Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquarium equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic movement mechanism for hanging aquarium walls. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, fish tanks sometimes require external equipment for daily use, such as lights, filters, air pumps, and fixed cameras. However, existing fish tanks are often not suitable for installing such equipment.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as Chinese Patent Publication No. CN211211026U, disclose a fish tank that addresses the technical problem of suspending items like food, oxygen generators, purification devices, and decorations within the tank, a problem that current fish tanks cannot solve. The key feature of this invention is its rear wall, which is a sandwiched wall composed of an inner wall, an outer wall, and a hollow cavity formed by the two walls. A serpentine water supply pipe is located within the water supply pipe cavity, and at least one permanent magnet is fixed to the inner wall of the hollow cavity. Iron hanging items placed inside the fish tank are attracted to the magnet. The advantage of this invention is that it allows for the convenient suspension of necessary items within the fish tank. However, this invention only allows for the fixed placement of the equipment in a fixed position within the fish tank; it cannot be moved or adjusted adaptively, limiting its applicability.

[0004] To address the issue of fish tanks being inconvenient for mounting various related equipment and for moving and adjusting their positions, existing technologies typically employ equipment with fixed installation locations, limited functionality, and restricted viewing angles. While some underwater robots or mobile cleaners exist, they are complex in structure, bulky, and expensive, and usually focus on a single cleaning function, making them unsuitable as general-purpose mobile platforms to support other functional modules. Furthermore, most of these devices rely on tracks or propellers for propulsion, which makes them less flexible or prone to jamming on narrow fish tank walls, especially at right-angle turns. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that fish tanks are not convenient for mounting various related equipment and for moving and adjusting their positions in the existing technology, and to propose an automatic moving mechanism for hanging fish tanks on the wall.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an automatic wall-mounting mechanism for a fish tank, comprising a fish tank and a wall-mounting mechanism, wherein the wall-mounting mechanism is disposed on the surface of the fish tank;

[0007] The wall-mounted motion mechanism includes a main frame and a small DC motor. The small DC motor is fixedly installed inside the main frame. The output end of the small DC motor is fixedly connected to a drive wheel. An outer guide wheel is rotatably connected to the surface of the main frame, and a top guide wheel is rotatably connected to the surface of the main frame.

[0008] A cylindrical pin is fixedly connected to the surface of the main frame. A sleeve is fitted onto the surface of the cylindrical pin. A groove is formed on the surface of the sleeve. The cylindrical pin is slidably connected to the surface of the groove. An inner driven wheel is rotatably connected to the surface of the sleeve. A spring is fitted onto the surface of the cylindrical pin. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the cylindrical pin, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive wheel, outer guide wheel, top guide wheel, and inner driven wheel all roll in contact with the surface of the aquarium, the main frame is U-shaped, and the cylindrical pin is T-shaped.

[0010] Furthermore, the number of the drive wheel, outer guide wheel, cylindrical pin, and spring are all two sets, with the two sets of drive wheels arranged symmetrically and the two sets of outer guide wheels arranged symmetrically.

[0011] Furthermore, the surfaces of the driving wheel, the outer guide wheel, the top guide wheel, and the inner driven wheel are all provided with anti-slip textures, and the number of anti-slip textures is multiple and evenly distributed.

[0012] Furthermore, the surface of the main frame is provided with an installation adjustment mechanism, which includes a bidirectional threaded rod. The bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the main frame, and a movable frame is threadedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod. The movable frame is slidably connected to the inner wall of the main frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the number of movable frames is two sets and they are arranged symmetrically. The surface of each movable frame is fixedly connected to a mounting bracket. The surface of each mounting bracket is provided with mounting holes. There are two sets of mounting holes, and each set contains multiple mounting holes.

