Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to pet equipment, specifically a pet water dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] Pet water fountains typically have a separate water bowl and fountain unit. If there's leftover water in the bowl or it needs washing, the usual solution is for the owner to remove the bowl and pour the water into the sink or wash the bowl at the sink. However, many young people today prefer a "lazy" pet ownership style, and frequently removing the water bowl to empty it and wash the bowl can wear down their patience, which is extremely detrimental to the pet. Therefore, this application designs a "lazy" pet water fountain to cater to the "lazy" mindset of today's young people. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a pet water dispenser that can drain the remaining water or dishwashing wastewater without removing the water bowl, catering to the "lazy" mentality of today's young people.

[0004] To achieve the above technical objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a pet water dispenser, comprising a housing and a water bowl, wherein a water tank and a water pump are provided inside the housing, the water pump being used to deliver water from the water tank to the water bowl, a submerged pipe being provided at the bottom of the water bowl, the submerged pipe extending downwards, the inner diameter of the submerged pipe being much smaller than the inner diameter of the water bowl; a drain pump is provided inside the housing, the inlet pipe of the drain pump being connected to the submerged pipe, and the drain pipe of the drain pump being used to discharge wastewater.

[0005] The submerged tube is a circular tube with an inner diameter of 0.5-2cm and a length of 2-5cm.

[0006] The bottom of the submerged pipe is connected to the water inlet pipe.

[0007] The water inlet pipe is equipped with a one-way valve.

[0008] The box is also equipped with a collection box, and the drain pipe discharges wastewater into the collection box.

[0009] The water bowl is integrally formed with the box body.

[0010] A side box is provided on the front side of the box body. The height of the side box is lower than the height of the box body. The water bowl is placed on the side box. The box body has an opening. The water delivery pipe of the water pump is placed in the opening. The opening is higher than the water bowl. The suction pipe of the water pump is placed inside the water tank.

[0011] A guide plate is provided at the end of the water delivery pipe. The guide plate is inclined downward, and an outlet is formed between the guide plate and the port of the water delivery pipe.

[0012] In summary, this utility model achieves the following technical effects:

[0013] This utility model is equipped with a drain pump that can drain the water left over from the pet's drinking bowl and the water used for washing dishes. The wastewater in the water bowl can be cleaned without removing the bowl, which is simple and convenient.

[0014] This invention caters to the "lazy" mentality of today's young people. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0022] Example:

[0023] Figure 1 This is a pet water fountain, comprising a housing 1 and a water bowl 2. The housing 1 contains a water tank 4 and a water pump 5, which delivers water from the water tank 4 to the water bowl 2. The bottom of the water bowl 2 has a submerged pipe 21 that extends downwards, and the inner diameter of the submerged pipe 21 is much smaller than the inner diameter of the water bowl 2. The housing 1 also contains a drain pump 7, whose inlet pipe 71 is connected to the submerged pipe 21, and whose drain pipe 73 is used to discharge wastewater.

[0024] This utility model is equipped with a drain pump that can drain the water left over from pets' drinking and dishwashing water from the water bowl. The wastewater in the water bowl can be cleaned without removing the bowl, which is simple and convenient.

[0025] The submerged tube 21 is a circular tube with an inner diameter of 0.5-2cm and a length of 2-5cm. The submerged tube 21 is a long tube with a small size and rounded corners at the connection point with the water bowl. The bottom of the entire water bowl is funnel-shaped, which will not affect the pet's drinking or scratch its tongue. As long as there is water in the water bowl, there will always be water in the submerged tube 21. If there is leftover water from the pet or wastewater from washing dishes, the water in the water bowl can be drained directly by controlling the drain pump. This is especially suitable for situations where leftover water easily becomes smelly and attracts insects in the summer when the temperature is high, or where it easily freezes in the winter when the temperature is low. Wastewater can be drained without removing the water bowl, making it simple to operate and meeting the needs of modern pet owners for convenience and one-button operation.

[0026] The bottom of the submerged pipe 21 is connected to the water inlet pipe 71.

[0027] The inlet pipe 71 is equipped with a one-way valve 72 to prevent wastewater backflow and also to prevent odors, insects, etc. from flowing back.

[0028] The housing 1 also includes a collection tank 6, into which wastewater is discharged by the drain pipe 73. A window is provided on the side of the housing 1, allowing the collection tank 6 to be pulled out for timely cleaning. Furthermore, the collection tank 6 is equipped with a level gauge (not shown), a commonly available model, which alerts the user when the level reaches a set position. The collection tank 6 can store multiple volumes of wastewater, reducing the burden on users. Of course, the collection tank 6 also features a level gauge to remind users to clean it promptly.

[0029] Furthermore, by directly inserting the drain pipe 73 into the indoor floor drain or drain outlet, the step of cleaning the collection box can be skipped.

[0030] The water bowl 2 is integrally formed with the housing 1. In this embodiment, it is designed as a single piece, allowing for the removal of the water bowl to clean the wastewater without removing it. Since the bottom is connected to the water inlet pipe 71, the water bowl is an integral structure with the housing. When washing dishes, simply use a cleaning brush to scrub, then pour in water or use water from the water tank 4 for rinsing. The wastewater is then drained directly using the drain pump, eliminating the need to remove the water bowl to the sink to empty it or to wash it at the sink.

[0031] A side box 11 is provided on the front side of the box body 1. The height of the side box 11 is lower than the height of the box body 1. The water bowl 2 is placed on the side box 11. The box body 1 has an opening 12. The water delivery pipe 52 of the water pump 5 is placed in the opening 12. The opening 12 is higher than the water bowl 2. The suction pipe 51 of the water pump 5 is placed inside the water tank 4.

[0032] A guide plate is provided at the end of the water supply pipe 52. The guide plate is inclined downward, and an outlet 53 is formed between the guide plate and the port of the water supply pipe 52.

[0033] The submerged pipe 21 forms a sink trough 22 for connection to the drainage pump.

[0034] Furthermore, the housing 1 is equipped with buttons to control the start and stop of the water pump 5 and the drain pump. These buttons are covered with transparent covers to prevent accidental activation by pets. Pressing the drain pump start button causes the pump to draw out wastewater. When no water is seen in the settling tank 22 or the sound of the water pump stopping is heard, pressing the stop button is sufficient. The dry running time of the water pump during this period is extremely short and its impact is negligible. Alternatively, a photoelectric level gauge or a point-based level gauge can be installed in the settling tank to automatically stop pumping when no water is detected or the water level reaches a low level.

[0035] 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 way. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
