[0017] (III) The technical effects to be achieved

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] Firstly, the clean water tank and the wastewater tank of this utility model are connected as one unit by an installation body. A drinking tray is provided on the wastewater tank, and a sealing component is provided on the drinking tray to close and discharge water from the drinking tray into the wastewater tank. The installation body is provided with a water conveying mechanism for conveying water from the clean water tank to the drinking tray, and a magnetic component and controller for controlling the opening and closing of the sealing component are also provided on the installation body. This structure, which connects the clean water tank and the wastewater tank together by the installation body, is not only convenient for disassembly and disassembly, which is beneficial for users to empty the wastewater in the wastewater tank later, but also enables real-time replenishment of fresh water in the drinking tray, which is beneficial for automatically opening and closing the fresh water supply, and for ensuring that pets can drink fresh water.

[0020] Secondly, the controller of this utility model controls the opening and closing of the magnetic component to facilitate the sealing, which can automatically open and close the fresh water supply. This is beneficial for pets to drink fresh water and avoids the situation where circulating water cannot completely filter out microorganisms, bacteria, food debris and secretions, which would result in pets drinking dirty water. This is more conducive to meeting the needs of pet owners and is easy to promote and apply on a large scale.

[0021] Thirdly, the magnetic component of this utility model includes a motor located inside the mounting body, a magnet on the motor, and a controller connected to the motor. When the motor is started, the magnet can attract the sealing component, and when the motor controls the magnet to leave the range of attraction on the sealing component, the sealing component returns to its initial closed state; or the magnetic component uses an electromagnet, which is electrically connected to the controller. This is not only simpler in structure and easier to manufacture, but also allows water on the drinking tray to be drained through the cooperation of magnetism and the sealing component, which also facilitates automatic opening and closing and improves the level of automation.

[0022] Fourth, the sealing component of this utility model includes a drain outlet set on the drinking tray. The drinking tray and the sewage tank are connected through the drain outlet. A steel ball is set on the drain outlet to cooperate with the magnetic component. The steel ball can roll inside the drain outlet, which is conducive to manufacturing and installation, reduces the difficulty of manufacturing, and facilitates opening and closing with the magnetic component, making it convenient to automatically open and close, and better meets the needs of use.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit its scope. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.

[0036] Example 1: See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8A pet water fountain includes a clean water tank 1 and a dirty water tank 2, which are connected as one unit by a mounting body 3. A drinking tray 4 is provided on the dirty water tank 2, and a closure 5 is provided on the drinking tray 4 to drain water from the drinking tray 4 into the dirty water tank 2. The mounting body 3 is provided with a water conveying mechanism 6 for conveying water from the clean water tank 1 to the drinking tray 4, and a magnetic component 7 and a controller 8 are provided on the mounting body 3 to control the opening and closing of the closure 5. The controller 8 controls the opening and closing of the magnetic component 7 to cause the closure 5 to be closed. This facilitates the flow of water from the drinking tray 4 into the dirty water tank 2 as needed, ensuring that water from the drinking tray 4 is drained into the dirty water tank 2 as needed. This facilitates the delivery of fresh water from the clean water tank 1 to the drinking tray 4 as needed, thus enabling the pet to drink fresh water. This avoids the situation where the circulating water filter cannot completely filter out microorganisms, bacteria, food debris, and secretions, which would result in the pet drinking dirty water.

[0037] Example 2: Based on Example 1, to facilitate the installation of the magnetic component in the mounting body 3 and enhance the overall novelty, the magnetic component is located inside the mounting body 3. Example 1 for the magnetic component 7 is as follows: Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the magnetic component 7 includes a motor 71 located inside the mounting body 3. A magnet 72 is mounted on the motor 71, which is connected to a controller 8. When the motor 71 is activated, the magnet 72 attracts the closure 5, facilitating its opening and connecting the water dish 4 and the wastewater tank 2. This allows water from the water dish 4 to be discharged into the wastewater tank 2. When the motor 71 controls the magnet 72 to move away from the attractive force range on the closure 5, the closure 5 returns to its initial closed state, preventing water from draining into the wastewater tank 2. This allows the pet to drink from the water dish 4. Furthermore, the motor 71 has a mounting bracket 73 with a transmission component. The motor 71 and magnet 72 are connected via this transmission component. In this embodiment, the motor 71 drives the magnet 72 to rotate back and forth via the transmission component. For example, when the magnet 72 rotates to the closure... When the closing member 5 is on one side, the attraction of the magnet 72 allows the closing member 5 to open the drinking tray 4 for drainage. When the magnet 72 rotates and is no longer on one side of the closing member 5, the closing member 5 naturally falls back to close the drinking tray 4 for drainage. For the transmission component, a gear set is generally used, that is, an output gear is set on the output shaft of the motor 71, and then the magnet 72 is driven to rotate back and forth through the gear set. Specifically, the magnet 72 can achieve a 90-degree back and forth rotation, which is conducive to the attraction of the closing member 5. The gear set is a technology well known to those skilled in the art, and the ability to achieve a 90-degree back and forth rotation is also a technology well known to those skilled in the art, so it is not described in detail. In the second embodiment of the magnetic component 7, the magnetic component 7 is an electromagnet, which is electrically connected to the controller 8. In this way, the controller 8 can control the opening and closing of the electromagnet's magnetism, which is conducive to using the electromagnet to open and close the closing member 5.

