Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of aquarium filtration technology, specifically a U-shaped aquarium flow guiding filtration device. Background Technology
[0002] An aquarium is a glass container used to keep aquatic life and serves an ornamental purpose. As people's living standards improve, more and more people enjoy aquatic life in their leisure time, and aquariums have become popular home decorations. The water in an aquarium needs to be kept clean to ensure the health of the aquatic organisms. Currently, most aquariums on the market come with a water filtration system to ensure water quality. This filtration system typically involves first physically filtering the water through filter cotton to remove waste and impurities, and then filtering the water through biological filter media that supports the growth of nitrifying bacteria.
[0003] However, the filtration efficiency of existing filtration systems needs improvement. Specifically, when water flows into the filter box containing filter cotton, some water may flow down the inner wall. This water, not fully filtered by the filter cotton, carries impurities that flow back into the aquarium through the gap between the bottom of the filter cotton and the filter box, thus affecting the physical filtration effect. After physical filtration, the water flows through the biological filter media. In some existing filtration systems, the water flow is relatively concentrated when exiting the filter, failing to fall evenly onto the biological filter media, resulting in a need to improve the biological filtration effect as well. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a U-shaped aquarium flow-guiding filter device, which can improve the physical and biological filtration effect of water in the aquarium through an improved structural design.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:
[0006] A U-shaped aquarium flow guiding and filtration device includes a filter box and a top cover. The top cover is movably installed on the filter box. The bottom of the filter box has several flow guiding holes. Filter cotton is placed in the filter box. The top cover includes a flow guiding plate. A side wall is fixedly connected to the edge of the flow guiding plate. A water outlet window is opened in the middle of the flow guiding plate. A handle is fixedly connected to the flow guiding plate. A water inlet is provided on one side of the top cover.
[0007] The upper cover has connection holes on both sides.
[0008] The water inlet includes or can be any one of the following: a water inlet.
[0009] The filter box is provided with elastic connecting strips on both sides, and the elastic connecting strips are provided with limiting protrusions.
[0010] The guide plate has an inclined angle, and the height of the guide plate gradually decreases from the edge towards the center of the water inlet window.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0012] This invention guides water flow through a baffle plate, directing the water into the filter box via the drain window. This ensures the water flows fully over the physical filter cotton and then down through the guide holes at the bottom of the filter box, guaranteeing a uniform drop onto the biological filter media. This prevents water from flowing down the inner wall of the filter box without being filtered by the filter cotton, thus improving the filtration of waste and impurities in the aquarium. After physical filtration, the water then flows evenly onto the biological filter media through several guide holes evenly spaced at the bottom of the filter box, enhancing the reproduction efficiency of nitrifying bacteria.

[0017] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.
[0018] Combined with appendix Figures 1-3A U-shaped aquarium flow-guiding filtration device includes a filter box 1 and a top cover 2. The top cover 2 is movably mounted on the filter box 1. The bottom of the filter box 1 has several flow-guiding holes 10. Filter cotton is placed in the filter box 1. The top cover 2 includes a flow-guiding plate 21. A side wall 22 is fixedly connected to the edge of the flow-guiding plate 21. A drain window 210 is opened in the middle of the flow-guiding plate 21. A handle 23 is fixedly connected to the flow-guiding plate 21. A water inlet 20 is provided on one side of the top cover 2. The handle 23 is located directly above the drain window 210. The protruding handle design makes it easy to pick up the top cover and replace the filter cotton in the filter box 1. The flow-guiding holes 10 allow the water filtered by the filter cotton in the filter box 1 to flow evenly onto the biological filter media below the filter box 1.
[0019] The upper cover 2 has connection holes 200 on both sides.
[0020] The water inlet 20 includes either 201 or a hanging water inlet 202. The two types of water inlets 20 can be used in different application scenarios; the open water inlet 201 is designed to allow water to flow directly onto the guide plate 21 when the device is placed in a specific position in the aquarium, and then enter the filter box 1 through the drain window 210; the hanging water inlet 202 has an end that is higher than the edge of the guide plate 21 and bends downward to form a hanging groove, so that it can be hung on a suitable position on the glass partition in the aquarium; the upper end of the hanging water inlet 202 is lower than the side wall 22, so that water can flow into the top cover 2 from this side.
[0021] The filter box 1 is provided with elastic connecting strips 100 on both sides, and each elastic connecting strip 100 has a limiting protrusion 101. The elastic connecting strip 100 is adapted to the connecting hole 200. After the elastic connecting strip 100 is inserted into the connecting hole 200, the limiting protrusion 101 can maintain the installation state of the upper cover 2 and the filter box 1. The connecting hole 200 has openings on both sides. When removing the upper cover 2, press the elastic connecting strip 100 in the opening area to make the limiting protrusion 101 disengage from the limiting position, and then remove the upper cover 2 to remove the elastic connecting strip 100 from the connecting hole 200.
[0022] The guide plate 21 has an inclined angle, and its height gradually decreases from the edge towards the center of the drain window 210. The inclined angle of the guide plate 21 ensures that the water flows more smoothly into the drain window 210 and then into the filter box 1 for filtration.
[0023] When using this device, place filter cotton in the filter box 1, ensuring the filter cotton completely covers the area of the guide hole 10. Install the top cover 2 on the filter box 1 and place the device in a specific area of the aquarium. Water flows through the guide plate 21 and into the filter box 1 through the drain window 210, ensuring that the water flows fully over the physical filter cotton and then flows down through the guide hole 10 at the bottom of the filter box 1. This ensures that the water flows evenly onto the biological filter media below the filter box 1, preventing the water from flowing down the inner wall of the filter box without being filtered by the filter cotton. This improves the filtration effect of excrement and impurities in the aquarium. After physical filtration, the water flows through several evenly spaced guide holes at the bottom of the filter box, allowing the water to fall very evenly onto the biological filter media, which can improve the reproduction efficiency of nitrifying bacteria.
[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
