Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water dispensers, and more specifically to a circulating pet water dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] Existing pet water fountains typically consist of a water tank, a drinking dish, and a water pump. The drinking dish is located on top of the water tank, and the water pump draws water from the tank into the drinking dish. A drain is located at the edge of the drinking dish so that when water overflows, it can drain back into the water tank. However, in this design, the water pump is usually located inside the water tank. Prolonged immersion in the tank can reduce the pump's durability. Furthermore, because the edge of the drinking dish is relatively high, waste that falls into the dish tends to accumulate nearby and cannot be drained promptly. This can lead to pets inhaling waste while drinking, endangering their health. Utility Model Content

[0032] 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.

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a circulating pet water fountain includes a water tank 10 and a support 20. The support 20 covers the top of the water tank 10. A pump assembly 30 is disposed inside the support 20. A first receiving cavity 21 with an upward opening is provided in the middle of the support 20. The pump assembly 30 is partially disposed in the first receiving cavity 21. A drinking tray 40 communicating with the first receiving cavity 21 is provided at the top of the first receiving cavity 21. A water outlet channel 32 and a water inlet channel 31 are formed in the support 20. The water outlet channel 32 communicates with the drinking tray 40. The water outlet channel 32 and the water inlet channel 31 are connected to the pump assembly 30. A drain outlet 11 is provided at the bottom of the first receiving cavity 21. A closable sealing member 22 is provided in the drain outlet 11. The drain outlet 11 is located above the water tank 10.

[0034] In the working state of this application, the water storage tank 10 and the support 20 are connected together. The water inlet channel 31 of the pump body assembly 30 extends into the water storage tank 10, and the water outlet channel 32 communicates with the drinking tray 40. When the pet needs to drink water, the pump body assembly 30 is activated. The pump body assembly 30 draws water out of the water storage tank 10 through the water inlet channel 31, and then fills the drinking tray 40 with water through the water outlet channel 32 and the water outlet component for the pet to drink. When the water in the drinking tray 40 needs to be drained, the sealing component 22 is removed from the drain outlet 11. In this way, the water in the drinking tray 40 flows into the water storage tank 10 through the first receiving cavity 21 and the drain outlet 11, thereby forming a water circulation.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, this application provides a first receiving cavity 21 in the support 20 and places the pump assembly 30 in the first receiving cavity 21, thus avoiding the problem of reduced durability of the pump assembly 30 caused by placing it in the water storage tank 10. At the same time, the drain outlet 11 is located in the middle of the support 20, so that the dirt in the drinking tray 40 can be discharged from the drinking tray 40 more quickly, thereby improving the circulation efficiency of the water in the drinking tray 40.

[0036] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the pump assembly 30 includes a first pump body 34 and a filter pump 33. One end of the first pump body 34 communicates with the water storage tank 10 through a water inlet channel 31, and the other end communicates with the first receiving cavity 21. The filter pump 33 includes a base 100, which is fixed to the bottom of the first receiving cavity 21. The top of the base 100 is provided with an upward-opening first chamber 110. A second pump body 120 is disposed in the first chamber 110, and the second pump body 120 is partially exposed on the base 100. Outside the top of the base 100, a removable filter housing 200 is covered on the top of the base 100. The side wall of the filter housing 200 is provided with a water inlet 210. The water outlet channel 32 is on the top of the filter housing 200. When the first pump body 34 is started, the first pump body 34 draws water from the water storage tank 10 into the first receiving cavity 21. When the water level in the first receiving cavity 21 reaches a certain level, the filter pump 33 is started to draw water from the first receiving cavity 21 into the drinking tray 40 through the water outlet channel 32.

[0037] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the filter housing 200 includes a first housing 230 and a second housing 240. The first housing 230 covers the top of the base 100. The water outlet channel 32 is located on the top of the first housing 230. A first through hole 231 is provided on the top of the first housing 230. The second housing 240 covers the top of the first housing 230. The water inlet 210 is located on the side wall of the second housing 240. A second through hole 241 is provided on the top of the second housing 240. When the second housing 240 covers the top of the first housing 230, the water outlet channel 32 passes through the second through hole 241. In this way, after the second pump body 120 draws water from the first receiving cavity 21 into the water inlet 210, the water flows in through the first through hole 231 and then is discharged through the water outlet channel 32 to the drinking tray 40, thereby forming another water circulation.

