A flow-controlled pet watering fountain and method of use, thereof, is disclosed. The watering fountain utilizes a pump to direct water up a lift pipe and into a reservoir, whereupon the drinking water falls gravitationally into a drinking basin. Further, the watering fountain allows for control of water flow by selectively opening and closing a flow control valve that is located above the pump and along the water lift pipe. In its open position, the flow control valve allows water to fall back into an interior basin by diverting the flow of water into a return pipe. This arrangement helps prevent premature failure of the pump by allowing the pump to run under substantially the same load and without reducing the total water cycles through the filters. The watering device also allows the water flow from the spout to be completely turned off.

An intake valve and a drain system are located in the lower portion of a stanchion or outer pipe which is preferably dimensioned so that these structures can be located below the frost line underground so as not to be subject to freezing. The intake valve structure includes a body which fits tightly within the stanchion and which has a central bore which receives, at its uppermost end, the lower end of the conduit. The lower end of the bore can be fitted with a metal fitting and a guide washer. The improvements to the prior art include a second drain over the top of the bowl via indents. A concave collar under the bowl guides the water-carrying pipe. A new flapper has a boot type pressure point and a metal pivot assembly. A new valve is overmolded using a hard plastic interior and a soft plastic top.

A cable clip device, including outer cylindrical column, first inner cylindrical column relatively fixed to outer cylindrical column, second inner cylindrical column provided with a sliding groove, spring and cover; the second inner cylindrical column vertically and telescopically slides with respect to the first inner cylindrical column; the first and second inner cylindrical columns are connected with a pull rod; a hook portion on a top of the pull rod can slide in the sliding groove which has first and second positioning points and includes unidirectional first and second tracks connecting the first and the second positioning points; a middle of the cover is provided with a cable clip for clamping cable; a plug connector can pass through the first and second inner cylindrical columns; an outer periphery of the cover is provided with a sealing ring; the cover is detachably arranged above the second inner cylindrical column.

A pet water dispenser may include a water tank having an upper opening, a pump, a water supply pipe connected to the pump to transfer water, and a water supply hole formed in a water supply plate communicating with the water supply pipe. A removable inner assembly may include the pump, the water supply pipe, and the water supply plate, and may further include a wireless power receiver to receive power from a wireless power transmitter, which may include a plurality of partially overlapping coils.

A system for feeding farm animals comprises two milk tanks and a drawing line. The two milk tanks are configured to receive a stored full milk quantity and the drawing line comprises two drawing line portions each comprising a drain valve and each connected to one of the two milk tanks. A preparing unit is configured to prepare a liquid ration and a connecting line configured to connect the drawing line with the preparing unit. a cleaning unit comprises at least one cleaning agent container configured to receive a cleaning agent, and a cleaning agent supply apparatus configured to supply cleaning agent from the cleaning agent container to the two milk tanks. A control is configured to actuate the cleaning unit, the preparing unit, and each drain valve to guide the cleaning agent guided from one of the two milk tanks through the connecting line into the preparing unit.

There is provided a liquid supply apparatus eliminating the need for a power supply, having relatively light weight and small footprint, and ensuring a stable liquid supply. The liquid supply apparatus includes a first support member, a second support member, a balloon having one end supported by the first support member and the other end supported by the second support member, and a casing having a constant longitudinal length. The balloon is disposed in the casing and is configured so as to be able to hold a liquid therein and discharge the liquid therefrom. When the balloon holds the liquid, the one end and the other end of the balloon are positioned in the case.

A liquid dispenser may include a container or tank having an upper opening and in which water is stored, a pump provided in the container, a water supply pipe through which water discharged from the pump is transferred, a water supply plate having an upper surface over which water flows, a container support or base provided below the container, and a thermoelectric element provided in the container support to cool the bottom plate of the container.

The invention relates to a drinking system for example for livestock comprising a dosing system for dosing of at least one additive. The invention further relates to the use of such a drinking system. The invention also relates to a method for improving a drinking system for example for livestock comprising a dosing system.

The present disclosure provides a pet drinking device, including a support base, a water storage container, a cover member, a water injection channel, a water return channel, a water drinking disc, a water pumping device, and an electric control unit. A first accommodation cavity and an accommodation space having at least one opening on one side of the first accommodation cavity are formed on the support base. The water storage container is capable of being take out or placed into the accommodation space from the at least one opening. The cover member is formed above the support base to enclose the first accommodation cavity and cover the accommodation space. The water injection channel is formed on the cover member and/or the support base and communicated with the first accommodation cavity.

A liquid dispenser may include a water tank having a wall opened at an upper side, a pump provided inside the water tank, a water supply pipe connected to the pump to transfer water, a water supply plate provided at a position higher than the wall of the water tank and having a water supply hole communicating with the water supply pipe and an upper surface over which water supplied from the water supply hole flows, and a water guide formed within the opening of the wall of the water tank and spaced apart from and below the water supply plate. The water guide may have a hole to discharge the water dropped from the water supply plate to the water tank and to filter the water.
