[0097] It is worth mentioning that the water bottle 100 for pet controls its water delivery based on the displacement of the displacement valve 22, so that the pet breeder can achieve the displacement by applying a displacement force to the displacement valve 22. The displacement of the displacement valve 22 is used to control the water delivery, so that the operation of the water bottle 100 for pet can be easily realized, and the direct or indirect contact with the water during the operation is avoided, and the user is provided with a good use experience, so as to ensure the health of the pet and the pet breeder.
[0098] In particular, the water access hole 221 or the water sealing member 222 of the displacement valve 22 is selectively aligned with the water port 211 by changing the relative position between the displacement valve 22 and the fixing seat 21 by moving the displacement valve 22. It can be understood that there are various ways to achieve the displacement of the displacement valve 22 on the fixing seat 21, such as the displacement valve 22 can be displaced on the fixing seat 21 by means of swinging the displacement valve 22, rotating the displacement valve 22, and pulling the displacement valve 22. Alternatively, in some embodiments of the present invention, the displacement valve 22 is fixed, and the relative position between the fixing seat 21 and the displacement valve 22 can be changed by moving the fixing seat 21, so as to selectively align the access hole 221 or the water sealing member 222 of the displacement valve 22 with the water port 211, the manner for achieving the change of the relative position is not limited in the present invention.
[0099] Preferably, in this embodiment of the present invention, the relative position between the displacement valve 22 and the fixing seat 21 is preferably changed in the manner of linear displacement of the displacement valve 22 on the fixing seat 22, so as to accurately align the water access hole 221 or the water sealing member 222 with the water port 211, the effectiveness of the water delivery control by the pet breeder is realized, and it is convenient for the pet breeder to control the operation of the switch unit 20, and it is simple and easy to realize the control of water delivery.
[0100] More specifically, the fixing seat 21 comprises two mutually parallel limiting walls 212 disposed on the same side thereof, and a displacement channel 213 is formed between the two limiting walls 212, wherein the water port 211 is located in the displacement channel 213, wherein the displacement valve 22 is disposed in the displacement channel 213 in a manner that it can be displaced in a direction parallel to the limiting wall 212, thereby achieving the states aligning the water access hole 221 or the water sealing member 222 with the water port 211, so as to realize the change of the relative position between the displacement valve 22 and the fixing seat 21 in the way of linear displacement of the displacement valve 22 on the fixing seat 22, so that the water access hole 221 or the water sealing member 222 can be precisely aligned with the water port 211, and thus the pet breeder can freely allow or prohibit the water in the bottle body 30 from entering the flexible water bowl 10, and direct or indirect contact with water during operation is avoided.
[0101] Furthermore, the displacement valve 22 can be ejected out or retracted into the displacement channel 213. When the displacement valve 22 is retracted into the displacement channel 213, one of the water access hole 221 and the water sealing member 222 is aligned with the water port 211. When the displacement valve 22 is in a state where the displacement valve 22 is ejected out from the displacement channel 213, the other one of the water access hole 221 and the water sealing member 222 is aligned with the water port 211, so as to form the conduction to the water port 211 or close the conduction to the water port 211.
[0102] It is worth mentioning that the displacement valve 22 can be quickly ejected from the displacement channel 213, so that the operation of the switch unit 20 by the pet breeder is more labor-saving, and the displacement of the displacement valve 22 which is retracted into or ejected out of the displacement channel 213 can be utilized to precisely align one of the water access hole 221 and the water sealing member 222 with the water port 211, so as to realize the effective control of water delivery by the pet breeder.
[0103] Specifically, the switch unit 20 comprises an elastic member 23, an abutting wall 214 is provided on the fixing base 21 at one end of the displacement channel 213, and one end of the elastic member 23 is fixed to the abutting wall 214, the other end of the elastic member 23 is biasing against the displacement valve 22 for urging the displacement valve 22 to pop up from the other end of the displacement channel 213. Specifically, when the displacement valve 22 is retracted and received in the displacement channel 213, the elastic member 23 is compressed and can push the displacement valve 22 to urge the displacement valve 20 to be in a state tend to pop up from the displacement channel 213, so that the displacement valve 22 can be pop up quickly from the displacement channel 213 to reset its position, and thus the pet breeder can move the displacement valve 22 with less effort to align one of the water access hole 221 or the water sealing member 222 of the displacement valve 22 with the water port 211.
