Technical Field

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

[0002] Existing pet water fountains typically include a water tank, a drinking dish, and a water pump. The drinking dish is located on top of the water tank. The water pump draws water from the water tank into the drinking dish. A drain outlet is located at the edge of the drinking dish, allowing water to drain back into the water tank when the dish overflows. Additionally, a water outlet is usually located in the center of the drinking dish, covering the water pump's outlet. This outlet typically serves two purposes: first, to prevent excessive water flow from splashing out of the drinking dish; and second, to prevent external dust and pet hair from clogging the water outlet.

[0003] However, the above design has the following problems. First, if the existing pet water fountain needs to be moved, the consumer needs to squat down and then pick up the water fountain, which is very inconvenient. Second, because the edge of the water bowl is relatively high, a lot of pet hair that falls into the water bowl will accumulate near the water outlet and cannot be drained in time.

[0029] 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.

[0030] The embodiments of this utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings, such as... Figure 1As shown, the pet water fountain's water outlet structure includes a water tank 100 and a support 200. The support 200 covers the top of the water tank 100. A pump assembly 300 is disposed within the support 200. A drinking tray 400 is provided on the top of the support 200. An inlet channel 310 and an outlet channel 320 are provided within the support 200, respectively communicating with the pump assembly 300. The inlet channel 310 extends into... Inside the water storage tank 100, the water outlet channel 320 communicates with the drinking tray 400. The pump assembly 300 is used to pump water from the water storage tank 100 into the drinking tray 400. A water outlet 500 is provided on the drinking tray 400. The water outlet 500 communicates with the water outlet channel 320. The water outlet 500 passes through the drinking tray 400 and is detachably connected to the support base 200 through a snap-fit ​​structure. A gripping part 510 recessed towards the inside of the water outlet 500 is provided on the outer wall of the water outlet 500.

[0031] In the working state of this application, the water tank 100 and the support 200 are connected together. The water inlet channel 310 of the pump assembly 300 extends into the water tank 100, and the water outlet channel 320 communicates with the drinking tray 400. When the pet needs to drink water, the pump assembly 300 is activated. The pump assembly 300 draws water from the water tank 100 through the water inlet channel 310, and then fills the drinking tray 400 with water through the water outlet channel 320 and the water outlet component 500 for the pet to drink. Since the water outlet component 500 and the support 200 are detachably connected, when the pet water fountain needs to be moved, simply hold the water outlet component 500 and pull it upwards to lift and move the entire water fountain.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, this application provides a snap-fit ​​structure on the water outlet component 500, allowing the water outlet component 500 to pass through the drinking tray 400 and form a detachable connection with the support base 200. At the same time, by providing a grip part 510 on the outer wall of the water outlet component 500, consumers only need to hold the water outlet component 500 and pull it upwards to pick up and move the entire water dispenser. Thus, in this application, the water outlet component 500 not only realizes the function of dispensing water, but also realizes the function of holding a handle during the process of moving the water dispenser.

[0033] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the water outlet component 500 includes a connector 520 and an end cap 530. The end cap 530 covers the top of the connector 520. The snap-fit ​​structure is disposed between the connector 520 and the support 200. The end cap 530 includes a cover body 531, on which a water outlet hole 532 is provided. A connecting pipe 533 at the bottom of the cover body 531 communicates with the water outlet hole 532. The connecting pipe 533 is screwed onto the water outlet channel 320, thereby enabling the water outlet component 500 to communicate with the water outlet channel 320. When the pump assembly 300 is started, water in the water storage tank 100 is drawn out and then flows through the water outlet channel 320 and the connecting pipe 533. Pipe 533 finally flows out from the outlet to the drinking tray 400. In this embodiment, the reason for the separate water outlet component 500 is that the traditional water outlet component 500 and the support 200 are not fixedly connected. Therefore, in the prior art, when the water outlet channel 320 is blocked and needs to be cleaned, it is only necessary to directly remove the water outlet component 500. However, in this application, since the water outlet component 500 and the support 200 are detachably connected, it is inconvenient to directly remove the water outlet component 500 (especially when there is still water in the drinking tray 400). Therefore, when the water outlet channel 320 is blocked and needs to be cleaned, it is only necessary to unscrew the connecting pipe 533 and the water outlet channel 320.

