Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to pet feeding equipment, and more particularly to a multifunctional split-type feeding tank. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards improve, the ornamental keeping of aquatic animals such as fish and reptiles such as lizards is becoming increasingly popular, leading to a wide variety of tank types and styles for raising these creatures. However, currently, when keeping these aquatic animals, due to the living habits of fish, the tank must be sealed and able to hold water, with a depth sufficient to meet their needs. Conversely, due to the living habits of reptiles such as lizards, the tank does not need to be sealed, but it must be deep enough, with a lid to prevent the reptiles from jumping out. A side door is also necessary to address the difficulty of accessing water or food in a deep tank. Therefore, aquariums used for raising fish and other aquatic animals, as well as reptiles such as lizards, are generally not interchangeable and need to be purchased separately. This is very inconvenient for breeders who want to change their aquatic animals to reptiles or vice versa. If a universal aquarium is desired, it needs to be not only deep enough to raise reptiles, but also large enough to hold water for aquatic animals. This requires breeders to purchase pre-sealed aquariums, which are bulky, difficult to store, and inconvenient to transport. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate exemplary embodiments of the invention. In the drawings, the same reference numerals denote the same or similar components or elements.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, a multifunctional split-type breeding tank includes a bottom tank 1 capable of holding water. An upper tank 2 is detachably connected to the upper side of the bottom tank 1 via a lower connecting device. The upper tank 2 communicates with the bottom tank 1, meaning the upper tank 2 has no bottom. The upper tank 2 is formed by several side plates 3, and the bottom ends of each side plate 3 are detachably connected to the lower connecting device. The bottom tank 1 can be polygonal, with each side plate 3 corresponding to a side wall of the bottom tank 1, and the top ends of each side plate 3 detachably connected together via the upper connecting device. The bottom tank 1 can be quadrilateral, pentagonal, or hexagonal. This invention preferably uses a quadrilateral shape, so the bottom tank 1 has four side walls, meaning the upper tank 2 also consists of four side plates 3.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lower connecting device includes a lower horizontal bar 4 respectively provided at the top of the side wall of each bottom cylinder 1. The bottom and top of the lower horizontal bar 4 are respectively provided with slots 5 for inserting and clamping the top of the side wall of the bottom cylinder 1 and the bottom of the side plate 3. A lower connecting corner piece 6 is detachably connected between the ends of two adjacent lower horizontal bars 4. The top and bottom of the lower connecting corner piece 6 are respectively provided with slots 7 that connect to the slots 5 on the adjacent lower horizontal bars 4.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper connecting device includes upper horizontal bars 8 respectively provided at the top of each side plate 3. The bottom of the upper horizontal bar 8 is provided with a slot 5 for inserting and locking the top of the side plate 3. An upper connecting corner piece 9 is detachably connected between the ends of two adjacent upper horizontal bars 8. The bottom of the upper connecting corner piece 9 is provided with a slot 7 that connects to the slot 5 on the adjacent upper horizontal bar 8.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the lower horizontal bar 4 and the lower connecting corner piece 6, and the upper horizontal bar 8 and the upper connecting corner piece 9 are detachably connected together by bolts 10. In this way, the lower horizontal bar 4 and the lower connecting corner piece 6, and the upper horizontal bar 8 and the upper connecting corner piece 9 are detachably fixed together, which serves to fasten the side plate 3 of the upper cylinder body 2. Each corner piece can adopt an integral structure or a split structure, that is, each end of the lower horizontal bar 4 and the upper horizontal bar 8 is connected to a part of the corner piece, and then the two corner pieces located between two adjacent lower horizontal bars 4 or between two adjacent upper horizontal bars 8 are detachably fixed together by bolts 10, which facilitates the assembly of each horizontal bar and corner piece.

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the bottom slot 5 of the upper horizontal bar 8 at the top of one of the side plates 3 and the top slot 5 of the lower horizontal bar 4 at the bottom are L-shaped slots. The top and bottom of one side of the side plate 3 are rotatably connected to the corresponding upper connecting corner piece 9 and lower connecting corner piece 6 via rotating seats 11. A pivot can be vertically set on the rotating seat 11, and the rotating seat 11 can be fixed to the side plate 3 first and then inserted into the pivot holes on the upper connecting corner piece 9 and lower connecting corner piece 6. Alternatively, the rotating seat 11 can be rotatably installed on the upper connecting corner piece 9 and lower connecting corner piece 6 respectively, and the side plate 3 is connected to the two rotating seats 11. A latch is provided between the other side of the side plate 3 and the upper connecting corner piece 9 or lower connecting corner piece 6. In this way, the side plate 3 also serves as the side door of the upper tank body 2 and the entire breeding tank. The bottom slot 5 of the upper horizontal bar 8 at the top of the side plate 3 and the top slot 5 of the lower horizontal bar 4 at the bottom are L-shaped slots, which facilitates the closing of the side plate 3 and the locking with the latch to position and lock the side plate 3. The lock includes a lock box 12 fixedly installed at the bottom side of the side plate 3. The lock box 12 can be formed by two parts, an inner and an outer part, which are connected together. The inner part of the lock box is connected to the side plate 3. A lock block 14 that slides up and down is installed inside the lock box 12 via a track 13. The bottom end of the lock block 14 is provided with a lock tongue 15 that extends out of the sliding hole at the bottom of the lock box 12. The inner side of the bottom end of the lock tongue 15 is provided with a sliding surface 16. The top of the lower connecting corner piece is provided with a lock groove 17 that mates with the lock tongue 15. The top of the outer wall of the lock groove 17 is provided with an arc surface that mates with the sliding surface 16. The outer wall of the lock box 12 is provided with a sliding groove 18. The outer side of the lock block 14 is provided with a sliding handle 19 that extends out of the sliding groove 18. When closing, simply push the side plate 3 to swing it to the lock groove 17. The sliding surface 16 at the bottom of the latch 15 first contacts and slides with the arc surface at the top of the outer wall of the lock groove 17. The arc surface pushes the latch 15, causing the locking block 14 to slide upward under the constraint of the track 13. After the bottom of the latch 15 slides past the top of the outer wall of the lock groove 17, the locking block 14 and the latch 15 slide down by their own weight. The bottom of the latch 15 inserts into the lock groove 17 and locks in place, thus closing the side door. When opening, simply pull the slide handle 19 upward along the slide groove 18. The slide handle 19 causes the locking block 14 and the latch 15 to slide upward under the constraint of the track 13. After the bottom of the latch 15 slides past the top of the outer wall of the lock groove 17, pull the slide handle 19 outward to open the side door. Of course, other common lock components can also be used for the latch.

