Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pet supplies, in particular to a pet drinking fountain. Background Art

[0002] The water bucket of a pet water dispenser is usually made of opaque material, so users cannot directly see the water level. In the prior art, some use holes in the water bucket and inlay transparent plastic materials in the holes. The inlay process prevents water leakage, and the plastic material can become a water level observation window. The advantage is that it is intuitive, but the disadvantage is that the process is complicated and requires close observation, which damages the appearance and affects the water quality. Others use electronic water level sensors, which have the advantages of good process integrity, simple assembly, and relatively accurate water level detection. The disadvantages are that it is not intuitive, requires the development of software and hardware, has a slightly higher cost, and has the quality risk of electronic failure. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solution of the present invention is further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments, and the following embodiments do not limit the utility model involved in the claims. In addition, all combinations of the features described in the embodiments are not necessarily required for the solution of the utility model.

[0023] The principle and structure of the present utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Example

[0025] A pet water dispenser is a device that provides a readily available source of clean water for pets, and is particularly suitable for small animals such as dogs and cats. The water bucket portion of a pet water dispenser is usually made of opaque material, so the user cannot visually see the water level. In the prior art, some methods use holes in the water bucket and inlay transparent plastic material in the holes. The inlay process prevents water leakage, and the plastic material can become a water level observation window. The advantage is that it is intuitive, but the disadvantage is that the process is complicated, and it requires close observation, which damages the appearance and affects the water quality. Others use electronic water level sensors, which have the advantages of good process integrity, simple assembly, and relatively accurate water level detection. The disadvantages are that it is not intuitive, requires the development of software and hardware, and has a slightly higher cost, and there is a quality risk of electronic failure.

[0026] For this reason, Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a pet water dispenser with a simple structure and easy to check the water level height is proposed, the pet water dispenser includes a bucket 1 for holding water, the upper end of the bucket 1 is provided with a guide hole 31 in the up and down directions, a cylindrical float is slidably fitted in the guide hole 31, the lower end of the float is located in the water in the bucket 1, so that the float rises and falls with the rise and fall of the water surface in the bucket 1, the guide hole 31 is connected to a transparent cavity protruding upward, the upper end of the float moves up and down in the cavity, the height of the water level can be judged by the height of the float observed through the transparent cavity, the upper end of the float has a color identification portion, for example, the upper end of the float has a striking color or glows, so as to facilitate the observation of the height change of the float.

[0027] The transparent cavity is an upwardly protruding cap 2 detachably connected to the guide hole 31, which facilitates the installation of the buoy, fixes and protects the buoy, allows the buoy to move in a relatively closed cavity, keeps the buoy clean, and thus ensures the hygiene of the water body.

[0028] The guide hole 31 is provided on the bucket cover 3 of the water bucket 1, and a concave groove 32 is provided on the bucket cover 3. The guide hole 31 is located at the bottom of the groove 32, and the lower end of the cap 2 is inserted and fixed in the groove 32, so that the upper end of the buoy moves up and down in the cavity formed by the cap 2 and the groove 32. The guide hole has a length extending downward at the bottom of the groove 32, so that the guide hole has a better guiding effect on the movement of the buoy.

[0029] The barrel cover 3 is provided with a water tray 4 , and the water tray 4 is provided with a through hole for the cap 2 to pass through, which does not affect the use of the water tray 4 .

[0030] The water bucket 1 and the water tray 4 are made of stainless steel. The main body of the buoy is a cylindrical tube 5, and the two ends of the cylindrical tube 5 are sealed by an upper cover 6 and a lower cover 7. The diameter of the upper cover 6 is larger than the diameter of the guide hole 31 to prevent it from slipping out of the guide hole 31. The upper cover 6 and the lower cover 7 are snapped on the ends of the cylindrical tube 5, which is easy to install. The upper cover 6 has the same structure as the lower cover 7, that is, the buoy itself is composed of three parts: a thin-walled circular tube, an upper cover 6 and a lower cover 7. After these three parts are assembled, it becomes a columnar buoy. The cavity in the thin-walled circular tube gives the buoy buoyancy.

[0031] The diameter of the cylindrical tube is not less than 3 cm, so that the user can easily observe the height of the float and judge the remaining water volume even at a distance greater than 10 meters.

[0032] The specific embodiments described herein are merely examples of the spirit of the present invention. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or additions to the specific embodiments described, or replace them in similar ways, without departing from the spirit of the present invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0033] Those skilled in the art should understand that all directional references (for example, above, below, upward, up, downward, down, top, bottom, left, right, vertical, horizontal, etc.) are used descriptively in the drawings to facilitate the reader's understanding, and do not represent limitations (for example, on position, orientation or use, etc.) on the scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims. They are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. The directional words "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself.

[0034] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.
