It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0044] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0045] The following reference Figures 1 to 10 Description of a pet water fountain according to some embodiments of the present invention.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a pet water fountain, including a first housing 1, a drive assembly, a water outlet assembly, and a water tray.

[0047] Specifically, the drive assembly is located inside the first housing 1; the water outlet assembly is connected to the inside of the first housing 1, and is located above and connected to the drive assembly; the water tray is located inside the water outlet assembly, and has two water outlets 2 at the bottom.

[0048] During the use of the device, the drive component draws water from the bottom of the first housing 1 and delivers it to the water outlet component. The water outlet component then sprays the water out, which can wash away impurities on the surface of the water tray, thereby reducing the frequency of manual cleaning of the water tray.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the water tray includes:

[0050] Base plate 3;

[0051] The first arc-shaped plate 4 is fixedly connected to the edge of the upper surface of the base plate 3, and the horizontal cross-sectional shape of the first arc-shaped plate 4 is U-shaped;

[0052] The second arc-shaped plate 5 is fixedly connected to the edge of the upper surface of the base plate 3. The horizontal cross-sectional shape of the second arc-shaped plate 5 is U-shaped. The two ends of the second arc-shaped plate 5 are respectively connected to the two ends of the first arc-shaped plate 4. After the first arc-shaped plate 4 and the second arc-shaped plate 5 are connected, they form a ring-shaped side plate. The first arc-shaped plate 4 and the second arc-shaped plate 5 have the same shape and their openings are arranged opposite each other.

[0053] The two drain outlets 2 are located inside the first arc-shaped plate 4 and the second arc-shaped plate 5, respectively, and the two drain outlets 2 are symmetrically arranged on the line connecting the midpoints of the first arc-shaped plate 4 and the second arc-shaped plate 5 in the horizontal direction.

[0054] The driving component includes:

[0055] Water pump 6 is located at the bottom of the first housing 1;

[0056] The lower end of the water pump 7 is connected to the water pump 6.

[0057] The water outlet assembly includes:

[0058] A support member 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first housing 1. A first water inlet pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support member 8. A through hole 12 is opened at the bottom of the support member 8. The water pumping pipe 7 passes through the through hole 12 and is connected to the upper end of the first water inlet pipe 9.

[0059] The second housing 13 is located above the connection between the rear ends of the first arc plate 4 and the second arc plate 5. The rear end of the second housing 13 is detachably connected to the inner wall of the first housing 1. A second water inlet pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second housing 13. The second water inlet pipe 10 is located inside the first water inlet pipe 9. The second water inlet pipe 10 and the first water inlet pipe 9 are interference-fitted.

[0060] The third housing 14 is disposed inside the second housing 13. The bottom of the third housing 14 is fixedly connected to a third water inlet pipe 11. The third water inlet pipe 11 is disposed inside the second water inlet pipe 10. The third water inlet pipe 11 and the second water inlet pipe 10 are interference fit.

[0061] The first water outlet 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the third housing 14. The first water outlet 15 is located inside the first arc plate 4 and close to the rear inner wall of the first arc plate 4. The first water outlet 15 has a first water outlet 16 that communicates with the third housing 14.

[0062] The second water outlet 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the third housing 14. The second water outlet 17 is located inside the second arc plate 5 and close to the rear inner wall of the second arc plate 5. The second water outlet 17 has a second water outlet 18 that communicates with the third housing 14.

[0063] The first water outlet 15 and the second water outlet 17 are symmetrically arranged on the lower surface of the third housing 14. The first water outlet 15 and the second water outlet 17 penetrate the bottom of the second housing 13. The first water outlet 16 and the second water outlet 18 are located outside the second housing 13. The first water outlet 15 and the second water outlet 17 have the same shape and size. The first water outlet 16 is opened on the left side of the first water outlet 15, and the second water outlet 18 is opened on the right side of the second water outlet 17. The first water outlet 16 and the second water outlet 18 have the same shape and the same height in the vertical direction. The line connecting the center of the first water outlet 16 and the center of the second water outlet 18 is parallel to the line connecting the centers of the two leaks 2.

