Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet supplies technology, specifically to a mineral bin for a pet water dispenser. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, more and more families are starting to keep pets. During the process of keeping pets, the issue of pet drinking water has received much attention, so pet water fountains have appeared on the market.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent publication number "CN215530775U" discloses a pet water fountain, including a shell, a water tank, the water tank being disposed in the shell, forming a cavity between the water tank and the shell, the water tank having an outlet and a water flow channel communicating with the cavity; and a water pump, the water pump being disposed in the cavity, the water pump having an inlet end and an outlet end, the inlet end communicating with the outlet, the outlet end communicating with one end of the water flow channel, the other end of the water flow channel being the pet's drinking end.
[0004] According to paragraphs
[0034] to
[0040] of the instruction manual, the pet's drinking water in the water tank is directly pumped to the water outlet by the water pump in the containment cavity and flows from the water outlet to the water tray. Some of the drinking water is stored in the water tray, and the overflow part flows back into the water tank. However, the drinking water in the water tank is usually tap water, and there is no filter structure in the water tank. That is, the pet drinks tap water for a long time, which makes the pet prone to bad breath. At the same time, when the pet drinks water, hair and oil will enter the water tray and flow into the water tank. After long-term use, it is easy to pollute the water quality and further aggravate the pet's bad breath problem.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to improve upon the aforementioned shortcomings. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mineral hopper for pet water fountains that solves the problem of bad breath in pets and improves the quality of pet drinking water.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a mineral container for a pet water dispenser, characterized in that: it includes a container body and a container cover, the container body has a cavity for placing minerals, the container cover covers the cavity and is detachably connected to the container body, and the outer periphery of the container body is connected to the cavity with a plurality of immersion tanks, through which drinking water flows into the cavity and comes into contact with the minerals in the cavity.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution: the containment cavity in the tank is used to place minerals containing trace elements. Water from the water tank flows into the containment cavity through the immersion tank and comes into contact with the outer surface of the minerals, thereby leaching the trace elements from the minerals into the drinking water in the water tank. As the immersion time continues, the trace elements diffuse into the water in the water tank. When pets drink water containing trace elements, it can effectively solve the problem of bad breath in pets. At the same time, the cover of the containment cavity is detachably connected to the tank body, which makes it easy to replace the minerals in the containment cavity. Moreover, the overall structure is simple and easy to integrate into various pet water fountains.
[0009] The mineral tank for a pet water fountain described above can be further configured such that: an immersion outlet is provided in the middle of the tank body, and several leaching tanks are provided on the outer surface of the tank body near the immersion outlet, which is connected to the receiving cavity; drinking water flows into the receiving cavity from the immersion tanks and flows out from the leaching tanks.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution: the leaching tank and the leaching tank are respectively distributed on the outer and inner rings of the tank. When the water from the water dispenser is drawn out from the middle outlet or the water in the receiving tray flows back, the water in the tank will flow from the outer ring to the middle of the tank to form a directional water flow. The flowing water flows from the leaching tank into the receiving cavity and flows out from the leaching tank, ensuring that the water in the mineral tank will not stagnate and avoiding dead corners where bacteria will grow. The oil and hair on the surface of the returned water are filtered by the minerals in the receiving cavity, and the trace elements of the minerals are released into the leaching outlet. Finally, the water is pumped out into the receiving tray, making it convenient for pets to drink flowing water containing trace elements.
[0011] The mineral chamber for the pet water dispenser described above can be further configured as follows: the bottom of the receiving cavity is provided with several sets of mounting columns, the side of the chamber cover near the chamber body is provided with several sets of mounting support columns, the end face of the mounting column abuts against the end face of the mounting support column, the mounting column is provided with a first mounting hole, the mounting support column is provided with a second mounting hole, the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are provided with mounting bolts, and the chamber cover is detachably connected to the chamber body through the mounting bolts.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution: the mounting columns are spaced apart at the bottom of the receiving cavity. When the ore is placed in the receiving cavity, the mounting columns can divide the ore in the receiving cavity into multiple groups, reduce the shaking of the ore in the silo, and improve the stability of the silo placed in the water tank. At the same time, when the silo cover covers the receiving cavity, the mounting columns and mounting supports are aligned, and the mounting bolts pass through the first mounting hole and into the second mounting hole, so as to achieve quick fixation of the silo cover and the silo.
[0013] The aforementioned mineral bin for a pet water dispenser can be further configured such that: an installation groove is provided at the end of the mounting column, the mounting support is inserted into the mounting groove and contacts the side wall of the mounting groove, and several sets of support plates extend outward from the outer periphery of the mounting support, and the support plates are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bin cover.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution: the mounting groove forms a groove structure at the end of the mounting column, and the end of the mounting column can be inserted into the mounting groove and make close contact with the side wall of the mounting groove to achieve radial positioning. This improves the accuracy of the silo cover installation and prevents the mounting column from shaking or misaligning during the connection process. In conjunction with the support plate, the connection strength between the silo body and the silo cover is further improved.
