Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet tanks, specifically to a simplified graphene-heated pet tank. Background Technology

[0002] As people's material lives become richer and their spiritual needs increase, pets are playing an increasingly important role in human life. Therefore, more and more families enjoy keeping pets, and these pets are often kept in pet tanks.

[0003] Regarding pet tanks, the authorized publication number CN203934523U discloses a special breeding tank for pet turtles, which specifically discloses a glass tank, an electric heating rod, and a climbing protrusion. The electric heating rod is set at the bottom of the glass tank, and the climbing protrusion is set on the inner wall of the glass tank. The electric heating rod is fixed to the bottom of the glass tank by at least one suction cup. The climbing protrusion is a concave structure with a concave center and horizontal sides, and the climbing protrusion is fixed to the inner wall of the glass tank by at least one suction cup.

[0004] However, because the heating element (electric heater) is located directly at the bottom of the tank, a power cord must be connected directly to the tank to supply power, which presents a certain inconvenience in terms of power connection. Furthermore, since the heating element is inside the tank, it is easily soiled by pets, requiring frequent cleaning, which adds to the inconvenience. Moreover, if water is present in the tank, the heating element is susceptible to water contact, potentially leading to a short circuit risk, meaning its safety is not optimal. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a graphene heated pet tank with a simplified structure. By placing the heating device on the outer bottom surface of the tank body, it is easier to keep the heating device clean, making it less likely to be dirty by pets and preventing it from coming into contact with water inside the pet tank. In addition, it can also simplify the structure of the pet tank and reduce the exposure of wiring.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A simplified graphene-heated pet tank includes a glass tank and a heating device. The glass tank includes a main body located at the top and four support feet respectively installed at the four corners of the bottom of the main body. One of the support feet is a component mounting foot with an internal mounting cavity. The heating device includes a circuit board and an electrothermal film, a temperature sensor, and a display button assembly electrically connected to the circuit board. The circuit board is installed inside the mounting cavity. The electrothermal film is installed on the outer bottom surface of the main body, and the sensing end of the temperature sensor is attached to the outer bottom surface of the main body. The display button assembly is installed on the side of the component mounting foot. Placing the heating device outside the main body helps maintain the cleanliness of the heating device. Furthermore, integrating the circuit board and the display button assembly onto the component mounting foot simplifies the structure and reduces exposed wiring.

[0008] It also includes the following technical solutions:

[0009] Furthermore, the heating device also includes a power adapter; a first plug electrically connected to the circuit board is provided on the outer surface of the component mounting feet; one end of the power adapter is a power connector, and the other end is a second plug that mates with the first plug; the first plug can be used to interlock with the second plug to supply power to the circuit board, and then to the heating film, the temperature sensor, and the display button assembly. This configuration allows for convenient power connection and ease of use.

[0010] Furthermore, the display button assembly includes a display screen and function buttons respectively disposed on the side of the component mounting feet and respectively electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0011] Furthermore, the heating device also includes a protective switch connected in series with the heating film; the protective switch is located below the outer bottom surface of the cylinder body. This design improves the safety of the heating device.

[0012] Furthermore, the heating film is located on one side of the outer bottom surface of the cylinder body and close to the component mounting feet; the temperature sensor and the protection switch are also close to the component mounting feet. This arrangement reduces the footprint of the heating device, resulting in a compact design.

[0013] Furthermore, the heating device also includes a protective sleeve covering the heating film, the temperature sensor, and the safety switch; the protective sleeve is connected to the outer bottom surface of the cylinder body. This design allows for the protection of all components using the protective sleeve.

[0014] Furthermore, the electrothermal film is a graphene flexible electrothermal film.

[0015] Furthermore, each of the four support legs has a recessed groove on its bottom surface; and corresponding protrusions are provided around the top of the tank body. These features facilitate the stacking of pet tanks.

[0016] Furthermore, each of the slots is L-shaped; the shape of the protrusion matches the shape of the slot.

