Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to a flip-top aquarium. [Background Technology]

[0002] Aquariums, such as fish tanks, typically consist of the tank body and a lid. Traditionally, the lid is simply placed on top of the tank, requiring the entire lid to be lifted for cleaning. For example, in patent number 200420093641.8, titled "Aquarium Fish Tank," the lid is entirely attached to the tank body. This method is inconvenient for cleaning, maintenance, and use. Most flip-top aquariums on the market are currently electric, using a motor to rotate the lid. Non-electric aquariums, however, rely solely on a hinge, making installation difficult. This paper proposes an improvement to the flip-top lid design for non-electric aquariums. [Utility Model Content]

Detailed Implementation Methods

[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a flip-top aquarium includes a tank body 1 with an opening at the top and an aquarium cover 2 that can be placed over the opening of the tank body 1. The tank body 1 is made of glass. A mounting base 3 is provided on the mounting base 3, and two swivel seats 4 are detachably mounted on the mounting base 3. The two swivel seats 4 are arranged opposite each other and are provided with a swivel 5. The aquarium cover 2 is connected through the swivel 5, and the aquarium cover 2 can drive the swivel 5 to rotate, or the aquarium cover 2 can rotate relative to the swivel 5.

[0023] To facilitate the automatic and slow closing of the aquarium cover 2, a damper 6 is inserted into the pivot seat 4. One end of the pivot 5 is rotatably inserted into the damper 6, causing damping when the pivot 5 rotates. The damper 6 can be an oil damper containing damping oil, and the pivot rotates slowly under the damping effect of the oil. Of course, the damper 6 can also be a damping sleeve, etc. The aquarium cover 2 is provided with a pivot insertion hole 21 that can drive the pivot 5 to rotate. In this embodiment, the aquarium cover 2 drives the pivot 5 to rotate. The pivot seat 4 has a damper cavity 41 with a side opening. The damper cavity 41 has a insertion groove 42. The insertion grooves 42 on the two pivot seats 4 are oriented to the side and are arranged opposite each other. The damper 6 has an insertion protrusion 61 that can be inserted into the insertion groove 42. The side opening of the insertion groove 42 facilitates the insertion of the insertion protrusion 61, which facilitates the installation and positioning of the damper 6. The end of the pivot 5 that extends out of the damper 6 is a flat rod. The pivot insertion hole 21 is a flat hole for the flat rod to be inserted. The flat rod and the flat hole are rectangular strips, but they can also be square holes, as long as the aquarium cover 2 can drive the pivot 5.

[0024] To facilitate the installation of the pivot seat 4, the mounting base 3 has two mounting slots 31 for inserting the two pivot seats 4 one by one. The pivot seat 4 is fixed in the mounting slot 31. The mounting slot 31 has an upward opening, and the pivot seat 4 is fixed in the mounting slot 31 with screws. After the damper 6 is inserted into the pivot seat 4, the pivot 5 is inserted into the pivot insertion hole 21 to realize the installation of the pivot seat 4 and the aquarium cover 2. Then, the pivot seat 4 is inserted downward into the mounting slot 31, and finally fixed with screws. The bottom of the mounting slot 31 has multiple screw holes for screws to pass through the pivot seat 4.

[0025] To facilitate the positioning of the aquarium cover 2, the pivot seat 4 is provided with a positioning protrusion 43 that positions the aquarium cover 2 when it is rotated downwards. The aquarium cover 2 is positioned against the positioning protrusion 43. When the aquarium cover 2 is positioned by the positioning protrusion 43, the aquarium cover 2 is separated from the opening edge of the tank body 1, forming a convection gap 10, so that the aquarium cover 2 will not close the opening of the tank body 1. The aquarium cover 2 is provided with a clearance groove 22 into which the pivot seat 4 extends. When the aquarium cover 2 is rotated downwards, one side wall of the clearance groove 22 rests against the positioning protrusion 43, facilitating installation and positioning.

[0026] To facilitate the installation of the mounting base 3, the mounting base 3 is provided with a clamping groove 33 that clamps onto the cylinder body 1. The clamping groove 33 clamps onto one side of the opening of the cylinder body 1. The clamping groove 33 has a U-shaped cross-section. The mounting base 3 is block-shaped and can be clamped onto one side of the cylinder body 1 without requiring the entire annular block to be installed. The mounting base 3 has a positioning pin 32 on the outside of the cylinder body 1 to lock the mounting base 3 onto the cylinder body 1. The mounting base 3 has two threaded holes that connect to the clamping groove 33. The positioning pin 32 is inserted into the threaded holes and presses against the side wall of the cylinder body 1 to achieve positioning. The structure is simple and the installation is convenient.
