All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of the claimed invention.

[0029] Example:

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a fish tank filtration device, including:

[0031] Filter 1 is hung on the outer wall of the fish tank. Filter 1 has a connected inlet and outlet. The outlet is set to correspond to the internal space of the fish tank so as to introduce the filtered water into the fish tank.

[0032] Water supply pipe 2, the upper end of water supply pipe 2 is connected to water inlet, and water inlet 21 is provided on the front wall of the lower end of water supply pipe 2;

[0033] Water pipe 4, with a water inlet 41 at the upper end of water pipe 4;

[0034] Water pump 3, the water inlet of water pump 3 is connected to water inlet 21 and water outlet 41 respectively, and its outlet is connected to the lower end of water pipe 2.

[0035] The water-blocking component 5 is movably installed inside the water pipe 4. The water-blocking component 5 is driven by external force to open or close the water inlet 21.

[0036] In this embodiment, the filter 1 is hung on the outer wall of the fish tank by a hook. The filter 1 has a connected inlet and outlet. The outlet is positioned corresponding to the internal space of the fish tank to guide the filtered water into the fish tank. The upper end of the water supply pipe 2 is connected to the inlet. An inlet 21 is provided on the front wall of the lower end of the water supply pipe 2. A water pump 3 is provided at the lower end of the water supply pipe 2. An outlet 41 is provided at the upper end of the water pipe 4. The inlet of the water pump 3 is connected to the inlet. 21. The water inlet 41 is connected to the water outlet, and its outlet end is connected to the lower end of the water inlet pipe 2. The water blocking component 5 is movably installed in the water inlet pipe 4. The water blocking component 5 is driven by external force to open or close the water inlet 21, so that the water in the fish tank enters the water inlet pipe 2 through the water inlet 21 or through the water inlet 41. Its structure is simple and can effectively solve the problems of difficult water supply, difficult machine start-up and difficult restart after power failure of the wall-mounted fish tank filter 1.

[0037] Furthermore, the water-blocking assembly 5 includes a water-blocking plate 51 and an adjusting rod 52. The water-blocking plate 51 is vertically and flexibly installed at the water inlet 21. An adjusting groove 42 is provided on the outer wall of the water pipe 4. One end of the adjusting rod 52 is connected to the water-blocking plate 51, and the other end extends outward after passing through the adjusting groove 42. The adjusting rod 52 is driven by external force to slide up and down along the adjusting groove 42, thereby causing the adjusting rod 52 to drive the water-blocking plate 51 to control the opening and closing of the water inlet 21.

[0038] Preferably, a water passage cavity 22 is defined at the lower end of the water inlet pipe 2, and the water pump 3 is disposed in the water passage cavity 22.

[0039] Specifically, a boss 23 is provided at the water inlet end of the water passage cavity 22. When the baffle plate 51 closes the water inlet 21, the boss 23 abuts against the rear wall of the baffle plate 51.

[0040] In this embodiment, a baffle plate 51 is provided in the water pipe 4 in a height-adjustable manner. An adjustment groove 42 is provided on the outer wall of the water pipe 4. One end of the adjustment rod 52 is connected to the baffle plate 51, and the other end extends outward after passing through the adjustment groove 42. The adjustment rod 52 is driven by external force to slide up and down along the adjustment groove 42, thereby causing the adjustment rod 52 to drive the baffle plate 51 to control the opening and closing of the water inlet 21, that is, the water inlet 41 is set to the normally open state. In addition, the water inlet end of the water passage cavity 22 is connected to the water inlet 21 and the water inlet 41 respectively, and its water outlet end is connected to the lower end of the water pipe 2.

[0041] More preferably, when the adjusting rod 52 moves from bottom to top, the adjusting rod 52 drives the baffle plate 51 to open the water inlet 21, so that the water inlet 21 and the water outlet 41 are connected to the water inlet end of the water passage 22 respectively. Since the water inlet 21 is located at the bottom of the water in the fish tank and the water outlet 41 is located on the water surface in the fish tank, after the water pump 3 starts working, under the action of water pressure, the water in the fish tank will only enter the water pipe 2 through the water inlet 21, while the water outlet 41 will not enter. Furthermore, when the adjusting rod 52 moves from top to bottom, the adjusting rod 52 drives the baffle plate 51 to close the water inlet 21, thereby cutting off the channel between the water inlet 21 and the water inlet end of the water passage 22, while the channel between the water outlet 41 and the water inlet end of the water passage 22 is opened. In this way, the water in the fish tank can enter the water inlet pipe 2 through the water outlet 41, thereby effectively solving the problems of difficult water supply, difficult machine start-up, and difficult restart after power failure of the wall-mounted fish tank filter 1.

