Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] With advancements in technology and the development of humanistic values, more and more people are keeping pets, and are paying increasing attention to their pets' drinking experience. This has led to the emergence of pet water fountains specifically designed for pets. Currently, existing pet water fountains typically have fixed water trays without a tilting or reversing function, resulting in the accumulation of contaminants in the trays and negatively impacting the pets' health.

[0003] Utility model patent CN220383950U discloses a pet water fountain, which includes a first housing, a water pump, a water tray, and a drive mechanism. The first housing has a first space for holding purified water. One end of the water pump is connected to the first space, and the other end is connected to the water tray. The water pump pumps water from the first space into the water tray. The drive mechanism is connected to the water tray and drives the water tray to rotate vertically, thus emptying the water from the tray. This prior art effectively removes contaminated water from the water tray and replaces it with purified water. However, after pumping water from the first space into the water tray, the pump stops, leaving the water in the tray stagnant and unable to flow. This is less appealing to pets that prefer fresh water (such as cats and dogs).

[0004] Therefore, there is still room for improvement and development in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems of existing technologies, this utility model provides a pet water fountain that uses a water pump to circulate the water in the drinking dish, ensuring the water is fresh and thus increasing its appeal to pets (such as cats and dogs) who enjoy drinking fresh water. This effectively attracts pets (such as cats and dogs) to come and drink.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution applied in this utility model is as follows: A pet water fountain includes a main unit housing, on which are mounted a clean water tank, a first water pump, a second water pump, a drinking tray, and a first drive assembly. The first water pump pumps clean water from the tank into the drinking tray. The second water pump draws water from the drinking tray and returns it to the tray, thus circulating the water. The first drive assembly rotates the drinking tray to empty the water. This design allows the first water pump to replenish the drinking tray, and the second water pump to circulate the water, ensuring it is fresh and attracting pets (such as cats and dogs) who prefer fresh water. When the water in the tray becomes contaminated, the first drive assembly rotates the tray to empty the contaminated water, and the first water pump replenishes the tray with fresh water.

[0007] According to the above scheme, the main unit housing is equipped with a water outlet component. The water outlet end of the water outlet component is correspondingly set to the water inlet end of the drinking tray. The water outlet end of the drinking tray is connected to the water inlet end of the second water pump, and the water outlet end of the second water pump is connected to the water inlet end of the water outlet component. With this configuration, when the second water pump is working, it draws water out of the drinking tray and then returns it to the drinking tray through the water outlet component, so that the water in the drinking tray is fresh water.

[0008] According to the above scheme, a water level detection chamber is provided between the water outlet of the drinking tray and the water inlet of the second water pump. The water inlet of the water level detection chamber is connected to the water outlet of the drinking tray, and the water outlet of the water level detection chamber is connected to the water inlet of the second water pump. With this configuration, when the first water pump is working, it pumps clean water from the clean water tank into the drinking tray, and then into the water level detection chamber. When the water level reaches the preset level, the first water pump stops pumping. Then, the second water pump starts working, drawing water out of the drinking tray and returning it to the drinking tray. When the pet drinks a certain amount of water, the water level drops, and the first water pump starts working again, thus cycling. When the water becomes contaminated, the first drive component drives the drinking tray to rotate, emptying the contaminated water from the drinking tray. Simultaneously, the second water pump empties the remaining water in the water level detection chamber and stops. After emptying the water, the first drive component drives the drinking tray to rotate back to its original position, and the second water pump replenishes the drinking tray with clean water.

[0009] According to the above scheme, the water outlet is retractably mounted on the main unit housing, and its extension and retraction are driven by drive component two. When the drinking tray is in a horizontal state, the water outlet extends out of the main unit housing and is located above the water inlet end of the drinking tray. When the drinking tray is rotated by drive component one, the water outlet is retracted into the main unit housing by drive component two. This configuration ensures that when drive component one rotates the drinking tray to pour water, drive component two drives the water outlet to retract, thus avoiding creating space for the drinking tray to rotate.

[0010] According to the above scheme, the drive assembly includes a drive component and a transmission component. The output end of the drive component is connected to the transmission component, and the transmission component is connected to the drinking tray. With this configuration, when the drive component is working, it drives the transmission component to rotate, and the transmission component then drives the drinking tray to rotate.