[0064] When the water dispenser starts working, the water pump 6 draws water from inside the first housing 1 and into the water intake pipe 7. The water then passes sequentially through the first inlet pipe 9, the second inlet pipe 10, and the third inlet pipe 11 before entering the third housing 14. From the third housing 14, the water enters the first outlet 15 and the second outlet 17, and is then sprayed out from the first outlet 16 and the second outlet 18. The water sprayed from the first outlet 16, under the influence of inertia and gravity, first contacts the inner wall of the first arc-shaped plate 4 closest to the first outlet 16. That is, the water first contacts the inner wall of the rear end of the first arc plate 4. Since the shape of the first arc plate 4 is U-shaped, it can move around the first arc plate 4 under the action of inertia. The water moves from the inner wall of the rear end of the first arc plate 4 to the left, forward and then to the right in sequence. Then it continues to rotate around the drain 2 located on the inner side of the first arc plate 4 under the action of inertia, and finally is discharged from the drain 2 located on the inner side of the first arc plate 4. Similarly, the water sprayed from the second outlet 18 will also move around the second arc plate 5 and finally be discharged from the drain 2 located on the inner side of the second arc plate 5. During the rotation of the two water streams, they meet at the connection point of the front ends of the first arc-shaped plate 4 and the second arc-shaped plate 5, and separate again at the connection point of the rear ends of the first arc-shaped plate 4 and the second arc-shaped plate 5. When the two water streams meet, they act as a limiting force, preventing water sprayed from the first outlet 16 from entering the interior of the second arc-shaped plate 5, and also preventing water sprayed from the second outlet 18 from entering the interior of the first arc-shaped plate 4. After meeting, under the action of gravity, the water slides down along the front connection point of the first arc-shaped plate 4 and the second arc-shaped plate 5, and then flows from the front connection point of the first arc-shaped plate 4 and the second connecting plate to the rear connection point. As the first outlet 16 and the second outlet 18 continuously spray water, they continuously exert a pushing force on the water on the base plate 3, causing the two water streams to rotate along the two drain outlets 2 respectively. During the rotation of the two water streams, the base plate 3, the first arc-shaped plate 4 and the second arc-shaped plate 5 can be flushed, reducing the frequency of manual cleaning of the water tray.

[0065] In addition, when it is necessary to clean the second housing 13, the third housing 14 and the water outlet, the second water inlet pipe 10 can be pulled out from the first water inlet pipe 9, and then the second housing 13 and the third housing 14 can be completely separated from the first housing 1, so that a new second housing 13 and the third housing 14 can be installed. The operation is simple and convenient for users to clean.

[0066] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the drain outlet 2 is provided with an annular protrusion 19 in the circumferential direction, and the annular protrusion 19 is provided on the upper surface of the base plate 3.

[0067] The annular protrusion 19 ensures that when water enters the water tray, the water level must be higher than the annular protrusion 19 to flow downwards through the drain outlet 2. This allows the water dispenser to limit the water flow when it is turned off, ensuring that there is always water in the water tray and that the pet can drink normally.

[0068] like Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a limiting groove 20 is formed on the upper surface of the support member 8, and the bottom plate 3 is disposed in the limiting groove 20.

[0069] By placing the base plate 3 inside the limiting groove 20, the shape of the limiting groove 20 is adapted to the shape of the base plate 3, which can limit the base plate 3 and prevent the chassis from shifting during use.

[0070] like Figure 9 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a water groove 21 is provided on the upper surface of the support member 8. One end of the water groove 21 is connected to the limiting groove 20 and the other end is connected to the through hole 12. The size of the through hole 12 is larger than the size of the water pumping pipe 7.

[0071] When water flows down from the drain 2, it enters the limiting groove 20. Then the water flows through the water tank 21 to the through hole 12. Since the size of the through hole 12 is larger than the size of the pumping pipe 7, a gap is left between the through hole 12 and the outer wall of the pumping pipe 7. The water can then pass through this gap and return to the bottom of the first receiving cavity, thus realizing water circulation.

[0072] like Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a filter layer 2219 is provided inside the limiting groove 20.

[0073] The limiting groove 20 is equipped with a filter layer 22, which includes materials such as sponge and activated carbon that have purification and adsorption functions, adsorbing impurities in the water, thereby ensuring that the water flowing into the first receiving cavity remains clean.

[0074] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a sealing element 23 is provided on the outside of the third water inlet pipe 11.

[0075] By providing a sealing element 23 on the outside of the third water inlet pipe 11, the sealing element 23 is made of rubber. The sealing element 23 can prevent water inside the second water inlet pipe 10 from entering the third housing 14, thus preventing water leakage. In addition, the sealing element 23 can also ensure the airtightness of the water passage, ensuring that water can be drawn normally.

[0076] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the top of the first housing 1 is provided with a cover 24.

[0077] The cover 24 is detachably installed on the top of the first housing 1. The cover 24 can prevent water droplets from splashing when the pet drinks water, further reducing the cleaning difficulty for the user.

[0078] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0079] 1. Through the cooperation of the water outlet component and the drive component, the surface of the water tray can be flushed and cleaned during the water circulation process, thereby reducing the frequency of manual cleaning of the water tray.

[0080] 2. By setting the annular protrusion 19, it can be ensured that there is water in the water tray for the pet to drink when the device is powered off.

[0081] In this utility model, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; "linking" can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.