[0017] Furthermore, each of the support legs is fixed to the cylinder body by bolts or glue.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] This invention, by placing the heating device on the outer bottom surface of the tank body, helps maintain the cleanliness of the heating device, meaning it is less likely to be soiled by pets and therefore does not require frequent cleaning, making it convenient to use. At the same time, with this design, the bottom-mounted heating device will not come into contact with the water inside the pet tank, thus ensuring higher safety. Furthermore, the power supply does not need to pass through the inside of the tank body; for example, it can be directly connected from the outside of the tank body, making it very convenient to connect.

[0020] In addition, integrating the circuit board and display button assembly onto one of the support feet simplifies the structure and reduces exposed wiring. Of course, the wires between other electronic devices such as heating films and temperature sensors and the circuit board can also be hidden in the component mounting feet to form a concealed design.

[0028] The utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following description is merely exemplary and does not limit the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a simplified graphene-heated pet tank includes a glass tank and a heating device.

[0030] The glass cylinder includes a cylinder body 1 located at the top and four support feet 2 respectively installed at the four corners of the bottom of the cylinder body 1; one of the support feet 2 is a component mounting foot 21 with an internal mounting cavity 22. Therefore, the support feet 2 can be used to support the cylinder body 1, preventing the cylinder body 1 from directly contacting the bottom surface, while the component mounting foot 21 of the support foot can be used to integrate other components, which simplifies the structure and reduces exposed wiring.

[0031] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the heating device includes a circuit board 3 and an electric heating film 4, a temperature sensor 5, and a display button assembly 6, all electrically connected to the circuit board 3. The circuit board 3 is installed inside the mounting cavity 22. The electric heating film 4 is installed on the outer bottom surface of the cylinder body 1, and the sensing end of the temperature sensor 5 is attached to the outer bottom surface of the cylinder body 1. The display button assembly 6 is installed on the side of the component mounting foot 21, specifically on the side facing outwards. The temperature sensor 5 is primarily used to sense the bottom surface temperature of the cylinder body 1, so that when the bottom surface of the cylinder body 1 is below a preset temperature, the circuit board 3 controls the electric heating film 4 to heat it, and when it is above the preset temperature, heating stops. The display button assembly 6 can be used to display the temperature and adjust the preset temperature range, etc.

[0032] In summary, this invention, by placing the heating device on the outer bottom surface of the tank body 1, helps maintain the cleanliness of the heating device, meaning it is less likely to be soiled by pets, thus eliminating the need for frequent cleaning and making it convenient to use. Simultaneously, this bottom-mounted heating device does not come into contact with water inside the pet tank, enhancing safety. Furthermore, power connection does not require passing through the interior of the tank body 1; it can be directly connected from the outside, making power supply very convenient. Additionally, integrating the circuit board 3 and the display button assembly 6 onto one of the support feet 2 simplifies the structure and reduces exposed wiring. Of course, the wires between the heating film 4, temperature sensor 5, and other electronic devices and the circuit board 3 can also be concealed within the component mounting feet 21, forming a hidden design.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, preferably, to facilitate power supply to the heating device, the heating device also includes a power adapter; a first plug 7, electrically connected to the circuit board 3, is provided on the outer surface of the component mounting foot 21; one end of the power adapter is a power connector 11, and the other end is a second plug 8 that mates with the first plug 7; the first plug 7 can be used to interlock with the second plug 8 to supply power to the circuit board 3, and further to the heating film 4, temperature sensor 5, and display button assembly 6, etc. Of course, the power plug 11 can also be used to connect to mains power. Therefore, by providing the first plug 7 and the second plug 8, the heating device can be easily connected to the power supply and is very convenient to use. Moreover, since the power supply does not need to pass through the inside of the cylinder body, it is very convenient to connect.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the display button assembly 6 includes a display screen 61 and function buttons 62, each disposed on the side of the component mounting foot 21 and electrically connected to the circuit board 3. Specifically, the display screen 61 can be used to display the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor 5 and to adjust the temperature preset range in conjunction with the function buttons 62, etc. The function buttons 62 can have different functions through different pressing methods. Specifically: 1. Short press: switch temperature units; 2. Double press: power on / off; 3. Temperature setting: press and hold the function button 62 for three seconds to enter the temperature setting mode, then short press to set the temperature range, and press and hold to confirm and exit after setting, or leave the button pressed for fifteen seconds to automatically save and exit.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, to ensure ease of use, the first plug 7 is a female plug, and the second plug 8 is a male plug. This combination of male and female plugs greatly facilitates insertion, making power connection very convenient.

