Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of aquarium equipment technology, specifically to an aquarium filtration device and its filtration method. Background Technology

[0002] After prolonged use, the fish and plants in the aquarium will produce excrement and other impurities, which will affect the water quality. Therefore, a filtration device is used to filter the water in the aquarium to remove excrement and other impurities, so that the water in the aquarium can be recycled for a long time.

[0003] The aquarium filters used in the current technology often have a filter layer inside the filter. Impurities accumulate in the filter layer over a long period of time, which makes the filter easy to clog. In order to avoid impurities clogging the filter, the filter layer needs to be cleaned or replaced regularly. However, the filter layer is difficult to disassemble, and cleaning or replacing the filter layer is time-consuming and laborious. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a fish tank filtration device and filtration method to solve the technical problems of easy clogging and difficult cleaning of the filter layer in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

Impurities are trapped in the water inlet area on one side of the filter screen.

[0014] S2. When the filter screen becomes clogged, causing the water flow to weaken, close the inlet to stop the water intake;

[0015] S3. Start the ultrasonic source, which cleans the impurities on the filter screen until the impurities on the surface of the filter screen are removed and suspended in the water.

[0016] S4. Turn off the ultrasonic source and open the drain outlet until the water containing impurities is drained.

[0026] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fish tank filtration device and filtration method, solving the technical problems of easy clogging and difficult cleaning of the filter layer in the prior art.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] refer to Figure 1 As shown, Embodiment 1 provides a fish tank filtration device, including a housing 1, a filter screen 2, and an ultrasonic source 3. The housing 1 can be rectangular, circular, or other shapes; in this embodiment, a rectangular shape is used as an example. The housing 1 has a receiving cavity, and the filter screen 2 is disposed within the housing 1. The filter screen 2 divides the housing 1 into an inlet area 101 and an outlet area 102. The ultrasonic source 3 is used to clean impurities on the filter screen 2. The ultrasonic source 3 is disposed on the outer surface of the housing 1. Preferably, the ultrasonic source 3 is disposed on the outer side of the bottom surface of the housing 1. When water covers the filter screen 2 in the fish tank filtration device, the ultrasonic source 3 is activated, and the water cleans the filter screen 2 under the action of ultrasonic waves. It should be noted that the ultrasonic source 3 is an existing design, and its structure will not be specifically discussed here. The frequency of the ultrasonic source 3 is adjustable, with a working frequency of 20KHZ-60KHZ. The high-frequency vibration of the ultrasonic source 3 removes impurities attached to the surface of the filter screen 2.

[0030] The housing 1 includes an inlet 4, a drain 5, and an outlet 6. The inlet 4 and the drain 5 are connected to the inlet area 101, and the outlet 6 is connected to the outlet area 102. That is, the inlet 4 and the drain 5 are located on one side of the filter screen 2, and the outlet 6 is located on the other side of the filter screen 2.

[0031] The filter screen 2 is preferably a high-density filter screen with a mesh size greater than 100 mesh. High-density filter screens can effectively intercept impurities such as solids and algae in the water. The housing 1 is preferably made of transparent acrylic material, which facilitates observation of the internal cleanliness.

[0032] After the filter device has been used for a period of time, some impurities will remain on the filter screen 2. The filter screen 2 can be cleaned by ultrasonic vibration source 3, so that the filter screen 2 does not need to be disassembled for separate cleaning or replacement, thus solving the technical problems of easy clogging and difficult cleaning of the filter screen 2.

[0033] Preferably, the drain outlet 5 is located at the bottom of the housing 1, such as... Figure 1 The water inlet 4 is located at the bottom of the side of the shell 1. The height of the water inlet 4 can be higher than the height of the drain outlet 5 to prevent impurities in the water from clogging it. The water outlet 6 is located at the top of the shell 1. The water inlet 4 is connected to the aquarium's circulating water pump via a pipe, allowing water from the aquarium to enter the inlet area 101 through the inlet 4, then pass through the filter screen 2 into the outlet area 102. The water in the outlet area 102 enters the outlet 6 and is then guided back to the aquarium through a pipe. A check valve is installed at the water inlet 4, allowing only water to enter. The drain outlet 5 is connected to an external drain pipe, and its opening and closing are controlled by a solenoid valve.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] refer to Figure 2 As shown, Example 2 provides another aquarium filtration device, which is basically the same as Example 1. The similarities will not be repeated here. Only the differences will be introduced below.

[0036] The ultrasonic source 3 is located inside the housing, preferably in the middle of the water outlet area 102 near the filter screen 2. The ultrasonic source 3 can be fixed by a bracket or placed directly on the filter screen 2.

[0037] The drain outlet 5 can be located on the bottom surface of the housing, which facilitates the drainage of water from the filter device.

[0038] This application also provides a filtration method for an aquarium filtration device. Using the aquarium filtration device provided in the above embodiments, the specific implementation steps of the filtration method are as follows:

[0039] Step S1, filtration stage. Specifically, start the aquarium circulating water pump. The water to be filtered enters the inlet zone 101 from the inlet 4. The water to be filtered in the inlet zone 101 enters the outlet zone 102 through the filter screen 2. The filtered water flows back to the aquarium from the outlet 6. Impurities are trapped in the inlet zone 101 on one side of the filter screen 2.

[0040] Step S2, cleaning preparation. Specifically, when the filter screen 2 becomes clogged, causing the water flow to weaken, close the water inlet 4 to stop the water intake.

[0041] Step S3, ultrasonic cleaning. Specifically, the ultrasonic source 3 is activated, and the ultrasonic source 3 cleans the impurities on the filter screen 2 until the impurities on the surface of the filter screen 2 are detached and suspended in the water.

[0042] Step S4, sewage discharge stage. Specifically, turn off the ultrasonic source 3 and open the sewage outlet 5 until the water containing impurities is drained.

[0043] The water containing impurities is discharged from the bottom of the shell 1 under the action of gravity, which takes about 30 seconds until the sewage is completely drained.

[0044] Step S5: Restart the filtration. Specifically, close the drain outlet 5 and reopen the inlet 4 to resume the filtration cycle.

[0045] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way (as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features). For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described; these embodiments not explicitly written should also be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
