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.
[0028] Example:
[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel aquarium filtration device, comprising:
[0030] Filter 1 includes a filter housing 11 and filter media components. An inlet 12 and an outlet 13 are provided at the upper end of the filter housing 11. An inlet chamber 14 and an outlet chamber 15 are defined inside the filter housing 11. The upper end of the inlet chamber 14 is connected to the inlet 12, and the lower end of the inlet chamber 14 is connected to the lower end of the outlet chamber 15. The upper end of the outlet chamber 15 is connected to the outlet 13. The outlet 13 is correspondingly arranged to guide the filtered water into the aquarium. The filter media components are respectively arranged in the inlet chamber 14 and the outlet chamber 15.
[0031] Water supply pipe 2, the upper end of water supply pipe 2 is connected to water inlet 12, and water inlet 21 is provided on water supply pipe 2;
[0032] Water pump 4 is located at the lower end of water supply pipe 2, and the outlet of water pump 4 is connected to the lower end of water supply pipe 2.
[0033] In this embodiment, the filter 1 is hung on the outer wall of the fish tank. An inlet 12 and an outlet 13 are provided at the upper end of the filter housing 11. An inlet chamber 14 and an outlet chamber 15 are defined within the filter housing 11. The upper end of the inlet chamber 14 is connected to the inlet 12, and the lower end of the inlet chamber 14 is connected to the lower end of the outlet chamber 15. The upper end of the outlet chamber 15 is connected to the outlet 13. The upper end of the water supply pipe 2 is connected to the inlet 12, and an inlet 21 is provided on the water supply pipe 2. Water from the fish tank is pumped through the water supply pipe by the operation of the water pump 4. Water enters the water supply pipe 2 through inlet 21, and then enters the water inlet chamber 14 through inlet 12. As the water flows downward in the water inlet chamber 14, the filter media purifies the downward-flowing water. The purified water enters the water outlet chamber 15 from the bottom of the outlet chamber 15, and then continues to flow into the fish tank through outlet 13. This effectively improves the purification effect. Its structure is simple and easy to install, which can effectively avoid the problem of the oil film floating parts drifting away, and at the same time, it can further reduce the production cost of the product.
[0034] Furthermore, it also includes a water-blocking component 3, which has a water inlet 22 connected to the water inlet of the water pump 4 on the front wall of the lower end of the water pipe 2. The water-blocking component 3 is movably installed at the water inlet 22. The water-blocking component 3 is moved by external force to open or close the water inlet 22 to adjust the water inlet direction.
[0035] Preferably, the water-blocking assembly 3 includes a water-blocking plate 31 and an adjusting rod 32. A water pipe 23 is connected at the lower end of the water supply pipe 2, and a water inlet 22 is located on the water pipe 23. The water-blocking plate 31 is vertically and flexibly installed at the water inlet 22. An adjusting groove 24 is provided on the outer wall of the water pipe 23. One end of the adjusting rod 32 is connected to the water-blocking plate 31, and the other end extends outward after passing through the adjusting groove 24. The adjusting rod 32 is driven by external force to slide up and down along the adjusting groove 24, thereby causing the adjusting rod 32 to drive the water-blocking plate 31 to control the opening and closing of the water inlet 22.
