Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aquarium oxygen supply and filtration technology, and more particularly to an indoor aquarium oxygen supply and filtration device and system. Background Technology

[0002] An aquarium oxygenation and filtration system is a key component in maintaining the ecological balance of a closed aquarium environment. It integrates physical filtration, biological purification, and oxygen supply, ensuring that fish and aquatic plants can thrive in a clean and healthy environment. This system typically comprises several core parts: a physical filtration layer removes large particles of impurities such as fish waste and leftover food; a biological filtration layer cultivates nitrifying bacteria, which effectively convert harmful substances like ammonia and nitrite into relatively harmless nitrates; and the oxygenation section injects oxygen into the water through an air pump or a specially designed water flow device, increasing the dissolved oxygen level and ensuring the respiratory needs of aquatic life are met. The entire system works collaboratively, not only maintaining water clarity but also promoting water circulation, mimicking natural ecological cycles, and creating a miniature ecosystem close to nature for indoor aquariums.

[0024] First Embodiment

[0025] Please see Figures 1-6This invention provides an indoor aquarium oxygenation and filtration device, including a support assembly 101, a filter assembly 102, and an oxygenation assembly 103. The support assembly 101 includes a mounting shell 104 and a support frame 105. The support frame 105 is fixedly connected to the mounting shell 104 and is located on one side of the mounting shell 104. The filter assembly 102 includes an inlet pipe 106, a waste shell 107, an inlet pump 108, and a filter shell 109. The inlet pipe 106 is disposed on the support frame 105, the waste shell 107 is disposed on the side of the inlet pipe 106, the filter shell 109 is disposed on the top of the inlet pipe 106, and the inlet pump 108 is disposed on the filter shell 109. Inside the housing 109, the oxygen supply assembly 103 includes a mixing shell 110, an oxygen inlet pipe 111, an air pump 112, a finer pipe 113, a stirring blade 114, a stirring motor 115, and a liquid outlet pipe 116. The mixing shell 110 is disposed on one side of the filter housing 109, the oxygen inlet pipe 111 is disposed on one side of the mixing shell 110, the air pump 112 is connected to the oxygen inlet pipe 111, the finer pipe 113 is connected to the oxygen inlet pipe 111, the stirring blade 114 is rotatably disposed inside the mixing shell 110, the output end of the stirring motor 115 is fixedly connected to the stirring blade 114, and the liquid outlet pipe 116 is disposed at the discharge port of the mixing shell 110.

[0026] In this embodiment, the filter device can be fixed to the fish tank by the mounting shell 104, and the support frame 105 provides the installation conditions. The liquid inlet pipe 106 is provided with multiple liquid inlets, so that water can be drawn from different heights in the fish tank. Then, the upper water flow carries the upper impurities into the waste shell 107 for centralized storage. The liquid inlet pump 108 provides the power for circulation, so that the water can continue to enter the filter shell 109 for filtration. The filtered water enters the mixing shell 110 to mix with oxygen. Specifically, the air pump 112 is started to drive external air through the oxygen inlet pipe 111 into the fine tube 113. The fine tube 113 can separate the air into small bubbles, so that the stirring motor 115 drives the stirring blades 114 to rotate, so that the bubbles can be fully mixed with water to improve the oxygen dissolution rate. Then, the water enters the fish tank through the liquid outlet pipe 116, thereby making the oxygen in the water flow more fully mixed.

[0027] The inlet pipe 106 includes an inlet pipe body 117, a bottom inlet head 118, and a filter screen 119. The bottom inlet head 118 is located at the bottom of the inlet pipe body 117, and the filter screen 119 is located at the bottom of the bottom inlet head 118. The filter screen 119 on the bottom inlet head 118 can block larger impurities at the bottom, thus preventing clogging of the inlet pipe 106 and allowing the device to operate stably for extended periods.

[0028] The inlet pipe 106 also includes a scraper 120 and a driven blade 121. The driven blade 121 is rotatably disposed within the bottom inlet head 118. The scraper 120 is fixedly connected to the driven blade 121 and contacts the surface of the filter screen 119. The driven blade 121 can rotate under the impact of water flow, thereby driving the scraper 120 to rotate on the surface of the filter screen 119, so as to move the impurities accumulated on the surface and thus avoid clogging the filter screen 119.

