[0002] With social development and improved living standards, people's requirements for the quality and functionality of pet supplies have also increased. As an important part of pet supplies, pet water bowls have also come in a wide variety of types.

[0003] Currently, pet bowls on the market include traditional open bowls and floating pet bowls. Traditional open bowls often cause splashing and wet fur when pets drink, especially for long-haired pets such as dogs and cats. The fixed distance between the water surface and the rim of a traditional open bowl means that the pet's chin fur can easily come into contact with the water surface when drinking. Long-term use may lead to damp fur, bacterial growth, and even skin diseases. While existing floating pet bowls can solve the problems of open bowls to some extent, the color and other structures of the float itself make it difficult to visually observe the cleanliness of the water and the presence of foreign objects when the pet drinks, and they are also not always thoroughly cleaned.

[0004] To address these issues, this invention provides a suspended pet bowl that effectively solves the aforementioned problems. It features a simple structure, easy observation, and convenient cleaning. It can effectively monitor the cleanliness of the liquid and limit the drinking area, reducing the risk of pets getting their fur wet, and further improving pet drinking hygiene and user experience.

[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 5 A floating pet bowl, comprising:

[0036] Bowl body 1, the bowl body 1 is provided with a groove 11, the groove 11 is used to hold liquid;

[0037] A floating body 2, which is at least partially transparent, is located within the groove 11, and the interior of the groove 11 can be observed through the transparent portion.

[0038] The floating body 2 is provided with an opening 21. When the floating body 2 is located in the groove 11 and the groove 11 contains liquid, the opening 21 is used to allow the liquid in the groove 11 to pass through the opening 21 and enter the upper part of the floating body 2.

[0039] The above-described structure provides a simple, easy-to-observe, and easy-to-clean floating pet bowl. It effectively monitors the cleanliness of the liquid and limits the drinking area, reducing the risk of pet hair getting wet and further improving pet drinking hygiene and user experience. For example, when the float 2 is located in the groove 11 and the groove 11 contains liquid, some liquid will always pass through the opening 21 to remain above the float 2, thus continuously providing drinking water to the pet while minimizing the amount of water wetting its fur and reducing water splashing. Furthermore, the transparent portion allows observation of whether there is dirt inside the groove 11, and also facilitates timely cleaning of the groove 11.

[0040] In this embodiment, the transparent portion is made of glass.

[0041] With the above-mentioned structure, the transparent part can have good light transmittance and visual effect, and will not yellow or become oxidized after long-term use. Furthermore, due to the properties of glass itself, it has a wider range of applications compared to other materials such as plastic and can improve the food safety of pets.

[0042] Glass typically has a light transmittance of 85%-92%, higher than the 70%-85% of ordinary plastics. Furthermore, it has excellent optical uniformity and will not experience visual distortion when filled with water, unlike plastic materials. Plastics are prone to aging and yellowing under ultraviolet light or chemical substances, while the chemical inertness of glass allows it to remain transparent for a long time. At the same time, it does not pose the risk of microplastic migration that plastic materials are prone to produce.

[0043] Optionally, the glass is high borosilicate glass. By using high borosilicate glass, better buoyancy can be provided by utilizing its lower density compared to ordinary glass, and its compressive strength can reach 100-150MPa (ordinary glass is about 60-70MPa), and its bending strength is about 2-3 times that of ordinary glass. It is not easy to break due to external impact, and the risk of breakage caused by external forces can be better reduced.

[0044] It should be understood that the material constituting the transparent portion can also be other transparent materials such as transparent plastic and transparent ceramic.

[0045] In this embodiment, the floating body 2 is a completely transparent structure.

[0046] With the above-mentioned structure, when the float 2 needs to be cleaned, its fully transparent structure allows for convenient and comprehensive observation of the environment inside the groove 11, facilitating cleaning. Furthermore, the fully transparent structure of the float 2 itself allows users to visually observe whether the dirt has been cleaned, effectively avoiding the problem of dirt accumulation in traditional floats 2 and reducing the probability of pets getting sick due to unclean drinking water.

[0047] Optionally, the float 2 is made entirely of glass. This design effectively avoids the problems of plastic-based floats being unable to undergo high-temperature sterilization and the potential for dishwasher detergent to corrode or leave residues on the plastic. This makes the float 2 resistant to high temperatures and corrosion, further improving the safety of the product in this application.

[0048] Optionally, the floating body 2 is entirely made of food-grade borosilicate glass.

[0049] In this embodiment, the floating body 2 has a cavity 22 inside, which is used to contain air.

[0050] By setting the above structure, the volume of displaced liquid can be increased, and the average density of the float 2 can be reduced, so that the float 2 can float better on the liquid in the groove 11 under the action of buoyancy, thus achieving a better floating effect, further improving the user experience when pets drink water, and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0051] In this embodiment, the floating body 2 is integrally sealed and molded.

