Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of aquarium water purification technology, specifically to the field of a high-efficiency and compact aquarium purification device. Background Technology

[0002] In the aquarium industry, small aquarium filters are crucial for maintaining water quality and ensuring fish health. Traditional small aquarium filters typically employ simple designs and basic filter media, such as sponge filters. This filtration method relies primarily on physical filtration mechanisms, using sponges to intercept large particles and suspended solids in the water, but its effectiveness in removing dissolved harmful substances (such as ammonia nitrogen and nitrite) is limited.

[0003] In response, some manufacturers have implemented adsorption-based purification methods such as activated carbon and ceramic rings, as well as water purification techniques like UV sterilization. However, when used in small aquariums, such as those under 60L, multiple purification devices present at least the following problems.

[0004] Firstly, implementing multiple purification methods takes up too much space and affects the aesthetics. This is because small aquariums often have a countertop design without a separate filter housing, meaning the filter would occupy internal space within the viewing area. Secondly, traditional filters have a square, progressive design, resulting in a layered structure within the aquarium. This causes pressure loss within the filter chamber during filtration, leading to low filter layer coverage and reduced purification efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need for filters that can achieve high-efficiency purification for small aquariums while minimizing their impact on appearance. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the aforementioned needs, this application proposes a high-efficiency, compact aquarium purification device, which aims to achieve efficient purification within a compact space through the effective layout of the filter system.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present application adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A high-efficiency and compact aquarium purification device includes a cylindrical cavity and a cover. The cavity has a water inlet on one side and a water outlet on the other side. A filtration purification cavity, an adsorption purification cavity, and a sterilization buffer cavity are arranged sequentially around the cavity along the water flow direction from the water inlet to the water outlet.

[0009] A sterilizing lamp is provided between the adsorption purification chamber and the sterilization buffer chamber, and the water outlet is a pipe-type water outlet.

[0010] In this way, by arranging a purification chamber for filtration, adsorption, and sterilization around the cylindrical cavity, the purified water flows through the purification chamber in a ring shape, reducing the flow rate and pressure loss, while increasing the contact area and improving the purification effect.

[0011] Furthermore, a sterilization buffer chamber is set up after filtration and adsorption purification, and a sterilization lamp is installed in the chamber. The water outlet is set as a pipe-type outlet. This allows the water after filtration and adsorption to flow slowly through the sterilization lamp instead of being discharged directly. Instead, the water has a slow flow process in the sterilization buffer chamber, allowing the water to fully contact the ultraviolet sterilization lamp for sterilization, thereby further improving the sterilization effect.

[0012] In some possible implementations, the sterilization buffer chamber is equipped with a drain pump connected to the water outlet.

[0013] In some possible implementations, the sterilization buffer chamber is provided with an electrical control board chamber for controlling the electrical control components of the drainage pump and the sterilization lamp, and the electrical control board chamber is provided with waterproof potting compound.

[0014] In some possible implementations, the cover includes an outer cover covering the filtration and purification chamber and the adsorption and purification chamber, and an inner cover covering the sterilization buffer chamber. The outer cover is provided with an easily removable buckle, and the inner cover is provided with an anti-pry insert buckle at the outer cover and its outer edge is covered by the outer cover.

[0015] In some possible implementations, the inner cover is provided with a waterproof partition between the filtration purification chamber, the adsorption purification chamber and the sterilization buffer chamber.

[0016] In some possible implementations, the adsorption purification chamber uses protein cotton for adsorption and filtration, and the protein cotton is provided with a mesh box that can be embedded in the adsorption purification chamber.

[0017] In some possible implementations, the filtration and purification chamber uses a shapeable filter material, and a positioning partition is provided between the filtration and purification chamber and the adsorption and purification chamber.

[0018] In some possible implementations, a drain pipe connected to the outlet is also included.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, the drain pipe includes a straight pipe directly connected to the outlet and an extension sleeve connected to the straight pipe and capable of being extended and / or reversing.

[0020] In some possible implementations, the lower end of the cavity is provided with a suction cup. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The following examples further illustrate the features of this application and other related features in detail, so as to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art:

[0027] It should be noted that the terms “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down” used in the following description refer to the directions in the attached diagrams, while the terms “bottom surface,” “top surface,” “inner,” and “outer” refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0028] Furthermore, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this case based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The high-efficiency, compact aquarium purification device of this application adopts a cylindrical cavity 1 with a cover 2 on top. To achieve high-efficiency purification while minimizing impact on the aquarium's internal space, this application employs a single-layer cylindrical design, significantly reducing space requirements compared to traditional square progressive purification methods. Specifically, a water inlet 11 is located on one side of the cavity 1, and a water outlet 12 is located on the other side. The water inlet 11 uses multiple grid-like inlet holes, while the water outlet 12 is a pipe-type outlet. In practical applications, a drainage device can be installed outside or inside the water outlet 12 to circulate water within the cavity 1, creating a negative pressure water flow and resulting in a more uniform purification effect.

