Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquariums, and more particularly to an aquarium with a combined side filter and bottom filter filtration system. Background Technology

[0002] An aquarium is a transparent container used to raise aquatic organisms (such as fish, aquatic plants, corals, etc.). It is usually made of glass or acrylic and is typically equipped with a filtration system to filter out impurities in the water. After the filtration system filters out impurities in the water, the aquatic organisms can grow normally in the aquarium, which also improves the aquarium's aesthetic appeal.

[0003] In existing technologies, conventional aquariums use bottom filtration systems. However, conventional bottom filtration systems are too large, and are prone to overflow (water overflowing from the bottom filter tank) during power outages. In addition, they can only hold a limited amount of filter media, which also reduces the filtration space and results in poor water filtration. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a fish tank with a combined side filter and bottom filter system.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a fish tank with a combined side filter and bottom filter system, comprising a tank body, the interior of which includes an inner bottom plate, a fish comb plate, a first water partition plate, a second water partition plate, and a water-turning plate. The tank body, the inner bottom plate, and the fish comb plate form a fish-keeping area. The bottom filter area is formed between the lower part of the inner bottom plate and the tank body. The water-turning plate is located on the right side of the fish comb plate. The right side of the water-turning plate and the front side of the first water partition plate form a side filter area. The rear side of the first water partition plate, the fish comb plate, and the tank body form a water pump area. The second water partition plate divides the bottom filter area into two interconnected parts.

[0006] The bottom filtration area contains multiple filter media boxes. A cover plate is snapped into the upper part of the filter media box. A handle is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cover plate. A buckle is installed inside the cover plate. A slot is opened inside the filter media box. The buckle is snapped into the slot. An insert block is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer wall of the filter media box. A U-shaped block is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the filter media box. The insert blocks and U-shaped blocks of two adjacent filter media boxes are snapped into each other.

[0007] A water guide box and multiple white cotton boxes are placed on the right side of the water-turning plate. A handle is fixedly connected inside the water guide box, and a hook is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water guide box. The hook hangs on the upper end of the water-turning plate. Buckles are provided on the two outer sides of the lower end of the water guide box. An overflow port is provided inside the water guide box. A slot is provided on the two outer sides of the upper end of the white cotton box. Buckles are engaged with slots. Buckles are provided on the two outer sides of the lower end of the white cotton box. The upper and lower white cotton boxes are engaged with each other through buckles and slots. An overflow port is provided inside the white cotton box, and the overflow port is corresponding to overflow port one.

[0008] The pump area is equipped with a circulating water pump. The inlet of the circulating water pump is located in the pump area, and the outlet of the circulating water pump is fixedly connected to a water supply pipe. The end of the water supply pipe away from the circulating water pump is fixedly connected to a water outlet pipe. The water outlet pipe passes through the fish comb plate and extends into the fish farming area.

[0009] Further: the inner bottom plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inside of the cylinder, the fish comb plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the upper surface of the inner bottom plate, and the water-separating plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the fish comb plate.

[0010] Further: the first water-blocking plate is located at the middle of the right side of the outer wall of the fish comb plate, the second water-blocking plate is fixed at the middle of the bottom of the inner bottom plate, and the top end of the second water-blocking plate extending beyond the inner bottom plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first water-blocking plate.

[0011] Further: The water-turning plate is fixedly connected to the rightmost side of the upper surface of the inner bottom plate, the water-turning plate is set on the right side of the fish comb plate, and the height of the water-turning plate is lower than the height of the fish comb plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the fish comb plate has a residue discharge hole inside, which is located at the bottom of the fish comb plate and near the side of the water-turning plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the fish comb plate has multiple oil-removing film grid holes inside, and these multiple oil-removing film grid holes are located at the upper part of the fish comb plate and above the position of the water-turning plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the filter media box, water guide box, and white cotton box are all provided with multiple water flow holes. The filter media box contains biochemical filter material, and the white cotton box contains physical filter material.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. Compared with existing technologies, this aquarium with a combined side and bottom filter system divides the interior of the tank into a fish-keeping area, a side filter area, a bottom filter area, and a water pump area through an inner bottom plate, a fish comb plate, a first water baffle plate, a second water baffle plate, and a water-turning plate. This increases the space in the side and bottom filter areas, allowing for the placement of a water guide box and multiple white cotton boxes in the side filter area, and multiple filter media boxes in the bottom filter area. Water in the fish-keeping area enters between the fish comb plate and the water-turning plate through debris discharge holes at the bottom of the fish comb plate. Simultaneously, floating oil film and debris on the surface of the water in the fish-keeping area flow into the side filter area through the oil film removal grille holes, and are then discharged into the water guide box. The oil film and debris remain inside the water guide box. Water entering between the comb plate and the tipping plate flows over the tipping plate into the water guide box. It undergoes physical filtration through the water guide box and multiple white filter media boxes at its bottom. When the water guide box becomes clogged, the water level rises and flows through the overflow port into the white filter media boxes. After physical filtration through the white filter media boxes, the water flows downstream through multiple filter media boxes for biological filtration. The biologically filtered water is then pumped out by a circulating water pump and returned to the fish tank area via inlet and outlet pipes. This structure solves the problem of water overflow that commonly occurs in conventional bottom filtration areas of aquariums. It also increases the amount of biological filter media that can be placed, better restoring ecological water quality. The larger physical filtration space allows for more layers of physical filter media, resulting in cleaner water. Attached Figure Description

