[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a sealing structure for an animal drinking water bottle, comprising: a sealing cap 1, a movable baffle 2 in the middle of the sealing cap 1, and grooves 3 at both ends of the sealing cap 1. A sliding rod 4 is slidably connected within the grooves 3, and a driving mechanism is provided between the sliding rod 4 and the movable baffle 2. The drinking spout can be easily and quickly opened when the animal is drinking, and can be easily and conveniently closed when not drinking. It can prevent water leakage due to shaking when moving or tilting, and can also prevent dust, dirt and other impurities from entering the bottle, ensuring the quality of drinking water and improving the health of the animal.
[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the sealing cap 1 includes a cap body 101, which is snapped onto the top of the open bottle body 8, and the lower inner wall is inverted conical. Its design of being narrow at the bottom and wide at the top allows the sealing cap 1 to be stably snapped onto the open bottle body 8.
[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the movable shield 2 includes a central support block 201, and the two ends of the central support block 201 are hinged with shielding movable pages 202.
[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, guide blocks 203 are fixedly connected to both ends of the central support block 201, and guide rods 102 are fixedly connected to both ends of the cover 101. The guide rods 102 are slidably connected to the guide blocks 203. The guide rods 102 and the guide blocks 203 work together to limit the movement of the movable cover plate 2.
[0027] like Figure 1-5 As shown, an anti-detachment block 103 is fixedly connected to the top of the guide rod 102 to prevent the movable baffle 2 from moving and falling off.
[0028] like Figure 1-5As shown, the driving mechanism includes a connecting rod 7 rotatably connected to the end of the pressing handle 5, and the other end of the connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected to the middle of the cover 101. The driving structure can realize the function of adjusting the height of the movable cover 2.
[0029] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the inner side of the middle part of the cover 101 is inverted cone shape. The arc-shaped contact surface will not cause the shielding movable page 202 to get stuck when it flips. Also, when the movable shielding plate 2 is horizontal, the lower end of the shielding movable page 202 will be supported and will not fall into the water.
[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a pressing handle 5 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 4. The pressing handle 5 is made of ferromagnetic material. A magnet 6 is fixedly embedded in the cover 101 at the corresponding position of the pressing handle 5. When the pressing handle 5 approaches the magnet 6, it can be attracted and fixed, thus offsetting the gravity of the movable cover 2 and preventing the movable cover 2 from falling naturally.
[0031] Working principle: When in use, the sealing cap 1 is installed on the upper end of the open bottle body 8. The inner side wall of the lower end of the cap body 101 is inverted conical. Its design of being narrow at the bottom and wide at the top allows the sealing cap 1 to be stably locked onto the open bottle body 8. By pressing the pressing handles 5 on both sides, the connecting rod 7 can change its angle, thereby lifting the movable shielding plate 2. The movable shielding plates 202 on both sides will flip due to gravity and gradually form a vertical state, allowing the water source to be exposed and making it convenient for animals to drink.
[0032] When moving or transporting, the movable cover 2 can be reset by pulling out the two side pressing handles 5. The inner side of the middle of the cover 101 is inverted cone-shaped, and the arc-shaped contact surface will not cause the movable cover 202 to get stuck when it flips. When the movable cover 2 is horizontal, the lower end of the movable cover 202 will be supported and will not fall into the water. After drinking time, the drinking interface can be closed with simple and convenient operation. This can prevent water leakage due to shaking when moving or tilting, and can also prevent dust, dirt and other impurities from entering the water bottle, ensuring drinking water quality and improving the health of animals.
[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
