After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive element, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.

[0020] This embodiment relates to a pet water dispenser, see reference... Figures 1-3The system includes a pump body 100, a base 200, a drive unit 300, a first magnetic chuck 410, and a second magnetic chuck 420. The base 200 has a mounting cavity 211, and the drive unit 300 is assembled within the mounting cavity 211. A first groove 221 is formed on one side of the base 200; the input end of the pump body 100 connects to the first groove 221. The first magnetic chuck 410 is assembled on the pump body 100, and the second magnetic chuck 420 is assembled on the output end of the drive unit 300 and cooperates with the first magnetic chuck 410. When the drive unit 300 is activated, the pump body 100 is rotated by the magnetic drive between the second magnetic chuck 420 and the first magnetic chuck 410. Specifically, the first magnetic chuck 410 is assembled on the input end of the pump body 100, and the first groove 221 contains water for pets to drink. The pump body 100 is used to extract the water from the first groove 221. The pump body 100 and the drive component 300 for driving the pump body 100 to rotate are separately arranged and located in different spaces. The input end of the pump body 100 is connected to the first groove 221, while the drive component 300 for driving the pump body 100 to rotate is placed in the mounting cavity 211 of the base 200. The pump body 100 is driven to rotate by the magnetic drive between the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420. This physically isolates the electrically powered drive component 300 from the water, achieving water-electricity separation, effectively avoiding the risk of leakage, and ensuring high safety during use. At the same time, the water-electricity separation design also facilitates daily cleaning and reduces the risk of water seeping into the drive component 300 during cleaning.

[0021] In this embodiment, both the first magnetic attractor 410 and the second magnetic attractor 420 are permanent magnets. In some embodiments, the first magnetic attractor 410 and the second magnetic attractor 420 can also be other components capable of generating magnetic forces with each other. In this embodiment, the pump body 100 is an Archimedes screw pump. In some embodiments, the pump body 100 can also be other screw pumps. In this embodiment, the drive component 300 is a motor. In some embodiments, the drive component 300 can also be a motor.

[0022] Furthermore, referring to Figures 3-5 Two second magnetic attractors 420 are provided; the two second magnetic attractors 420 and the first magnetic attractor 410 are arranged in an isosceles triangle; wherein the first magnetic attractor 410 is located at the vertex of the isosceles triangle. Specifically, the two second magnetic attractors 420 are located at the two ends of the base of the isosceles triangle. The line connecting the center of the first magnetic attractor 410 and the center of the two second magnetic attractors 420 is of equal length. The central axis of the first magnetic attractor 410 and the central axis of the output end of the drive unit 300 are on the same straight line, which is perpendicular to the line connecting the two second magnetic attractors 420. Specifically, the magnetic poles of the two second magnetic attractors 420 facing the first magnetic attractor 410 are of the same polarity, for example, both are N poles or S poles. Correspondingly, the magnetic poles of the first magnetic attractor 410 facing the second magnetic attractor 420 are S poles or N poles.

[0023] Furthermore, this pet water dispenser also includes a mounting bracket 500. The mounting bracket 500 is located within the mounting cavity 211, with one end mounted on the output end of the drive unit 300.

The mounting bracket 500 has two second mounting slots 510, each for mounting a second magnetic member 420. The design of the first mounting slot 110 and the second mounting slots 510 facilitates the cooperation between the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420, while also restricting the position of the first magnetic member 410 and the second magnetic member 420 to prevent displacement. Specifically, the two second mounting slots 510 are parallel and spaced apart.

[0024] Furthermore, referring to Figures 3-5 This pet water fountain also includes a water tank 600. The water tank 600 is detachably mounted on the side of the base 200 where the first groove 221 is located, and the first water outlet 631 of the water tank 600 communicates with the first groove 221. The pump body 100 is detachably mounted between the water tank 600 and the base 200, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the entire pet water fountain for cleaning and maintenance. This prevents bacterial contamination caused by prolonged use without cleaning, thus protecting the pet's drinking water health. Specifically, the water tank 600 stores water for the pet to drink, which flows through the first water outlet 631 into the first groove 221, and the pump body 100 draws water from the first groove 221.

[0025] Furthermore, referring to Figures 3-6 The base 200 includes a base 210 and a water bowl 220 detachably mounted on the top side of the base 210. The water bowl 220 has a first groove 221 and a second groove 222 communicating with the first groove 221; the output end of the pump body 100 communicates with the second groove 222. Specifically, the first groove 221 is located on the bottom side of the water tank 600, and the second groove 222 is located on the side away from the water tank 600, which is the area where the pet can directly drink water. The water bowl 220 is detachably mounted on the top side of the base 210 for easy disassembly and cleaning. The pump body 100 draws water from the first groove 221 into the second groove 222 to achieve water circulation between the first groove 221 and the second groove 222, reducing the growth of bacteria in stagnant water and attracting the pet to drink actively. In this embodiment, the water bowl 220 is snapped onto the base 210, and the base 210 has an installation cavity 211. In some embodiments, the water basin 220 can also be inserted into the base 210.

The pump body 100 cover prevents water leakage or backflow during the transportation process and ensures that the water flow is transmitted along the spiral direction of the pump body 100; at the same time, the pump body 100 cover also serves to protect the pump body 100. The hollow structure 720 connects the cavity 710 and the first groove 221 to facilitate water flow, and also allows the first magnetic suction member 410 located at the input end of the pump body 100 to be exposed, so that the first magnetic suction member 410 can cooperate with the second magnetic suction member 420. Furthermore, multiple protrusions are provided on the bottom wall of the first groove 221, defining a limiting area for limiting the pump body 100 cover. The multiple protrusions abut against the outer wall of the pump body 100 cover.

[0027] The specific working process is as follows: The drive unit 300 is activated, and its output end rotates, causing the two second magnetic suction components 420 to rotate synchronously. The first magnetic suction component 410 and the second magnetic suction component 420 generate a magnetic attraction. Under the action of the magnetic attraction, the first magnetic suction component 410 is driven to rotate synchronously. The first magnetic suction component 410 is assembled on the input end of the pump body 100, thereby driving the pump body 100 to rotate synchronously, thus extracting water from the first groove 221. The pump body 100 draws water from the first groove 221 through its input end, and the water is transported through the cavity 710 of the pump body 100 cover and the pump body 100 itself. Finally, the water is guided to the second groove 222 by the output end of the pump body 100 and the second outlet 730 of the pump body 100 cover for the pet to drink. In this embodiment, there are two protrusions. In some embodiments, there may be four protrusions.

[0028] In this embodiment, the top side of the base 200 is equipped with multiple water level indicator lights 810 and water storage days indicator lights 820.
