Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ornamental fish farming technology, and in particular to an intelligent self-sustaining ornamental fish farming system. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve and living conditions significantly improve, more and more people are choosing to keep ornamental fish to relieve stress, alleviate tension, and decorate their homes, offices, and shop counters. Keeping ornamental fish can also eliminate work and study worries and fatigue, add enjoyment, cultivate one's mind and spirit, refine one's character, enliven spaces, beautify the environment, and increase humidity. Beautiful fish tanks have excellent decorative effects, brighten indoor colors, add natural vitality, and enhance the ambiance. Aquarium keeping is one of the most popular hobbies worldwide, with approximately 60 million enthusiasts globally.

[0003] Keeping ornamental fish involves aquariums. Aquariums, also known as ecological aquariums or aquarium tanks, are containers specifically designed for keeping aquatic plants and animals for ornamental purposes. They are animal husbandry devices, typically consisting of at least one transparent glass and high-strength plastic component. Currently, there are many types of aquariums, including those made of new materials and with new designs. Daily management of ornamental fish involves the timed operation of water temperature control equipment, lighting, air pumps, water circulation pumps, and feeding equipment. The regular start and stop of any of these functions directly affects the quality of fish care. Currently, these aquariums are essentially ordinary, non-intelligent systems requiring manual management. These ornamental fish keeping systems are not fully self-sufficient, requiring frequent manual water changes, water replenishment, temperature control, feeding, lighting, oxygenation, cleaning, and maintaining the water circulation system. This forces aquarium enthusiasts to spend time and energy on these daily tasks, increasing their workload and causing numerous problems, while also preventing them from controlling the aquarium environment according to the fish's habits. Moreover, such regular management is not easy for modern people with increasingly hectic lifestyles. In addition, business trips, holidays, travel, negligence, and forgetfulness can also lead to the death of fish, especially valuable species, causing economic losses and mental anguish.

[0004] Currently, existing aquariums still have relatively limited functions. Keepers typically need to spend a significant amount of time caring for their fish, including regular water changes, feeding, and constant monitoring of water quality such as temperature and dissolved oxygen levels. With the fast pace of life, traditional methods are no longer sufficient. There is a pressing need for intelligent aquariums that can operate in various environments and conditions to reduce the extra workload associated with keeping ornamental fish. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that ornamental fish enthusiasts have to spend time and energy on trivial matters every day because the breeding system cannot be self-sustaining during the breeding process.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an intelligent self-sustaining ornamental fish breeding system, including a fish tank body. The top of the fish tank body is provided with a feeding module and a lighting module for feeding. The bottom inner side of the fish tank body is provided with a heating module for heating the fish tank, a water replenishment module, an air replenishment module for purification and oxygenation, and an electronic control module. The electronic control module is electrically connected to the feeding module, the lighting module, the heating module, the water replenishment module, and the air replenishment module in sequence to control the internal circuit of the fish tank body.

[0007] Preferably, a manual water outlet is provided on the bottom side wall of the aquarium body, the cross-section of the aquarium body is rectangular, and the material of the aquarium body is either glass or transparent acrylic.

[0008] Preferably, the feeding module includes a feeding trough, a feeding motor, a screw, and an eccentric motor. The screw is fixedly installed at the bottom of the feeding trough, and the output shaft of the feeding motor is rotatably connected to the screw. The feed in the feeding trough flows into the screw through vibration by the eccentric motor, thereby vibrating the poorly flowing feed to the bottom of the feeding trough and pushing the feed into the aquarium body under the rotation of the feeding motor.

[0009] The bottom cross-section of the feed trough is inclined at an angle of not less than 5° relative to the horizontal direction.

[0010] Preferably, the lighting module includes a light for turning the lighting on and off.

[0011] Preferably, the heating module includes a heating element and a temperature sensor. The heating element is either a heating plate or a heating film. The heating element controls the temperature of the water in the aquarium body according to the temperature set by the temperature sensor.

