The water pipe 12 extends through the inner cavity 19 to the top of the inner side of the water storage tank 7 and is fixedly connected to the water storage tank 7.

[0035] The inner cavity 19 and the movable end of the rotary joint 18 are jointly equipped with a rotating assembly. The rotating assembly includes a motor 20, and the motor 20 is fixedly installed inside the inner cavity 19. The drive end of the motor 20 is fixedly connected to a drive gear 21.

[0040] A lid 9 is threaded onto the outer surface of the top inlet of the water storage tank 7, and the lid 9 has a sealing effect on the water storage tank 7.

[0041] Working principle: When a small animal approaches the water dish, the infrared proximity sensor 6 detects its approach and sends a signal to the controller 8. The controller 8 controls the solenoid valve 5 to open for a set time. After the solenoid valve 5 opens, the water in the water tank 7 is drained into the water trough 2 and the bottom opening of the water trough 2 by gravity through the connecting pipe 4. After the set time, the solenoid valve 5 closes. After the animal drinks, it leaves the detection range of the infrared proximity sensor 6 and sends a signal to the controller 8. The controller 8 controls the motor 20 to run. The motor 20 drives the drive gear 21 to rotate. The drive gear 21 drives the rotating joint 18 through the driven gear 22. The rotating end rotates, thereby driving the movable seat 13 to rotate, moving the mounting slot 16 below the water tank 2. The water in the water tank 2 and the opening falls into the mounting slot 16. Then, the controller 8 controls the water pump 17 to run. The water pump 17 transports the water in the mounting slot 16 back to the water storage tank 7 through the flow channel 14, the rotary joint 18, and the water pipe 12. During this process, the water is purified when it passes through the activated carbon filter element 15. Then, the rotating assembly drives the movable seat 13 to reset through the rotary joint 18. When the activated carbon filter element 15 needs to be replaced, the cover 10 is removed, and then the replacement operation can be performed. At the same time, the whole system also needs to be cleaned regularly.
