Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet supplies technology, specifically to a pet water dispenser that is easy to assemble and disassemble. Background Technology
[0002] Pet water fountains are a common type of pet hydration device. They work by using a pump to draw water from a clean water tank and provide it to the pet through a continuous flow in a drinking dish. A water circulation system and filtration device maintain the freshness of the water source and conserve water. While these pet water fountains allow pets to drink automatically, some water always remains in the drinking dish, making it susceptible to contamination and potentially affecting the pet's health. Although water overflowing from the drinking dish is filtered, the built-in filter cartridges are simple and cannot guarantee the cleanliness of the water source. Furthermore, the water pump needs to run continuously for extended periods, which is not only inefficient but also prone to aging and damage.
[0003] Some pet water fountains have sensors near the water bowl and a wastewater tank next to the clean water tank. Wastewater from the water bowl goes into the wastewater tank, ensuring a clean and hygienic water source. The sensors can detect when a pet approaches and control the water pump, saving water and extending its lifespan. These pet water fountains also have a weighing device at the bottom of the wastewater tank to monitor its weight. For ease of transport, the clean water tank, wastewater tank, and weighing device are separate and require user assembly. Assembly involves connecting the clean water tank, wastewater tank, and weighing device, as well as connecting the circuitry of the clean water tank and weighing device. This can be tricky for novice users, as the wiring can easily lead to errors. Utility Model Content

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown; this utility model discloses a pet water dispenser that is easy to assemble and disassemble: including a clean water tank 1 and a waste water tank 2; a drinking tray 11 is connected to one side wall of the clean water tank 1, and a water supply component 12 is provided inside the clean water tank 1. The water supply component 12 is used to draw water from the clean water tank 1 and deliver it to the drinking tray 11. The waste water tank 2 is located on one side of the clean water tank 1 and below the drinking tray 11; the top of the waste water tank 2 has a waste water outlet for the waste water flowing down from the drinking tray 11 to flow into the waste water tank 2.
[0024] A weighing base 3 is connected to the bottom of the wastewater tank 2, and a weighing unit 31 is installed on the weighing base 3 for weighing the wastewater tank 2. The water supply component 12 supplies a fixed amount of water at a time, so the total water supply can be calculated. Subtracting the added weight of the wastewater tank 2 allows for the calculation of the pet's water consumption, thus determining whether the pet's daily water intake is normal. The detection results are transmitted to a mobile application via a signal transmitter inside the pet water dispenser. If any abnormality is detected, the user can be alerted for early detection and treatment. In addition, the weighing unit 31 can also detect whether the wastewater tank 2 is full, reminding the user to empty it in time.
[0025] The weighing base 3 has a plug-in part 32 on one side wall facing the water tank 1. The water tank 1 has a plug-in groove 13 at the position corresponding to the plug-in part 32. The plug-in part 32 is detachably plugged into the plug-in groove 13. The plug-in part 32 has a first terminal 321 that is electrically connected to the weighing unit 31. The plug-in groove 13 has a second terminal 131 that is electrically connected to the water supply component 12. When the plug-in part 32 is plugged into the plug-in groove 13, the first terminal 321 is plugged into the second terminal 131.
[0026] When assembling, the user only needs to insert the plug part 32 into the plug slot 13 to complete the connection between the water tank 1 and the weighing base 3. At the same time, the first terminal 321 will be plugged into the second terminal 131 to realize the electrical connection between the weighing unit 31 and the water supply component 12. This pet water dispenser has a simple structure, is easy to disassemble and assemble, and can reduce problems that may occur during circuit assembly.
[0027] The water supply assembly 12 includes a water pump 121, a water pipe 122, a sensor 123, and a controller (not shown in the figure); the bottom of the purified water tank 1 is provided with a water inlet 16, and the purified water tank 1 is provided with a water outlet 14 above the drinking tray 11. The water pump 121 is connected to the water inlet 16, one end of the water pipe 122 is connected to the water pump 121, and the other end is connected to the water outlet 14; the sensor 123 is set on the outer peripheral wall of the purified water tank 1 and is located above the drinking tray 11. The controller is set inside the purified water tank 1 and is electrically connected to the sensor 123, the water pump 121, and the second terminal 131 respectively.
[0028] Sensor 123 can be an infrared sensor. When sensor 123 detects that a pet is approaching the water bowl 11, it will transmit the detected signal to the controller. The controller will then control the water pump 121 to turn on and supply water to the water bowl 11. When sensor 123 detects that the pet leaves the water bowl 11, it will turn off the water pump 121 through the controller to save water resources.
[0029] The weighing unit 31 is a weighing sensor, which is installed inside the weighing base 3. A weighing tray 33 is provided between the weighing base 3 and the sewage tank 2. The top of the weighing base 3 is provided with a through hole. The upper end of the weighing tray 33 abuts against the sewage tank 2. The lower end of the weighing tray 33 is provided with a vertically downward extending connecting part 331. The free end of the connecting part 331 passes through the through hole and is connected to the weighing sensor.
[0030] The weighing tray 33 has a circular protrusion 332 on its top, and the sewage tank 2 has a recess 21 at its bottom that matches the protrusion 332. The protrusion 332 is connected to the recess 21. The cooperation between the protrusion 332 and the recess 21 can prevent the sewage tank 2 from moving on the weighing tray 33, and can also prevent the center of gravity of the sewage tank 2 from shifting, which would lead to inaccurate weighing.
[0031] The outer peripheral wall of the protrusion 332 is provided with a positioning groove 3321, and the inner peripheral wall of the recess 21 is provided with a positioning block 211 that matches the positioning groove 3321. The positioning block 211 is engaged in the positioning groove 3321. Through the cooperation between the positioning block 211 and the positioning groove 3321, the angle of the sewage tank 2 can be accurately positioned, avoiding the displacement of the assembly angle of the sewage tank 2.
[0032] An electric heating element 15 is installed at the bottom of the water purification tank 1. The electric heating element 15 is used to heat the purified water in the water purification tank 1. The electric heating element 15 (such as an electric heating plate) can keep the purified water in the water purification tank 1 at a constant temperature to prevent the pet from getting cold. The water purification tank 1 is also equipped with a temperature control probe, which is electrically connected to the controller along with the electric heating element 15. The temperature control probe is used to detect the temperature of the purified water in the water purification tank 1 in real time and transmits the detected signal to the controller.
