It's different. The difference is that the intelligent water dispenser for pets has an independent water tank, which can be taken down for pets to drink flowing water. There is no difference in other aspects.
There is no substantial difference between the two drinking fountains. Almost all drinking fountains on the market now have induction electricity, but as long as they are within a safe range, there is no problem.
In fact, induction electricity is a very common thing for pet water dispensers. At present, there are no 100% water dispensers without induction electricity on the market, including Xiaopei's.
However, I tested it with a voltmeter, and it is basically around 12v, which won't do much harm to cats.
Although there is no harm to cats, it may still cause some discomfort and stress reactions in cats, making them dislike drinking water from drinking fountains.
Therefore, we still try to choose some regular brands of water dispensers, which will be more secure in quality and quality control.
At the same time, it is suggested that you replace the three-hole power cord of a grounding wire to solve the leakage risk from the source.
Development history:
Most pets like to drink running water! Especially for cats at home, when it comes to this topic, they will say that my cats just love to drink water from buckets, washstands, fish tanks and bathtubs. Some people yearn for the water in the toilet and just don't drink the water in the bowl, which makes their owners afraid to enjoy the fun of sucking cats when they go home.
In fact, it is normal for pets to have this kind of situation, because they subconsciously think that flowing water will be fresher and the sense of mobility will attract their attention. In addition, their curiosity is particularly serious, and it is normal to drink flowing water.
Now is the hottest time in summer, and some parents will try their best to make their "babies" drink more water, such as putting more bowls in different positions, ensuring to change water 1-2 times a day, and even pouring water on cat food and canned cats. In fact, the effect of doing so is minimal. Pouring water into cat food or canned cats is more likely to breed bacteria and is not good for your health.
Principle of automatic pet water dispenser
The principle of automatic pet water dispenser is: reverse osmosis principle. When the water level reaches a certain level, the water stops flowing, and when it is lower than the water level, it is replenished to the specified water level.
Analysis of reverse osmosis principle;
A membrane that is selective for permeating substances is called a semipermeable membrane, and a membrane that can only permeate solvents but not solutes is usually called an ideal semipermeable membrane. When equal volumes of dilute solution (such as fresh water) and concentrated solution (such as brine) are placed on both sides of the semi-permeable membrane, the solvent in the dilute solution will naturally pass through the semi-permeable membrane and spontaneously flow to the side of the concentrated solution, which is called osmosis. When the osmosis reaches equilibrium, the liquid level on the concentrated solution side will be higher than that on the dilute solution side by a certain height, that is, the pressure difference will be formed, which is the osmotic pressure. Osmotic pressure depends on the inherent properties of solution, that is, it is related to the kind, concentration and temperature of concentrated solution, and has nothing to do with the properties of semi-permeable membrane. If a pressure greater than osmotic pressure is applied to one side of the concentrated solution, the flow direction of the solvent will be opposite to the original osmotic direction, and it will start to flow from the concentrated solution to the dilute solution side. This process is called reverse osmosis. Reverse osmosis is a reverse migration movement of osmosis, which is a separation method to separate solute and solvent in solution by means of selective interception of semi-permeable membrane under pressure. It has been widely used in the purification and concentration of various liquids, among which the most common application example is the removal of inorganic ions, bacteria, viruses, organic substances and colloids from raw water by reverse osmosis technology to obtain high-quality purified water.
What is the principle of automatic pet water dispenser?
