According to a preferred embodiment, the fountain cartridge 100 or housing 130 may be arranged in a manner that creates an air cavity between the motor 111 of the water pump 110 and the impeller 112 of the water pump 110 to reduce direct impact of water flow on the water pump 110 or the seal structure of the water pump 110. For example, the fountain cartridge 100 may preferably include a water shut-off portion 180, the water shut-off portion 180 being disposed between the pump mount 170 and the impeller 112 and being in close contact with the pump mount 170 to form a fourth chamber 154 between the motor 111 and the impeller 112 of the water pump 110, the fourth chamber 154 being open downward to form an air chamber between the motor 111 of the water pump 110 and the impeller 112 of the water pump 110, to reduce direct impact of water flow on the sealing structure of the water pump 110. The utility model discloses a following beneficial technological effect can also be realized at least to this mode: firstly, an air cavity is formed between the motor 111 and the impeller 112 of the water pump 110, so that the impact of water flow on a sealing structure of the water pump 110 is reduced, and the reliability of the water pump 110 is improved; secondly, the situation that the motor 111, particularly a sealing structure between the motor 111 and a motor shaft, is always immersed in water can be avoided, and the reliability of the water pump 110 is improved; thirdly, the air cavity can reduce the impact of the motor shaft of rivers and reduce the corruption of abominable water source to the motor shaft.

According to a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the water insulating part 180 facing the inner wall of the fourth chamber 154 may be provided with a first reverse taper 181 which gradually decreases from top to bottom to allow the liquid in the fourth chamber 154 to have a tendency to flow toward the second chamber 152 under the action of gravity. The utility model discloses a following beneficial technological effect can be realized at least to this mode: first, the fluid within the fourth chamber 154 is facilitated to flow out, and particularly, when the fountain cartridge 100 is stored after being removed from the water, water accumulation within the fourth chamber 154 can be prevented; secondly, when the water pump 110 pumps water, because the bottom of the inner wall of the water isolation part 180 facing the fourth chamber 154 is provided with the first inverted conical surface 181 which is gradually reduced from top to bottom, part of the water enters the fourth chamber 154 under the action of the water pump 110 and can be rapidly gathered to the bottom of the first inverted conical surface 181 under the action of gravity to form a water sealing film with a certain thickness, and as the entering water increases, the increased internal air pressure forms a reaction force against the external water pressure, thereby preventing the external water flow from further entering the fourth chamber 154.

According to a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the water insulating part 180 facing the second chamber 152 may be provided with a second reverse tapered surface 182 which is gradually reduced from the top to the bottom. The second chamber 152 and the second inverted conical surface 182 may be arranged such that the cross-sectional area of the water flow path decreases from bottom to top in the area of the second inverted conical surface 182. The utility model discloses a following beneficial technological effect can be realized at least to this mode: firstly, the mode can pressurize the water flow; secondly, this mode can reduce the kinetic energy of the fountain core 100 that is converted because the water flow strikes the water insulating part 180, let the energy convert the kinetic energy of the fountain more.

According to a preferred embodiment, the outer wall of the water isolation segment 180 facing the second chamber 152 may be provided as a plane perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the motor shaft of the water pump 110 to allow a portion of the water flow to impact the plane of the water isolation segment 180 and be converted into kinetic energy of the fountain core 100 each time water pumping is initiated. The utility model discloses a following beneficial technological effect can be realized at least to this mode: firstly, the mode can also play a role in pressurizing the water flow; secondly, this approach can increase the kinetic energy of the fountain mechanism 100 converted from water flow impacting the water isolation portion 180, and in particular, allow the floating fountain to shake more greatly on the water surface each time water pumping is initiated.

According to a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the bottom hole of the water stop portion 180 surrounding the motor shaft of the water pump 110 may be provided with a third reverse tapered surface 183 that is gradually reduced from top to bottom. The upper portion of the third reverse tapered surface 183 may be engaged with the first reverse tapered surface 181. The lower portion of the third reverse tapered surface 183 may engage with the second reverse tapered surface 182. The taper angle of the third reverse taper surface 183 may be smaller than the taper angle of the first reverse taper surface 181. The utility model discloses a following beneficial technological effect can be realized at least to this mode: first, this approach can make the water at the junction of the first inverted conical surface 181 and the second inverted conical surface 182 easier to flow out of the fourth chamber 154; second, this approach better prevents external water flow into fourth chamber 154.

According to a preferred embodiment, the projected contour of the bottom hole of the water stop 180 does not intersect the projected contour of the several blades of the impeller 112 of the water pump 110 when projected towards a projected plane perpendicular to the motor shaft of the water pump 110. That is, the projected contours of the several impellers 112 may surround the periphery of the projected contour of the bottom hole, but have no intersection with each other. Because the middle of the blades of the impeller 112 has a connecting portion connecting the blades, the connecting portion is generally cylindrical, and the cross-sectional area of the bottom hole is smaller than that of the connecting portion, so as to avoid high-speed water flow and allow less water to enter the fourth chamber 154.
