[0021] Figure 4 for Figure 3 A sectional view. Detailed Implementation

[0022] To better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the embodiments provided by this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1

[0023] As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a pet water fountain, including: a main unit 1, which contains a water storage tank 2, a main control module 16, a water pump motor 3, a water outlet 4, and a water tray 5. The water pump motor 3 is connected to the main control module 16. The water pump motor 3 is connected to the water storage tank 2 and communicates with the water outlet 4 through a water outlet channel. The water tray 5 is located below the water outlet 4. The main unit 1 also contains a water suction pump 6, which is connected to the main control module 16. One end of the water suction pump 6 is used to directly or indirectly connect to an external water pipe 7 and then connect to an external tank 8 through the external water pipe 7. The other end of the water suction pump 6 is connected to the water storage tank 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, the main unit 1 is the body of the pet water fountain, the water storage tank 2 is used to store the pet's drinking water, and the main control module 16 controls the various functions of the water fountain. The water pump motor 3 is used to pump the water in the water storage tank 2 to the water outlet 4, and then the water flows into the water tray 5 through the water outlet 4 for the pet to drink. The special feature is that the main unit 1 is equipped with a water suction pump 6, which is used to draw water from the stored water source in the external tank 8. Specifically, the water suction pump 6 is directly or indirectly connected to an external water pipe 7, and the other end of the external water pipe 7 is located in the external tank 8. When the water fountain tank reports a water shortage (the main unit 1 has a built-in water level sensing device), the water suction pump 6 is started to draw water from the external water tank into the water fountain. After a certain period of time, the water suction pump 6 is automatically turned off. When the water shortage is reported again, the water suction pump 6 is restarted. This cycle is repeated to realize the automatic water replenishment of the pet water fountain.

[0025] Furthermore, the main unit 1 is equipped with a connector 9, and the end of the external water pipe 7 is equipped with a plug 10. The plug 10 and the connector 9 are shaped to match each other, and the two are detachably coupled. The connector 9 facilitates the disassembly of the external water pipe 7. Specifically, the end of the external water pipe 7 is equipped with a plug 10, which can be coupled to the connector 9. When the plug 10 is inserted into the connector 9, the external water pipe 7 is connected to the main unit 1 to achieve water intake. If it is not used for a long time, the external water pipe 7 can be removed by pulling the plug 10 out of the connector 9. This not only facilitates the disassembly of the external water pipe 7, but also increases the sealing of the connection between the external water pipe 7 and the main unit 1.

[0026] Based on the above embodiment, one end of the insertion socket 9 is used to connect to the outer water pipe 7, and the other end is connected to the inner water pipe 11. One end of the inner water pipe 11 is connected to the insertion socket 9, and the other end is connected to the water pump 6. That is, the above structure achieves an indirect connection between the outer water pipe 7 and the water pump 6 through the sequential connection of the outer water pipe 7-insertion socket 9-inner water pipe 11-water pump 6, thereby achieving the effect of the water pump 6 drawing water from the outer tank 8.

[0027] Furthermore, the water pump 6 and the water storage tank 2 are connected by a water supply pipe 12. The water pump 6 draws water from the outer tank 8 and delivers it to the water storage tank 2 through the water supply pipe 12.

[0028] In addition, a shock-absorbing component 13 is provided on the outside of the water pump 6, and the shock-absorbing component 13 is made of a flexible material. Since the water pump 6 produces a certain amount of noise when it is working, in order to minimize the noise, this embodiment wraps the outside of the water pump 6 with a shock-absorbing component 13, which is made of a flexible material, such as silicone.

[0029] In this embodiment, the outer casing is further provided with a control panel 14, which is connected to the main control module 16. The control panel 14 can be used to display the status of the water dispenser, and also facilitates user operation on the control panel 14 to control functions.

[0030] Furthermore, the outer casing is also equipped with a filter device 15, which is located below the water tray 5 and above the water storage tank 2. After the pet has finished drinking, the water in the water tray 5 will flow back into the water storage tank 2 after passing through the filter device 15. The filtered water can be recycled and reused for the pet to drink again. Example 2

[0031] As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a pet water fountain system, including any of the pet water fountains described in the above embodiments, and also includes an outer tank 8 and an outer water pipe 7. The pet water fountain is connected to the outer tank 8 through the outer water pipe 7.

[0032] The above provides a detailed description of a pet water dispenser and system according to the embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, based on the ideas of the embodiments of this utility model, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