[0052] The aforementioned structure avoids the seams and gaps that occur with traditional splicing or assembly methods, fundamentally preventing external liquids from seeping into the cavity 22 inside the float 2. Insufficient sealing can lead to air leakage or liquid ingress, causing a decrease in buoyancy or even failure of the float 2. The one-piece molded structure can stably maintain the volume and air content of the cavity 22 over a long period, ensuring the float 2 always possesses reliable buoyancy. Splicing methods may leave adhesives, sealing rings, or other connecting components at the seams, which can affect overall transparency or cause appearance defects due to aging or discoloration. The one-piece molded structure eliminates the need for additional connectors, achieving a completely transparent and unobstructed visual effect, enhancing the product's aesthetics and visual appeal. Simultaneously, the one-piece molded structure also makes it less prone to accumulating dirt and grime, facilitating cleaning.

[0053] In this embodiment, the cavity 22 accounts for 50%-80% of the overall volume of the floating body 2.

[0054] By setting up the above structure, it is possible to ensure that the floating body 2 is provided with sufficient buoyancy while ensuring the overall structural strength, preventing the risk of the floating body 2 breaking due to external forces during daily use. In addition, it can also effectively improve the overall transparency of the floating body 2, thereby increasing its visual appeal to a certain extent.

[0055] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the cavity 22 is shaped like a soup spoon. By making the cross-sectional shape of the cavity 22 shaped like a soup spoon, the buoyancy of the float 2 can be effectively increased, while also ensuring the convenience of use for pets when drinking water.

[0056] In this embodiment, the floating body 2 is provided with a recessed portion 23, and the opening 21 is located inside the recessed portion 23.

[0057] By designing the above structure, it is possible to ensure that the upper surface of the water entering the float 2 is not higher than the upper surface of the float 2 while making it easy for the user to grip. This prevents the float from sinking due to excessive water intake, effectively increasing the practicality of the float 2 and improving the user experience.

[0058] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the recessed portion 23 is spoon-shaped. With the above structure, the relatively flat part of the recessed portion 23 is conducive to the spread of water entering the upper surface, while the steep part can effectively prevent the water from rising above the upper surface of the float 2.

[0059] In this embodiment, the outer periphery of the floating body 2 is circular, and the opening 21 is located at the center of the floating body 2.

[0060] The above structure reduces the risk of pet injury and breakage due to the sharp edges of the polygonal structure. The opening 21, located in the center of the floating body 2, also allows the pet to drink from any direction. The design without sharp edges also ensures that there are no dead corners inside the bowl 1 for cleaning. The transparent material allows the location of stains to be seen directly. When cleaning, you only need to wipe around the circumference, which is easier to clean than the right-angle gaps of a square bowl.

[0061] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the bowl body 1 is provided with a gripping part 12.

[0062] The above-described structure allows users to easily grip the bowl 1, making it convenient for them to move the bowl 1 and reducing the risk of it accidentally slipping when moving it.

[0063] Optionally, the gripping part 12 is formed by protruding outward from the outer surface of the bowl body 1.

[0064] In this embodiment, the bottom of the bowl 1, excluding the edge, protrudes downward to form a base 13.

[0065] By designing the above structure, the contact area between the bottom of the bowl 1 and the ground can be reduced, effectively avoiding the risk of mold growth on the bottom of the flat-bottomed bowl due to long-term contact with the ground, while also reducing odor and dirt accumulation.

[0066] In this embodiment, the base 13 has a continuous structure and a drain outlet 131 is provided on the base 13.

[0067] By making the base 13 a continuous structure, the risk of dirt accumulation in the gaps of the traditional segmented base 13 can be eliminated. In addition, the drain outlet 131 can also be set so that when the bowl 1 is cleaned by the dishwasher, the water accumulated in the base 13 can be discharged through the drain outlet 131, which improves the user experience.

[0068] Optionally, the base 13 has an overall continuous annular structure.

[0069] In this embodiment, the bowl body 1 is trapezoidal in shape.

[0070] By designing the above structure, the center of gravity of the bowl 1 can be effectively reduced, making it less prone to tipping over.

[0071] For example, in daily life, pets may bump into the floating pet bowl of this application while playing at home. If the center of the floating pet bowl is too high, it is very easy to cause accidents such as tipping over due to impact. By setting the bowl body 1 to a trapezoidal shape, the risk of tipping over due to impacts from pets playing and other accidents can be effectively reduced.

[0072] In this embodiment, the rim of the bowl 1 protrudes inward.

[0073] The above structure allows users to grip the object with their thumb, and the inward protrusion also effectively prevents the float 2 from coming out of the groove 11.

[0074] Optionally, the size of the bowl 1 is adapted to the size of the floating body 2. By adapting the size of the bowl 1 to the size of the floating body 2, the floating body 2 can be better prevented from accidentally falling out of the groove 11.

[0075] The above description provides one or more embodiments in conjunction with specific content, and does not imply that the specific implementation of this utility model is limited to these descriptions. Any methods or structures that are similar to or identical to those of this utility model, or any technical deductions or substitutions made based on the concept of this utility model, should be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
