[0002] With the improvement of material life, the change of traditional family structure and the increase of work pressure, more and more people like to keep animals. Nowadays, many people keep their pets in pet boxes and place drinking water devices in the pet boxes.

[0003] Authorization announcement No. CN219421867U discloses a pet drinking fountain with an easy-to-disassemble humidifier head, which specifically discloses a water storage basin with a water trough and a water supply mechanism and an atomizing humidifier respectively connected to the water trough; the atomizing humidifier includes a main body and a humidifier head; the main body includes a main body shell connected to the shell of the water storage basin and a first circuit board arranged in the main body shell; a first magnet and a through hole are provided on the main body shell; the humidifier head includes a head shell, an atomizing sheet arranged at the humidification port of the head shell and electrically connected to the first circuit board, and a water-absorbing cotton core detachably mounted on the head shell; the upper end of the water-absorbing cotton core is connected to the atomizing sheet, and the lower end passes through the through hole and extends into the water trough; a second magnet is provided on the humidifier head for cooperating with the first magnet for magnetic attraction, so that the humidifier head can be positioned on the main body.

[0004] Although the pet water dispenser with an easy-to-detach and assemble humidifier head disclosed above has some advantages, there is still room for improvement. For example, in actual use, after the absorbent cotton core absorbs water, the head at its upper end becomes heavier, causing the head to bend or droop downward due to the action of gravity, thereby causing the upper end of the absorbent cotton core to separate from the atomizing plate. After the absorbent cotton core is separated from the atomizing plate, the atomizing efficiency will be reduced due to the atomizing plate being unable to receive water normally.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need to improve the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0028] The following describes in detail the specific implementation methods according to the present disclosure in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, an improved pet drinking fountain includes a water storage basin 2 provided with a drinking trough 1 and a water supply mechanism 3 and an atomizing humidifier 4 respectively connected to the drinking trough 1; the atomizing humidifier 4 includes a main body 41 and a humidifying head 42 that can be positioned on the main body 41.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, preferably, the main body 41 includes a main body shell 411 connected to the shell of the water storage basin 2 and a first circuit board 412 arranged in the main body shell 411; a through hole 413 is provided on the main body shell 411 running through the upper and lower parts; the humidifying head 42 includes a head shell 421, an atomizing sheet 423 arranged at the humidifying port 422 of the head shell 421 and electrically connected to the first circuit board 412, and a water-absorbing cotton core 424 detachably mounted on the head shell 421; the upper end of the water-absorbing cotton core 424 is connected to the atomizing sheet 423, and the lower end extends into the drinking trough 1 through the through hole 413 and is connected to the elastic member 43 installed in the drinking trough 1, so that the elastic member 43 can be used to make the water-absorbing cotton core 424 maintain a tendency to move upward.

[0031] Therefore, the present invention provides an elastic member 43 at the lower end of the absorbent cotton core 424, so that the absorbent cotton core 424 will maintain a tendency to move upward regardless of whether it absorbs water, thereby ensuring that the head of the absorbent cotton core 424 will not be separated from the atomizing sheet 423, that is, the upper end of the absorbent cotton core 424 can remain connected to the bottom of the atomizing sheet 423, thereby ensuring the atomization effect of the atomizing sheet 423.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, preferably, the elastic member 43 is a conical compression spring with a structure that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom. Therefore, by configuring the elastic member 43 as a conical compression spring, the spring can be more stable during the compression process, reducing the risk of lateral displacement of the absorbent cotton core 424. Moreover, the spring stiffness can change with the degree of compression, providing a more gradual and gentle response.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the specific positioning method of the elastic member 43 can be: the elastic member 43 is connected to the bottom surface of the drinking trough 1 via a locking bolt 44; the rod of the locking bolt 44 is connected to the bottom surface of the drinking trough 1, and the head presses the lower end of the elastic member 43. Therefore, the locking bolt 44 can be used to quickly and conveniently position the elastic member 43, and the locking bolt 44 is also very convenient to install and remove.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, preferably, a first magnet 45 is provided on the main body shell 411; and a second magnet 425 is provided on the humidifier head 42 for cooperating with the first magnet 45 for magnetic attraction, so that the humidifier head 42 can be positioned on the main body 41. The structure of using the first magnet 45 and the second magnet 425 to magnetically fix the main body 41 and the humidifier head 42 makes it very easy to disassemble and assemble the humidifier head 42, thereby also facilitating the replacement and maintenance of parts.

[0035] like Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, preferably, a groove 415 is provided on the top of the main body shell 411 to match the head shell 421, and the through hole 413 is located in the groove 415; the first magnet 45 is provided on the bottom surface of the groove 415; the head shell 421 can be correspondingly embedded in the groove 415, and the first magnet 45 and the second magnet 425 are magnetically fixed. The provision of the groove 415 for embedding the head shell 421 can help enhance the stability of the humidifier head 42 after installation and also facilitate the positioning of the humidifier head 42 during installation.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, preferably, the first magnet 45 is provided with two symmetrically distributed pieces, and the second magnet 425 is also provided with two pieces accordingly, thereby also being able to enhance the stability between the humidifier head 42 and the main body 41 and prevent the humidifier head 42 from being easily detached after installation.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the second magnet 425 is arranged inside the humidifier head 42. Of course, those skilled in the art should know that the second magnet 425 can also be arranged in other places of the humidifier head 42, such as on the bottom surface of the humidifier head 42.

