Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fish tanks, in particular to a fish tank. Background Art

[0002] As users' requirements for indoor ambiance and scenes increase, home fish tanks are becoming more and more popular among consumers. During use, in order to observe the survival of aquatic plants and animals in the fish tank, or to create an atmospheric lighting effect, a light source can be installed in the top cover of the fish tank to illuminate the water space within the fish tank, making it easier for users to observe and create an atmosphere.

[0003] However, when the user observes the front of the fish tank closely, if the light source on the top cover is emitting light, it is easy to shine directly into the user's eyes, causing discomfort. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a fish tank, which can prevent the user's eyes from being directly hit by the light in the fish tank when observing the fish tank from the front.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A fish tank comprises a tank body, a top cover and a light-emitting assembly, wherein the top cover is arranged on the tank body, the light-emitting assembly comprises a light-transmitting cover and a light source, the light source is arranged in the light-transmitting cover, the light-transmitting cover is fixed to the top cover, and the light-transmitting portion on the light-transmitting cover is inclined toward the back and / or bottom of the tank body in a direction away from the front of the tank body.

[0007] In the fish tank provided herein, by tilting the light-emitting assembly on the top cover toward the back and / or bottom of the tank, light is directed more toward the back and bottom of the tank, rather than radiating excessively through the front. This reduces the risk of direct light exposure to the eyes when a user closely observes the fish tank from the front, thereby providing eye protection. Furthermore, light from the light-emitting assembly is reflected by the surrounding environment within the tank before being emitted from the front, further softening the ambient lighting effect of the fish tank when viewed from the outside.

[0008] In one embodiment, the light-transmitting cover defines a receiving groove, the bottom of which forms the light-transmitting portion. The light source comprises a connected lamp board and lamp beads, the lamp board being fixed within the receiving groove, and the lamp beads being located on a side of the lamp board near the bottom of the receiving groove. The lamp board and lamp beads are disposed within the receiving groove of the light-transmitting cover, allowing the lamp board, lamp beads, and light-transmitting cover to be assembled integrally into the top cover, simplifying the assembly process of the light-emitting component.

[0009] In one embodiment, a buckle is provided on one side wall of the receiving groove, and the light board is buckled into the buckle to be fixed in the receiving groove, so that the light board can be installed in the light-transmitting cover more simply and firmly.

[0010] In one embodiment, the light board is parallel to the bottom of the receiving groove, and the bottom of the receiving groove is inclined relative to the front of the cylinder body. The light emitting direction of the lamp beads is inclined relative to the front of the cylinder body, so that the light can avoid the front of the cylinder body more.

[0011] In one embodiment, the light shield includes parallel, opposing side walls and a bottom wall connected to the bottom of the side walls. The side walls and bottom wall of the light shield together form the receiving groove, and the bottom wall is inclined relative to the side walls, constituting the light-transmitting portion. The bottom of the light shield is inclined relative to the front of the aquarium, making it more difficult for a user to observe the light emitted by the light shield from the front of the aquarium, thereby concealing the light-transmitting portion of the light shield and preventing the light from being directly observed by the user due to the light source illuminating the higher part of the light shield.

[0012] In one embodiment, a light shielding portion is provided at the bottom of the top cover, the light shielding portion being located between the light-transmitting cover and the front surface of the fish tank, and the light-transmitting cover abutting against the light shielding portion. The light shielding portion helps prevent light projected by the light-transmitting cover from directly projecting onto the front surface of the fish tank.

[0013] In one embodiment, a mounting opening is formed at the bottom of the top cover, the light-transmitting cover is inserted into the mounting opening, and the light-transmitting portion of the light-transmitting cover is exposed at the bottom of the top cover through the mounting opening.

[0014] In one embodiment, the inner wall of the mounting opening forms a first stepped surface along the circumference, and the outer wall of the light shield forms a second stepped surface along the circumference, the second stepped surface overlapping the first stepped surface. The cooperation between the stepped surfaces allows the light shield to be retained by the mounting opening, preventing it from falling through the mounting opening into the cylinder, thereby improving the installation stability of the light shield.

[0015] In one embodiment, the top cover comprises an upper shell and a lower shell connected to each other. The upper shell and the lower shell cover each other to form a receiving cavity. The light-transmitting cover is disposed in the receiving cavity and fixed to the upper shell. The mounting opening is formed in the lower shell. The light-emitting assembly can be first fixed to the upper shell and then fixed to the upper and lower shells. This structure facilitates the installation of the light-emitting assembly on the top cover.

[0016] In one embodiment, the light-transmitting cover is provided at the edge of the top cover near the front of the tank body, and the tank body is provided with a back plate near the back; an observation window is provided in the top cover, and a removable cover is provided in the top cover, the observation window is covered by the cover, and the light-transmitting cover is provided between the observation window and the front of the tank body. The light-transmitting cover is positioned close to the front of the fish tank, and because its light-transmitting portion faces the back and / or bottom of the fish tank, the light emitted from the light-transmitting cover can more comprehensively illuminate the space in the tank body, thereby improving the illumination effect. This design ensures that even if the user opens the cover to observe the situation inside the fish tank from the top down through the observation window, the light-emitting component will not be brought up, and the light from the light-emitting component will not be directly emitted from the observation window to the human eye.

