[0003] Existing siphon bottle caps mainly consist of springs and valve cores. However, if the surface coating of the spring, a metal component, peels off during long-term use, it is prone to rust, which can contaminate the pet's drinking water and harm the pet's health. Therefore, a pet water fountain is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a pet water fountain to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a pet water fountain, including a base, a water storage tank and a drinking tray installed on the base, the upper end of the water storage tank is open and covered with a lid, the lower end of the water storage tank forms a bottle mouth and is screwed on with a siphon bottle cap, and the siphon bottle cap and the drinking tray are connected by a water tank.

[0006] The siphon bottle cap includes a cap body, which is cylindrical. The middle part of the cap body is divided into upper and lower parts by a partition. The upper part of the cap body is provided with a first threaded part that is adapted to the mouth of the water storage tank. The lower part of the cap body is provided with a water outlet that communicates with the water tank.

[0007] The partition has two through holes in the middle;

[0008] A float is installed below the partition. The float is adapted to the double through hole. When the float floats up and fits into the double through hole, the float blocks the double through hole, thus closing the double through hole.

[0009] The lower end of the partition is also equipped with a limiting component to restrict the upward and downward floating path of the float. The limiting component restricts the float to move vertically along the central axis of the double through holes.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting component includes a funnel cylinder with multiple through holes on its periphery, the upper end of the funnel cylinder being fixed to the lower end of the partition plate, and the funnel cylinder being movably covered on the outside of the float.

[0011] Preferably, a sealing diaphragm ring is fixed to the wall of the double through hole. When the float floats and is embedded in the double through hole, the surface of the float is in contact with the sealing diaphragm ring and has an interference fit.

[0012] Preferably, a second threaded portion is formed on the inner side of the cover body. The second threaded portion is located below the first threaded portion. The horizontal height of the lower end of the second threaded portion is higher than the horizontal height of the upper end of the water outlet notch. A threaded groove adapted to the second threaded portion is opened on the periphery of the partition, and the height of the partition is less than the height of the second threaded portion.

[0013] Preferably, there is a gap between the lower end of the swivel cylinder and the lower end of the cover, the height of the gap being greater than the height of the second threaded portion and less than the radius of the float.

[0016] The lower end of the filter barrel has a downward-protruding filter nozzle, inside which a filter element is placed. The lower end of the filter nozzle is at a higher level than the opening of the water tank. The lower end of the filter nozzle has a water outlet and an air inlet.

[0017] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. In this utility model, by setting a siphon bottle cap, the existing spring and valve core structure is improved into a float structure, which can avoid the rusting of the metal spring during long-term use, thereby avoiding pollution of pet drinking water and ensuring the health of pet drinking water.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, by rotating the partition, the relative position of the partition within the cover body is adjusted, thereby changing the height of the partition. After the height of the partition changes, the stroke of the float ball as it rises into the double through hole also changes, that is, the highest water level below the partition within the cover body changes. Correspondingly, the highest water level in the drinking dish changes accordingly, thus achieving the effect of adjusting the highest water level in the drinking dish. This allows the user to adjust the water level in the drinking dish each time water is refilled by adjusting the height of the partition, making it convenient to flexibly adjust according to the different water consumption of different pets and meet diverse drinking needs.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Example: Reference Figures 1-5 The pet water fountain shown includes a base 1, a water tank 2 and a drinking tray 3 installed on the base 1. The upper end of the water tank 2 is open and covered with a lid 21. The lower end of the water tank 2 forms a bottle mouth and is screwed on with a siphon bottle cap 4. The siphon bottle cap 4 and the drinking tray 3 are connected by a water trough. The siphon bottle cap 4 is movably inserted into the groove of the base 1, and the lower end of the siphon bottle cap 4 abuts against the bottom of the groove of the base 1.

[0029] The siphon bottle cap 4 includes a cap body 41, which is a cylindrical cap body. The middle part of the cap body 41 is divided into upper and lower parts by a partition 42. The upper part of the cap body 41 is provided with a first threaded part 43 that is adapted to the bottle mouth of the water storage tank 2. The lower part of the cap body 41 is provided with a water outlet notch 47 that communicates with the water tank.

