[0002] Currently, family farming and planting are mostly independent activities, lacking the recycling of resources.
[0003] In home aquarium farming, improper handling of fish excrement and wastewater can pollute the environment, require frequent water changes, and waste water resources. In addition, home aquarium farming often relies on purchasing fertilizers from external sources, making it impossible to achieve internal resource recycling.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a home-based aquaponics ecosystem to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention provides a family aquaponics ecosystem, which solves the problems that if fish excrement and wastewater are not properly treated during family fish farming, they will not only pollute the environment, but also require frequent water changes and waste water resources. At the same time, family farming often relies on externally purchased fertilizers, making it impossible to achieve internal resource recycling.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a family aquaponics ecosystem, including: a circular fish pond, a filter pond base, a filter pond, and a vegetable planting box.

[0007] The filtration tank includes a fifth filtration chamber, a fourth filtration chamber, a third filtration chamber, a second filtration chamber, and a first filtration chamber. The fifth filtration chamber, the fourth filtration chamber, the third filtration chamber, the second filtration chamber, and the first filtration chamber are respectively disposed on the surface of the filtration tank base. A first partition, a second partition, a third partition, and a fourth partition are disposed between the fifth filtration chamber, the fourth filtration chamber, the third filtration chamber, the second filtration chamber, and the first filtration chamber. Drainage pipes are connected to the bottom of the fifth filtration chamber, the fourth filtration chamber, the third filtration chamber, the second filtration chamber, and the first filtration chamber. A diverging pipe is disposed between the circular fish pond and the first filtration chamber.
[0008] The vegetable planting box is located between the fifth filter chamber, the fourth filter chamber, the third filter chamber, the second filter chamber, and the first filter chamber, and the vegetable planting box is equipped with a siphon device inside.
[0009] Preferably, the circular fishpond is equipped with an inlet pipe, one side of which is connected to a second delivery pipe. One end of the inlet pipe is connected to the siphon device, and the second delivery pipe is connected to the fifth filter chamber.
[0010] Preferably, a third delivery pipe connects the circular fishpond and the first filter chamber.

[0031] First Embodiment
[0032] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a first embodiment of a home aquaponics ecosystem provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A first-person perspective three-dimensional structural diagram of the ecosystem shown. Figure 3 for Figure 2 The enlarged schematic diagram of part A shown below; Figure 4 for Figure 1 A second-view, three-dimensional structural diagram of the ecosystem shown. Figure 5 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a third-person perspective three-dimensional structure of the ecosystem. A family aquaponics ecosystem includes: a circular fish pond 1, a filter pond, a filter pond base 7, and a vegetable growing box 18. An aeration pipe 2 is installed at the bottom of the circular fish pond 1, and an oxygenation pump 4 is connected to one end of the aeration pipe 2. A water outlet pipe 3 is installed at the center of the interior of the circular fish pond 1. A bottom suction head and a surface suction head are respectively installed at the bottom and top of the water outlet pipe 3. A circular anti-jump net 21 is installed at the top of the circular fish pond 1.
[0033] The filter tank includes a fifth filter chamber 8, a fourth filter chamber 9, a third filter chamber 10, a second filter chamber 11, and a first filter chamber 12. The fifth filter chamber 8, the fourth filter chamber 9, the third filter chamber 10, the second filter chamber 11, and the first filter chamber 12 are respectively disposed on the surface of the filter tank base 7. The fifth filter chamber 8, the fourth filter chamber 9, the third filter chamber 10, the second filter chamber 11, and the first filter chamber 12 are separated by a first partition 13, a second partition 14, a third partition 15, and a fourth partition 16. The bottom of the fifth filter chamber 8, the fourth filter chamber 9, the third filter chamber 10, the second filter chamber 11, and the first filter chamber 12 are all connected to a drain pipe 22. A diverging pipe 29 is disposed between the circular fish pond 1 and the first filter chamber 12.
[0034] The vegetable planting box 18 is located between the fifth filter chamber 8, the fourth filter chamber 9, the third filter chamber 10, the second filter chamber 11 and the first filter chamber 12. The vegetable planting box 18 is equipped with a PVC pipe 19 and a siphon device 28.
[0035] The circular fish pond 1 is equipped with an inlet pipe 5. A second delivery pipe 6 is connected to one side of the inlet pipe 5. One end of the inlet pipe 5 is connected to the siphon device 28. The second delivery pipe 6 is connected to the fifth filter chamber 8.
[0036] The perforated PVC pipe 19 on the vegetable planting box 18 will later be filled with volcanic rock as a planting substrate. Water will then flow out of the PVC pipe holes through the water pump. When the water level reaches the siphon position, the siphon device 29 will be activated. After the siphon device 29 is activated, the water will flow into the fourth filter chamber 9 to help the K5 packing material tumble and oxygenate.
[0037] A third delivery pipe 20 connects the circular fishpond 1 and the first filter chamber 12.
