Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cat climbing frame technology, and in particular to a cat climbing frame with a drinking device. Background Technology
[0002] Cat trees are an important feature in cat households, satisfying cats' natural instincts to climb, scratch, and rest, while also helping them relieve stress and exercise. Cat tree water fountains are a design that combines a cat's watering device with the tree, or the water fountain can be placed directly inside the tree, saving space and encouraging cats to drink more water.
[0003] Cat drinking fountains mainly include built-in fountains, wall-mounted fountains, and fountain-style fountains. Among them, fountain-style fountains, compared to built-in and wall-mounted fountains, have a small, independent fountain. The flowing water is more attractive to cats, thus promoting their water intake. This is suitable for cats that don't like drinking still water. Existing fountain-style fountains work by immersing a water pump in a water tank. The pump draws water from the tank and transmits it to the spray nozzle for the cat to drink from. This creates a flow of water between the tank and the spray nozzle. However, prolonged immersion of the water pump in water can cause internal waterproof gaskets or bearings to age, resulting in poor sealing, increasing the risk of leaks, and reducing the pump's lifespan. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a cat tree with a drinking device, aiming to improve the problems in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a cat tree with a drinking device, comprising:
[0006] The cat tree has an internal water tank with a detachable water pump on the outside and a detachable water jet on the top.
[0007] The positioning component is located on the outside of the water tank. It enables the connection between the water pump and the water tank, thus making the water pump external.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] The top of the water tank is detachably fitted with a water-holding plate. One end of the water jet is fixedly connected to the top edge of the water-holding plate. A conduit communicating with the inner cavity of the water tank is fixedly installed on one side of the water tank. An inlet pipe connected to the conduit is fixedly installed at the inlet end of the water pump, and an outlet pipe is fixedly installed at the outlet end of the water pump. A flexible hose connected to the outlet pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the water jet.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] The outer wall of the conduit is fixedly fitted with multiple sealing rubber rings, and the inner wall of the inlet pipe is provided with a sealing groove that matches the sealing rubber rings.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] Two positioning plates are fixedly installed on one side of the inner cavity of the water tank, and a filter basket is detachably installed in the inner cavity of the water tank. Two connecting strips are fixedly installed on the top of the filter basket, and the bottom of the two positioning plates has mounting grooves that are compatible with the connecting strips.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] The positioning components include a U-shaped plate and fixing strips. The U-shaped plate is fixedly installed on one side of the water tank, and fixing strips are fixedly installed on both sides of the water pump. The inner cavity of the U-shaped plate has symmetrical fixing grooves that match the fixing strips.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] The inner wall of the fixing groove is fixedly installed with multiple elastic plates that clamp the outer wall of the fixing strip.
[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0019] The U-shaped plate is located directly above the conduit, and the bottom of the U-shaped plate has a through hole that matches the conduit.
[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] In this invention, the water pump can be connected to the water tank through the positioning component, and the water pump is externalized. This avoids the water pump being immersed in water for a long time, which would cause the internal waterproof rubber ring or bearing and other components to age and the sealing performance to deteriorate, thereby reducing the risk of water leakage and increasing the service life of the water pump.

[0030] 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.
[0031] Reference Figure 1-6 One embodiment of this utility model is a cat tree with a drinking device, comprising:
[0032] Cat trees are an important facility in cat households, satisfying cats' natural instincts to climb, scratch, and rest, while also helping them relieve stress and exercise (this is existing technology and will not be elaborated on here).
[0033] The cat tree 1 has a water tank 3 inside, and a water pump 8 is detachably installed on the outside of the water tank 3. A water spray jet is detachably installed on the top of the water tank 3. A water holding plate 2 is detachably installed on the top of the water tank 3. The water holding plate 2 is designed with a T-shaped structure. When the water holding plate 2 is placed on top of the water tank 3, the small end of the water holding plate 2 is inserted into the inner cavity of the water tank 3 and its outer wall is tightly attached to the inner wall of the water tank 3. This increases the friction between the outer wall of the water holding plate 2 and the inner wall of the water tank 3 until the large end of the water holding plate 2 is attached to the top of the water tank 3. Thus, under the action of friction, the water holding plate 2 is not easy to detach from the opening end of the water tank 3, which improves the stability of the installation of the water holding plate 2 and prevents the water holding plate 2 from falling out of the inside of the water tank 3 when the cat lies on the edge of the water holding plate 2 to drink water (this is existing technology and will not be described in detail here).
[0034] The water-holding plate 2 has a water outlet groove on one side edge that is connected to its bottom. When water from the water tank 3 enters the interior of the water-holding plate 2, the water inside the water-holding plate 2 enters the interior of the water tank 3 again through the water outlet groove. This prevents the water inside the water-holding plate 2 from overflowing and allows the water source to circulate between the water-holding plate 2 and the water tank 3, thus avoiding water waste.
