Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of filters, and more particularly to a removable and washable aquarium filter. Background Technology

[0002] An aquarium is a glass container used to keep aquatic life for aesthetic purposes. During the process of keeping fish in an aquarium, fish waste, uneaten food, and other particulate matter are produced. When a large amount of particulate matter accumulates in the water, it produces harmful substances, polluting the aquarium water and affecting the survival of the fish. To provide a good living environment for the fish, filters are installed in the aquarium to purify the water.

[0003] However, when existing filters circulate and filter water, fish feces, uneaten food, and other particulate matter are carried in the water flow and tend to accumulate on the filter elements after filtration. Over time, this can lead to the growth of bacteria and algae, reducing the filtration efficiency and lifespan of the filter elements. Therefore, it is necessary to clean and replace the filter elements regularly. If the filter elements are not replaced in time and become clogged, it can also damage the water pump. To address these issues, a removable and washable aquarium filter is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a detachable and washable aquarium filter, including a housing 1 for installing other components. A water outlet pipe 3 for discharging clean water is fixedly connected to the bottom of the housing 1. A filter box 8 for placing filter media such as filter cotton is installed on the inner wall of the housing 1. A filter cleaning mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the housing 1, including an observation component, a pre-filtration component, and a collection component. The pre-filtration component can filter out some larger debris, and the collection component can collect some fish feces, uneaten food, and other particulate matter carried in the water flow. The collection component includes a settling tank 6 for collecting particulate matter. The settling tank 6 is attached to the inner wall of the housing 1 and is positioned above the filter tank 8 for further filtration of the water. The inner wall of the settling tank 6 is equipped with a separator 13, which can collect the settled particles and prevent them from being carried away by the water flow again. The inner wall of the separator 13 is fitted with a water pipe 14 for water flow. A filter screen 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the water pipe 14. The filter screen 15 can prevent the collected particles from being carried away and disturbed when the water flows through the water pipe 14. The lower surface of the settling tank 6 is provided with a water hole 12 for cooperating with the water pipe 14. The top of the settling tank 6 is fixedly connected with a lifting rod 7 for easy removal of the settling tank 6.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2, Figure 4 The observation components include an observation plate 5 and a light strip 11. The observation plate 5 and the light strip 11 allow users to easily monitor the filtration status of other components inside the housing 1 in real time. The observation plate 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the light strip 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. The light strip 11 is located near the settling tank 6, which is made of a light-transmitting material, allowing the light generated by the light strip 11 to pass through the settling tank 6 and observe the collection status of the settling tank 6. The separator pad 13 is made of silicone material, which can be directly removed from the inside of the settling tank 6 for rubbing and cleaning, making cleaning convenient. The separator pad 13 is honeycomb-shaped to separate the collected particles and prevent them from being carried away and disturbed by the water flow. The observation plate 5 is made of transparent material, allowing direct observation of the filtration status. An overflow groove 4 is provided on the front surface of the housing 1. When the filtration effect of the filter box 8 decreases and the outflow rate cannot keep up with the inflow rate, the water inside the housing 1 will flow out from the overflow groove 4, protecting other filtration elements.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The primary filtration assembly includes a waste bin 9 for preliminary filtration and waste collection. The waste bin 9 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 1 and fixed by a fixing block 16. A filter screen hopper 10 for preliminary filtration is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the waste bin 9. A fixing block 16 for fixing the waste bin 9 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the waste bin 9. A magnet 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 16. Magnet 17 and magnet 2 18 attract each other and pull the fixing block 16 to fix it to the housing 1. A magnet 2 18 that attracts magnet 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. The filter screen hopper 10 is set as a cone with the tip pointing upwards, which can reduce clogging under the impact of water flow from the water inlet pipe 2. A water inlet pipe 2 is installed on the upper surface of the waste bin 9 to fill water into the housing 1. The fixing block 16 is set as an inverted T-shape for easy release.

[0033] Working Principle: During use, water flows into the housing 1 through the inlet pipe 2, first impacting the conical filter hopper 10 of the pre-filtration component. Because the filter hopper 10 has an upward-pointing conical structure, the water flow disperses pressure and reduces clogging. Larger particles (such as fish food scraps and aquatic plant debris) are intercepted and temporarily stored in the waste bin 9. The waste bin 9 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1 by magnet 17 and magnet 2 18. The user can pull the inverted T-shaped fixing block 16 to release the magnetism and quickly disassemble the waste bin 9 for cleaning. The pre-filtered water flows downward into the settling tank 6 of the collection component. The water flow slows down in the settling tank 6, and fish feces, small uneaten food, and other particles settle due to gravity. The honeycomb-shaped silicone separator 13 inside the settling tank 6 separates and collects the particles. In each honeycomb unit, to prevent secondary suspension caused by water flow disturbance, and as the water flows downward through the water pipe 14, the filter screen 15 further blocks particles from floating, ensuring settling stability. Users can lift the entire translucent settling box 6 using the lifting rod 7 and directly rub the silicone separator pad 13 for quick cleaning. The settled water flows into the filter box 8 through the water pipe 14, undergoes deep filtration through the filled filter cotton and other materials, and finally discharges clean water through the outlet pipe 3. The observation component provides visual monitoring through the transparent observation plate 5 and the light strip 11. The light from the light strip 11 penetrates the translucent settling box 6, clearly showing the degree of particle accumulation in the separator pad 13. The observation plate 5 reflects the working status of the filter box 8 in real time, prompting users to clean or replace the filter media in time.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