[0015] The aforementioned mineral chamber for a pet water dispenser can be further configured as follows: a first positioning protrusion and a second positioning protrusion extend outward from the opening sidewall of the receiving cavity towards the chamber cover; a first positioning rim extends outward from the outer ring of the chamber cover towards the chamber body; and a second positioning rim extends outward from the inner ring of the chamber cover towards the chamber body. The first positioning rim and the second positioning rim form a positioning groove. The first positioning protrusion and the second positioning protrusion pass through the positioning groove. The first positioning protrusion can abut against the inner wall of the first positioning rim, and the second positioning protrusion can abut against the inner wall of the second positioning rim.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution: the first positioning convex ring and the second positioning convex ring protrude outward from the side wall of the bin opening to form an annular protrusion structure. The first positioning rim and the second positioning rim extend from the corresponding position of the bin cover to form an annular groove, i.e., a positioning groove. When the bin cover covers the bin body, the convex ring is inserted into the positioning groove, and a tight fit is achieved through the abutment between the outer wall of the convex ring and the inner wall of the rim. This provides constraints in both the circumferential and radial directions of the bin cover, ensuring the alignment and sealing between the bin cover and the bin body. This improves the accuracy and reliability of the bin cover installation, reduces the assembly error of the bin body and bin cover, and improves the assembly efficiency of the ore bin.
[0017] The mineral chamber for a pet water fountain described above can be further configured such that: a connection port is provided on the outer periphery of the chamber, and the connection port is distributed at an angle.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection port on the side of the silo body facilitates the installation and disassembly of the silo body. At the same time, the connection port can be aligned with the installation protrusion on the side wall of the water tank, which facilitates the installation and replacement of the ore silo inside the water tank.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: First, a container is created in the tank, and minerals containing trace elements beneficial to pets are placed inside. The container is then sealed with a lid, placing the mineral container inside the pet water fountain's water tank. The water in the tank comes into contact with the surface of the minerals in the container through an immersion tank, causing the trace elements in the minerals to leach into the water. As the pet water fountain operates, these trace elements are consumed by the pet, solving the problem of bad breath caused by pets drinking tap water for a long time.
[0020] Secondly, the outer ring of the container has an immersion tank and the inner ring has an leaching tank. When the pet water fountain pumps water and the water in the water tray flows back from the side wall of the water tank, the water in the water tank will flow from the outer periphery to the center. The backflowing water will come into contact with the minerals again in the immersion tank, which can filter and purify the contaminated water and improve the cleanliness of the water in the pet water fountain.
[0021] Third, the chamber body and the cover are set separately. Multiple sets of mounting columns are set at intervals at the bottom of the chamber. Together with the mounting columns of the cover, the ore in the chamber can be divided into multiple groups, reducing the shaking or displacement of the ore in the chamber. At the same time, the ore is more evenly distributed, improving the leaching efficiency of trace elements in the ore and increasing the intake of trace elements by pets in a single drinking water session.
[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] A mineral hopper for pet water fountains, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the device includes a chamber 1 and a cover 2. The chamber 1 has a cavity 11 for holding minerals. The cover 2 covers the cavity 11 and is detachably connected to the chamber 1. Several immersion tanks 12 are provided on the outer periphery of the chamber 1, connecting to the cavity 11. Drinking water flows into the cavity 11 through the immersion tanks 12 and comes into contact with the minerals inside. The cavity 11 in the chamber 1 is used to hold minerals containing trace elements. Water from the water tank 3 flows into the cavity 11 through the immersion tanks 12 and comes into contact with the outer surface of the minerals, thereby leaching the trace elements from the minerals into the drinking water in the water tank 3. As the immersion time continues, the trace elements diffuse into the water in the water tank 3. When pets drink water containing trace elements, it can effectively solve the problem of bad breath in pets. At the same time, the cover 2 covers the cavity 11 and is detachably connected to the chamber 1, making it easy to replace the minerals in the cavity 11. The overall structure is simple and easy to integrate into various pet water fountains.
[0026] The chamber 1 has an immersion outlet 13 in the middle. Several leaching tanks 14 are formed on the outer surface of the chamber 1 near the immersion outlet 13, connecting to the receiving cavity 11. Drinking water flows into the receiving cavity 11 from the immersion tank 12 and out from the leaching tanks 14. The leaching tanks 14 and immersion tanks 12 are distributed on the outer and inner rings of the chamber 1, respectively. When water from the water dispenser is drawn out from the middle outlet or water from the water tray flows back, the water in the water tank 3 flows from the outer ring to the middle of the water tank 3, forming a directional water flow. The flowing water flows into the receiving cavity 11 from the immersion tank 12 and out from the leaching tanks 14, ensuring that water in the mineral chamber does not stagnate and preventing the formation of dead corners for bacterial growth. Oil and hair on the surface of the returned water are filtered by the minerals in the receiving cavity 11, and trace elements from the minerals are released into the immersion outlet 13. Finally, the water is pumped out into the water tray, making it convenient for pets to drink flowing water containing trace elements.
