[0038] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows:

[0039] Before feeding, add clean water to the storage box 08 through the overflow pipe 07 until the support box 01 and the storage box 08 are full. Then, move it to the designated location by manual labor or by the mobile vehicle 02.

[0040] After entering the designated position, the storage bowl 03, being made of transparent material, will unconsciously peck at or touch it while drinking, causing it to move downwards. This, in turn, moves the moving tube 21 downwards, compressing the space within the sleeve 20. Water from the sleeve 20 then flows through the moving tube 21 into the storage bowl 03. Then, under the action of a spring, the moving tube 21 rises, returning the storage bowl 03 to its original position, increasing the space within the sleeve 20. At this point, external water flows through the guide tube 11... After passing through the water supply pipe 16 and the volume chamber 24, the water enters the sleeve 20 for replenishment, completing a cycle of water supply and achieving multiple small water supplies to reduce water accumulation, thereby avoiding excessive water deterioration and ensuring drinking safety. At the same time, when necessary, the water can be pumped by the water pump 31, so that the water in the support box 01 passes through the guide pipe 11, the extraction pipe 27, the pump outlet pipe 30, the guide pipe 11, and the water supply pipe 16 and is forced into the water tank 04. Then, it overflows through the pressure pipe 28 for forced replenishment, ensuring drinking safety.

[0041] Within a certain period of time, the valve on the return pipe 15 can be opened, allowing the water accumulated in the storage bowl 03 to enter the sewage chamber 14 through the hose 25 and the return pipe 15 for temporary storage. Alternatively, it can be discharged at a fixed point through the drain pipe 29 to complete the cleaning work.

[0042] Furthermore, after being collected by the expansion sleeve 06 and filtered by the filter box 19, rainwater can be collected, reducing the maintenance of the device. And after being moved by the mobile vehicle 02, it can return to its original location, making it convenient to add water later.

[0043] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