[0104] Furthermore, the switch unit 20 comprises a positioning rod 24 which comprises two connecting arms 241 extended from both ends thereof in a same radial direction, wherein a first connecting arm 241a of the positioning rod 24 is connected to the fixing seat 21, and a second connecting arm 241b of the positioning rod 24 is connected to the displacement valve 22 to retain the displacement valve 22 in the displacement channel 213. Specifically, based on the design and selection of the length of the positioning rod 24, the positioning rod 24 is connected to the fixing seat 21 and the displacement valve 22 for pulling the displacement valve 22, so as to precisely align the water access hole 221 or the water sealing member 222 of the displacement valve 22 with the water port 211, and prevent the displacement valve 22 from falling off the displacement channel 213, so as to ensure the safety of the switch unit 20, as well as the working stability and structural stability of the switch unit 20.
[0105] More specifically, one of the limiting walls 212 of the fixing seat 21 is provided with a rod retaining hole 2121, wherein one of the connecting arms 241 of the positioning rod 24 is buckled to the rod retaining hole 2121. Specifically, in this embodiment of the present invention, the positioning rod 24 is connected to the fixing seat 21 in a state in which one of the connecting arms 241, which is the first connecting arm 241a, passes through the rod retaining hole 2121, wherein the side of the displacement valve 22 facing the limit wall 212 connected to the positioning rod 24 is provided with a rod displacement groove 224, wherein in the state of the displacement valve 22 being displaced in the displacement channel 213, the second connecting arm 241b of the positioning rod 24 moves in the rod displacement groove 224, wherein the rod displacement groove 224 is provided with a guiding rod retaining buckle 2241 which has a buckle end 22411. When the displacement valve 22 is retracted and received in the displacement channel 213, the second connecting arm 241b is snap-fitted to the buckle end 22411 of the guiding rod retaining buckle 2241, so as to retain the displacement valve 22 in position and prevent the displacement valve 22 from being pushed by the elastic member 23 to move. In particular, in the state of the second connecting arm 241b is retained at the buckle end 22411 of the guiding rod retaining buckle 2241, the elastic member 23 is in a compressed state, and the displacement valve 22 cannot be restored due to the pulling of the positioning rod 24, so that the displacement valve 22 is received in the displacement channel. 213 and is maintained in that state. When the displacement valve 22 is subjected to an external force, the second connecting arm 241b of the positioning rod 24 is separated from the buckle end 22411 of the guiding rod retaining buckle 2241, the elastic member 23 restores its shape and pushes the displacement valve 22 to protrude from the displacement channel 213, thereby forming a state in which the displacement valve 22 pops up from the displacement channel 213. In the state in which the displacement valve 2 is ejected out from the displacement channel 213, the second connecting arm 241b of the positioning rod 24 is buckled to an edge 22413 of the rod displacement groove 224 to prevent the displacement valve 22 from falling off the displacement channel 213 and ensure the operational stability and structural stability of the switch unit 20.
[0106] Particularly, the guiding rod retaining buckle 2241 further has a guiding end 22412, wherein the guiding end 22412 of the guiding fixing rod buckle 2241 is used to guide the movement path of the second connecting arm 241b of the positioning rod 24 in the rod displacement groove 224. In other words, when the displacement valve 22 is forced to move to drive the second connecting arm 241b of the positioning rod 24 to move in the rod displacement groove 224, the second connecting arm 241b of the positioning rod 24 can be guided to be buckled to the buckle end 22411 of the guiding rod retaining buckle 2241, or the second connecting arm 241b of the positioning rod 24 can be guided to be buckled to the edge 22413 of the displacement groove 224 to respectively form a state in which the displacement valve 22 is received in the displacement channel 213 and a state in which the displacement valve 22 is ejected and popped up from the displacement channel 231. As an example, on the premise that the displacement valve 22 is in the state of being popped up from the displacement channel 231, the pet breeder can apply a force to the displacement valve 22, specifically, the pet breeder can push the displacement valve 22 to displace toward the abutting wall 214 of the fixing wall 21, thereby resulting in the displacement of the second connecting arm 241b in the rod displacement groove 224, wherein the guiding end 22412 of the guiding rod retaining buckle 2241 has at least one inclined surface, and the second connecting arm 241b biases against the inclined surface of the guiding end 22412 and moves along the inclined surface of the guiding end 22412 during the displacement of the second connecting arm 241b until it reaches to the buckle end 22411 of the guiding rod retaining buckle 2241, so as to be buckled to the buckle end 22411 to form a state in which the displacement valve 22 is received in the displacement channel 213. By applying a force to the displacement valve 22, specifically applying a force to the displacement valve 22 in the direction away from the abutting wall 214 of the fixing seat 21, the second connecting arm 241b is separated from the buckle end 22411 of the guiding rod retaining buckle 2241, the elastic member 23 restores its shape and pushes the displacement valve 22 to protrude from the displacement channel 213, and to drive the second connecting arm 241b to displace in the rod displacement groove 224, wherein the second connecting arm 241b is displaced along the guiding end 22412 of the guiding rod retaining buckle 2241, so as to be guided and buckled to the edge 22413 of the rod displacement groove 224.
