[0042] In view of the aforementioned deficiencies in existing pet water fountains, the applicant, based on years of extensive practical experience and professional knowledge in the design and manufacture of such products, and in conjunction with theoretical application, actively researched and innovated to create a solution that overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies, making pet water fountains more practical. Through continuous research, design, and repeated prototype production and improvements, this utility model, possessing genuine practical value, was finally created.
[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 This utility model provides a pet water fountain, including a base 1, a camera detection module 2, a filter module 3, a control module installed in the base 1, and a water tray 4 connected to the base 1. The filter module 3 is detachably inserted into the base 1, and the camera detection module 2 is installed on top of the filter module 3. The water tray 4 is located within the camera's field of view of the camera detection module 2, and the control module is electrically connected to the camera detection module 2. The water tray 4 has a recessed water trough for holding water.
[0044] In this embodiment, the camera detection module 2, installed on top of the filter module 3, has a wider detection range, encompassing the water dish 4 within the camera's field of view, thereby detecting the pet's actual drinking frequency. The control module can record the pet's actual drinking frequency, allowing users to easily track their pet's drinking habits and better manage their pet's drinking health.
[0045] It should also be noted that users of pet water fountains may own multiple pets, such as multiple cats. The camera detection module 2 can detect the number of times different cats drink water, thereby managing the drinking situation of multiple cats.
[0046] It should also be noted that the camera detection module 2 is installed on top of the filter module 3, so the filter module 3 can be rotated and lifted by the camera detection module 2, making the replacement of the filter module 3 more convenient.
[0047] Optionally, the camera detection module is detachably connected to the top of the base 1. The camera detection module can be removed separately for maintenance or replacement.
[0048] Optionally, the camera detection module 2 is snapped together with the filter module 3, and the camera detection module 2 protrudes from the top of the base 1, so that the camera detection module 2 occupies a more advantageous position and can better detect the pet's drinking status.
[0049] Optionally, the bottom of the camera detection module 2 is provided with a pluggable connector 6, and the filter module 3 is provided with a connector corresponding to the pluggable connector 6; when the camera detection module 2 and the filter module 3 are snapped together, the pluggable connector 6 is plugged into the connector. In this embodiment, when the camera detection module 2 is installed on the filter module 3, power supply and signal transmission can be achieved simultaneously through the pluggable connector 6.
[0050] Optionally, the camera detection module 2 is provided with a buckle 71 and a button 72 for connecting the buckle 71; the filter module 3 is provided with a buckle groove, and when the button 72 is pressed, the buckle 71 and the buckle groove are disconnected.
[0051] In this embodiment, by pressing the latch 71, the latch 71 can be disengaged from the latch slot, and then the camera detection module 2 can be pulled upwards, separating the camera detection module 2 from the filter module 3. The mounting structure of the camera detection module 2 makes the disassembly and assembly of the filter module 3 more convenient.
[0052] Optionally, the pet water fountain also includes a water tank 8 installed on the base 1 and a water pump installed in the base 1; the water tank 8, the filter module 3 and the water pump are connected in sequence, and the water pump is connected to a water outlet channel with the water outlet channel facing the drinking tray 4.
[0053] Optionally, the pet water fountain also includes a weighing module connected to the water tray 4 to weigh the water in the water tray 4. Specifically, the weighing module can determine the time it takes for the pet to drink each time, thus helping to better determine whether the pet is drinking enough water.
[0054] Optionally, the pet water fountain also includes a wastewater tank 9 mounted on the base 1, which supports the water tray 4.
[0055] Optionally, a control button 72 is also installed on the top of the base 1. The control button 72 is used to control whether the pet water fountain is started and to control various functions of the pet water fountain, such as water filling, water changing, cleaning, etc.
[0056] Optionally, the bottom of the camera detection module 2 is also provided with a plug-in positioning groove 101, and the filter module 3 is provided with a positioning protrusion corresponding to the plug-in positioning groove 101. The cooperation between the positioning protrusion and the plug-in positioning groove 101 makes it easier to position the camera detection module 2 and effectively prevents the plug-in connector 6 from bending laterally due to lateral force.
[0057] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the text and drawings of this application, this should not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. Any technical solutions that are based on the essential concept of this application and utilize the content described in the text and drawings of this application, resulting in equivalent structural or procedural substitutions or modifications, as well as the direct or indirect application of the technical solutions of the above embodiments to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of patent protection of this application.