[0029] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention. It should be emphasized that the following description is merely illustrative and is not intended to limit the scope and application of the present invention.

[0030] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or indirectly on the other element. When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element. In addition, connection can be used for both fixing and circuit / signal communication.

[0031] It should be understood that the terms "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the embodiments of the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0032] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly specify the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0033] As users' requirements for indoor atmosphere scenes increase, home fish tanks are also favored by more and more consumers. During use, in order to observe the living conditions of aquatic plants and animals in the fish tank, or to show the atmosphere lighting effect, a light source can be set in the top cover of the fish tank to illuminate the water space in the fish tank, which is convenient for users to observe and render the atmosphere. However, when the user observes the inside of the fish tank from the front, if the light source on the top cover is emitting light, it is easy to shine directly into the user's eyes, causing discomfort; and if the internal light source can be directly observed from the outside of the fish tank, the atmosphere light emitted by the light source is too strong, resulting in poor visual perception. For this reason, the embodiment of the present application proposes a fish tank that can prevent the user from being directly hit by the light in the fish tank when observing the fish tank from the front, and can make the atmosphere lighting effect of the fish tank observed by the user softer.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fish tank 10 in the embodiment of the present application includes a tank body 110, a top cover 120, and a light-emitting assembly 130. The top cover 120 is disposed on the tank body 110. The light-emitting assembly 130 includes a light-transmitting cover 131 and a light source. The light source is disposed within the light-transmitting cover 131. The light-transmitting cover 131 is fixed to the top cover 120, and a light-transmitting portion 1311 on the light-transmitting cover 131 is tilted toward the back 112 and / or bottom 113 of the tank body 110 in a direction away from the front 111 of the tank body 110. By tilting the light-emitting assembly 130 on the top cover 120 of the fish tank 10 toward the back 112 and / or bottom 113 of the tank body 110, more light is irradiated toward the back 112 and bottom 113 of the tank body 110, rather than being irradiated too much through the front 111 of the tank body 110. As a result, when a user observes the fish tank 10 closely from the front 111 of the fish tank 10, the user's eyes are less likely to be directly illuminated by light, thereby achieving an eye protection effect. At the same time, light from the light-emitting assembly 130 is reflected by the ambient environment within the aquarium 110 before being emitted from the front surface 111, further contributing to a softer lighting effect when viewed from the outside of the aquarium 10. It should be noted that the projection of any area on the light-transmitting portion 1311 along its normal direction will be projected onto at least one of the back surface 112 or bottom surface 113 of the aquarium 110, and will not be projected onto the glass of the front surface 111 of the aquarium 110.

[0035] In one embodiment, both the tank body 110 and the top cover 120 are rectangular parallelepiped structures. The four sides of the tank body 110 are made of translucent glass, and the top cover 120 is removably fastened to the top of the tank body 110. A light-transmitting cover 131 is located at the edge of the top cover 120 near the front 111 of the tank body 110. The tank body 110 is provided with a back panel 114 near the back 112. The top cover 120 is provided with an observation window 123, which is covered by a removable cover 124. The light-transmitting cover 131 is located between the observation window 123 and the front 111 of the tank body 110. This ensures that even if the user opens the cover 124 to observe the inside of the fish tank 10 from the top down through the observation window 123, the light-transmitting cover 131 will not be lifted up with it, and the light from the light-emitting assembly 130 will not be directly emitted from the observation window 123 into the user's eyes. The cover plate 124 can be removed from the top cover 120, or can be rotatably or slidably connected to the top cover 120. The observation window 123 can be exposed by removing, rotating, or sliding the cover plate 124. Of course, in some embodiments, the light-emitting assembly 130 can be fixed to the cover plate 124. Alternatively, when the observation window 123 is not provided in the center of the top cover 120, the light-emitting assembly 130 can be disposed in the center area of the bottom of the top cover 120.

[0036] The back panel 114 of the tank body 110 is generally opaque. A background pattern can be applied to its surface to serve as the background for the water within the aquarium 10. Therefore, the back panel 114 is located on the back 112 of the aquarium 110 so as not to obstruct the user's view. The front 111 of the aquarium 110 is the side closest to the user during normal use, allowing the user to observe the aquatic plants and animals within the aquarium 10 through the glass of the front 111.

