Detailed implementation manners

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Usually, the components of the embodiments of the present application described and illustrated herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0025] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, an experimental fish tank in this embodiment includes a fish tank body 1 with an open top and at least one partition 2.

[0026] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the partition 2 is movably arranged in the fish tank body 1, and the front and rear edges 21, 22 of the partition 2 are in clearance fit with the front and rear inner walls 11, 12 of the fish tank body 1, and the bottom edge 23 of the partition 2 is in clearance fit with the bottom inner wall 13 of the fish tank body 1; so as to use the partition 2 to divide the fish tank body 1 into multiple independent but communicating areas, and each independent area can be used as an experimental area for breeding fish, so as to facilitate the division of the water body in a fish tank body 1 to meet the same water quality conditions for parallel groups and reduce experimental errors.

[0027] In this embodiment, two partitions 2 are arranged in the fish tank body 1, and the fish tank body 1 is divided into three experimental areas. Of course, the number of the partitions 2 can be increased or decreased according to actual needs.

[0028] Again, asFigure 4 and Figure 5 To facilitate the movable adjustment of the partition plate 2, in this embodiment, first magnetic members 3 are respectively provided on the front and rear edges 21 and 22 of the partition plate 2, and second magnetic members 4 magnetically engaged with the first magnetic members 3 are respectively provided on the front and rear outer walls 14 and 15 of the fish tank body 1; thus, since the respective sides of the foregoing partition plate 2 are in clearance fit with the inner wall of the fish tank body 1, it is convenient to slide and adjust the position of the partition plate 2 in the fish tank body 1. Also, since the first magnetic members 3 and the second magnetic members 4 are magnetically adsorbed to each other across the side wall of the fish tank body 1, they can move together with the partition plate 2 and can ensure that the partition plate 2 is positioned and held at the target position after the partition plate 2 stops moving.

[0029] Meanwhile, a plurality of water permeable holes 24 may be provided on the partition plate 2 to ensure the communication of each area and also facilitate the movement of the partition plate 2 in water. It is convenient to quickly divide the water body and can meet the requirements for designing repeated experiments.

[0030] Specifically, at least one of the first magnetic member 3 and the second magnetic member 4 may be a magnet to ensure that the two are magnetically adsorbed to each other.

[0031] In this embodiment, take the first magnetic member 3 as an iron sheet and the second magnetic sheet as a magnet as an example.

[0032] And a card hole 25 may be respectively provided in the middle of the front and rear edges 21 and 22 of the partition plate 2. The first magnetic member 3 includes a clamping portion 31 and two magnetic attracting portions 32. The clamping portion 31 can be inserted and clamped in the card hole 25, and the magnetic attracting portions 32 are respectively connected to the left and right ends of the clamping portion 31 and are abutted against the inner wall of the fish tank body 1; thus, the first magnetic member 3 is a metal iron sheet. After being closely attached to the inner wall of the fish tank body 1, the magnet of the second magnetic member 4 on the outer wall of the fish tank body 1 can firmly adsorb to the first magnetic member 3 across the fish tank, and at the same time, the positioning and fixing of the partition plate 2 are realized.

[0033] To further improve the fixing effect of the partition plate 2 in the fish tank body 1 and prevent the partition plate 2 from accidentally shifting, a clamping member 5 for fixing the partition plate 2 is also provided in this embodiment.

[0034] Specifically, the partition plate 2 may be perpendicular to the front and rear inner walls 11 and 12 of the fish tank body 1, and the top of the partition plate 2 is flush with the top of the fish tank body 1, and the clamping member 5 is provided at at least one of the front end and the rear end of the top of the partition plate 2; preferably, the clamping members 5 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the top of the partition plate 2, and the fixing effect is the best.

[0035] The bottom of the clamping member 5 may have a T-shaped slot 51, which can be used to accommodate the top edge of the partition 2 and the top edge of the fish tank body 1. Once the clamping member 5 is installed, the top of the partition 2 and the top edge of the fish tank body 1 are fixed in place, preventing the partition 2 from moving and ensuring its accurate position. To adjust the partition 2, pull the clamping member 5 upward to release the fixed position of the partition 2.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, a heating base 6 may be further provided at the bottom of the fish tank body 1. The heating base 6 may be constructed using existing technology to heat and maintain the temperature of the water in the fish tank body 1, thereby facilitating the study of the effects of different temperatures on the growth and development of fish.

[0037] Another example Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment may further include a shading device 7.

[0038] The shading device 7 includes a shading top cover 71 and a shading side enclosure 72 ; the shading top cover 71 is provided to cover and shield the top opening of the fish tank body 1 ; the shading side enclosure 72 is provided to shield the outer peripheral wall of the fish tank body 1 .

[0039] The shading device 7 is provided to simulate the light-proof environment required for the growth of deep-sea fish such as eels, so as to conduct experimental research on such fish.

[0040] In this embodiment, the shading side panel 72 may be a retractable curtain, which may be similar to the structure of an automatic retractable sunshade curtain on a vehicle windshield.

[0041] Specifically, the telescopic curtain includes a winding body 721, a winding body bracket 722, a curtain 723, a first suction cup 724 and a second suction cup 725; the winding body 721 is rotatably mounted on one side of the winding body bracket 722, and a first suction cup 724 is provided on the other side of the winding body bracket 722. The inner end of the curtain 723 is fixed on the winding body 721, and the curtain 723 can be wound around the winding body 721 for winding and unwinding. A second suction cup 725 is provided on the outer end of the curtain 723. The length of the curtain 723 is not less than the circumference of the fish tank body 1, and the width of the curtain 723 is not less than the height of the fish tank body 1.

[0042] Thus, during use, the first suction cup 724 of the winding body bracket 722 can be first adsorbed and fixed on the left side of the outer wall of the front side of the fish tank body 1, and then the baffle curtain 723 is pulled out from the winding body 721, so that the baffle curtain 723 surrounds the outer periphery of the fish tank body 1 for one circle. Finally, the second suction cup 725 at the outer end of the baffle curtain 723 is adsorbed and fixed on the front side of the outer wall of the left side wall of the fish tank body 1 beside the first suction cup 724, realizing the surrounding of the outer peripheral wall of the fish tank body 1, achieving a good light-shielding effect, with simple operation and convenient use. When conducting experiments without the need for light shielding, the winding body 721 can be used to automatically wind up the baffle curtain 723, saving space and being convenient for storage.

[0043] In this embodiment, there are two first suction cups 724 and two second suction cups 725 respectively.

[0044] Refer to Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the fish tank body 1 can be made of a transparent material, and the front outer wall of the fish tank body 1 is provided with scale indication lines 8 for the upper and lower heights and scale indication lines 9 for the left and right lengths. This is to facilitate the quick calculation of the volume of the areas separated by each partition 2, facilitating the implementation of the experiment.
