Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ecological aquariums, and in particular to a desktop mini ecological aquarium filter box. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of desktop miniature aquariums, with the increasing interest in home décor and small ecosystems, the demand for matching filtration devices is growing. Currently, a search reveals the following patent comparisons regarding existing technologies for aquarium filtration devices:

[0003] Patent Comparison 1: Patent No.: CN206909474U (Filter Box that can be placed directly on the fish tank), its technical solution is as follows: This patent discloses a filter box that can be placed directly on the fish tank by means of a hanging ear. The inside is divided into an installation chamber and a filter chamber by a partition. The water pump is set in the installation chamber, and the filter chamber is filled with filter cotton and other materials.

[0004] Problems: (1) Unreasonable filtration zoning: The installation room and filtration room are simply separated by a single partition, without forming an independent drainage area. This leads to easy mixing of filtered water with unfiltered water, reducing filtration efficiency. (2) Lack of sterilization function: No sterilization device (such as ultraviolet lamp) is mentioned. Long-term use can easily breed bacteria and affect water quality stability. (3) No ecological cycle design: The connection structure of hydroponic plants is not involved, so it is impossible to realize tidal irrigation or plant purification functions, resulting in a single ecosystem.

[0005] Patent Comparison 2: Patent No.: CN202022591749 (High-efficiency disinfection filter box), its technical solution is as follows: This patent discloses a filter box with built-in ultraviolet germicidal lamp, which extends the water flow path through the water guide frame to enhance the sterilization effect.

[0006] Problems: (1) Insufficient zoning design: Although the water flow path is optimized by the water guide frame, the independent filtration zone and drainage zone are not clearly defined. The filter material and sterilization zone are not separated, which may affect the sterilization effect due to filter residue. (2) Lack of ecological connection: No hydroponic plant planting structure is set up, so the biological filtration function of plant roots cannot be utilized, and the water resource recycling rate is low. (3) Single function: It only focuses on sterilization and basic filtration, lacks composite functions such as nitrifying bacteria cultivation and gas-liquid mixing, and cannot build a complete micro ecosystem.

[0007] Patent Comparison 3: Patent No.: CN206284160U (Aquarium Filter Device), the technical solution of which is as follows: This patent discloses a filter device that circulates water through a water pump and a pressure pump, and a sludge collector and a water flow flusher are set at the bottom.

[0008] Problems: (1) Physical filtration is dominant: It mainly relies on filter cotton and activated carbon for physical adsorption, without setting up biological filter materials (such as volcanic rock and ceramic rings), and the cultivation of nitrifying bacteria is insufficient, so it cannot effectively decompose harmful substances such as ammonia nitrogen. (2) No sterilization mechanism: It is not equipped with ultraviolet germicidal lamps or other sterilization devices, and the water quality is easily contaminated by bacteria. (3) No ecological integration: It does not involve the connection structure of hydroponic plants, and it cannot realize the ecological cycle of "fish and vegetables symbiosis". Water resources are only used for single filtration and are not absorbed and utilized by plants.

[0009] Patent Comparison 4: Patent No.: CN202222591749 (Aquarium Sterilization and Filtration Device), its technical solution is as follows: This patent discloses a small filtration device that integrates filtration, sterilization and water pump, and divides the filtration chamber and sterilization chamber by a partition.

[0010] Problems: (1) Insufficient miniaturization: Although the integration is high, the overall volume is still large (e.g., length exceeds 200mm), which is not suitable for desktop miniature aquariums (e.g., 120×120×180mm). (2) Lack of hydroponics: No tidal irrigation structure or plant planting area is set up, which makes it impossible to realize the recycling of water resources and ecological diversification. (3) Poor power supply expandability: Only a built-in fixed power supply is provided, and there is no Type-C or USB interface, so it is impossible to connect aquarium lights or air pumps, resulting in insufficient functional expandability.

