Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet water dispenser technology, specifically a pet water dispenser with a rotating water bowl. Background Technology

[0002] Many people like to keep pets such as cats and dogs at home, and pet water fountains have become a pet product with increasing demand. Since cats and dogs prefer to drink running water, running water pet water fountains are a popular type of pet water fountain.

[0003] For example, a pet water fountain disclosed in Chinese utility model patent No. CN202222174353.6 includes a water storage tank with a cavity inside for storing drinking water; a water supply device detachably fixed to one side of the water storage tank; the water supply device includes: a water outlet pipe with its outlet located in a drinking tray above the cavity; a water supply pipe extending into the cavity through a connecting port formed on the drinking tray; and a water pump with its inlet end connected to the water supply pipe and its outlet end connected to the water outlet pipe. The aforementioned pet water fountains have independent components that are fixedly connected in a relatively detachable manner, making them easy to clean or wash. However, the water in the drinking tray cannot be automatically poured out; users need to manually disassemble the tray to empty the water, which affects the user experience. Furthermore, the water tray uses a weighing sensor to detect the water level, but the weighing sensor is very sensitive to weight. If a pet accidentally touches the tray while drinking, it can cause the weighing sensor to misjudge the weight, affecting the accuracy of the water level detection.

[0004] Therefore, further improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] See Figures 1-8 The pet water fountain with a rotating water bowl includes a body and a water bowl 1. The body is equipped with a drive motor 2, and the water bowl 1 is equipped with a water level detector. The water level detector has at least two detectors and conducts electricity through the liquid inside the water bowl 1 to detect the water level. The drive motor 2 is connected to the water bowl 1, and the water bowl 1 rotates on the body under the drive of the drive motor 2.

[0028] This embodiment utilizes at least two water level detectors that are electrically connected to the liquid inside the water bowl 1 to detect the water level in the water bowl 1. This allows users to easily know the liquid level in the water bowl 1, and the water level detection is highly accurate with a low false alarm rate. In addition, the drive motor 2 drives the water bowl 1, enabling it to automatically rotate and move on the machine body, thus allowing the water bowl 1 to automatically pour out the liquid. This effectively avoids the drawback of users having to manually disassemble the water bowl 1 to pour out the liquid, improving the user experience.

[0029] The machine body is equipped with an electronic control board 3, which is electrically connected to the drive motor 2 and at least two water level detectors.

[0030] In this embodiment, the electronic control board 3 can control the working state of the drive motor 2 so that the drive motor 2 outputs forward and reverse rotation forces so that the water bowl 1 can reciprocate and rotate on the machine body. At the same time, the electronic control board 3 can also receive water level signals detected by at least two water level detectors and perform corresponding operations.

[0031] The machine body is equipped with a mounting cylinder 4, the water bowl 1 is mounted on the mounting cylinder 4, and the drive motor 2 is connected to the mounting cylinder 4 for driving.

[0032] An assembly bracket 5 is fixedly installed inside the machine body. The drive motor 2 is fixedly installed on the assembly bracket 5, and its drive end is connected to a transmission component 6. The transmission component 6 is fixedly connected to the assembly sleeve 4.

[0033] In this embodiment, the drive motor 2 is fixed by the assembly bracket 5, which can improve the assembly stability of the drive motor 2 and avoid vibration problems during operation. When the drive motor 2 is working, it drives the transmission component 6 to rotate. When the transmission component 6 rotates, it drives the assembly sleeve 4 to rotate together. When the assembly sleeve 4 rotates, it can drive the water bowl 1 to flip and move.

[0034] The transmission component 6 is provided with a motor connection part 7, and the driving end of the drive motor 2 is drivenly connected to the motor connection part 7. The transmission component 6 and the mounting sleeve 4 are fixedly connected by fasteners or buckles.

[0035] In this embodiment, the motor connection part 7 is a motor connection hole. The drive end of the drive motor 2 is positioned and inserted into the motor connection part 7 so that the drive motor 2 can directly apply the driving force to the transmission member 6. In addition, the transmission member 6 is provided with a transmission member fixing hole, and the mounting sleeve 4 is provided with a mounting sleeve fixing hole. The mounting sleeve fixing hole and the transmission member fixing hole correspond to each other and are fixedly engaged by fasteners, so that the transmission member 6 and the mounting sleeve 4 can achieve a stable engagement.

[0036] The transmission component 6 is provided with a transmission positioning part 8, and the mounting bracket 5 is provided with a first positioning part 9 and a second positioning part 10. The first positioning part 9 and the second positioning part 10 are mutually spaced and cooperate with each other. When the transmission component 6 rotates, it is positioned on the first positioning part 9 and the second positioning part 10 respectively by the transmission positioning part 8, so as to limit the flipping position of the water bowl 1.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first positioning part 9 and the second positioning part 10 are arranged in a ring at intervals around the drive end of the drive motor 2. When the water bowl 1 is flipped to a horizontal state (i.e., the bowl surface is facing up), the transmission positioning part 8 acts on the first positioning part 9, and the drive motor 2 stops outputting power. When the water bowl 1 is flipped to an inclined state (i.e., the bowl surface is facing down), the transmission positioning part 8 acts on the second positioning part 10, and the drive motor 2 stops outputting power, thereby causing the water bowl 1 to reciprocate in both horizontal and inclined states.