[0035] Two positioning plates 4 are fixedly installed on one side of the inner cavity of the water tank 3, and a filter basket 5 is detachably installed in the inner cavity of the water tank 3. Two connecting strips are fixedly installed on the top of the filter basket 5, and the bottom of the two positioning plates 4 has mounting grooves that match the connecting strips. The two positioning plates 4 are located directly below the water outlet. The filter basket 5 can be connected to the inner wall of the water tank 3 through the cooperation of the two positioning plates 4 and the two connecting strips, and the filter basket 5 is located directly below the water outlet. When the cat lies on the top edge of the water plate 2 to drink water, cat hair or dust can easily fall into the inside of the water plate 2. The cat hair or dust will fall into the inner cavity of the filter basket 5 with the water flow through the water outlet, thus filtering the cat hair and debris that fall into the water plate 2 and preventing contamination of the water in the water tank 3.
[0036] Both the mounting slot and the connecting strip are designed with a T-shaped structure. When the connecting strip is inserted into the inner cavity of the mounting slot, it can support the filter basket 5 through the mounting slot, preventing the connecting strip from detaching from the mounting slot due to the weight of the filter basket 5. At the same time, when it is necessary to clean the impurities and cat hair accumulated inside the filter basket 5, simply pull the connecting strip out of the mounting slot and then remove the filter basket 5 from the inner cavity of the water tank 3 for cleaning.
[0037] One end of the water jet is fixedly connected to the top edge of the water tank 2. A conduit 13 connected to the inner cavity of the water tank 3 is fixedly installed on one side. An inlet pipe 11 connected to the conduit 13 is fixedly installed at the inlet end of the water pump 8, and an outlet pipe 7 is fixedly installed at the outlet end of the water pump 8. A hose 6 connected to the outlet pipe 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the water jet. When the water pump 8 is started, the water inside the water tank 3 is drawn into the inlet pipe 11 and then enters the water pump 8. After passing through the water pump 8, it enters the inner cavity of the outlet pipe 7 and the connecting hose 6. It is then transmitted to the water jet through the connecting hose 6. The water jet sprays the water into the inner cavity of the water tank 2. The water in the inner cavity of the water tank 2 enters the inner cavity of the water tank 3 again through the water outlet trough, thus realizing water circulation. At the same time, when the cat lies on the edge of the water tank 2, it can drink the water sprayed from the water jet or drink the water in the inner cavity of the water tank 2 directly.
[0038] Multiple sealing rubber rings 14 are fixedly fitted on the outer wall of the conduit 13. The inner wall of the water inlet pipe 11 is provided with sealing grooves that are compatible with the sealing rubber rings 14. When the end of the conduit 13 extending to the outside of the water tank 3 is inserted into the inside of the water inlet pipe 11, the outer walls of the multiple sealing rubber rings 14 and the inner walls of the multiple sealing grooves fit tightly together, which can prevent water from leaking from the connection between the conduit 13 and the water inlet pipe 11.
[0039] The outlet pipe 7 and the connecting hose 6 are connected by a flange. When it is necessary to clean the inside of the water pump 8 (dead corners such as the water flow channel or impeller inside the water pump 8 are prone to accumulate scale and microorganisms, forming a sticky biofilm that pollutes the water quality), first separate the outlet pipe 7 from the connecting hose 6, then pull up the water pump 8 so that the end of the conduit 13 extending to the outside of the drinking water tank 3 is completely pulled out from inside the inlet pipe 11, and the water pump 8 can be removed separately to facilitate the later cleaning of the inside of the water pump 8.
[0040] A U-shaped plate 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the water tank 3, and fixing strips 9 are fixedly installed on both sides of the water pump 8. The inner cavity of the U-shaped plate 10 has symmetrical fixing grooves that match the fixing strips 9. The U-shaped plate 10 is located directly above the conduit 13, and the bottom of the U-shaped plate 10 has a through hole that matches the conduit 13. When the water pump 8 is located between the connecting hose 6 and the conduit 13, the two fixing strips 9 are inserted into the inner cavities of the two fixing grooves until the bottom of the water pump 8 is in contact with the bottom of the inner cavity of the U-shaped plate 10. The U-shaped plate 10 can support the external water pump 8. At the same time, with the cooperation of the fixing grooves and fixing strips 9, the water pump 8 is prevented from moving left or right or shaking, thus improving the stability of the water pump 8.
[0041] Multiple elastic plates 12 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the fixing groove, which clamp the outer wall of the fixing strip 9. When the fixing strip 9 is inserted into the inner cavity of the fixing groove, the curved outer walls of the multiple elastic plates 12 are deformed by the pressure of the fixing strip 9, thereby increasing the friction of the fixing strip 9 in the inner cavity of the fixing groove. This prevents the cat from colliding with the water tank 3 while playing on the cat tree 1, which would cause the water pump 8 to detach from the inner cavity of the U-shaped plate 10, and further improves the stability of the water pump 8 installed in the inner cavity of the U-shaped plate 10.
[0042] The U-shaped plate 10, fixing strip 9, fixing groove, elastic plate 12, and external conduit 13 constitute the positioning component. The positioning component enables the connection between the water pump 8 and the water tank 3, and places the water pump 8 outside the water tank 3. This prevents the water pump 8 from being immersed in water for a long time, which would cause the internal waterproof rubber ring or bearing and other components to age and the sealing performance to deteriorate, thereby reducing the risk of water leakage and increasing the service life of the water pump 8.
[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