[0011] According to the above scheme, the main unit housing is equipped with a detachable wastewater tank, which is located below the drinking tray 28. This configuration allows wastewater in the drinking tray to be poured into the wastewater tank for collection when the drinking tray is rotated by the drive assembly, facilitating subsequent unified cleaning.

[0012] According to the above scheme, the inlet end of the sewage tank is equipped with a filter screen assembly. This design allows the filter screen assembly to filter impurities from the sewage, separating the impurities from the water and facilitating subsequent unified cleaning.

[0013] According to the above scheme, the inlet end of the first water pump is connected to the outlet end of the clean water tank, and the outlet end of the first water pump is connected to the inlet end of the outlet component. With this configuration, when the first water pump is working, it draws clean water from the clean water tank and replenishes the drinking water tray through the outlet component.

[0014] According to the above scheme, the main unit housing includes a front shell and a rear shell, which are fixedly connected. The drinking water tray is installed on the front shell, and the clean water tank is installed on the rear shell. This configuration is simple in structure, makes reasonable use of the installation space of the main unit housing, and has a compact structure.

[0015] According to the above scheme, the front shell is provided with a drain connector one corresponding to the water outlet of the drinking tray, and the rear shell is provided with a drain connector two corresponding to the water outlet of the clean water tank.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention is designed such that water pump one can circulate and replenish the water in the drinking dish; water pump two can circulate the water in the drinking dish, ensuring the water is fresh and thus more attractive to pets (such as cats and dogs) who prefer fresh water. When the water in the drinking dish becomes contaminated, drive component one can rotate the drinking dish to empty the contaminated water, and then water pump one can replenish the water to replace it with fresh water.

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the pet water fountain of this utility model includes a main unit housing 20, on which a clean water tank 21, a first water pump 22, a second water pump 23, a drinking tray 28, and a first drive assembly are provided. The first water pump 22 is used to pump clean water from the clean water tank 21 into the drinking tray 28. The second water pump 23 is used to extract water from the drinking tray 28 and return it to the drinking tray 28, so that the water in the drinking tray 28 circulates. The first drive assembly is used to drive the drinking tray 28 to rotate, so that the water in the drinking tray 28 pours out. This setup allows for the circulation and replenishment of water in the water dish 28 via water pump 22, and the circulation and flow of water in the water dish 28 via water pump 23, ensuring the water is fresh and attracting pets (such as cats and dogs) who prefer fresh water. When the water in the water dish 28 becomes contaminated, the drive assembly 1 can rotate the water dish 28 to empty the contaminated water, which is then replenished by water pump 22 to replace the water with fresh water.

[0021] Furthermore, the main housing 20 is equipped with a water outlet 27, the water outlet end of which corresponds to the water inlet end of the drinking tray 28. The water outlet end of the drinking tray 28 is connected to the water inlet end of the second water pump 23, and the water outlet end of the second water pump 23 is connected to the water inlet end of the water outlet 27. With this configuration, when the second water pump 23 is working, it draws water out of the drinking tray 28 and then returns it to the drinking tray 28 through the water outlet 27, so that the water in the drinking tray 28 is fresh water.

[0022] Furthermore, a water level detection chamber 24 is provided between the water outlet of the water tray 28 and the water inlet of the second water pump 23. The water inlet of the water level detection chamber 24 is connected to the water outlet of the water tray 28, and the water outlet of the water level detection chamber 24 is connected to the water inlet of the second water pump 23. With this setup, when water pump 22 is working, it pumps clean water from the clean water tank 21 into the drinking dish 28, and then into the water level detection chamber 24. When the water level reaches the preset level, water pump 22 stops pumping water. Then water pump 23 starts working, drawing water out of the drinking dish 28 and returning it to the drinking dish 28. When the pet drinks a certain amount of water, the water level drops, and water pump 22 starts working again, and so on. When the water becomes contaminated, the driving component 1 drives the drinking dish 28 to rotate, thus emptying the contaminated water from the drinking dish. At the same time, water pump 23 stops after emptying the water level detection chamber 24. After emptying the water, the driving component 1 drives the drinking dish 28 to rotate back to its original position, and then water pump 22 replenishes the drinking dish 28 with water to replace the clean water.

