[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0028] See Figure 1 This application provides a pet water fountain, including a water tank 1, a water collection tray 2, a filter element 3, and a power component 4. The water collection tray 2 is connected to the top of the water tank 1. A water outlet 21 is provided on the top or periphery of the water collection tray 2, and a residue outlet 22 is provided on the bottom of the water collection tray 2. The filter element 3 is located between the water collection tray 2 and the water tank 1, and is connected to the residue outlet 22 and the water tank 1 respectively. The power component 4 includes a drive element 41 and a water pipe 42. The drive element 41 is located inside the water tank 1 and is connected to the water collection tray 2 through the water pipe 42. The drive element 41 is used to transport water from the water tank 1 to the water collection tray 2.

[0029] In practical applications, the pet water fountain of this application may include a water collection tray 2, a filter element 3, and a water tank 1 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The water tank 1 is used to store drinking water. The filter element 3 is located between the water collection tray 2 and the water tank 1 and is used to filter the water flowing back to the water tank 1 from the water collection tray 2. The water collection tray 2 is located on top of the water tank 1 and is mainly used to provide drinking water for pets. The drive element 41 is installed in the water tank 1. One end of the water pipe 42 is connected to the drive element 41, and the other end extends out of the water tank 1 with the outlet facing the water collection tray 2. The drive element 41 draws water from the water tank 1 into the water pipe 42 and then into the water collection tray 2 from the outlet of the water pipe 42, making it convenient for pets to drink water on the water collection tray 2.

[0030] Meanwhile, a water outlet 21 is provided on the top or around the water collection tray 2. The water outlet 21 is connected to the water tank 1. Excess water on the water collection tray 2 flows back to the water tank 1 through the water outlet 21, which prevents the water in the water collection tray 2 from overflowing and polluting the environment due to excessive water volume. Furthermore, the bottom of the water collection tray 2 is equipped with a sludge outlet 22. The sludge outlet 22 is mainly used to clean the stains on the water collection tray 2. Due to the pet's saliva or drinking water after eating, various food residues, saliva, pet hair and other impurities will be mixed into the water collection tray 2, which is very inconvenient to clean. Therefore, the sludge outlet 22 is set in the water collection tray 2. When cleaning is required, the sludge outlet 22 is opened to clean the impurities out of the water collection tray 2. The sludge outlet 22 is connected to the filter element 3. The filter element 3 filters the impurities and absorbs the odors and harmful substances in the water flowing back down. The filter element 3 blocks the residues and pet hair and other impurities, and filters the liquid before it flows back to the water tank 1, thus making the water cleaner.

[0031] Compared to existing technologies, this application features a sludge-passing port 22 on the water collection tray 2. This port 22 guides impurities from the water collection tray 2 to the filter element 3. Through the filtration function of the filter element 3, hair, residue, and other impurities are intercepted, resulting in cleaner water and providing clean, healthy drinking water for pets. Simultaneously, it facilitates cleaning of the water collection tray 2. The presence of the sludge-passing port 22 makes cleaning the water collection tray 2 much easier, eliminating the need to disassemble the tray and improving the practicality of the device.

[0032] It should be noted that the driving component 41 can be a water pump or other similar equipment.

[0033] See Figure 2 The pet water fountain also includes a sealing element 5, which can selectively seal the waste passage 22. In practical applications, to facilitate cleaning of stains on the water collection tray 2 and to prevent water from flowing back to the water tank 1 through the waste passage 22 during drinking, the waste passage 22 is usually sealed with the sealing element 5. When cleaning is needed, the sealing element 5 is removed, and the water flows to the waste passage 22. Impurities are carried to the waste passage 22 with the water flow and then flow together from the waste passage 22 to the filter element 3. The filter element 3 blocks impurities, filters the water flow, and allows it to flow back to the water tank 1. The use of the sealing element 5 makes opening and sealing the waste passage 22 more convenient and prevents the waste passage 22 from becoming clogged and unable to function properly.

[0034] It should be noted that the sealing component 5 can be a silicone plug or similar structure.

[0035] In one embodiment, the filter element 3 can be connected to the slag outlet 22. With this configuration, the filter element 3 can be used in a smaller volume filter device, saving the material of the filter element 3 and thus saving costs.

[0036] See again Figure 2The filter element 3 includes a connecting plate 31 and a filter element 32. The connecting plate 31 is connected to the top of the water tank 1, the water collection plate 2 is connected to the top of the connecting plate 31, and the filter element 32 is movably connected inside the connecting plate 31.

[0037] In one embodiment, the filter element 3 includes a connecting plate 31 and a filter element 32. The connecting plate 31 is located between the water collection plate 2 and the water tank 1, and the filter element 32 is located inside the connecting plate 31. The filter element 32 and the connecting plate 31 are movable relative to each other. For example, the filter element 32 can move or rotate relative to the connecting plate 31, making it easy to remove the filter element 32 from the connecting plate 31. The connecting plate 31 has a large area and can catch the water source returning from the water collection plate 2. Water flowing back from the water outlet 21 or the sludge outlet 22 of the water collection plate 2 flows to the connecting plate 31, and then flows from the connecting plate 31 to the filter element 32. After being filtered by the filter element 32, it flows back to the water tank 1. The filter element 32 can adsorb odors and some harmful chemicals in the water, making the water flowing back to the water tank 1 cleaner and preventing some impurities from flowing directly back to the water tank 1 from the water outlet 21. Compared with only filtering the water flowing back from the sludge outlet 22, this method can further improve the health of the pet's drinking water.

[0038] See again Figure 2 The connecting plate 31 also includes an installation part 311 extending toward the water tank 1. The installation part 311 has an installation groove 312, and the filter element 32 is disposed in the installation groove 312 and overlaps with the bottom of the installation groove 312.

