Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The utility model relates to a fish excrement collector for an aquarium fish tank. [Background technology]

[0002] There will be some debris or dirt in the fish tank, the most common of which is fish feces, which need to be cleaned regularly. The most common thing on the market is the filter, but the frequent disassembly and assembly of the filter and the cleaning of the filter screen bring certain troubles to the users. Later, some fish feces collectors appeared on the market. The most common one is the patent announcement number 202020515444.X, and the name is a fish tank collector. A guide cone is arranged in the filter chamber. When the water pump is working, the water in the fish tank enters the filter chamber from the bottom, and the fish feces move downward under the action of gravity, and after being guided by the guide cone, it reaches the bottom of the filter chamber. The conical guide bucket has a blocking effect. Although it can block the fish feces, since it is not closed, some of the fish feces will still flow back into the fish tank after settling. Moreover, such a design has many parts and is inconvenient to install. [Contents of the utility model]

[0019] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods:

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a collector with a control valve for cleaning fish feces includes a collecting water tank 1. In this embodiment, the collecting water tank 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped. A water inlet 2 is provided at the bottom of the collecting water tank 1. In this embodiment, a vertically extending annular lower edge is provided at the bottom of the collecting water tank 1. A plurality of water inlet holes 2 are provided and are on the annular lower edge. The collecting water tank 1 is provided with a water pump 3 that can pump water out of the collecting water tank 1. The water pump 3 generates suction to pump water out of the collecting water tank 1. The water in the fish tank enters from the water inlet 2 and is pumped out by the water pump 3. The water in the fish tank circulates. A control port 4 is provided at the bottom of the collecting water tank 1 for supplying water into the collecting water tank 1. The control port 4 connects the collecting water tank 1 and the water inlet 2. A collecting trough 6 is also provided at the bottom of the collecting water tank 1. Fish feces are deposited in the collecting trough 6 under the action of gravity. The control port 4 is provided with a control valve 5 which can close the control port 4 and can be flushed open when the water pump 3 is started to generate suction to make water flow from the water inlet hole 2 to the control port 4. The control valve 5 is driven upward by the water flow. When the water pump 3 is closed, the control valve 5 is reset to close the control port 4 and the fish feces fall into the collection tank 6 under the action of gravity. In this embodiment, the control valve 5 is reset downward by the action of gravity to close the control port 4. Of course, a spring or elastic member can also be provided to support or pull the control valve 5 through the spring or elastic member. At this time, when the water pump 3 is working, the water flow impacting the control valve 5 needs to overcome the elastic force of the spring or elastic member to open. The upper end of the collection water tank 1 is provided with a water pumping port 12 plugged into the water pumping end of the water supply pump 3. The water pumping port 12 is located in the middle of the upper end of the collection water tank 1 and the middle of the lower end of the control port 4. The aperture of the control port 4 is multiple times larger than the water pumping port 12, so that it is easy to generate a torrent and make the fish feces easy to deposit. The water inlet 2 is located at the lower end of the collection water tank 1. The bottom of the collecting trough 6 is lower than the upper end of the control port 4, and the collecting trough 6 is surrounded by the outer side of the control port 4, so that after the fish feces are deposited, they are not easily impacted by the incoming water flow, which is convenient for the fish feces to be deposited.

[0021] In this embodiment, since the control valve 5 is in an unconstrained state, in order to make the position of the control valve 5 controllable, a limit member 11 is provided in the collection tank 1, which can block the control valve 5 when the control valve 5 is flushed open by the water flow. The limit member 11 is a limit frame above the control valve 5, which can block the control valve 5 from moving upward.

[0022] In order to facilitate installation, a mounting frame 7 protruding upward is provided at the bottom of the collection water tank 1, and the control port 4 is provided on the mounting frame 7. The bottom of the mounting frame 7 is concave to form a water inlet cavity 71 connecting the water inlet hole 2 and the control port 4, and the control port 4 is provided in the middle of the top of the mounting frame 7. The mounting frame 7 is provided with an inclined wall 72 extending upward from the edge of the collection water tank 1 to the middle, and the inclined wall 72 and the side wall of the collection water tank 1 form the collection tank 6. The control port 4 is at the top of the inclined wall 72, and the collection tank 6 is at the edge, so that fish feces are easily deposited. A filter screen 41 is provided in the control port 4, and the mesh of the filter screen 41 is large enough to allow fish feces particles to enter. A plug hole 42 is provided in the middle of the filter screen 41. A valve stem 51 inserted into the plug hole 42 is provided on the control valve 5. The control valve 5 is composed of a circular end cover, and the valve stem 51 is in the middle of the circular end cover. When the water pump 3 is closed, the control valve 5 is reset under the action of gravity and the valve stem 51 moves downward in the plug hole 42, and the valve stem 51 passes through the plug hole 42 downward.
