[0024] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely descriptive and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] It should be noted that similar labels in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it may not be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0026] This embodiment mainly describes a desktop ultra-thin overflow pipeless aquarium, as detailed below:

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a desktop ultra-thin overflow pipeless aquarium includes a base plate 11 and four transparent upright plates 12 fixed to the four side walls of the base plate 11. The base plate 11 and the four upright plates 12 together form an aquarium body 1 with an open top. The aquarium body 1 has a horizontal partition 13 inside, which divides the aquarium body 1 into upper and lower layers. The upper layer is the main tank 14, and the lower layer is the bottom filter tank 15. The main tank 14 has a vertical partition 141 on one side, which divides the main tank 14 into a fish-raising area 142 and a water guiding area 143. The fish-raising area 142 is used for raising fish or other aquatic plants. The aquarium includes a water guiding zone 143, which guides water from the aquarium into the bottom filter tank 15. The water guiding zone 143 is divided into an overflow zone 1432 and a drain zone 1433 by a water guide plate 1431. The bottom of the overflow zone 1432 is connected to the fish tank 142, allowing water from the fish tank 142 to flow into the overflow zone 1432 from the bottom. The top surface of the water guide plate 1431 is lower than the top surface of the vertical partition 141, creating a top overflow outlet 1434 connecting the top of the overflow zone 1432 and the drain zone 1433. The drain zone 1433 has a drain outlet 1435 at its bottom. A U-shaped plate 6 is fixedly connected to the upright on the inner wall of the vertical plate 12 on the side of the bottom filter tank 15 near the water guiding area 143. The U-shaped plate 6 and the vertical plate 12 together form a water outlet channel 2 that connects to the drain outlet 1435. When the water level in the fish farming area 142 is higher than the height of the water guiding plate 1431, the water level in the overflow area 1432 is also higher than the top of the water guiding plate 1431 and flows into the drain area 1433 from the top overflow outlet 1434. After passing through the drain outlet 1435, it enters the water outlet channel 2 and then flows into the bottom filter tank 15. The bottom filter tank 15 is equipped with a first vertical plate 7 that divides the bottom filter tank 15 into water... The system includes a pump zone 152 and a filter zone 151 with filtration function. The bottom of the filter zone 151 is connected to the bottom of the pump zone 152. The outlet end of the water outlet channel 2 is located inside the filter zone 151. The pump zone 152 is equipped with an inlet pipe 3, whose input end is connected to the water pump 9 and whose output end is connected to the bottom of the main tank 14. When water in the fish tank 142 enters the filter zone 151 through the outlet channel 2, the clean water filtered by the filter zone 151 flows from the bottom of the filter zone 151 into the pump zone 152. Under the power of the water pump 9, the water is transported from the upper pipe to the bottom of the fish tank, and the cycle continues. When the water level in the fish tank 142 is lower than the water level of the guide plate 1431, the upper pipe 3 continues to transport clean water from the bottom filter tank 15 to the fish tank 142, so that the water level in the fish tank 142 is higher than the water guide plate 1431. At this time, the water in the fish tank continues to flow into the bottom filter tank 15 for filtration, and the cycle continues. This system eliminates the need for frequent water changes in the aquarium. As long as there is water in the bottom filter tank 15, the water filtration in the main tank 14 and the bottom filter tank 15 will continue. At the same time, the main tank 14 can always have water. During use, the water that evaporates is from the bottom filter tank 15. Users do not need to worry about water changes or water shortages when they go on a long trip.To enhance the aesthetics of the fish tank, the bottom plate 11, upright plate 12, horizontal partition 13, vertical partition 141, first vertical plate 7, U-shaped plate 6, etc., are all made of transparent materials, preferably transparent glass.

[0028] The main tank 14 and bottom filter tank 15 of this utility model are fixed and sealed together by a base plate 11, four vertical plates 12 and a horizontal partition 13, realizing an integrated structure of the tank body. All materials are transparent, with a clean and beautiful appearance, making it easy to view. At the same time, the main tank 14 is divided into a water guiding area 143 by a vertical partition 141. The water guiding area 143 is further divided into a drainage area 1433 and an overflow area 1432 that flows to the bottom of the fish raising area 142 by a water guiding plate 1431. A drain outlet 1435 is provided in the drainage area 1433. The bottom filter tank 15 is provided with a drainage channel that communicates with the drain outlet 1435. The drainage channel and the drainage area 1433 enable the water in the fish raising area 142 to be transported to the bottom filter tank 15, truly realizing drainage without the need for pipe fittings, further beautifying the appearance of the fish tank.

[0029] Specifically, the width of the water guiding zone 143 is smaller than the width of the fish raising zone 142. Preferably, the water flow rate of the water guiding zone 143 is exactly the same as the water flow rate of the water inlet pipe 3. This design makes the space of the fish raising zone larger and can further beautify the appearance of the fish tank.

