Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquariums, specifically to a carbon dioxide reaction device. Background Technology

[0002] For example, in the Chinese utility model patent publication number CN113145023A, entitled "A Carbon Dioxide Reactor," the applicant discovered during the actual research and development process that the pump body struggled to operate. After extensive experimentation, it was found that because the pump body was operating at normal atmospheric pressure, the pressure inside the chamber containing the acid and alkali components changed during carbon dioxide production. This created a pressure difference between the internal chamber pressure and normal atmospheric pressure, making pumping extremely difficult and sometimes even impossible. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this invention lies in how to solve the pumping problem. To this end, this invention provides a carbon dioxide reaction device, comprising:

[0004] The first storage container has a first chamber for containing acidic substances;

[0005] The second storage device has a second chamber for containing alkaline substances;

[0006] The pump body draws acidic substances into the second chamber; or, the pump body draws alkaline substances into the first chamber.

[0007] The pump operates in an environment with the same air pressure as the first and second chambers.

[0008] Firstly, the first chamber, the second chamber, and the environment in which the pump operates are all at the same pressure, so there is no pressure difference between them. At this time, the pump does not need to overcome the pressure difference during the extraction process, making extraction more convenient. The pump draws acidic substances into alkaline substances, thereby achieving a stable delivery effect. The pump can stably and accurately control the volume of acidic substances extracted, thus accurately controlling the volume of carbon dioxide produced.

[0009] It also includes a housing, which has a third chamber for accommodating the pump body.

[0010] By placing the pump body in the third chamber and controlling the air pressure in the third chamber, the air pressure in the environment where the pump body is located is made equal to that in the first and second chambers, thus achieving the control effect.

[0011] The first and second storage units are respectively connected to the housing, and the first, second, and third chambers are interconnected.

[0012] The first and second storage units are connected to the housing to form the entire modular structure, which facilitates overall sales. The connection between the first, second, and third chambers creates an effect of equal air pressure.

[0013] The housing has a first channel and a second channel. The first channel connects the pump body to the first chamber and the second chamber, and the second channel connects the first chamber, the second chamber and the third chamber.

[0014] The first channel facilitates liquid transport, while the second channel enables gas flow, connecting the first, second, and third chambers. The first and second channels can be internal structures within the casing, or they can be integrated into the internal layout via air or water pipes.

[0015] The second channel includes a first branch, a second branch, and a third branch. The first branch connects the second chamber to the output end, the second branch connects the first chamber to the second chamber, and the third branch connects the second chamber to the third chamber.

[0016] The second chamber here is the reaction chamber. The acid solution in the first chamber is drawn into the second chamber to form an acid-base neutralization reaction. The generated carbon dioxide is divided into several paths. The first path is delivered through the output end to supply carbon dioxide to the external aquarium. The second path connects the first and second chambers to make the air pressure in the first and second chambers equal. The third path connects to the third chamber to make the air pressure in the third chamber equal to that in the second chamber.

[0017] The second channel includes a first branch, a second branch, and a third branch. The first branch connects the second chamber to the output end, the second branch connects the first chamber to the second chamber, and the third branch connects the first chamber to the third chamber.

[0018] The second chamber here is also a reaction chamber. The difference from the above description is that the connection method of the third branch changes. It is equivalent to carbon dioxide first entering the first chamber and then connecting to the third chamber through the first chamber. The advantage of this design is that, since foam will be generated after the reaction in the reaction chamber, if the opening is made directly on the reaction chamber, the foam will enter the third chamber through the third branch, causing the third chamber to be humid and the pump body inside to be easily corroded.

[0019] The housing includes a cover plate, a base, and a base. The cover plate and the base cooperate to form a third chamber, and the base and the base cooperate to form a fourth chamber. The first storage device and the second storage device are housed in the fourth chamber.

[0020] The housing integrates the pump body, the first reservoir, and the second reservoir into a single, fixed unit at the factory, eliminating the need for customer assembly and simplifying operation.

[0021] The first and second channels are located on the base.

[0022] During the processing of this base, such as during injection molding, the first channel and the second channel are formed, creating a one-piece processing effect that eliminates the need for wiring and simplifies operation.

[0023] It also includes a regulating valve, which is housed in the third chamber and located between the first branch and the output end.