[0012] Preferably, the water replenishment module includes a water replenishment tank, a water level sensor, and a water replenishment pump. The water replenishment tank and the water replenishment pump are connected via water pipes. The water level sensor is installed on the inner wall of the aquarium body. The water replenishment tank is used to hold water. When the water level sensor detects that the water level in the aquarium body is lower than the lowest position of the sensor, the water replenishment pump operates to draw water from the water replenishment tank into the aquarium body until the water level reaches the highest value of the water level sensor.

[0013] Preferably, the air replenishment module includes an air replenishment pump, an air pipe, and a sponge filter for purifying water quality. One end of the air pipe is connected to the outlet of the air replenishment pump, and the other end is connected to the sponge filter.

[0014] Preferably, the electronic control module includes an LCD display and a PCB motherboard. The LCD display is mounted on the front side wall of the aquarium body. The PCB motherboard is electrically connected to the feeding motor, the eccentric motor, the lighting lamp, the heating element, the water replenishment pump, and the air replenishment pump. The PCB motherboard is also electrically connected to the temperature sensor to control the heating module to heat the aquarium body, and to the water level sensor to control the water replenishment module to add water to the aquarium body.

[0015] Therefore, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects;

[0016] This invention achieves automatic water replenishment, feeding, water purification, temperature control, oxygenation, and lighting functions in an ornamental fish farming system through the automatic control of the feeding, lighting, heating, water replenishment, and aeration modules. The intelligent aquarium it provides can guarantee reliable operation for a certain period, significantly reducing the workload for ornamental fish enthusiasts and eliminating the need to spend time and energy on trivial matters daily, thus broadening the applicability of the system. Furthermore, this invention has a simple and flexible structure, making it easy to promote.

[0031] Example

[0032] Please see Figures 1-9This utility model provides an intelligent self-sustaining ornamental fish breeding system, including a fish tank body 1. A manual water outlet 11 is provided on the bottom side wall of the fish tank body 1. The cross-section of the fish tank body 1 is rectangular, and the material of the fish tank body 1 is either glass or transparent acrylic. The top of the fish tank body 1 is provided with a feeding module 2 for feeding and a lighting module. The lighting module on the top includes a light 3 for turning the lighting on and off. The feeding module 2 includes a feeding trough 21, a feeding motor 22, a screw 23, and an eccentric motor. The screw 23 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the feeding trough 21. During installation, the bottom section of the feeding trough 21 is tilted at an angle of not less than 5° relative to the horizontal direction, and the screw 23 is fixed at the lowest point of the bottom surface of the feeding trough 21, so that the output shaft of the feeding motor 22 is rotatably connected to the screw 23. At the same time, the bait in the feeding trough 21 is vibrated and flows into the screw 23 through the eccentric motor (not shown in the figure), so that the poorly flowing bait is vibrated to the bottom of the feeding trough 21 and pushed out into the aquarium body 1 under the rotation of the feeding motor 22. This realizes that the feeding module 2 controls the feeding machine to feed the fish at a time and in a quantitative manner.

[0033] A heating module 4 for heating the aquarium, a water replenishment module 6, an aeration module 7 for purification and oxygenation, and an electronic control module 5 are installed on the inner bottom of the aquarium body 1. The heating module 4 includes a heating element 41 and a temperature sensor 42. The heating element 41 is either a heating plate or a heating film. The heating element 41 can control the water temperature in the aquarium body 1 according to the temperature set by the temperature sensor 42. When the water temperature is too low, the electronic control module 5 controls the heating element 41 in the heating module 4 to heat the water, thereby achieving automatic temperature control of the water in the aquarium. The water replenishment module 6 includes a water tank, a water level sensor, and a water pump 61. The water replenishment tank (not shown in the figure) is connected to the water replenishment pump 61 via a water pipe. The water level sensor is installed on the inner wall of the aquarium body 1. The water replenishment tank is used to hold water. When the water level sensor detects that the water level in the aquarium body 1 is lower than the lowest position of the sensor, the water replenishment pump 61 works to draw water from the water replenishment tank into the aquarium body 1 until the water level reaches the highest value of the water level sensor, thereby realizing automatic replenishment of the water level in the aquarium body 1. The air replenishment module 7 includes an air replenishment pump 71, an air pipe, and a sponge filter (not shown in the figure) for purifying water quality. One end of the air pipe is connected to the outlet of the air replenishment pump 71, and the other end is connected to the sponge filter.

