Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Pet owners usually use basins, bowls and other containers to give their pets water. However, these containers are often knocked over by pets, which is not only unhygienic but also very troublesome to clean up. In addition, pet owners may occasionally forget to give their pets water, resulting in the pets not being able to replenish water in time. Therefore, some pet drinking fountains have appeared on the market, which can basically solve the problem of pet drinking water.

[0003] Most pet drinking fountains on the market are recirculating water dispensers, typically consisting of a water tank, a water pump, a drinking tray, and a filter. The pump pumps water from the tank into the drinking tray. Once the water in the tray reaches the water level, it is filtered through the filter and returned to the tank, automatically circulating the water. While recirculating water dispensers provide automatic drinking water circulation for pets, some water will always remain in the tray, which can easily become contaminated and affect the pet's health. Although overflow from the drinking tray is filtered through the filter, the built-in filter element is simple and cannot guarantee water cleanliness. Furthermore, the pump in a recirculating water dispenser needs to run continuously, which is not only energy-efficient but also prone to aging and damage. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a pet drinking fountain which can automatically supply water and the water is not easily contaminated.

[0005] The technical solution of the utility model is to provide a pet drinking fountain with the following structure:

[0006] It includes a clean water tank and a sewage tank arranged on one side of the clean water tank; a drinking water tray is connected to a side wall of the clean water tank close to the sewage tank, and the drinking water tray is arranged downwardly from one end close to the clean water tank to the other end, and the free end of the drinking water tray is located above the sewage tank; a water supply component is provided in the clean water tank, and the water supply component is used to extract water in the clean water tank and transport it to the drinking water tray; a sensor is provided on the clean water tank above the drinking water tray, and the sensor is electrically connected to the water supply component.

[0007] After adopting the above structure, the pet drinking fountain of the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0008] When a pet approaches the water tray, a sensor detects its presence and transmits a signal to the water supply assembly, which then draws water from the clean water tank and delivers it to the water tray for the pet to drink. Because the water tray is tilted, the outflowing water does not accumulate in the tray but flows directly into the wastewater tank. This device only delivers water when the pet needs it, saving energy and protecting the environment while preventing contamination of the clean water tank. Unused water from the water tray flows directly into the wastewater tank, reducing the risk of water contamination.

[0009] Preferably, the water supply assembly includes a water pump, a water pipe and a controller; a water suction port is provided at the bottom of the clean water tank, a water outlet is provided above the drinking water tray, the water pump is arranged at the water suction port, one end of the water pipe is connected to the water pump, and the other end is connected to the water outlet; the controller is electrically connected to the sensor and the water pump, respectively, for receiving the signal transmitted by the sensor and controlling the switch of the water pump according to the received signal.

[0010] The sensor is an infrared sensor that can detect the approach of a pet and transmit a signal to the controller in real time. When the pet approaches, the controller controls the water pump to turn on according to the received signal, thereby supplying water to the drinking tray. When the pet moves away, the controller controls the water pump to turn off according to the received signal, thereby reducing water waste.

[0011] Preferably, the two side walls of the water tray are bent upward to form a bent portion, so that the water tray forms a flow channel, and the outflowing water does not flow out from the two sides of the water tray, but only flows out from the free end of the water tray, making it convenient for pets to drink water.

[0012] Preferably, the free end of the drinking water tray is arranged in an arc shape.

[0013] Preferably, the clean water tank has an opening at the top, connected to a raw water tank. The raw water tank has an inlet at the top, with an openable cover attached to the inlet. The raw water tank has a through hole at the bottom, connected to the clean water tank. A water purification filter is attached to the through hole, filtering the raw water in the raw water tank and delivering the filtered clean water to the clean water tank. After raw water is injected into the raw water tank through the inlet, it is filtered by the water purification filter before flowing into the clean water tank. This ensures that the water in the clean water tank is filtered, ensuring the health of your pet's drinking water.

[0014] Preferably, an electric heating assembly is provided at the bottom of the clean water tank to heat the clean water within the tank. This assembly maintains the clean water at a constant temperature, preventing pets from catching a cold. A temperature control probe is also provided within the tank, electrically connected to the controller, the controller, and the temperature control probe. The probe detects the temperature of the clean water in the tank in real time and transmits the detected signal to the controller, which then switches the electric heating assembly on and off based on the received signal, preventing the water from being overheated and potentially scalding the pet.

[0015] Preferably, the top of the sewage tank is openably connected to a sewage tray, and the inner bottom wall of the sewage tray is provided with a sewage outlet connected to the interior of the sewage tank. Providing a sewage tray with a larger opening on the top of the sewage tank can better receive sewage flowing from the drinking water tray, preventing sewage from splashing out and polluting the environment.

[0016] Preferably, the height of the bottom wall of the sewage tray gradually decreases from one end closest to the clean water tank to the other end, and the sewage outlet is located at the end away from the clean water tank. This arrangement can prevent sewage from accumulating in the sewage tray, allowing sewage to flow into the sewage tank in a timely manner, and preventing pets from accidentally drinking sewage from the sewage tray.