[0014] Furthermore, a worm gear is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the main frame, a worm wheel is fixedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod, the worm wheel meshes with the surface of the worm gear, and a knob is fixedly connected to the surface of the worm gear.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, by setting up a wall-mounted motion mechanism, two small DC motors are started to rotate in the same direction and at the same speed, driving the drive wheel to move the entire main frame linearly along the tank wall to achieve forward or backward movement. When approaching the rounded bend of the tank, the drive wheel will press against the outer tank wall, and at the same time, under the action of the inner spring, the sleeve will slide against the cylindrical pin, so that the inner driven wheel applies pressure to the tank wall, ensuring sufficient friction between the drive wheel and the tank wall when passing through the rounded bend. Combined with the constraint and guidance of the outer guide wheel and the top guide wheel, the main frame can achieve smooth movement. The rounded corners and continuous spring pressure keep the inner driven wheel pressed tightly against the aquarium wall, while the main frame pulls the outer drive wheel and outer guide wheel towards the outer wall, creating a stable clamping force to ensure it won't fall off during movement. A wall-mounted mechanism allows functional modules mounted on the main frame, such as small cameras, sensors, and cleaning mechanisms, to move freely on the tank wall, providing multi-angle, dynamic observation or operation capabilities. The relatively simple structure facilitates miniaturization and cost reduction, and its ease of installation and removal effectively enhances the equipment's convenience.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, by setting up an installation adjustment mechanism, rotating the knob causes the worm gear to drive the worm wheel and the double-threaded rod to rotate, thereby causing the two sets of movable frames to move towards or away from each other. With the help of the two sets of multiple mounting holes, it can accommodate the installation of more equipment. Moreover, the self-locking function of the worm gear and worm wheel gives the mounting frame good stability. By setting up an installation adjustment mechanism, the position of the mounting frame and the selection of appropriate mounting holes can be adjusted according to the specifications of different equipment, thereby improving the adaptability of the main frame to the mounting of various equipment and effectively enhancing the applicability of the equipment.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic wall-mounting mechanism for a fish tank, including a fish tank 1 and a wall-mounting mechanism 2, wherein the wall-mounting mechanism 2 is disposed on the surface of the fish tank 1.

[0028] The following section will explain the specific settings and functions of its wall-mounted motion mechanism 2 and installation adjustment mechanism 3.

[0029] In this embodiment: the wall-mounted motion mechanism 2 includes a main frame 201 and a small DC motor 202. The small DC motor 202 is fixedly installed inside the main frame 201. The output end of the small DC motor 202 is fixedly connected to a drive wheel 203. The surface of the main frame 201 is rotatably connected to an outer guide wheel 204. The surface of the main frame 201 is rotatably connected to a top guide wheel 205.

[0030] A cylindrical pin 206 is fixedly connected to the surface of the main frame 201. A sleeve 207 is sleeved and connected to the surface of the cylindrical pin 206. A sliding groove 208 is opened on the surface of the sleeve 207. The cylindrical pin 206 is slidably connected to the surface of the sliding groove 208. An inner driven wheel 209 is rotatably connected to the surface of the sleeve 207. A spring 210 is sleeved and connected to the surface of the cylindrical pin 206. One end of the spring 210 is fixedly connected to the surface of the cylindrical pin 206, and the other end of the spring 210 is fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding groove 208.

[0031] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the main frame 201 is set to facilitate the mounting of various equipment; the small DC motor 202 and the drive wheel 203 are set to enable the main frame 201 to move when the small DC motor 202 is started and the drive wheel 203 is rotated; the outer guide wheel 204 and the top guide wheel 205 are set to increase the stability of the main frame 201 during placement and movement; the cylindrical pin 206, the sleeve 207, the slide 208, the inner driven wheel 209 and the spring 210 are set to apply a certain pressure to the inner wall of the fish tank 1 during placement and movement, so that the main frame 201 can be clamped on the tank wall of the fish tank 1, and the drive wheel 203 has sufficient friction with the tank wall to move normally.

[0032] Specifically, the drive wheel 203, the outer guide wheel 204, the top guide wheel 205, and the inner driven wheel 209 all roll in contact with the surface of the fish tank 1. The main frame 201 is arranged in a "U" shape, and the cylindrical pin 206 is arranged in a "T" shape.

[0033] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the main frame 201 is set in a "U" shape to facilitate placement on the tank wall of the fish tank 1, and the cylindrical pin 206 is set in a "T" shape to facilitate the use of the spring 210 so that the sleeve 207 can slide along the surface of the cylindrical pin 206, and also to prevent the sleeve 207 from detaching from the cylindrical pin 206.

[0034] Specifically, there are two sets of drive wheels 203, outer guide wheels 204, cylindrical pins 206 and springs 210. The two sets of drive wheels 203 are arranged symmetrically, and the two sets of outer guide wheels 204 are arranged symmetrically.

