Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquarium technology, and in particular to a fish tank with a split structure. Background Technology
[0002] Fish tanks are currently the most common equipment for indoor fishkeeping. Most fish tank pumps and filters are located at the top of the tank, responsible for pumping, filtering, and distributing water, but this is inefficient and cumbersome to operate. Some fish tanks have the pump and filter designed at the bottom, but this has many drawbacks:
[0003] 1. The filtration effect of existing fish tanks is generally poor, resulting in poor water quality and increased bacteria, which affects the lifespan of fish;
[0004] 2. Excessive concavity and convexity in the tank body makes it easy for green deposits to grow on the tank body and base, affecting the normal function of the aquarium and shortening the lifespan of the fish.
[0005] 3. Dry running of the water pump shortens its lifespan;
[0006] 4. Fish are prone to escaping from the tank. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by proposing a fish tank with a split structure.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a fish tank with a split structure, the fish tank including a base and a tank body, the tank body being inserted into the base, the tank body being divided into a fish-raising space and an isolation space by an outer partition, an inner partition being provided on the inner side of the outer partition, the outer partition and the inner partition forming a first slot, the inner partition and the tank body forming a second slot, and the outer partition having overflow outlets evenly distributed through it.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a water pump is installed in the recessed part of the base, the water pump is connected to a drain pipe, and the top of the drain pipe extends through the outer partition into the fish-raising space.
[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a drainage groove is provided inside the base, and openings are provided at both ends of the drainage groove. The outer opening extends into the base, and the inner opening is located in the second empty groove.
[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the base is provided with a water purification system, which includes a water-retaining baffle plate with a radiating design inside the base.
[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the top of the fish tank is provided with a cover plate, and a light tube is installed at the bottom of the cover plate. The light tube is used for aesthetic purposes and to supplement the light source for the fish and plants inside the tank.
[0013] As a further embodiment of this invention, the upper end of the inner partition is lower than the upper end of the outer partition.
[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the outer wall of the cylinder is designed to be smooth to prevent the growth of green deposits.
[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a transparent glass observation window is provided on the surface of the base, which is used to observe the amount of water inside the base.
[0016] The beneficial effects of the split-structure fish tank proposed in this utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. The meandering channel formed by the water-blocking baffle allows large particles of impurities (such as uneaten food and fish feces) to settle naturally due to the reduced flow velocity and be trapped by the gaps in the baffle. Filter media (such as bio-cotton or ceramic rings) can be placed inside the base. As water flows through, nitrifying bacteria on the surface of the filter media convert toxic ammonia and nitrite into less toxic nitrate. Furthermore, the divergent design of the water-blocking baffle extends the water flow path, increasing the contact time between the water and the filter media and improving purification efficiency. Afterward, the water pump discharges clean water into the tank through the drain pipe, achieving self-circulation.
[0018] 2. The water pump is lowered in the base to prevent it from burning dry.
[0019] 3. The glass observation window is used to observe the water level in the base, preventing water from overflowing or becoming insufficient.
[0020] 4. The outer wall of the cylinder is designed to be smooth to prevent the growth of green deposits.
[0021] 5. The fish tank is equipped with a cover to prevent the fish from escaping from the tank. A light tube is designed at the bottom of the cover for aesthetic purposes and to supplement the light source for the fish and plants inside the tank. Attached Figure Description

For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances. The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0029] A split-structure fish tank includes a base 1 and a tank body 2. The tank body 2 is inserted into the base 1. The tank body 2 is divided into a fish-keeping space and an isolation space by an outer partition 3. An inner partition 4 is provided on the inner side of the outer partition 3. The outer partition 3 and the inner partition 4 form a first cavity 5. The inner partition 4 and the tank body 2 form a second cavity 13. The outer partition 3 has overflow ports 6 evenly distributed through it.
[0030] Furthermore, a water pump 7 is installed in the recessed part of the base 1. The water pump 7 is connected to a drain pipe 8. The top end of the drain pipe 8 extends through the outer partition 3 into the fish-raising space. A diversion channel 9 is provided inside the base 1. Openings 10 are provided at both ends of the diversion channel 9. The outer opening 10 extends into the base 1, and the inner opening 10 is located in the second empty slot 13. A water purification system is provided inside the base 1. The water purification system includes a water-blocking baffle 11 with a radiating design inside the base 1.
[0031] It needs to be explained that during use, as the water volume in the tank 2 gradually increases, it enters the first empty tank 5 through the overflow port 6. When the water submerges the top of the inner baffle 4, the water flows into the second empty tank 13. Then, under the action of the diversion channel 9, the water flows into the base 1 through the outer opening 10 and the diversion channel 9 through the inner opening 10. The meandering channel formed by the isolation baffle 11 causes large particles of impurities such as uneaten food and fish feces to settle naturally due to the reduced flow rate and be intercepted by the gaps in the isolation baffle 11. Filter media such as bio-cotton and ceramic rings can be placed in the base 1. When the water flows through, the nitrifying bacteria on the surface of the filter media convert toxic ammonia and nitrite into low-toxicity nitrate. Furthermore, the divergent design of the isolation baffle 11 extends the water flow path, increases the contact time between the water and the filter media, and improves the purification efficiency. Afterward, the water pump 7 discharges clean water into the tank 2 through the drain pipe 8 to achieve self-circulation.
[0032] Next, a cover plate 12 is provided on the top of the fish tank, and a light tube is installed at the bottom of the cover plate 12. The light tube is used for aesthetic purposes and to supplement the light source for the fish and plants inside the tank 2.
[0033] Furthermore, the upper end of the inner partition 4 is lower than the upper end of the outer partition 3, the outer wall of the cylinder 2 is designed to be smooth to prevent the growth of green deposits, and the surface of the base 1 is provided with a transparent glass observation window, which is used to observe the water level in the base 1 to prevent water from overflowing or running out.
[0034] It should be noted that the detachable design between the cylinder body 2 and the base 1 facilitates the cleaning of impurities inside the base 1 during subsequent cleaning.
[0035] Furthermore, the oil film in the water enters the interior of the base 1 through the overflow outlet 6 and the diversion channel 9, and is then filtered by the water purification system inside the base 1.
[0036] Working Principle: During use, as the water volume in the tank 2 gradually increases, it enters the first empty tank 5 through the overflow port 6. When the water submerges the top of the inner baffle 4, it flows into the second empty tank 13. Then, under the action of the diversion channel 9, the water flows into the base 1 through the outer opening 10 and the diversion channel 9, forming a meandering channel. Large particles such as uneaten food and fish feces naturally settle due to the reduced flow rate and are trapped by the gaps in the diversion baffle 11. Filter media such as bio-cotton and ceramic rings can be placed in the base 1. When water flows through, nitrifying bacteria on the surface of the filter media convert toxic ammonia and nitrite into low-toxicity nitrate. Furthermore, the divergent design of the diversion baffle 11 extends the water flow path, increases the contact time between the water and the filter media, and improves the purification efficiency. Afterward, the water pump 7 discharges clean water into the tank 2 through the drain pipe 8 to achieve self-circulation.
[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
