[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 The utility model provides an embodiment: a portable fish tank with a transport structure, including a base 1, the upper surface of the base 1 is fixedly connected with a cylinder body 2, the upper end of the cylinder body 2 is threadedly connected with a cover plate 3, the cover plate 3 can seal the inside of the cylinder body 2, the upper inner wall surface of the cylinder body 2 is provided with an internal thread, the outer surface of the cover plate 3 is fixedly connected with an internal thread, the cover plate 3 can be fixedly connected to the upper end of the cylinder body 2 through the set internal and external threads, and the cover plate 3 can be detached from the upper end of the cylinder body 2 when it is rotated.

[0032] Reference Figure 2-Figure 4, the upper surface of the cover plate 3 is provided with an air hole 4, and the air hole 4 runs through the cover plate 3. When the cover plate 3 seals the inside of the cylinder body 2, the inside of the cylinder body 2 can exchange airflow with the outside through the air hole 4, so as to avoid the exhaustion of oxygen in the cylinder body 2 and cause hypoxia of the fish in the cylinder body 2. The inside of the air hole 4 is fixedly connected with a fixing ring 5, and a rubber plug 6 is arranged below the fixing ring 5. The size of the rubber plug 6 is adapted to the internal size of the fixing ring 5. When the rubber plug 6 moves upward and enters the inside of the fixing ring 5, the inside of the fixing ring 5 can be blocked, so as to seal the inside of the air hole 4. A limited amount of air is arranged below the rubber plug 6. The positioning unit includes a cross 61, which is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rubber plug 6. When the cross 61 moves, it can drive the rubber plug 6 to move synchronously. The inner wall surfaces on the left and right sides of the air hole 4 are provided with guide grooves 62. The left and right ends of the cross 61 are respectively provided with guide grooves 62 on the inner wall surfaces on the left and right sides of the air hole 4 for internal sliding connection. The guide grooves 62 can guide and limit the movement of the cross 61, so that the cross 61 and the rubber plug 6 can only perform linear motion in the up and down directions, thereby avoiding the deviation of the rubber plug 6 and making it impossible to seal the inside of the fixing ring 5.

[0033] A moving unit is provided above the fixed ring 5, and the moving unit includes a bucket-shaped groove 71. The bucket-shaped groove 71 is opened at the upper end of the air hole 4. The bottom end of the bucket-shaped groove 71 is fixedly connected with a filter plate 72. A moving ball 73 is provided above the filter plate 72. The filter plate 72 can prevent the moving ball 73 from entering the air hole 4, which makes the moving ball 73 unable to move. The bottom end of the moving ball 73 is fixedly connected with a connecting rope 74. The bottom end of the connecting rope 74 passes through the filter plate 72. The bottom end of the connecting rope 74 is fixedly connected to the top of the rubber plug 6. When the moving ball 73 moves, the rubber plug 6 can be driven to move synchronously through the connecting rope 74. Due to the length limit of the rubber plug 6 and the connecting rope 74, the moving ball 73 can be prevented from rolling out of the bucket-shaped groove 71.

[0034] When the fish tank is being transported, when the cylinder body 2 is tilted due to external force, the angle of the cover plate 3 will change in the tilting direction. At this time, the moving ball 73 will roll in the tilting direction inside the bucket-shaped groove 71. When the moving ball 73 moves, the rubber plug 6 will be pulled into the fixed ring 5 through the connecting rope 74 to seal the inside of the air hole 4, which can prevent the water inside the cylinder body 2 from leaking through the air hole 4. Restricted by the connecting rope 74, when the cylinder body 2 is reset, the moving ball 73 can be reset to the bottom end of the bucket-shaped groove 71, so that the rubber plug 6 can be reset under the action of the cross 61 and its own gravity, thereby preventing the air hole 4 from being blocked for a long time and causing hypoxia for the fish in the cylinder body 2.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5A card slot 8 is provided on the right side surface of the cover plate 3, and a storage slot 9 is provided on the bottom surface of the base 1. The size of the storage slot 9 matches the size of the cover plate 3. When the cover plate 3 needs to be opened for viewing and feeding, the cover plate 3 can be inserted into the storage slot 9 for storage to avoid loss. A moving slot 10 is provided on the right inner wall surface of the storage slot 9. A wedge block 11 is inserted into the left end of the moving slot 10. The wedge block 11 can move linearly in the left and right directions inside the moving slot 10. The left side of the wedge block 11 The bottom end is arranged in a chamfered structure, the size of the wedge block 11 is adapted to the size of the card slot 8, the right end of the wedge block 11 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 12, the right end of the connecting rod 12 passes through the base 1, and the right end of the connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to a circular plate 13. The user can drive the wedge block 11 to perform linear motion in the left and right directions through the circular plate 13 and the connecting rod 12. A spring 14 is sleeved on the outer side of the connecting rod 12. When the wedge block 11 moves to the right, the spring 14 can be squeezed, so that the spring 14 is compressed to generate elastic potential energy.

[0036] When the cover plate 3 enters the storage groove 9 for storage, the cover plate 3 will squeeze the wedge block 11 into the movable groove 10 along the inclined surface at the bottom of the wedge block 11. As the cover plate 3 completely enters the storage groove 9, the slot 8 will be aligned with the wedge block 11. At this time, the wedge block 11 will move to the left and reset under the elastic potential energy of the spring 14, and then enter the slot 8 to fix the cover plate 3. When the cover plate 3 needs to be used, the circular plate 13 can be pulled to the right to reach the wedge block 11 to move to the right and leave the inside of the slot 8, thereby releasing the clamping fixation of the cover plate 3 and allowing the cover plate 3 to be taken out.

[0037] Working principle: When the fish tank needs to be transported and moved, the circular plate 13 can be pulled to drive the wedge block 11 to move to the right to release the clamping fixation of the cover plate 3, and then the cover plate 3 can be taken out and screwed to the top of the cylinder body 2 to seal the inside of the cylinder body 2. When the transportation equipment shakes or deviates during transportation, causing the cylinder body 2 to tilt, the moving ball 73 will move in the tilting direction inside the bucket-shaped groove 71, and then drive the rubber plug 6 to move inside the fixed ring 5 through the connecting rope 74. At this time, the rubber plug 6 will seal the inside of the fixed ring 5, and then block the air hole 4 to prevent water in the cylinder body 2 from leaking. When the cylinder body 2 is reset, the moving ball 73 will return to the inside of the bucket-shaped groove 71, and the rubber plug 6 will also move and reset under the action of gravity to prevent the air hole 4 from being blocked all the time and causing fish hypoxia.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