[0023] Among them, the water level detection structure with a cavity has a better detection effect.

[0024] Furthermore, the water outlet 27 is retractably mounted on the main housing 20, and its extension and retraction are driven by the second drive assembly. When the drinking tray 28 is in a horizontal state, the water outlet 27 extends out of the main housing 20 and is located above the water inlet end of the drinking tray 28. When the drinking tray 28 is driven to rotate by the first drive assembly, the water outlet 27 is driven to retract into the main housing 20 by the second drive assembly. This configuration ensures that when the first drive assembly rotates the drinking tray 28 to pour water, the second drive assembly retracts the water outlet 27 to allow space for the drinking tray 28 to rotate.

[0025] The water outlet 27 is positioned above the water inlet of the drinking tray 28. When water is discharged from the water outlet 27 into the drinking tray 28, it forms a circulating water curtain, which can effectively attract pets (such as cats and dogs) to drink. The second driving component is preferably a cylinder, which drives the water outlet 27 to extend and retract. Alternatively, it can be a motor, such as a motor output end that is threadedly connected to the water outlet 27 to drive the water outlet 27 to extend and retract when the motor is working.

[0026] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a drive component 25 and a transmission component 26. The output end of the drive component 25 is connected to the transmission component 26, and the transmission component 26 is connected to the drinking tray 28. With this configuration, when the drive component 25 is working, it drives the transmission component 26 to rotate, and the transmission component 26 then drives the drinking tray 28 to rotate.

[0027] The transmission component 26 and the drinking tray 28 are preferably connected by a square hole and a square shaft to achieve axial rotation, and the drinking tray 28 is detachable for easy cleaning; wherein the driving component 25 is a motor.

[0028] Of course, the extension and retraction of the water outlet 27 and the rotation of the drinking tray 28 can also be driven by a drive assembly, that is, the drive assembly has two output ends, which are used to drive the extension and retraction of the water outlet 27 and the rotation of the drinking tray 28 respectively.

[0029] Furthermore, the main housing 20 is equipped with a detachable wastewater tank 29, which is located below the drinking tray 28. This arrangement allows wastewater from the drinking tray 28 to be poured into the wastewater tank 29 for collection when the drinking tray 28 is rotated by the drive assembly, facilitating later unified cleaning.

[0030] The sewage tank 29 is equipped with a handle.

[0031] Furthermore, the wastewater tank 29 is equipped with a filter screen assembly at its inlet. This design allows the filter screen assembly to filter impurities from the wastewater, separating the impurities from the water and facilitating subsequent unified cleaning.

[0032] Furthermore, the inlet of the water pump 22 is connected to the outlet of the clean water tank 21, and the outlet of the water pump 22 is connected to the inlet of the outlet component 27. With this configuration, when the water pump 22 is working, it draws clean water from the clean water tank 21 and replenishes the drinking water tray 28 through the outlet component 27.

[0033] Furthermore, the main unit housing 20 includes a front housing 210 and a rear housing 211, which are fixedly connected. The drinking tray 28 is installed on the front housing 210, and the clean water tank 21 is installed on the rear housing 211. This configuration results in a simple structure that makes reasonable use of the installation space of the main unit housing 20, making the structure compact.

[0034] Furthermore, the front shell 210 is provided with a drain connector 213 corresponding to the water outlet of the drinking tray 28, and the rear shell 211 is provided with a drain connector 214 corresponding to the water outlet of the clean water tank 21.

[0035] The drinking tray 28 and the clean water tank 21 are detachable and washable, and the clean water tank 21 is provided with a handle. When the drinking tray 28 and the clean water tank 21 are assembled, the water outlet of the drinking tray 28 is sealed against the water inlet of the drain connector 213, and the water outlet of the clean water tank 21 is sealed against the water inlet of the drain connector 214.

[0036] Preferably, the inlet ends of the drain connector 213 and drain connector 214 are provided with sealing rings.

[0037] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. The specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can make many other forms under the guidance of the present utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims, and all of these forms are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
