Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a fish tank lighting lamp, belonging to the technical field of sterilization lighting lamps. Background Technology
[0002] An aquarium is a water tank used to hold live fish. The tank is transparent, usually made of glass, and can also be used to keep tropical fish or goldfish for ornamental purposes. An aquarium is not only a home for the fish, but also a shared enjoyment for the family. It creates a warm home for the fish while ensuring the safety of the overall living environment, making it a perfect integration with the space and a sage in homes, offices, and commercial spaces. Ultraviolet (UV) sterilization lamps are installed inside the aquarium to disinfect the interior. These UV sterilization lamps are waterproof and have good sterilization effects when submerged in water; however, their outer walls are easily contaminated with impurities and dust, affecting light transmission and sterilization effectiveness.
[0003] Chinese patent publication (patent number: CN212719364U) discloses a disinfection and sterilization lamp for aquariums, including a bonding plate. A positioning block is fixedly installed on the right side of the bonding plate. A positioning hole is opened on the top of the positioning block, with one end penetrating through and extending to the bottom of the positioning block. A limiting rod is inserted into the top of the positioning block, with one end penetrating through the positioning hole and extending to the bottom of the positioning block. A fixing block is fixedly installed on the top of the limiting rod. This disinfection and sterilization lamp for aquariums, through the setting of a drive push rod, movable rod, top plate, connecting plate, and wiping plate, allows the user to attach the bonding plate to the inner wall of the aquarium. If too many impurities adhere to the outer wall of the UV sterilization lamp, affecting its sterilization effect, the drive push rod is activated. The drive push rod moves the wiping plate up and down on the outer wall of the UV sterilization lamp, cleaning the adhering substances. The user does not need to manually clean the UV sterilization lamp, making it simple and convenient.
[0004] However, fish's visual system is quite sensitive to light. Direct exposure to strong light may cause fish to feel anxious and fearful. Prolonged exposure to strong light may cause fish to become tense and uneasy, affecting their normal behavior and physiological functions. In addition, ultraviolet rays can damage fish cells, which can cause death or injury in severe cases. Furthermore, this device can only sterilize the water near the lamp tube, and the sterilization effect is extremely limited. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a fish tank lighting lamp that achieves good sterilization effect without harming fish.
[0006] A fish tank lighting fixture includes a UV lamp assembly and an external assembly;
[0007] The UV lamp assembly includes a lamp cover, a spiral flow channel installed on the inner side wall of the lamp cover, a lamp tube base installed on the inner bottom wall of the lamp cover, a UV lamp body installed on the inner side wall of the lamp tube base, a suction cup installed on the bottom of the lamp cover, a sealing cap threadedly connected to the top of the inner side wall of the lamp cover, a water inlet pipe connected to the top of the sealing cap, a water inlet hole opened on the sealing cap, the water inlet hole being located directly below the water inlet pipe, and a sealing ring installed on the bottom of the sealing cap.
[0008] Furthermore, the external components include a fish tank body and a support plate. Two plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate. Magnetic suction cups are installed on one side of each plate. One magnetic suction cup is located on the inner wall of the lampshade, and the other magnetic suction cup is located on the outer wall of the lampshade.
[0009] Furthermore, a water pump is installed on the top of the support plate, and the water pump is connected to a water pumping pipe through the water pumping end. A bottom filter is installed at the bottom of the water pumping pipe, and several water inlet grooves are opened on the outer side wall of the bottom filter.
[0010] Furthermore, the water pump is connected to an outlet pipe via an outlet end, and the bottom of the outlet pipe is connected to a purification tank. The inner side wall of the purification tank is slidably connected to drawers one, two, and three via rails from top to bottom. The inner side wall of drawer one is equipped with a stainless steel sintered mesh layer, the inner side wall of drawer two is equipped with a modified melt-blown polypropylene layer, and the inner side wall of drawer three is equipped with a sintered activated alumina ceramic layer. The bottom of the purification tank is connected to a connecting pipe, and the bottom of the connecting pipe is connected to the top of the inlet pipe.
[0011] Furthermore, a battery box is installed on the top of the support plate, and the battery box is electrically connected to the water pump and the UV lamp body.
[0012] Furthermore, the outer wall of the lampshade is evenly provided with several water outlet holes.
[0013] Furthermore, one side of the purification box is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fish tank body, and the bottom of the purification box is located above the water level line.
[0014] Beneficial effects:
[0015] I. This utility model utilizes a spiral flow channel, with a spiral flow channel installed on the inner wall of the UV lamp assembly's lampshade. Water enters from the top inlet pipe and, instead of flowing directly and rapidly through the lampshade, is forced to flow downwards along a spiral path. This significantly extends the residence time of the water within the effective irradiation area of the UV lamp body, thereby significantly improving the killing efficiency against various bacteria, viruses, and algal spores, achieving deep and efficient sterilization. Furthermore, the UV lamp body is completely sealed inside the lampshade, preventing ultraviolet rays from directly irradiating the aquarium water, thus completely avoiding potential damage to the fish's eyes, skin, and cell tissues, increasing the device's practicality.
