Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a fish tank and belongs to the technical field of fish farming equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Fish tanks are generally used for raising ornamental fish in homes. To ensure the cleanliness of the water in a fish tank, frequent water changes are necessary. Using a circulating water pump for water changes is costly. Traditional and low-cost methods include using a pipe to siphon water from above or removing the fish before changing the water. These methods are cumbersome and can easily cause stress to the fish, leading to their death if not handled properly. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a fish tank that facilitates water changes.

[0004] To achieve this objective, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is:

[0005] A fish tank includes a tank body with a drain faucet at the bottom of the outer wall of the tank body, the drain faucet communicating with the inner cavity of the tank body. A partition with several filter holes is located inside the tank body, at the bottom of the inner cavity. Items and fish within the tank body are placed on the partition. The size of the filter holes is smaller than the size of the items and fish placed inside the tank body. Hanging plates are located at both ends of the partition, with the top of the hanging plates bent to form hooks. When a water change is needed, the hanging plates are moved upwards, causing the partition and the items and fish on it to move upwards simultaneously. The hooks then hook onto the top of the side wall of the tank body, suspending the partition inside the tank body. The drain faucet is located below the partition, and opening the drain faucet discharges wastewater while simultaneously allowing fresh water to flow into the top of the tank body. The water change is completed after a period of time.

[0006] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: the bottoms of the two wall panels are respectively hinged to the two ends of the partition. During the production turnover process and the transportation process after production is completed, the wall panels are rotated to be placed horizontally on the partition, and the wall panels and the partition are in a folded state.

[0007] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: each of the four sides of the partition is provided with an upwardly protruding baffle, and each of the inner sides of the two opposing baffles is provided with a mounting block. The mounting block includes two hinge base plates, each hinge base plate is provided with a hinge groove, and the two sides of the opening of the hinge groove converge inward. Each of the two bottom ends of the two wall panels is provided with a connecting side plate, and each of the opposite sides of the two connecting side plates is provided with a hinge shaft. The hinge shaft is inserted into the hinge groove, so that the bottom of the two wall panels is respectively hinged to the two ends of the partition.

[0008] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: the mounting block also includes several positioning plates located between the two hinged seat plates. The top of the positioning plate is provided with a positioning notch, and the bottom of the two wall-mounted plates is also provided with a snap-in plate. The snap-in plate is located between the two connecting side plates. When the wall-mounted plate is rotated to the longitudinal setting, it is in use. At this time, the bottom of the snap-in plate is snapped into the positioning notch.

[0009] As a further optimization of the above technical solution: the cylinder body is provided with a top cover, the top cover has several vent holes, the bottom of the top cover has an insertion groove, the inner wall of the insertion groove is a guide slope, the top of the cylinder body has an insertion flange, the insertion flange is inserted into the insertion groove, and the cylinder body is made of transparent material.

[0010] Compared to existing technologies, this invention features a partition. Rocks, aquatic plants, and fish within the tank are all housed on this partition. When a water change is needed, the hanging panel is moved upwards, causing the partition and its contents to rise simultaneously. The hooks then attach to the side wall of the tank, suspending the partition within the tank. At this point, the drain faucet is located below the partition. Opening the drain faucet releases wastewater, while fresh water flows into the top of the tank. The water change is completed after a short time. The partition prevents the contents and fish from being expelled by the drain faucet, eliminating the need for a siphon. There's no need to remove the fish and change the water; water changing is simple and convenient, reducing the impact and stimulation on the fish, while also being low-cost and fast. The wall panel is hinged to the partition. During production and transportation, the wall panel rotates to a horizontal position on the partition, with the wall panel and partition folded to reduce space usage, facilitating turnover and transportation, and preventing the wall panel from bending or breaking due to compression. The fit between the insert flange and the insert groove on the top cover helps to shape the tank, preventing deformation and bulging after water is filled. Attached Figure Description

[0014] Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional structural diagram of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. For example... Figure 1-4 As shown, a fish tank includes a tank body 1. A drain faucet 2 is located at the bottom of the outer wall of the tank body 1, and the drain faucet 2 communicates with the inner cavity of the tank body 1. A partition 3 is also provided inside the tank body 1, with several filter holes 31 formed on the partition 3. The partition 3 is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the tank body 1, and items such as rocks, aquatic plants, and fish inside the tank body 1 are placed on the partition 3. The size of the filter holes 31 is smaller than the size of the items and fish placed inside the tank body 1. Both ends of the partition 3 are provided with wall-mounting plates 4, the tops of which are bent to form hooks 44. When water needs to be changed, the wall-mounting plates 4 are moved upwards, causing the partition 3 to move upwards simultaneously with the items and fish on it. The hooks 44 hook onto the top of the side wall of the tank body 1, suspending the partition 3 inside the tank body 1. At this time, the drain faucet 2 is located below the partition 3. Figure 2 As shown; open the drain faucet 2 to drain the wastewater, while fresh water flows into the top of the tank 1. After a period of time, the water change is completed, ensuring that the fish remain in the water throughout the process, minimizing disturbance to them. The partition 3 prevents items and fish placed in the tank 1 from being discharged through the drain faucet 2. There is no need to use a pipe for siphoning or to remove the fish before changing the water, making water changing simple and convenient, reducing the impact and stimulation on the fish, while also being low-cost and fast.

