[0051] The present application provides an animal water drinking device.

[0052] In the prior art, the animal water drinking device can meet the daily drinking water of pets. Some pets, such as cats, usually like to drink flowing water. The animal water drinking device generally makes the water flow through a water pump for pets to drink. However, in the daily drinking water and activities of pets, the water drinking machine may fall into sundries and dust, causing water pollution, and may also affect the normal operation of the water pump.

[0053] To solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme of the present application defines a water storage cavity for storing water by using a water storage tank, and a water guide pipe is connected to the water storage cavity and the water tray, so that the animal can drink water through the water tray.

The water pumping assembly 2100 comprises a fixing cover 2110 which is mounted on the water storage tank 1100. The fixing cover 2110 is provided with a filter cavity 2120 and a conveying cavity 2130 which are connected to each other. The filter cavity 2120 is connected to the water storage tank 1100.
