It should be noted that the first preset position should be as close to the bottom of the water storage cavity 11 as possible, so that after the liquid in the water storage cavity 11 is completely drunk by the pet, the liquid is replenished into the water storage cavity 11, so as to avoid damage caused by long-term residual of the liquid in the water storage cavity 11. Correspondingly, the second preset position should be close to the top of the water storage cavity 11, but not exceed the top of the water storage cavity 11, so as to avoid the water supplied by the flow channel 20 overflowing from the water storage cavity 11.

The water storage chamber 11 may be directly formed on the base 10. However, considering that dirt is easily adhered to the inner wall of the water storage chamber 11, in order to facilitate cleaning of the inner wall of the water storage chamber 11, in an embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 to 5, the intelligent pet water feeder may further include a tub 50, the tub 50 is detachably mounted on the base 10, and the water storage chamber 11 is formed in the tub 50. Thus, when dirt is adhered to the inner wall of the water storage cavity 11, the user can take out the water basin 50 from the base 10, so that the user only needs to clean the water basin 50, and the operation is convenient.

With respect to the removable manner of the basin 50 from the base 10, in one possible embodiment, the base 10 is provided with a receiving chamber 12 therein. The top of the base 50 is provided with a first opening 13, the bottom of the base 50 is provided with a second opening 14, and the first opening 13 and the second opening 14 are communicated with the accommodating cavity 12. The basin 50 is adapted to be mounted into the receiving chamber 12 through the second opening 14. And when the tub 50 is installed into the receiving chamber 12 through the second opening 14, the top opening of the water storage chamber 11 communicates with the first opening 13 so that the pet drinks the liquid in the water storage chamber 11 through the first opening 13.

In this embodiment, when the smart pet water dispenser is placed on the ground, the distance between the first opening 13 and the ground coincides with the height of the tub 50. Thus, the basin 50 and the base 10 can be installed simply by placing the basin 50 in the accommodating cavity 12 and placing both the basin 50 and the base 10 on the ground, which is convenient for installation. And when needs clearance flourishing basin 50, the user only need lift up base 10, flourishing basin 50 still remains on ground under self gravity effect to realize the dismantlement to flourishing basin 50 and base 10, obviously, no matter dismantle or install between flourishing basin 50 of above-mentioned mode and the base 10 and all very simple and convenient, improved user's use experience.

Of course, the water basin 50 and the base 10 may be detachably connected by a screw or a snap-fit connection, which is not particularly limited in the present application.

In one possible embodiment, the smart pet water dispenser further includes a float 60. The floating ladle 60 is placed in the water storage cavity 11, and the floating ladle 60 is used for floating above the liquid in the water storage cavity 11, so that the liquid in the water storage cavity 11 is reduced from splashing outside to influence the drinking environment of pets, and the floating ladle 60 can also prevent the pets from extending the whole chin into the liquid, so that the possibility of black chin of the pets is reduced.

Regarding the specific structure of the above-mentioned induction control device 40, in one possible embodiment, please refer to fig. 1, 4, 6 and 7 together, the induction control device 40 may include a control board 41, a first sensor 42 and a second sensor 43. The first sensor 42 and the second sensor 43 are connected with the base 10, and the first sensor 42, the second sensor 43 and the control valve 43 are electrically connected with the control board 41. When the tub 50 is mounted on the base 10, the first sensor 42 is located at a first preset position, and the first sensor 42 is used for detecting whether the water level in the water storage chamber 11 reaches the first preset position. The second sensor 43 is located at a second preset position, and the second sensor 43 is configured to detect whether the water level in the water storage chamber 11 reaches the second preset position.

In the present embodiment, the first sensor 42 and the second sensor 43 may be photoelectric sensors. Because the float ladle 60 floats above the liquid in the water storage cavity 11, the position of the float ladle 60 in the water storage cavity 11 represents the position of the water level in the water storage cavity 11, and therefore, the first sensor 42 and the second sensor 43 can determine whether the water level in the water storage cavity 11 is at the first preset position and the second preset position according to whether the water level is blocked by the float ladle 60.

However, in practical applications, there are often some dirt entering the water storage chamber 11 from the outside, and the dirt may block the first sensor 42 and the second sensor 43 during the sinking process of the liquid in the water storage chamber 11, so that the control board 41 generates erroneous judgment information on the water level, and thus, the problem that no water or clean water overflows in the water storage chamber 11 may occur.

To solve the above problems, in one possible embodiment, as shown in fig. 6 and 7, the smart pet water dispenser may further include a detection tub 70, the detection tub 70 being located in the receiving chamber 12, and the detection tub 70 extending from the top of the base 10 toward the bottom of the base 10, the detection tub 70 being located in the basin 50 when the basin 50 is mounted on the base 10. The detection barrel 70 is provided with a first cavity 71 and a second cavity 72, a communication hole 73 is formed in the bottom of the first cavity 71, the first cavity 71 is communicated with the water storage cavity 11 through the communication hole 73, and a floating piece 74 is further contained in the first cavity 71. The first sensor 42 and the second sensor 43 are installed in the second chamber 72, and the first sensor 42 and the second sensor 43 determine the water level in the water storage chamber 11 by detecting whether or not they are shielded by the float 74.

In the present embodiment, the liquid in the water storage chamber 11 enters the first chamber 71 through the communication hole 73, so that the water level in the first chamber 71 is maintained to be identical with the water level in the water storage chamber 11. Thus, the water levels detected by the first sensor 42 and the second sensor 43 represent the water level conditions in the water storage chamber 11. At the same time, the liquid in the water storage cavity 11 should not enter the second cavity 72, so that the use safety of the first sensor 42 and the second sensor 43 is ensured.

In practical applications, the blocking wall between the first cavity 71 and the second cavity 72 should be made of a light-transmitting material, so that the first sensor 42 and the second sensor 43 located in the second cavity 72 can determine whether they are blocked by the float 74 in the first cavity 71. Also, the communication hole 73 should not be excessively large, and when the liquid flows from the communication hole 73 to the first chamber 71, the smaller communication hole 73 can block the liquid in the water storage chamber 11, so that the liquid enters the first chamber 71 to be gentle, and the situation of false detection caused by large shaking amplitude of the float 74 is avoided.

In one possible embodiment, referring again to fig. 6, the probe barrel 70 further includes a draft tube 75. The draft tube 75 extends from the bottom of the detection tub 70 to the top, and the flow passage 20 communicates with the top of the draft tube 75 so as to extend to the bottom of the water storage chamber 11 through the draft tube 75. So, outside water source can flow to the water storage intracavity through runner 20 and drainage tube 75 in proper order to the delivery port of drainage tube 75 is close to the bottom of water storage chamber 11, thereby makes the clear water that flows out from drainage tube 75 more gentle flow to the water storage intracavity 11, avoids splash to the outside, and prevents that liquid level rocking range is great to lead to induction control device 40 to appear the false detection condition.

Correspondingly, a notch 61 can be formed in the side surface of the floating ladle 60, and the shape of the notch 61 is matched with the outer contour of the detection barrel 70, so that the floating ladle 60 is connected with the detection barrel 70 in an up-and-down sliding manner through the notch 61, and the up-and-down sliding stability of the floating ladle 60 in the water storage cavity 11 is ensured.

In one possible embodiment, a battery compartment and switch button are also provided in the base 10 to accommodate a battery. The switch key is positioned on the outer surface of the base 10, so that the user can operate the switch key to control the on-off of the electric connection between the battery and the control panel 41.