[0036] In this embodiment, a water pipe 23 is connected to the lower end of the water supply pipe 2. A water inlet 22 is provided on the end of the water pipe 23 away from the water supply pipe 2. A baffle plate 31 is movably and heightily installed at the water inlet 22. An adjustment groove 24 is provided on the outer wall of the water pipe 23. One end of the adjustment rod 32 is connected to the baffle plate 31, and the other end extends outward after passing through the adjustment groove 24. The adjustment rod 32 is driven by external force to slide up and down along the adjustment groove 24, thereby causing the adjustment rod 32 to drive the baffle plate 31 to control the opening and closing of the water inlet 22. At the same time, since the water inlet 21 is set to a normally open state, the water inlet direction of the water supply pipe 2 is adjusted by opening and closing the water inlet 22. Specifically, when the adjusting rod 32 moves from bottom to top, it drives the baffle plate 31 to open the water inlet 22, thereby connecting the upper water inlet 21 with the internal space of the upper water pipe 2, and connecting the water inlet 22 with the water inlet end of the upper water pipe 2. Since the water inlet 22 is located at the bottom of the aquarium and the upper water inlet 21 is located on the water surface, after the water pump 4 starts working, under the action of water pressure, the water in the aquarium will preferentially enter the upper water pipe 2 through the water inlet 22, and the upper water inlet 21 will also simultaneously receive water for suction. In addition to removing the oil film on the surface of the water in the aquarium, when the adjusting rod 32 moves from top to bottom, the adjusting rod 32 drives the baffle plate 31 to close the water inlet 22, thereby cutting off the channel between the water inlet 22 and the water inlet of the water pipe 2. At the same time, since the water inlet 21 is normally open, water in the aquarium can enter the water pipe 2 through the water inlet 21, thereby removing the oil film on the surface of the water in the aquarium. This effectively solves the problems of difficult water supply, difficult machine start-up, and difficult restart after power failure of the wall-mounted aquarium filter 1.
[0037] Furthermore, the filter 1 also includes multiple filter baskets 25, with filter media components respectively disposed in the multiple filter baskets 25. The multiple filter baskets 25 are stacked in sequence along the vertical direction in the internal space of the filter shell 11 to divide the internal space of the filter shell 11 into two independent water inlet chambers 14 and water outlet chambers 15.
[0038] Preferably, a plurality of through holes 26 are provided on the bottom wall of each filter basket 25 so that two adjacent filter baskets 25 are connected to each other.
[0039] Specifically, each filter basket 25 has a bayonet 27 on its opposite side walls at the upper end, and a fastener 28 protrudes from each filter basket 25 on its opposite side walls at the lower end. The fastener 28 and the bayonet 27 are connected to each other so that two adjacent filter baskets 25 are snapped together.
[0040] Furthermore, the filter 1 also includes a top cover 16, with the top of the filter housing 11 being open, and the top cover 16 being detachably mounted on the open end of the filter 1.
[0041] Specifically, protrusions 17 are provided on opposite sides inside the filter housing 11, and grooves 29 are correspondingly recessed on each filter basket 25. The grooves 29 and protrusions 17 are connected to each other to limit the displacement of the filter basket 25.
[0042] In this embodiment, multiple filter baskets 25 are stacked sequentially inside the filter housing 11, forming an outlet chamber 15 between the outer wall of the filter basket 25 and the inner wall of the filter housing 11. The space inside the filter basket 25 forms an inlet chamber 14, and the bottom of the inlet chamber 14 and the bottom of the outlet chamber 15 are interconnected. Furthermore, the installation height of the inlet 12 is higher than that of the outlet 13, preventing mutual interference between the inlet and outlet water. Additionally, since each filter basket 25 contains a filter media component, and the multiple filter baskets 25 are stacked vertically inside the filter housing 11 with adjacent baskets interlocking, this facilitates the installation and removal of the filter media components within the filter housing 11, further improving the user experience. More preferably, the filter media components are made of filter screens, filter media, filter cotton, and / or activated carbon, but are 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.
[0043] Specifically, it also includes at least one extension pipe 5, which is detachably mounted on the water supply pipe 2 to extend the length of the water supply pipe 2.
[0044] In this embodiment, the upper end of the water supply pipe 2 is connected to the filter housing 11, and a connecting pipe is provided at the lower end of the water supply pipe 2. The water pump 4 is installed inside the connecting pipe, and the front end of the connecting pipe is connected to the water passage pipe 23. Thus, by detachably adding at least one extension pipe 5 at the middle position between the lower end of the water supply pipe 2 and the upper end of the connecting pipe, the length of the water supply pipe 2 is extended so that the filter device can be adapted to fish tanks of different water depths.
[0045] 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.
