Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water purification technology, specifically to a tank-mounted protein separator. Background Technology

[0002] In marine aquariums and mariculture, there are many high-molecular-weight organic substances, originating from the decomposition of fish excrement and leftover food. While these generally do not harm some more adaptable fish, they pose a threat to sensitive fish and mollusks. Therefore, protein skimmers are necessary to remove these high-molecular-weight organic substances. Protein skimmers utilize the principle that the surface of air bubbles in water can adsorb various particulate matter and soluble organic matter mixed in with the water. Aeration equipment or vortex pumps generate a large number of bubbles, which are then used by the protein skimmer to purify the seawater. These bubbles concentrate on the water surface, forming foam, which is collected in a container on the surface and then removed. Protein skimmers effectively remove organic particles, proteins, harmful metal ions, etc., resulting in good water purification.

[0003] Currently, protein skimmers are typically installed using a mounting bracket when used in aquariums. However, some existing brackets can only be installed in one direction and can only be fixed to the side of the tank, making them unsuitable for aquariums with frames and thus failing to meet usage requirements.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a cylinder-mounted protein separator. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems in related technologies, this utility model provides a cylinder-mounted protein separator that can be fixed to the cylinder in both vertical and horizontal directions, thereby meeting usage requirements.

[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A cylinder-mounted protein separator includes a reaction chamber, a noise reduction assembly, and a hanger assembly. A collection cup is installed at the top of the reaction chamber, a water pump is connected to the bottom of the reaction chamber, a noise reduction assembly is installed on the side wall of the water pump, an adjustment rod is installed on the lower side wall of the reaction chamber, and a hanger assembly is installed on the upper outer wall of the reaction chamber.

[0008] The hanger assembly includes a hanger body, which is installed on the upper outer wall of the reaction chamber. A fixing seat is fixedly installed on one side of the hanger body, and a hanger slot is provided on the fixing seat. A hanger bracket is installed in the hanger slot.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, positioning bolts are installed on the side wall of the main body of the bracket.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the hanging bracket slot is a concave structure and the hanging bracket support is a cross-shaped structure, so that the hanging bracket support can be inserted into the hanging bracket slot in two vertical directions.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a clamping bolt is installed on the side wall of the hanging bracket.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the silencing component includes a venturi tube, one end of which is connected to a water pump, and one end of an air inlet pipe is installed on the side wall of the venturi tube, while the other end of the air inlet pipe is fitted with a silencer body.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention utilizes a combination of a reaction chamber and a hanging bracket assembly. In use, the cross-shaped hanging bracket can be inserted into the hanging bracket slot in both vertical directions. Therefore, when the aquarium has a frame, the hanging bracket is inserted horizontally along the hanging bracket slot, and then the other end of the hanging bracket is installed onto the aquarium frame. Finally, the tightening bolts on the side wall of the hanging bracket are tightened. When the aquarium is frameless, the hanging bracket is inserted vertically along the hanging bracket slot, and then the other end of the hanging bracket is installed onto the aquarium body before tightening the tightening bolts. This allows the hanging bracket assembly to be fixed to the aquarium body in both vertical and horizontal directions, thus meeting usage requirements. Attached Figure Description

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cylinder-mounted protein separator is provided.

[0025] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1-5According to an embodiment of the present invention, a cylinder-mounted protein separator includes a reaction chamber 1, a noise reduction assembly 2, and a hanging bracket assembly 3. A collection cup 4 is installed at the top of the reaction chamber 1, and a water pump 5 is connected to the bottom of the reaction chamber 1. The noise reduction assembly 2 is installed on the side wall of the water pump 5. An adjusting rod 6 is installed on the lower side wall of the reaction chamber 1, and the hanging bracket assembly 3 is installed on the upper outer wall of the reaction chamber 1. The hanging bracket assembly 3 includes a hanging bracket body 7, which is installed on the upper outer wall of the reaction chamber 1. A fixing seat 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the hanging bracket body 7. A hanging bracket slot 9 is provided on the fixing seat 8. A hanging bracket support 10 is installed in the hanging bracket slot 9. The hanging bracket slot 9 has a concave structure, and the hanging bracket support 10 has a cross-shaped structure, so that the hanging bracket support 10 can be inserted into the hanging bracket slot 9 in two vertical directions. A tightening bolt 12 is installed on the side wall of the hanging bracket support 10. The reaction chamber 1 and the hanging bracket assembly 3 work together. When in use, the cross-shaped hanging bracket 10 can be inserted into the hanging bracket slot 9 in both vertical directions. Therefore, when the aquarium has a frame structure, the hanging bracket 10 is inserted horizontally along the hanging bracket slot 9, and then the other end of the hanging bracket 10 is installed on the frame of the aquarium. Then, the tightening bolt 12 on the side wall of the hanging bracket 10 is tightened. When the aquarium has no frame structure, the hanging bracket 10 is inserted vertically along the hanging bracket slot 9, and then the other end of the hanging bracket 10 is installed on the tank body. Finally, the tightening bolt 12 is tightened. This allows the hanging bracket assembly 3 to be fixed on the tank body in both vertical and horizontal directions, thus meeting the usage requirements.

[0026] In one embodiment, please refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1-5 As a further embodiment of this utility model, positioning bolts 11 are installed on the side wall of the bracket body 7. The positioning bolts 11 facilitate the installation of the bracket body 7.

[0027] In one embodiment, please refer to the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As a further embodiment of this utility model, the noise reduction assembly 2 includes a venturi tube 21, one end of which is connected to the water pump 5. An air inlet pipe 22 is installed on the side wall of the venturi tube 21, and a silencer body 23 is installed on the other end of the air inlet pipe 22. The noise reduction assembly 2, when in use, can reduce noise.

[0028] Workflow: When in use, first assemble and install all components. During this process, once the main body 7 of the bracket reaches the predetermined position on the outer wall of the reaction chamber 1, tighten the positioning bolt 11 to fix the main body 7 of the bracket. When the aquarium has a frame structure, insert the bracket 10 along the horizontal direction of the bracket slot 9, and then install the other end of the bracket 10 onto the frame of the aquarium. Then tighten the abutment bolt 12 on the side wall of the bracket 10. When the aquarium has a frameless structure, insert the bracket 10 along the vertical direction of the bracket slot 9, and then install the other end of the bracket 10 onto the tank body. Finally, tighten the abutment bolt 12.

[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
