Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With the increasing number of pet-owning families, pet water fountains are gaining popularity due to their ability to provide circulating, fresh water. Existing technology includes a water chamber, a water pump, and a water trough located at the top of the unit. The pump draws water from the chamber to the trough for the pet to drink directly, and water from the trough flows back into the chamber, creating a cycle. However, after market research and reviewing user feedback, the inventors discovered that when pets (especially cats and dogs) drink, hair, dander, and other debris from their faces and mouths easily fall into the trough. These impurities are carried back into the chamber by the flowing water, potentially entering the pump, tangling the pump shaft, or clogging the flow channels. This can lead to increased pump noise, reduced pumping efficiency, or even complete pump failure. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a pet water dispenser.

[0004] A pet water dispenser according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a body, a filter assembly, and a water pump. The body has a water cavity, a water tank, and a water outlet channel. The water tank and the water cavity are arranged vertically. The filter assembly is located in the water cavity and divides the water cavity into a first cavity segment and a second cavity segment. The filter assembly includes stacked filter plates and filter media. The filter plates have water inlets. The water inlets are higher than the bottom of the first cavity segment and higher than the bottom of the second cavity segment. The wall of the water tank has a return hole communicating with the first cavity segment. The second cavity segment and the water outlet channel are both connected to the water pump. The water pump can transport water from the second cavity segment to the water tank through the water outlet channel. The water in the water tank can accumulate to a first preset height and then flow into the first cavity segment through the return hole. The water flowing into the first cavity segment can accumulate to a second preset height and then flow through the water inlet and the filter media in sequence before returning to the second cavity segment.

[0005] A pet water dispenser according to an embodiment of the present utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0006] The above structure divides the water chamber into a first section and a second section, with a filter assembly containing filter plates and filter media installed between them. Water returning from the water tank first enters the first section. Because the inlet of the filter plate is higher than the bottom of both sections, the water must accumulate to a certain height in the first section before passing through the filter assembly into the second section. This process allows hair, dander, and other impurities sufficient time to settle at the bottom of the first section, significantly reducing the risk of impurities entering the second section and thus the water pump, thereby lowering the risk of impurities entangled in the pump shaft or clogging the flow channel. Furthermore, the water returning to the first section must pass through the filter media before entering the second section, and the filter media filters the water before it enters the second section, further reducing the risk of impurities entering the second section and the water pump.

[0007] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the machine body is provided with a pet detection device, which is electrically connected to the water pump.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the machine body includes a base and a cover. The base is provided with the water cavity, which has an upward-facing opening. The cover is detachably disposed on the top of the base and covers the opening. The cover is provided with the water outlet channel and the water tank.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the filter plate is fixedly connected to the base, the base is fixedly provided with an extension plate located in the water chamber, and the filter material is detachably disposed between the filter plate and the extension plate, wherein the filter material can be removed through the opening between the filter plate and the extension plate.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the filter plate, the extension plate, and the base are integrally formed.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the outlet of the water outlet channel is located in the middle of the water tank and is set higher than the water tank.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a pet water dispenser, which includes a body 100, a filter assembly 200, and a water pump (not shown in the figure).

[0025] The body 100 is provided with a water cavity 111, a water tank 122, and a water outlet channel 121. The water tank 122 and the water cavity 111 are arranged vertically. The filter assembly 200 is located in the water cavity 111, dividing the water cavity 111 into a first cavity segment 111A and a second cavity segment 111B. The filter assembly 200 includes stacked filter plates 210 and filter media 220. The filter media 220 is a filter cotton plate. The filter plate 210 is provided with a water outlet 211, which is higher than the bottom of the first cavity segment 111A and higher than the bottom of the second cavity segment 111B. The tank wall of the water tank 122 is provided with... The return hole 122A of the first chamber 111A, the second chamber 111B and the water outlet channel 121 are all connected to the water pump. The water pump is located in the body 100. The water pump can transport the water in the second chamber 111B to the water tank 122 through the water outlet channel 121. The water in the water tank 122 can accumulate to a first preset height and then flow into the first chamber 111A through the return hole 122A. The water flowing into the first chamber 111A can accumulate to a second preset height and then flow through the water outlet 211 and the filter material 220 in sequence before flowing back to the second chamber 111B.

