Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet supplies technology, and in particular to a pet water dispenser. Background Art

[0002] With societal development, people are not only enjoying material comforts but also constantly pursuing spiritual enrichment, leading to a growing number of people keeping various pets. During pet ownership, it's essential to regularly change the pet's drinking water to prevent contamination and disease. However, when pet owners are at work, out of town, or traveling, they are often unable to change the water promptly, causing inconvenience. Therefore, pet water fountains have emerged on the market, providing circulating drinking water and preventing stagnant water from forming.

[0003] A pet water fountain is a mechanical device with an active water replenishment function. It uses an internal water pump to draw water from the storage tank into the drinking trough, thus replenishing the water supply. Excess water flows back to the storage tank through a return outlet, maintaining a stable water level in the drinking trough. However, most pet water fountains on the market currently lack a transparent viewing window, making it impossible to observe the water level in the storage tank. Some pet water fountains have a transparent viewing window on the storage tank, allowing users to observe the water level, but this increases manufacturing complexity and costs, and also makes the storage tank more prone to leakage. Furthermore, in pet water fountains with detachable drinking caps, the mounting hole is often smaller than the water pump size, preventing the pump from passing directly through. Therefore, during installation, the pumping component must be installed on the drinking cap first, and then the cap is installed on the storage tank, adding inconvenience to the installation process. At the same time, most pet water fountains on the market do not have graded filtration, filtering impurities such as hair and food residue along with microorganisms such as bacteria, resulting in a short lifespan for the filter components.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a pet water dispenser that can effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a pet water fountain with a transparent observation window on the drinking lid. This allows users to observe the water level in the storage tank while preventing leaks. The size of the mounting hole matches the size of the water pump, allowing the pump to pass directly through. Therefore, installation is convenient as it eliminates the need to first install the pumping assembly on the drinking lid and then attach the lid to the storage tank. Furthermore, the filtration system is tiered, separating hair, food residue, and bacteria from the filtration components, extending their lifespan and further enhancing the user experience.

[0039] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 To the attached Figure 8 This application will be described in further detail.

[0040] Example 1

[0041] This application discloses a pet water fountain, comprising:

[0042] A water pumping assembly 100, which includes a water pump 110 and a water outlet 120;

[0043] A water storage tank 200, the water storage tank 200 including a water storage space 210 and an opening 220 communicating with the water storage space 210;

[0044] A drinking cap 300 is detachably connected to the opening 220. The drinking cap 300 is provided with a transparent observation window 310, a mounting hole 320, a drinking trough 330, and a return port 340. The transparent observation window 310 is used to observe the water level in the water storage space 210, and the mounting hole 320 is used to install the water pumping assembly 100.

[0045] With the above-described structure, when in use, the water pump 110 generates power after being powered on, drawing water from the water storage space 210 within the water tank 200, thus providing a flowing water source for the pet water fountain. The water tap 120 delivers the water drawn by the water pump 110 to the drinking trough 330 on the drinking cap 300, allowing the pet to drink comfortably. The water storage space 210 is the water source reserve area for the entire pet water fountain, and its capacity determines the duration for which the pet water fountain can continuously provide drinking water for the pet. The opening 220 mainly serves to connect other components and facilitate water addition. The drinking trough 330 is the area where the pet directly contacts and drinks the flowing water from the water fountain; its shape and size are designed according to the pet's physiological characteristics and drinking habits. The drinking trough 330 is optimized differently for different types of pets. For example, for pets like cats that lick water, the edges of the water trough 330 can be designed to be thin and smooth, making it easier for the cat's tongue to contact the water surface. For pets like dogs that drink large gulps of water, the water trough 330 can be designed to be wider to meet the dog's need for quick and large drinking. Furthermore, the depth of the water trough 330 also needs to be considered; too shallow and water may easily overflow, too deep and it may be inconvenient for small pets to drink. The transparent observation window 310 allows the user to directly see the water level in the water storage space 210 of the water tank 200. Because the transparent observation window 310 is located on the drinking cap, the user can observe the water level in the water storage space 210 of the water tank 200 while preventing leakage problems.

[0046] In this embodiment, the return outlet 340 is positioned higher than the bottom of the water trough 330. With this structural arrangement, during use, because the return outlet 340 is higher than the bottom of the water trough 330, water will not immediately flow back into the water storage space 210 upon entering the water trough 330. Instead, it will only flow back into the water storage space 210 after reaching the location of the return outlet 340. This ensures that the water level in the water trough 330 is suitable for the pet's drinking, and also prevents the water level in the water trough 330 from overflowing due to the continuous flow of water from the faucet 120.

[0047] In this embodiment, the transparent observation window 310 is disposed at the return port 340. With the above-described structure, during use, because the transparent observation window 310 is disposed at the return port 340, ripples are generated on the water surface below the return port 340 as the returning water falls, making it easier and more accurate to determine the position of the transparent water surface.

