Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquarium equipment technology, specifically to a side-filtered fish tank with improved structure. Background Technology
[0002] An aquarium is a container used to keep ornamental fish, usually made of transparent materials, primarily glass. It not only provides living space for the fish but also serves as part of interior decoration, enhancing the aesthetics and enjoyment of the living environment.
[0003] However, most existing aquariums are open or have a single structural design, lacking effective water circulation and filtration systems. Over long-term use, fish waste, uneaten food, and other pollutants easily accumulate in the aquarium, leading to water quality deterioration, affecting fish health, and reducing aesthetic appeal. Furthermore, daily cleaning and maintenance are tedious, time-consuming, and labor-intensive, causing considerable inconvenience to users.
[0004] Furthermore, the heating rods, UV sterilizers, and other functional equipment required in aquariums are usually placed directly in the main viewing area, which disrupts the overall visual effect and reduces the practicality and aesthetics of the aquarium.
[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a new type of aquarium with a reasonable structure and complete functions to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] Based on the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a fish tank with a side filter structure, so as to achieve efficient water purification, reduce the frequency of manual cleaning, and improve the overall aesthetics and ease of use.

An overflow hole, a first vent hole, and a second vent hole are respectively opened through the right side of the first vertical plate from top to bottom, and a first arc-shaped opening is provided at the bottom of the first vertical plate.
[0010] A second vertical plate is fixedly installed on the rear middle surface of the first vertical plate, and the bottom surface and rear side surface of the second vertical plate are fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the cylinder and the rear inner wall surface of the cylinder, respectively, and a second arc-shaped opening is provided at the bottom of the second vertical plate.
[0011] A third vertical plate is fixedly installed on the right rear side of the second vertical plate, and the rear side of the third vertical plate is fixedly connected to the right inner wall of the cylinder.
[0012] A channel is provided between the rear side of the third vertical plate and the rear inner wall of the cylinder to form a third vent hole;
[0013] A filter cotton bracket is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the third vertical plate, and the left and right sides of the filter cotton bracket are fixedly connected to the right side of the second vertical plate and the right inner wall of the cylinder, respectively.

[0015] A water guide groove is fixedly installed on the top surface of the fourth vertical plate, and the left and right sides of the water guide groove are fixedly connected to the right side of the second vertical plate (4) and the right inner wall of the cylinder (1), respectively.
[0016] The space formed by the front side of the fourth upright plate, the rear side of the first upright plate, and the right side of the second upright plate is configured as a multi-functional compartment.
[0017] A water-repellent plate is fixedly installed on the front side of the first upright plate, and the bottom surface of the water-repellent plate is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the cylinder (1), and the water-repellent plate is located on the right side of the partition plate.
[0018] The top surface of the backflow plate is equipped with a bracket, and the right side and rear side of the bracket are fixedly connected to the right inner wall of the cylinder and the side of the first vertical plate, respectively. The bracket is also movably equipped with a filter box.
[0019] The bottom of the filter box is provided with a fifth vertical plate, and the front and rear sides of the fifth vertical plate are fixedly connected to the front side of the first vertical plate and the front inner surface of the cylinder, respectively.
[0020] The above technical solution facilitates the filtration and circulation of water in the fish tank, thereby improving water quality.
[0021] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a water pump is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the cylinder, and the water pump is located on the rear side of the first vertical plate. The water outlet end of the water pump is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the water pipe, and a water outlet is fixedly installed on the top end of the water pipe, and the water outlet is fixedly installed through the partition.

The air inlet pipe is fixedly disposed through the water distribution plate, and the air vent is disposed through the left and right side walls of the shell, and the air vent is located between the first filter cotton support plate and the second filter cotton support plate.
[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, it is easy to avoid the formation of negative pressure inside the filter box and reduce the water flow rate through the air inlet pipe and the air vent, thus ensuring filtration efficiency.
[0032] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the filter cotton bracket is movably installed with a filter cotton support plate.
[0033] The above technical solution facilitates improved filtration and cleaning efficiency.
[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the new side-filter aquarium can filter and circulate water, improve water quality, ensure a healthy living environment for fish, improve the aesthetics of the aquarium, and solve the problems of time-consuming and laborious cleaning of the aquarium, as well as the problem of placing the heating rod and sterilizing lamp directly in the main viewing area, which destroys the overall visual effect, thus improving the practicality and aesthetics of the aquarium.
[0035] Water enters through the inlet grille and changes its flow direction under the setting of the backwater plate, so that the water is filtered through the filter box. After filtration, it enters the multi-functional chamber and then enters the filter cotton again through the water guide channel. Then it enters the area where the water pump is located. The water pump draws the water through the water pipe and flows out through the water outlet, realizing the water filtration and circulation and improving water quality.
[0036] The raised design can accelerate the water flow rate, thereby improving filtration efficiency. At the same time, the design of the air inlet pipe and the air vent can effectively prevent the formation of negative pressure space between the water distribution plate and the first filter cotton support plate, and between the first filter cotton support plate and the second filter cotton support plate. The design of the air vent also prevents the formation of negative pressure space under the filter box, thus ensuring filtration efficiency. In addition, the air vent also serves as an overflow function.
[0037] The filter box and bracket are movably connected, making it easy to remove the filter box using the handle. At the same time, the water distribution plate, the first filter cotton tray, and the second filter cotton tray are movably installed, making them easy to disassemble and clean.
[0038] The movable connection between the filter cotton bracket and the filter cotton tray makes it easy to replace the filter cotton placed on the filter cotton tray and the filter media placed at the bottom of the filter cotton tray. Attached Figure Description
