The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments.

As shown inFIGS.1and2, the present disclosure provides a pet water dispenser capable of quickly replacing a water pump. The pet water dispenser includes a water tank10, a water pump20, a water outlet column30, and a cable clip device40. The water pump20is connected to the water outlet column30in a plug-in manner; the water pump20is detachably installed in the water tank10; the cable clip device40can be installed vertically in the water tank10; and the cable clip device40can be installed below the water surface. The cable clip device40is configured to clamp a power cable21of the water pump20; and one end of the power cable21is connected with a plug connector22.

More specifically, a receiving base11is provided under the water tank10, and the power cable21passing through the cable clip device40is hidden in the receiving base11. Wherein, the water pump20can be fixed in the water tank10by a suction cup23.

In this embodiment, as shown inFIGS.3and4, the cable clip device40includes an outer cylindrical column41, a first inner cylindrical column42, a second inner cylindrical column43, a spring44, and a cover45. The first inner cylindrical column42and the outer cylindrical column41are relatively fixed; the second inner cylindrical column43vertically and telescopically slides with respect to the first inner cylindrical column42; and the spring44provides an elastic force for the second inner cylindrical column43to slide obliquely upwards; the second inner cylindrical column43is provided with a sliding groove50; the first inner cylindrical column42and the second inner cylindrical column43are connected with a pull rod46arranged therebetween; a hook portion461on a top of the pull rod46can slide in the sliding groove50; the sliding groove50has a first positioning point61and a second positioning point62; the first positioning point61is located below the second positioning point62. The sliding groove50includes a first track51and a second track52connecting the first positioning point61and the second positioning point62; and the first track51and the second track52are both unidirectional tracks. The hook portion461can move from the first positioning point61to the second positioning point62through the first track51; and the hook portion461can move from the second positioning point62to the first positioning point61through the second track52. A middle of the cover45is provided with a cable clip for clamping the power cable21; and the plug connector22can pass through the first inner cylindrical column42and the second inner cylindrical column43an outer periphery of the cover45is provided with a sealing ring452; the cover45is detachably arranged above the second inner cylindrical column43. When the hook portion461is at the second positioning point62, the sealing ring452abuts against and seals an inner surface of the outer cylindrical column41; and when the hook portion461is at the first positioning point61, an abutting and sealing state between the sealing ring452and the inner surface of the outer cylindrical column41is released.

Wherein, the second inner cylindrical column43may be formed with a protrusion431in a radial direction; and the cover45is formed with a positioning groove453. When the sealing ring452abuts against and seals the inner surface of the outer cylindrical column41, the protrusion431fits the positioning groove453, so that the cover45cannot be pulled out vertically from the top of the outer cylindrical column41. When the abutting and sealing state between the sealing ring452and the inner surface of the outer cylindrical column41is released, the protrusion431can leave the positioning groove453so that the cover45can be disassembled.

When the power cable21is set in the cable clip, the power cable21and the cable clip are sealed. When the hook portion461is at the second positioning point62, the spring44is compressed, and the sealing ring452abuts against and seals the inner surface of the outer cylindrical column41, the cover45cannot be disassembled from the second inner cylindrical column43, water in the water tank10cannot penetrate from the outer cylindrical column41to the outside. When the power cable21needs to be disassembled, the cover45is pressed, and the second inner cylindrical column43is pressed by the cover45, then the second inner cylindrical column43will compress the spring44. In the process of the second inner cylindrical column43sliding obliquely downwards, the hook portion461leaves the second positioning point62, under the action of the spring44, the second inner cylindrical column43rises, and the hook portion461will move along the second track52to the first positioning point61. At this time, the abutting and sealing state between the sealing ring452and the inner surface of the outer cylindrical column41is released; and the cover45protrudes from the top of the outer cylindrical column41; the cover45can be disassembled from the second inner cylindrical column43, and the power cable21can be taken out. When the power cable21needs to be reinstalled, the cover45is pressed so that the cover45squeezes the second inner cylindrical column43, the hook portion461leaves the first positioning point61, the hook portion461is returned to the second positioning point62through the first rail51, and the sealing ring452abuts against and seals an inner surface of the outer cylindrical column41.

