Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of aquarium equipment, in particular to a multifunctional aquarium viewing lamp. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the primary function of common aquarium ornamental lights on the market is simply illumination, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the aquarium. However, with the accelerating pace of life and increasing demands for convenience in aquarium farming, ornamental lights with a single illumination function are no longer sufficient. For example, aquarists often forget to feed their fish on time due to their busy schedule, which impacts their growth. Furthermore, manually turning ornamental lights on and off is cumbersome and fails to meet people's demand for intelligent control.

[0003] In addition, the feed delivery device of the prior art can only deliver the feed at a fixed position when delivering the feed, which causes the feed to accumulate at the delivery point. This not only easily causes aquatic animals to scramble for food, but also the uneven delivery of feed also leads to overfeeding or underfeeding. For this reason, this solution proposes a multifunctional aquarium viewing lamp. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The multifunctional aquarium viewing lamp provided by the present invention solves the problems of the prior art aquarium viewing lamps having a single function and being unable to automatically and evenly distribute feed.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An aquarium multifunctional ornamental light comprises a mounting frame and a feeding mechanism mounted on the mounting frame;

[0007] The mounting frame includes two rails for clamping on the edge of the fish tank and a mounting plate slidably connected to the top of the rails, a lighting lamp is installed on the bottom surface of the mounting plate, and a locking assembly is installed on the rails;

[0008] The feeding mechanism includes a material tank mounted on the top surface of the mounting plate and a feeding assembly mounted on the bottom surface of the mounting plate;

[0009] The feeding assembly includes a discharge pipe fixed to the bottom surface of the mounting plate and connected to the interior of the material tank, a tee pipe rotatably sleeved on the outer periphery of the bottom of the discharge pipe, and two feeding cylinders rotatably sleeved on the outside of the other two ends of the tee pipe, the tee pipe is a slanted tee with a degree, and a plurality of feeding chutes are opened on the bottom surface of the feeding cylinder. A transmission assembly for driving the tee pipe to rotate is installed on the material tank;

[0010] It also includes a gear disc installed on the bottom surface of the mounting plate, the gear disc is sleeved on the outer periphery of the discharge pipe, and the outer periphery of the feeding barrel is sleeved with a linkage gear engaged with the gear disc.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, not only can the feed be automatically and regularly fed into the fish tank, but the feed drum can also be driven to rotate when feeding, so that the feed can be fed more evenly into the fish tank, significantly reducing the probability of food snatching.

[0012] As a further improvement of the above solution, the bottom surface of the track is provided with a slot arranged along its length direction, and the locking assembly is a locking bolt rotatably connected to the outer wall of the track, one end of the locking bolt extends into the slot and is fixed with an anti-slip pad.

[0013] The above technical solution makes it easy to disassemble and assemble the mounting frame, reducing the difficulty of installation.

[0014] As a further improvement of the above-mentioned solution, the top surface of the track is provided with a slide groove arranged along its length direction and with a "┹"-shaped cross-section. A slider that matches it is slidably connected inside the slide groove. The top of the slider extends above the track and is fixed with a support column. The top of the support column is fixed to the bottom surface of the mounting plate.

[0015] The above technical solution can facilitate the user to adjust the position of the mounting plate above the fish tank.

[0016] As a further improvement of the above solution, a feeding port is provided on the top surface of the material tank, and a sealing cover for covering the feeding port is hingedly connected to the top surface of the material tank through a hinge.

[0017] As a further improvement of the above scheme, the transmission assembly includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the material tank and a connecting shaft fixed at its bottom. The bottom of the rotating shaft extends into the discharge pipe and is coaxially arranged therewith. The bottom of the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the tee pipe. A motor for driving the rotating shaft to rotate is installed on the top surface of the material tank.

[0018] As a further improvement of the above solution, the outer periphery of the rotating shaft is sleeved with spiral blades extending to the inner side of the discharge pipe, and the bottom of the material tank is a funnel-shaped structure.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, the setting of the spiral blades can not only prevent the feed from falling from the discharge pipe, but also achieve the purpose of quantitative feed delivery through the rotation of the spiral blades, and can also prevent the feed from clogging the discharge pipe.

[0020] As a further improvement of the above solution, the toothed disc is equipped with a blowing mechanism for blowing away the feed that falls on the water surface when the tee pipe rotates. The blowing mechanism includes an annular tube sleeved on the outer periphery of the toothed disc and an air blowing assembly installed under the mounting plate for conveying air into the annular tube.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. By setting up a feeding mechanism, not only can the feed be fed at a fixed time and in a fixed quantity, but the feed can also be evenly spread on the water surface of the fish tank when feeding, so that the aquatic animals in the fish tank can eat more peacefully and evenly.

