Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of aquarium filtration technology, specifically a modular aquarium dry and wet separation filtration system. Background Technology
[0002] Aquarium filtration systems are a core component in maintaining the living environment of aquatic organisms. Their function is to remove suspended solids, organic matter, ammonia nitrogen, and other pollutants from the water, maintaining stable water quality. Dry-wet separation filtration, as a highly efficient form of filtration, achieves the dual effect of "intercepting impurities in the dry zone and cultivating nitrifying bacteria in the wet zone" by separating physical and biological filtration. It has been widely used in ornamental fish farming and ecological aquariums. With the development of the aquarium industry, users' demands for filtration systems' integration, ease of maintenance, space utilization, and personalization are increasing, gradually revealing the limitations of traditional filtration systems.
[0003] Aquariums come in various sizes and contain varying amounts of organisms. The amount of waste produced by the same organisms also varies. To maintain a stable filtration effect in an aquarium, adjustments can only be made by changing the frequency of replacing filter cotton and biological filter media. This is somewhat inconvenient, and different sizes of aquariums require custom-made filter modules, which leads to high production costs for aquariums. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a modular aquarium dry-wet separation filtration system. It can maintain stable filtration performance while improving ease of use and reducing production and development costs by combining multiple filter modules and splicing multiple filter modules together.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:
[0006] A modular aquarium dry-wet separation filtration system includes a water tank, a filter box on one side of the water tank, a partition in the filter box dividing the filter box into a water circulation chamber and a filtration chamber, and a plurality of filtration modules installed in the filtration chamber. Each filtration module includes a flow guiding module, a dry-wet separation module, and a biochemical culture module. The flow guiding module, the dry-wet separation module, and the biochemical culture module are sequentially plugged together to form a filtration module.
[0007] The flow guiding module has a water inlet hole and a handle. The dry and wet separation module contains filter cotton. The bottom of the dry and wet separation module has several water drop holes evenly distributed. The biochemical culture module contains biochemical filter media. The bottom and outer bottom of the biochemical culture module have water outlet grids. The bottom of the biochemical culture module has a grid pad.
[0008] The water circulation chamber is equipped with a water pump and water pipes.
[0009] The filter chamber inside the filter box is separated into an inlet and outlet chamber by a partition on the side near the middle of the water tank. The filter box has an upper fish comb opening and a lower fish comb opening at the top and bottom of the inlet chamber, respectively. The filter box has a return water hole at the top of the water circulation chamber.
[0010] The bottom of the partition has a connecting port, which connects the bottom of the water circulation chamber and the filter chamber.
[0011] The number of filter modules in the filter chamber is one or more sets, and each set of filter modules has one or more biochemical culture modules and dry-wet separation modules.
[0012] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This invention can meet the filtration needs of different aquariums by combining multiple filter modules and splicing multiple filter modules.

[0023] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.
[0024] Combined with appendix Figures 1-8 A modular aquarium dry-wet separation filtration system includes a water tank 1, a filter box 2 on one side of the water tank 1, a partition 3 in the filter box 2, the partition 3 dividing the filter box 2 into a water circulation chamber 4 and a filter chamber 5, and a plurality of filter modules installed in the filter chamber 5. The filter module includes a flow guiding module 51, a dry-wet separation module 52, and a biochemical culture module 53. The flow guiding module 51, the dry-wet separation module 52, and the biochemical culture module 53 are sequentially plugged together to form a filter module.
[0025] The flow guiding module 51 has a water inlet hole 510 and a handle 511. The dry and wet separation module 52 contains filter cotton and has several evenly spaced water drop holes 520 at its bottom. The biochemical culture module 53 contains biochemical filter media and has water outlet grilles 530 at its bottom and outer bottom. The bottom of the biochemical culture module 53 has a grille pad 531. The grille pad 531 is used to support the biochemical filter media, preventing the filter media from directly contacting the bottom, making the water flow at the bottom of the filter module smoother and more uniform, and improving the filtration efficiency.
[0026] A water pump and water pipes are installed in the water circulation chamber 4; after the water pump is working, it continuously pumps the water at the bottom of the water circulation chamber 4 back to the water tank 1.
[0027] The filter chamber 5 inside the filter box 2 is separated into an inlet and outlet chamber 20 by a partition on the side near the middle of the water tank 1. The filter box 2 has an upper fish comb opening 21 and a lower fish comb opening 22 at the top and bottom of the inlet chamber 20, respectively. The filter box 2 has a return water hole 23 at the top of the water circulation chamber 4. The return water hole 23 is used to install the return water outlet end of the water pump pipe.
[0028] The bottom of the partition 3 has a connecting port 30, which connects the bottom of the water circulation chamber 4 and the filter chamber 5. The upper part of the partition 3 may have an overflow hole 31. The water pump in the water circulation chamber 4 continuously draws water filtered by the filter module from the bottom of the filter chamber 5 through the connecting port 30. The overflow hole 31 is used to overflow the water circulation chamber 4 when the water level in the filter chamber 5 rises due to excessive impurities in the filter module, keeping the water pump working normally and preventing the water pump from burning dry.
[0029] A sand baffle 220 can be slidably installed on the lower fish comb opening 22. The sand baffle 220 can move up and down to prevent mud and sand from being sucked into the water inlet chamber 20.
[0030] The filter chamber 5 contains one or more filter modules. Each filter module group contains one or more biochemical culture modules 53 and dry-wet separation modules 52. Multiple biochemical culture modules 53 can be installed together in sequence through a plug-in structure. Multiple filter modules can be connected together by snap-fit. The plug-in structure is a connection method where a plug and a socket cooperate. When disassembling, the plug can be pushed by hand to make it elastically deform and exit the socket. When multiple biochemical culture modules 53 are placed, the biochemical culture modules 53 that are not located at the bottom only have a water outlet grille 530 at the bottom.
[0031] When using this device, select the appropriate number of filter modules and the quantity of each module according to the filtration needs of the aquarium. Assemble the modules together, and place several filter modules into the aquarium for use. The basket-style filter module design allows you to easily remove the filter module after the filter media has accumulated to a certain extent, disassemble each module to replace the filter cotton and biological filter media, and put it back. The operation is very convenient.
[0032] The water flow path and filtration principle in the aquarium are as follows: Water in tank 1 enters the inlet chamber 20 through the upper fish comb opening 21 and the lower fish comb opening 22. The water is guided by the flow guide module 51 and enters the dry and wet separation module through the inlet hole 510. Excrement and impurities in the water are effectively filtered by the filter cotton. The filtered water falls into the biological culture module 53 through the drain hole 520. The biological filter media can promote the reproduction of microorganisms such as nitrifying bacteria and maintain the stability of the microbial ecology in the water. The water filtered by the biological filter media flows into the water circulation chamber 4 through the connecting port 30 and is pumped back to tank 1 by the water pump. Thus, the physical and biological filtration of the water in the aquarium is completed.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