[0038] The water bowl 1 is fixedly mounted on the mounting sleeve 4, or the water bowl 1 can be detachably mounted on the mounting sleeve 4.

[0039] That is, in this embodiment, the water bowl 1 can be fixedly assembled to the mounting sleeve 4 in a non-removable manner. Alternatively, the water bowl 1 can be assembled to the mounting sleeve 4 in a detachable manner.

[0040] In this embodiment, the water bowl 1 is preferably designed to be detachable.

[0041] Specifically, the mounting cylinder 4 is provided with a press-and-rebound buckle 11, the water bowl 1 is provided with a mounting protrusion 12, and the mounting protrusion 12 is provided with a buckle 13. The water bowl 1 is mounted in the mounting cylinder 4 through the mounting protrusion 12 and is pressed and engaged or disengaged from the press-and-rebound buckle 11 through the buckle 13.

[0042] In this embodiment, the water bowl 1 can be disassembled and installed on the mounting sleeve 4 and the press-rebound buckle 11 by pressing and disassembling it through the cooperation of the mounting protrusion 12 and the buckle 13. The pressing and disassembly method of the water bowl 1 is simple in structure and easy to operate, allowing users to quickly and conveniently complete the disassembly and assembly of the water bowl 1, thereby improving the user experience. Moreover, after the water bowl 1 is assembled, the mounting sleeve 4 can cover the periphery of the mounting protrusion 12, and the press-rebound buckle 11 can lock the buckle 13, thereby effectively improving the assembly stability of the water bowl 1 and avoiding the problems of displacement and loosening of the water bowl 1 during use. It is highly practical.

[0043] In addition, the pressing and snapping of the rebound buckle 11 and the latch 13 provides a certain tactile feedback and sound when they are engaged or disengaged, which can indicate the disassembly and assembly status of the water bowl 1 and the main body, allowing users to know the disassembly and assembly status of the water bowl 1 and further improving the user experience.

[0044] In this embodiment, the mounting protrusion 12 and the buckle 13 are sequentially arranged on the rear side of the water bowl 1, and the mounting sleeve 4 is provided with a sleeve hole 19 on the rear side. The press-and-rebound buckle 11 is assembled into the sleeve hole 19. During assembly, the water bowl 1 is inserted into the mounting sleeve 4 through the mounting protrusion 12 on the rear side, and the mounting protrusion 12 is fastened to the press-and-rebound buckle 11 by the buckle 13 on the rear side.

[0045] The body includes a first housing 14 and a second housing 15. The first housing 14 and the second housing 15 are fixedly connected by fasteners or buckles. The first housing 14 or the second housing 15 is provided with an assembly through hole 16. The assembly sleeve 4 is placed on the assembly through hole 16. The assembly protrusion 12 is pressed and installed in the assembly sleeve 4 through the assembly through hole 16.

[0046] In this embodiment, the assembly through hole 16 is formed on the side wall of the first housing 14. The assembly sleeve 4 is cylindrical and has a flat portion on one side. The assembly sleeve 4 corresponds to the assembly through hole 16. The assembly protrusion 12 is cylindrical and has a flat portion on its inner side. After passing through the assembly through hole 16, the assembly protrusion 12 is tightly inserted into the assembly sleeve 4. The assembly protrusion 12 and the assembly sleeve 4 are positioned by the flat portion, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of the assembly protrusion 12 deflecting after assembly. Moreover, it also enables the assembly sleeve 4 to effectively transmit power to the assembly protrusion 12, reducing the problem of slippage between the two during force transmission.

[0047] At least two water level detectors are weakly conductive detectors, including a first water level detector 17 and a second water level detector 18. The water bowl 1 has two mounting holes at the same height. The first water level detector 17 and the second water level detector 18 are respectively mounted on the mounting holes. The electronic control board 3 is electrically connected to the first water level detector 17 and the second water level detector 18 respectively.

[0048] In this embodiment, since both the first water level detector 17 and the second water level detector 18 are weakly conductive detectors, and their voltage is between 3V and 16V when they are working, the first water level detector 17 and the second water level detector 18 will not cause electric shock to the pet when they conduct electricity through the liquid in the water bowl 1, making it safe to use.

[0049] When the water level in the water bowl 1 is higher than or equal to the height of the first water level detector 17 and the second water level detector 18, the first water level detector 17 and the second water level detector 18 are electrically connected through the liquid in the water bowl 1. That is, the first water level detector 17 and the second water level detector 18 are electrically connected through the liquid in the water bowl 1, so that the first water level detector 17 and the second water level detector 18 conduct weak electricity to each other and send a full water signal to the electronic control board 3.

[0050] When the water level in the water bowl 1 is lower than the horizontal height between the first water level detector 17 and the second water level detector 18, there is no liquid conducting between the first water level detector 17 and the second water level detector 18, the first water level detector 17 and the second water level detector 18 are short-circuited, and a water shortage signal is sent to the electronic control board 3.

[0051] When the electronic control board 3 receives a full water signal or a water shortage signal, it will issue an alarm sound or control the relevant water replenishment device to stop or start water replenishment.

[0052] The above describes the preferred embodiments of this utility model, illustrating and describing its basic principles, main features, and advantages. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of this utility model as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
