Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of aquarium heating equipment, and in particular to a detachable aquarium heating equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the aquarium hobby, enthusiasts often purchase non-native fish species for breeding. However, ornamental fish species are quite sensitive to environmental changes. After being removed from their native or natural habitats, they may become unwell, exhibiting symptoms such as fading color and shrinking fins, or even dying due to maladaptation. Therefore, aquarium heating equipment is widely used to create an aquarium ecosystem that closely resembles the native environment of non-native fish species, or to maintain a constant water temperature in a small aquarium.

[0003] However, the presence of pet excrement in the aquarium creates a eutrophic environment. When aquarium heating equipment is used for continuous heating over a long period, algae tend to grow. Excrement and algae adhere to the surface of the aquarium heating equipment and in the assembly gaps, which will affect the heat conduction efficiency between the heat pipes and the water. In some cases, localized heat accumulation may even damage the heat pipes, creating safety hazards. Utility Model Content
