Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pet supplies technology, specifically relating to an intelligent pet water dispenser. Background Technology
[0002] When keeping pets at home, a small bowl or basin is usually used as a water container. The owner needs to replenish the water container to ensure that the pet has water to drink. If the water in the container is not changed regularly, bacteria will grow in the water, affecting the pet's health. If the owner is not at home for a long time, the pet will face the situation of not having water to drink. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an intelligent pet water dispenser.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides an intelligent pet water dispenser, comprising:
[0005] Water storage tanks are used to store drinking water;
[0006] A wastewater tank is located above the water storage tank. A receiving plate is provided above the wastewater tank, and a main unit is embedded in the receiving plate. A water pump and an outlet pipe connected to the water pump are provided in the main unit. The water pump is used to pump water from the water storage tank to the outlet pipe to realize the output of drinking water.
[0007] A water container is placed below the outlet of the water pipe to collect the water discharged from the water pipe for pets to drink;
[0008] A tilting motor is connected to the water outlet pipe, which drives the water outlet pipe to rotate along its axial direction;
[0009] A swing arm is fixedly fitted around the outer circumference of the water outlet pipe. The swing arm swings and tilts as the water outlet pipe rotates. A disc is provided at the bottom of the swing arm. The disc is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water container. As the swing arm tilts, the disc also tilts synchronously, causing the water container fixed to it to tilt and pour out the remaining water inside.
[0010] According to this utility model, the receiving plate has a fence function, receiving the remaining water poured out of the water container by the tilting of the disc and causing it to flow into the wastewater tank.
[0011] According to this utility model, it further includes a control module, which includes an integrated microprocessor for controlling the operation of the actuators; it is electrically connected to the tilting motor and controls whether the tilting motor performs tilting operations according to settings;
[0012] A water level sensor, electrically connected to the integrated microprocessor, monitors the water level in the wastewater tank.
[0013] A water pump controls the on / off state of the pipeline connected to an external water source. The water pump is electrically connected to the integrated microprocessor. When the water level sensor detects that the water level in the wastewater tank is higher than a preset value, it transmits a signal to the integrated microprocessor. The integrated microprocessor then initiates a report to the mobile app to clean the wastewater tank and stops the emptying action, only continuing to supply water.
[0014] According to this utility model, the disc is further equipped with a weighing sensor electrically connected to the integrated microprocessor to monitor the water level changes in the water container in real time. When the water level is lower than a preset value, the integrated microprocessor starts a water pump to pump water from the storage tank to the target value. If the weighing sensor does not change and the water level does not increase within a certain period of time, the integrated microprocessor starts reporting to a mobile app to remind the storage tank to add water.
[0015] According to this utility model, the device further includes a communication module that supports Wi-Fi / Bluetooth, connects to a mobile APP, and enables remote setting of water supply and drainage time, water volume threshold, and data viewing.
[0016] According to this utility model, a power module is further provided inside the main unit chassis.
[0017] According to this utility model, the water container has a double-layer structure, with the outer container fixed to the disc and the inner container and the outer container being detachably and fixedly connected.
[0018] According to this utility model, the swing arm and the disc are integrally formed.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention is an intelligent pet water dispenser that integrates automatic water supply, timed drainage and weighing feedback, and optimizes pet drinking hygiene and management efficiency through modular structure;
[0020] It solves the hygiene hazards and management blind spots of traditional drinking water devices, and ensures water freshness through intelligent control, so that pets can always drink healthy water, reducing the risk of urinary system diseases in pets, and reducing the difficulty of raising pets.

Detailed Implementation
[0028] To make this utility model more apparent and understandable, preferred embodiments are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, this application provides an intelligent pet water dispenser, including a water storage tank 100 for storing drinking water, a main unit 200 disposed above the water storage tank 100, a water pump 210 disposed inside the main unit 200 and a water outlet pipe 220 connected thereto, the water pump 210 draws water from the water storage tank 100 and delivers it to the water outlet pipe 220 through the pipeline, and a water container 300 for pet drinking is disposed below the water outlet of the water outlet pipe 220 to receive the water discharged from the water outlet pipe 220 for the pet to drink.