[0038] The surfaces of the first partition 13, the second partition 14, the third partition 15 and the fourth partition 16 are all provided with through holes 17.
[0039] A control pipe 23 is connected to the bottom of the surface of the circular fish pond 1.
[0040] The circular fishpond 1 has a bottom suction head and a surface suction head in the outlet pipe 3, and an aeration pipe 2 around the bottom. The bottom suction head is responsible for absorbing fish feces and wastewater produced by fish farming and entering the first filter chamber 12 through the outlet pipe 3 and the third conveying pipe 20. The water flow is slowed down by the diverging pipe 29 to allow large fish feces particles to settle. The surface suction head is responsible for absorbing the oil film produced by fish feed and floating debris on the water surface and transporting it to the first filter chamber 12. The aeration pipe 2 aerates the fishpond through the oxygen pump 4 outside the fishpond, which oxygenates the fishpond and pushes the water flow to concentrate the fish feces in the center for easy discharge.
[0041] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 and Figure 2 It was learned that a forced-flow ball valve was installed on the drain pipe 22, and a ball valve 27 was installed on the third delivery pipe 20.
[0042] The circular anti-jump net 21 can prevent fish from jumping out.
[0043] The bottom of the filter tank base 7 has five 50mm round holes to facilitate the installation of the drain pipe 22 for draining the fifth filter chamber 8, the fourth filter chamber 9, the third filter chamber 10, the second filter chamber 11 and the first filter chamber 12.
[0044] The bottom of the fifth filter chamber 8, the fourth filter chamber 9, the third filter chamber 10, the second filter chamber 11, and the first filter chamber 12 has a drain port, which is connected to the base opening by a forced-draft pipe fitting.
[0045] The first filter chamber 12 has a divergence pipe 29 and a brush. The divergence pipe 29 disperses and slows down the water flow, allowing fish feces to settle better at the bottom. The brush is used to intercept large particles of fish feces, thus playing a role in physical filtration.
[0046] The inlet pipe 3 is equipped with a bottom suction and a surface suction. Through the third conveying pipe 20 and the diverging pipe 29, the water and oil film on the surface of the circular fish pond 1 and the fish feces and impurities at the bottom of the circular fish pond 1 are conveyed to the interior of the first filter chamber 12.
[0047] The partition plate between the first filter chamber 12 and the second filter chamber 11 has 10 32mm holes and a height of 0.42 meters, which are used for water to flow into the second filter chamber 11. The second filter chamber 11 contains styrofoam, which is used to intercept small fish feces and play a role in physical filtration. The styrofoam is used to intercept these small particles, and it also has a role in cultivating bacteria.
[0048] The partition between the fourth filter chamber 9 and the third filter chamber 10 has 10 holes of 32mm each and a height of 0.05 meters. Water flows into the third filter chamber 10 through these 10 holes. The third filter chamber 10 contains filter media such as bacterial houses, ceramic rings, activated carbon, and oyster shells to cultivate nitrifying bacteria and treat ammonia nitrogen and nitrite in the water, thus playing a role in biological filtration.
[0049] The bottom of the second filter chamber 11 is connected to the third filter chamber 10. The principle is a water-turning plate. The first filter chamber 12 is the top water outlet, the second filter chamber 11 is the bottom water outlet, the third filter chamber 10 is the top water outlet, and the fourth filter chamber 9 is the bottom water outlet. It is similar to a flip plate, so that the water flows through the gap.
[0050] Ten 32mm holes are opened between the third filter chamber 10 and the fourth filter chamber 11, with a height of 0.37 meters. Water flows into the fourth filter chamber 9 through the ten 32mm holes. The fourth filter chamber 9 is a sulfurized bed, which contains K1, K2, K3, K4, and K5 packing materials and aeration discs. Aeration by the aeration discs causes the packing materials to tumble, forming a biofilm that allows nitrifying bacteria to attach and treat ammonia nitrogen and nitrite in the water, thus playing a role in biological filtration.
[0051] The partition between the fifth filter chamber 8 and the fourth filter chamber 9 has ten 32mm holes, with a height of 0.05 meters. Water flows into the fifth filter chamber 8 through these ten 32mm holes. The fifth filter chamber 8 contains a 200mm diameter PVC pipe with 10mm holes for water intake. An ultraviolet (UV) sterilizer and a water pump are installed inside the pipe. The UV sterilizer kills toxic bacteria in the water, and the water pump pumps water to the circular fishpond and... Figure 4 The rectangular vegetable growing box has one water pipe leading to the fish pond, and a second water pipe pumping water to the vegetable growing box. The water flow is regulated by ball valve 27. A Venturi aerator is placed at the inlet of the circular fish pond. The gas-liquid mixture increases the oxygen content of the water, while the water flow rotates to concentrate fish waste in the middle for discharge.
