Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of barrel connection structure, and more specifically to a barrel connection structure for a pet water dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] Current pet water fountains typically consist of only one water tank. A pump draws water from the tank into a drinking dish above, and a circulation system recirculates the water between the tank and the drinking dish. However, because the drinking dish accumulates stale water and mixes with fresh water over time, bacteria, algae, and microorganisms can easily proliferate. Frequent consumption of this water by pets can lead to health problems such as diarrhea and urinary tract infections, especially for young or senior pets with weaker immune systems. Secondly, hair, food scraps, and other impurities that easily get into the drinking dish cannot be effectively isolated, repeatedly contaminating the filter with the circulating water, significantly shortening its lifespan and increasing maintenance costs. Users need to frequently disassemble and clean the entire tank, a cumbersome process that can lead to secondary contamination due to incomplete cleaning of hard-to-reach areas. Furthermore, existing water tanks and circulation systems are usually just capped together without a connecting structure, resulting in an unstable connection between the two. Utility Model Content

[0028] 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.

[0029] The embodiments of this utility model will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the pet water fountain's container connection structure includes a first container 100 and a second container 200. An open portion 110 is provided at the top of the first container 100. The second container 200 is disposed on the first container 100 through the open portion 110, so that the second container 200 is fitted onto the middle of the first container 100, and a receiving cavity 400 is formed between the first container 100 and the second container 200. Here, "fitting" means that the inner wall of the first container 100 partially or completely covers the outer wall of the second container 200. A first flow channel is provided at the top of the first container 100. A second flow channel 210 is provided on the top of the second barrel 200. A circulation device 300 is provided above the first barrel 100 and the second barrel 200. The circulation device 300 includes a connecting plate 310 and a drinking tray 320. A water pump 330 is provided between the connecting plate 310 and the drinking tray 320. The connecting plate 310 covers the top of the first barrel 100 and the second barrel 200. A rotating bayonet device is provided between the connecting plate 310 and the first barrel 100. The connecting plate 310 and the first barrel 100 are detachably connected by the rotating bayonet device.

[0030] In this application, the first tank 100 is used to store purified water or clean water. Then, the second tank 200 is inserted into the open portion 110 of the first passage and fixed inside, forming a nested structure between the first tank 100 and the second tank 200. At this time, purified water or clean water enters the cavity 400 formed between the first tank 100 and the second tank 200. Then, in the working state, the connecting plate 310 and the first tank 100 are assembled together by a rotating locking device, forming a fixed connection between the first tank 100 and the second tank 200 and the circulation device 300. The water pump 330 pumps the clean water in the cavity 400 to the outside through the first flow channel 120 for the pet to drink. When the external water becomes contaminated or needs to be replaced, the external water is discharged into the second tank 200 through the second flow channel 210. Finally, when wastewater needs to be emptied... The connecting plate 310 and the first barrel 100 are disassembled by rotating the bayonet device, and then the second barrel 200 is removed from the first barrel 100. In this embodiment, the first flow channel 120 acts as an outlet. When the external water becomes polluted or needs to be replaced, the external water is discharged into the second barrel 200 through the second flow channel 210, which acts as an inlet. It should be noted that this is when the first barrel 100 is used to store pure water or clean water, and the second barrel 200 is used to store sewage. The functions of the first flow channel 120 and the second flow channel 210 should be understood to be completely opposite when the functions of the first barrel 100 and the second barrel 200 are interchanged. The above situation should also be within the scope of protection of this application.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, this application saves space in the entire barrel structure by setting up a first barrel 100 and a second barrel 200 that are nested inside and out. The first barrel 100 is used to hold pure water or clean water, while the external sewage is collected into the second barrel 200, thus isolating the clean water and sewage from each other. When it is necessary to pour out the sewage, it is only necessary to disassemble the connecting plate 310 and the first barrel 100 by rotating the locking device, and then take the second barrel 200 out of the first barrel. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0032] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a support portion 130 is provided at the edge of the open portion 110. The support portion 130 is integrally formed with the side wall of the first barrel 100. An extension portion 220 protrudes outward from the top of the side wall of the second barrel 200. When the second barrel 200 is disposed inside the first barrel 100 through the open portion 110, the extension portion 220 abuts against the upper part of the support portion 130, thereby allowing the second barrel 200 to fit into the middle of the first barrel 100. When adding clean water to the first barrel 100, it is only necessary to move the second barrel 200 out of the first barrel 100 through the open portion 110. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0033] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the rotating bayonet device includes several through slots 131 on the top of the support portion 130 and several hooks 311 on the bottom of the connecting plate 310 corresponding to the positions of the through slots 131. A snap-fit ​​groove 132 is provided on one side of the through slot 131. When the connecting plate 310 covers the top of the first barrel 100 and the second barrel 200, the hooks 311 pass through the through slots 131. By rotating the connecting plate 310 or the first barrel 100, the hooks 311 are embedded in the snap-fit ​​groove 132, thereby forming a detachable connection between the two. Since the second barrel 200 is sleeved on the middle of the first barrel 100, when the first barrel 100 and the connecting plate 310 form a fixed connection, the second barrel 200 also forms a fixed connection with the connecting plate 310.

