Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water pump technology, and in particular to an integrated water pump controller. Background Technology
[0002] Most existing pet water fountains use submersible pumps, which are directly immersed in water to pump water. However, these pumps have the following drawbacks in actual use: 1. The control circuit and pump circuit are in direct contact with the water, posing a risk of electric leakage and seriously threatening the pet's safety. Although some technologies use epoxy resin encapsulation to isolate the circuitry from water, the control circuit and pump circuit are still encapsulated together, making disassembly and repair difficult. Improper assembly or subsequent malfunctions can easily render the entire device unusable. 2. Most existing pet water fountain pumps lack water level monitoring capabilities. When the water level is too low, the pump is prone to dry burning, leading to a reduced lifespan. Utility Model Content