[0030] The partition 42 has a double through hole 421 in the middle;

[0031] A float 46 is provided below the partition 42. The float 46 is adapted to the double through hole 421. When the float 46 floats up and fits into the double through hole 421, the float 46 blocks the double through hole 421, thus closing the double through hole 421.

[0032] The lower end of the partition 42 is also provided with a limiting component to restrict the upward and downward floating path of the float 46. The limiting component restricts the float 46 to move vertically along the central axis of the double through hole 421.

[0033] Based on the above structure, when the water level in the drinking tray 3 is lower than the partition 42, since the cover 41 is connected to the drinking tray 3 through the water outlet 47 and the water trough, the water level in the cover 41 will also be lower than the partition 42. At this time, the float 46 sinks to the bottom of the cover 41 under its own weight, that is, the bottom of the float 46 contacts the bottom of the groove in the base 1. The water in the water storage tank 2 flows down through the double through-hole 421 under its own weight, and enters the drinking tray 3 after passing through the water outlet 47 and the water trough, so that the water level in the drinking tray 3 and the water level in the cover 41 steadily rise. Meanwhile, external air enters the cover 41 through the water tank and water outlet 47, and finally enters the water storage tank 2 through the double through hole 421 to balance the air pressure inside the water storage tank 2. During this process, the float 46 gradually rises with the water level. When the water level finally rises to the bottom of the partition 42, the float 46 rises under the action of buoyancy and embeds itself in the double through hole 421. At this time, the float 46 closes the double through hole 421 to prevent the water in the water storage tank 2 and the external air from continuing to flow, thereby achieving the purpose of disconnecting the water supply. This realizes the water supply mode of automatic water supply and automatic disconnection, meeting the drinking needs of pets.

[0034] By modifying the existing spring and valve core structure to a float 46 structure, the rusting of the spring, a metal component, can be avoided during long-term use, thus preventing contamination of the pet's drinking water and ensuring the pet's drinking water health.

[0035] It should be noted that the float 46 is a hollow sphere made of a non-metallic material commonly used in the prior art and applicable to this embodiment. At the same time, considering the drinking water health needs of pets, it is best to make it with food-grade materials, such as food-grade silicone.

[0036] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a funnel 44 with multiple through holes on its periphery, the upper end of the funnel 44 being fixed to the lower end of the partition 42, and the funnel 44 being movably covered on the outside of the float 46.

[0037] By setting the sieve cylinder 44, the movement direction of the float 46 can be restricted, that is, the float 46 can only rise and fall with the rise and fall of the water level inside the sieve cylinder 44, ensuring that the float 46 can always correspond to the position of the double through hole 421 during the rise and fall process, and ensuring that the float 46 can accurately close the double through hole 421 after rising, so as to achieve the purpose of disconnecting the water supply.

[0038] Furthermore, a sealing membrane ring 48 is fixed to the wall of the double through hole 421. The sealing membrane ring 48 is an annular ring made of a film (preferably a food-grade film) commonly used in the prior art and applicable to this embodiment. Its smooth surface can form a good sealing state when it is attached to the float 46. When the float 46 floats and is embedded in the double through hole 421, the surface of the float 46 is attached to the sealing membrane ring 48 and has an interference fit.

[0039] By setting the sealing membrane ring 48, the sealing membrane ring 48 can form a good sealing state when it is in contact with the float 46, thereby making the sealing performance of the float 46 on the double through hole 421 better and avoiding leakage.

[0040] Furthermore, a second threaded portion 45 is formed on the inner side of the cover 41. The second threaded portion 45 is located below the first threaded portion 43. The horizontal height of the lower end of the second threaded portion 45 is higher than the horizontal height of the upper end of the water outlet 47. A threaded groove 422 adapted to the second threaded portion 45 is opened on the periphery of the partition 42, and the height of the partition 42 is less than the height of the second threaded portion 45.

