Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquarium filtration technology, and in particular to a novel aquarium filtration system. Background Technology

[0002] The main purpose of an aquarium filtration system is to remove waste such as feces and food scraps from the water, keeping the water clear, oxygenated, and free of harmful substances, thus providing a good living environment for fish. Common types of filtration systems include top-circulation filters, trickle filters, sump filters, canister filters, hang-on filters, and built-in filters. Existing filtration systems typically discharge wastewater directly onto the filter screen and media, requiring frequent media replacements and easily clogging the screens, significantly impacting filtration efficiency. Various impurities can also clog pipes, slowing down water flow. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, to address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a novel aquarium filtration system. It solves the technical problems of poor filtration efficiency and easy pipe clogging in existing aquarium filtration systems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A novel aquarium filtration system includes a support frame, a sedimentation chamber mounted on the support frame, a filter box, and a purified water tank. The sedimentation chamber has at least one first outlet and at least one second outlet. The first outlet is connected to a first pipe, the other end of which is connected to the aquarium's water outlet. The second outlet is connected to a second pipe, the other end of which is connected to the filter box. Water flowing out of the filter box enters the purified water tank. The purified water tank is connected to a third pipe, the other end of which is connected to the aquarium's water inlet. Water flow control components are provided on the second and third pipes.

[0006] Further:

[0007] The first inlet is located below the second inlet, and a filter screen is provided at the second inlet.

[0008] The sedimentation chamber is equipped with two inclined manure guide plates with their bottoms close to each other. A third opening is located at the bottom of the sedimentation chamber between the two manure guide plates. The third opening is connected to a water outlet pipe, and a first valve is provided on the water outlet pipe to control the opening and closing of the water outlet pipe.

[0009] The water flow control component includes a first float valve installed on a second pipe. The second pipe bends downwards into the water purification tank and then bends upwards to extend above the filter box. The float of the first float valve floats on the water surface of the water purification tank. The first float valve can control the amount of water flowing into the aquarium.

[0010] The water flow control component also includes a second float valve located on the third pipe. The float of the second float valve floats on the water surface of the water tank and can control the amount of water entering the fish tank.

[0011] The filter box contains at least one retractable filter plate, each filter plate has multiple mesh holes, the filter plate is covered with filter cotton, and the bottom of the filter box has multiple through holes.

[0012] The bracket is equipped with a housing, and the sedimentation chamber, filter box, and purified water tank are all located inside the housing. The housing is equipped with a door.

[0013] The sedimentation tank sidewall is provided with at least one fourth port, and a sealing plug is detachably installed on the fourth port.

[0014] A second valve is installed on the first pipeline.

[0015] The bottom of the water tank is provided with a cleaning port, which is connected to a cleaning pipe. A third valve is provided on the cleaning pipe, which controls the opening and closing of the cleaning pipe.

[0016] By adopting the aforementioned technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention features rapid water drainage. The sedimentation chamber is located at the front of the filter box, allowing suspended solids such as feces and large particles to settle to the bottom through gravity, preventing them from entering the subsequent filter box. This reduces the likelihood of clogging in the second and third pipes, lessening the burden on the filter media and eliminating the need for frequent replacements, significantly reducing costs and the frequency and difficulty of filter box cleaning. The combined effect of the sedimentation chamber and filter box greatly enhances filtration efficiency, resulting in significantly improved and stable water quality in the purified water tank, contributing to the healthy growth of fish. Furthermore, the first inlet is located below the second inlet, facilitating rapid sedimentation of feces and other impurities to the bottom. A filter screen is also installed above the second inlet, ensuring that the water exiting the second inlet is free of large particles. Additionally, a feces guide plate helps to concentrate feces and other impurities in one place, preventing them from scattering and facilitating subsequent cleaning. When cleaning the sedimentation tank, opening the first valve allows feces and wastewater to drain out, facilitating waste removal. Then, opening the sealing plug allows you to insert cleaning brushes and other tools into the fourth port to clean the inside of the sedimentation tank. Furthermore, the rising and falling of the first and second float valves automatically adjusts the water flow according to water level changes, maintaining the aquarium water level within a set range. This is convenient, practical, and effectively prevents overflow. The second and third pipes are free of large particles, preventing blockage of the first and second float valves. Additionally, the pull-out filter plate makes filter cotton replacement easy. Furthermore, the second valve on the first pipe prevents water from flowing into the sedimentation tank during cleaning, eliminating the need to move fish and reducing fish mortality. Finally, when the tank is closed, the internal structure is hidden, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and overall appearance. Attached Figure Description