An automatic water dispenser for pets comprises a water tank 9, a mixed discharge tank 1, a water tank 2, a solenoid valve No.3 1, a flowmeter No.4 1, a liquid level sensor1,a control unit, n liquid storage barrels 5, n solenoid valves No.2 6 and n flowmeters No.2; N is a positive integer; The water tank 2 is fixed above the mixing discharging box I, and the bottom of the water tank 2 is provided with a water outlet; The top of the mixing discharging tank I is provided with a water inlet; The water outlet of the water tank 2 is communicated with the water inlet of the mixed discharging box I; The water outlet of the water tank 2 is provided with a No.1 electromagnetic valve 3 and a No.1 flowmeter 4; N liquid storage barrels 5 are all located above the horizontal plane where the bottom surface of the mixing discharge tank I is located, and the bottoms of # liquid storage barrels 5 are all provided with liquid outlets; N liquid inlets are arranged on the side wall of the mixing blanking tank I, and the liquid outlet of the liquid storage barrel 5 is respectively communicated with the N liquid inlets of the mixing blanking tank I; The liquid outlet of each liquid storage barrel 5 is provided with a No.2 electromagnetic valve 6 and a No.2 flowmeter 7; The bottom of the mixing discharging tank I is provided with a liquid outlet; The water tank 9 is located below the liquid outlet; The liquid level sensor 1 1 is located in the water tank 9; The control unit includes a control circuit 12 and a timer13; The 1No. flow signal input end of the control circuit 12 is connected with the flow signal output end of the 1No. flowmeter 4; The timer signal output end of the timer 13 is connected with the timer signal input end of the control circuit 12; The control signal output end of the 1No. solenoid valve of the control circuit 12 is connected with the control signal input end of the control coil 6 1 of the1solenoid valve; The n solenoid valve control signal outputs of the control circuit 12 are connected with the control signal inputs of the control coils 62 of the n No.2 solenoid valves. When in use, firstly, the water inlet time is set by the timer, and the flow rate of primary water outlet or liquid outlet is set; Adding nutrient solution or liquid medicine into n liquid storage barrels. In the feeding process, after reaching the preset timing time, the control circuit sends control signals to the control coil of 1 solenoid valve and one or more control coils of No.2 solenoid valve to control the opening of 1 solenoid valve and one or more No.2 solenoid valves; At the same time, calculate the flow rate of liquid. When the flow reaches the preset value, the control circuit controls the solenoid valve 1 to close, and one or more solenoid valves No.2 to close, thus completing one-time word feeding.
Development trend of pet products: in the era of intelligent pet raising, intelligence and trend have become the mainstream.
With the development of 5G and smart devices in China, pet breeding has entered the era of smart pet breeding. The development of smart pet products has gradually highlighted its advantages in the pet market.
It is understood that the convenience of pet smart products in daily life has helped some shovel officials and solved some pet feeding problems. Many pet parents who have used smart products also expressed their satisfaction with the smart pet products, hoping to have better smart pet products in the future.
According to "20021China White Paper on Pet Consumption Trends", the scale of pet economy in China is nearly 300 billion yuan, and it is expected to reach 445.6 billion yuan by 2023.
Among these pet owners, the post-90s generation is the most important pet group in China, accounting for 33% of the total number of pets in China. Secondly, the post-80s generation accounts for 27% of pets in China.
The younger generation of post-90s and post-90s pet owners can no longer "stay" in the traditional pet rearing methods. They have a busy life and little time, so they need to rely on smart products to take care of their pets.
Therefore, a series of emerging technology pet products, such as intelligent pet companion robot, intelligent cat litter basin, intelligent pet nest and intelligent pet water dispenser, are moved home, so that pets can live at home with a sense of technology.
The data shows that Tmall kicked off this year, and pet smart devices have become one of the most popular choices for young shovel officials, with a year-on-year increase of nearly 1.50%. Pet intelligent companion robot, automatic feeder and intelligent cat litter basin were selected as the top three streams in the field of cute pet intelligence.
It is reported that this year's activities in 520 yuan can receive large coupons, and more commodities will be reduced in price, and a large number of commodities will hit new lows. To some extent, this also makes the post-95 s and post-00 s more aimed at "big pets" and add a wave of new equipment for their babies in the activities.
Xiao Wei, a Chengdu girl, has two dogs. In order to take the dogs camping, Xiao Wei and her boyfriend bought a full set of camping equipment for the dogs on the platform, and also bought a folding pet cart, which they usually take out for a ride.
Xiao Wei said that he had planted a pet cart of nearly 1,000 yuan in the pet community before, and it was very cost-effective to use the full discount coupons, and he was willing to spend money on his dog.
During the day's activities, products such as cat and dog summer clothes, pet helmets and pet trend carts all increased to varying degrees, and various trends such as wigs, hair accessories, raincoats, helmets and frisbee toys became more and more popular.
After 95, the boy Xiao Zhang ordered a pet skateboard for the dog. In less than a week, the dog learned to play. Now he takes his dog and skateboard with him when he goes out for a walk every day, and he has a good time himself.
In Xiao Zhang's view, pets are not only pets, but also friends and family, so he is willing to buy some fashionable toys for them to play with.