[0027] Reference Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a fish tank with a combined side filter and bottom filter system: it includes a tank body 1. The interior of the tank body 1 includes an inner bottom plate 101, a fish comb plate 102, a first water partition plate 103, a second water partition plate 104, and a water-turning plate 105. A fish-raising area is formed between the tank body 1, the inner bottom plate 101, and the fish comb plate 102. The fish-raising area is the space above the tank body 1 and the inner bottom plate 101 and to the left of the fish comb plate 102. A bottom filter area is formed between the lower part of the inner bottom plate 101 and the tank body 1. The water-turning plate 105 is located on the right side of the fish comb plate 102. A side filter area is formed between the right side of the water-turning plate 105 and the front side of the first water partition plate 103. The lower part of the side filter area is connected to the bottom filter area. A water pump area is formed between the rear side of the first water partition plate 103, the fish comb plate 102, and the tank body 1. The lower part of the water pump area is connected to the bottom filter area. The second water partition plate 104 divides the bottom filter area into two connected parts.

[0028] Multiple filter media boxes 2 are placed in the bottom filtration area, arranged in two rows. A cover plate 201 is snapped onto the upper part of each filter media box 2. A handle 202 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cover plate 201. A buckle 203 is installed inside the cover plate 201. A slot 204 is formed inside the filter media box 2, and the buckle 203 engages with the slot 204. Pulling the handle 202 moves the cover plate 201 upwards, causing the buckle 203 to engage. 203 disengages from the slot 204, allowing the cover plate 201 to separate from the filter media box 2. A plug 205 is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer wall of the filter media box 2, and a U-shaped block 206 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the filter media box 2. The plugs 205 and U-shaped blocks 206 of two adjacent filter media boxes 2 are interlocked. By interlocking the plug 205 on the left side of one filter media box 2 with the U-shaped block 206 on the right side of another filter media box 2, multiple filter media boxes 2 can be spliced ​​together.

[0029] On the right side of the water-discharging plate 105, there is a water guide box 3 and multiple white cotton boxes 4. A handle 301 is fixedly connected inside the water guide box 3, and a hook 302 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the water guide box 3. The hook 302 hangs on the upper end of the water-discharging plate 105. Two buckles 303 are provided on the two outer sides of the lower end of the water guide box 3. An overflow prevention port 304 is provided inside the water guide box 3. Two slots 401 are opened on the two outer sides of the upper end of the white cotton boxes 4, and the buckles 303 engage with the slots 401. Three buckles 402 are provided on the two outer sides of the lower end of the white cotton boxes 4. The upper and lower white cotton boxes 4 are connected by the buckles 402 and the slots 401. The interior is equipped with an overflow prevention port 2 403, which corresponds to the overflow prevention port 1 304. The buckles 3 402 and the slots 2 401 between the multiple white cotton boxes 4 are engaged to form a combination. Then, the buckles 2 303 inside the water guide box 3 are engaged in the slots 2 401 inside the uppermost white cotton box 4 to form a combination of the water guide box 3 and the multiple white cotton boxes 4. Then, the hooks 302 fixed on the outer wall of the water guide box 3 are hung on the upper end of the water-turning plate 105, which can cause the water to be filtered to turn over the water-turning plate 105 and enter the interior of the water guide box 3 for preliminary filtration, and then enter the interior of the multiple white cotton boxes 4 for physical filtration.

[0030] A circulating water pump 5 is installed in the water pump area. The inlet end of the circulating water pump 5 is located in the water pump area, and the outlet end of the circulating water pump 5 is fixedly connected to a water supply pipe 501. The end of the water supply pipe 501 away from the circulating water pump 5 is fixedly connected to an outlet pipe 502. The outlet pipe 502 passes through the fish comb plate 102 and extends into the fish farming area. When the circulating water pump 5 is started, the water that has been filtered in the bottom filter area and entered the water pump area is drawn out and pumped into the fish farming area through the water supply pipe 501 and the outlet pipe 502, so as to realize the recycling of the filtered water.