[0030] Specifically, there are two water guide plates 1431. The water guide plates 1431 are made of transparent material, preferably transparent glass. The two water guide plates 1431 are perpendicular to the vertical partition 141, dividing the backflow area 1511 into three areas. The middle area is the drainage area 1433, and the front and rear sides of the drainage area 1433 are overflow areas 1432. The lower side of the vertical partition 141 is provided with overflow areas 1432 and 1432 respectively. The fish comb 1411 is connected to the vertical partition 141. The lower end of the vertical partition 141 is provided with an outlet 1412 that is connected to the front overflow area 1432 and the rear overflow area 1432 respectively. The fish farming area 142 is connected to the overflow area 1432 through the fish comb 1411 and the outlet 1412. The water in the fish farming area 142 flows into the overflow area 1432 from the two fish combs 1411 and the two outlets 1412. The top surfaces of both water guide plates 1431 are lower than the top surface of the vertical partition 141, so that the top of the front overflow area 1432 and the top of the drainage area 1433, and the top of the rear overflow area 1432 and the drainage area 1433, form a connected top overflow port 1434. The water in the front overflow area 1432 and the rear overflow area 1432 flows into the drainage area 1433 from their respective top overflow ports 1434. In the above, the fish comb 1411 is used to isolate fish or aquatic organisms to prevent them from entering the outflow area. The outlet 1412 is set to be small so that fish or other aquatic organisms cannot pass through.

[0031] Specifically, a water inlet 1211 is provided on the horizontal partition 13 on the side of the fish-raising area 142 away from the water outlet 1412. The upper end of the water supply pipe 3 is connected to the water inlet 1211. The distance from the water inlet 1211 to the two water outlets 1412 is equal. When clean water in the water pump area 152 enters the fish-raising area 142 from the water inlet 1211, the impact force of the water flow will flush the fish waste residue at the bottom of the fish-raising area 142 to one side of the water inlet 1211 and to the water outlet 1412. The water then enters the overflow area 1432 from the water outlet 1412 and finally enters the filtration area 151 for filtration. The setting of the fish tank water inlet 1211 and the water outlet 1412 enables the fish-raising area 142 to automatically clean fish waste and residue, eliminating the need for manual cleaning or reducing the frequency of manual cleaning.

[0032] Specifically, the filter zone 151 is provided with a second vertical plate 8, which is made of transparent material, preferably transparent glass. The second vertical plate divides the filter zone 151 into a trickle filter zone 1512 and a backflow zone 1511. The trickle filter zone 1512 is provided with a trickle filter media box 15121. The outlet end of the water outlet channel 2 is located in the backflow zone 1511. In order to reduce the noise when the water flows, the outlet end of the water outlet channel 2 is located below the water surface in the backflow zone. The top of the backflow zone 1511 has a water inlet 153 that communicates with the top of the trickle filter zone 1512, so that the water in the backflow zone 1511 can overflow the water inlet 153 and enter the trickle filter zone 1512 for filtration. The bottom of the trickle filter zone 1512 has a bottom overflow port 154, so that the water in the trickle filter zone 1512 flows into the water pump zone 152 from the bottom overflow port 154. The backflow zone 1511 serves to settle fish waste and residue. When water flows out from the outlet channel 2, it first passes through the backflow zone 1511 for sedimentation. The settled water then enters the trickle filter zone 1512 through the water outlet 153 for filtration, thereby reducing the filtration burden on the trickle filter zone 1512 and improving the filtration effect.

[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a guide plate 15122 is fixedly installed in the trickle filtration zone 1512. The guide plate 15122 has several guide holes 15123 for dispersing water flow. The trickle filter media box 15121 is located below the guide plate 15122. The water outlet 153 is located at a height higher than the installation height of the guide plate 15122. The guide plate 15122 and the guide holes 15123 are used to disperse the water flowing from the water outlet 153 to the guide plate 15122 in all directions and then drip down through the trickle filter media box 15121. To improve the filtration effect, filter cotton is usually placed on the guide plate 15122 or on the top layer of the trickle filter media box 15121. The setting of the trickle filter media box 15121 can effectively remove impurities and harmful substances in the water. At the same time, the water comes into contact with air during each layer of trickle, increasing the dissolved oxygen content of the water, which is conducive to the health of fish.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to facilitate the installation and replacement of the trickling filter media box 15121 and to ensure that the water can fully contact oxygen during trickling filtration, an operation port 5 communicating with the bottom filter cylinder 15 is provided on the vertical plate 12 located on the front or rear side of the bottom plate 11. The operation port 5 is located on the upper side of the bottom filter cylinder 15. The setting of the operation port 5 ensures that the water can fully contact oxygen when it passes through the trickling filter media box 15121 for filtration.

[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, to prevent water in the fish-raising area from flowing back into the water pump area, a check valve 10 is installed on the water inlet pipe 3 to prevent backflow in the fish-raising area. The water inlet pipe 3 includes a lower pipe body 31, an upper pipe body 32, and a three-way connector connecting the lower end of the upper pipe body 32 and the upper end of the lower pipe body 31. The lower end of the lower pipe body 31 is connected to the water pump 9. The upper end of the upper pipe body 32 is connected to the bottom of the fish-raising area 142 through the water inlet 1211. The third connector of the three-way connector is connected to a drain pipe 4 that is perpendicular to the water inlet pipe 3 and the drain pipe and extends out of the bottom filter tank 15. A drain valve 41 is installed on the drain pipe 4. The drain pipe 4 is designed to facilitate the discharge of sewage from the fish tank, preventing the water in the fish tank from increasing the content of toxic substances in the water after long-term use, which could affect the health of the fish or aquatic organisms. Preferably, the check valve 10 is installed on the lower pipe body 31, which can prevent water backflow in the fish farming area 142 and water backflow in the drain pipe 4. The installation structure of the check valve 10 is as follows: the lower pipe body 3 includes a first pipe body 31 and a second pipe body 32, and the check valve 4 is installed between the first pipe body 31 and the second pipe body 32 to connect the first pipe body 31 and the second pipe body 32.