[0034] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the support 200 has a recessed groove 210 in the middle, the pump body assembly 300 is disposed in the groove 210, the drinking tray 400 has a through groove 410 corresponding to the position of the groove 210, and the connector 520 passes through the through groove 410 and forms a detachable connection with the inner wall of the groove 210. By placing the pump body assembly 300 in the groove 210, the height of the entire product can be reduced, making it suitable for more placement scenarios.

[0035] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the snap-fit ​​structure includes a plurality of limiting plates 211 arranged at preset intervals on the inner wall of the groove 210, and a plurality of supporting plates 521 arranged on the outer wall of the connector 520. A notch 522 is provided next to the supporting plate 521 so that the limiting plate 211 can pass through. When the connector 520 needs to be connected to the groove 210, simply place the connector 520 in the groove 210 so that the limiting plate 211 can pass through the notch 522, and then rotate the connector 520 so that the supporting plate 521 is located at the bottom of the limiting plate 211. When the pet water fountain needs to be moved, hold the water outlet 500 and pull it up. The supporting plate 521 supports the bottom of the limiting plate 211, thereby allowing the entire support 200 to be lifted.

[0036] Preferred, combined Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a limiting groove 212 is provided on the limiting plate 211, and a protrusion 523 is provided above the support plate 521. When the support plate 521 is located at the bottom of the limiting plate 211, the protrusion 523 is engaged in the limiting groove 212. Thus, when the connector 520 is placed in the groove 210, the limiting groove 212 and the protrusion 523 are engaged with each other to prevent the connector 520 from rotating axially within the groove 210, thereby causing the support plate 521 to disengage from the bottom of the limiting plate 211.

[0037] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a drain outlet 213 is provided at the bottom of the groove 210, and the drain outlet 213 is located above the water tank. Several drain grooves 524 are provided on the outer wall of the connector 520 at preset intervals. When the connector 520 is placed in the groove 210, the drain grooves 524 are connected to the groove 210. In this way, the water in the drinking tray 400 flows into the groove 210 through the drain grooves 524, and then flows into the water tank through the drain outlet 213, thereby forming a water circulation. Compared with the prior art where the drain grooves 524 are set on the edge of the drinking tray 400, this application sets the drain grooves 524 on the water outlet 500. In this application, the three functions of water outlet, drainage and handle are integrated through a single water outlet 500.

[0038] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, a sealing element 220 is provided at the bottom of the drain outlet 213, and a rotary motor 230 is provided on one side of the sealing element 220. The sealing element 220 is sleeved on the drive shaft 231 of the rotary motor 230. A battery 240 and a control circuit board 250 are provided next to the rotary motor 230. The battery 240 is electrically connected to the rotary motor 230, the pump assembly 300, and the control circuit board 250. Under normal conditions, the rotary motor 230 controls the sealing element 220 to block the drain outlet 213. When the water in the drinking tray 400 needs to be drained, the rotary motor 230 is started to drive the drive shaft 231 to rotate, thereby removing the sealing element 220 from the drain outlet 213. In this way, the water in the drinking tray 400 flows into the groove 210 through the drain channel 524, and then flows into the water tank through the drain outlet 213.

[0039] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the water storage tank 100 includes a first tank body 110 and a second tank body 120. An open portion 111 is provided on the top of the first tank body 110, and the support seat 200 covers the open portion 111. The second tank body 120 is disposed in the first passage through the open portion 111, so that the second tank body 120 is sleeved on the middle of the first tank body 110, and a receiving cavity 130 is formed between the first tank body 110 and the second tank body 120. The water inlet channel 310 extends into the receiving cavity 130, and the drain outlet 213 is located above the second tank body 120.

[0040] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a support portion 112 is provided at the edge of the open portion 111. The support portion 112 is integrally formed with the side wall of the first barrel 110. An extension portion 121 protrudes outward from the top of the side wall of the second barrel 120. When the second barrel 120 is disposed in the first tube through the open portion 111, the extension portion 121 abuts against the upper part of the support portion 112, thereby allowing the second barrel 120 to be fitted into the middle of the first barrel 110. When adding clean water to the first barrel 110, it is only necessary to move the second barrel 120 out of the first tube through the open portion 111. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0041] 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.