[0052] The rectangular vegetable planting box 18 contains a bell-shaped siphon device, perforated PVC pipes, and volcanic rock as the planting substrate. Water flows out of the PVC pipe 19 through the water pump. When the water level reaches the siphon activation point, the siphon activates and the water flows into the fourth chamber, helping the K5 packing material to tumble and oxygenate. The water pipe circulation activates the siphon device to achieve the effect of ebb and flow. Vegetables and flowers are planted in the volcanic rock planting substrate. The plant roots absorb nutrients such as nitrates in the water, helping the plants grow and purifying the water quality. The water then flows back to the fish pond through the water pump.
[0053] The base of the filter tank is equipped with perforations for connection to the filter tank itself. The filter tank has five compartments. The first compartment is a sedimentation compartment, equipped with a diverging pipe 29 and a brush to settle and intercept large fish feces particles. The second compartment is a physical interception compartment, equipped with cotton wicks to intercept fine fish feces particles. The third compartment is a biochemical compartment, equipped with biochemical filter materials such as bacterial houses, quartz balls, and volcanic rock. The fourth compartment is a fluidized bed, equipped with K1 and K5 fluidized bed packing materials for biochemical cultivation. The fifth compartment is a biochemical, sterilization, and pump compartment, equipped with K5 fluidized bed packing material and a 200mm diameter perforated PVC pipe, inside which a water pump and a sterilizing lamp are installed. The vegetable planting box is equipped with a bell-shaped siphon and volcanic rock to achieve tidal planting and bacterial cultivation.
[0054] The working principle of the home aquaponics ecosystem provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0055] Fish pond section: The bottom suction device of the circular fish pond 1 sucks up fish waste and sewage, which flows into the first filter chamber 12 through a PVC pipe. The surface suction device sucks up oil film and floating debris, which also flow into this chamber. The aeration pipe aerates the water under the action of the oxygen pump, increasing the oxygen content of the water, and at the same time, it pushes the water flow to concentrate the fish waste in the center for easy discharge.
[0056] Filtration Section: After wastewater enters the first filtration chamber 12, the flow is slowed by the diffuser pipe 29, causing large fish feces particles to settle, and brushes intercept large impurities. Subsequently, the water flows sequentially through holes in the partition plates between chambers into subsequent chambers. The second filtration chamber 11 uses cotton fibers to intercept fine fish feces; the third filtration chamber uses filter media such as bacterial houses and ceramic rings to cultivate nitrifying bacteria, treating ammonia nitrogen and nitrite in the water; the fourth filtration chamber 9 uses an aeration disc to tumble the fluidized bed K5 and other packing materials to coat them with biofilm, further treating ammonia nitrogen and nitrite; the fifth chamber uses ultraviolet germicidal lamps to kill toxic bacteria in the water, and a water pump pumps the treated water to the fish pond and vegetable growing boxes.
[0057] Vegetable growing box section: Water flows into the vegetable growing box through a water pump and flows out through perforated PVC pipes. When the water level reaches the siphon activation point, the siphon device is activated, and the water flows back to the fourth filter chamber 9, helping the K5 packing to tumble and oxygenate, creating a tide effect. Volcanic rock serves as the growing substrate, and plant roots absorb nutrients such as nitrates from the water to grow. The purified water then flows back to the fish pond through a water pump, completing the entire ecological cycle.
[0058] Compared with related technologies, the aquaponics ecosystem for home use provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0059] This utility model provides a family aquaponics ecosystem. Inside a circular fish pond 1, an aeration pipe 2, an oxygenation pump 4, and a radiating pipe 29 are respectively installed. On the surface of the filter tank base 7, a fifth filter chamber 8, a fourth filter chamber 9, a third filter chamber 10, a second filter chamber 11, and a first filter chamber 12 are respectively installed with a first partition 13, a second partition 14, a third partition 15, and a fourth partition 16. Inside the vegetable planting box 18, a siphon device 28 is installed. The system works in conjunction with these components to achieve resource recycling: fish excrement and wastewater are transformed into water rich in nutrients such as nitrates after multiple filtrations and biochemical treatments in the filter tank, providing nutrients for the vegetables and flowers in the vegetable planting box. This realizes the recycling of water and nutrients, reducing the use of external fertilizers and the waste of water resources.
[0060] Water purification: As the plant roots in the vegetable growing box absorb nutrients, they further purify the water. The purified water then flows back into the fishpond, providing a cleaner living environment for the fish and promoting their healthy growth.
[0061] Increased oxygen content: The aeration pipes, Venturi aeration pipes, and siphon devices agitate the water during operation, increasing the oxygen content of the water, meeting the oxygen requirements of fish and nitrifying bacteria, and promoting the stable operation of the ecosystem.
[0062] Multifunctional integration: Integrating aquaculture and plant cultivation into one system saves space and provides families with a small ecological landscape that combines ornamental, edible, and environmentally friendly functions.

[0066] The rectangular block 254 is connected to one side of the surface of the protective cover 251, and the bolt 255 is disposed inside the rectangular block 254.
