Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fish tanks, and particularly relates to a bracket for a fish tank cover. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of living standards, more and more people like to keep fish at home. As a necessary item for fish keeping, fish tanks have even entered more families as home decorations. Therefore, many fish tanks with fish tank covers (intelligent fish tank operation panels) have emerged on the market. This utility model patent introduces a bracket for a fish tank cover.

[0003] Most of the existing types of brackets are four-corner support types, which can only be applied to the closed state of the fish tank. When the fish tank cover is opened, the fish tank cover is separated from the bracket and a place needs to be found for placement. Moreover, due to the four-corner support occupying the front and side spaces of the fish tank, the viewing effect is extremely affected. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the embodiment of the utility model is to provide a bracket for a fish tank cover, aiming to solve the problems that the existing brackets for fish tanks occupy a large area and the fish tank cover needs to be separated from the bracket when opening and closing the fish tank cover.

[0005] The utility model is realized as follows: A bracket for a fish tank cover includes a fixed seat fixed on the fish tank, and further includes: an upper support fixed on the fish tank cover, a contact surface is arranged on the upper support, and the contact surface is horizontally arranged with the fish tank cover; an arc-shaped guide groove is arranged on the upper support, a hinge body is fixed at the upper end of the fixed seat, and the hinge body is slidably connected in the arc-shaped guide groove; a support surface one and a support surface two are arranged on the upper support, the support surface one is arranged parallel to the contact surface, and the support surface two is arranged perpendicular to the contact surface; a fixed seat support surface one and a fixed seat support surface two are arranged at the upper end of the fixed seat; when the support surface one of the support and the fixed seat support surface one are in contact, the fish tank cover is in a vertical state; when the support surface two of the support and the fixed seat support surface two are in contact, the fish tank cover is in a horizontal state.

[0006] In a further technical solution, a threaded hole is arranged on the upper support, a through hole is arranged on the fish tank cover, and the fish tank cover and the upper support are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0007] In a further technical solution, a sunk groove is arranged at the lower end of the fixed seat, and the width of the sunk groove matches the thickness of the fish tank side wall.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0009] A bracket for a fish tank cover provided by the present utility model. After the bracket of this design is combined with the fish tank cover, it is a cantilever structure, only occupying the space on the back of both sides of the fish tank, and exposing the entire front of the best viewing angle of the fish tank, ensuring the viewing needs of the fish tank users to the greatest extent; after installing the bracket, there is a gap between the fish tank cover and the fish tank. This gap allows operations such as cleaning the fish tank and feeding without the user lifting the fish tank cover, ensuring the daily maintenance needs of the fish tank users. This gap also makes the ventilation of the fish tank better and can effectively reduce the generation of water mist; since the sizes and specifications of the fish tank covers produced by various manufacturers are different, this type of bracket design also belongs to non-standard products. Limited by production costs and applicability, most of the existing brackets on the market use 3D printing as the forming process; this design also uses FDM form 3D printing to form. By designing the same bottom surface, all components of the structure can be 3D printed through the same reference plane, ensuring the assembly accuracy of the structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0018] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0019] The following describes in detail the specific implementation of the present utility model in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0020] As Figures 1-7 shown, a bracket for a fish tank cover provided by an embodiment of the present utility model includes a fixed seat 3 fixed on a fish tank 4, and further includes: an upper support 1 fixed on the fish tank cover 5, a contact surface 105 is provided on the upper support 1, and the contact surface 105 is horizontally arranged with the fish tank cover 5; an arc-shaped guide groove 104 is provided on the upper support 1, a hinge main body 2 is fixed at the upper end of the fixed seat 3, and the hinge main body 2 is slidably connected in the arc-shaped guide groove 104; a support surface one 102 and a support surface two 103 are provided on the upper support 1, the support surface one 102 is arranged parallel to the contact surface 105, and the support surface two 103 is arranged perpendicular to the contact surface 105; a fixed seat surface one 302 and a fixed seat surface two 303 are provided at the upper end of the fixed seat 3; when the support surface one 102 contacts the fixed seat surface one 302, the fish tank cover 5 is in a vertical state; when the support surface two 103 contacts the fixed seat surface two 303, the fish tank cover 5 is in a horizontal state; a threaded hole 101 is provided on the upper support 1, the fish tank cover 5 is provided with a through hole, and the fish tank cover 5 and the upper support 1 are fixedly connected by bolts; a sunk groove 301 is provided at the lower end of the fixed seat 3, and the width of the sunk groove 301 matches the thickness of the side wall of the fish tank 4.

[0021] In the embodiment of the present utility model, during use, a bolt is passed through the through hole on the fish tank cover 5 and screwed into the threaded hole 101 on the upper support 1, so that the bracket is fixedly connected to the fish tank cover 5, and then the sunk groove 301 on the fixed seat 3 is stuck on the side wall of the fish tank 4, thereby completing the installation and fixation of the bracket; when the fish tank cover 5 is in the closed state (as Figure 6 and Figure 7), the fixed seat 3 is in a fixed state. The fixed seat 3 contacts the upper support 1, that is, the second support contact surface 103 contacts the second fixed seat contact surface 303, which plays a limiting role on the upper support 1 to prevent the upper support 1 from continuing to drive the fish tank cover 5 to rotate downward, so that the fish tank cover 5 is in a horizontal state (closing the cover). The user can lift the fish tank cover 5, and the fish tank cover 5 drives the upper support 1 to rotate around the hinge body 2. After rotating 90 degrees, the fixed seat 3 contacts and limits the other side of the upper support 1, that is, the first support contact surface 102 contacts the first fixed seat contact surface 302, so that the fish tank cover 5 is in a vertical (opening the cover) state. Since the masses and densities of various fish tank covers 5 are different, the mechanism changes the contact position between the fixed seat 3 and the upper support 1, that is, the positions of the first support contact surface 102 and the first fixed seat contact surface 302, so that the center of gravity of the fish tank cover 5 is centered after opening the cover, and the state of the fish tank cover 5 after opening is stable in terms of the center of gravity.

[0022] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
