Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an improvement of a pet water dispenser accessory, particularly an improvement of the filtration system. Background Technology

[0002] Pet water fountains simulate a natural flowing water environment, using pumps and other devices to circulate the water and maintain its activity and freshness. This design aligns with pets' natural inclination to drink from running water, encouraging them to drink more and promoting their health.

[0003] Some pet water fountain designers place the filter at the drain outlet of the water bowl assembly, so that the pet's drinking water is filtered as it falls. This avoids the problem of pets bringing food crumbs from their mouths into the water and contaminating the water quality. The filter can intercept these impurities and ensure the water quality in the tank is clean.

[0004] However, filter media filters organic food debris, which remains on the media. Due to the unreasonable way the existing filter media is fixed in the filter basket, there are many stagnant water zones between the upper and lower layers of the filter media. Rotten black spots will form in these places. The substances in these rotten black spots will slowly seep into the water tank, thus affecting the water quality. At the same time, the installation between the filter media and the filter basket is not secure and can shake. These black spots can also be easily carried off the filter media and enter the drinking water circulation, thus affecting the pet's health. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of current pet water fountain filters that are prone to black spots and whose spots are easy to fall off and affect water quality, this utility model provides a pet water fountain water bowl assembly and a pet water fountain.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a pet water dispenser water basin assembly, including a water basin with a hanging rim; an overflow trough is provided on the rear side of the water basin, and a drain basket is provided below the overflow trough on the water basin. The drain basket contains filter media, and the bottom surface of the drain basket is a flat plate with the outer edge of the bottom surface higher than the other side. The inner bottom surface of the drain basket has several downward convex ribs arranged in a vertical direction, and several drainage channels are formed between the downward convex ribs on the bottom surface. Drain holes are provided below the drainage channels; a main water outlet is provided at the lowest edge of the drain basket; several upward convex ribs are provided at the position where the drain basket is installed below the water basin, and the direction of the upward convex ribs is consistent with that of the downward convex ribs, and a water inlet channel is formed between the upward convex ribs; the filter media is held between the upward convex ribs and the downward convex ribs.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of a drain basket structure, a drain basket fixing edge protrudes below the water basin, a slot is provided on the drain basket fixing edge, and a hook is provided on the outside of the drain basket. The drain basket is snapped into the drain basket fixing edge, and the hook is inserted into the slot.

[0008] Furthermore, the drain basket has two fixed sides, each with a slot, and hooks on both sides of the drain basket.

[0009] To facilitate the positioning and installation of the drain basket, a groove is provided on the inner side of the hanging edge of the basin, and the outer edge of the drain basket is inserted into the groove.

[0010] To prevent the water bowl from rotating when used by a pet, a positioning notch is provided on the inner edge of the water bowl.

[0011] This utility model also includes a pet water fountain, comprising a main body, a water tank inside the main body, a water pump assembly inside the water tank, an installation port above the main body located on the water tank, and the aforementioned water basin assembly covering the installation port; the main body is provided with a water outlet aligned with the water basin assembly, and the water outlet is connected to the water pump assembly via a water pipe to deliver water to the water basin assembly;

[0012] To facilitate the positioning of the water basin and drain basket, the edge of the mounting opening is provided with an arc-shaped semi-enclosed edge, and anti-loosening inserts are provided on both sides of the semi-enclosed edge; the inner side of the hanging edge of the water basin is provided with a groove, and the outer edge of the drain basket and the anti-loosening inserts are inserted into the groove; the semi-enclosed edge is provided with a positioning protrusion below the water outlet, and the hanging edge on the inner side of the water basin is provided with a positioning notch, and the positioning protrusion is inserted into the positioning notch when the water basin is installed on the mounting opening.

[0013] To add a heat preservation function to the water dispenser, an electric heating unit is also installed on the bottom surface of the water tank.

[0014] This pet water fountain also includes the following additional technical features: the main body is equipped with a battery assembly, an infrared assembly, a control assembly, and an external power connector, all of which are electrically connected to the water pump assembly and the electric heating unit. The connection method adopts a conventional design method available on the market and will not be expanded further.

[0015] This utility model water bowl assembly is installed on a pet water fountain. Fresh water enters the bowl from the spout for the pet, then flows from the overflow tray into the drain basket for filtration. The water first enters the inlet channel between the upper ribs, then disperses into the filter media and finally enters the drain channel. Most of the water drains through the drain holes, while a small portion flows along the drain channel and into the water tank from the main outlet. Adding water is simple: just remove the water bowl assembly and add water directly to the tank. Replacing the filter media after prolonged use is also convenient; simply remove the filter basket to replace the filter media.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By setting drainage channels and water inlet channels above and below the filter media in the drain basket, dead water zones are eliminated, preventing the formation of corrosion spots. This allows water to flow and circulate fully without affecting the filtration function. The flowing water brings sufficient oxygen, promoting the oxidation and decomposition of organic impurities, thereby maintaining the cleanliness and hygiene of the water. 2. The deterioration of water quality in dead water zones accelerates the aging and clogging of filter media. The presence of dead water zones prevents some filter media from fully contacting the water, thus reducing its filtration efficiency. Removing dead water zones reduces the contamination of the filter media and extends its service life. 3. The downward flow of water at the main outlet has potential energy, and during the downward flow, it carries air, forming many small bubbles that enter the stored water. This further increases the dissolved oxygen in the stored water, improves water quality, enhances the taste, and makes it healthier and more palatable for pets. Attached Figure Description