[0025] 2. Through the cooperation between the toothed disc and the transmission gear, the feeding drum is driven to rotate while following the revolution of the tee pipe, which helps to discharge the feed more evenly from multiple feeding chutes, further improving the uniformity of feed delivery.

[0026] 3. Through the cooperation between the ring tube and the blower assembly, the blower assembly is driven to operate while the tee tube rotates, thereby delivering air into the ring tube. Finally, the air blows on the water surface to generate ripples, which helps to evenly disperse the feed floating on the water surface, expand the area for feed delivery, and reduce the probability of food snatching.

[0038] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. It should be noted that, under the premise of no conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0039] Example 1:

[0040] Please combine Figures 1-8 The aquarium multifunctional ornamental lamp of this embodiment includes a mounting frame and a feeding mechanism 2 mounted on the mounting frame;

[0041] The mounting frame includes two rails 5 for being clamped on the edge of the fish tank and a mounting plate 3 sliding on the top of the rails 5. A lighting lamp 13 is installed on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 3, and a PLC control panel 4 connected to the lighting lamp 13 is installed on the mounting plate 3. By setting a Bluetooth module and a WIfi module on the PLC control panel 4, the PLC control panel 4 can be connected to the APP on the mobile phone through the network, and then the control panel 4 can be remotely controlled through the APP. In this embodiment, the lighting lamp 13 is a multi-color LED lamp, which can emit light of different colors under the control of the PLC control panel 4, thereby meeting the needs of growth or appreciation of aquatic plants and animals.

[0042] A locking assembly is installed on the track 5. The bottom surface of the track 5 is provided with a card slot along its length. The locking assembly is a locking bolt 6 that is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the track 5. One end of the locking bolt 6 extends into the card slot and is fixed with an anti-slip pad 14. When installing the mounting frame, the two tracks 5 are respectively clamped on the two side walls of the fish tank 1, and then the locking bolt 6 is tightened so that one end of the anti-slip pad 4 abuts against the outer wall of the fish tank 1, thereby completing the fixation of the track 5.

[0043] The feeding mechanism 2 includes a material tank 201 installed on the top surface of the mounting plate 3 and a feeding assembly installed on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 3. A feeding port 207 is provided on the top surface of the material tank 201. A sealing cover 203 for covering the feeding port 207 is hingedly connected to the top surface of the material tank 201 through a hinge. Feed is stored in the material tank 201. The material tank 201 is made of transparent material, so that the user can more intuitively observe the amount of feed inside the material tank 201 and add feed in time.

[0044] The feeding assembly includes a discharge pipe 210 fixed to the bottom surface of the mounting plate 3 and connected to the interior of the feed tank 201, a tee pipe 212 rotatably sleeved on the outer periphery of the bottom of the discharge pipe 210, and two feeding barrels 205 rotatably sleeved on the outside of the other two ends of the tee pipe 212. The tee pipe 212 is a 45-degree inclined tee. The inclination of the feeding barrel 205 is the same as the inclination of one end of the tee pipe 212 to which it is connected. A plurality of feeding chutes 213 are provided on the bottom surface of the feeding barrel 205. After the feed in the feed tank 201 falls into the tee pipe 212 through the discharge pipe 210, it will enter the two feeding barrels 205 from the other two ends of the tee pipe 212 respectively, and finally fall into the interior of the fish tank 1 in a dispersed manner through the plurality of feeding chutes 213 on the bottom surface of the feeding barrel 205, thereby avoiding the accumulation of feed in a certain place when feeding, which causes the aquatic animals in the fish tank 1 to scramble for food and uneven food intake.

[0045] The feed tank 201 is provided with a transmission assembly for driving the three-way pipe 212 to rotate. The transmission assembly includes a rotating shaft 208 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the feed tank 201 and a connecting shaft 211 fixed to its bottom. The bottom of the rotating shaft 208 extends into the discharge pipe 210 and is coaxially arranged therewith. The bottom of the connecting shaft 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the three-way pipe 212. A motor 202 for driving the rotating shaft 208 to rotate is installed on the top surface of the feed tank 201. The outer periphery of the rotating shaft 208 is sleeved with a spiral blade 209 extending to the inner side of the discharge pipe 210. The gap between the outer side of the spiral blade 209 and the discharge pipe 212 is larger than the particle size of the feed. The arrangement of the spiral blade 209 can not only prevent the feed in the feed tank 201 from falling, but also can move the feed in the feed tank 1 when it rotates. The feed tank 201 is transported to the three-way pipe 212, and the blockage of the discharge pipe 210 is avoided. The bottom of the feed tank 201 is a funnel-shaped structure. The motor 202 is connected to the PLC control panel 4. The start and stop time of the motor 202 can be set through the PLC control panel 4, so as to achieve the purpose of timed feeding. After the motor 202 rotates, it drives the rotating shaft 208 to rotate, and then drives the spiral blade 209 to rotate, so that the feed in the feed tank 201 is transported to the three-way pipe 212. At the same time, the connecting shaft 211 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 208, so that when the feed enters the interior of the three-way pipe 212, the rotating shaft 208 will also drive the three-way pipe 212 to rotate synchronously, so that the feed falling from the feeding chute 213 can fall more evenly on the water surface in the fish tank 1, thereby expanding the feeding range.