[0030] To achieve automatic tilting of the water container 300, a tilting motor 400 is installed on the outer periphery of the water outlet pipe 220 inside the main unit housing 200. A swing rod 500 is fixedly mounted on the outer periphery of the main unit housing 200. A disc 510 is integrally formed at the bottom of the swing rod 500, and the disc 510 is located at the bottom of the water container 300, with the two fixedly connected. This can be either a snap-fit or an integrally formed structure. When it is necessary to empty the remaining water in the water container 300, the tilting motor 400 is activated, causing the water outlet pipe 220 to rotate axially. This causes the swing rod 500 connected to the outer periphery of the water outlet pipe 220 to swing, creating a tilt angle for the disc 510 relative to the horizontal plane, tilting the water container 300 and emptying the remaining water inside. To ensure proper positioning after tilting, a Hall sensor 721 is added.
[0031] To facilitate the cleaning of spilled water, a receiving tray 610 is installed below the water container 300 to collect the remaining water. Preferably, the receiving tray 610 is detachably installed on top of the water storage tank 100, and a wastewater tank 600 is located at the bottom of the receiving tray 610. The remaining water flows into the wastewater tank 600 through the receiving tray 610. The wastewater tank 600 is equipped with a water level sensor 720. When the wastewater tank 600 is full, the owner can empty the remaining water. The wastewater tank 600 is snap-fitted to the water storage tank 100 for easy disassembly and installation. To improve the overall structural integrity, the size of the receiving tray 610 corresponds to the size of the opening at the top of the water storage tank 100, and the main unit housing 200 is embedded in the receiving tray 610. A magnetic induction switch may also be included, which will sound an alarm when the wastewater reaches a certain level to remind the owner to handle the situation. When the wastewater tank 600 is under alarm condition, water replenishment continues, but the emptying action is not performed. The floating magnetic induction switch is an existing component and will not be described in detail here.
[0032] It also includes a control module 700, which includes an integrated microprocessor 710, such as an STM32, used to control the operation of the actuators to achieve automatic water supply and pouring functions. Specifically, the disc 510 is equipped with a high-precision weighing sensor 730 electrically connected to the integrated microprocessor 710, which monitors the water level changes in the water container 300 in real time. When the water level is lower than a preset value, the integrated microprocessor 710 starts the water pump 210 to pump water from the water tank 100 to the target value; when the net water level in the water tank 100 is less than the preset value, it reminds the owner to add water. The water in the water container 300 can be poured out when the set lower limit of the water container weight is met; alternatively, it can be set to start the tilting motor 400 at a fixed time every day to empty the remaining water in the water container 300, reset it, and automatically replenish water. The high-precision weighing sensor 730 can also record the pet's daily water intake, generate a trend chart, and push an alarm when there are abnormalities (such as not drinking water for 12 consecutive hours) to promptly remind the owner to pay attention to the pet's health status.
[0033] In this embodiment, a communication module 740 is also included, which supports Wi-Fi / Bluetooth and connects to a mobile APP to remotely set water supply and drainage time, water volume threshold and view data.
[0034] In this embodiment, the main unit 200 is also equipped with a power module 750, which supports lithium battery and USB power supply. The low power consumption design allows the water feeder to be used without being plugged into a power source, making it easy to carry.
[0035] In this embodiment, the water container 300 has a double-layer structure. The outer container is fixed to the disc 510, and the inner container is detachably and fixedly connected to the outer container. This facilitates the separate removal of the inner container for timely cleaning, maintaining the hygiene of the water container 300. For ease of disassembly, a snap-fit fixing method is preferred, which facilitates disassembly and installation. Furthermore, an opening is formed on the top surface of the outer container to provide space for removing the inner container, facilitating the installation or removal of the inner container.
[0036] To ensure a suitable drinking water temperature, a PI heating element can be installed at the bottom of the water container 300.
[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit this utility model in any form or substance. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and additions without departing from this utility model, and these improvements and additions should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model. Any modifications, alterations, and equivalent changes made by those skilled in the art based on the above-disclosed technical content without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model are equivalent embodiments of this utility model.