More specifically, the first track51includes a first sub-track511and a second sub-track512connected to the first sub-track511; and the first sub-track511and the second sub-track512only allow the hook portion461to move toward the second positioning point62. The first sub-track511is an obliquely upward track, the second sub-track512is an obliquely downward track; and the second track52includes a three sub-track521and a fourth sub-track522connected to the third sub-track521. The third sub-track521and the fourth sub-track522only allow the hook portion461to move toward the first positioning point61. A lower end of the first sub-track511is connected to a lower end of the fourth sub-track522, and a lower end of the second sub-track512is connected to a lower end of the third sub-track521.

Shapes of the first rail51and the second rail52may be symmetrically arranged. When the hook portion461is at the first positioning point61, the cover45is pressed, and the hook portion461will enter the second sub-track512along the first sub-track511; the cover45is then immediately released, under the action of the spring44, the hook portion461will directly move to the second positioning point62along the second sub-track512; and then the cover45is pressed again, the hook portion461will enter the fourth sub-track522along the third sub-track521, and under the action of the spring44, the hook portion461will directly go back to the first positioning point61along the fourth sub-track522, and so on.

More specifically a depth of the upper end of the second sub-track512is smaller than that of an upper end of the first sub-track511; and a depth of a lower end of the third sub-track521is smaller than that of a lower end of the second sub-track512; a depth of an upper end of the fourth sub-track522is smaller than that of an upper end of the third sub-track521; and a depth of a lower end of the first sub-track511is smaller than that of a lower end of the fourth sub-track522. After the hook portion461slides along the first sub-track511, the hook portion461will fall into the second sub-track512, and a blocking surface is formed between the upper end of the second sub-track512and the upper end of the first sub-track512to prevent the hook portion461from going backwards from the second sub-track512into the first sub-track511. Similarly, in the moving process of the hook portion461, it is only possible to sequentially move from the first sub-track511to the second sub-track512, then to the third sub-track521, then to the fourth sub-track522, and then back to the first sub-track511.

In the present disclosure, as shown inFIGS.1and2, the water outlet column30is vertically arranged and the water outlet of the water outlet column30gradually expands outward to form a bell-shaped opening31. The top of the water tank10is provided with a water leakage pan12. The water leakage pan12has a plurality of water leakage holes121. A water receiving tray13is provided below the water leakage pan12. The water outlet column30passes through the water receiving tray13. A water leakage opening131is formed between the water receiving tray13and the water outlet column30, and the upper surface of the water receiving tray13is a diversion surface132with a recess in the middle. The water flowing out of the water outlet column30will spread through the bell-shape opening31and fall onto the water leakage pan12. The arrangement of the water leakage opening131on the water leakage pan12not only facilitates the water to fall, but also to reduce the sprinkling of the water. The water leaking from the water leakage pan12will fall onto the water receiving tray13. Since the upper surface of the water receiving tray13is a diversion surface132with a concave in the middle, it is convenient for collection of water. During the process of the water flowing down from the water leakage opening131, the water outlet column30plays a guiding role, and water droplets will not directly fall to the water surface, which can reduce noise. Through the above means, the water can be continuously collected repeatedly.

A bracket14is also provided between the water receiving tray13and the water leakage pan12, and the bracket14is formed with a receiving cavity141. A filter cotton15and a filter activated carbon16are sequentially provided in the receiving cavity141from top to bottom. The filter cotton15and the filter activated carbon16can filter most of the impurities left when pets drink water, improve the cleanliness of the water source, and ensure a safe drinking water of pets.

The bracket14is a light guide bracket14. The light guide bracket14includes a ring142supported on the top of the water tank10, the ring142is exposed; and an LED light17is provided on the periphery of the water tray13. The light emitted by the LED light17can pass through the light guide bracket14. The light emitted by the LED light17will pass through the ring142and be emitted outward, so that a beautiful halo is formed.

The above descriptions are only the preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present disclosure shall be included in the protection scope of the present disclosure.