[0024] The setting of the regulating valve creates a control effect at the output end.

[0025] It also includes a housing and a fixing component. The fixing component has a fifth chamber, and the pump body is housed in the fifth chamber. The housing has a first channel and a second channel. The first channel connects the pump body with the first chamber and the second chamber, and the second channel connects the first chamber, the second chamber, and the fifth chamber.

[0026] The fixture and pump body form a modular structure, which is easy to install and fix. The structure is simple and reduces the difficulty of processing. The first and second channels are pipes, which are connected to form a gas or liquid flow channel through the joint.

[0027] The pump body is housed in either the first chamber or the second chamber.

[0028] By placing the pump body within the first chamber, the operating environment of the pump body can be made equal to the air pressure within the first chamber. A common pressure effect can be achieved simply by connecting the first and second chambers. Alternatively, the pump body can be placed within the second chamber, also achieving a common pressure effect.

[0029] It also includes a control module, which controls the operation of the pump body. The control module can be housed in the third chamber or located outside the third chamber.

[0030] The control module can be located inside or outside the housing.

[0031] The control unit can be controlled via Bluetooth, an app, a local area network, or the Internet of Things.

[0032] Bluetooth, mobile app, local area network, and IoT can all be used for control, allowing operators to achieve rapid control through different methods.

[0033] The power supply voltage of the control unit can be DC or AC, or 220V, 36V, 24V, or 12V. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0051] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. Example 1

[0052] This embodiment provides a carbon dioxide reaction apparatus, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 1-7 As shown, it includes:

[0053] The first storage container 11 has a first chamber 111 for containing an acidic substance. The acidic substance is specifically an acid used to react and produce carbon dioxide. The acidic substance can be selected according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the acidic substance is specifically in liquid form.

[0054] The second storage container 12 has a second chamber 121 for containing alkaline substances, which neutralize with acidic substances to produce carbon dioxide. In this embodiment, the alkaline substance is specifically in the form of a solid powder.

[0055] Pump 14 draws acidic substances into the second chamber 121; or, pump 14 draws alkaline substances into the first chamber 111. When both the acidic and alkaline substances are liquids, pump 14 can be adjusted according to actual needs. When the acidic substance is liquid and the alkaline substance is solid, pump 14 needs to draw the acid into the alkali. In this embodiment, the example of the acidic substance being liquid and the alkaline substance being solid is described, that is, pump 14 draws the acidic substance from the first chamber 111 into the alkaline substance in the second chamber 121 to form an acid-base neutralization reaction, where the second chamber 121 is the reaction chamber.

[0056] The operating environment of the pump body 14 has the same air pressure as the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 121. This operating environment can be located within a separate chamber, ensuring that the air pressures of the first chamber 111, the second chamber 121, and the separate chamber are equal. Alternatively, the pump body 14 can be housed within the first chamber 111, with the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 121 connected to ensure equal air pressure. Or, the air pressures of the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 121 can be adjusted to achieve equal air pressures. Alternatively, the pump body 14 can be housed within the second chamber 121, ensuring that when the air pressures of the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 121 are equal, the air pressure of the operating environment of the pump body 14 is also equal. When the pump body 14 is running, the ambient pressure is equal to that of the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 121. During the extraction process, the pump body 14 does not need to overcome the pressure difference to perform the extraction operation, making the extraction more convenient. The pump body 14 draws acidic substances into alkaline substances, thereby achieving a stable delivery effect. The pump body 14 can stably and accurately control the volume of acidic substances extracted, so that the volume of carbon dioxide produced can be precisely controlled.

[0057] Among them, as attached Figure 1-3 As shown, the system also includes a housing 13, which has a third chamber 131 for housing the pump body 14. By housing the pump body 14 in the third chamber 131 and controlling the air pressure in the third chamber 131, the operating environment of the pump body 14 is made equal to the air pressure in the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 121, thus achieving a control effect. Alternatively, the pump body 14 can also be housed in the first chamber 111 or in the second chamber 121.