[0107] It is worth mentioning that in order to further improve the accuracy of the displacement direction of the displacement valve 22 in the displacement channel 213, so as to ensure that the water access hole 221 or the water sealing member 222 can be accurately aligned with the water port 211, in this embodiment of the present invention, the abutting wall 214 is provided with a guiding column 215, wherein the guiding column 215 is sleeved by the elastic member 23 to fix and guide the movement of the elastic member 23, and to avoid the unwanted deformation of the elastic member 23 during the compression of the elastic member 23, so as to ensure the structural stability of the switch unit 20. In addition, based on the fixing and guiding of the elastic member 23 by the guiding column 215, the probability of unwanted deformation of the elastic member 23 during the compression process is greatly reduced, thus ensuring that the direction of the pushing force generated when the elastic member 23 is restored is consistent, thereby ensuring that when the elastic member 23 is restored, the pushing force applied to the displacement valve 22 is consistent, so as to improve the accuracy of the displacement direction of the displacement valve 22 in the displacement channel 213.
[0108] In particular, the side of the displacement valve 22 facing the elastic member 23 is provided with a guiding cavity 223, wherein the other end of the elastic member 23 is abutted against a cavity wall of the guiding cavity 223, so as to guide the movement direction in which the elastic member 23 pushes the displacement valve 22 to displace, so as to ensure that the displacement valve 22 can be displaced in the displacement channel 213 in a direction parallel to the limiting walls 212, and thus the accuracy of the displacement direction of the displacement valve 22 in the displacement channel 213 is further improved to ensure that the water access hole 221 or the water sealing member 222 can be accurately aligned with the water port 211.
[0109] Furthermore, the bottle body 30 is coupled to the flexible water bowl 10 via the switch unit 20, wherein the opening 32 of the bottle body 30 is disposed with an opening connecting portion 33 near and surrounding the opening 32, the switch unit 20 comprises a cap connecting portion 25 matched with the opening connecting portion 33, wherein the cap connecting portion 25 is suitable for being detachably connected with the opening connecting portion 33, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the water bottle 100 for pet and maintain the hygienic state of the water bottle 100 for pet.
[0110] In particular, the cap connecting portion 25 is disposed on a side opposite to the side of the fixing base 21 where the limiting walls 212 are disposed, wherein when the cap connecting portion 25 and the opening connecting parts 33 are connected to each other, the water port 211 of the fixing seat 21 is aligned with the opening 32 of the bottle body 30, so that the water access hole 221 of the displacement valve 22 is aligned with the water port 211, the water stored in the cavity 31 of the bottle body 30 is allowed to pass through the opening 32, the water port 211, the water access hole 21 and the water inlet 12 and reach the flexible water bowl 10.
[0111] It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment of the present invention, the cap connecting portion 25 and the opening connecting portion 33 are embodied as threads that match with each other, so that the detachable connection between the cap connecting portion 25 and the opening connecting portion 33 can be easily realized, and excellent air tightness can also be achieved, so as to prevent the water stored in the cavity 31 of the bottle body 30 from seeping out. It can be understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the cap connecting portion 25 and the opening connecting portion 33 may also be coupled with each other by other detachable connecting structures, such as mutually engaging airtight elements and mutually magnetically attracting magnetic elements.
