[0002] A pet drinking tube is a tube for the water outlet of a pet water dispenser. Patent Publication No. CN 206437393 U discloses a reinforced pet water dispenser bottle cap, in which a sealing ring is arranged at the mouth of the water outlet pipe, and a steel ball is arranged in the water outlet pipe, and the steel ball is matched with the sealing ring. When a pet drinks water, it licks the steel ball with its tongue, and the steel ball disengages from the sealing ring at the mouth of the sealing pipe, and water flows out from the mouth of the water outlet pipe, and the pet gets water. However, on the one hand, when raising rodents such as hamsters, rodents have the habit of grinding their teeth. During the drinking process, they will bite the sealing ring with their teeth, which easily causes the sealing ring to break and leads to water leakage from the water outlet pipe. On the other hand, small animals such as rabbits have the habit of playing with water and like to push the water outlet steel ball with their mouths or noses. There is no water control structure in the traditional drinking tube, which causes a large amount of water to be lost and wasted, and also wets the pet cage and the ground, causing environmental pollution, and the water dispenser fails to play its corresponding role. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the defects of the existing technology and provide a water control and sealing structure of a pet drinking tube with a water control and sealing structure, which can both control the water output and have a sealed contact, without a sealing ring and is not afraid of being bitten.

[0021] The present utility model will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation cases. The following implementation cases will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present utility model, but do not limit the present utility model in any form.

[0022] As Figure 1 — Figure 5 shown, the present utility model relates to a water control and sealing structure for a pet drinking tube, including a drinking tube body 1, an outlet head 2 is provided on the drinking tube body 1, an outlet 3 is provided in the outlet head 2, and a water outlet steel ball 4 is provided in the water outlet. A water control and sealing structure is provided between the outlet head 2 and the drinking tube body 1. In an actual product, the upper end of the drinking tube body 1 is connected to a bottle mouth connecting seat 01, and the bottle mouth connecting seat 01 is connected to the bottle mouth of a drinking bottle 02. When in use, a pet licks the water outlet steel ball 4 with its tongue. After the water outlet steel ball is stressed, it moves upward to open the outlet 3 and contacts the water control and sealing structure, opening the water control and sealing structure. The water in the drinking bottle 02 flows out from the outlet 3 through the water control and sealing structure, and the pet can drink the water. This solution realizes the control of the water flow by setting a water control and sealing structure between the outlet head 2 and the drinking tube body 1, and can be suitable for pets of different sizes and body types, with a wide range of uses. The water control and sealing structure can not only control the water flow, but also has a self-sealing structure, without the need to separately install a sealing ring, with good sealing effect, and is not afraid of being bitten by pets, and there will be no water leakage accident; at the same time, even if a pet accidentally touches the water outlet steel ball, the water will not flow out or flow out in large quantities, which is beneficial for the pet owner to use the water dispenser reasonably.

[0023] Embodiment 1: The water control and sealing structure includes a water control joint 5. One end of the water control joint 5 is connected to the drinking tube body 1, and the other end of the water control joint 5 is connected to the outlet head 2. A water control sleeve 6 is provided in the water control joint 5, a water control retaining ring 7 is provided in the water control sleeve, a water control steel ball 8 is provided on the water control retaining ring 7, and a limiting structure is also provided on the water control joint 5, and the limiting structure is correspondingly matched with the water outlet steel ball 4. In an actual product, the shape of the water control retaining ring is designed according to the arc surface of the water control steel ball. The water control steel ball is arranged on the water control retaining ring and fits together to form a surface contact seal, with good sealing effect. When a pet drinks water, the water outlet steel ball 4 moves upward under stress, contacts the water control steel ball 8, and moves the water control steel ball 8 away from the water control retaining ring 7. The water in the drinking bottle 02 flows out from the water control joint 5 and then flows into the pet's mouth through the outlet 3. At the same time, there is a limiting structure that can limit the upward movement position of the water outlet steel ball 4, thereby limiting the upward movement position of the water control steel ball and realizing the control of the water flow rate.

[0024] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes an internal constriction 9 provided on the water control joint 5. The diameter Φ1 of the internal constriction 9 is smaller than the diameter Φ2 of the water outlet steel ball 4. Since the diameter of the internal constriction is smaller than the diameter of the water outlet steel ball, the water outlet steel ball cannot completely enter the water control joint, realizing the limit.

[0025] Further, the water control joint 5 is connected to the drinking water pipe body 1 and the water outlet head 2 through threads 10. Threaded connection is convenient and reliable.

[0026] Further, a first seal 11 is provided between the water control joint 5 and the drinking water pipe body 1, and a second seal 12 is provided between the water control joint 5 and the water outlet head 2. With the first seal and the second seal, the sealing effect is better.

[0027] Further, the first seal 11 and the second seal 12 are sealing rings or sealing tapes. The sealing ring can be provided between the water control joint and the drinking water pipe body and the water outlet head, and the sealing tape can be wound around the thread, and the sealing effect is very good.

[0028] Further, gravity steel balls 13 are provided in the drinking water pipe body 1. There are 1 - 3 gravity steel balls, and the first gravity steel ball is in contact with the water control steel ball 8. Since there is water in the drinking water pipe body, the water control steel ball is prone to floating under the action of water buoyancy. Therefore, gravity steel balls are provided on the water control steel ball. When not in use, the water control steel ball is pressed to make the water control steel ball in sealing contact with the water control retaining ring. When drinking water, the water control steel ball can be easily pushed open and water flows out.

[0029] Further, the water control joint 5 is made of metal material, and the water control sleeve 6 is made of rubber material. An inner embedding groove 15 is provided in the water control joint 5, and the water control sleeve 6 is embedded in the inner embedding groove 15. The water control joint is generally made of steel, with good strength, and the water control sleeve is generally made of rubber (such as silica gel, etc.) material, with good elasticity.

[0030] Further, the drinking water pipe body 1 is a straight pipe or a bent pipe, which can be adapted to different types of water dispensers for use.

[0031] Further, the outer diameter Φ3 of the drinking water pipe body 1 is 6 - 25 mm, and the best values are 10 mm, 12.7 mm or 16 mm. The outer diameter size of the drinking water pipe body can be set according to the water intake of the pet. The larger the outer diameter of the water intake pipe body, the greater the water output. However, generally, drinking water pipes with outer diameters of 10 mm, 12.7 mm or 16 mm can meet the drinking requirements of most pets.

[0032] The above specific embodiments are used to explain and illustrate the present invention, rather than to limit the present invention. Any modifications and changes made within the spirit and scope of the protection of the present invention fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