[0031] The inner bottom plate 101 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the inner wall of the tank 1. The fish comb plate 102 is fixedly connected to the right side of the upper surface of the inner bottom plate 101. The first water baffle plate 103 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the fish comb plate 102. The first water baffle plate 103 is located in the middle of the right side of the outer wall of the fish comb plate 102. The first water baffle plate 103 divides the right side of the inner wall of the tank 1 into a side filter area and a water pump area. The second water baffle plate 104 is fixed to the middle of the bottom of the inner bottom plate 101 and extends beyond the inner bottom plate 101. One end of the 01 plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first water baffle 103. The second water baffle 104 assists the first water baffle 103 in dividing the right side of the tank body 1 into a side filter area and a water pump area. The second water baffle 104 divides the bottom filter area into two connected parts, which can promote water to enter the bottom filter area for filtration after being filtered in the side filter area, and then enter the water pump area, thus helping to achieve water recycling after filtration. The tipping plate 105 is fixedly connected to the rightmost side of the upper surface of the inner bottom plate 101. The tipping plate 105 is located on the right side of the fish comb plate 102. The height of the water plate 105 is lower than the height of the fish comb plate 102. The fish comb plate 102 has a residue discharge hole 106 located at the bottom of its interior, near the side of the water-turning plate 105. The fish comb plate 102 also has multiple oil-removing film grille holes 107 located at the upper part of its interior, above the water-turning plate 105. Water from the fish-raising area enters the space between the fish comb plate 102 and the water-turning plate 105 through the residue discharge hole 106. As the water level rises, the oil film and floating debris floating on the surface of the fish farming area are blocked by the oil film removal grid holes 107, preventing them from entering the side filter area. The water in the fish farming area enters the space between the fish comb plate 102 and the water-turning plate 105 through the discharge hole 106, then turns over the water-turning plate 105 and enters the interior of the water guide box 3, where the water begins to be filtered. The filter media box 2, the water guide box 3, and the white cotton box 4 all have multiple water flow holes. The filter media box 2 contains biological filter material, and the white cotton box 4 contains physical filter material.

[0032] Working principle: Biochemical filter media, such as bacterial balls, ceramic rings, bio-cotton, quartz balls, and other porous materials, are placed inside the filter media box 2 to provide a place for nitrifying bacteria to attach and multiply. Multiple filter media boxes 2 are then placed in two rows inside the bottom filtration zone, connected by inserts 205 and U-shaped blocks 206. Physical filter media, such as densely porous materials like white cotton, are placed inside the white cotton box 4 to primarily intercept large particles. Multiple white cotton boxes 4 and the water guide box 3 are then combined and hung on the upper end of the water-turning plate 105, placing the water guide box 3 and white cotton box 4 within the side filtration zone. During the use of the tank 1, the nitrifying bacteria... Impurities are generated in the water within the fish enclosure. These impurities flow through the residue discharge hole 106 into the space between the fish comb plate 102 and the water-turning plate 105. The water level then rises to the top of the water-turning plate 105. Oil film and floating debris on the surface of the water in the fish enclosure enter the side filter zone through the oil film removal grille hole 107, and then into the water guide box 3. The oil film and floating debris remain inside the water guide box 3. Impurities, as the water level rises, turn over the water-turning plate 105 and enter the side filter zone and then into the water guide box 3. Some of the impurities remain inside the water guide box 3, and the water continues to flow downwards along the water guide box 3 into the white cotton box 4 for filtration. The water is physically filtered through multiple filter media inside the white cotton boxes 4, intercepting visible solid impurities such as fish waste, uneaten food, and plant debris to prevent water pollution. If impurities inside the water guide box 3 cause blockage and the water level continues to rise, water will continue to flow into the white cotton boxes 4 through overflow port 1 304, and then flow down into the bottom filter area through overflow port 2 403 inside the white cotton boxes 4. This prevents water from overflowing out of the tank 1 due to blockage. Overflow port 1 304 serves to prevent overflow at this time. The physically filtered water then flows down into the bottom filter area. Multiple filter media boxes 2 placed in the filter zone perform biological filtration. The biological filter media inside the multiple filter media boxes 2 provides a place for nitrifying bacteria to attach and reproduce, decomposing harmful substances dissolved in the water, such as ammonia and nitrite. Through the metabolic action of nitrifying bacteria and other microorganisms, they are converted into low-toxicity nitrates. After the water has undergone biological filtration through multiple filter media boxes 2, it enters the water pump area. Then, the water pump draws out the filtered water and pumps it back into the fish farming area through the water supply pipe 501 and the water outlet pipe 502, thereby realizing the filtration and circulation of fish farming water. Through the combination of side filtration and bottom filtration, and with a large filtration space and more filter media, the water quality is filtered more cleanly.
