[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the mounting bracket 13 is installed on the fish tank 100. The mounting bracket 13 is equipped with a first water pump 14 and a first filter 15. The inlet of the first water pump 14 is connected to the fish tank 100 through a pipe, and the inlet of the pipe is adjacent to the inner bottom surface of the fish tank 100. The outlet of the first water pump 14 is connected to the inlet of the first filter 15 through a pipe, and the outlet of the first filter 15 is connected to the fish tank 100 through a pipe, thereby realizing the circulation of water in the fish tank 100.

[0037] In some embodiments, the water circulation unit 400 further includes a second filter 16, the inlet of which is connected to the first outlet of the first filter 15, and the outlet of which is connected to the fish tank 100.

[0038] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the inlet of the second filter 16 is connected to the first outlet of the first filter 15, and the outlet of the second filter 16 is connected to the fish tank 100 through a pipe.

[0044] In some embodiments, the outlet of the pipe connected to the outlet of the third water pump 20 faces the inlet of the pipe connected to the inlet of the first water pump 14.

[0045] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the outlet of the pipe connected to the outlet of the third water pump 20 faces the direction of the pipe at the inlet of the first water pump 14. For example, when the pipe at the inlet of the first water pump 14 is on the left, the outlet of the pipe connected to the outlet of the third water pump 20 is on the right.

[0046] It should be noted that the outlet of the pipe connected to the third water pump 20 is adjacent to the inner bottom surface of the fish tank 100, and the outlet of the pipe connected to the inlet of the first water pump 14 is also adjacent to the inner bottom surface of the fish tank 100. The impact force of the water in the pipe connected to the outlet of the third water pump 20 is used to flush the debris settled on the inner bottom surface of the fish tank 100 to the inlet of the pipe connected to the inlet of the first water pump 14, making it easier to remove the debris or fish excrement deposited in the fish tank 100.

[0047] In some embodiments, the water supply unit 500 further includes a water level sensor (not shown) for monitoring the water level in the fish tank 100.

[0048] It should be noted that the water level sensor transmits the water level information in the fish tank 100 to the controller. When the water level is lower than the threshold, the controller will start the third water pump 20 to supply water to the fish tank 100 to replenish the water storage.
