[0040] The control box 5 is also provided with a camera for collecting images of organisms in the aquarium 1 and a smart socket 15 controlled by the control module.

[0041] The control box 5 is connected to a connecting rod 6, and an electric heating wire 7 is arranged in the part of the connecting rod 6 located in the water. The connecting rod 6 is connected to a sensor box 8 located inside the aquarium 1 near the lower end, and a limiting wheel 9 is arranged on the sensor box 8. A limiting track 10 connected to the limiting wheel 9 is arranged on the aquarium 1.

[0042] The sensor box 8 includes a sensing Bluetooth module wirelessly connected to the Bluetooth gateway, and the sensing Bluetooth module is connected to a temperature sensor, a water level sensor, a PH sensor, and a dissolved oxygen sensor located on the sensor box 8.

The water supply pipe 1101 and the drainage pipe 1102 are also provided with a water supply solenoid valve 1103 and a drainage solenoid valve 1104. The titration part 12 includes a titration pump 1201. The water supply solenoid valve 1103, the drainage solenoid valve 1104 and the titration pump 1201 are respectively connected to a water changing Bluetooth module and a titration Bluetooth module.

[0044] The working principle of the control box 5 is as follows: through the track groove 2 and the limit track 10, the control box 5 and the sensor box 8 are connected together through the connecting rod 6, so that the control box 5 and the sensor box 8 can move along the two tracks, so that the sensors in the sensor box 8 can measure the parameters of various parts of the aquarium 1, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the measurement; through the setting of each sensor in the sensor box 8, the corresponding heating, water changing and nutrient solution adding work can be completed through the setting of the electric heating wire 7, the water changing part and the titration part 12, and in addition, the oxygen generator and other equipment can be inserted through the smart socket 15 to achieve indirect control of the dissolved oxygen content; the networking relies on the Bluetooth gateway to complete, which reduces the use of wiring harnesses and can achieve fast and low-cost networking.

[0045] In addition, the present embodiment also makes the following improvements:

[0046] A cleaning portion 13 for cleaning the aquarium 1 is provided on one side of the connecting rod 6 close to the aquarium 1. The cleaning portion 13 can scrape the inner wall surface of the aquarium 1 during the movement of the control box 5 and the sensor box 8, thereby reducing the residual foreign matter and facilitating the cleaning of the aquarium 1.

Since the accommodating groove 1408 is filled with fish food when it is rotated into the cabin 1402, the rotating disc 1406 can rotate the fish food out during the rotation process, thereby achieving the feeding effect.

[0049] There is a smooth transition from the cabin 1402 to the food outlet trough 1407. The smooth transition can help the fish food to enter the rotating groove of the rotating disc 1406 faster, thereby facilitating feeding.