[0042] Preferably, the filter 1 includes a filter housing 11 and filter media components, wherein an inlet chamber and an outlet chamber are defined in the filter housing 11 respectively, the inlet end of the inlet chamber is connected to the inlet port, the outlet end of the inlet chamber is connected to the inlet end of the outlet chamber, and the outlet end of the outlet chamber is connected to the outlet port, and the filter media components are respectively disposed in the inlet chamber and the outlet chamber.

[0043] Furthermore, the filter 1 also includes multiple fixing boxes 12, with filter media components respectively disposed in the multiple fixing boxes 12, and the multiple fixing boxes 12 are stacked in sequence in the water inlet chamber and water outlet chamber along the vertical direction.

[0044] Specifically, multiple through holes 13 are provided on the bottom wall of each fixing box 12, and slots 14 are provided on the opposite side walls at the upper end of each fixing box 12. Fasteners 15 are protruding on the opposite side walls at the lower end of each fixing box 12. The fasteners 15 cooperate with the slots 14 to make two adjacent fixing boxes 12 snap together.

[0045] Preferably, the filter 1 further includes a cover plate 16, and fastening platforms 17 are respectively provided on the opposite side walls at the lower end of the cover plate 16. The fastening platforms 17 are connected with the bayonet 14 to make the cover plate 16 and the fixing box 12 snap together.

[0046] Specifically, the filter 1 also includes a top cover 18, the top of the filter housing 11 is open, and the top cover 18 is detachably disposed on the open end of the filter 1.

[0047] In this embodiment, an independently defined inlet chamber and outlet chamber are defined within the filter housing 11. A filter media component is disposed within each fixing box 12. Multiple fixing boxes 12 are stacked vertically within the inlet and outlet chambers. Two adjacent fixing boxes 12 are interlocked, and the upper fixing box 12 is then connected to a cover plate 16, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the filter media component within the filter housing 11 and further improving the user experience. More preferably, the filter media component is made of filter screen, filter media, filter cotton, and / or activated carbon, but is not limited to these materials. Other suitable filter media can be selected according to actual needs, thereby filtering and purifying the water in the aquarium and adsorbing impurities.

[0048] Specifically, it includes a water inlet pipe 6, which is sleeved on the outside of the water supply pipe 2, and the lower end of the water inlet pipe 6 is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 3. The upper end of the water inlet pipe 6 is detachably provided with a connecting pipe 7. When the water supply pipe 4 is removed, a through hole is opened on the front end face of the connecting pipe 7 to form a water inlet 41. Alternatively, when the water supply pipe 4 is provided, the front end face of the connecting pipe 7 is a dense flat plate structure.

[0049] In this embodiment, a water inlet pipe 6 is sleeved on the outside of the water inlet pipe 2. The lower end of the water inlet pipe 6 is connected to the water inlet of the water pump 3, and a connecting pipe 7 is detachably provided on its upper end. In this embodiment, the water passage pipe 4 is preferably located in front of the water inlet pipe 2, but it is not limited to the above scheme. The above scheme is only used as an example for description. When the water passage pipe 4 is preferably located in front of the water inlet pipe 2, that is, when the water passage pipe 4 is provided, the front end face of the water inlet pipe 7 is a dense flat plate structure, thereby preventing the water in the fish tank from entering the water pump 3 after passing through the connecting pipe 7 and the water inlet pipe 6 in sequence. Of course, the water passage pipe 4 can also be not located in front of the water inlet pipe 2, that is, when the water passage pipe 4 is removed, a through hole is opened on the front end face of the connecting pipe 7 to form a water inlet 41, so that the water in the fish tank enters the water pump 3 after passing through the connecting pipe 7 and the water inlet pipe 6 in sequence, thereby enabling the product to have multiple replacement structures to meet various needs. In addition, to further improve the stability of the installation of the connecting pipe 7, the upper end of the connecting pipe 7 is connected to the bottom wall of the filter 1, and its lower end is snapped together with the upper end of the water inlet pipe 7.

[0050] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
