Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquarium supplies technology, specifically to a sand washer. Background Technology

[0002] Aquariums are essential equipment for indoor fishkeeping, and water quality management is crucial to ensuring a good living environment for the fish. After fish have been kept in the aquarium for a period of time, fish excrement, food residue, and other impurities will accumulate in the sand layer. Simultaneously, excessive nitrogen and phosphorus levels from leftover fish food and the decomposition of fish excrement can lead to algae growth on the aquarium walls. Currently, existing sand washers have relatively limited functions, only able to clean contaminants in a specific area. For example, the low-water-level sand washer disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN217389715U can achieve low-water-level sand washing. However, this sand washer places the water pump inside the washing head cavity. When other suction connectors are needed to clean algae, the connectors are not well-matched with the sand washer, resulting in poor versatility. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a sand washing device that solves the problem of poor versatility of existing sand washing devices.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A sand washer, including a water pump, and further comprising:

[0006] The connector is located at the water inlet of the water pump;

[0007] The suction connector is detachably mounted on the connector base;

[0008] The outlet pipe is installed at the outlet of the water pump;

[0009] The filter cartridge is used to connect to the outlet end of the water pipe;

[0010] A battery holder is located at the top of the water outlet pipe, and the battery holder is equipped with wires for connecting to the water pump.

[0011] The suction connector and the connecting seat are plug-in mating.

[0012] The suction connector is duckbill shaped, and a scraper is provided at the inlet of the suction connector.

[0013] The suction connector includes a connecting pipe and a suction head that are interconnected. One end of the connecting pipe is provided with a first connecting part that is ball-shaped. One end of the suction head is provided with a second connecting part that is ball-shaped and mates with the first connecting part. The second connecting part is provided with a limiting shaft that passes through the first connecting part. One side of the second connecting part is provided with a through groove. The outer wall of the first connecting part is provided with a protrusion that passes through the through groove. A knob is provided at the second connecting part. The side of the knob near the second connecting part is provided with an arc-shaped groove for mates with the protrusion.

[0014] The suction connector is a hollow column shape, and a filter screen is installed inside the suction connector.

[0015] The bottom of the suction nozzle is equipped with bristles.

[0016] The battery holder has a handle-like structure.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] After the water containing dirt is absorbed by the suction connector, it enters the filter cartridge through the outlet pipe for filtration and then re-enters the aquarium. Different types of suction connectors can be installed and removed from the mounting base to clean different types of dirt in the aquarium, making it highly versatile. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0029] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, a sand washer includes a water pump 1, and further includes:

[0030] Connector 2 is located at the inlet of water pump 1;

[0031] The suction connector 3 is detachably mounted on the connector 3;

[0032] Water outlet pipe 4 is installed at the outlet of water pump 1;

[0033] Filter cartridge 5 is used to connect to the outlet end of water outlet pipe 4;

[0034] A battery holder 6 is located at the top of the water outlet pipe 4, and the battery holder 6 is equipped with a wire 7 for connecting to the water pump 1.

[0035] After the water containing dirt is absorbed by the suction connector 3, it enters the filter cartridge 5 through the outlet pipe 4 for filtration and then re-enters the aquarium. Different types of suction connectors 3 can be installed and removed from the mounting base 2 to clean different types of dirt in the aquarium, making it highly versatile.

[0036] In the embodiments, such as Figure 8 As shown, the suction connector 3 and the connecting seat 2 are plug-in connected. The suction connector 3 can be easily installed and removed by plugging and unplugging.

[0037] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the suction connector 3 is duckbill-shaped, and a scraper 8 is provided at the inlet of the suction connector 3. The scraper 8 can scrape off the algae adhering to the inner wall of the aquarium, and then it is sucked away by the suction connector 3.

[0038] In the embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, the suction connector 3 includes a connecting pipe 31 and a suction head 32 that are interconnected. One end of the connecting pipe 31 is provided with a first connecting part 33 in the shape of a ball head. One end of the suction head is provided with a second connecting part 34 in the shape of a ball socket that cooperates with the first connecting part 33. The second connecting part 34 is provided with a limiting shaft 35 that passes through the first connecting part 33. A through groove 36 is provided on one side of the second connecting part 34. The outer wall of the first connecting part 33 is provided with a protrusion 37 that passes through the through groove 36. A knob 9 is provided at the second connecting part. The side of the knob 9 near the second connecting part 34 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 10 for cooperating with the protrusion 37. The limiting shaft 35 is used to prevent the suction head 32 from rotating in all directions. By rotating the knob 9, the protrusion 37 can be moved in the arc groove 10, which can adjust the angle between the suction head 32 and the connecting pipe 31. At the same time, the suction head 32 will not rotate easily after adjustment, making it easy to clean algae adhering to the inner wall of the aquarium in different positions.

[0039] In the embodiments, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the suction connector 3 is a hollow column shape, and a filter screen 11 is provided inside the suction connector 3. The filter screen 11 can block sand and gravel, and can be used to clean fish feces and food residue in the sand layer.

[0040] In the embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the bottom of the suction connector 3 is equipped with bristles 12. The bristles 12 can clean the dirt on the inner wall of the aquarium, and the cleaned dirt is directly sucked away by the suction connector 3.

[0041] In the embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, the battery holder 6 has a handle structure. This allows the user to hold the battery holder 6 stably and prevents it from slipping out of their hand.

[0042] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely illustrative examples and not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, these obvious variations or modifications derived from the essential spirit of this utility model still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
