[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

[0021] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the present invention;

[0022] Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the water pump body;

[0023] Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of the water pump body;

[0024] Figure 4 This is an exploded view of the external control box. Detailed Implementation

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides an intelligent aquarium water pump, which includes an electrically connected pump body 1 and an external control box 2. The external control box 2 is separately installed from the pump body 1. This design allows users to easily adjust the pump's operating parameters without directly operating the underwater pump body, greatly improving operational convenience and safety.

[0027] Structure of external control box

[0028] The external control box 2 includes a metal housing 21 (e.g., aluminum alloy), a control circuit board 22 housed within the housing 21, and heat dissipation fins 23 on the back of the housing 21. The metal housing 21 effectively dissipates heat and prevents electronic components from getting damp. The heat dissipation fins 23 on the back of the housing 21 increase the heat dissipation area, efficiently dissipating the heat generated by the control circuit board 22 during operation, effectively extending the lifespan of the control circuit and improving system stability.

[0029] The top of the back of the box 21 is also provided with hooks or hanging holes 24, which makes it easy for users to hang the control box on the edge of the fish tank or on the nearby wall, saving space and making daily operation and observation convenient.

[0030] The external control box 2 is also connected to a power cord 25 to provide power support for the entire system.

[0031] To provide an intuitive user interface, the external control box 2 is equipped with a display screen 26 and control buttons to display the water pump's operating status and parameters, and to provide a human-machine interface for user operation. The display screen 26 can display key information such as the water pump's operating status, water temperature, and operating time in real time, enabling users to intuitively understand and control the water pump's operating status.

[0032] Intelligent control function

[0033] The control circuit board 22 is equipped with an intelligent pause function module, which is used to automatically pause the water pump under preset conditions or temporarily pause the water pump according to user instructions. This function can protect the water pump and the aquarium ecosystem under certain circumstances, avoiding potential problems caused by prolonged continuous operation or abnormal conditions.

[0034] Specifically, the intelligent pause function module includes a timer and a temperature sensor. The system automatically triggers the pause function when it detects that the water pump has been operating continuously for more than a preset time or that the water temperature is abnormal. This design prevents the water pump from overheating or suffering damage due to prolonged operation, while also protecting the aquarium organisms in case of abnormal water temperature.

[0035] To meet the demands of the Internet of Things (IoT) era, the external control box 2 is also equipped with a wireless communication module for remote control. This module allows users to monitor and adjust the water pump's operating status using mobile devices (such as smartphones or tablets), enabling management of the aquarium water pump anytime, anywhere, greatly improving ease of use.

[0036] Structure of the water pump body

[0037] The water pump body 1 includes a housing 11, within which a motor housing 12 is housed, and within the motor housing 12 is a motor body 13. An impeller 14 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor body 13 to generate water flow power. A water-collecting cover 15, which is conical, is provided at the lower end of the housing 11 to cover the impeller 14. The water-collecting cover 15 has a water inlet 151 in its central part, and the impeller 14 is located directly above the water inlet 151. This structural design ensures that the water flow can be efficiently guided to the impeller, improving the pump's operating efficiency.

[0038] To prevent foreign objects from entering the water pump and affecting its normal operation, a filter basket 16 is installed at the lower end of the water collection cover 15. The side wall of the filter basket 16 has an array of filter holes 161. Water enters from the side of the filter basket 16, passes through the filter holes 161 to filter out impurities and larger particles in the water, and then converges at the inlet 151 before entering the water collection cover 15. This design not only protects the key components inside the water pump but also avoids damage caused by blockage by foreign objects.

[0039] Special water flow channel design

[0040] The inner wall of the housing 11 and the outer wall of the motor housing 12 form an annular water channel 111 with a vortex reduction structure. The upper end of the housing 11 is provided with a water outlet 112, and a water outlet pipe 17 is connected to the water outlet 112. The vortex reduction structure is a special structure designed in a fluid channel to reduce or eliminate vortices generated during fluid movement.

[0041] In water pumps or piping systems, eddies typically cause the following problems: energy loss and reduced efficiency, increased noise and vibration, erosion and wear of internal wall materials, and uneven fluid flow, affecting overall performance. This invention effectively solves these problems by employing a special eddy current reduction structure.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the eddy current reduction structure is as follows: the shell 11 is gourd-shaped, that is, the water channel 111 is curved and has a gradually changing cross-section, and the inner wall is smooth. This gradually changing cross-section design avoids abrupt changes in the channel cross-sectional area, and the smooth inner wall profile reduces water flow resistance and turbulence, making the water flow more stable, thereby improving the working efficiency of the water pump and reducing energy consumption and noise.

[0043] In addition to the preferred embodiments described above, the eddy current reduction structure can also take the following forms:

[0044] 1. Guide vanes: Installed inside the water channel, they guide the water flow along the desired path and reduce turbulence;

[0045] 2. Spiral channel: Allows water to flow smoothly along a spiral path, preventing eddies caused by sharp turns;

[0046] 3. Labyrinthine structure: Specially designed complex channels can disperse and reorganize water flow, reducing eddy formation;

[0047] 4. Honeycomb mesh: Composed of evenly distributed small channels, it makes the water flow more regular and reduces turbulence.

[0048] Through the design of the vortex reduction structure described above, the intelligent aquarium water pump of this invention effectively reduces noise and energy consumption while maintaining efficient water circulation, improves the service life of the water pump, and creates a more stable water environment for the aquarium.
