Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet drinking technology, and more specifically, to an adjustable pet water dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] Pet water fountains are devices that provide pets with clean, fresh drinking water. Pets refer to animals kept by people for emotional or psychological reasons, rather than economic ones. Traditionally, pets refer to mammals or birds, kept for enjoyment and companionship. In real life, pets include fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and even plants, kept for their beauty, companionship, and to relieve stress.

[0003] Currently, with the increasing number of pet owners, pet water fountains are becoming more and more common as a means of ensuring pets' drinking health. However, existing pet water fountains are generally of relatively fixed height and are not easy to adjust. This causes pets to bend over to drink for long periods of time, which can put pressure on their cervical spine, shoulder, and back joints and affect their health. At the same time, the water level gradually decreases, which is also inconvenient for long-term drinking. Therefore, it is necessary to propose an adjustable pet water fountain to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an adjustable pet water fountain, which aims to improve the existing pet water fountains.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable pet water dispenser, including a water storage structure 100 and a water outlet structure 200.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4 The water storage structure 100 includes a support base 110, a water storage cavity 120, and an adjusting component 150. A limiting component 140 is fixed around the top surface of the support base 110. The water storage cavity 120 is slidably connected to the limiting component 140. The adjusting component 150 is installed between the support base 110 and the water storage cavity 120.

[0026] The support base 110 is frustum-shaped, with a groove 111 at its bottom. This frustum-shaped design increases the contact area with the ground and lowers the center of gravity, making it more stable. The groove 111 also allows the knob 152 to be placed within it, maintaining a flat bottom for easy placement. The water storage cavity 120 has a circumferentially formed protrusion 130 inside, with a sliding groove 131 inside the protrusion 130. The limiting member 140 includes a support plate 141 and a limiting plate 142. The support plate 141 is circumferentially fixed to the top surface of the support base 110 and inserted into the sliding groove 131. The limiting plate 142 is fixed to the support plate 141 and slidably connected inside the sliding groove 131. The limiting member 140 limits the water storage cavity 120 during adjustment, preventing it from detaching from the threaded rod 151 and affecting its use.

[0027] The adjusting component 150 includes a threaded rod 151 and a threaded tube 153. The threaded rod 151 rotates through the groove 111. One end of the threaded rod 151 is keyed to a knob 152. One end of the threaded tube 153 is sealed. The threaded tube 153 passes through and is fixed inside the water storage cavity 120. The threaded rod 151 is threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded tube 153. Here, by rotating the threaded rod 151 with the knob 152, the water storage cavity 120 can be adjusted up and down using the threaded tube 153.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5 The water outlet structure 200 includes an upper cover plate 210, a housing 230, and a water outlet component 260. The upper cover plate 210 is snapped onto the top surface of the water storage cavity 120. A drinking trough 211 is formed on the top surface of the upper cover plate 210. An overflow hole 212 is provided on the side of the drinking trough 211. The housing 230 is installed through the interior of the upper cover plate 210. A partition 231 is fixed inside the housing 230. An infrared sensor 240 is installed on the housing 230. The water outlet component 260 is installed at the bottom of the housing 230.

[0029] The water outlet component 260 includes a miniature water pump 261 and a collection chamber 264. The miniature water pump 261 is installed at the bottom of the housing 230. The inlet end of the miniature water pump 261 is connected to an inlet pipe 262, which extends into the interior of the water storage chamber 120. The outlet end of the miniature water pump 261 is connected to an outlet pipe 263. The collection chamber 264 is embedded and fixed on the housing 230. The surface of the collection chamber 264 has an outlet 265. The outlet pipe 263 passes through the partition 231 and communicates with the collection chamber 264. Here, the miniature water pump 261 and the inlet pipe 262 can be used to transport drinking water inside the water storage chamber 120 to the interior of the collection chamber 264 through the outlet pipe 263, and then flow into the interior of the drinking water tank 211 through the outlet 265.

[0030] A battery 250 is installed on the partition 231. The battery 250 is electrically connected to the infrared sensor 240 and the miniature water pump 261. An interface for charging the battery 250 is installed on the outside of the housing 230. The infrared sensor 240 is also connected to a controller, which is a microcontroller or PLC. The miniature water pump 261 is electrically connected to a relay, and the controller is signal-connected to the relay. When the pet drinks, the infrared sensor 240 detects the target object and transmits the detected signal to the controller. The controller processes and judges the signal and sends a control signal to the relay on the miniature water pump 261 to control the miniature water pump 261 to turn it on or off. This allows for timely water replenishment when the pet drinks, making drinking more convenient. The overflow hole 212 has a V-shaped cross-section and is equipped with a filter screen 220. The filter screen 220 filters the overflowing water, reducing the amount of pet hair and improving safety.

[0031] Specifically, the working principle of this adjustable pet water fountain is as follows: During use, the threaded rod 151 can be rotated via knob 152 according to the pet's height. Under the action of limiter 140, the threaded tube 153 moves the water storage chamber 120 upwards, thereby changing the overall height of the water fountain. When the pet drinks, the infrared sensor 240 detects the target object, and the detected signal is transmitted to the controller. The controller processes and judges the signal and sends a control signal to the relay on the micro water pump 261, controlling the micro water pump 261 to turn on. This allows drinking water inside the water storage chamber 120 to enter the drinking trough 211 through the outlet 265. Water higher than the overflow hole 212 will flow into the water storage chamber 120 through the overflow hole 212 and the filter screen 220. This allows the water fountain to be adjusted according to the pet's height, reducing the angle at which the pet lowers its head, which is more beneficial to the pet's health. It also makes it easier to replenish water during drinking, making it more flexible and convenient to use.

[0032] It should be noted that the specific models and specifications of the infrared sensor 240, the storage battery 250, and the micro water pump 261 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.

[0033] The power supply and operating principle of the infrared sensor 240, the battery 250, and the miniature water pump 261 are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
