A layered filter for fish tanks

Abstract

Layered filtering fish tank. The present invention relates to a fish tank. The present invention provides a layered filtering fish tank to solve the problem of inconvenient cleaning of the sediment at the bottom of the fish tank and the pollution caused by the continuous contact between the filter and the water body in the filtering system. The filter plate separates the upper and lower water bodies in the fish tank, and the independent filtering system filters the upper and lower water bodies respectively. Through the special design of the filter plate, the hole is opened when the lower water body filtering system is closed, and the sediment can settle below the filter plate. When the lower water body filtering system is opened, the hole on the filter plate is closed, and the sediment is extracted into the filtering system for filtering. Thus, the purpose of cleaning and isolating the sediment at the bottom of the fish tank is achieved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a fish tank, and more particularly to a layered filter fish tank. Background Technology

[0002] In fishkeeping, fish waste, food scraps, and other sediment that settle at the bottom of the aquarium are the main sources of pollution causing water quality deterioration. If this sediment is not cleaned promptly, the decomposition and decay of this sediment releases harmful substances that pollute the aquarium water, affecting the health of the fish and easily leading to birth, disease, and death. It also detracts from the aquarium's aesthetics.

[0003] Existing equipment and methods for cleaning up sediment are inconvenient to operate and have poor cleaning results.

[0004] Existing aquarium circulating filtration systems are not specifically designed for cleaning sediment. As a result, they are not very effective at cleaning sediment from the bottom of the aquarium. Furthermore, during the circulation process, the circulating water is in continuous contact with the filtered material. As these material decomposes and decomposes, the harmful substances released will still enter the aquarium with the circulating water, causing water pollution. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the problems of inconvenient cleaning of sediment at the bottom of aquariums and pollution caused by continuous contact between filter media and water in the filtration system, providing a layered filtration aquarium.

[0006] A multi-layered filtration aquarium consists of a main aquarium body, a filtration system, and separate filter plates. By setting up multiple independent filtration systems, it can collect and filter suspended solids in the upper layer of water and settled solids in the lower layer of water. The water circulation of each independent filtration system can be turned on or off independently. When the water circulation of an independent filtration system is turned off, the filtered substances collected by the filtration system are no longer in contact with the aquarium water.

[0007] Based on the aforementioned layered filtration aquarium, a filter plate is placed in the lower part of the aquarium to separate the upper and lower water layers. The filter plate has closable holes and an opening at the rear. When the holes are open, sediment in the aquarium water flows through the holes and settles in the lower water layer below the filter plate. When filtration of the lower water layer is needed, the holes are closed, and the independent filtration system for the lower water layer is activated to draw out the lower water. The water then flows from the opening at the rear of the filter plate into the independent filtration system. The water flow carries the sediment into the independent filtration system for filtration, thus cleaning the sediment at the bottom of the aquarium. After filtration is complete, the water flow in the independent filtration system is stopped, eliminating continuous contact between the filtered material and the aquarium water.

[0008] A further solution is to place a float ball above the holes in the filter plate. The float ball has a density less than water. When the water circulation of the lower independent filtration system is stopped, the float ball floats a certain distance above the holes in the filter plate, at which point the holes are open. Deposits in the aquarium water can then settle below the filter plate through the holes. When the water circulation of the lower independent filtration system is activated, this system draws water from the lower layer of the aquarium. At this time, a significant pressure difference exists between the upper and lower layers of water, causing the upper water to flow to the lower layer. Simultaneously, driven by the water flow, the float ball moves towards the holes in the filter plate, blocking them, thus closing the holes. By configuring the float ball, the filter plate holes can be closed when the water circulation of the lower independent filtration system is activated, and open when the water circulation is stopped.

[0009] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are: By designing the aquarium structure, the independent filtration system for the lower water layer can be activated to quickly clean sediment from the bottom layer. Operation is simpler and the cleaning effect is better than existing technologies. Closing the independent filtration system removes filtered sediment from contact with the aquarium water, reducing sediment contamination. This allows the aquarium water to maintain a healthy state for a longer period, reducing the frequency of water changes. It makes fishkeeping easier and simpler. Attached Figure Description

[0012] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] See Figure 1 A filter plate (3) is set in the middle and lower part of the fish tank, and filter plate holes (4) are set on the filter plate. A float ball (2) is set above the filter plate holes (4). The filter plate separates the upper and lower water bodies of the fish tank. We then set up a first filtration system (5) and a second filtration system (6) for the upper and lower water bodies respectively.

[0014] The first filtration system is used to filter suspended solids in the upper layer of water. The water circulation of the first filtration system is generally set to the on state. It is used to filter suspended solids in the upper layer of water and maintain water circulation in the aquarium.

[0015] When the lower layer of water needs to be filtered, the water circulation of the second filtration system (6) is activated to extract the lower layer of water. At this time, there will be a large pressure difference between the upper and lower layers of water, and the upper layer of water will flow to the lower layer of water through the holes (4) of the filter plate. Driven by the water flow, the float will move towards the holes of the filter plate and block the holes (see...). Figure 2 After all the holes in the filter plates are blocked by the float, the water will flow from the pre-reserved opening (7) at the tail of the filter plate into the second filtration system (6) below the filter plate. The sediment in the lower water body will also enter the second filtration system for filtration along with the water flow.

[0016] After the lower layer of water has finished filtering, the circulation flow of the second filtration system is stopped. At this point, the pressure difference between the upper and lower layers of water is restored. Since the float's density is less than that of water, it will automatically rise, and the pores of the filter plate will also open. Settled matter in the water can then settle below the filter plate through these pores. Once the circulation flow of the second filtration system stops, the filtered matter is no longer in contact with the aquarium water, thus preventing these substances from continuously polluting the aquarium water.