[0028] like Figure 5As shown, the bottom cylinder 1 consists of a polygonal bottom plate 20 and bottom side plates 21 surrounding the upper sides of each side of the bottom plate 20. Adjacent bottom side plates 21 and the bottom plate 20 are sealed together, for example, by adhesive bonding, to improve sealing performance and prevent leakage when filled with water. Each corner of the bottom plate 20 has a supporting corner 22, and an L-shaped support strip 23 connects adjacent supporting corners 22 to support the edges of the bottom plate 20 and the bottom ends of the bottom side plates 21, improving support for the bottom cylinder 1 and making it more robust. The top of the upper connecting corner piece 9 has a protruding positioning protrusion 24, and the bottom of the supporting corner 22 has a recessed positioning groove 25 that mates with the positioning protrusion 24. Thus, when two or more of these feeding cylinders are stacked, the positioning protrusion 24 inserts into the positioning groove 25 for positioning and constraint, making the stacked feeding cylinders more stable and providing a stable stacking effect.

[0029] The upper tank 2 can be equipped with a ventilation net at the top to protect and block the aquatic or reptiles raised in the tank. The ventilation net can be installed on the top opening of the upper tank 2 by hinged connection with the upper horizontal bar 8, or it can be installed on the upper horizontal bar 8 by inserting the edge of the ventilation net into the slot. The ventilation net is equipped with a feeding hole, and a hole cover 26 is hinged to the feeding hole to facilitate feeding the aquatic or reptiles raised in the tank.

[0030] In this utility model, each side plate 3 of the upper cylinder 2 and the bottom plate 20 and each bottom side plate 21 of the bottom cylinder 1 can be made of transparent glass or acrylic for easy viewing, while each lower horizontal bar 4, lower connecting corner piece 6, upper horizontal bar 8, upper connecting corner piece 9, support corner 22 and support strip 23 can be made of plastic or aluminum alloy.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, taking the quadrilateral shape of the bottom cylinder 1 as an example, the bottom cylinder 1 is fixed together by four glass bottom side plates 21 and one glass bottom plate 20 with adhesive. Corner supports 22 are respectively provided at the four corners of the bottom cylinder 1. L-shaped support strips 23 are respectively wrapped around the four sides of the bottom of the bottom cylinder 1. The two ends of the support strips 23 are respectively connected to the corresponding corner supports 22. Each support strip 23 and corner support 22 can be bonded to the bottom of the bottom cylinder 1 to improve the cylinder's reliability. Then, lower horizontal bars 4 are respectively snapped onto the top of each bottom side plate 21. Adjacent lower horizontal bars 4 are connected together by bolts 10 and lower connecting corner pieces 6. Then, the glass side plates on both sides of the upper cylinder 2 are... The glass side panel 3 and the rear glass side panel 3 are connected to the upper horizontal bar 8 through the slot 5. Then, the bottom ends of the glass side panels 3 on both sides of the upper cylinder body 2 are inserted into the slot 5 at the top of the lower horizontal bar 4 on both sides of the top of the bottom cylinder body 1. Then, the bottom end of the glass side panel 3 on the rear side of the upper cylinder body 2 is inserted into the slot 5 at the top of the lower horizontal bar 4 on the rear side of the top of the bottom cylinder body 1. The two rotating seats 11 on the front glass side panel 3 of the upper cylinder body 2, which is used as a side door, are rotatably connected to the corresponding upper connecting corner piece 9 and lower connecting corner piece 6 through the pivot. Then, the adjacent upper horizontal bars 8 are connected together with each upper connecting corner piece 9 through bolts 10. Finally, a ventilation net is installed on the top of the upper cylinder body 2. When using this invention to raise aquatic organisms or plants, the lower horizontal bars 4, lower connecting corner pieces 6, and upper tank 2 can be assembled together with the bottom tank 1, or they can be used alone without assembly, depending on the aquatic organisms or plants being raised. When raising reptiles, it is usually necessary to assemble the lower horizontal bars 4, lower connecting corner pieces 6, and upper tank 2 together with the bottom tank 1. When not in use, the side plates 3, lower horizontal bars 4, lower connecting corner pieces, upper horizontal bars 8, upper connecting corner pieces 9, and ventilation mesh of the upper tank 2 can be disassembled, reducing the volume, facilitating storage, and making transportation easier.
