Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of barrel structure, and more specifically to a barrel structure for a pet water dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] Current pet water fountains typically have only one water tank. A pump draws water from the tank into a drinking dish above, and a circulation system recirculates the water between the tank and the drinking dish. However, because the drinking dish accumulates stale water that mixes with fresh water over time, bacteria, algae, and microorganisms can easily grow. Frequent consumption of this water by pets can lead to health problems such as diarrhea and urinary tract infections, especially for young or senior pets with weaker immune systems. Secondly, hair, food scraps, and other impurities that easily get into the drinking dish cannot be effectively separated, repeatedly contaminating the filter with the circulating water, significantly shortening the filter's lifespan and increasing maintenance costs. Users need to frequently disassemble and clean the entire water tank, a cumbersome process that can lead to secondary contamination due to incomplete cleaning of hard-to-reach areas.

[0025] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0026] The embodiments of this utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a tank structure for a pet water fountain includes a first tank 100 and a second tank 200. An open portion 110 is provided at the top of the first tank 100. The second tank 200 is disposed in the first body through the open portion 110, so that the second tank 200 is sleeved in the middle of the first tank 100. The sleeved connection means that the inner wall of the first tank 100 partially or completely covers the outer wall of the second tank 200, and a receiving cavity 400 is formed between the first tank 100 and the second tank 200. A first flow channel 120 is provided at the top of the first tank 100, and a second flow channel 210 is provided at the top of the second tank 200.

[0027] In this application, the first tank 100 is used to store purified water or clean water. Then, the second tank 200 is inserted into the opening 110 of the first passage and fixed inside, forming a nested structure between the first tank 100 and the second tank 200. At this time, purified water or clean water enters the cavity 400 formed between the first tank 100 and the second tank 200. Then, in the working state, a water pump 330 draws the clean water from the cavity 400 through the first flow channel 120 to the outside for the pet to drink. In this embodiment, the first flow channel 120 acts as a water outlet. When the water becomes contaminated or needs to be replaced, external water is discharged into the second tank 200 through the second channel 210. The first channel 120 acts as a water inlet. It should be noted that this is when the first tank 100 is used to store pure water or clean water, and the second tank 200 is used to store sewage. The functions of the first channel 120 and the second channel 210 should be understood to be completely opposite when the functions of the first tank 100 and the second tank 200 are interchanged. The above situation should also be within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, this application saves the space occupied by the entire barrel structure by setting up a first barrel 100 and a second barrel 200 that are nested inside and out. The first barrel 100 is used to hold pure water or clean water, while the external sewage is collected into the second barrel 200, so that the clean water and sewage are isolated from each other. When sewage needs to be poured out, the second barrel 200 can be taken out from the first barrel, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0029] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a support portion 130 is provided at the edge of the open portion 110. The support portion 130 is integrally formed with the side wall of the first barrel 100. An extension portion 220 protrudes outward from the top of the side wall of the second barrel 200. When the second barrel 200 is disposed in the first tube through the open portion 110, the extension portion 220 abuts against the upper part of the support portion 130, thereby allowing the second barrel 200 to be fitted into the middle of the first barrel 100. When adding clean water to the first barrel 100, it is only necessary to move the second barrel 200 out of the first tube through the open portion 110, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0030] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first flow channel 120 is disposed on the support portion 130. Thus, when it is necessary to extract clean water from the first tank 100, it is only necessary to insert the water outlet pipe 331 into the first flow channel 120 and then use the water pump 330 to extract the clean water from the first tank 100 to the outside.

[0031] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a detachable filter plate 230 is provided on the top of the second barrel 200, and the second flow channel 210 is provided on the top of the filter plate 230. In this way, when external sewage flows back into the second barrel 200 through the top of the second barrel 200, the filter plate 230 will filter the pet hair or food residue in the sewage and make it stay on the filter plate 230. When it is necessary to clean the filter plate 230, simply remove the filter plate 230 from the top of the second barrel 200 and rinse it with clean water.

[0032] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an upwardly protruding limiting groove 221 is provided on the extension portion 220, and hanging ears 231 that match the shape of the limiting groove 221 are provided on both sides of the filter plate 230. When the filter plate 230 is placed on the top of the second barrel 200, the hanging ears 231 are embedded in the limiting groove 221, thereby preventing the filter plate 230 from shaking between the circumference and the second barrel 200 when facing the impact of sewage, thus improving the stability of the connection between the second barrel 200 and the filter plate 230.

[0033] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, a circulation device 300 is provided above the first barrel 100 and the second barrel 200. The circulation device 300 includes a connecting plate 310 and a drinking tray 320. The connecting plate 310 covers the top of the first barrel 100 and the second barrel 200. A water pump 330 is provided between the connecting plate 310 and the drinking tray 320. The water pump 330 includes an outlet pipe 331 and an inlet pipe 332. The outlet pipe 331 passes through the first flow channel 120 and extends into the first barrel 100. The inlet pipe 332 is connected to the drinking tray 320. In this way, the water pump 330 draws clean water from the first barrel 100 to the drinking tray 320.

[0034] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, a drain outlet 321 is provided at the bottom of the drinking tray 320. The drain outlet 321 is located above the second bucket 200. In this way, the sewage in the drinking tray 320 can be discharged into the second bucket 200 simply by opening the drain outlet 321.

[0035] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, an inclined surface 232 is provided on the top of the filter plate 230, the drain outlet 321 is located directly above the inclined surface 232, and the second flow channel 210 is located at the end of the inclined surface 232 in the inclined direction. In this way, when the filter plate 230 faces the sewage discharged from the drain outlet 321, the inclined surface 232 can buffer the impact of the sewage. Then the buffered sewage flows into the second flow channel 210 through the inclined surface 232 and finally flows into the second tank 200.

[0036] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cross-section of the first barrel 100 is an isosceles trapezoid, and the angle between the side wall and the bottom surface of the first barrel 100 is an acute angle. In this way, the entire first barrel 100 has a shape that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom so that the receiving cavity 400 between the first barrel 100 and the second barrel 200 can store more clean water.

[0037] The details of the above exemplary embodiments are provided, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Therefore, it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within the present invention.
