Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pet feeding equipment design, and in particular to a pet water feeder. Background Art
[0002] With the development of social economy and the transformation of society, pet keeping at home has become a way for some people to adjust their spiritual life. Pets such as cats and dogs have become an indispensable part of the lives of many pet owners.
[0003] Pet keeping often requires supplementing water for pets. However, in the actual process of pet keeping, frequently supplementing water for pets takes a lot of time and energy. And the pet owners will inevitably go to work, travel or go on a long journey, etc., objectively there will also be a situation where water cannot be supplemented in a timely manner.
[0004] To solve the above problems, now more water is often contained in an open container such as a water tray for pets to drink when they need water. However, a large amount of water stored in an open container for a long time is easily contaminated by the environment and deteriorates. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a pet water feeder, which can solve one or more of the above problems.
[0006] According to one aspect of the utility model, there is provided a pet water feeder, including a water outlet head, a water pump, a sensor, a drinking tray and a water tank.

Specific embodiments
[0023] The present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , a pet water feeder of the present utility model includes a water outlet head 1, a water pump 2, a sensor 3, a drinking tray 4 and a water tank 5.
[0025] An accommodating cavity 51 is provided in the water tank 5, and the accommodating cavity 51 can be used to hold water.
[0026] The drinking tray 4 includes a stainless steel layer 41 and a plastic layer 42. The stainless steel layer 41 is fixedly connected to the plastic layer 42 by fitting, so that the stainless steel layer 41 can be used as the top layer of the drinking tray 4, and the plastic layer 42 can be used as the bottom layer of the drinking tray 4.
[0027] A concave position 43 is provided on the top surface of the drinking tray 4, and a convex platform is provided in the concave position 43. A limiting hole 44 is provided in the middle of the convex platform, and the limiting hole 44 penetrates through the stainless steel layer 41 and the plastic layer 42.
[0028] The drinking tray 4 is fixedly clamped on the water tank 5, and the limiting hole 44 on the set drinking tray 4 is communicated with the accommodating cavity 51.
[0029] The water pump 2 can preferably be an electric water pump. The pump body of the water pump 2 is fixedly connected to the water tank 5 by bolts, and the water pump 5 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 51. After the drinking tray 4 is arranged, the water pump 2 can be hidden in the water tank 5.
[0030] The water outlet head 1 includes a pipe fitting 11 and a flow guiding member 12. The pipe fitting 11 is fixedly connected to the water outlet of the water pump 2 through a pipeline, and a water outlet hole 111 is provided in the middle of the pipe fitting 11. The water outlet hole 111 is communicated with the water pump 2. A water guiding channel 121 is provided on the flow guiding member 12. The flow guiding member 12 is fixedly sleeved on the pipe fitting 11, and the water guiding channel 121 is communicated with the water outlet hole 111, so that the water flowing out of the water outlet hole 111 can flow into the water guiding channel 121. The outlet of the water guiding channel 121 is located above the concave position 43, so that the water guided by the water guiding channel 121 can flow out from above the concave position 43 and then enter the concave position 43.
[0031] The pipe fitting 11 is arranged on the limiting hole 44, so that the water drinking tray 4 can effectively limit the position of the water outlet head 1, thereby improving the fixing reliability of the relative position between the water outlet head 1 and the water drinking tray 4.
[0032] Return water holes 45 are also arranged on the side wall of the concave position 43. There can be multiple return water holes 45. In this embodiment, the return water holes 45 are preferably two, and the return water holes 45 penetrate through the stainless steel layer 41 and the plastic layer 42. After the water drinking tray 4 is fixed on the water tank 5, the return water holes 45 can all communicate with the accommodating cavity 51.
[0033] The pet water dispenser of the present utility model further includes a filter sponge (not shown in the figure) and a storage box 6. The storage box 6 can be hung on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 51 to be connected with the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 51. The filter sponge is arranged in the storage box 6, and the filter sponge is arranged below the return water holes 45, so that the water flowing back from the return water holes 45 can pass through the filter sponge.
[0034] The inductor 3 is fixedly installed on the water tank 5 by bolts.
[0035] The pet water dispenser of the present utility model further includes a PCB (not shown in the figure). A groove 52 is arranged at the bottom of the water tank 5. The PCB can be installed in the groove 52, and the inductor 3 can be electrically connected to the PCB through a wire, and the PCB can be electrically connected to the motor of the water pump 2 through a wire, that is, the inductor 3 can be electrically connected to the water pump 2 through the PCB.
[0036] The pet water dispenser of the present utility model further includes a cover plate 7. The cover plate 7 is fixedly connected to the water tank 5 by bolts, and the cover plate 7 covers the groove 52, so that the cover plate 7 can hide and protect the PCB located in the groove 52.
[0037] A wire groove 53 is also arranged at the bottom of the water tank 5. One end of the wire groove 53 communicates with the groove 52. When the PCB is connected to an external power supply and other electrical devices through a wire, the wire can be embedded in the wire groove 53.
[0038] When the pet water feeder of the present utility model is in use, water can be placed in the accommodating cavity 51, and the PCB can be connected to an external power supply through a wire, so that the external power supply can supply power to the inductor 3 and the water pump 2.
[0039] Under normal conditions, the water pump 2 does not work, and the water is stored in the accommodating cavity 51 to prevent it from being contaminated by the outside world. When a pet approaches the present utility model to drink water, the sensor 3 can sense the approach of the pet and trigger the water pump 2 to work. The water pump 2 pumps water towards the water outlet head 1, so that water can flow out from the water outlet hole 111, and the water flowing out from the water outlet hole 111 can be guided through the water guide channel 121 and flow to the concave position 43. Then, there can be water in the concave position 43. At this time, the pet can drink water from the concave position 43. When the pet finishes drinking water, the pet will move away. At this time, the sensor 3 no longer senses that there is a pet nearby, and accordingly triggers the water pump 2 to stop working, and no water is output from the water outlet head 1 any more.
[0040] In addition, when the amount of water in the concave position 43 is relatively large and the water level reaches the position where the water return hole 45 is located, the excess water can flow back to the accommodating cavity 51 through the water return hole 45, and the returned water will flow through the filter sponge to filter the returned water, so as to prevent the returned water from carrying garbage and the like from flowing back into the water stored in the accommodating cavity 51.
[0041] The above are only some embodiments of the present utility model. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the creative concept of the present utility model, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.
