[0040] As Figure 1 shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention discloses an aquarium, which includes a tank body 10, a top cover 20, and a feeder 30. The tank body 10 is used to store water to provide a space for fish to move. The top cover 20 covers the top of the tank body 10. The feeder 30 is disposed in the top cover 20. The top cover 20 can be used to block or partially block the top of the tank body 10. The top cover 20 can be fixed on the edge of the tank body 10 by opening a slot or other common fixing methods. Combining Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the feeder 30 includes a storage bin 31, a housing 32, a driving member 33, and a moving block 34. The storage bin 31 is disposed above the housing 32 to store feed, and a cover 311 is provided on the storage bin 31. The housing 32 is disposed in the top cover 20, and the driving member 33 and the moving block 34 are respectively disposed inside the housing 32. A sliding portion 321 and a telescopic opening 322 opposite to the sliding portion 321 are provided in the housing 32. The moving block 34 is disposed on the sliding portion 321. The sliding portion 321 can be configured to have a chute or a slide rail structure to accommodate the movement of the moving block 34 therein, and the driving member 33 is connected to the moving block 34 to drive the moving block 34 to move along the sliding portion 321 to extend out or retract into the telescopic opening 322. Combining Figures 4 to 6, a quantitative bin 341 is formed through the upper and lower surfaces of the moving block 34. When the moving block 34 retracts into the telescopic opening 322, the top of the quantitative bin 341 is communicated with the discharging opening 312 at the bottom of the storage bin 31, and the bottom of the quantitative bin 341 is blocked, so that the feed in the storage bin 31 can fall into and be restricted in the quantitative bin 341. The volume of the quantitative bin 341 is fixed, and it can hold a fixed amount of feed each time; when the moving block 34 extends out of the telescopic opening 322, the quantitative bin 341 is exposed above the cylinder block 10, and at this time, the feed in the quantitative bin 341 will fall into the cylinder block 10.

[0041] Further, the top cover 20 includes an upper top cover 21 and a lower top cover 22 that are detachably connected. The lower top cover 22 is buckled on the glass edge of the cylinder block 10, the upper top cover 21 is closed on the lower top cover 22, and an accommodating cavity 23 is formed between the upper top cover 21 and the lower top cover 22, and the outer shell 32 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 23. Among them, the storage bin 31 can be arranged on the upper top cover 21 and can be an integrally formed structure with the upper top cover 21; the bottom of the storage bin 31 abuts against the top of the moving block 34. The outer shell 32 is fixed to the lower top cover 22, and the top of the outer shell 32 is closed by the upper top cover 21. Among them, the outer shell 32 is detachably connected to the lower top cover 22. The lower top cover 22 forms a notch at a position facing the moving block 34 to allow the moving block 34 to extend out from the notch to be exposed above the cylinder block 10. When the upper top cover 21 is closed on the lower top cover 22, the storage bin 3 in will be synchronously aligned with the quantitative bin 341. Alternatively, the storage bin 31 can be fixed on the outer shell 32, and the upper top cover 21 is provided with an avoidance opening, and the upper end of the storage bin 31 passes through the avoidance opening to be exposed outside the top cover 20.

[0042] The feeder 30 further includes a monitoring sensor 35 for monitoring the moving position of the moving block 34 and feeding it back to the driving member 33. The monitoring sensor 35 is arranged in the outer shell 32 and is electrically connected to the driving member 33, and the two are connected through a PCB control board to control the driving member 33 to stop driving the moving block 34 when the moving block 34 extends out of the telescopic opening 322. Among them, the driving member 33 is, for example, a motor. Further, the monitoring sensor 35 is a touch pressure sensor. One side of the moving block 34 close to the touch pressure sensor is a touch pressure surface 342. The end of the touch pressure surface 342 far from the telescopic opening 322 protrudes more than the end close to the telescopic opening 322. When the moving block 34 extends out of the telescopic opening 322, the end of the touch pressure surface 342 far from the telescopic opening 322 will trigger the touch pressure switch on the side of the touch pressure sensor facing the moving block 34; thus, it can be known whether the moving block 34 has extended to a predetermined position through the trigger signal of the touch pressure sensor, and then the driving member 33 is controlled to stop driving the moving block 34 through the PCB control board.

[0043] The sliding part 321 is a chute formed in the outer shell 32, and the moving block 34 is restricted in the chute. A rack 343 is fixed to one end of the moving block 34 away from the telescopic opening 322, and an output gear 331 is fixed to the output shaft of the driving member 33. The output gear 331 and the rack 343 mesh with each other to drive the moving block 34 to move along the chute, thereby extending or retracting the telescopic buckle 322; wherein, both the output gear 331 and the rack 343 are in the chute.

[0044] Combined Figure 7 with Figure 8 and, the feeder 30 further includes a rotating plate 36. The rotating plate 36 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the moving block 34 so that when the moving block 34 retracts into the telescopic opening 322, the rotating plate 36 abuts against and closes the bottom of the quantitative bin 341, and when the moving block 34 extends to the telescopic opening 322, the rotating plate 36 rotates and drops to open the bottom of the quantitative bin 341. Further, the rotating plate 36 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the moving block 34 through a rotating shaft 361. The axial direction of the rotating shaft 361 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the moving block 34, and the rotating shaft 361 is connected to one end of the rotating plate 36 away from the telescopic opening 322; therefore, when the rotating plate 36 fits against the moving block 34, it can block the bottom of the quantitative bin 341 to prevent the feed from falling out; when the moving block 34 retracts into the telescopic opening 322, the rotating plate 36 collides with the telescopic opening 322 and is folded, and after being retracted into the outer shell 32, it is abutted by the bottom of the chute and remains in the folded state, thus blocking the bottom of the quantitative bin 341; when the moving block 34 is driven to extend out of the telescopic opening 322, the rotating plate 36 disengages from the chute and rotates and unfolds under its own gravity, and the bottom of the quantitative bin 341 is exposed so that the feed therein drops into the cylinder body 10; while the moving block 34 extends out of the telescopic opening 322, the top of the moving block 34 closes the feeding port 312 of the storage bin 31 to prevent the feed from continuing to drop.

[0045] A cover plate 344 is provided at the outer end of the moving block 34 for blocking the telescopic opening 322 when the moving block 34 retracts into the telescopic opening 322 to prevent water vapor from entering the outer shell 32 and making the feed in the quantitative bin 341 damp. A sealing ring 3441 surrounding the moving block 34 is provided on the side of the cover plate 344 facing the telescopic opening 322 for the sealing ring 3441 to abut against the telescopic opening 322 to block the telescopic opening 322 when the moving block 34 retracts into the telescopic opening 322, so as to further improve the moisture-proof performance. For example, the sealing ring 3441 is a rubber ring.

[0046] In some other embodiments, the top cover 20 can also be an integral non-detachable unit. An exposed installation groove is formed on the top surface of the top cover 20, and the whole feeder 30 is clamped in the installation groove of the top cover 20.

[0047] In the fish tank disclosed in the preferred embodiment of the present utility model, a feeder 30 including a storage bin 31, a housing 32, a driving member 33, and a moving block 34 is provided on the top cover 20. The driving member 33 and the moving block 34 are arranged inside the housing 32, the storage bin 31 is arranged above the housing 32, and the housing 32 is arranged in the top cover 20, so that the feeder 30 is integrated with the top cover 20 of the fish tank, improving the convenience of use of the overall structure. Moreover, the top cover 20 of the fish tank can also seal the top of the fish tank, thereby preventing the water splash in the fish tank from splashing out.
