Description

Pet drinking bowl

Technical Field

The present utility model relates to a pet drinking bowl, and more particularly, to a pet drinking bowl having a relatively simple structure configured to provide circulating water in a manner that naturally attracts pets, and to allow the pets to drink water at different locations of the bowl.

Background

The pet market is rising, and the demand of pet supplies is continuously increasing. In order to ensure the water intake of the pet, the pet drinking bowl is widely used because it can provide clean and sanitary drinking water for the pet. Some known pet drinkers have the disadvantage of being difficult to assemble, for example, the internal devices in the water tank are often provided separately from the water tank, requiring repeated disassembly and assembly when changing the water or cleaning the water tank. Some known pet drinkers suffer from the disadvantage of having a small drinking area, for example, by providing a spray head that allows water to fall from the spray head, but occupies a central position of the drinker such that the space below is covered by the spray head. Some known pet drinkers have poor water storage in the drinking area, and once the circulating water stops flowing, the pet will have no water to drink in a short time. Some pet drinking bowl water dispenser disk dismouting is inconvenient. Some pet drinkers must be used with a filter or the impeller is easily blocked. Some pet drinkers have a motor for driving the impeller immersed in water, requiring high waterproof measures. Some pet drinkers provide only a single drinking location. Some pet drinkers, after being used for a period of time, can not or hardly discharge water due to pump blockage caused by pet hair or other impurities.

The circumferential wall portion 44 may be integrally formed with the tank 12, the volute 38 further including a cover portion 56, the cover portion 56 being openable to clean the interior of the volute 38, and the rotor 26 may be removed from the recess 28 after the cover portion 56 is opened to clean the interior of the recess 28. The water inlet 40 and the end nozzle 54 may be provided on the cover portion 56.

A seal cap 58 is provided at the slot 30 to prevent foreign matter such as hair, particles, mucus, etc. from entering the groove 28 and to prevent the rotor 26 from stopping rotation due to clogging with foreign matter. The seal cover 58 has a shaft hole (not shown) in which the rotating shaft 50 is inserted, and one end is connected to the rotor 26 and the other end is connected to the impeller 48. The end of the rotating shaft 50 connected with the rotor 26 extends out of the rotor 26, and is provided with a stop collar 60, the stop collar 60 can be accommodated in a stop slot 61 at the bottom of the groove 28, and the stop collar 60 can prevent the rotating shaft 50 from unnecessarily shaking during rotation.

A bracket 62 is disposed within the tank 12. The bracket 62 may be removably or non-removably connected to the tank 12. The bracket 62 may include a front portion 64 and a rear portion 66, wherein the rear portion 66 is formed with a water outlet tube 68, and a water inlet end 70 of the water outlet tube 68 may be connected to the terminal spout 54 of the extension tube 52 to communicate with the water outlet 42, and a water outlet end 72 is formed on a platform 74 at an upper end of the rear portion 66. The front portion 64 is configured as a hollow conduit surrounded by side walls 76 that may be divided into an upper cavity 78 and a lower cavity 80 by a centrally located baffle 77. The volute 38 is located within a lower cavity 80. The lower cavity 80 communicates with the tank 12 through a first through hole 82 provided in the sidewall 76 below the partition 76. The upper cavity 78 communicates with the tank 12 through a second through hole 84 provided in the side wall 76 above the partition 76.

Spray head 86 is inserted over outlet end 72 to communicate with outlet pipe 68. Spray head 86 includes a tubular portion 88 and a head portion 90. The tubular portion 88 is an elongated straight tube having an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the outlet end 72 so as to be insertable within the outlet end 72. When the tubular portion 88 is inserted into the water outlet end 72, the head portion 90 may be supported on the platform 74. The head portion 90 is defined by an outer wall 94 and is kettle-shaped with a flow directing outlet 96 at the spout. The interior of the head portion 90 defines an inner wall 98 spaced from the outer wall 94, the inner wall 98 being generally U-shaped in cross section, and an outlet end 100 of the tubular portion 88 surrounding the inner wall 98 and communicating with the deflector outlet 96 through the open side of the U-shape. A cover 101 is provided over the opening formed at the upper edge of the outer wall 94, the cover 101 being in clearance fit with the deflector outlet 96.

The drinking bowl 102 removably overlaps the upper edge of the side wall 16 of the water tank 12 such that portions of the device or water inside the water tank 12 may not necessarily be visible when the pet drinking machine 10 is assembled. A drinking bowl 102 is located downstream of the diversion outlet 96 and water exiting the diversion outlet 96 will fall into the drinking bowl 102. The drinking bowl 102 includes a substantially planar bottom 104 and a side 106 extending upwardly from the periphery of the bottom 104, the upper end of the side 106 defining a rim 108, the drinking bowl 102 being overlapped by the rim 108 on the tank 12. In an embodiment of the present utility model, the bracket 62 is disposed outside the side portion 106, and the drinking bowl 102 is formed with a concave clearance gap 110, the clearance gap 110 corresponding to the shape of the platform 74 of the bracket 62 such that when the drinking bowl 102 is placed on the water tank 12, the platform 74 is exposed through the clearance gap 110, while the rest of the bracket 62, excluding the platform 74, is not visible within the water tank 12. The upper end surface of the platform 74 may be configured to slope toward the drinking bowl 102.

The side 106 is formed with overflow holes 112, and overflows from the overflow holes 112 when the water level of the water in the water tray 102 is high Yu Yishui by the holes 112. Water overflowing from the overflow hole 112 will flow back to the water tank 12. The overflow aperture 112 may be disposed upstream of the upper cavity 78 of the bracket 62 such that water overflowing from the overflow aperture 112 will flow back to the tank 12 through the upper cavity 78 and the second through-hole 84. A filter 114 may be disposed within the upper cavity 78 for filtering water flowing back into the tank 12. In an embodiment of the present utility model, the overflow aperture 112 is located above the upper cavity 78. The upper cavity 78 may be sized in whole or in part depending on the location of the overflow aperture 112 and/or the size of the filter 114, such as by enlarging the size of the end of the upper cavity 78 near the overflow aperture 112 to form a filter cavity 116 in which the filter 114 may be placed.

In use, a proper amount of water is poured into the water tank 12, and then the pet drinking bowl 10 is assembled and energized, at which time the rotor 26 begins to rotate under the drive of the stator, and at the same time drives the impeller 48 to rotate. Upon rotation of the impeller 48, water in the tank 12 enters the lower cavity 80 from the first through hole 82, then passes through the water inlet 40, the impeller 48, the water outlet 42, the extension pipe 52, the end nozzle 54, the water outlet pipe 68, the tubular portion 88, the head portion 90, and finally flows out of the diversion outlet 96 to fall into the drinking water tray 102. When the water level of the drinking bowl 102 is high Yu Yishui, the water overflows from the overflow hole 112 and falls into the upper cavity 78, and after being filtered by the filter 114, flows back to the water tank 12 from the second through hole 84. The pet may drink water from the drinking bowl 102 or near the diversion outlet 96.

The pet drinking fountain 10 provided by the present utility model has a number of advantages over the prior art: the water circulation changes the dead water in the water tank into running water; allowing the pet to drink water at different positions; can attract the pet to drink water before; the circulating water can be filtered; a drinking water tray capable of storing a large amount of water is provided; the motor is not immersed in water; the impeller can be disassembled and cleaned; the installation is simple; the probability that the rotor can not or hardly discharge water due to stop rotation caused by blockage is reduced.

The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the utility model is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and principles of the utility model.