[0029] The waste shell 107 includes a waste shell body 122, a movable plate 123, a baffle 124, a connecting block 125, and a cylinder 126. The connecting block 125 is slidably connected to the waste shell body 122 and is located on one side of the waste shell body 122. The movable plate 123 has multiple through holes and is mounted on the connecting block 125 and is located on one side of the connecting block 125. The baffle 124 is rotatably connected to the movable plate 123 and slidably connected to the waste shell body 122. The output end of the cylinder 126 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 125. In order to automatically process the impurities accumulated in the waste shell 107, this application provides the moving plate 123. After the impurities in the waste shell body 122 accumulate to a certain extent, the cylinder 126 is activated to drive the connecting block 125 to move upward. The connecting plate is engaged with the connecting block 125, so that it can slide and rotate relative to the connecting block 125. This allows the connecting block 125 to drive the baffle 124 to rotate and tilt relative to the connecting block 125, thereby lifting the impurities.

[0030] Furthermore, the waste shell 107 also includes a scraper 120, a first spring 128, and a placement box 129. The scraper 120 is slidably disposed above the moving plate 123, the first spring 128 is disposed on one side of the scraper 120, and the placement box 129 is disposed on one side of the scraper 120. The connecting block 125 continues to move upward, allowing the scraper 120 to contact the moving plate 123. The scraper 120 is compressed by the moving block and slides along the direction of the first spring 128, thereby scraping impurities on the moving plate 123 into the collection box.

[0031] The filter housing 109 includes a filter housing body 130, a cover plate 131, a filter element 132, a support cover 133, and a purification layer 134. The cover plate 131 is slidably connected to the filter housing body 130 and is located on one side of the filter housing body 130. The filter element 132 is disposed inside the cover plate 131. The support cover 133 is disposed inside the filter housing body 130. The purification layer 134 is disposed between the support cover 133 and the filter housing body 130.

[0032] The filter housing 130 serves as the outer shell of the entire filter assembly 102, providing a robust frame to house other components and protect them from external influences. The cover 131 is slidably connected to the filter housing 130, facilitating easy replacement and internal cleaning of the filter element 132. Located on one side of the housing, the cover 131 ensures convenient operation. The filter element 132, housed within the cover 131, is the core component of the filtration system, responsible for capturing and blocking minute impurities and harmful substances in the water, maintaining water quality. The material and structure of the filter element 132 are customized according to different filtration needs (such as physical filtration, chemical filtration, or biological filtration). The support cover 133, located within the filter housing 130, supports the purification layer 134 and helps maintain the stable arrangement of the filter media, ensuring uniform water flow and improving filtration efficiency. The purification layer 134 is disposed between the support cover 133 and the filter shell body 130. This layer may contain various biological filter media, such as ceramic rings and bio-balls, for cultivating beneficial microorganisms and removing harmful substances such as ammonia nitrogen and nitrite from the water through a biodegradation process.

[0033] The filter assembly 102 also includes a heating jacket 135 and a temperature sensor 136. The heating jacket 135 is disposed on the inlet pipe 106, and the temperature sensor 136 is disposed on one side of the heating jacket 135. The heating jacket 135 wraps around the inlet pipe 106 to provide heating for the water entering the filtration system, ensuring that the water temperature remains stable within a suitable range for aquatic life. The temperature sensor 136 is installed adjacent to the heating jacket 135 to monitor water temperature changes in real time and transmit the signal to the control system for precise temperature regulation.

[0034] The filter assembly 102 also includes a display 137, which is used to digitally display the temperature signal obtained by the temperature sensor 136. The display 137 is used to receive data from the temperature sensor 136 and clearly display the current water temperature in digital form, which is convenient for users to monitor and adjust.

[0035] The cover plate 131 includes a plate body 138, a second spring 139, a buckle 140, and a sealing ring 141. The buckle 140 is slidably connected to the plate body 138 and is located on one side of the plate body 138. The second spring 139 is disposed between the plate body 138 and the buckle 140. The sealing ring 141 is disposed on one side of the plate body 138. A corresponding groove is provided on the filter housing body 130. The plate body 138, as the main body of the cover plate 131, has a robust structure and is easy to install and disassemble. The second spring 139, disposed between the plate body 138 and the buckle 140, provides the necessary elastic pressure to ensure a tight seal between the cover plate 131 and the filter housing body 130, preventing water leakage. The sliding connection design of the buckle 140 not only simplifies the opening and closing operation of the cover plate 131 but also ensures a secure lock. The sealing ring 141, installed on one side of the plate body 138, enhances the sealing performance of the filter housing 109 and prevents water leakage. Finally, the filter housing body 130 is pre-set with a slot that matches the buckle 140, ensuring that the cover plate 131 is securely locked in the correct position, simplifying the assembly process and improving the overall stability and ease of operation.