[0058] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 1-3 As shown, the first storage unit 11 and the second storage unit 12 are respectively connected to the housing 13, and the first chamber 111, the second chamber 121, and the third chamber 131 are interconnected. The first storage unit 11 and the second storage unit 12 are respectively connected to the housing 13 to form the entire modular structure, which is convenient for overall sales. The interconnection of the first chamber 111, the second chamber 121, and the third chamber 131 creates an effect of equal air pressure.

[0059] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 4-7 As shown, the housing 13 has a first channel 15 and a second channel 16. The first channel 15 connects the pump body 14 with the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 121, and the second channel 16 connects the first chamber 111, the second chamber 121, and the third chamber 131. The first channel 15 facilitates liquid transport, and the second channel 16 facilitates gas flow, thus connecting the first chamber 111, the second chamber 121, and the third chamber 131. Here, the first channel 15 and the second channel 16 can be internal structures of the housing 13, or they can be connected through pipes, with joints and pipes forming a gas or liquid flow channel.

[0060] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 5 As shown, the second channel 16 includes a first branch 161, a second branch 162, and a third branch 163. The first branch 161 connects the second chamber 121 to the output end, the second branch 162 connects the first chamber 111 to the second chamber 121, and the third branch 163 connects the second chamber 121 to the third chamber 131. Here, the second chamber 121 is a reaction chamber. The acid solution in the first chamber 111 is drawn into the second chamber 121 to form an acid-base neutralization reaction. The generated carbon dioxide is divided into several paths. The first path is conveyed through the output end to supply carbon dioxide to the external aquarium. The second path connects the first chamber 111 to the second chamber 121, making the air pressure in the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 121 equal. The third path connects to the third chamber 131, making the air pressure in the third chamber 131 equal to that in the second chamber 121.

[0061] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 4 As shown, the second channel 16 includes a first branch 161, a second branch 162, and a third branch 163. The first branch 161 connects the second chamber 121 to the output end, the second branch 162 connects the first chamber 111 to the second chamber 121, and the third branch 163 connects the first chamber 111 to the third chamber 131. Here, the second chamber 121 is also a reaction chamber. The difference from the above description is that the connection method of the third branch 163 changes. It is equivalent to carbon dioxide first entering the first chamber 111 and then connecting to the third chamber 131 through the first chamber 111. The advantage of this design is that, since foam is generated after the reaction in the reaction chamber, if an opening is made directly in the reaction chamber, the foam will enter the third chamber 131 through the third branch 163, causing the third chamber 131 to be damp, and the pump body 14 inside will easily corrode.

[0062] Specifically, as shown in the attached document Figure 1-3As shown, the housing 13 includes a cover plate 17, a base 18, and a base 19. The cover plate 17 and the base 18 cooperate to form a third chamber 131, and the base 18 and the base 19 cooperate to form a fourth chamber 20. The first storage device 11 and the second storage device 12 are housed in the fourth chamber 20. The first storage device 11 and the second storage device are independently configured and are respectively connected to the base 18. The connection method can be a threaded connection, a snap-fit ​​connection, or other connection methods. The housing 13 forms a fixed unit with the pump body 14, the first storage device 11, and the second storage device 12, creating a single unit at the factory. Customers can use it without assembly, making operation simpler and improving user convenience.

[0063] Specifically, the first channel 15 and the second channel 16 are disposed on the base 18. During the manufacturing process, such as injection molding, the base 18 forms the first channel 15 and the second channel 16, creating a seamless, integrated design that eliminates the need for wiring and simplifies operation. It should be noted that the first channel 15 and the second channel 16 form five through holes communicating with the outside, which can be sealed using plugs. Alternatively, those skilled in the art can also achieve a sealing effect using other sealing devices.

[0064] Specifically, the cover plate 17 and the base 18 form a sealed third chamber 131, where the sealing method can be a sealing ring or other sealing structure.

[0065] Specifically, it also includes a regulating valve 21, which is housed in the third chamber 131 and located between the first branch 161 and the output end. The regulating valve 21 provides control over the output end.

[0066] Specifically, it also includes a control module 22, which controls the operation of the pump body 14. The control module 22 can be housed in the third chamber 131 or located outside the third chamber 131. The control module 22 can be located inside or outside the housing 13. Here, the control module 22 can control the pump body 14 through a microcontroller or other programs, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail. In this embodiment, the control module 22 is a circuit board, and the circuit board is also equipped with a sensor for detecting air pressure to monitor the air pressure value in real time.