[0046] In this embodiment, the top surface of the track 5 is provided with a slide groove 8 arranged along its length direction and with a "┹"-shaped cross-section. A slider 15 that matches it is slidably connected inside the slide groove 8. The top of the slider 15 extends above the track 5 and is fixed with a support column 7. The top of the support column 7 is fixed to the bottom surface of the mounting plate 3. The arrangement of the slide groove 8 and the slider 15 allows the mounting plate 3 to slide along the length direction of the track 5, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the position of the mounting plate 3 above the fish tank 1.

[0047] Example 2:

[0048] Combine Figure 2-Figure 6, based on the embodiment 1, the present embodiment is further improved in that: it also includes a toothed disc 204 mounted on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 3, the top surface of the toothed disc 204 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate 3 through a fixing rod, the toothed disc 204 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the discharge pipe 210, and the outer periphery of the feeding cylinder 205 is sleeved with a linkage gear 206 meshing with the toothed disc 204, and the tee pipe 212 rotates with the rotating shaft 208 while driving the feeding cylinder 205 to rotate synchronously with it, and the feeding cylinder 205 rotates. The moving gear 206 rotates along the bottom surface of the gear disc 204, thereby driving the feeding barrel 205 to rotate while following the revolution of the tee pipe 212, thereby increasing the residence time of the feed in the feeding barrel 205, so that the feed can slide to the side of the feeding barrel 205 away from the tee pipe 212 during the rotation of the feeding barrel 205, and then fall from the feeding chute 213 when it is facing downward, thereby helping the feed in the feeding barrel 205 to be more evenly discharged from multiple feeding chutes 213.

[0049] Example 3:

[0050] Combine Figure 2-Figure 6 Based on Example 1, this embodiment is further improved in that: a blowing mechanism is installed on the toothed disc 204 for blowing away the feed falling on the water surface when the three-way pipe 212 rotates. The blowing mechanism includes a ring tube 9 sleeved on the outer periphery of the toothed disc 204 and a blowing assembly installed under the mounting plate 3 for conveying air to the ring tube 9. A plurality of air outlet holes are opened on the bottom surface of the ring tube 9. When the feed is put in, air is conveyed into the ring tube 9 through the blowing assembly, and the air is then ejected from the air outlet and blown onto the water surface in the fish tank 1, thereby generating ripples on the water surface, which not only improves the viewing effect, but also can blow the feed falling on the water surface to the outside, so that the area for feeding the feed is further increased, thereby ensuring the uniformity of their feeding when there are a large number of aquatic animals, and avoiding the situation of overfeeding or underfeeding.

[0051] The air blowing assembly includes a cam 11 sleeved on the outer periphery of the three-way pipe 212 and an air cylinder 10 installed on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 3. A piston plate is installed on the inner side of the air cylinder 10. A piston rod 12 is fixed to one side of the piston plate. The other end of the piston rod 12 extends to the outside of the air cylinder 10 and abuts against the outer periphery of the cam 11. An elastic member is installed on the outer periphery of the piston rod 12 for driving it to automatically reset after moving. An air supply pipe connected to the ring pipe 9 is installed on the side of the air cylinder 10 away from the cam 12. The three-way pipe 212 drives the cam 11 to rotate synchronously when it rotates. When the cam 1 When the long end of cam 11 gradually approaches piston rod 12, it will press piston rod 12 to move inside cylinder 10, so that the air in cylinder 10 is pressed into annular tube 9 for discharge. When the long end of cam 11 gradually moves away from piston rod 12, the piston rod will gradually move to the outside of cylinder 10 driven by the elastic member, so that the outside air can be sucked in through the air outlet and finally enter the inside of cylinder 10 to wait for the next output. In this way, the purpose of automatically driving the blower assembly to operate and deliver air to annular tube 9 is achieved while the tee pipe 212 rotates.

[0052] In this embodiment, the elastic member includes a spring block sleeved on the outer periphery of the piston rod 12 and a spring movably sleeved on the outer periphery of the piston rod 12. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the spring block, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the air cylinder 10. Through the setting of the spring, when the piston rod 12 moves toward the inside of the air cylinder 10, the spring is compressed, and when the long end of the cam 11 gradually moves away from the piston rod 12, the piston rod 12 can automatically move toward the outside of the air cylinder 10 under the action of the spring, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically letting outside air in and out of the air cylinder 10 for standby.

[0053] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and replacements made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