[0017] Preferably, a weighing unit is installed at the bottom of the sewage tank to monitor its weight. Since the pump delivers a fixed amount of water per trip, the total water supply can be calculated. By subtracting the added weight of the sewage tank, the pet's water intake can be calculated. This allows for determining whether the pet's daily water intake is normal, allowing for early detection and treatment of any abnormalities. Furthermore, the weighing unit can detect when the sewage tank is full, alerting the user to address any issues promptly. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

At the same time, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the names of the components, and there is no primary and secondary relationship, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown; the utility model discloses a pet drinking fountain: it includes a clean water tank 1 and a sewage tank 2 arranged on one side of the clean water tank 1; a drinking tray 3 is connected to a side wall of the clean water tank 1 close to the sewage tank 2, and the drinking tray 3 is arranged inclined downward from one end close to the clean water tank 1 to the other end, and the free end of the drinking tray 3 is located above the sewage tank 2.

[0028] A water supply assembly is provided in the clean water tank 1, which is used to extract water from the clean water tank 1 and transport it to the drinking water tray 3; a sensor 4 is provided on the clean water tank 1 above the drinking water tray 3, and the sensor 4 is electrically connected to the water supply assembly.

[0029] The water supply assembly includes a water pump 5, a water pipe 6 and a controller (not shown in the figure); a water suction port 11 is provided at the bottom of the clean water tank 1, and a water outlet 12 is provided at the top of the drinking water tray 3. The water pump 5 is arranged at the water suction port 11, and one end of the water pipe 6 is connected to the water pump 5, and the other end is connected to the water outlet 12; the controller is respectively connected to the sensor 4 and the water pump 5 with wires, and is used to receive the signal transmitted by the sensor 4 and control the switch of the water pump 5 according to the received signal.

[0030] Sensor 4 is an infrared sensor. When a pet approaches the water tray 3, sensor 4 detects the pet's presence and transmits a real-time signal to the controller. When the pet approaches, the controller activates pump 5 based on the received signal, thereby supplying water to the water tray 3. When the pet moves away, the controller deactivates pump 5 based on the received signal, thereby reducing water waste. This device supplies water only when the pet needs it, which is not only energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, but also prevents contamination of the water in the water tank 1 from circulating.

[0031] When the pet approaches to drink water, since the water tray 3 is arranged at an angle, the outflowing water will not accumulate in the water tray 3; the undrinkable water in the water tray 3 will directly flow into the sewage tank 2, reducing the risk of water pollution.

[0032] The two side walls of the water tray 3 are bent upward to form a bent portion 31, so that the water tray 3 forms a flow channel. The outflowing water will not flow out from the two sides of the water tray 3, but only from the free end of the water tray 3, making it convenient for pets to drink water.

[0033] The free end of the water tray 3 is arranged in an arc shape to prevent the pet from being hurt.

[0034] The top of clean water tank 1 has an opening connected to raw water tank 7. Raw water tank 7 also has a water inlet 71 at its top, with an openable cover 72 attached to it. The bottom of raw water tank 7 has a through-hole connected to clean water tank 1, connected to a water purification filter element 73. This filter element is used to filter the raw water in raw water tank 7 and deliver the filtered purified water to clean water tank 1. The filter element 73 is filled with filter particles, such as carbon particles, which is conventional technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] After the raw water is injected into the raw water tank 7 from the water inlet 71, it will be filtered by the water purification filter element 73, and the filtered water will flow into the clean water tank 1. This can ensure that the water in the clean water tank 1 is filtered, thereby ensuring the health of the pet's drinking water.

[0036] An electric heating assembly 13 (e.g., an electric heating wire or heating plate) is installed at the bottom of the clean water tank 1. This assembly is used to heat the clean water in the tank 1. This keeps the water in the tank 1 at a constant temperature, preventing pets from catching cold. A temperature control probe is also installed in the tank 1. The probe, the electric heating assembly 13, and a controller are electrically connected. The probe monitors the temperature of the clean water in the tank 1 in real time and transmits the detected signal to the controller. The controller then switches the electric heating assembly 13 on and off based on the received signal, preventing the water from overheating and potentially scalding the pet.

[0037] The top of the sewage tank 2 is open and is openably connected to a sewage tray 21. The bottom wall of the sewage tray 21 is provided with a sewage port 211 that communicates with the interior of the sewage tank 2. The larger opening of the sewage tray 21 at the top of the sewage tank 2 can better receive the sewage flowing from the drinking water tray 3, preventing sewage from splashing out and polluting the environment.

[0038] The height of the bottom wall of the sewage tray 21 gradually decreases from one end close to the clean water tank 1 to the other end, and the sewage outlet 211 is arranged at the end away from the clean water tank 1; this arrangement can prevent sewage from accumulating in the sewage tray 21, allowing sewage to flow into the sewage tank 2 in a timely manner, preventing pets from accidentally drinking sewage in the sewage tray 21.

[0039] A weighing unit 22 (pressure sensor) is installed at the bottom of the sewage tank 2. This unit is electrically connected to the controller and monitors the weight of the sewage tank 2. The amount of water supplied by the water pump 5 is fixed per trip, so the controller can calculate the total water supply. By subtracting the added weight of the sewage tank 2, the controller can calculate the pet's water intake. This allows the controller to determine whether the pet's daily water intake is normal. The results are transmitted to a mobile app via a signal transmitter, alerting the user to any abnormalities and prompting early detection and treatment. Furthermore, the weighing unit 22 can detect whether the sewage tank 2 is full, alerting the user to address the problem promptly.

[0040] The above is only a specific implementation method of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to this. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