[0027] The bottom of the receiving cavity 11 is provided with several sets of mounting posts 15, each with a first mounting hole 151. The cover 2, near the side of the silo body 1, is provided with several sets of mounting supports 21. The end face of the mounting post 15 abuts against the end face of the mounting support 21, and the mounting support 21 has a second mounting hole 211. Mounting bolts pass through the first mounting hole 151 and the second mounting hole 211. The cover 2 is detachably connected to the silo body 1 via these mounting bolts. The mounting posts 15 are spaced apart at the bottom of the receiving cavity 11. When ore is placed in the receiving cavity 11, the mounting posts 15 can divide the ore into multiple groups, reducing the swaying of the ore within the silo body 1 and improving the stability of the silo body 1 when placed in the water tank 3. Simultaneously, when the cover 2 covers the receiving cavity 11, the mounting posts 15 and mounting supports 21 are aligned, and the mounting bolts pass through the first mounting hole 151 and into the second mounting hole 211, achieving rapid fixation of the cover 2 to the silo body 1.
[0028] The mounting post 15 has a mounting groove 152 at its end. The mounting support 21 passes through the mounting groove 152 and contacts the side wall of the mounting groove 152. Several sets of support plates 22 extend outward from the outer periphery of the mounting support 21. The support plates 22 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bin cover 2. The mounting groove 152 forms a groove structure at the end of the mounting post 15. The end of the mounting support 21 can be inserted into the mounting groove 152 and make close contact with the side wall of the mounting groove 152 to achieve radial positioning. This improves the accuracy of the bin cover 2 during installation and prevents the mounting support 21 from shaking or misaligning during the connection process. The support plates 22 further improve the connection strength between the bin body 1 and the bin cover 2.
[0029] The compartment 1 has a first positioning protrusion 16 and a second positioning protrusion 17 extending outward from the opening side wall of the receiving cavity 11 toward the compartment cover 2. The outer ring of the compartment cover 2 has a first positioning rim 23 extending outward toward the side of the compartment 1, and the inner ring has a second positioning rim 24 extending outward toward the side of the compartment 1. The first positioning rim 23 and the second positioning rim 24 form a positioning groove 25. The first positioning protrusion 16 and the second positioning protrusion 17 pass through the positioning groove 25. The first positioning protrusion 16 can abut against the inner wall of the first positioning rim 23, and the second positioning protrusion 17 can abut against the inner wall of the second positioning rim 24. The first positioning protrusion 16 and the second positioning protrusion 17 protrude outward from the side wall of the opening of the silo body 1 to form an annular protrusion structure. The first positioning rim 23 and the second positioning rim 24 extend from the corresponding position of the silo cover 2 to form an annular groove, i.e., the positioning groove 25. When the silo cover 2 covers the silo body 1, the protrusion is inserted into the positioning groove 25 and a tight fit is achieved through the abutment of the outer wall of the protrusion and the inner wall of the rim. This provides constraints in both the circumferential and radial directions of the silo cover 2, ensuring the alignment and sealing between the silo cover 2 and the silo body 1. This improves the accuracy and reliability of the silo cover 2 installation, reduces the assembly error of the silo body 1 and the silo cover 2, and improves the assembly efficiency of the ore silo.
[0030] The outer periphery of the silo body 1 is also provided with a connection port 18, which is distributed at an angle. The connection port 18 on the side of the silo body 1 facilitates the installation and disassembly of the silo body 1. At the same time, the connection port 18 can be aligned with the mounting protrusion on the side wall of the water tank 3, which facilitates the installation and replacement of the ore silo inside the water tank 3.
[0031] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The ore is placed between any two sets of adjacent mounting posts 15 in the receiving cavity 11, and then the cover 2 covers the opening of the receiving cavity 11. The end of the mounting post 21 is inserted into the mounting groove 152 at the end of the mounting post 15. The first positioning ring 16 and the second positioning ring 17 are inserted into the positioning groove 25 and abut against the side walls of the first positioning edge 23 and the second positioning edge 24, respectively.
[0032] Then, the mounting bolt is passed through the first mounting hole 151 and screwed into the second mounting hole 211 to achieve a detachable connection between the cover 2 and the body 1.
[0033] Then align the connector 18 with the mounting protrusion on the inner wall of the water tank 3, so that the ore bin is immersed in the drinking water in the water tank 3, and the outer surface of the ore comes into contact with the water in the water tank 3, diffusing trace elements into the drinking water.
[0034] Then the water pump is started, and the water in the water tank 3 is drawn from the middle to the water receiving tray and flows back along the inner wall of the water tank 3 from the edge of the water receiving tray. The flowing water flows from the leaching tank 12 of the ore bin into the receiving cavity 11, which drives the water in the receiving cavity 11 to flow out from the leaching tank 14 to the leaching outlet 13. The oil stains or fallen hair produced by the pet drinking water enter the receiving cavity 11 and are filtered and purified by the ore, and the trace elements in the drinking water are replenished again.
[0035] When it is necessary to replace the ore in the ore bin, hold the bin body 1 from the connection port 18 or the leaching port 13, remove the bin body 1 from the water tank 3, remove the mounting bolt from the first mounting hole 151 and the second mounting hole 211, separate the bin cover 2 from the bin body 1, empty the ore and debris in the receiving cavity 11, and then put the new ore back into the receiving cavity 11 and put it back into the water tank 3.
[0036] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
