DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0046] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

EXAMPLE 1

[0047] Shown in FIG. 1 is a pet drinking bowl component which comprises a steel pipe 1, a copper head 3 inlayed at one end of the steel pipe 1, a seal ring 6 arranged in the copper head 3, and a steel ball 7 movable in the steel pipe 1 and blocked by the seal ring 6. A seal ring mounting part 5 is arranged in a copper pipe 3, and a seal ring 6 is arranged on the seal ring mounting part 5.

[0048] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, an end of the copper head 3 is chamfered, a caliber of an inner wall of the copper head 3 is gradually reduced along a water outlet direction, an inner diameter of the seal ring 6 is reduced along the water outlet direction, and a convex ring 61 is further arranged at the outlet of the seal ring 6.

[0049] One small steel ball with a diameter of 6.35 mm and one large steel ball with a diameter of 7.93 mm are adopted, and a segment of the convex ring 61 is of a triangular hook-shaped structure, so that the small steel ball can abut against the convex ring 61 of the seal ring 6. A distance is reserved between the convex ring 61 and a bottom of the seal ring 6, and a dislocation design is adopted, so that an empty area is formed when the convex ring 61 is close to the bottom of the seal ring 6. Therefore, when a pet licks the small steel ball, a clearance is easier to be formed between the seal ring 6 and the small steel ball, and it is convenient for the pet to drink water. The deformation amount of the convex ring 61 is obviously larger than that of the seal ring 6, and the convex ring 61 protrudes out of an inner wall of the seal ring 6 and can be deformed by extrusion of the small steel ball.

[0050] In addition, the seal ring 6 can be designed so that a thickness of the seal ring 6 is increased along the water outlet direction, and the sealing performance of the steel ball 7 and the seal ring 6 is improved by adopting the structure of the seal ring 6. A position closer to the outlet is more elastic, so that the sealing performance is high, a contact area of the steel ball 7 is also enlarged, when the steel ball 7 rolls, clearances are easily generated, water flows out, and it is convenient for the pets to drink water.

EXAMPLE 2

[0051] As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the end of the steel pipe 1 is provided with a groove-inlaying part 2, the end of the copper pipe 3 is provided with a ring-inlaying part 4, and the groove-inlaying part 2 and the ring-inlaying part 4 are spliced by glue. Alternatively, the groove-inlaying part 2 and the ring-inlaying part 4 may be threaded, and the internal and external threads are not shown in FIG. 4.

[0052] With regard to the seal ring mounting portion 5 in FIG. 4, which has a V-shaped groove structure, an outer wall 9 of the seal ring 6 is adhered to the mounting portion thereof, and the seal ring mounting portion 5 is close to half a height of the steel ball 7 itself.

[0053] The seal ring 6 is provided with an inner wall 8 and the outer wall 9, the inner wall 8 of the seal ring 6 is adhered to the steel ball 7, the outer wall 9 of the seal ring 6 is adhered to the seal ring mounting part 5, the inner wall 8 of the seal ring 6 comprises a first arc segment 81 and a second arc segment 82, the first arc segment 81 is adhered to the steel ball 7, a gradient of the second arc segment 82 is smaller than that of the first arc segment 81, and the outer wall 9 of the seal ring 6 is V-shaped. As shown in the left half of FIG. 4, in order to further illustrate its principle, it should be explained that for the same height, the bisector of FIG. 4 divides the circumference into several arcs, from which it can be concluded that an arc length on the circumference of segment a is smaller than that of segment b, and the arc length gradually increases as the distance from the center of the circle increases. The steel ball 7 thus has multiple sealing effects during use.

EXAMPLE 3

[0054] Based on Example 1, nano-silver particles may be added to the seal ring 6, which exerts disinfection and sterilization effects on metal silver ions, as well as sterilization effect on the water body in the process of contacting the seal ring 6 with water, and the safety and health brought by drinking water for pets are improved.

EXAMPLE 4

[0055] On the basis of the Example 1, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, a water inlet end of the steel pipe 1 is connected with a bottle cap 10, the bottle cap 10 comprises a connecting ring 101 with threads, and the connecting ring 101 is used for being matched with a bottle opening of a drinking bottle. An inner ring 102 is arranged in the connecting ring 101, vertical reinforcing ribs 103 are arranged on an inner wall of the inner ring 102, the inner ring 102 is used for being inserted into the bottle opening of the drinking bottle, an insertion hole 104 is arranged at a bottom of the inner ring 102, the insertion hole 104 is used for being inserted with the steel pipe 1, and a stopper 105 is arranged at an inlet of the insertion hole 104. The bottle cap 10 and a water outlet pipe body are designed to be connected with each other, so that the water outlet of the pet drinking bowl cannot leak at the position of the bottle mouth. In addition, when a caliber of the steel pipe 1 is not necked, the steel pipe can be blocked by the stopper 105, and the steel ball 7 is prevented from falling out. Wrapping means that the end of the steel pipe 1 is subjected to necking treatment, and the steel ball 7 is not easy to fall out when a caliber of a port is reduced.

[0056] The method of processing the product comprises the following steps.

