Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquarium technology, and more specifically, to an automatic water-changing aquarium. Background Technology

[0002] An aquarium is a transparent container, usually made of glass, used to house tropical fish or goldfish for ornamental purposes. Currently, aquariums with filtration systems typically circulate the water, carrying fish waste and other debris. This waste is then filtered out by the filter media, purifying the water. However, this closed system only circulates the water, without adding new water. Over time, the water quality deteriorates, affecting the fish's health. Manual water changes are necessary, usually involving draining some water and adding fresh water. This is time-consuming, laborious, and involves large-volume water changes, disrupting the stability of the aquarium and causing stress to the fish. Therefore, overcoming these shortcomings is a pressing issue in this field. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides an automatic water-changing aquarium, aiming to improve the current situation where water changes in aquariums require manual changes, which is time-consuming and laborious, and also causes some damage to the stability of the entire water body in the aquarium, making the fish prone to stress reactions.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automatic water-changing fish tank, the specific technical solution of which is as follows:

[0005] An automatic water-changing aquarium includes a mounting frame on which an aquarium body is mounted. The aquarium body is connected to a filtration system, which filters impurities in the circulating water. The mounting frame is also equipped with an automatic water-changing mechanism, which includes a water tank connected to a first water pump. The first water pump is connected to the filtration system via an inlet pipe, and the filtration system is connected to an outlet pipe.

[0006] The first water pump can transport the pre-prepared water in the water tank to the filtration system through the inlet pipe. Then, the water in the filtration system enters the aquarium along with the water in the aquarium. As the water level in the aquarium increases, it overflows into the filtration system. Then, as the water level in the filtration system increases, it overflows into the outlet pipe. Finally, the outlet pipe discharges the overflowing water into the aquarium water circulation system.

[0007] In one embodiment, the interior of the water tank is provided with a partition that separates the interior of the water tank into a fresh water chamber and a wastewater chamber.

[0008] In one embodiment, the first water pump is located outside the water tank and is connected to the new water chamber of the water tank via a water pipe.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first water pump is located in the new water chamber of the water tank.

[0010] In one embodiment, the outlet pipe is connected to the wastewater chamber of the water tank.

[0011] In one embodiment, the front wall of the water tank is provided with a transparent plate, and a scale line is provided on one side of the transparent plate.

[0012] In one embodiment, the bottom of the water tank is provided with self-locking casters.

[0013] In one embodiment, storage boxes are installed on both sides of the mounting bracket.

[0014] In one embodiment, the filtration system is located on the side or bottom of the aquarium body.

[0015] In one embodiment, the filtration system is provided with a second water pump that powers the water circulation within the filtration system.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are:

[0017] By setting up an automatic water-changing mechanism, the first water pump periodically draws pre-prepared water from the tank into the aquarium at set intervals, adding new water to the aquarium. The water level in the aquarium rises due to the increase in new water, and then overflows into the outlet pipe. The overflowing water is discharged from the aquarium through the outlet pipe, thus discharging wastewater. This cycle is repeated continuously, eliminating the need for manual water changes. It can automatically change the water at set times, saving time and effort and greatly reducing the workload of fish keepers. Moreover, the amount of water changed each time is small, which will not damage the overall water quality stability in the aquarium and greatly improves the safety of water changes.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-7 An embodiment of this utility model provides an automatic water-changing fish tank, including a mounting frame 100. The mounting frame 100 can be constructed by welding square steel pipes and is used to mount the entire fish tank. Storage boxes 130 are installed on both sides of the mounting frame 100. The storage boxes 130 can be used to store fish food, fish medicine, fishing gear and other sundries, which facilitates the storage of items and makes the work more convenient.

