Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet supplies technology, specifically a pet water dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] As society continues to develop, the number of pet owners is also increasing, especially among people living alone in cities who need the companionship of pets even more. Pet owners usually use bowls or basins to give their pets water, but these containers are often knocked over by pets, which is not only unhygienic but also very troublesome to clean up. Furthermore, people sometimes forget to give their pets water, leaving them without adequate hydration. Therefore, pet water fountains have appeared on the market, which can largely solve the problem of pet drinking water.

[0003] Most pet water fountains on the market are circulating water fountains, typically consisting of a water tank, pump, drinking tray, and filter. The pump draws water from the tank into the drinking tray, where it is filtered once the water level reaches the mark and then flows back into the tank, creating an automatic cycle. While circulating water fountains allow pets to drink water automatically, some water always remains in the drinking tray, making it susceptible to contamination and potentially affecting the pet's health. Furthermore, the filter cartridges need to be replaced regularly, and the proper functioning of these fountains relies on manual intervention, making them quite cumbersome to operate. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a pet water dispenser that can automatically supply water without human intervention.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is to provide a pet water dispenser with the following structure: The device includes a housing and a water storage tank, a water inlet assembly, a water outlet assembly, and a water receiving tray disposed within the housing. A drinking port is located on one side wall of the housing, and the water receiving tray is situated inside the drinking port. One end of the water inlet assembly is connected to an external water source, and the other end is connected to the water storage tank, for supplying water to the storage tank. An outlet is located above the water receiving tray inside the drinking port. One end of the water outlet assembly is connected to the water storage tank, and the other end is connected to the outlet, for drawing water from the storage tank and discharging it through the outlet. A drain outlet is located on the inner bottom wall of the water receiving tray, and a drain pipe is connected to the drain outlet. The water receiving tray collects water flowing from the outlet and discharges it through the drain outlet. A sensor probe is located on the side of the outlet near the drinking port, and the sensor probe is electrically connected to the water outlet assembly for controlling the start and stop of the water outlet assembly.

[0006] With the above structure, the pet water dispenser of this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art: The water supply system automatically supplies water to the water tank via the inlet assembly. When a pet puts its hand into the drinking spout, a sensor detects the pet's approach and transmits the signal to the outlet assembly. The outlet assembly then draws water from the tank and discharges it through the outlet, allowing the pet to drink the flowing water and preventing contamination. Any unused water falls into the drip tray and drains out through the drain, preventing water from accumulating in the tray and avoiding accidental ingestion. This invention achieves automatic water supply and dispensing without manual intervention. The flowing water supply also keeps the drinking water clean, preventing any impact on the pet's health. Furthermore, the drip tray, located inside the drinking spout, prevents water from splashing out, thus keeping the room clean and tidy.

[0007] Preferably, the top of the drinking spout has a downwardly extending protrusion corresponding to the position of the sensor probe, and the lower end of the protrusion is rounded. The protrusion is used to reduce the sensing range of the sensor probe to save water. The protrusion blocks the sensor probe, which reduces its sensing range, and it will only be detected when the pet puts its hand into the drinking spout to drink, avoiding waste caused by frequent triggering when the pet is nearby; the rounded lower end of the protrusion can also prevent injury to the pet.

[0008] Preferably, the water outlet assembly includes an outlet pipe and a diaphragm pump; one end of the outlet pipe is connected to a water storage tank, and the other end is connected to a water outlet; the diaphragm pump is mounted on the outlet pipe, and the sensing probe is electrically connected to the diaphragm pump. The diaphragm pump can deliver water without contacting the water source, reducing the possibility of secondary pollution of the water source.

[0009] Preferably, the water outlet is equipped with a spray head to spray water from the outlet, making it more convenient for pets to drink; the spray head can also be removed and replaced with a faucet as needed.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the water tank is equipped with an electric heating element for heating the water inside. A temperature control probe is installed on the inner bottom wall of the water tank, electrically connected to the electric heating element, to monitor the water temperature and control the heating element's on / off state based on the monitored signal. The combination of the temperature control probe and the electric heating element maintains a constant water temperature in the tank, preventing pets from becoming ill due to excessively low water temperatures in winter.

[0011] Preferably, the inner top wall of the water storage tank is also equipped with an ultraviolet disinfection lamp for disinfecting and sterilizing the water inside the tank. Since the water in the storage tank is always kept at a certain water level, bacteria or algae can easily grow over time. Therefore, installing an ultraviolet disinfection lamp inside the water storage tank can prevent the above situation from occurring.

[0012] Preferably, the water inlet assembly includes an inlet pipe and a float valve. One end of the inlet pipe is connected to an external water source, and the other end is connected to the float valve. The float valve is installed inside the water storage tank and is used to control the water level in the water storage tank.

[0013] Preferably, the water inlet pipe is also equipped with an external water filter cartridge for filtering the raw water input from an external water source. The external water filter cartridge can filter the raw water into purified water, ensuring the health of the pet's drinking water. Furthermore, the external water filter cartridge is located on the outside of the pet water fountain, making it easy to replace.

[0014] Preferably, the inner bottom wall of the water receiving tray gradually concaves inward from the periphery to the center, and the drain outlet is located in the middle of the inner bottom wall of the water receiving tray. This allows for timely drainage of wastewater from the water receiving tray, preventing wastewater residue from remaining in the tray.

[0015] Preferably, the inner wall of the drinking spout is provided with several cloud-shaped decorative blocks. Attached Figure Description