[0048] In this embodiment, the transparent observation window 310 is tilted. With this structural design, the tilted transparent observation window 310 provides a wider viewing angle, making it easier and more accurate to determine the position of the transparent water surface.

[0049] This embodiment also includes a dual filtration assembly 400, which is disposed at the return port 340. The dual filtration assembly 400 includes a first filter assembly 410 and a second filter assembly 420, with the first filter assembly 410 positioned above the second filter assembly 420. Through this structure, during use, the first filter assembly 410 is positioned at the top for staged filtration, intercepting and filtering pet hair, food scraps, dust, and other impurities. The first filter assembly 410 effectively blocks these larger particles, preventing them from entering the lower filtration structure or the water tank 200. The first filter assembly 410 also protects the second filter assembly 420. Because the first filter assembly 410 performs preliminary filtration of the return water, it reduces the impact and clogging of the second filter assembly 420 by large particles. Without the first filter assembly 410, a large number of large particles would directly enter the second filter assembly 420, rapidly reducing its filtration efficiency and shortening its lifespan. The second filter assembly 420 is located below the first filter assembly 410 and is mainly used to filter out tiny impurities. Even after the water has undergone preliminary filtration by the first filter assembly 410, it may still contain some small impurities, such as bacteria and tiny fiber particles. The second filter assembly 420 can effectively filter these tiny impurities, further improving the quality of the water returning to the water storage tank 200. Compared to a single filtration structure, this dual filtration method can more effectively remove various impurities, ensuring the cleanliness of the water in the water storage tank 200.

[0050] In this embodiment, the first filter assembly 410 includes a first filter screen 411, a first filter frame 412, and a gripping part 413. The gripping part 413 is connected to the first filter frame 412, and the first filter screen 411 is disposed at the bottom of the first filter frame 412. With this structure, during use, the first filter screen 411 is positioned at the bottom of the first filter frame 412 to filter larger particles of impurities in the water returning from the drinking water tank 330, ensuring initial water purification. The first filter frame 412 supports the first filter screen 411, providing a stable frame structure to ensure that the first filter screen 411 does not deform due to water flow impact or impurity accumulation during filtration. The gripping part 413 is connected to the first filter frame 412, and its main function is to facilitate user disassembly and cleaning of the first filter assembly 410. After a period of use, the first filter screen 411 will accumulate a lot of impurities and needs to be cleaned regularly to ensure filtration effectiveness. The gripper 413 provides a convenient gripping position for the user, allowing the user to easily remove the first filter assembly 410 from the return port 340. Besides cleaning, the gripper 413 also facilitates the user's inspection of the first filter assembly 410. Using the gripper 413, the user can easily remove the first filter assembly 410 from the water dispenser for careful inspection and maintenance, ensuring the normal operation of the filter assembly.

[0051] In this embodiment, the second filter assembly 420 includes a second filter screen 421, a second filter frame 422, and a filter element 423. The filter element 423 is disposed on the second filter screen 421, and the second filter screen 421 is disposed at the bottom of the second filter frame 422. With this structure, during use, the second filter screen 421 provides a supporting plane for the filter element 423, allowing the filter element 423 to be stably placed on it. This ensures that the filter element 423 remains in a fixed position during filtration and will not shift due to water flow or other factors. The second filter frame 422 provides a stable frame structure for the second filter screen 421 and the filter element 423. The filter element 423 can employ various filtration materials and technologies, such as filter cotton, activated carbon, and ultrafiltration membranes. The filter element 423 can deeply purify various potentially harmful substances in the water, reducing the risk of pets getting sick from drinking unclean water.

[0052] In this embodiment, the size of the water pump 110 matches the size of the mounting hole 320, allowing the water pump 110 to pass through the mounting hole 320. With this structural design, during use, because the size of the mounting hole 320 matches the size of the water pump 110, the water pump 110 can directly pass through the mounting hole 320. Therefore, during installation, it is not necessary to first install the water pumping assembly 100 onto the drinking cap 300 and then install the drinking cap 300 onto the water storage tank 200, thus simplifying the installation process.

[0053] In this embodiment, the faucet 120 is a curved faucet. With this structure, the curved shape of the faucet helps to buffer the speed and direction of the water flow during use. It allows water to flow into the drinking trough more smoothly, avoiding splashing caused by direct vertical impact.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] In this embodiment, the faucet 120 is a recessed faucet. With this structure, the recessed faucet design concentrates the water flow into a specific area during use. Compared to ordinary faucets, its recessed structure guides the water flow along a fixed path, directly and accurately delivering water to a specific location in the drinking trough. Simultaneously, because the water flow is concentrated in one area, the possibility of water splashing outwards is reduced.

[0056] The above description provides one or more embodiments in conjunction with specific content, and does not imply that the specific implementation of this utility model is limited to these descriptions. Any methods or structures that are similar to or identical to those of this utility model, or any technical deductions or substitutions made based on the concept of this utility model, should be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