[0016] II. This utility model, through the setting of a water pump, and through external components such as the water pump, water suction pipe, bottom filter and purification box, realizes the continuous and active circulation of the aquarium water. The water is drawn from the bottom of the aquarium, and after physical filtration and purification, it is pumped into the spiral flow channel of the UV lamp component for efficient sterilization. Finally, the clean water flows back to the aquarium through the water outlet on the lamp cover, performing systematic sterilization treatment on the entire aquarium water and ensuring the overall water quality.

Several water inlet grooves are opened on the outer side wall of the bottom filter 208.
[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the water pump 205 is connected to the water outlet pipe 209 through the water outlet end. The bottom of the water outlet pipe 209 is connected to the purification box 210. The inner side wall of the purification box 210 is connected to drawers 1 211, 216 and 3 217 respectively from top to bottom via rails. The inner side wall of drawer 1 211 is equipped with a stainless steel sintered mesh layer 212. The inner side wall of drawer 216 is equipped with a modified melt-blown polypropylene layer 213. The inner side wall of drawer 3 217 is equipped with a sintered active alumina ceramic layer 214. The bottom of the purification box 210 is connected to the connecting pipe 215. The bottom of the connecting pipe 215 is connected to the top of the water inlet pipe 108.
[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a battery box 206 is installed on the top of the support plate 202, and the battery box 206 is electrically connected to the water pump 205 and the UV lamp body 106.
[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer wall of the lampshade 101 is evenly provided with a plurality of water outlet holes 104.
[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, one side of the purification box 210 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the fish tank body 201, and the bottom of the purification box 210 is located above the water level line.
[0034] Working principle: After the system is started, the water pump 205 located on the support plate 202 starts to work, actively sucking water from the bottom of the aquarium body 201 through the water suction pipe 207 connected to its suction end. The bottom filter 208 installed at the end of the water suction pipe 207 plays a preliminary role in intercepting large particles of impurities. Subsequently, the water pump 205 pumps the water to be treated through the water outlet pipe 209 connected to its outlet end into the purification box 210 fixed to the inner wall of the aquarium. The purification box 210 has three stages of retractable drawer-type physical filtration layers from top to bottom. Drawer 1 211 is filled with a stainless steel sintered mesh layer 212, which mainly intercepts finer suspended particles. Drawer 21... The inner layer 213 of the 6th drawer is filled with modified meltblown polypropylene, which can effectively adsorb organic pollutants, fine impurities, and even some odors in the water. The inner layer 214 of the third drawer is filled with sintered activated alumina ceramic, which can adsorb soluble harmful substances such as phosphates and heavy metal ions. After these three layers of physical filtration and purification, the water quality is significantly improved, and turbidity and some dissolved pollutants in the water are effectively removed. This creates favorable conditions for subsequent efficient ultraviolet sterilization. The purified water flows out from the bottom of the purification tank 210 and is transported upward through the connecting pipe 215 to the water inlet pipe 108 at the top of the UV lamp assembly 100. The water flows through the water inlet pipe 108 and the sealing cover 107. The water enters through the corresponding inlet 109 into the completely sealed lamp cover 101. The key feature is the spiral flow channel 102 installed on the inner wall of the lamp cover 101. The water does not fall directly downwards but is forced in and flows along the path designed in the spiral flow channel 102, surrounding the UV lamp body 106 located at the center of the lamp cover 101 and mounted on the lamp tube base 103. This spiral flow slowly downwards greatly prolongs the residence time of the water within the effective irradiation area of the UV lamp. Because the spiral path is much longer than the straight-line height, and the flow channel cross-section controls the flow velocity, the water is fully and evenly exposed to the high-intensity ultraviolet radiation emitted by the UV lamp, promoting ultraviolet convection. The UV sterilization process deeply inactivates bacteria, viruses, algal spores, and other microorganisms in the water. Simultaneously, the entire UV sterilization process occurs within a completely sealed lampshade 101, strictly confining the ultraviolet light inside the lampshade 101 and preventing any leakage into the main water body of the aquarium. This completely eliminates the risk of UV damage to the fish's eyes, skin, and cell tissues. Finally, the clean water, after thorough UV sterilization, reaches the bottom of the lampshade 101 and flows back into the aquarium body 201 through several water outlets 104 evenly distributed on the outer wall of the lampshade 101. The lampshade 101 is then fixed to the bottom of the aquarium by suction cups 105 at its bottom.