[0038] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the inlet 210 is covered with a filter screen 211. Preferably, the filter screen 211 is made of stainless steel. This way, after water is drawn in from the inlet 210, the pet hair in the first receiving cavity 21 will be blocked outside the inlet 210 by the filter screen 211, thereby preventing the hair from entering the second pump body 120 and affecting the operation of the second pump body 120. At the same time, the stainless steel material itself is highly durable, and the stainless steel filter screen 211 does not need to be replaced for a long time.

[0039] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second pump body 120 includes a motor 121 and a turbine propeller 122. The motor 121 drives the turbine propeller 122 to rotate. The motor 121 is disposed in the first chamber 110. The turbine propeller 122 is exposed outside the top of the base 100, so that the entire second pump body 120 is exposed outside the top of the base 100. Thus, when the second pump body 120 needs to be replaced and cleaned, it is only necessary to first remove the filter housing 200 from the base 100, and then grab the turbine propeller 122 by hand to remove the entire second pump body 120 from the first chamber 110 without the need for tools, thereby achieving the purpose of quick replacement and maintenance of the second pump body 120.

[0040] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a water level sensor 130 is provided on the top of the base 100. The water level sensor 130 is connected to the second pump body 120 and the first pump body 34 respectively. Since the water level sensor 130 and the second pump body 120 are both located on the top of the base 100, when the water level sensor 130 detects that the water level is too low, it can send an electrical signal to the second pump body 120 in time to prevent the second pump body 120 from running dry. At the same time, it can send an electrical signal to the first pump body 34 to start the first pump body 34 to continue pumping water from the water storage tank 10 into the first receiving cavity 21.

[0041] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the drain outlet 11 is located next to the base 100, and the water inlet 210 is located on one side of the drain outlet 11. The top of the second housing 240 is provided with an inclined surface 242 that slopes towards the water inlet 210. When the water in the drinking tray 40 has not been changed for a long time, the water in the first receiving cavity 21 can be emptied by opening the drain outlet 11. During the drainage process, since the top of the second housing 240 is provided with an inclined surface 242 that slopes towards the water inlet 210, the water flow impacts the water inlet 210 from the inclined surface 242 of the second housing 240, thereby flushing the hair accumulated on the water inlet 210 into the drain outlet 11 and finally into the water storage tank 10.

[0042] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a rotary motor 23 is provided on one side of the sealing member 22. The sealing member 22 is sleeved on the drive shaft 23a of the rotary motor 23. A battery 24 and a control circuit board 25 are provided next to the rotary motor 23. The battery 24 is electrically connected to the rotary motor 23, the pump assembly 30 and the control circuit board 25. Under normal conditions, the rotary motor 23 controls the sealing member 22 to block the drain outlet 11. When the water in the first receiving cavity 21 needs to be drained, the rotary motor 23 is started to drive the drive shaft 23a to rotate, thereby removing the sealing member 22 from the drain outlet 11. In this way, the water in the first receiving cavity 21 flows into the water storage tank 10 through the drain outlet 11.

[0043] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the water storage tank 10 includes a first tank 12 and a second tank 13. An open portion 12a is provided on the top of the first tank 12, and the support 20 covers the open portion 12a. The second tank 13 is disposed in the first tank through the open portion 12a, so that the second tank 13 is sleeved in the middle of the first tank 12, and a second receiving cavity 14 is formed between the first tank 12 and the second tank 13. The water inlet channel 31 extends into the second receiving cavity 14, and the drain outlet 11 is located above the second tank 13. In this way, by setting the first tank 12 and the second tank 13 to be sleeved inside and out, this application saves the space occupied by the entire tank structure. The first tank 12 is used to hold pure water or clean water, and external sewage is collected into the second tank 13, so that the clean water and sewage are isolated from each other. When sewage needs to be poured out, the second tank 13 can be removed from the first tank, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0044] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, a support portion 112 is provided at the edge of the open portion 12a. The support portion 112 is integrally formed with the side wall of the first barrel 12. An extension portion 131 protrudes outward from the top of the side wall of the second barrel 13. When the second barrel 13 is disposed in the first tube through the open portion 12a, the extension portion 131 abuts against the upper part of the support portion 112, thereby allowing the second barrel 13 to be fitted into the middle of the first barrel 12. When adding clean water to the first barrel 12, it is only necessary to move the second barrel 13 out of the first tube through the open portion 12a. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0045] 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.
