Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a simple water flow deflector and noise reduction device for aquariums, particularly an integrated small aquarium or turtle tank water flow noise reduction device, belonging to the technical field of water flow noise reduction for aquatic pet filters. Background Technology

[0002] Many people keep fish or turtles, which means they need filters in their tanks to keep the water clean. However, the integrated aquarium filters on the market do not solve the problem of loud water flow noise, making the living environment of the keepers not quiet enough in the long run, which is a regret of choosing to keep fish.

[0003] In response to this market demand, the inventor has proposed a low-cost, simple, and quiet water flow guide to meet the needs of both those who have already purchased defective filters and those who produce integrated, improved filters. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a simple flow-guiding and noise-reducing accessory for aquariums to solve the water flow noise problem of integrated aquarium filters.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved by adopting the following technical solution: a blocking plate (11) is provided at one end of the guide channel (1), a water outlet (12) is provided at the other end of the guide channel (1), and a fixing plate (2) is fixedly connected below the water outlet (12).

[0006] Preferably, the fixing plate (2) is installed on the water pump's water supply pipe by the user or fixed on the water pump's water supply pipe by the manufacturer.

[0007] Preferably, the angle between the fixing plate (2) and the guide channel (1) is between 90° and 135°.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0009] 1) For users who have already purchased older models that are noisy, this part can be installed at a low cost to achieve completely silent water flow.

[0010] 2) For users who have already purchased older models that are noisy, the noise can be resolved by fixing the fixing plate 2 to the water pipe on the water pump using heat shrink tape or other methods.

[0011] 3) For manufacturers that iterate on the production of this silent filter, new users can enjoy a quiet experience, which improves the technical sophistication.

[0012] 4) For turtle owners, this soundproofing component can prevent damage and instability to the device caused by turtles scratching or lying down. Attached Figure Description

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to understand the technical solution of the present invention more clearly, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.

[0018] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a simple flow guide and noise reduction accessory for a fish tank. One end of the flow guide channel 1 is provided with a blocking plate 11, and the other end of the flow guide channel 1 is provided with a water outlet 12. A fixing plate 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water outlet 12. The fixing plate 2 is installed on the water pump water pipe by the user or fixed on the water pump water pipe by the manufacturer. The angle between the fixing plate 2 and the flow guide channel 1 is between 90° and 135°.

[0019] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a blocking plate 11 is provided at one end of the flow channel 1, and a water outlet 12 is provided at the other end of the flow channel 1. A fixing plate 2 is fixedly connected below the water outlet 12. The fixing plate 2 is installed on the water pump's water supply pipe by the user or fixed on the water pump's water supply pipe by the manufacturer. Specifically, the water flowing down from above is collected by the flow channel 1, and then fixed on the water pump's water supply pipe by the fixing plate 2, and then guided to the water pump's water supply pipe, and then flows down the outer wall of the water pump's water supply pipe, thus making it quiet.

[0020] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the angle between the fixed plate 2 and the guide channel 1 is between 90° and 135°. Specifically, the optimal angle is 105°. This can prevent water from flowing out of the other end of the guide channel 1 and allow water to flow out from the water outlet 12. In addition, it can shorten the height of the device to accommodate more models.

[0021] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, the working process of the simple aquarium flow guide and noise reduction device provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0022] Step 1: Measure the fixed position of this device so that the water is completely guided and flows to the bottom of the outer wall of the water pump's upper pipe;

[0023] Step 2: Visually inspect or mark the position of fixing plate 2 on the water pipe of the water pump;

[0024] Step 3: Remove the water pump inlet pipe from the filter, and fix the fixing plate 2 to the determined position on the water pump inlet pipe using hot melt tape or other methods;

[0025] Step 4: After securing the pump, install the water inlet pipe and observe the noise reduction effect. If any issues are found, repeat the above steps to achieve a quiet operation.

[0026] In summary, in this embodiment, a simple flow-guiding and noise-reducing aquarium accessory is provided.

[0027] The above description is merely a further embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and concept of the present invention, shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