[0037] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment, the light-transmitting cover 131 is provided with a receiving groove 1313, and the bottom 1315 of the receiving groove 1313 forms a light-transmitting portion 1311. The light source includes a lamp board 133 and lamp beads 134 connected to each other. The lamp board 133 is fixed in the receiving groove 1313, and the lamp beads 134 are arranged on the side of the lamp board 133 near the bottom 1315 of the receiving groove 1313. The lamp board 133 and the lamp beads 134 are arranged in the receiving groove 1313 of the light-transmitting cover 131, so that the lamp board 133, the lamp beads 134 and the light-transmitting cover 131 can be assembled into the top cover 120 as a whole, simplifying the assembly process of the light-emitting component 130. The light-transmitting cover 131 is an entire transparent or translucent structure. The lamp board 133 is a driving circuit board of the light source, which is used to control the operation of each lamp bead 134. The lamp board 133 is in the shape of a long strip, and the number of lamp beads 134 is multiple, and the multiple lamp beads 134 are spaced apart along the length direction of the lamp board 133, which is conducive to achieving uniform lighting. The lamp board 133 can be fixed in the accommodating groove 1313 by means of snap connection, fastener connection, etc. Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, a side wall 1314 of the receiving groove 1313 is provided with a buckle 1316 , and the lamp board 133 is buckled into the buckle 1316 to be fixed to the receiving groove 1313 , so that the lamp board 133 can be more simply and firmly installed in the light-transmitting cover 131 .

[0038] The lamp plate 133 is parallel to the bottom 1315 of the receiving groove 1313, and the bottom 1315 of the receiving groove 1313 is inclined relative to the front face 111 of the cylinder body 110. The lamp beads 134 are mounted on the lamp plate 133, and their luminous area is primarily concentrated in a direction perpendicular to the lamp plate 133 and within a certain angle around the lamp plate 133. Therefore, by tilting the lamp plate 133 relative to the front face 111 of the cylinder body 110, the light emitted by the lamp beads 134 is less likely to reach the front face 111 of the cylinder body 110. By aligning the bottom 1315 of the receiving groove 1313 with the lamp plate 133, the light emitted by the lamp beads 134 is less likely to be refracted at a large angle when passing through the bottom 1315 of the receiving groove 1313, and is therefore less likely to be refracted toward the front face 111 of the cylinder body 110.

[0039] Correspondingly, the light shield 131 includes parallel, opposing sidewalls and a bottom wall connected to the bottom of the sidewalls. The sidewalls and bottom wall of the light shield 131 together form a receiving groove 1313. The bottom wall is inclined relative to the sidewalls and the front surface 111 of the tank body 110, and the bottom wall forms a light-transmitting portion 1311. The bottom of the light shield 131 is inclined relative to the front surface 111 of the tank body 110, and the bottom of the light shield 131 faces the back surface 112 and / or bottom surface 113 of the tank body 110. This makes it more difficult for a user to observe the light emitted by the light shield 131 from the front surface 111 of the fish tank 10, thereby concealing the light-transmitting portion 1311 of the light shield 131 and preventing the light shield 131, which is higher than the light shield 131, from being directly observed by the user through the front surface 111 of the fish tank 10.

[0040] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 To further prevent light from the light-emitting assembly 130 from directly irradiating the front surface 111 of the fish tank 10, a light shielding portion 1221 is provided at the bottom of the top cover 120. The light shielding portion 1221 is located between the light-transmitting cover 131 and the front surface 111 of the fish tank 110, and the light-transmitting cover 131 abuts against the light shielding portion 1221. Even after light from the light source passes through the light-transmitting cover 131, it is blocked by the light shielding portion 1221 and is unlikely to directly irradiate the front surface 111 of the fish tank 110.

[0041] refer to Figure 4 In one embodiment, a mounting opening 1223 is provided at the bottom of the top cover 120, and the light-transmitting cover 131 is passed through the mounting opening 1223. The light-transmitting portion 1311 on the light-transmitting cover 131 is exposed to the bottom of the top cover 120 through the mounting opening 1223. Figure 3 The top cover 120 includes an upper shell and a lower shell connected to each other. The upper shell and the lower shell cover each other to form a receiving cavity. The light-transmitting cover 131 is arranged in the receiving cavity and fixed to the upper shell. The mounting opening 1223 is opened in the lower shell. Part of the bottom wall of the lower shell is an inclined structure relative to the front face 111 of the cylinder body 110. The mounting opening 1223 is opened on the inclined surface of the bottom wall of the lower shell, and the outer surface of the light-transmitting portion 1311 is flush with the inclined surface of the bottom wall of the lower shell. In addition, the light-shielding portion 1221 in the above embodiment can be located in the lower shell, for example, formed by the bottom wall of the lower shell. The upper shell and the lower shell are fixed by common means such as fasteners and buckles 1316.

[0042] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5To enhance the stability of the light-transmitting cover 131 and prevent it from falling from the mounting opening 1223, in one embodiment, a first stepped surface 1225 is formed along the circumference of the inner wall of the mounting opening 1223, and a second stepped surface 1317 is formed along the circumference of the outer wall of the light-transmitting cover 131. The second stepped surface 1317 overlaps the first stepped surface 1225. The cooperation between the stepped surfaces allows the light-transmitting cover 131 to be retained by the mounting opening 1223, preventing it from falling from the mounting opening 1223 into the cylinder body 110, thereby enhancing the installation stability of the light-transmitting cover 131.