[0038] like Figure 5As shown, preferably, a second circuit board (not shown) electrically connected to the atomizing sheet 423 is further provided in the humidifying head 42; a first connector 414 and a second connector 426 that cooperate with each other are respectively provided on the first circuit board 412 and the second circuit board; when the humidifying head 42 is positioned on the main body 41, the first connector 414 contacts the second connector 426 to electrically connect the atomizing sheet 423 to the first circuit board 412. By providing the above-mentioned first connector 414 and second connector 426, the atomizing sheet 423 can be conveniently electrically connected to the first circuit board 412 through the cooperation between the second circuit board and the first circuit board 412.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, preferably, a mounting hole 427 is provided at the bottom of the head shell 421 and passes through the atomizing piece 423. The absorbent cotton core 424 is detachably installed in the mounting hole 427, so that the absorbent cotton core 424 can be easily installed. After the absorbent cotton core 424 is installed, its upper end can be directly connected to the atomizing piece 423.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, preferably, one side of the through hole 413 penetrates to a side wall of the main body shell 411 and forms an opening 416 to facilitate water to enter the atomizing humidifier 4 for absorption by the absorbent cotton core 424.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the water supply mechanism 3 includes a water bottle 31; the bottle mouth of the water bottle 31 is installed on a base 33 of the water trough 1 through a bottle cap 32, and the base 33 can cooperate with the bottle cap 32 to enable the water bottle 31 to automatically discharge water using the bottle cap 32. The coordination between the base 33 and the bottle cap 32 enables the water storage bottle 31 to discharge water. This is a prior art technique, for example, it can adopt the base and bottle cap structure of a novel pet drinking fountain disclosed in Application Publication No. CN110338088A. In this structure, a pin is provided within the base, and the bottle cap is placed within the base. The lower end surface of the bottle cap is provided with an outer cylinder, within which an inner cylinder is connected to the lower end surface of the bottle cap. The inner cylinder sidewalls and the outer cylinder sidewalls are respectively provided with an inner cylinder outlet and an outer cylinder outlet. A water outlet hole is provided in the center of the bottle cap, and a push rod extends through the water outlet hole within the inner cylinder. The bottle cap is provided with a sealing cap connected to the upper end of the push rod. The lower end of the push rod is provided with a top plate located within the inner cylinder. A spring is provided between the top plate and the bottle cap, which is sleeved on the push rod. Therefore, this structure allows the water storage bottle 31 to automatically discharge water when the water level in the water trough 1 does not reach a preset height, thereby replenishing the water in the water trough 1 and providing convenient drinking for the pet.

[0042] Of course, a power connector is also connected to the first circuit board 412 for external power supply.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the drinking trough 1 includes an outer trough 101 and an inner trough 102 which are connected to each other, wherein the humidifying head 42 and the base 33 are both arranged on the inner trough 102, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, a cover plate (not shown) connected to the water storage tray 2 is provided on the inner tank 102 to cover the inner tank 102; the water on the outer tank 101 can be used for direct drinking by pets.

[0044] The specific operating principle of the utility model is introduced below to facilitate understanding of the utility model:

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, when in use, the water storage bottle 31 is filled with water and the bottle cap 32 is screwed on, and then it is inverted on the base 33. In this way, the water storage bottle 31 can be used to discharge water through the bottle cap 32 through the ejector pin, and the discharged water flows out into the drinking trough 1. Part of the water flows into the outer tank 101, and the other part of the water enters the atomizing humidifier 4 through the opening 416 and is absorbed by the absorbent cotton core 424. The elastic member 43 continuously pushes the absorbent cotton core 424 upward to keep it moving upward. The water absorbed by the absorbent cotton core 424 is then transported to the atomizing sheet 423 to be atomized, and finally forms mist and is discharged from the humidifying port 422.

[0046] In addition, when the entire humidifier head 42 needs to be replaced, the entire humidifier head 42 is directly pulled out upward to separate the first magnet 45 from the second magnet 425, and then the entire humidifier head 42 can be replaced. Of course, the absorbent cotton core 424 can also be removed separately for cleaning or replacement, etc. Then, the absorbent cotton core 424 on the replaced humidifier head 42 is inserted into the through hole 413, and the head shell 421 is embedded in the groove 415, so that the first magnet 45 and the second magnet 425 are magnetically fixed, thereby positioning the humidifier head 42. At the same time, the first connector 414 and the second connector 426 are also in contact and connected, thereby making the first circuit board 412 and the atomizing sheet 423 conductive, making it easy for the atomizing sheet 423 to work. Therefore, the humidifier head 42 can be disassembled and replaced separately, which means that if a component inside it is damaged, there is no need to replace the entire atomizing humidifier 4, which greatly facilitates use and reduces replacement costs. Of course, the absorbent cotton core 424 can also be replaced separately.

[0047] The scope of the present disclosure is not limited by the above-described embodiments but by the appended claims and their equivalents.