[0041] Users can adjust the relative position of the partition 42 within the cover 41 by rotating the partition 42, thereby changing the height of the partition 42. After the height of the partition 42 changes, the stroke of the float 46 as it rises into the double through hole 421 also changes. That is, the highest water level below the partition 42 in the cover 41 (the water level when the float 46 blocks the double through hole 421) changes. Correspondingly, the highest water level in the drinking dish 3 changes accordingly, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the highest water level in the drinking dish 3. This allows users to adjust the water level in the drinking dish 3 each time they refill water by adjusting the height of the partition 42, making it convenient to flexibly adjust according to the different water consumption of different pets and meet diverse drinking needs.

[0042] Furthermore, there is a gap between the lower end of the sluice tube 44 and the lower end of the cover 41. The height of the gap is greater than the height of the second threaded part 45, and the height of the gap is less than the radius of the float 46. This satisfies both the adjustment requirements of the partition 42 and the limiting requirements of the float 46.

[0043] Furthermore, a limiting ring 49 is fixed between the first threaded portion 43 and the second threaded portion 45. After the partition plate 42 is tightened, the upper end of the partition plate 42 abuts against the lower end of the limiting ring 49, limiting the highest position of the partition plate 42 to prevent excessive tightening from damaging the thread structure.

[0044] Furthermore, a filter bucket 5 is snapped into the water storage tank 2. The outer wall of the filter bucket 5 is rubbed against the inner wall of the water storage tank 2. An opening is formed at the top of the filter bucket 5 and its horizontal height is lower than the horizontal height of the top of the water storage tank 2. Grooves 52 are formed on the upper parts of both the front and rear sides of the filter bucket 5.

[0045] The lower end of the filter canister 5 has a downwardly protruding filter nozzle 51, and a filter element is placed inside the filter nozzle 51. The filter element is a common filter element that is used in the prior art and is applicable to this embodiment. The cost of the common filter element is low. Using the common filter element can not only filter the pet's drinking water, but also reduce the cost of consumables (filter elements), achieving a better effect with a smaller cost. The horizontal height of the lower end of the filter nozzle 51 is higher than the horizontal height of the mouth of the water tank 2. The lower end of the filter nozzle 51 is provided with a water outlet 511 and an air inlet 512.

[0046] By adding a filter canister 5 to the existing water storage tank 2, when water needs to be added, water is added through the opening at the top of the filter canister 5. The water is filtered as it flows through the filter nozzle 51, and then flows into the water storage tank 2 through the water outlet 511. Finally, it flows out through the siphon cap 4 at the bottom of the water storage tank 2. The air entering the water storage tank 2 enters the filter canister 5 through the air inlet 512, so that the pressure inside the filter canister 5 is balanced, which can filter the water, improve the water quality of pet drinking water, and further ensure the health of pet drinking water.

[0047] It should be further explained that, generally speaking, pet drinking water needs to be added with boiled water, mineral water or special pet drinking water, etc. However, with the addition of the filter canister 5, tap water can be added directly when adding water. The tap water is filtered through the filter cartridge to meet the standards for pet drinking water, which can further reduce the cost of drinking water, expand the range of water to be added, and make it more convenient to use.

[0048] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During daily use, when the water level in the drinking tray 3 is lower than the partition 42, since the cover 41 is connected to the drinking tray 3 through the water outlet 47 and the water trough, the water level in the cover 41 will also be lower than the partition 42. At this time, the float 46 sinks to the bottom of the cover 41 under its own weight, that is, the bottom of the float 46 contacts the bottom of the groove in the base 1. The water in the water storage tank 2 flows down through the double through hole 421 under its own weight, and enters the drinking tray 3 after passing through the water outlet 47 and the water trough, so that the water level in the drinking tray 3 and the water level in the cover 41 are both lower. As the water level steadily rises, external air enters the cover 41 through the water tank and water outlet 47, and finally enters the water storage tank 2 through the double through hole 421, balancing the air pressure inside the water storage tank 2. During this process, the float 46 gradually rises with the water level. When the water level finally rises to the bottom of the partition 42, the float 46 rises under the action of buoyancy and embeds itself in the double through hole 421. At this time, the float 46 closes the double through hole 421 to prevent the water in the water storage tank 2 and the external air from continuing to flow, thus achieving the purpose of disconnecting the water supply. This realizes the water supply mode of automatic water replenishment and automatic water disconnection, meeting the drinking needs of pets.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
