Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet supplies, and in particular to a pet water fountain with automatic water changing capability. Background Technology

[0002] In modern society, more and more families are keeping pets to enrich their lives, and the hygiene and diet of pets are receiving increasing attention. Pet water fountains provide clean drinking water for pets, bringing great convenience to pet owners. Pet water fountains on the market typically have nozzles that spray water upwards into a water dish for pets to drink from. However, these fountains do not automatically refill the water. If the pet owner does not manually refill the water or the pet does not finish drinking, the water can remain in the dish for a considerable time, making it susceptible to contamination and failing to ensure that the pet is drinking clean water. Utility Model Content

[0003] To provide pets with convenient access to clean water, this invention offers a pet water fountain with automatic water changing capabilities.

[0004] This utility model is achieved by the following solution:

[0005] An automatic water-changing pet water fountain includes a base, a water tray hinged to the base and capable of vertical rotation, and a water outlet device capable of discharging water into the water tray. The water tray can rotate to a water-receiving position and a water-pouring position. The water tray includes a tray bottom and an annular side plate disposed on the tray bottom. The annular side plate and the tray bottom form a water-receiving cavity. When the water volume in the water-receiving cavity is less than the pouring volume, the water tray remains in the water-receiving position. The annular side plate includes a pouring slope located in the rotation direction of the water tray and capable of allowing the water tray to rotate from the water-receiving position to the water-pouring position when the water volume in the water-receiving cavity reaches the pouring volume.

[0006] As described above, the pet water fountain with automatic water changing function includes a water storage tank and a water pump. The water pump is located inside the base and can be connected to the water storage tank to output water from the water storage tank to the drinking tray.

[0007] As described above, the pet water fountain with automatic water changing function has a rotating shaft support frame on the base, a rotating shaft hinged to the rotating shaft support frame on the water tray, and an annular side plate including a side panel opposite to the pouring slope. The rotating shaft is located between the pouring slope and the side panel, and keeps the water tray in the water receiving position when the water volume in the receiving chamber has not reached the pouring amount.

[0008] As described above, the pet water fountain with automatic water changing function has a through hole on the rotating shaft, and the water outlet device includes a water pipe that can output water to the drinking tray through the through hole.

[0009] As described above, the pet water fountain with automatic water changing function has a detachable wastewater tank located below the water tray on the base for receiving water poured out of the water tray.

[0010] As described above, the pet water fountain with automatic water changing function includes a wastewater tank comprising a first tank body and a detachable filter screen located at the upper end of the first tank body.

[0011] As described above, the pet water fountain with automatic water changing function has a positioning part on the base for positioning the wastewater tank, and the end of the base has a pick-and-place notch corresponding to the position of the positioning part.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This patent supplies water to the water dish via a water outlet device. When the water in the water receiving chamber of the water dish reaches the pouring volume (e.g., when the receiving chamber is full), due to the pouring slope structure on the water dish, the weight of the water near the pouring slope is greater than the weight of the water away from the pouring slope, causing the water dish to flip over and instantly empty all the water in the water dish. This cleans up water that has been sitting in the water dish for a long time and prevents the pet from drinking contaminated water. Since the water dish is in the receiving position when the water in the receiving chamber has not reached the pouring volume, the water dish will automatically return to the receiving position after the water is emptied, so that it can continue to receive water for the pet to drink.

[0016] 2. This patent can achieve the flipping of the drinking tray without a driving device, thus saving costs, simplifying the structure and assembly, and reducing costs.

[0017] 3. The wastewater tank of this patent is an independent and detachable component, which makes it easy for users to remove the wastewater tank and empty and clean the wastewater inside. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0024] When ordinal numbers such as "first" and "second" are mentioned in the embodiments of this application, unless they actually express the meaning of order according to the context, they should be understood as being used only for distinction.

[0025] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] Example: Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment discloses a pet water fountain with automatic water changing capability, including a base 1, a water tray 2 hinged to the base 1 and capable of vertical rotation, and a water outlet device 3 capable of discharging water into the water tray 2. The water tray 2 can rotate to a water receiving position and a water pouring position. The water tray 2 includes a tray bottom 21 and an annular side plate 22 disposed on the tray bottom 21. The annular side plate 22 and the tray bottom 21 form a water receiving cavity 23. When the water volume in the water receiving cavity 23 has not reached the pouring volume, the water tray 2 remains in the water receiving position. The annular side plate 22 includes a pouring slope 221 located in the rotation direction of the water tray 2 and capable of allowing the water tray 2 to rotate from the water receiving position to the pouring position when the water volume in the water receiving cavity 23 reaches the pouring volume. In this embodiment, water is supplied to the water dish 2 via the water outlet device 3. When the water in the water receiving chamber 23 of the water dish 2 reaches the pouring volume (e.g., when the receiving chamber is full), due to the design of the pouring slope 221 on the water dish 2, the weight of the water near the pouring slope 221 is greater than the weight of the water away from the pouring slope 221, causing the water dish 2 to flip over, instantly emptying all the water in the water dish 2. This cleans up water that has been sitting in the water dish 2 for a long time, preventing the pet from drinking contaminated water. After the water in the water dish 2 is emptied, since the water in the receiving chamber 23 is not yet at the pouring volume, the water dish 2 remains in the receiving position. Therefore, after the water in the water dish 2 is emptied, the water dish 2 will automatically return to its original position from the pouring position to the receiving position, so that water can be refilled for the pet to drink later. This embodiment can achieve the flipping of the water dish 2 without a driving device, thus saving costs, simplifying the structure and assembly, and reducing costs.

