[0035] This embodiment provides a pet water fountain, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this can effectively prevent pets from splashing water on the ground when drinking, thus avoiding water waste and reducing the workload of pet owners in cleaning.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the pet water fountain includes a main housing 1, a water storage component 2, and a water delivery assembly 3. The main housing 1 has a receiving chamber 11 configured to store water. The water storage component 2 is mounted on the main housing 1 and includes a water tank 21 and a drinking spout 22. The water tank 21 and the drinking spout 22 are interconnected, and the water tank 21 extends in a direction away from the drinking spout 22. The vertical height of the drinking spout 22 gradually decreases along the X-direction, meaning the drinking spout 22 is an inclined opening. When a pet needs to drink, it inserts its head into the water tank 21 from the lower end to lick the water. At this time, the wall of the water tank 21 on the higher side of the drinking spout 22 can act as a barrier structure to stop the water splashed up by the pet licking, preventing it from splashing out of the water tank 21 and onto the ground. The bottom wall of the water storage component 2 has a through hole 23, through which the inner cavity of the water storage tank 21 communicates with the receiving chamber 11. One end of the water delivery component 3 is connected to the receiving chamber 11, and the other end is connected to the inner cavity of the water storage tank 21, for delivering water to the water storage tank 21. Thus, the water delivery component 3 can deliver water from the receiving chamber 11 to the water storage tank 21. When the water enters the water storage tank 21, it will flow along the tank wall and re-enter the receiving chamber 11 through the through hole 23 on the bottom wall of the water storage component 2, thereby forming a circulating water flow, which increases the oxygen content in the water flow and keeps the drinking water source fresh at all times.
[0037] When a pet drinks water, it inserts its head into the water tank 21 from the lower side of the drinking spout 22 to lick and drink the water stored in the water tank 21. The wall of the water tank 21 on the higher side of the drinking spout 22 can be used to prevent the water from splashing up when the pet licks, so that the water splashes onto the wall of the water tank 21, thereby preventing water from splashing onto the ground and reducing the workload of the owner in cleaning. At the same time, the water that splashes onto the wall of the water tank 21 can flow along the wall and flow back into the water tank 21, thereby avoiding waste of water resources.
[0038] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the water delivery assembly 3 includes a suction mechanism 31 and a first connecting pipe 32. The suction mechanism 31 is disposed in the receiving chamber 11. One end of the first connecting pipe 32 is connected to the suction chamber of the suction mechanism 31, and the other end is connected to the inner cavity of the water storage tank 21. When there is water stored in the receiving chamber 11, the suction mechanism 31 is activated to draw water from the receiving chamber 11, allowing the water to enter the suction chamber of the suction mechanism 31. The water then flows through the first connecting pipe 32 into the water storage tank 21 for pet drinking. When the water flows back into the receiving chamber 11 through the through hole 23 on the bottom wall of the water storage component 2, it will be drawn back into the water storage tank 21 by the suction mechanism 31, thus forming a circulating water flow.
[0039] For example, the suction mechanism 31 includes a water pump.
[0040] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the pet water fountain also includes a second connecting pipe 5. A through hole two is provided on the side wall of the water storage component 2, communicating with the inner cavity of the water storage tank 21. One end of the second connecting pipe 5 communicates with the through hole two, and the other end communicates with the end of the first connecting pipe 32 away from the suction mechanism 31. When the suction mechanism 31 draws water from the receiving chamber 11, the water flows through the suction chamber of the suction mechanism 31, the first connecting pipe 32, and the second connecting pipe 5, flows out through the through hole two, and flows into the inner cavity of the water storage tank 21.
[0041] Optionally, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the pet water fountain also includes a water guiding channel 6. The water guiding channel 6 is located on the side of the through hole facing the water storage tank 21. When water is drawn into the second connecting pipe 5, it flows out through the through hole. By setting up the water guiding channel 6, the water flowing out of the through hole can be guided, so that the water flows into the water storage tank 21 in a parabolic manner. On the one hand, this reduces the impact force of the water flow; on the other hand, it can stimulate the pet's interest in drinking, enabling it to drink water actively and replenish its water in a timely manner, which is beneficial to the pet's health.
