Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquarium technology, and more specifically, to a siphon water circuit structure and an aquarium. Background Technology
[0002] In aquariums, circulating water systems, and other similar equipment, fluid circulation and drainage are crucial for ensuring stable system operation. Most existing aquariums use overflow-type stream tanks, which create a water level difference through overflow structures (such as side overflow zones or bottom overflow zones). Water in the main tank overflows naturally due to gravity, enters the drainage channel / filtration system, and is then pumped back to the main tank by a water pump or natural drop, forming a cycle of "main tank overflow → drainage / filtration → return to main tank," allowing the water to flow continuously and simulating the flowing water of a natural stream. However, this type of aquarium has a small drainage flow rate, making it difficult to increase the oxygen content in the water. Therefore, we propose a siphon waterway structure and aquarium design.

[0018] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model provides a siphon water system structure and an aquarium, including: a first water tank 1, a second water tank 2, a third water tank 3, and a lower oil film assembly 4 for intercepting oil film in the water; the first water tank 1, the second water tank 2, and the third water tank 3 are sequentially arranged on one side of the aquarium body of the fish tank 10; the lower oil film assembly 4 is located at the upper end of the first water tank 1; the water inlet of the first water tank 1 is connected to the aquarium body of the fish tank 10 through the lower oil film assembly 4; symmetrically arranged on the first water tank 1... The aquarium has two siphon drain holes 5 that are respectively connected to the fish tank 10 of the aquarium; the water outlet of the first water tank 1 and the water outlet of the second water tank 2 are connected to the filter mechanism 8 of the aquarium; the upper end of the third water tank 3 is provided with a water outlet 6; the water inlet of the third water tank 3 is connected to the water pump mechanism 9 of the aquarium; the second water tank 2 has a siphon drain hole 7 that is connected to the fish tank 10 of the aquarium; the horizontal height of the two siphon drain holes 5 is lower than the horizontal height of the oil film assembly 4 and the water outlet 6.
[0020] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-3 As shown, the side wall of the aquarium 10 is a side wall with an internal cavity. The first water tank 1, the second water tank 2, and the third water tank 3 are arranged side by side in the inner cavity of the side wall of the aquarium 10. The outlets of the first water tank 1 and the second water tank 2 are respectively connected to the aquarium's filter mechanism 8 to transport the aquarium water to the filter mechanism 8 for filtration. The third water tank 3 is connected to the aquarium's filter mechanism 8 through the water pump mechanism 9 inside the aquarium to pump the filtered water back into the aquarium 10, completing the water circulation. Its working principle is as follows: In the initial state, water is injected into the siphon water passage structure to expel the air, and the siphon is activated by the height difference between the tank and the drain end. At this time, the water passes through the lower oil film When component 4 is activated, the oil film is intercepted. Simultaneously, clean water is drawn into the second tank 2 through the siphon drain hole 5, and then discharged through the outlet 6 of the second tank 2 into the filter mechanism 8 in the aquarium. After the water is filtered by the filter mechanism 8, it is pumped into the third tank 3 by the aquarium pump mechanism 9, and finally delivered to the aquarium 10 through the outlet of the third tank 3, completing the water circulation. During normal operation, the siphon continues, and the water circulates stably. When an abnormal water level occurs (such as exceeding the height of the siphon hole 7), air enters the pipe through the siphon hole 7, disrupting the negative pressure and terminating the siphon to prevent water overflow. To restore the siphon, the air is purged again, and the system can be restarted using the height difference.
[0021] Furthermore, the second water tank 2 includes: two vertically arranged guide channels 21 and a water outlet channel 22; the two guide channels 21 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the water outlet channel 22, and their upper ends are respectively connected to the water outlet channel 22 to form a rectangular frame-type guide channel with an inverted "mountain" shaped structure; the two siphon drain holes 5 are respectively and correspondingly arranged at the lower ends of the two guide channels 21; the water outlet end of the water outlet channel 22 is connected to the filter mechanism 8 of the aquarium.
[0022] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-2 As shown, the two guide channels 21 and the outlet channel 22 are all vertically arranged, with the outlet channel 22 located between the two guide channels 21. The siphon breaking hole 7 is located at the upper end of the guide channel 21 near the first water tank 1, and its horizontal height is flush with the lower oil film assembly 4 and the outlet 6. When the second water tank 2 performs siphoning, its water flow direction is as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 As shown, the water in the aquarium 10 enters through two siphon drain holes 5 and flows into two guide channels 21. The water then converges through the two guide channels 21 and flows into the outlet channel 22, which is connected to the filter mechanism 8 of the aquarium. Finally, the water is transported to the filter mechanism 8 of the aquarium for filtration. The structure is stable and easy to install.
[0023] Furthermore, the lower oil film assembly 4 includes: a plurality of oil passage grooves 41; the plurality of oil passage grooves 41 are arranged vertically side by side at the upper end of the first water tank 1; specifically, the lower oil film assembly 4 is mainly composed of a plurality of oil passage grooves 41. During normal use, the water in the aquarium 10 of the aquarium overflows the oil passage grooves 41, thereby preventing the oil film from entering the siphon water passage structure during water circulation.
[0024] Furthermore, the bottom of the water outlet 6 is level with the bottom of the oil trough 41.
[0025] This utility model also provides an aquarium, including the siphon water channel structure described above.
[0026] Furthermore, it also includes: a fish tank 10, a drip box 81, a bottom filter tank 82, a water-holding tank 83, and a water pump mechanism 9; the siphon water circuit structure is installed on the side wall of the fish tank 10; the water outlet of the first water tank 1 and the water outlet of the second water tank 2 are connected to the drip box 81 through the water pump mechanism 9; the drip box 81, the bottom filter tank 82 and the water-holding tank 83 are connected in sequence; the water-holding tank 83 is connected to the water inlet of the third water tank 3 through the water pump mechanism 9.
[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 3As shown, the drip box 81, bottom filter tank 82, and water conditioning tank 83 constitute the filtration mechanism 8 of the aquarium, so as to receive the water supplied by the first water tank 1 and the second water tank 2, and perform drip and filtration operations on it, so as to increase the oxygen content of the water while ensuring the cleanliness of the water. Finally, the water in the filtration mechanism 8 is pumped to the fish tank 10 of the aquarium by the water pump mechanism 9 to complete the water circulation.
[0028] This utility model discloses a siphon water system structure and aquarium, which is easy to install. The siphon water system structure has a larger water flow rate and a larger water circulation volume compared to conventional overflow-type stream tanks. When used in conjunction with a drip box in the aquarium, it can effectively increase the oxygen content in the water.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