From the consumption data of pet Tmall, it can be seen that pet food and cleaning products have gradually developed in the direction of intelligence and trend, and the relationship between pets and shovel officials will become closer and closer.
"Qibu Technology" builds an intelligent pet breeding platform and uses data to lead the future of pets.
Qibu was born from the research and development of solutions. Based on self-developed pet hardware products, basic data and advanced data of pets can be obtained in seven steps. At the same time, it uses its data processing ability to provide corresponding software services to help pet owners lower the threshold of pet raising and provide correct, convenient and sustainable all-round pet raising schemes. Qibu started from overseas through crowdfunding. At present, 5-6 million projects have been completed, and many intelligent products such as self-cleaning pet water dispenser and pet feeding machine have been independently developed.
According to the White Paper on Pet Industry in China in 20021year (consumption report), there were 68.44 million owners of urban pets (dogs and cats) in China in 20021year, an increase of 8.7% compared with 2020, and the consumption market of urban pets (dogs and cats) reached 249 billion yuan, a substantial increase compared with 2020.
Even with the rapid growth of the market, the pet market still has immeasurable room for development. According to estimates, the popularity of pets in China is about 20%. China's neighboring country, Japan, has a pet penetration rate of about 38%, almost twice that of China. Compared with the Japanese pet market, China still has a long way to go.
Helping owners keep pets intelligently is the core competitiveness of Seven Steps in the field of pets. In the specific solution, the seven-step strategy is three-step: firstly, the traditional pet products are intelligently transformed, and on this basis, the intelligent pet toys are upgraded. Take the pet water dispenser as an example. Although the traditional pet water dispenser has a filter screen, food residues are easily left on it, and pets have a sharper sense of smell than humans, so this humid environment is very unfriendly to pets.
Based on the inspiration of human drinking fountains, Qibu reformed and upgraded the pet drinking fountains, and originally designed two boxes. The water dispenser is provided with a clean water tank and a waste water tank, which are stored separately, and the filter cotton is discarded, so that the waste water does not participate in the water circulation, and the water quality is completely guaranteed from the source. In addition, the water pump of the water dispenser is not an ordinary submersible pump, which solves the problem of separation of water and electricity, ensures that there is no static electricity in the water, and allows pets to drink safely.
The seven-step longer-term layout lies in the data of pet behavior habits. At present, some pet intelligent hardware can obtain some basic data, such as the number and amount of pet excretion. However, more advanced data is difficult to capture. For example, the current pet drinking water can only be obtained from a single source, and the water in food cannot be obtained; Secondly, at present, we can only count the quantity and frequency of food, but we can't get the real diet hobbies of pets from this simple data center.
Aiming at these pain points, Qibu independently developed a mixed feeding machine, and its first multi-grain storage barrel structure design realized the mixed feeding of multi-flavor grains according to pet owners and statistical suggestions, thus ensuring the nutritional balance of pets. From the overall product idea, the solution provided by the seven steps is to obtain pet data through hardware, digitize pet drinking, feeding, sports and other behaviors, including both basic data and advanced data, and manage the data as a whole, and then provide intelligent services through software to truly realize intelligent pet raising.
In addition to the overseas crowdfunding model is more conducive to development, the domestic competitive environment is also an important reason. Qibu said that if we started from home, it would be easier to fall into a price war, and as a start-up, the product cost was inevitable, so the domestic environment was not conducive to Qibu at that time.
Talking about competitive advantage, Seven told 36Kr that Qibu's advantage lies in the creativity of products, followed by the advantages of supply chain and cross-industry technology application, which is conducive to the formation of competitive barriers, and finally the advantages of brands. Through crowdfunding, mainstream social media, CheerbleApp, official website Blog, etc. It constantly attracts new users and establishes close ties with users to keep users sticky and form brand loyalty.
It is understood that there are currently more than 30 people in the team, more than half of whom are R&D personnel. The founding team includes CEOSeven, CPOBruce and COOHannah. Seven and Bruce used to work in R&D in the same chip company, and had 15+ product landing experience, while Hannah is an accountant with more than 9 years working experience in Ernst & Young. In the next development plan, the company expects to raise 20 million yuan for product research and development, marketing and brand promotion. The seven-step vision is to make every pet family have professional technology products.
