving chamber 101 to the water receiving basin 2, and the pet can drink the water in the water receiving basin 2. The excess water in the water receiving basin 2 flows into the water filter basin 4 through the overflow port 203, and then flows back to the water receiving chamber 101 after being filtered by the filter element 5, so as to realize water circulation and reduce water consumption.

[0035] In this embodiment, the water filter basin 4 includes an upper water filter area 401 and a lower water filter area 402 which are staggered one above the other. One end of the upper water filter area 401 is constructed as the water receiving end, and the other end of the upper water filter area 401 is connected to the lower water filter area 402. One end of the lower water filter area 402 is connected to the upper water filter area 401, and the other end of the lower water filter area 402 is constructed as the leaking end; and the upper water filter area 401 and the lower water filter area 402 gradually tilt downward from the water receiving end to the leaking end, and the filter element 5 and the leaking hole 403 are sequentially arranged on the lower water filter area 402 along the tilting direction.

[0036] Based on the above design, the space is expanded by staggered design of the upper water filter area 401 and the lower water filter area 402, so as to facilitate installation of the filter element 5 and ensure filtering effect. At the same time, the upper water filter area 401 and the lower water filter area 402 gradually tilt downward from the water receiving end to the water leakage end to avoid residual water on the water filter basin 4; but the specific tilt angle is small to avoid excessive flow of backflow water due to tilt, ensuring that the noise reduction effect meets the design requirements.

[0037] In this embodiment, the filter element 5 includes a filter cotton layer 501 and a filter core layer 502 arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The filter core layer 502 is provided with an upwardly protruding hollow cavity, in which water purification particles are placed, and the water purification particles form a water retaining wall.

[0038] Based on the above design scheme, primary filtration is achieved through the filter cotton layer 501, and secondary filtration is achieved through the filter core layer 502. The two filter layers cooperate with each other, which not only increases the number of filtration times, but also improves the filtration effect. It is easy to understand that the water purification particles can be selected from any suitable commercially available model. Further, through the water retaining wall in the shape of the water purification particles, impurities in the water flow are blocked by the water retaining wall, and there is no need to worry about impurities flowing back into the water containing chamber 101 through the water leakage hole 403, thereby ensuring the quality of filtration.

[0039] In this embodiment, the water receiving basin 2 is provided with a first water receiving area 201 and a second water receiving area 202 which are connected from bottom to top. The first water receiving area 201 is connected to the outside through the second water receiving area 202. The cross-sectional area of ​​the second water receiving area 202 is larger than that of the first water receiving area 201. The overflow port 203 is located at the connection between the first water receiving area 201 and the second water receiving area 202, and the overflow port 203 is arranged opposite to the water outlet of the main unit 3.

[0040] Based on the above design scheme, the first water receiving area 201 is a commonly used water storage area, and the second water receiving area 202 is a standby area. When the water supply of the main unit 3 is greater than the return water from the overflow port 203, water will accumulate in the water receiving basin 2, and the accumulated water will flow from the first water receiving area 201 into the second water receiving area 202. At this time, excess water is contained in the second water receiving area 202 to avoid pollution caused by water overflowing into the surrounding environment.

[0041] In this embodiment, the host 3 includes a housing 31, a control module 32, a battery module 33 and a water pump 34;

[0042] The housing 31 is constructed as a hollow structure and is vertically arranged on the water storage basin 1. The control module 32, the battery module 33 and the water pump 34 are arranged on the housing 31 from top to bottom;

[0043] The battery module 33 supplies power to the control module 32 and the water pump 34 respectively, and the housing 31 is provided with a charging cover 307 electrically connected to the battery module 33;

[0044] A gap is left between the battery module 33 and the outer shell 31. The water inlet end of the water pump 34 is provided with a water inlet pipe 6 connected to the water containing chamber 101, and the water outlet end of the water pump 34 is provided with a water outlet pipe 7 passing through the gap. The water outlet pipe 7 extends upward to above the water receiving basin 2. Accordingly, the water outlet of the water outlet pipe 7 is arc-shaped.