[0038] Example 3: This can be explained based on Example 1, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, the closure 5 includes a drain outlet 51 on the drinking tray 4. The drinking tray 4 and the wastewater tank 2 are connected through the drain outlet 51. A steel ball 52 is provided on the drain outlet 51 to cooperate with the magnetic component 7. The steel ball 52 can roll inside the drain outlet 51. When the magnetic component 7 is turned on, it opens under the action of the magnetic force of the magnetic component 7. The magnetic component 7 is conducive to adsorbing and moving the steel ball 52, and the drain outlet 51 is in a conductive state. In this way, the water on the drinking tray 4 is discharged into the wastewater tank 2. When the magnetic component 7 is turned off, the steel ball 52 loses its adsorption force and will close the drain outlet 51, so the water on the drinking tray 4 cannot be discharged into the wastewater tank 2. To further explain, the drain outlet 51 is internally equipped with a mating component 53 for the rolling opening and closing of the steel ball 52. The mating component 53 has a through hole in the center, and its upper surface is a concave arc (lower in the center and higher around the edges). The through hole is located at the center of the mating component 53. When the steel ball 52 rolls into the center of the through hole, it closes the drain. When the steel ball 52 is attracted away from the through hole, it opens the drain. Furthermore, a filter screen 511 is provided on the upper surface of the drain outlet 51, which not only facilitates drainage but also improves filtration.

[0039] Example 4: This can be described based on Example 1, Example 2, or Example 3, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the mounting body 3 includes a main body 31. The main body 31 is equipped with a water conveying mechanism 6, a magnetic component 7, and a controller 8. This design saves space and enhances the overall novelty. The main body 31 is cylindrical, and concave grooves are provided on both the clean water tank 1 and the wastewater tank 2. The clean water tank 1 and the wastewater tank 2 can be connected to the main body 31 by interlocking the concave grooves with the cylindrical main body 31. The main body 31 is provided with fixing feet 32 ​​for connecting to the wastewater tank 2, and the wastewater tank 2 at the concave groove position is provided with fixing grooves that are fixed together with the fixing feet 32. This makes it easier to fix the wastewater tank 2 to the main body 31. In this embodiment, there are two fixing feet 32 ​​and two fixing grooves, which makes it easier to fix the wastewater tank 2 to the main body 31 more stably.

[0040] Example 5: This can be described based on Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, or Example 4, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the water delivery mechanism 6 includes an inlet 61 on the water purification tank 1 and a water pump 62 inside the mounting body 3. The water pump 62 is connected to the controller 8, and a water delivery pipe 63 is provided on the water pump 62. One end of the water delivery pipe 63 is connected to the inlet 61, and an outlet 64 is provided on the mounting body 3. The other end of the water delivery pipe 63 is connected to the outlet 64. The outlet 64 is located at the drinking tray 4, which is beneficial for delivering water to the drinking tray 4. In this embodiment, the inlet 61 is located at the bottom of the water purification tank 1, and the outlet 64 is located at the top of the drinking tray 4. This is beneficial for better drainage of water from the water purification tank 1 into the drinking tray 4. Further, a filter 65 is provided on the inlet 61, which helps improve the water filtration effect. The filter 65 is made of sponge for ease of implementation.

[0041] Example 6: This can be described based on Example 1, Example 2, Example 3, Example 4, or Example 5, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the controller 8 includes a power supply 81 and a control chip 82 housed inside the mounting body 3. The power supply 81 provides power to the control chip 82, and the control chip 82 is equipped with a charging interface 83, which facilitates charging and storing power for the power supply 81. Further, the mounting body 3 is equipped with an infrared sensor 84 for sensing whether a pet is approaching. The infrared sensor 84 is connected to the control chip 82. When the pet is not approaching, the infrared sensor 84 maintains a certain output level. When the pet approaches, the output level of the infrared sensor 84 changes. Upon receiving the signal of this change, the water delivery mechanism 6 is activated to deliver water from the water tank 1 to the drinking dish 4 for the pet to drink, thus providing it with fresh water. Further, the power supply 81 uses a battery pack, specifically a lithium battery pack, which facilitates better power storage. In this embodiment, the charging interface 83 uses a magnetic charging interface. The control chip 82 is a chip well-known to those skilled in the art, and therefore is not described in detail.

[0042] The upper surface of the mounting body 3 is equipped with a control keyboard 85, which is connected to a control chip 82. In this embodiment, the control keyboard 85 includes a power switch and a quantitative water dispensing button, such as 10ml, 15ml, 20ml, 25ml, 30ml, 35ml, 40ml, and 50ml, etc., allowing users to select different water volumes. This invention allows users to choose between quantitative water dispensing or the sensing mode of the infrared sensor 84, providing greater flexibility and enhancing the level of intelligence.

[0043] In this invention, the water in the clean water tank 1 and the wastewater tank 2 is separated from each other instead of being recycled. This allows pets to drink fresh water from the clean water tank 1 in real time, avoiding the situation where the recycled water cannot completely filter out microorganisms, bacteria, food debris, and secretions, which would result in the pet still drinking wastewater.

[0044] All standard parts used in this application can be purchased from the market. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts and rivets that are mature in the existing technology. The internal components of the control chip, infrared sensor, water pump and motor all adopt conventional models in the existing technology, and their internal structure belongs to the existing technology structure. Workers can complete the normal operation of them according to the existing technical manual. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the existing technology, and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] It should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described herein, this does not limit the scope of patent protection for this utility model. Therefore, any changes and modifications made to the embodiments described herein based on the innovative concept of this utility model, or equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model's specification and drawings, directly or indirectly applying the above technical solutions to other related technical fields, are all included within the scope of protection of this utility model patent.