[0067] Specifically, the control unit can be controlled via Bluetooth, an app, a local area network (LAN), or the Internet of Things (IoT). Bluetooth, apps, LANs, and IoT can all provide control, allowing operators to achieve rapid control through different methods.

[0068] Specifically, the fourth chamber 20 can also be equipped with an LED light, which is electrically connected to the control unit. The control unit can control the LED light to work, and the LED light can provide illumination in low-light environments.

[0069] Specifically, the power supply voltage of the control unit can be DC or AC, or 220V, 36V, 24V, or 12V. Example 2

[0070] This embodiment provides a carbon dioxide reaction apparatus, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 8 As shown, the difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that Embodiment 2 also includes a connecting pipe 23. The housing 13, the first reservoir 11, and the second reservoir 12 are independently configured. The connecting pipe 23 connects the first chamber 111, the second chamber 121, and the third chamber 131. Here, the connecting pipe 23 is a gas passage. The configuration of the connecting pipe 23 forms a connection between the first chamber 111, the second chamber 121, and the third chamber 131, ensuring equal gas pressure among the three chambers. Here, the connecting pipe 23 can be a gas pipe. In addition, it should be noted that liquid flow is also included, that is, acid flows into the second chamber 121 through the pipe and the pump body 14. Example 3

[0071] This embodiment provides a carbon dioxide reaction apparatus, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 9-10 As shown, the difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 1 is that Embodiment 3 also includes a connector 24, which connects the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 121, and the pump body 14 is housed in the first chamber 111 or in the second chamber 121. Example 4

[0072] This embodiment provides a carbon dioxide reaction apparatus, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 11-13As shown, the difference between Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 1 is that Embodiment 3 also includes a housing 13 and a fixing member 25. The fixing member 25 is located in the third chamber 131 and is connected to the base 18. The fixing member 25 has a fifth chamber 251, in which the pump body 14 is housed. Part of the pump body 14 extends into the fifth chamber 251, forming a seal within it. The remaining portion of the pump body 14 is located within the third chamber 131. Therefore, the fifth chamber 251 is an independent, sealed chamber, and there is no communication between the fifth chamber 251 and the third chamber 131. In this embodiment, the front end of the pump body 14 extends to engage with the fifth chamber 251, and the air pressure of the pump body 14's operating environment is the air pressure of the fifth chamber 251. Those skilled in the art should know that sealing the fifth chamber 251 can be achieved through various means, such as applying adhesive or using a sealing structure. The housing 13 has a first channel 15 and a second channel 16. The first channel 15 connects the pump body 14 with the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 121, allowing liquid flow. The pump body 14 injects acid from the first chamber 111 into the second chamber 121. The second channel 16 connects the first chamber 111, the second chamber 121, and the fifth chamber 251, allowing gas flow and creating an isobaric effect among the chambers. The fixing member 25 and the pump body 14 form a modular structure, facilitating installation and fixation, simplifying the structure and reducing manufacturing difficulty. Here, the first channel 15 and the second channel 16 are pipes, connected by joints to form gas or liquid flow channels. Furthermore, the volume of the fifth chamber 251 is much smaller than that of the third chamber 131. The advantage of a smaller volume is that it reduces air interference. Before the reaction begins, both the third chamber 131 and the fifth chamber 251 contain air (not a vacuum environment). Therefore, the initial air has an impact on the concentration of carbon dioxide produced by the reaction. However, since the fifth chamber 251 has a smaller volume, the volume of air is also smaller, resulting in a higher concentration of carbon dioxide delivered from the entire device. During the initial use, the customer does not need to remove waste gas (low-concentration gas).

[0073] Specifically, the fastener 25 extends through the third chamber 131 to the fourth chamber 20, and a pressure relief valve 26 is fixed to the portion of the fastener 25 extending into the fifth chamber 251. The pressure relief valve 26 closes the lower end of the fifth chamber 251. The function of the pressure relief valve 26 is to prevent liquid leakage into the fifth chamber 251 during use. By opening the pressure relief valve 26, a drainage operation can be performed, thereby extending the service life of the fastener 25.

[0074] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