[0045] Based on the above design scheme, the control module 32 realizes the interaction between the pet water dispenser and the user, so that the user can conveniently control the operation of the pet water dispenser. The battery module 33 provides power for the operation of the pet water dispenser. The water pump 34 forms a water supply structure by connecting the water inlet pipe 6 and the water outlet pipe 7, so as to transport the water in the water chamber 101 to the water receiving basin 2. The housing 31 provides installation space for the control module 32, the battery module 33 and the water pump 34, and also integrates the three, so that the host 3 has the characteristics of simple structure, simple appearance, and easier disassembly and assembly.

[0046] In this embodiment, the water outlet pipe 7 includes a tee 701, a water outlet hole 702 and a water outlet pipe body 703 which are connected in sequence from bottom to top. The water inlet of the tee 701 is connected to the water pump 34, and the two water outlets of the tee 701 are respectively connected to the water outlet hole 702 and the outer shell 31. The outer shell 31 is provided with a tubular structure to enclose the water outlet hole 702. One end of the water outlet pipe body 703 is connected to the water outlet hole 702, and the other end of the water outlet pipe body 703 is passed through the outer shell 31 and connected to the outside.

[0047] Based on the above design, one of the two water outlets of the tee 701 is connected to the water outlet hole 702 to form a water supply structure, and the other is plugged into the housing 31, increasing the connection point between the tee 701 and the housing 31, and realizing the connection between the housing 31 and the water pump 34. The provision of the water outlet hole 702 reduces the length of the water outlet pipe body 703, making the waterway of the water supply structure regular, reducing bends, and improving the convenience of water supply.

[0048] In this embodiment, the control module 32 includes a decorative piece 301, an upper cover plate 302, a main control board 303 and a main board bracket 304 which are connected in sequence from top to bottom. A waterproof ring 305 is provided between the upper cover plate 302 and the main control board 303. A DC board 306 is provided between the main control board 303 and the main board bracket 304. A plurality of control keys electrically connected to the main control board 303 are provided on the upper cover plate 302. The main control board 303 is electrically connected to a sensing element 8 which is passed through the outer shell 31. The sensing end of the sensing element 8 is connected to the outside and faces the water receiving basin 2.

[0049] Based on the above design, the user inputs commands through the control key to control the operation of the pet drinking fountain. The decorative sheet 301 can be constructed in any suitable shape, including but not limited to a cat's paw shape, to improve the market competitiveness of the pet drinking fountain; further, the water receiving basin 2, the water filter basin 4 and the filter 5 can also be constructed in any suitable shape, including but not limited to a cat's paw shape.

[0050] Furthermore, the main control board 303 is electrically connected to a sensing element 8, which is used to sense the position of the pet. When the pet approaches the sensing end of the sensing element 8, it means that the pet is close to the pet drinking fountain, and the host 3 starts and supplies water, and the water receiving basin 2 is filled with water for the pet to drink. When the sensing element 8 does not sense the pet for a long time, the host 3 starts and supplies water to realize the circulation and purification of the water in the water receiving basin 2, and improve the water quality of the water supply; the host 3 can also supply water to make a sound to attract the pet to drink water. Based on this, the automatic work is realized through the sensing element 8, which improves the intelligence of the pet drinking fountain, reduces the user's operation, and is more convenient to use.

[0051] Optionally, the DC board 306 is a power board powered by a DC plug, and the control module 32 is powered by the DC board 306. It is easy to understand that the main control board 303 and the DC board 306 can be selected from any suitable commercially available models, and the mainboard bracket 304 can be constructed in any suitable shape. The sensing element 8 includes but is not limited to an infrared sensing sensor, and any other suitable commercially available sensor can also be selected.

[0052] In this embodiment, a water level window 102 for displaying the capacity of the water chamber 101 is provided on the side of the water storage basin 1, and a plurality of buffer pads 103 are provided on the bottom surface of the water storage basin 1. Based on the above design, the water level window 102 is provided to facilitate the user to check the water storage amount of the water storage basin 1 so as to add water in time. The buffer pad 103 not only plays a buffering role, but also increases friction, so that the pet water fountain can be placed more stably. The buffer pad 103 can be made of any suitable material.

[0053] In this embodiment, the water level window 102 is made of silica gel, and the water level window 102 is at least partially transparent. Based on the above design, there are many types of silica gel, and suitable types of silica gel can be selected according to different actual use scenarios, with a wide range of choices and more flexible use. In addition, the water level window 102 must have a transparent part to ensure that the user can check the water level in the water storage basin 1.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
