Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquarium supplies technology, specifically to a landscaping drifting sand device for aquariums. Background Technology

[0002] To enhance the aesthetics of aquariums, people often add decorative landscaping features along with aquatic life. Flowing sand waterfalls are a common aquarium feature, using a power source to propel sand upwards, which then cascades down to form a waterfall.

[0003] Chinese patent application publication number CN111806141A discloses an underwater sand waterfall device. Its working principle is as follows: when the pump is working, it draws sand and water from the sand collection box into a sand storage tank, allowing the sand to accumulate temporarily. Then, with the second servo motor operating, the sand and water in the storage tank are driven by a third rotating shaft to rotate the brush, continuously pumping the sand to the discharge pipe. This ensures a continuous flow of sand, effectively forming a sand waterfall. However, to prevent the water flow from spreading the sand, a protective cover needs to be installed inside the pool. This cover not only occupies pool space but also affects the overall aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0028] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a landscaping sand generator for aquariums includes a sand delivery pipe 1 and a sand receiving box 2 connected to the bottom of the sand delivery pipe 1. The sand delivery pipe 1 is connected to a water pump, and the generator also includes:

[0029] The sand outlet box 3 is set at an angle, and the highest point of the sand outlet box 3 is connected to the sand delivery pipe 1.

[0030] The sand outlet 4 is located at the lowest point of the sand outlet box 3, and the sand outlet 4 is located above the sand receiving box 2;

[0031] Water passage 5 is located on the top surface of sand box 3;

[0032] The filter screen 6 is placed on top of the sand outlet box 3 and covers the water inlet 5.

[0033] After sand and water enter the sand outlet box 3 through the sand delivery pipe 1, most of the water is discharged from the water inlet 5 due to the filter screen 6, which releases water pressure and reduces the water flow rate. Due to gravity and the effect of a small portion of the water flow, the sand continuously slides down from the top of the sand outlet box 3 and then flows out from the sand outlet 4 to form a quicksand waterfall. This structure can effectively prevent the sand from spreading. After the falling sand enters the sand receiving box 2, it enters the sand outlet box 3 through the sand delivery pipe 1, realizing the circulation of quicksand.

[0034] In the embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the sand box 3 includes a box body 31 and a box cover 32.