[0036] like Figures 3-5 As shown, preferably, the heating device also includes a protection switch 9 connected in series with the heating film 4; the protection switch 9 is located below the outer bottom surface of the cylinder body 1. During use, the current passes sequentially through the protection switch 9 and the heating film 4. When the current is too high (i.e., exceeds the threshold), the protection switch 9 automatically cuts off the circuit, thereby protecting the heating film 4 and preventing fires, etc., ensuring high safety. Therefore, the protection switch 9 ensures the safety of the heating device during use. Since the protection switch 9 is prior art, its principle will not be described in detail here.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the heating film 4 is located on one side of the outer bottom surface of the cylinder body 1 and close to the component mounting foot 21; the temperature sensor 5 and the protection switch 9 are also close to the component mounting foot 21. Therefore, by concentrating the heating film 4, temperature sensor 5, and protection switch 9, etc., near the component mounting foot 21, the area occupied by the heating device can be reduced, resulting in a compact design.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, in order to protect components such as the heating film 4, the heating device also includes a protective sleeve 10 covering the heating film 4, the temperature sensor 5 and the protection switch 9; the protective sleeve 10 is connected to the outer bottom surface of the cylinder body 1.

[0039] In this embodiment, the heating film 4 is a graphene flexible heating film. The graphene flexible heating film is a high-tech product using a polymer resin surface material. It has the characteristics of being foldable, high temperature resistant (210℃), IPX7 waterproof and V2 flame retardant. It achieves efficient energy conversion through graphene infrared heating, and the heating is uniform and noiseless.

[0040] like Figures 1-5 As shown, preferably, a recessed groove 23 is provided on the bottom surface of each of the four support feet 2, that is, a corresponding groove 23 is also provided on the component mounting foot 21; and protrusions 24 corresponding to the grooves 23 are provided around the top of the tank body 1. By providing grooves 23 and protrusions 24 on the glass tanks respectively, multiple pet tanks can be stacked and positioned. For example, when two pet tanks distributed vertically want to be stacked, simply place one pet tank on top of the other pet tank, and fit the groove 23 at the bottom of the upper pet tank onto the protrusion 24 at the top of the lower pet tank. This completes the stacking of the two pet tanks. Of course, other pet tanks can also be stacked using the same method, which will not be described in detail here.

[0041] like Figures 1-5As shown, specifically, to ensure the stability of the two pet tanks when stacked and to prevent them from easily shifting, each slot 23 is L-shaped, and the shape of the protrusion 24 matches the shape of the slot 23. This design helps ensure the stability of the pet tanks, making them less prone to wobbling.

[0042] To facilitate the fixing of the support feet 2, each support foot 2 is fixed to the cylinder body 1 by bolts or glue.

[0043] The following describes the specific working principle of this utility model in order to help you understand it:

[0044] First, after installing the heating device, it can be turned on using function button 62. The heating film 4 heats one side of the bottom of the tank body 1, and the heat slowly spreads to the other side until the entire bottom of the tank body 1 is heated. This way, the pet inside the tank body 1 can also feel warmth. Furthermore, after temperature detection by temperature sensor 5, the data is displayed on display screen 61. When the bottom of the tank body 1 reaches the preset temperature, the heating film 4 will stop heating; when the bottom of the tank body 1 falls below the preset temperature, the heating film 4 will continue heating.

[0045] This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. If any modifications or variations to this utility model do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model, and if such modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims and equivalent technologies of this utility model, then this utility model also intends to include such modifications and variations.