[0034] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first flow channel 120 is disposed on the support portion 130. Thus, when it is necessary to extract the clean water from the first tank 100, it is only necessary to insert the water outlet pipe 331 into the first flow channel 120 and then use the water pump 330 to extract the clean water from the first tank 100 to the outside.

[0035] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a detachable filter plate 230 is provided on the top of the second barrel 200, and the second flow channel 210 is provided on the top of the filter plate 230. In this way, when external sewage flows back into the second barrel 200 through the top of the second barrel 200, the filter plate 230 will filter the pet hair or food residue in the sewage and make it stay on the filter plate 230. When it is necessary to clean the filter plate 230, simply remove the filter plate 230 from the top of the second barrel 200 and rinse it with clean water.

[0036] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, an upwardly protruding limiting groove 221 is provided on the extension portion 220, and hanging ears 231 that match the shape of the limiting groove 221 are provided on both sides of the filter plate 230. When the filter plate 230 is placed on the top of the second barrel 200, the hanging ears 231 are embedded in the limiting groove 221, thereby preventing the filter plate 230 from shaking between the circumference and the second barrel 200 when facing the impact of sewage, thus improving the stability of the connection between the second barrel 200 and the filter plate 230.

[0037] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a groove 312 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 310, which is opposite to the position of the limiting groove 221. When the connecting plate 310 covers the top of the first barrel 100 and the second barrel 200, the limiting groove 221 is embedded in the groove 312. After the connecting plate 310 and the first barrel 100 are connected by a rotating bayonet device, the relative position between the second barrel 200 and the connecting plate 310 is also fixed by the cooperation of the limiting groove 221 and the groove 312, thereby preventing the second barrel 200 from shaking in the first barrel 100.

[0038] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the water pump 330 includes an outlet pipe 331 and an inlet pipe 332. The outlet pipe 331 passes through the first flow channel 120 and extends into the first tank 100. The inlet pipe 332 is connected to the drinking tray 320. A drain outlet 321 is provided at the bottom of the drinking tray 320. Thus, the water pump 330 draws clean water from the first tank 100 into the drinking tray 320. An inclined surface 232 is provided at the top of the filter plate 230. The drain outlet 321 is located directly above the inclined surface 232. The second flow channel 210 is located at the end of the inclined surface 232 in the inclined direction. Thus, when the filter plate 230 faces the sewage discharged from the drain outlet 321, the inclined surface 232 can buffer the impact of the sewage. Then, the buffered sewage flows through the inclined surface 232 into the second flow channel 210 and finally into the second tank 200.

[0039] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the first flow channel 120 is strip-shaped, so that when the connecting plate 310 or the first barrel 100 is rotated to make its hook 311 embedded in the snap-fit ​​groove 132, its water outlet pipe 331 can have sufficient rotation space in the first flow channel 120.

[0040] Furthermore, based on the above embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cross-section of the first barrel 100 is an isosceles trapezoid, and the angle between the side wall and the bottom surface of the first barrel 100 is an acute angle. In this way, the entire first barrel 100 has a shape that is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom so that the receiving cavity 400 between the first barrel 100 and the second barrel 200 can store more clean water.

[0041] 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.
