Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Pet water fountains are drinking devices designed specifically for pets and are small in size. Common pet water fountains automatically provide clean drinking water for pets. Existing technologies include water fountains with circulating water and water fountains with non-circulating water.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent application CN202010193043.1 relates to a pet water dispenser, including a water storage device (100) and a water container (200). The water storage device (100) includes a water tank (110), an air inlet assembly (120), and a water outlet assembly (130). The air inlet assembly (120) and the water outlet assembly (130) are respectively disposed on the air inlet and water outlet of the water tank (110), and are separate from each other. The air intake assembly (120) has an air intake channel, one end of which is connected to the water storage tank and the other end is connected to the drinking water container; the lower end face of the water outlet assembly (130) is higher than the lower end face of the air intake assembly (120); the water outlet assembly includes a water outlet cover (132), which is installed on the water outlet and has a water outlet channel, one end of which is connected to the water storage tank and the other end is connected to the drinking water container.

[0004] The aforementioned document describes a water fountain that can store clean water, separate it from the water already consumed, and automatically refill it without external force. While a circulating water fountain can continuously retain drinking water, the constant filtration of the drinking water makes it impossible to guarantee water quality, and it also requires regular replacement of filter media. Currently, non-circulating pet water fountains suffer from rapid water consumption, causing the original water tank to be quickly depleted. Different pets have different water requirements, making it difficult to determine the appropriate water tank size. Therefore, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

A protrusion 405 is fixed on the lower side wall of the easy-to-remove plate 404, which allows for convenient disassembly and assembly of the components.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Based on Example 1, this embodiment proposes another implementation method for water source connection. A transfer pipe is attached to the water pumping pipe 802, and one end of the transfer pipe is connected to an external clean water source, such as a water tank for storing drinking water.

[0040] This pet water fountain features a larger, more stable, and higher-capacity water tray 5 to provide water for pets. The protruding structure 4 provides stable support for the water tray 5 and facilitates disassembly and cleaning. Simultaneously, the drive assembly 6 automatically empties wastewater, and the tray 3 performs simple hair filtration, reducing labor and eliminating the need for unnecessary consumables, making it more convenient and economical. The water outlet structure 7, located above the water tray 5, effectively utilizes its capacity, preventing underutilization. The interactive detector 103 prevents sudden water refills while the pet is drinking, effectively avoiding startling the pet. The bridging device 8 allows for changing the water pump position, facilitating adjustments based on the layout and better integrating with the surrounding environment, further saving space. The pumping method can also be modified, either by inverting the water bottle or by installing an adapter on the pump pipe to connect to a clean water source.

[0041] When using this pet water fountain, the external drinking water container and the screw cap 804 need to be connected so that the water pump 102 can draw out drinking water and then deliver it to the water outlet structure 7, which in turn delivers the drinking water to the drinking tray 5. When it is necessary to empty the wastewater, the drive component 6 drives the drinking tray 5 to rotate until the wastewater in the drinking tray 5 is completely emptied, and then the position of the drinking tray 5 is reset.

[0042] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that this invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this invention.