[0039] In practical applications, after long-term use, the filter element 32 will gradually become filled with impurities. If the filter element 32 is not replaced in time, the clogged filter element 32 may affect the filtration of water flow. Therefore, this application has an installation part 311, in which the filter element 32 is attached. When the filter element 32 needs to be replaced, it can be directly taken out from the installation part 311, which is convenient, quick and easy to operate.

[0040] See again Figure 2 The connecting plate 31 also includes a main body 313, which is connected to the mounting part 311. The main body 313 includes a first step 3131 arranged along its circumference, and the water collection plate 2 overlaps the first step 3131.

[0041] In practical applications, the water collection tray 2 and the connecting tray 31 can also be connected by overlapping. The connecting tray 31 has a first step 3131 around its outer side. The first step 3131 is used for overlapping the water collection tray 2 and can play a positioning role, limiting the shaking of the water collection tray 2. The water collection tray 2 may be displaced due to factors such as collisions with pets or the impact of water flow, thus failing to collect overflow water properly. This overlapping method is similar to placing a container on a stable shelf, so that the water collection tray 2 can remain in the correct position during normal water flow and pet use, ensuring the stability of the entire water dispenser system.

[0042] See again Figure 2 The main body 313 includes a second step 3132 connected to the outside of the first step 3131, which overlaps with the water tank 1. The second step 3132 is mainly used for the connecting plate 31 to overlap onto the water tank 1, providing a stable overlapping platform for the connecting plate 31. Through the overlap with the second step 3132, the connecting plate 31 can better fix its position. At the same time, the overlap facilitates the disassembly of the connecting plate 31 and the water collection tray 2, making it easier to clean each component.

[0043] See again Figure 2 A guide portion 3133 is formed between the first step portion 3131 and the second step portion 3132, and the guide portion 3133 extends obliquely. The guide portion 3133 can play a guiding role. When the water in the water collection tray 2 overflows to the outside due to shaking or vibration from a pet drinking water, the guide portion 3133 can guide the water on the outside back to the water collection tray 2, preventing water from spilling outside the water dispenser and polluting the environment.

[0044] See again Figure 2 The connecting plate 31 has an overflow port 314, and the distance between the overflow port 314 and the water tank 1 is greater than the distance between the filter element 32 and the water tank 1. In practical applications, the overflow port 314 is located on the connecting plate 31 and above the filter element 32. The overflow port 314 mainly prevents water from overflowing from the overflow port 314 and flowing back to the water tank 1 when the filtration efficiency of the filter element 32 is slow, thus avoiding excessive water on the connecting plate 31, which would cause water to overflow from the connecting plate 31 to the outside and pollute the environment.

[0045] See Figure 3The filter element 32 includes a handle 323, an upper filter cover 321, and a lower filter cover 322. The upper filter cover 321 and the lower filter cover 322 are connected. The upper filter cover 321 has a plurality of first filter holes 3211 on its outer periphery. The first filter holes 3211 extend from the top surface of the upper filter cover 321 to the side surface of the upper filter cover 321. The upper filter cover 321 has a recessed portion 3212, which extends toward the lower filter cover 322. The recessed portion 3212 has a second filter hole 3213. The handle 323 is connected to the recessed portion 3212 and is disposed opposite to the second filter hole 3213. The bottom surface of the lower filter cover 322 has a third filter hole 3221.

[0046] In practical applications, when water flows through the filter element 32, it first passes through the first filter hole 3211 and the second filter hole 3213. The larger diameters of the first and second filter holes 3211 and 3213 prevent large particles in the water from clogging the first filter hole 3211, achieving coarse filtration. The second filter hole 3213 also acts as a guide, allowing users to easily insert their fingers and remove the filter element 32 by picking up the handle 323. The smaller diameter of the third filter hole 3221 allows for fine filtration. The larger diameters of the first and second filter holes 3211 and 3213 ensure efficient water filtration. Because they allow water to pass through quickly while intercepting larger impurities, the filtration speed is not too slow due to initial fine filtration. The third filter hole 3221 focuses on improving filtration quality by intercepting smaller impurities to ensure the filtered water achieves a higher level of cleanliness. This design ensures that pets can drink clean water promptly while also considering the efficiency of the filtration system, making the entire water dispenser's filtration process more rational and efficient.

[0047] Furthermore, the upper filter cover 321 and the lower filter cover 322 can be detachably connected, for example, by threaded connection. During cleaning, the filter element 32 can be removed, and the upper filter cover 321 and the lower filter cover 322 can be disassembled to achieve the cleaning function.

[0048] Unlike existing technologies, this application provides a pet water dispenser, including a water tank 1, a water collection tray 2, a filter element 3, and a power component 4. The water collection tray 2 is connected to the top of the water tank 1, and has a water outlet 21 on its top or periphery, and a residue outlet 22 on its bottom. The filter element 3 is located between the water collection tray 2 and the water tank 1, and is connected to both the residue outlet 22 and the water tank 1. The power component 4 includes a drive element 41 and a water pipe 42. The drive element 41 is located inside the water tank 1 and is connected to the water collection tray 2 via the water pipe 42. The drive element 41 is used to transport water from the water tank 1 to the water collection tray 2. Compared to existing technologies, this application provides a residue outlet 22 on the water collection tray 2. The residue outlet 22 can guide impurities on the water collection tray 2 to the filter element 3. Through the filtration effect of the filter element 3, impurities such as hair and residue can be intercepted, making the water cleaner and providing clean and healthy drinking water for pets. At the same time, it is easy to clean the water collection pan 2. The presence of the slag outlet 22 makes the cleaning of the water collection pan 2 easier. The cleaning function can be achieved without disassembling the water collection pan 2, which improves the practicality of the device.

[0049] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