[0027] Furthermore, to facilitate control of the water supply to the drinking basin 2, the water dispensing device 3 includes a water storage tank 31 and a water pump 32. The water pump 32 is located inside the base 1 and is connected to the water storage tank 31 to output water from the tank to the drinking basin 2. Furthermore, the base 1 is equipped with an electronic control board electrically connected to the water pump 32. The electronic control board allows for convenient operation of the water pump 32, drawing water from the water storage tank 31 and directing it through a water pipe to the drinking basin 2. The amount of water flowing into the drinking basin 2 is calculated based on the flow rate and time of the water pump 32, facilitating user operation.

[0028] Furthermore, the base 1 is provided with a rotating shaft support frame 4, and the drinking tray 2 is provided with a rotating shaft 25 hinged to the rotating shaft support frame 4. The annular side plate 22 includes a side panel 222 disposed opposite to the pouring slope 221. The angle between the pouring slope 221 and the tray bottom 21 is greater than the angle between the side panel 222 and the tray bottom 21, so as to ensure that when the water volume in the water receiving cavity 23 reaches the pouring amount, the drinking tray 2 will flip towards the pouring slope 221. The rotating shaft 25 is disposed between the pouring slope 221 and the side panel 222, and keeps the drinking tray 2 in the water receiving position when the water volume in the water receiving cavity 23 does not reach the pouring amount. The position of the pivot 25 ensures that the center of gravity of the water tray 2 is effectively balanced so that when the water volume in the water receiving chamber 23 has not reached the pouring volume, the water tray 2 remains in the water receiving position so that it can receive the water output from the water dispensing device 3 and make it convenient for the pet to drink.

[0029] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 25 is provided with a through hole 26, and the water outlet device 3 includes a water pipe that can output water to the drinking tray 2 through the through hole 26. The through hole 26 facilitates the movement of the water pipe of the water outlet device 3 within the body of this embodiment to supply water to the drinking tray 2, which helps to improve the structural compactness of the water dispenser and facilitates assembly.

[0030] Furthermore, a wastewater tank 5 is detachably mounted on the base 1, located below the drinking tray 2, to receive water poured from the drinking tray 2. In this embodiment, the wastewater tank 5 is an independent detachable component, making it convenient for the user to remove the wastewater tank 5 and empty and clean the wastewater inside. Specifically, the wastewater tank 5 includes a first tank body 51 and a detachable sludge-filtering screen 52 located on the upper end of the first tank body 51.

[0031] Furthermore, the base 1 is provided with a positioning part 11 for positioning the wastewater tank 5, and the end of the base 1 is provided with a pick-and-place notch 12 corresponding to the position of the positioning part 11. By providing the pick-and-place notch 12, it is convenient for users to pick up and place the wastewater tank 5 on the base 1, which is simple in structure and easy to use.

[0032] Furthermore, the water storage tank 31 includes a second tank body 311 and a water storage tank cover 312 disposed on the second tank body 311, with the second tank body 311 located at one end of the base 1. The structure is simple and compact, facilitating assembly.

[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0034] In this embodiment, water is supplied to the water dish 2 via the water outlet device 3. When the water in the water receiving chamber 23 of the water dish 2 reaches the pouring volume (e.g., when the receiving chamber is full), due to the design of the pouring slope 221 on the water dish 2, the weight of the water near the pouring slope 221 is greater than the weight of the water away from the pouring slope 221, causing the water dish 2 to flip over, instantly emptying all the water in the water dish 2. This cleans up water that has been sitting in the water dish 2 for a long time, preventing the pet from drinking contaminated water. After the water in the water dish 2 is emptied, since the water in the receiving chamber 23 is not yet at the pouring volume, the water dish 2 remains in the receiving position. Therefore, after the water in the water dish 2 is emptied, the water dish 2 will automatically return to its original position from the pouring position to the receiving position, so that water can be refilled for the pet to drink later. This embodiment can achieve the flipping of the water dish 2 without a driving device, thus saving costs, simplifying the structure and assembly, and reducing costs.
