Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to gas device, in particular to a kind of carbon dioxide generating device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of aquatic breeding, especially in the breeding environment of fish tank and grass tank, carbon dioxide plays a crucial role in the growth of aquatic plants. Adequate carbon dioxide supply can promote photosynthesis of aquatic plants, making them grow vigorously, and thus maintaining the balance and beauty of the aquatic ecosystem.

[0003] Currently, there are various carbon dioxide generating devices for fish tanks or grass tanks on the market, however, these existing devices generally have some problems that need to be solved. Among them, poor maintenance convenience is a more prominent problem. When performing maintenance operations on existing devices, complex disassembly and assembly steps are often required, which not only consumes time and effort, but more critically, during the maintenance process, due to the unreasonable design of the device structure, the exhaust end is easily disturbed. Once the exhaust end is disturbed, the exhaust pipe is easily detached from the grass tank, which will prevent the prepared carbon dioxide from being successfully delivered to the grass tank, making it impossible for aquatic plants to obtain sufficient carbon dioxide supply, which seriously affects the normal growth of aquatic plants, and thus destroys the stability of the entire aquatic ecosystem.

[0004] In summary, the existing carbon dioxide generating devices for fish tanks or grass tanks have obvious defects in maintenance convenience and use stability, and there is an urgent need for a new carbon dioxide generating device to solve these problems. INVENTION CONTENTS

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and 2 The carbon dioxide generating device provided in this embodiment is specially designed for supplying carbon dioxide to planted aquariums. Its unique structure and innovative working mechanism effectively overcome many problems existing in the practical application of traditional devices.

[0026] The device mainly consists of a main cup 14 and a secondary cup 16. The main cup 14 holds the first reaction liquid, while the secondary cup 16 holds the second reaction liquid. The main cup 14 is equipped with a main cup lid 6, and the secondary cup 16 is equipped with a secondary cup lid 15. The gas pipe 8 and the liquid pipe 9 are cleverly connected between the main cup lid 6 and the secondary cup lid 15. The main cup lid 6 not only has a sealing ring 7 to ensure the airtightness of the device, but also integrates control keys and a display screen 3. The controller uses touch buttons 4 for convenient operation, and the display screen 3 is a digital tube for clear and intuitive operation. The main cup lid 6 contains an electrical compartment. A lens 1 is installed on the outside of the electrical compartment cover 2, and the main control board 5 is placed inside the compartment, providing core support for the intelligent control of the device. The main cup lid 6 has flexible power supply options: it can be powered by a rechargeable battery to meet the needs of mobile use, or it can be connected to an external power source to ensure stable operation. In addition, a pressure sensor 10 is installed inside the main cup 14. This sensor is equipped with a housing 11 and a protective cover 12. The protective cover 12 can effectively isolate the reaction liquid and ensure stable operation of the sensor.

[0027] Before use, the first reaction solution mixed by citric acid and water is configured in the main cup 14, and the second reaction solution mixed by sodium bicarbonate and a small amount of water is configured in the auxiliary cup 16. After the water pump 13 is started, the first reaction solution is pumped into the auxiliary cup 16 through the liquid pipe 9 and reacts with the second reaction solution to generate carbon dioxide. Since the air pressure between the main cup 14 and the auxiliary cup 16 is balanced through the air pipe 8, the carbon dioxide generated in the auxiliary cup 16 flows into the main cup 14 through the air pipe 8 and is then discharged from the exhaust pipe 8 connected with the bubble refiner 17. The air pressure sensor 10 monitors the air pressure in the main cup 14 in real time, and when the air pressure is lower than the low threshold, the water pump 13 is automatically started to pump the reaction solution in the main cup 14 into the auxiliary cup 16; when the air pressure is higher than the high threshold, the water pump 13 is automatically stopped, so as to realize accurate control of the carbon dioxide generation process.

[0028] The device has significant advantages in maintenance and use. When waste liquid needs to be poured out after the device is used for a period of time, only the operation in the auxiliary cup 16 is needed, without moving the main cup 14, so that the exhaust pipe 8 is effectively prevented from falling off from the fish tank due to the dragging of the main cup 14, and the continuous and stable supply of carbon dioxide to the fish tank is ensured. The design that the air pipe 8 and the liquid pipe 9 are connected on the cup cover greatly facilitates the user to disassemble the main cup 14 and the auxiliary cup 16, and makes the addition of reaction solution and the cleaning operation more easy. In addition, the circuit structure is all concentrated in the electrical compartment of the main cup cover 6, so that the stable operation of the device can be ensured only by waterproof treatment of the electrical compartment, and the maintenance difficulty and cost are greatly reduced.

[0029] The installation position of the water pump 13 has flexibility, which can be arranged in the main cup 14, and at this time the liquid pipe 9 extends downward at one end of the main cup 14 and is connected with the water pump 13, or arranged in the main cup cover 6 and extends downward to the bottom of the cup through another air pipe 8. The end of the exhaust pipe 8 is connected with the bubble refiner 17, which can refine the discharged carbon dioxide gas, so that the carbon dioxide gas is uniformly dispersed in the fish tank, and the absorption and utilization of carbon dioxide by aquatic plants are more conducive, and a more suitable ecological environment for the fish tank is created.

[0030] In other embodiments, a wireless communication module can also be added in the control aspect, and the working state of the device, such as the real-time air pressure, can be remotely monitored through a mobile phone APP, and the water pump 13 can be remotely controlled to start and stop, and the high and low thresholds of the air pressure can be set. In this way, the user can conveniently manage and adjust the device even if he is not at home.

[0031] In the specification of the utility model, a large number of specific details are explained. However, it can be understood that the embodiments of the utility model can be practiced without these specific details. In some examples, well-known methods, structures and techniques are not shown in detail, so as not to obscure the understanding of the specification.

In addition, the person skilled in the art can combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in the specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples without contradiction.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, not to limit it; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and they should be covered in the scope of the claims and the specification of the present application.