[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the side wall of the water storage component 2 is also provided with a through hole 25. The water storage tank 21 is connected to the receiving chamber 11 through the through hole 25. The vertical height of the through hole 25 is greater than the vertical height of the first through hole 23, but lower than the vertical height of the second through hole. When the water flow rate delivered into the water storage tank 21 by the suction mechanism 31 is greater than the water flow rate returning from the water storage tank 21 to the receiving chamber 11, the water flow in the water storage tank 21 will gradually increase, and may even fill the entire water storage tank 21. In severe cases, it may overflow due to excessive water volume, resulting in water waste. By providing the through hole 25 on the side wall of the water storage component 2, when the water volume in the water storage tank 21 increases and the water flow height reaches the height of the through hole 25, the water flow will return to the receiving chamber 11 through the through hole 25, preventing water from overflowing the water storage tank 21 and causing water waste.
[0043] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the pet water fountain also includes a buffer protrusion 4. The buffer protrusion 4 is disposed within the receiving chamber 11, and is directly opposite the through hole 23. The upper end of the buffer protrusion 4 and the through hole 23 are spaced apart along the Z direction, and the X direction is perpendicular to the Z direction. When water enters the water storage tank 21, it flows along the tank wall of the water storage tank 21 and flows out through the through hole 23. The flowing water first drips onto the buffer protrusion 4, then flows along the outer wall of the buffer protrusion 4, and flows back into the receiving chamber 11. By setting the buffer protrusion 4, the water flow can be guided, causing it to flow along the outer wall of the buffer protrusion 4, preventing the water from dripping onto the bottom wall of the main housing 1, thereby eliminating dripping sound, preventing noise, and buffering the water flow, reducing the water flow speed, and reducing the impact of the water flow on the bottom wall of the main housing 1.
[0044] In this embodiment, the buffer protrusion 4 includes a conical protrusion. In other embodiments, the buffer protrusion 4 may be configured as a frustum-shaped protrusion or the like, depending on actual needs; this is not limited here.
[0045] Optionally, the walls of the water tank 21 extend vertically at an angle. When the pet drinks, its head enters the water tank 21 from the lower side of the drinking spout 22, and the water splashed up by licking will land on the wall of the water tank 21 on the higher side, and then flow down the wall of the water tank 21 into the water tank 21. Setting the walls of the water tank 21 to extend downward at an angle facilitates the downward flow of water along the wall and its collection in the water tank 21.
[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the cross-sectional area of the lower end of the main housing 1 is larger than that of the upper end of the main housing 1. By increasing the cross-sectional area of the lower end of the main housing 1, the stability of the main housing 1 can be increased, reducing the risk of tipping over due to pet collisions or the weight of the pet water fountain itself. It can also increase the capacity of the receiving chamber 11, allowing the receiving chamber 11 to store more water, reducing the frequency of water refills by the owner, and making it easier to use.
[0047] Optionally, the pet water fountain also includes a filter. The filter is located on the side of the through-hole 23 opposite to the water tank and within the receiving chamber 11. Water from the water tank 21 flows into the receiving chamber 11 through the filter. When water flows out of the water tank 21 through the through-hole 23, it first flows onto the filter, is filtered, and then flows into the receiving chamber 11. The water in the water tank 21 may be contaminated by pet hair, air dust, etc. By installing the filter, the water flow can be filtered to prevent impurities from entering the receiving chamber 11. Water that does enter the receiving chamber 11 is then returned to the water tank 21, ensuring that the pet has access to clean drinking water.
[0048] Optionally, the pet water fountain also includes anti-slip components. These components are located on the side of the main housing 1 facing the ground. By including anti-slip components, the friction between the main housing 1 and the ground is increased, preventing the pet water fountain from tipping over during use, thus ensuring its stability and safety. The anti-slip components also provide cushioning, reducing wear and tear on the ground and preventing noise.
[0049] For example, the anti-slip component includes an anti-slip rubber pad.
[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