[0016] In the above technical solution: the bottoms of the two wall panels 4 are respectively hinged to both ends of the partition 3. Each of the four sides of the partition 3 has an upwardly protruding baffle 32, which shields items placed on the partition 3. The inner sides of the two opposing baffles 32 are each provided with a mounting block 5, which includes two hinge base plates 51. The hinge base plates 51 have hinge grooves 52, with the two sides of the groove openings of the hinge grooves 52 converging inwards. Both ends of the bottom of the two wall panels 4 have connecting side plates 41, and the opposite sides of the two connecting side plates 41 have hinge shafts 42. The hinge shafts 42 engage with the hinge grooves 52, so that the bottoms of the two wall panels 4 are respectively hinged to both ends of the partition 3. During the production turnover process and the transportation process after production is completed, the wall panel 4 is rotated to be placed horizontally (the horizontal placement here is not the same as the horizontal placement; the wall panel 4 can be placed horizontally at an angle or horizontally) on the partition 3. The wall panel 4 and the partition 3 are in a folded state, which reduces the space occupied, facilitates turnover and transportation, and prevents the wall panel 4 from being squeezed and bent or broken.

[0017] In the above technical solution: the mounting block 5 also includes several positioning plates 53 located between the two hinged base plates 51, and the top of the positioning plate 53 is provided with a positioning notch 54. The bottom of the two wall-mounted plates 4 is also provided with a snap-fit ​​plate 43, which is located between the two connecting side plates 41. When the wall-mounted plate 4 is rotated to the longitudinal setting (the longitudinal setting here is not the same as vertical placement; the wall-mounted plate 4 can be longitudinally inclined or vertically placed), it is in the use state. At this time, the bottom of the snap-fit ​​plate 43 is snapped into the positioning notch 54 to prevent the wall-mounted plate 4 from automatically rotating and folding relative to the partition 3, so that the wall-mounted plate 4 can remain in a vertical state during use, making it convenient to move the wall-mounted plate 4 up when changing water.

[0018] In the above technical solution: the cylinder block 1 is provided with a top cover 6, and the top cover 6 has several vent holes 63. For example... Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the top cover 6 has an insertion groove 61, and the inner wall of the insertion groove 61 is a guide slope 62. The top of the tank body 1 has an insertion flange 11, which is inserted into the insertion groove 61. The guide slope 62 guides this process. The fit between the insertion flange and the insertion groove 61 helps to shape the tank body 1, preventing it from deforming and bulging after water is added. Moving the top cover 6 upwards separates it from the tank body 1. The tank body 1 is made of transparent material, so covering it with the top cover 6 does not obstruct the view of the fish inside.

[0019] This invention includes a partition 3. Stones, aquatic plants, and fish within the tank 1 are all positioned on the partition 3. When a water change is needed, the hanging plate 4 is moved upwards, causing the partition 3 and the items and fish on it to move upwards simultaneously. The hook 44 hooks onto the side wall of the tank 1, suspending the partition 3 within the tank 1. At this time, the drain faucet 2 is located below the partition 3. Opening the drain faucet 2 drains wastewater, while fresh water flows into the top of the tank 1. The water change is completed after a period of time. The partition 3 prevents the items and fish placed in the tank 1 from being discharged by the drain faucet 2, eliminating the need for siphoning. There is no need to remove the fish and change the water, making water changing simple and convenient, reducing the impact and stimulation on the fish, while also being low-cost and fast; the wall panel 4 is hinged to the partition 3. During the production turnover and transportation after production, the wall panel 4 is rotated to be placed horizontally on the partition 3, and the wall panel 4 and the partition 3 are in a folded state, reducing the space occupied, facilitating turnover and transportation, and preventing the wall panel 4 from bending and breaking due to compression; the cooperation between the insertion flange and the insertion groove 61 on the top cover 6 plays a role in shaping the cylinder body 1, preventing the cylinder body 1 from deforming and bulging after being filled with water.

[0020] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