[0030] Please refer to the reference. Figure 3Inside the cavity 1, along the water flow direction from the inlet 11 to the outlet 12, there are sequentially arranged a filtration and purification cavity 3, an adsorption and purification cavity 4, and a sterilization and buffer cavity 5. Each cavity is separated by a water-flowable positioning partition, which is mainly used for the separation and positioning of the contents. This will not be described in detail.

[0031] Specifically, the filtration and purification chamber 3 uses a shapeable filter material 31, such as a sponge. The adsorption and purification chamber 4 uses protein cotton for adsorption and filtration, and the protein cotton is equipped with a mesh box 41 into which adsorption and purification can be embedded. The outer periphery of the mesh box 41 is provided with grid-like inlet and outlet water holes.

[0032] Protein cotton, also known as "protein cotton filter media" or "adsorbent cotton," is a high-molecular polymer material. Its main function is to remove organic matter, pigments, drug residues, and some heavy metal ions from water through physical and chemical adsorption, thereby purifying the water. Its purpose is to effectively remove organic matter from water, thus helping to maintain clean and healthy water quality. Protein cotton is typically made of polyester fibers or other synthetic fibers. These materials have excellent adsorption properties and a large specific surface area, enabling them to effectively capture organic waste and suspended particles in water.

[0033] The conventional application of protein cotton involves encapsulating fine particles in a mesh. However, when used in water purification, the mesh itself becomes clogged over time, affecting the effectiveness of the protein cotton. Therefore, this application uses larger protein cotton particles and employs a 41-pack mesh box for better shaping, thus improving the water purification effect. This ensures sufficient water flow while enhancing the purification efficiency.

[0034] Thus, by circling the cylindrical cavity 1 with a purification chamber for filtration, adsorption, and sterilization, the purified water path passes through the purification chamber in a ring shape, reducing the flow rate and pressure loss, while increasing the contact area and improving the purification effect.

[0035] Furthermore, a germicidal lamp 51 is provided between the adsorption purification chamber 4 and the sterilization buffer chamber 5. Specifically, it can be located inside the sterilization buffer chamber 5, near the adsorption purification chamber 4. The germicidal lamp 51 can use ultraviolet light from a UV lamp tube for sterilization. The germicidal lamp 51 can be placed horizontally to increase the water flow area. Combined with the pipe-type design of the outlet 12, the water after filtration and adsorption is not discharged directly through the germicidal lamp 51, but rather flows slowly within the sterilization buffer chamber 5, further improving the sterilization effect.

[0036] As mentioned above, this application aims to improve space utilization, and therefore a drain pump 6 can be built into the sterilization buffer chamber 5. The drain pump 6 is connected to the water outlet 12. Since the drain pump 6 is built into the chamber, the sterilization lamp 51 and the drain pump 6 are the only devices that require electricity. In the non-water flow area of ​​the sterilization buffer chamber 5, that is, on the other side of the circumference of the sterilization lamp 51, an electrical control board cavity 52 is set up, which houses electrical control components (not shown in the figure). Waterproofing is applied to the electrical control board cavity 52. ​​Applying adhesive as a waterproofing measure is a common technical method in the industry, and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] As mentioned above, the small purification chamber is equipped with filters, adsorption, sterilization, drainage pump 6, and electronic control components. Therefore, the design of the cover 2 needs to take into account positioning, waterproofing, and ease of disassembly.

[0038] Please refer to the following for details. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cover 2 includes an outer cover 21 covering the filtration and purification chamber 3 and the adsorption and purification chamber 4, and an inner cover 22 covering the sterilization and buffer chamber 5. The outer cover 21 is designed with an easy-to-remove buckle 211, which facilitates the removal and replacement of the internal filter and adsorption components through a shallow snap-fit. The inner cover 22 has an anti-lifting snap 221 facing the outer cover 21, and its extension is covered by the outer cover 21. That is, the anti-lifting snap 221 can be a deep snap-fit ​​that penetrates the partition, which is not easy to remove, and can be covered by the outer cover 21 without affecting its appearance.

[0039] Meanwhile, the inner cover 22 is provided with a waterproof partition 222 between the filtration and purification chamber 3, the adsorption and purification chamber 4, and the sterilization buffer chamber 5. The anti-tilting insert buckle 221, as described above, can be provided on the waterproof partition 222. Of course, a waterproof enclosure 223 is also provided around the electrical control board cavity 52. ​​In some embodiments, a waterproof gasket can be provided at the contact position between the cover 2 and the cavity 1, mainly to increase the waterproof effect. This is a common technical means in the industry and will not be described in detail.

[0040] In some embodiments, the water purified by the purification device described above may be guided during discharge. Please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The purification device of this application also includes a drain pipe 7 connected to the outlet 12. Specifically, the drain pipe 7 may include a straight pipe 71 directly connected to the outlet 12 and an extension sleeve 72 sleeved to the straight pipe 71. The extension sleeve 72 may extend or change the direction of the straight pipe 71, and of course, it may extend the length while changing the direction.

[0041] Furthermore, a suction cup 8 can be added to its lower end to attach to the bottom or side of the aquarium's inner wall, increasing the options for use.

[0042] As stated above, this case protects a highly efficient and compact aquarium purification device, and all technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this case should be considered to fall within the scope of protection of this case.
