Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pet drinking devices, and more particularly to a pet water dispenser. Background Technology

[0002] Pet feeding is becoming increasingly popular in modern cities, and pet water dispensers are essential for pets. The main structure of a pet water dispenser includes a body and a spout. The spout is located at the bottom of the body and includes a water outlet tube and a steel ball. The steel ball is located inside the water outlet tube at its lower end. When the pet licks the steel ball, it moves, creating a gap between the ball and the water outlet tube. Water from the body flows into the pet's mouth through the spout. When the pet stops licking, the steel ball falls back and seals the water outlet tube, thus providing automatic water supply.

[0003] When pets lick, they sometimes bite. Ordinary plastic materials cannot withstand such biting. Therefore, most water outlet pipes are made of steel, with steel balls located at the lower end of the pipe. The steel balls seal the inside of the pipe. When debris, dents, or rust appear on the surface of the steel balls, gaps can easily appear in the seal, leading to leaks. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the technical problem of easy water leakage caused by steel ball seals in the existing technology, one of the purposes of this utility model is to provide a pet water dispenser.

[0005] One of the objectives of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: A pet water fountain, comprising a body and a spout; The body of the kettle is used to store water; The spout includes a water outlet pipe, a licking element, a sealing ring, and a movable valve. The upper end of the water outlet pipe is connected to the body of the kettle. The licking element is located at the lower end of the water outlet pipe and partially protrudes from the lower end of the water outlet pipe. The sealing ring is located inside the water outlet pipe. The movable valve is located inside the water outlet pipe and passes through the sealing ring. The movable valve is in sealing contact with the sealing ring, and the lower end of the movable valve abuts against the licking element.

[0006] Optionally, a sealing ring is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the movable valve, and the sealing ring abuts against the sealing ring.

[0007] Optionally, the outer circumferential surface of the sealing ring is a first conical surface, and the lower outer diameter is smaller than the upper outer diameter.

[0008] Optionally, the inner circumferential surface of the sealing ring is a second conical surface, and the lower inner diameter is smaller than the upper inner diameter.

[0009] Optionally, the spout further includes a pressure element disposed on the upper end of the movable valve and abutting against the movable valve, for applying pressure to the movable valve.

[0010] Optionally, the pressure component is a spring, with one end of the spring abutting against the movable valve and the other end of the spring connected to the inner wall of the outlet pipe.

[0011] Optionally, the pressure component is a gravity block, which is movably disposed inside the water outlet pipe to apply pressure to the movable valve.

[0012] Optionally, the water outlet pipe includes a connecting section, an assembly section, and a water outlet section; The upper end of the connecting section is connected to the kettle body, and the lower end of the connecting section is provided with a first receiving cavity for accommodating the pressure component; The assembly section is detachably disposed at the lower end of the connecting section, and the assembly section is provided with a second receiving cavity for accommodating the sealing ring; The water outlet section is detachably disposed at the lower end of the assembly section; The licking device is located at the lower end of the water outlet section.

[0013] Optionally, the licking element is a sphere.

[0014] Optionally, the bottom of the kettle body has an assembly opening, and the top of the kettle body has a vent hole; The pet water dispenser also includes a lid, which is located at the upper end of the spout and is sealed to the assembly port.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this embodiment, sealing control is achieved through the sealing fit between the movable valve and the sealing ring, and the contact between the lower end of the movable valve and the licking component. When the pet licks the licking component, the licking component is pushed upward, causing the movable valve to move upward, breaking the seal between the movable valve and the sealing ring, and water flows out from the bottle body through the outlet pipe. When licking stops, the movable valve moves downward under pressure, re-sealing with the sealing ring. At the same time, the licking component is pushed back to its original position by the movable valve or falls back to its original position by its own gravity. The movable valve and the sealing ring have a good sealing effect, effectively preventing water leakage. The structure in this invention avoids the leakage problem caused by surface damage or debris in traditional steel ball seals, making the seal more reliable and extending its service life.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 The illustration shows a pet water fountain, which includes a body 1 and a spout 2. The body 1 is used to store water. The spout 2 includes a water outlet pipe 21, a licking device 22, a sealing ring 23, and a movable valve 24. The upper end of the water outlet pipe 21 is connected to the body 1. The licking device 22 is located at the lower end of the water outlet pipe 21 and partially protrudes from it. The sealing ring 23 is located inside the water outlet pipe 21. The movable valve 24 is located inside the water outlet pipe 21 and passes through the sealing ring 23. The movable valve 24 seals against the sealing ring 23, and its lower end abuts against the licking device 22. In this embodiment, sealing control is achieved through the sealing cooperation between the movable valve 24 and the sealing ring 23, and the abutment between the lower end of the movable valve 24 and the licking device 22. When the pet licks the licking component 22, it is pushed upwards, causing the movable valve 24 to move upwards, breaking the seal between the movable valve 24 and the sealing ring 23. Water then flows out from the kettle body 1 through the outlet pipe 21. When licking stops, the movable valve 24 moves downwards under pressure, re-sealing with the sealing ring 23. Simultaneously, the licking component 22 is pushed back to its original position by the movable valve 24 or lowered back to its original position by its own gravity. The movable valve 24 and the sealing ring 23 have a good sealing effect, effectively preventing water leakage. The structure in this invention avoids the leakage problems caused by surface damage or debris in traditional steel ball seals, resulting in a more reliable seal and a longer service life.

