[0031] The implementation methods of the present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a pet drinking fountain comprises a water tank 100, the water tank 100 is used to store water for pets to drink, the top of the water tank 100 is covered with an upper cover 200, a drinking water tray 300 is installed on the top of the upper cover 200, a water pump 400 is arranged in the water tank 100, the water pump 400 is used to pump the water in the water tank 100 into the drinking water tray 300, and a control device 500 is arranged on the side of the water tank 100, the control device 500 is electrically connected to the water pump 400, and is used to drive the water pump 400 to start and stop and supply water to the water pump 400 provides electrical energy, the control device 500 includes a control unit 510 and a battery box 520, which are detachably connected to each other, the control unit 510 includes a control panel 511 and a control circuit board 512, an electrical plug 513 and an auxiliary battery 514 are connected to the control circuit board 512, and an electrical socket 521 is provided on the battery box 520. When the control unit 510 and the battery box 520 are connected, the electrical plug 513 is inserted into the electrical socket to achieve electrical connection, so that the battery box 520 and the control circuit board 512 are electrically connected. 2 and the auxiliary battery 514 are electrically connected, so that when the control unit 510 and the battery box 520 are connected, the battery box 520 can not only supply power to the control circuit board 512, but also continue to charge the auxiliary battery 514. When the battery box 520 needs to be charged or replaced, the auxiliary battery 514 can continue to supply power to the control circuit board 512, thereby continuing to ensure the operation of the control panel 511 and the water pump 400. Preferably, a sensor 530 is also installed on the control device 500. When the pet approaches the water dispenser, , the sensor 530 receives the trigger and energizes its control circuit board 512, thereby starting the water pump 400 to pump drinking water into the drinking tray 300 for the pet to drink. Secondly, preferably, retractable clips 522 are provided on both sides of the electrical socket 521, and a limiting groove 515 for the clip 522 to be inserted is provided on the inner wall of the control unit 510. When the battery box 520 is connected to the control unit 510, the clip 522 is inserted into the limiting groove 515, thereby further improving the stability of the connection between the battery box 520 and the control unit 510.

[0032] Combined with Figure 3-6The upper cover 200 is provided with a first water outlet 210, and the water tray 300 is provided with a second water outlet 310. A water passage cavity 320 extends along one side of the second water outlet 310. One side of the water passage cavity 320 is communicated with the second water outlet 310, and the other side covers the periphery of the first water outlet 210, so that a closed space is formed between the first water outlet 210 and the second water outlet 310. The first water outlet 210 is connected to the water pump 400 through the conduit 410. When the water pump 400 is started, the water in the water storage tank 100 is led out from the first water outlet 210 through the conduit 410, and then flows into the water tray 300 from the second water outlet 310 in one direction through the water passage cavity 320. The second water outlet 310 is covered with a rotating cover 600. When water flows out of the second water outlet 310, the rotating cover 600 is pushed to rotate, thereby driving the water tray 300 to rotate when water flows out. During the rotation, dirt in the center of the water tray 300, such as pet hair, dust, etc., can be pushed to the edge of the water tray 300, so that the water quality in the middle of the water tray 300 remains clean, preventing the pet from drinking dirt and affecting its body when drinking water.

[0033] Specifically, in the above embodiment, Figure 7 and 8 As shown, the rotating cover 600 includes a cover body 610 and a blocking member 620 extending downward from the cover body 610. The cover body 610 and the blocking member 620 are connected by a connecting rod 630. A vortex groove 611 is provided in the cover body 610. Under normal conditions, the blocking member 620 blocks the first water outlet 210. When the water pump 400 is started, the water in the water storage tank 100 is led out from the first water outlet 210 through the conduit 410, and the water pressure thereof pushes the blocking member 620 into the water outlet 210. 0 is lifted up, thereby driving the cover body 610 to rise. When water flows out from the second water outlet 310 through the water passage cavity 320, the water flow will fill the vortex groove 611 in the cover body 610. When the water flows along the vortex groove 611, it will drive the cover body 610 to rotate. When the cover body 610 rotates, the water flow is guided to rotate and spread around with the cover body 610 as the center, so as to push the dirt in the center of the water tray 300 to the edge of the water tray 300.

[0034] Furthermore, the middle of the water tray 300 is recessed inward, and the second water outlet 310 is arranged in the middle of the water tray 300 and is higher than the surface of the water tray 300, so that an annular groove 330 is formed around the second water outlet 310. When the rotating cover 600 covers the second water outlet 310, the vortex groove 611 is arranged in the annular groove 330, and the cover body 610 is closely attached to the second water outlet 310. In this way, when water flows out of the second water outlet 310 through the water passage cavity 320, the water will first flow into the cover body 611. 10 is pushed up, and then flows into the vortex groove 611 in the annular groove 330. Due to the height difference between the annular groove 330 and the second water outlet 310, the water flow will not flow back into the second water outlet 310, but will rotate with the cover body 610 through the vortex groove 611 to the maximum extent, thereby reducing the backflow of water and improving the rotation efficiency of the cover body 610. Furthermore, a baffle 612 is provided at the bottom of the vortex groove 611 to prevent the water flow from flowing out from the bottom of the vortex groove 611 and then flowing back through the second water outlet 310.

[0035] Further to the above embodiment, the blocking member 620 and the connecting rod 630 are movably connected, and at least one limiting ring 631 is provided on the connecting rod 630. The limiting ring 631 and the blocking member 620 are elastically connected, so that when the water pressure pushes the blocking member 620 and the connecting rod 630 upward, the cover body 610 is driven to rise. When the water pressure further increases, the blocking member 620 will be stuck on the limiting ring 631 to prevent the connecting rod 630 from falling off from the blocking member 620.

[0036] Preferably, a guide hole 311 is provided on the second water outlet 310 , and the connecting rod 630 passes through the guide hole 311 , thereby guiding and limiting the connecting rod 630 .

[0037] Further preferably, a groove 220 is provided on the upper cover 200 , and when the water tray 300 is installed on the upper cover 200 , the water passage cavity 320 is embedded in the groove 220 , which can further consolidate the sealing effect of the water passage cavity 320 .

[0038] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