[0035] The above components achieve the following effect: the two sets of drive wheels 203, outer guide wheels 204, cylindrical pins 206 and springs 210 are provided to increase stability during movement and placement.

[0036] Specifically, the surfaces of the driving wheel 203, the outer guide wheel 204, the top guide wheel 205, and the inner driven wheel 209 are all provided with anti-slip textures 211, and the anti-slip textures 211 are in multiple sets and are evenly distributed.

[0037] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: the anti-slip texture 211 is set to increase friction and avoid slipping due to insufficient friction during movement.

[0038] Specifically, the surface of the main frame 201 is provided with an installation adjustment mechanism 3, which includes a bidirectional threaded rod 31. The bidirectional threaded rod 31 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the main frame 201, and a movable frame 32 is threadedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 31. The movable frame 32 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the main frame 201.

[0039] The effect achieved by the above components is that the bidirectional threaded rod 31 and the movable frame 32 are provided so that when the bidirectional threaded rod 31 rotates, the two sets of movable frames 32 can move towards each other or away from each other.

[0040] Specifically, there are two sets of movable frames 32 arranged symmetrically. The surface of the movable frame 32 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 33. The surface of the mounting frame 33 is provided with mounting holes 34. There are two sets of mounting holes 34, and each set has multiple mounting holes 34.

[0041] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the mounting bracket 33 and mounting holes 34 are provided to facilitate the installation of various types of equipment, and the two sets of mounting holes 34, with each set having multiple holes, are provided to adapt to the installation requirements of equipment of different specifications.

[0042] Specifically, a worm gear 35 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the main frame 201, a worm wheel 36 is fixedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 31, the worm wheel 36 is meshed with the surface of the worm gear 35, and a knob 37 is fixedly connected to the surface of the worm gear 35.

[0043] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the worm 35 and worm wheel 36 are provided to facilitate the rotation of the bidirectional threaded rod 31, and their self-locking function is used to prevent the bidirectional threaded rod 31 from rotating arbitrarily, thereby increasing the stability of the mounting bracket 33; the knob 37 is provided to facilitate the rotation of the worm 35.

[0044] Working principle: By setting up the wall-mounted motion mechanism 2, two small DC motors 202 are started to rotate in the same direction and at the same speed, driving the drive wheel 203 to move the entire main frame 201 in a straight line along the tank wall of the fish tank 1 to achieve forward or backward movement. When approaching the rounded bend of the fish tank 1, the drive wheel 203 will be in close contact with the outer tank wall. At the same time, under the action of the inner spring 210, the sleeve 207 will slide against the cylindrical pin 206, so that the inner driven wheel 209 applies pressure to the tank wall, ensuring that the friction between the drive wheel 203 and the tank wall is sufficient when passing through the rounded bend. Combined with the constraint and guidance of the outer guide wheel 204 and the top guide wheel 205, the main frame 201 moves forward or backward. 01 allows for smooth, rounded turns. Utilizing the continuous pressure of spring 210, the inner driven wheel 209 presses tightly against the inner wall of the aquarium 1. Simultaneously, the main frame 201 pulls the outer drive wheel 203 and outer guide wheel 204 towards the outer wall, creating a stable clamping force to ensure it won't detach during movement. By incorporating a wall-mounted motion mechanism 2, functional modules mounted on the main frame 201, such as small cameras, sensors, and cleaning mechanisms, can move freely on the tank wall, providing multi-angle, dynamic observation or operation capabilities. The structure is relatively simple, easily miniaturized and cost-effective, and easy to install and remove, effectively improving the equipment's convenience.

[0045] Furthermore, by setting up an installation adjustment mechanism 3, rotating the knob 37 causes the worm gear 35 to drive the worm wheel 36 and the bidirectional threaded rod 31 to rotate, thereby causing the two sets of movable frames 32 to drive the mounting frame 33 to move towards each other or away from each other. With the help of the two sets of multiple mounting holes 34 opened on it, it can accommodate the installation of more equipment. Moreover, the self-locking function of the worm wheel 36 and worm gear 35 makes the mounting frame 33 have good stability. By setting up an installation adjustment mechanism 3, the position of the mounting frame 33 and the selection of appropriate mounting holes 34 can be adjusted according to the specifications of different equipment, thereby improving the adaptability of the main frame 201 to the mounting of various equipment, thus effectively improving the applicability of the equipment.