[0011] Current trends in this field focus on more compact structures, more efficient filtration, multifunctional integration, and synergistic cooperation with ecosystems to achieve stable water quality and ecological balance within aquariums. Therefore, this invention designs a desktop miniature ecological aquarium filter box to address the problems identified in the aforementioned comparisons. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-4The desktop miniature ecological aquarium filter box includes a filter box body 1 set in a miniature ecological aquarium. The miniature ecological aquarium measures 120mm×120mm×180mm. A bottom filter is installed at the bottom of the aquarium, and a miniature silent water pump is installed in the bottom filter. The water pump draws water from the bottom of the aquarium to the filter box body 1. (It should be noted that the power supply end of the water pump is equipped with an electromagnetic suction head, which is matched with the magnetic suction interface 101 on the outside of the filter box body 1.) The overall dimensions of the filter box body 1 are 233×120×68mm, the box wall thickness is 2mm, and it adopts a wall-mounted design. It can be directly hung on the aquarium wall using the aquarium hook 2, extending 88mm above the aquarium. The filter box body 1 is divided into two areas by a partition structure: a filtration area 3 (83mm×63mm) and a drainage area 4 (31mm×63mm). The upper ends of the filtration area 3 and the drainage area 4 are open. The filtration area 3 is arranged from top to bottom with a filter cotton layer, a nitrifying bacteria culture filter media layer, and a volcanic rock layer. A drainage grid 5 is installed through the bottom of the partition and connects the bottom of the filtration area 3 and the drainage area 4 laterally. The top of the filter box body 1 is provided with a water inlet 6 that connects to the filtration area 3 and the outlet of the water pump in the aquarium. A siphon device 9 is fixedly installed near the top of the drainage area 4. The filter box body 1 is also provided with a drain outlet 11. The drain outlet 11 is 20mm×14mm high, 10mm above the aquarium. The drain outlet 11 is connected to the drainage area 4 through the siphon device 9. A shower net 12 is connected to the outside of the drain outlet 11. An ultraviolet lamp 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drainage area 4. A cavity 13 is provided at the bottom of the filter box body 1.

[0031] It should be added that the siphon device 9 has a small hole at the top, which can introduce a large number of air bubbles during the siphon process to increase the dissolved oxygen in the water.

[0032] The filter box body 1 has a magnetic interface 101 on the outer side near the drain outlet 11. The filter box body 1 has a USB female port 102 and a Type-C port 103 on the outer side near the bottom. The Type-C port 103 is used for 5V power supply to provide power to the entire filter box and internal equipment. The USB female port 102 is used to expand aquarium lights or air pumps to meet the diverse needs of users.

[0033] The filter zone 3 is fitted with a matching cover plate 7 at its upper end. The filter zone 3 is also equipped with an overflow port 8 that connects to the drainage zone 4. When the water is too full, the water can be drained through the overflow port 8 to prevent leakage.

[0034] The siphon device has a small hole at the top, which can introduce a large number of air bubbles during the siphon process to increase the dissolved oxygen in the water. A hydroponic biological zone can be set up at the open position at the top of the drainage zone 4 for planting hydroponic plants and realizing tidal irrigation of water resources.

[0035] The ultraviolet lamp 10 is a medical-grade UVC germicidal lamp. It is equipped with a heat dissipation module to ensure stable operation. A timer module, electrically connected to the ultraviolet lamp 10, is installed inside the cavity 13, allowing for 10 minutes of sterilization every 6 hours, thus achieving timed sterilization of the water. A sealing base plate 1301 is bolted to the bottom of the cavity 13, facilitating subsequent inspection and maintenance of the internal electrical components. A rubber gasket is provided at the contact surface between the sealing base plate 1301 and the cavity 13 to enhance the waterproof sealing effect of the connection. Example 1: Used with a standard-sized fish tank

[0036] Installation process: Hang the filter box body 1 on the wall of a glass aquarium measuring 120mm×120mm×180mm using the aquarium hook 2, ensuring that the filter box body 1 is 88mm above the aquarium. Connect the miniature silent water pump in the bottom filter of the aquarium to the water inlet 6 on the top of the filter box body 1 through a pipe. Then, using the magnetic interface 101 on the front of the filter box body 1, connect the electromagnetic suction head of the aquarium water pump to the magnetic interface 101 on the outside of the filter box body 1 to achieve power transmission.

[0037] Workflow: A miniature silent water pump draws water from the bottom of the aquarium to inlet 6. The water enters the filtration zone 3 through inlet 6 and passes through a filter cotton layer, a nitrifying bacteria culture media layer, and a volcanic rock layer. After flowing to the bottom of the filter box body 1, it enters the drainage zone 4 through the drain grille 5. The timer in drainage zone 4 is set to activate the ultraviolet lamp 10 every 6 hours for 10 minutes of sterilization, treating the water in drainage zone 4. After sterilization, the water is discharged through the siphon device 9 via the shower net 12 on the outer end of the drain outlet 11. During the siphon process, a large number of air bubbles are introduced through the small holes at the top, increasing the dissolved oxygen content in the water. Before exiting the drain outlet 11, the discharged water passes over the hydroponic plants above, achieving tidal irrigation. After the hydroponic plants absorb water and nutrients, excess water flows back into the aquarium, completing the entire water and ecological cycle.

[0038] Example 2: Used with non-standard sized fish tanks

[0039] When using aquariums of other sizes, a custom-made bottom filter is used based on the specific dimensions of the aquarium. The design of the bottom filter must ensure that the installation position and piping connection of the miniature silent water pump can be correctly aligned with the inlet 6 of the filter box body 1, while also ensuring that the wall-mounting structure of the box can be stably installed on the aquarium wall. Other workflows are the same as in Example 1, achieving the application of the filter box in aquariums of different sizes through customized bottom filters.

[0040] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0041] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