[0034] In use, the electronic control module 5 is electrically connected sequentially to the feeding module 2, lighting module 4, heating module 4, water replenishment module 6, and air replenishment module 7 to control the internal circuitry of the aquarium body 1. The electronic control module 5 includes an LCD display 51 and a PCB mainboard 52. The LCD display 51 is mounted on the front side wall of the aquarium body 1. The PCB mainboard 52 is electrically connected to the feeding motor 22, eccentric motor, lighting lamp 3, heating element 41, water replenishment pump 61, and air replenishment pump 71. The PCB mainboard 52 is also electrically connected to the temperature sensor 42. The connection is used to control the heating module 4 to heat the aquarium body 1. The PCB motherboard 52 is electrically connected to the water level sensor to control the water replenishment module 6 to add water to the aquarium body 1. Through the control of the electronic control module 5, the aquarium can be automatically fed, and the functions of temperature control, lighting, water replenishment, oxygenation and water purification can be guaranteed to be performed at regular intervals and in quantitative amounts. This ensures that the aquarium can operate on its own for a certain period of time, greatly reducing the workload of ornamental fish keepers and avoiding the need for them to spend time and energy on trivial matters every day. This makes the ornamental fish breeding system more widely applicable.

[0035] The specific method of using this utility model includes the following steps:

[0036] S1: Automatic feeding of fish tank: The feed is stored in the feed trough 21 of the feeding module 2. The feeding motor 22 and the eccentric motor are turned on by the electronic control module 5. The feeding motor 22 drives the screw 23 set at the bottom of the feed trough 21 to rotate and push the feed into the fish tank. The vibration of the eccentric motor causes the poorly flowing feed to collapse onto the screw 23 and be pushed out, so as to realize the feeding module 2 controls the feeder to feed the fish tank in a timed and quantitative manner.

[0037] S2: The lighting module 3 in the lighting module is turned on and off via the electronic control module 5;

[0038] S3: Control of water temperature in aquarium body 1: During use, the aquarium controls the water temperature in the aquarium according to the temperature set by temperature sensor 42. When the water temperature is too low, the heating tube 41 in heating module 4 is controlled by electronic control module 5 to heat the water, thereby realizing automatic temperature control of the water in the aquarium.

[0039] S4: Automatic water replenishment in the aquarium body 1: As the aquarium loses water through evaporation during long-term use, the water level in the aquarium will drop. When the water level sensor detects that the water level is lower than the lowest position of the water level sensor, the water replenishment pump 61 in the water replenishment module 6 is controlled by the electronic control module 5 to work and draw water from the water replenishment tank into the aquarium until the water level reaches the highest value of the water level sensor.

[0040] S5: Automatic aeration in the aquarium body 1: During operation, the aquarium controls the aeration pump 71 in the aeration module 7 through the electronic control module 5 to aerate the water in the aquarium. The sponge filter set at the air outlet in the aeration module 7 purifies the water in the aquarium. The aeration module 7 can aerate and purify the water at regular intervals.

[0041] S6: The electronic control module 5 controls various functional modules to automatically feed, control temperature, light, replenish water, oxygenate, and purify the fish tank at regular intervals and in quantitative quantities, ensuring that the fish tank can operate on its own for a certain period of time.

[0042] Therefore, this utility model adopts a circuit control system to automatically control the ornamental fish breeding system to realize functions such as automatic water replenishment, feeding, water purification, temperature control, oxygenation and lighting. The intelligent breeding tank it provides can ensure reliable operation for a certain period of time, greatly reducing the workload of ornamental fish enthusiasts and avoiding them having to spend time and energy on trivial matters every day, making the ornamental fish breeding system more widely applicable.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solution of this utility model, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model.
