A cooling fan 17 is installed on one side of the cooling chamber on the cabinet 1. The cooling fan 17 faces the cooling pipe 15 and can blow wind directly to the cooling pipe. A second water pump 18 is provided in the water preparation chamber 12, and the second water pump 18 is connected to the water inlet pipe 8. The upper end of the water inlet pipe 8 is vertically connected to the water supply pipe 19. Both ends of the water supply pipe 19 pass through the second partition 4, and the passing end is vertically connected to the water outlet pipe 20. The water supply pipe 19 is sealed with the two second partitions 4, and the water outlet pipe 20 passes through the first partition and extends to the front side of the cylinder body 2; a first temperature sensor 21 is provided in the heating chamber 10, a second temperature sensor 22 is provided in the water preparation chamber 12, and a third temperature sensor 32 is provided in the cylinder body 2. The sealed connection described in this embodiment can be achieved by applying sealant at the connection between the components to achieve sealing.

[0022] The filter described in this embodiment is prior art and can be used in conjunction with the filter described in the patented patent number CN201720285140.7, entitled "An Improved Fish Tank Filter," which is installed within the cabinet of this embodiment to achieve the filtering function. Therefore, this embodiment does not further describe the specific structure and operating principle of the filter.

[0023] In addition, an oxygen pump needs to be provided in the cylinder 2 to transport oxygen into the cylinder.

[0024] In this embodiment, the water pipe 16 is connected to a first valve 27, and the water inlet pipe 8 is connected to a second valve 28, both of which are electrically connected to the controller 26. The first valve 27 can control the opening and closing of the water pipe, and the second valve 28 can control the opening and closing of the water inlet pipe 8.

[0025] In this embodiment, a temperature control chamber 24 is provided on one side of the cabinet 1. A cover plate is attached to the temperature control chamber 24, and a touch screen display 25 is mounted on the cover plate. The temperature control chamber 24 houses a controller 26, a first temperature control switch, and a second temperature control switch. The first temperature control switch controls the operation of the electric heating pipe 23, while the second temperature control switch controls the operation of the cooling fan 17. The first water pump 14, the second water pump 18, the electric heating pipe 23, the cooling fan 17, the first temperature sensor 21, the second temperature sensor 22, the third temperature sensor 32, the touch screen display 25, the first temperature control switch, the second temperature control switch, the first valve 27, and the second valve 28 are all electrically connected to the controller 26. The touch screen display 25 can be used to set thresholds for the water in the heating chamber 10, the water storage chamber 12, and the cylinder body 2, and can display the temperatures of the water in the heating chamber, the water storage chamber, and the cylinder body 2, respectively. The first temperature sensor 21 senses the temperature in the heating chamber 10, the second temperature sensor 22 senses the temperature in the water storage chamber 12, and the third temperature sensor 32 senses the temperature in the cylinder body 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, a maintenance door 29 is magnetically attracted on the front side of the cabinet 1. The components in the cabinet can be inspected through the maintenance door 29.

[0027] The working principle of this embodiment is:

[0028] The water in the cylinder body 2 enters the drainage chamber 5 through the water holes 4 on the first partition 3, and enters the filter 13 through the drainage pipe 7. The filtered water enters the heating chamber 10. When the third temperature sensor 32 senses that the temperature in the cylinder body 2 reaches or falls below the lower threshold, the first temperature control switch opens and the second temperature control switch closes. At this time, the electric heating tube 23 works, while the cooling fan 17 does not work until the temperature in the heating chamber 10 reaches the set value. Then, the first valve 27 is opened, and water of the appropriate temperature is sent to the reserve water chamber 12 through the first water pump 14. The second temperature sensor 22 in the reserve water chamber 12 senses the water temperature again. When the water temperature is determined to have reached the set value, the second valve 28 is opened, and the water of the appropriate temperature is sent back to the cylinder body 2 through the second water pump 18, achieving precise control of the water temperature.

[0029] If the first temperature sensor 21 senses that the water temperature in the heating chamber 10 is too high, the first temperature control switch is closed, the electric heating tube 23 stops working, the second temperature control switch is opened, the cooling fan 17 starts working, and then the second valve 28 is closed, the first valve 27 is opened, and the water in the heating chamber 10 enters the cooling pipe 15. The cooling fan 17 blows air to the cooling pipe 15 to cool the water in the cooling pipe 15 and enters the reserve water chamber 12. Then, it is naturally cooled in the reserve water chamber 12 until it cools to the required temperature. Then the second valve 28 is opened, and the second water pump 18 pumps the water in the reserve water chamber into the cylinder body 2.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Based on Example 1, the gaps between the heating chamber 10 and the cooling chamber and the water reserve chamber are filled with a heat insulating layer 30. Due to the provision of the heat insulating layer 30, when the electric heating pipe 23 heats the water in the heating chamber 10, it will not affect the water in the water reserve chamber 12 and the cooling pipe 15.

[0032] It should be noted that the terms "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprises a ..." does not preclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0033] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