[0025] In one embodiment of the sealing ring 241, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, a sealing ring 241 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the movable valve 24, and the sealing ring 241 abuts against the sealing ring 23. The sealing ring 241 is a protruding annular structure on the outer circumferential surface of the movable valve 24. The sealing ring 241 enhances the sealing performance between the movable valve 24 and the sealing ring 23, and improves the stability and durability of the seal. During operation, the sealing ring 241 moves with the movable valve 24, forming a dynamic sealing interface with the sealing ring 23, reducing wear and leakage risks.

[0026] Furthermore, the outer circumferential surface of the sealing ring 241 is a first conical surface, with the lower outer diameter being smaller than the upper outer diameter. This first conical surface design allows the movable valve 24 to smoothly separate when it moves upward to open, and to achieve a gradually tightening seal when it moves downward to close, thus improving the sealing effect. In this embodiment, the first conical surface is used to generate a self-tightening effect, resulting in a tighter seal as the pressure increases, effectively adapting to different water pressure conditions.

[0027] In addition, the inner circumferential surface of the sealing ring 23 is a second conical surface, and the lower inner diameter is smaller than the upper inner diameter. This second conical surface is adapted to the first conical surface of the sealing ring 241 to form a matching sealing pair, further optimizing the sealing performance. During operation, the second conical surface ensures that the sealing interface of the moving valve 24 is evenly stressed during movement, reducing local wear and extending service life.

[0028] In some embodiments of the spout 2, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the spout 2 also includes a pressure member 25, which is disposed on the upper end of the movable valve 24 and abuts against the movable valve 24 to apply pressure to the movable valve 24. The pressure member 25 provides a continuous downward force to ensure that the movable valve 24 remains sealed with the sealing ring 23 and stably abuts against the licking member 22 when not in use. This design improves the automatic recovery capability of the seal and avoids accidental opening due to inertia or vibration.

[0029] Specifically, the pressure component 25 is a spring, with one end of the spring abutting against the movable valve 24 and the other end connected to the inner wall of the water outlet pipe 21. The spring provides elastic pressure, enabling the movable valve 24 to quickly respond to the licking action and automatically reset. During operation, the spring compresses and stores energy, releasing the energy to push the movable valve 24 to reset when licking stops. The structure is simple and highly reliable.

[0030] Alternatively, the pressure component 25 can be a gravity block, specifically a steel ball. The gravity block is movably disposed within the outlet pipe 21 to apply pressure to the movable valve 24. The gravity block provides a constant downward pressure based on its own weight, eliminating the need for elastic elements, resulting in a more durable and fatigue-resistant structure. During operation, the gravity block moves slightly with the movable valve 24, ensuring stable sealing force and making it suitable for long-term use.

[0031] In some embodiments of the water outlet pipe 21, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the water outlet pipe 21 includes a connecting section 211, an assembly section 212, and a water outlet section 213. The upper end of the connecting section 211 is connected to the kettle body 1, and the lower end of the connecting section 211 is provided with a first receiving cavity 2111 for accommodating the pressure component 25. The assembly section 212 is detachably disposed at the lower end of the connecting section 211, and the assembly section 212 is provided with a second receiving cavity 2121 for accommodating the sealing ring 23. The water outlet section 213 is detachably disposed at the lower end of the assembly section 212. The licking component 22 is disposed at the lower end of the water outlet section 213. The split structure in this utility model facilitates assembly and maintenance; for example, the sealing ring 23 or the pressure component 25 can be replaced separately. During operation, the detachable connection of each section ensures the correct positioning of the sealing ring 23 and the pressure component 25, improving the modularity and reliability of the overall structure.

[0032] Specifically, the licking component 22 is a sphere. The spherical structure facilitates licking by pets and allows for smooth rolling, reducing wear. During operation, the sphere rolls upward when licked, causing the movable valve 24 to open the water passage. When stopped, it falls back to its original position under the pressure of the movable valve 24.

[0033] In another embodiment, the licking component 22 is a slider slidably disposed at the lower end of the water outlet pipe 21, with a licking portion protruding from the lower end of the water outlet pipe 21 at the lower end of the slider. The slider provides stable linear motion, driving the actuating valve 24 to more precisely control the seal. During operation, the pet pushes the licking portion, causing the slider to move upward and open the water passage; when stopped, the slider slides back to its original position under the pressure of the actuating valve 24, making it suitable for high-frequency use environments.

[0034] In an embodiment of a pet water fountain, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the pot body 1 has an assembly port, and the top of the pot body 1 has a vent hole 11; the pet water dispenser also includes a lid 3, which is located above the spout 2 and is sealed to the assembly port. The vent hole 11 maintains the balance of internal and external air pressure to ensure smooth water flow; the lid 3 is used for the assembly and connection of the pot body 1.

[0035] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