[0032] Specifically, the mounting bracket 100 is equipped with a fish tank body 110, which is connected to a filtration system 120. The filtration system 120 is used to filter impurities in the circulating water of the fish tank. The filtration system 120 is equipped with a second water pump 121, which provides power for the water circulation within the filtration system 120. It should be noted that the filtration system 120 can be a side filter, also known as a back filter, which means that the filtration system 120 is installed on the side or back of the fish tank body 110, or it can be a bottom filter, which means that the filtration system 120 is installed on the bottom of the fish tank body 110. These two filtration systems are common filtration systems for fish tanks on the market and are common knowledge to those skilled in the art. Their specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0033] The mounting bracket 100 is also equipped with an automatic water changing mechanism 200, which includes a water tank 210. The water tank 210 can be designed as a single unit, meaning that the entire water tank 210 has only one storage space for holding new water for changing the water in the fish tank. Preferably, a partition 211 is provided inside the water tank 210, which divides the interior of the water tank 210 into two independent storage spaces: a new water chamber 214 and a wastewater chamber 215. The new water chamber 214 is used to hold pre-prepared new water. For example, sea salt can be added to the new water chamber 214 to prepare seawater to provide seawater for the fish tank, making it easier to raise marine fish. The wastewater chamber 215 is used to hold wastewater overflowing from the fish tank body 110, which is convenient for centralized treatment of wastewater later.

[0034] The water tank 210 is connected to a first water pump 220. The first water pump 220 is a water pump with a timer function, or it is connected to a timer. This allows the water pump to be started on demand, thereby achieving automatic, timed, and periodic water supply to the fish tank without the need for manual water changes. This greatly improves the degree of automation, saves time and effort, and the water supply volume is relatively small each time, which has little impact on the stability of the entire water body in the fish tank and will not harm the fish in the tank. The safety of water changes is greatly improved. The first water pump 220 is connected to the filtration system 120 through the inlet pipe 230, and the filtration system 120 is connected to the outlet pipe 240. The first water pump 220 can transport the water prepared in advance in the water tank 210 to the filtration system 120 through the inlet pipe 230, and then enter the fish tank body 110 together with the water in the filtration system 120. The inlet pipe 230 and the outlet pipe 240 are made of rubber hoses for easy installation.

[0035] The first water pump 220 can be installed outside the water tank 210. The inlet of the first water pump 220 is connected to the new water chamber 214 of the water tank 210 through a water pipe. The outlet of the first water pump 220 is connected to the filtration system 120 through the inlet pipe 230. Alternatively, the first water pump 220 can be directly placed inside the new water chamber 214 of the water tank 210 to directly draw new water from the new water chamber 214 and then connect to the filtration system 120 through the inlet pipe 230.

[0036] After the first water pump 220 delivers fresh water from the water tank 210 to the aquarium body 110, the water level in the aquarium body 110 increases and overflows into the filtration system 120. Then, as the water level in the filtration system 120 increases, the overflows into the outlet pipe 240, and the overflowing water is discharged from the aquarium water circulation system through the outlet pipe 240 (see water circulation flow direction). Figure 4 (As shown).

[0037] When the water tank is equipped with a wastewater chamber 215, the outlet pipe 240 can be connected to the wastewater chamber 215 of the water tank 210, so that the wastewater overflowing from the aquarium body 110 can be discharged into the wastewater chamber 215 for storage, which is convenient for subsequent treatment. When the water tank 210 does not have a wastewater chamber 215, the outlet pipe 240 can be connected to the sewer, so that the wastewater overflowing from the aquarium body 110 can be discharged into the sewer, thus realizing the discharge of wastewater.

[0038] Additionally, a transparent plate 212 can be installed on the front wall of the water tank 210, allowing the viewer to observe the water level inside the tank 210 from the outside, facilitating timely water replenishment and operation. A scale 213 is provided on one side of the transparent plate 212 to accurately determine the water volume, enabling water quality adjustment. For example, appropriate sea salt can be added to prepare seawater based on the water level. Self-locking casters 216 are installed at the bottom of the water tank 210, allowing movement to separate the tank from the mounting bracket 100 and facilitating water handling.

[0039] It should be noted that the motion state and trajectory of each mechanism in this device can be automatically controlled by CNC program or PLC programming, and automatic start-stop and automatic operation can be achieved in conjunction with position switches. The above-mentioned programs and programming are common knowledge to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0040] The specific model and specifications of the first water pump 220 and the second water pump 121 need to be selected and determined according to the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.

[0041] The power supply and operating principle of the first water pump 220 and the second water pump 121 are clear to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