[0026] It is understandable that the return hole 122A is set higher than the bottom of the water tank 122, so the water in the water tank 122 needs to accumulate to the first preset height before it can enter the return hole 122A.

[0027] Understandably, both the first and second preset heights can be set according to actual needs. For example, the first preset height can be set to 3cm and the second preset height can be set to 5cm.

[0028] The above structure divides the water chamber 111 into a first chamber section 111A and a second chamber section 111B, and a filter assembly 200 containing a filter plate 210 and filter media 220 is installed between them, so that the water returning from the water tank 122 first enters the first chamber section 111A. Since the water inlet 211 of the filter plate 210 is higher than the bottom of the two chamber sections, the water flow must accumulate to a certain height in the first chamber section 111A before it can enter the second chamber section 111B through the filter assembly 200. This process allows impurities such as hair and dander to settle at the bottom of the first chamber section 111A, which greatly reduces the risk of impurities entering the second chamber section 111B and entering the water pump, thereby reducing the risk of impurities entangled in the pump shaft or clogging the flow channel. In addition, the water returning to the first chamber 111A must pass through the filter media 220 before entering the second chamber 111B. The filter media 220 can filter the water before it enters the second chamber 111B, thus further reducing the amount of impurities entering the second chamber 111B and entering the water pump.

[0029] In some embodiments, the water pump may be set independently of the housing 100, that is, the water pump may be set independently outside the housing 100.

[0030] In some embodiments, the filter material 220 may be activated carbon, or a composite filter element of activated carbon and cotton, etc.

[0031] In this embodiment, the body 100 is equipped with a pet detection device (not shown in the figure), which is electrically connected to the water pump. The pet detection device is configured as an infrared detector.

[0032] With the above structure, the pet detection device can automatically sense whether a pet is near the drinking area. When a pet enters the detection range, the water pump is immediately activated to provide flowing fresh water to attract the pet; when the pet leaves for a period of time, the water pump automatically stops, ending the cycle. This enables a transition from continuous circulation to intelligent start-stop.

[0033] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The body 100 includes a base 110 and a cover 120. The base 110 is provided with the aforementioned water cavity 111, which has an upwardly facing opening S. The cover 120 is detachably disposed on the top of the base 110 (the cover 120 is detachably abutted against the top of the base 110) and covers the opening S. The cover 120 is provided with the aforementioned water outlet channel 121 and the aforementioned water tank 122.

[0034] With the above structure, the detachable design of the base 110 and the cover 120 makes it easy for users to open the opening S to clean and maintain the water chamber 111.

[0035] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The filter plate 210 is fixedly connected to the base 110. The base 110 is fixedly provided with an extension plate 112 located in the water chamber 111. The filter material 220 is detachably disposed between the filter plate 210 and the extension plate 112. The filter material 220 can be taken out between the filter plate 210 and the extension plate 112 through the opening S.

[0036] With the above structure, the filter media 220 can be placed and removed between the filter plate 210 and the extension plate 112 through the opening S, so as to facilitate the user to replace the filter media 220.

[0037] The filter plate 210 is fixedly connected to the base 110, and the base 110 is fixedly provided with an extension plate 112. Specifically, the filter plate 210, the extension plate 112 and the base 110 are integrally formed.

[0038] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The outlet of the water outlet channel 121 is located in the middle of the water tank 122 and is set higher than the water tank 122. The cover 120 is provided with a baffle plate 123 located above the outlet of the water outlet channel 121. There is a preset distance between the outlet of the water outlet channel 121 and the baffle plate 123.

[0039] Through the aforementioned structure, water flows out from an outlet higher than the water tank 122, first striking the upper baffle 123, then dispersing and falling in an umbrella-like pattern, forming a continuous, wide water curtain. This dynamic and gentle visual and auditory effect is more attractive to the curiosity of pets such as cats and dogs than direct water flow, effectively stimulating their desire to drink. Furthermore, the water flow diffuses from the center outwards, more evenly distributing the water throughout the entire water tank 122, greatly reducing the occurrence of stagnant areas. Moreover, the water makes full contact with air during impact and descent, increasing the dissolved oxygen content and helping to maintain water quality.

[0040] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