[0057] S1, cutting off a steel pipe 1, machining an end face of each segment of the steel pipe 1 by using a lathe to keep smoothness, machining one end of the steel pipe 1 by using the lathe to form a groove-inlaying part 2, cutting off a copper head 3, machining one end of the copper head 3 by using the lathe to form a ring-inlaying part 4, and machining the inner wall of the copper head 3 to form a seal ring mounting part 5, machining the seal ring mounting part 5, gradually reducing an inner diameter of the seal ring mounting part 5 along the water outlet direction, and chamfering the other end of the copper head 3. The outer wall 9 of the seal ring 6 is adhered to the mounting part thereof, and the seal ring mounting part 5 is close to half the height of the steel ball 7.

[0058] S2, coating glue on the groove-inlaying part 2 or the ring-inlaying part 4, splicing the groove-inlaying part 2 and the ring-inlaying part 4, pressing by a press machine, and cooling to form the water outlet pipe body.

[0059] S3, electroplating the water outlet pipe body.

[0060] S4, mounting a seal ring 6 on the inner wall of the copper head 3 by using a clamp, and throwing a steel ball 7 into the end of the steel pipe 1.

[0061] S5, carrying out a durability test, placing the product at a place for testing after being filled with water, subjecting it to temperature difference change and time elapse, and selecting a water-tight product as a qualified product which is the water outlet pipe body.

[0062] This step may or may not be added in step S1. The groove-inlaying part 2 is manufactured with internal threads, the ring-inlaying part 4 is manufactured with external threads, and the groove-inlaying part 2 is in threaded connection with the ring-inlaying part 4.

[0063] This step may or may not be added in step S4. After step S4, the steel pipe 1 is bent or the caliber of the steel pipe 1 is necked. Necking caliber of the steel pipe is mainly used for keeping the steel ball 7 in the steel pipe 1 and preventing the steel ball 7 from falling out. Necking caliber means necking the caliber of the steel pipe 1.

[0064] Usage

[0065] According to the technical scheme, a plurality of steel balls 7 are arranged in the steel pipe 1, when the pet cage support and the like are vibrated, due to the fact that a water outlet pipe extends obliquely downwards, the plurality of steel balls 7 in the water outlet pipe vibrate slightly due to gravity. The steel balls 7 at the pipe opening are not easily separated from the seal ring 6 at the pipe opening of the water outlet pipe, and water in the drinking bottle cannot be leaked mistakenly. There are three steel balls 7, the diameter of the steel balls 7 contacted with the stoppers 105 is large, and the diameter of the steel balls 7 contacted with the water outlet pipe body is small. The clearance between the large steel ball 7 and the inner wall of the water outlet pipe body is small, when the drinking bowl vibrates, the large steel ball 7 is pressed against the small steel ball 7 below by gravity, mistaken leakage is not easy to occur, the small steel ball 7 is arranged at the pipe opening of the water outlet pipe, the tongue pushes the three steel balls 7 to move upwards along the water outlet pipe when the pet is licking, and liquid flows to the lower end of the water outlet pipe through the small clearance between the large steel ball 7 and the inner wall of the water outlet pipe body. After the tongue is separated from the steel ball 7, the steel ball 7 rapidly moves downwards due to gravity, so that the large steel ball 7 has a strong pushing effect on water, the liquid can rapidly flow out of the water outlet pipe, the large steel ball 7 has a piston pushing effect on the water when the water outlet pipe is moving, the water flow is increased, and the pet can drink water conveniently.

[0066] It can be seen from FIG. 4 that a steel pipe 1 is adopted to ensure that the wall thickness of the water outlet pipe body is thin, materials are saved, and the smoothness of an inner wall of the steel pipe 1 is high. In addition, in order to ensure the structural strength of the end, a copper pipe 3 is adopted for inlaying, and a groove-inlaying part 2 and a ring-inlaying part 4 are formed by processing two parts through an inlaying technology of a copper head 3. At the moment, the water outlet pipe body is formed by splicing with glue and interference fit, then the water outlet pipe body is electroplated to improve the corrosion resistance and the surface smoothness of the water outlet pipe body, and then the seal ring 6 is placed to be inlayed on the mounting part of the seal ring 6. The size and gravity of the steel ball 7 ensure that the steel ball 7 can press the seal ring 6 to seal when the water storage amount of the drinking bottle is small. The seal ring 6 is deformed by the gravity of the steel ball 7 so as to be more adhered to the surface of the steel ball 7 to play a sealing role. In addition, when the pet licks the steel ball 7 with its tongue, the steel ball 7 is rolled, so that clearances are formed between the surfaces of the seal ring 6 and the steel ball 7, and water leakage can be achieved. The cost for the material is obviously reduced, the structural strength is guaranteed by the inlayed copper head 3, and the copper head 3 is not easy to deform even the pet bites it. The sealing reliability is achieved by the arrangement position of the seal ring 6, the seal ring 6 is arranged on the inner wall of the copper head 3, the seal ring 6 and the copper head 3 are partially exposed by the steel ball 7, the seal ring 6 is extruded by the steel ball 7 due to gravity, so that the contact area of the seal ring 6 is enlarged, and the sealing effect is improved by gravity. However, when the steel ball 7 rolls, gravity is reduced, the elasticity and the contact area of the seal ring 6 are smaller, so that the sealing effect is reduced, and drinking water is easier. The steel ball 7 can leak water in the rolling process, the seal ring 6 keeps stable and elastically recoverable, and the sealing can be ensured when the steel ball 7 is not moved.

[0067] This example is merely illustrative of the invention and is not intended to be limiting of the invention, as modifications of the examples may suggest themselves to persons skilled in the art having the benefit of this disclosure without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
