Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aquaculture cleaning tools, and more specifically to a siphon-type impurity removal device. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the booming ornamental fish market, more and more people like to raise a variety of ornamental fish at home, and aquariums have become an integral part of daily life. Cleaning aquariums is a fundamental task in raising ornamental fish, and ensuring efficient aquarium cleaning and preventing re-contamination of the water during cleaning are issues of concern.
[0003] Using a siphon to remove fecal debris from an aquarium is a common method, known for its ease of use and high efficiency. Many types of siphons are currently available on the market, the most common of which is the single-valve, airbag-type siphon. This type of siphon uses a pinched airbag to expel air, creating a siphon, and a single valve to control the flow of water. However, the suction head of this type of siphon is typically large, making it unsuitable for cleaning small fish tanks. Furthermore, the airbag-type siphon is inefficient. Another common type of siphon is an electric debris aspirator. The motor of this type of aspirator is mounted near the cleaning head, making the device top-heavy and inconvenient to operate. Furthermore, electric debris aspirators are expensive to manufacture and generate a lot of noise during use, which can affect the fish in the water. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the defects of the existing technology, the utility model proposes a siphon-type impurity removal device, which uses a first valve and a second valve to pre-store water in a siphon tube, and when in use, the first valve is opened to allow water to flow out from the pipe mouth of the siphon tube to form a siphon. The operation is easy and no noise is generated.
[0005] To achieve this purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] The utility model provides a siphon type impurity removal device, comprising a cleaning head, a siphon tube, a first valve and a second valve. One end of the siphon tube is connected to the cleaning head. The first valve and the second valve are arranged on the siphon tube, and the second valve is located near the cleaning head.
[0007] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the siphon tube includes a first hard tube, a hose and a second hard tube, one end of the second hard tube is connected to the middle of the cleaning head, and the other end of the second hard tube is connected to one end of the first hard tube through the hose.
[0008] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, both the first rigid tube and the second rigid tube are provided with adsorption disks.
[0009] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the first valve is located on the first hard tube, and the second valve is located on the second hard tube.
[0010] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the second rigid tube is assembled by splicing two or more tube sections.
[0011] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, both the first valve and the second valve are manual valves.
[0012] In a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a long strip-shaped opening is provided on one side of the cleaning head along the length direction.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0014] 1. The utility model proposes a siphon type impurity removal device, which uses a first valve and a second valve to pre-store water in a siphon tube. When in use, the first valve is opened to allow water to flow out from the pipe mouth of the siphon tube to form a siphon. The operation is convenient and no noise is generated.
[0015] 2. A long strip opening is set on the cleaning head, which can suck out a large amount of impurities and has high suction efficiency.
[0016] 3. The second hard tube can be spliced together by a number of tube sections, so that the overall length of the siphon tube can be freely adjusted, making the device suitable for aquariums of different sizes.

[0022] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.
[0023] like Figure 1As shown, a siphon-type impurity removal device is provided in the embodiment, comprising a cleaning head 1, a siphon tube 2, a first valve 3 and a second valve 4. One end of the siphon tube 2 is connected to the cleaning head 1, and the first valve 3 and the second valve 4 are provided on the siphon tube 2, and the second valve 4 is located on the side close to the cleaning head 1. In this embodiment, the cleaning head 1 is preferably a cylindrical structure. The length of the siphon tube 2 can be adjusted to suit aquariums of different sizes. The first valve 3 and the second valve 4 can both close the siphon tube 2, and when the first valve 3 and the second valve 4 are closed at the same time, a sealed space can be formed in the middle of the siphon tube 2 for storing water.
[0024] Specifically, the siphon tube 2 includes a first rigid tube 21, a flexible tube 22, and a second rigid tube 23. One end of the second rigid tube 23 is connected to the middle of the cleaning head 1, and the other end of the second rigid tube 23 is connected to one end of the first rigid tube 21 via the flexible tube 22. In this embodiment, the first rigid tube 21 and the second rigid tube 23 are both straight tubes, and the second rigid tube 23 is arranged perpendicular to the cleaning head 1. The first rigid tube 21, the flexible tube 22, and the second rigid tube 23 are all circular tubes with an inner diameter of 8 mm and an outer diameter of 10 mm. The length of the first rigid tube 21 is 20 cm, and the length of the flexible tube 22 is 30 cm.
[0025] Specifically, a suction plate 5 is provided on each of the first rigid tube 21 and the second rigid tube 23. In this embodiment, the suction plate 5 is buckled onto the first rigid tube 21 and the second rigid tube 23, and the position of the suction plate 5 can be adjusted at the free end. The suction plate 5 can be fixed by suction to the outer wall of the aquarium, thereby saving space.
[0026] Specifically, the first valve 3 is located on the first rigid tube 21, and the second valve 4 is located on the second rigid tube 23. In this embodiment, the first valve 3 is installed at the end of the first rigid tube 21 near the hose 22, and the second valve 4 is installed at the end of the second rigid tube 23 near the hose 22, so that water is stored in the hose 22.
[0027] Specifically, the second rigid tube 23 is assembled by splicing two or more pipe segments. In this embodiment, the length of the pipe segment is 20 cm, and the length of the second rigid tube 23 can be adjusted by controlling the number of pipe segments, thereby changing the overall length of the siphon tube 2.
[0028] Specifically, the first valve 3 and the second valve 4 are both manual valves. In this embodiment, manual valves are used, which are easy to operate and do not generate noise pollution during use.
[0029] Specifically, a strip-shaped opening 11 is provided along the length of one side of the cleaning head 1. In this embodiment, the width of the opening 11 is 0.5 cm, and the length of the opening 11 is consistent with the length of the cleaning head 1. Impurities in the aquarium are sucked out of the aquarium through the opening 11.
[0030] Working principle: When the device is used for the first time, first open the first valve 3 and close the second valve 4. Then, add water into the siphon tube 2 from the open end of the first hard tube 21 until the water exceeds the first valve 3. Then close the first valve 3 and the water will be stored in the hose 22.
[0031] During use, the cleaning head 1 is placed at the bottom of the aquarium, and the hose 22 is bent so that the open end of the first hard tube 21 faces downward. The second valve 4 and the first valve 3 are then opened in sequence, and water is ensured to flow down the first hard tube 21, forming a siphon to suck out impurities such as feces in the aquarium. After use, the first valve 3 is closed first, and then the second valve 4 is closed, and the water is stored in the hose 22 again for the next use.
[0032] The present invention is described through preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes or equivalent substitutions may be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and other embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
