Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aquarium filtration technology, specifically to an aquarium drain noise regulator. Background Technology

[0002] Bottom filtration systems for aquariums are widely used due to their excellent filtration effect. These systems primarily include overflow bottom filters. Overflow bottom filters are the most common due to their safety and aesthetics. They typically involve drilling holes in the bottom of the aquarium and installing an overflow pipe or overflow plate to achieve overflow filtration. However, during water circulation, air is drawn in through the overflow hole, generating noise. Therefore, current bottom filtration systems include a regulating valve in the piping to adjust the flow rate and reduce noise. Specifically, the user manually and slowly adjusts the valve to a suitable size, ensuring the water level in the overflow area is slightly higher than the overflow hole or overflow plate, thus reducing air intake and noise. The biggest drawback of this method is that it's difficult to achieve a balanced manual adjustment. If the valve is opened too wide, the water level is low, resulting in loud noise; if the valve is closed too narrowly, the water level is high, and the aquarium may overflow.

[0003] To reduce the difficulty of adjustment, aquarium manufacturers use manual fine-tuning valves, such as PVC gate valves. These are expensive, and while they reduce adjustment difficulty, the water flow rate from the pump can vary slightly due to various factors, such as voltage fluctuations or pump malfunctions. This balance cannot be maintained long-term, requiring frequent adjustments, which is inconvenient. Another method to reduce noise is to insert a long, ribbon-like object, usually in a spiral shape, into the drain pipe. This can reduce noise to some extent, but the disadvantages are that it affects the drain flow, is prone to clogging, and is difficult to clean.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a silent regulator for aquarium drainage. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fish tank drain noise regulator to solve the problem of "loud noise from the bottom filter of the fish tank" in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fish tank drain noise regulator, comprising a float, a drain pipe interface fixedly provided at the bottom end of the float, the float being movable up and down relative to the drain pipe interface; a plurality of drain pipe overflow holes provided at the top of the drain pipe interface; a movable pull plate provided at the top of the drain pipe overflow holes for adjusting the opening and closing degree of the drain pipe overflow holes; One end of the movable pull plate is fixed to the edge of the overflow hole of the drain pipe, and the other end is fixedly connected to the float. The float moves up and down by the change of water level in the overflow area, so as to achieve silent adjustment of the amount of water flowing into the overflow area.

[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the fish tank drain noise regulator also includes a main body shell disposed outside the float, and a water inlet grille is provided at the rear end of the main body shell corresponding to the overflow hole of the drain pipe.

[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a water inlet is provided at the bottom side of the main body shell, a bracket is fixed on the outside of the water inlet, and an adjustment baffle is provided inside the bracket.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, sliders are fixed on both sides of the outer surface of the float, and grooves are provided on both sides of the inner surface of the main body, with the sliders slidably connected inside the grooves.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the movable pull plate is made of a soft material, such as silicone or rubber; the area of ​​the movable pull plate is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the overflow hole of the drain pipe.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the drain pipe interface penetrates through the bottom end of the main body shell, so that the drain pipe interface is connected to the inside of the main body shell.

[0012] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the overflow hole of the drain pipe has an inclined or planar structure.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention features a float, a drain pipe interface, a movable pull plate, and a drain pipe overflow hole. The float moves up and down based on changes in the water level in the overflow area. The float then moves the movable pull plate to adjust the opening and closing of the drain pipe overflow hole, thus automatically regulating the water flow in the overflow area. In use, by attaching the drain pipe interface of the regulator to the aquarium's drain pipe, the overflow water level is automatically maintained above the set height of the drain pipe interface. Even if the water pump flow changes, a stable water level is maintained, preventing air from entering the drain pipe and eliminating drainage noise. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] Example 1 Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a fish tank drainage noise regulator, including a main shell 1, a float 2 inside the main shell 1, a water inlet grille 3 on the right side of the rear end of the main shell 1, and a drain pipe interface 5 fixed on the right side of the bottom end of the main shell 1. The float 2 can move up and down relative to the drain pipe interface 5. Two sets of drain pipe overflow holes 6 are opened at the top of the drain pipe interface 5. A movable pull plate 4 is provided at the top of the drain pipe overflow hole 6. One end of the movable pull plate 4 is fixed to the edge of the drain overflow hole 6, and the other end is fixedly connected to the float 2. The float 2 is driven to move up and down by the change of water level in the overflow area. Then, the float 2 drives the movable pull plate 4 to adjust the opening and closing degree of the drain pipe overflow hole 6, thereby realizing the automatic adjustment of the drainage volume in the overflow area.

[0017] Specifically, a water inlet 14 is provided at the bottom right side of the main body shell 1, and a bracket 15 is fixed at the bottom right side of the main body shell 1, with an adjustment baffle 16 inserted inside the bracket 15.

[0018] Specifically, sliders 12 are fixed on both sides of the outer surface of the float 2, and grooves 13 are provided on both sides of the inner surface of the main body shell 1. The sliders 12 are slidably connected inside the grooves 13.

[0019] Specifically, the left side of the movable pull plate 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the float 2, and the right side of the movable pull plate 4 is fixedly connected to the edge of the overflow hole 6 of the drain outlet.

[0020] Specifically, the drain pipe interface 5 penetrates the bottom of the main body shell 1, and the drain pipe interface 5 is connected to the interior of the main body shell 1.

[0021] Specifically, three sets of water inlet grilles 3 are equally spaced on the right side of the rear end of the main body shell 1, and the water inlet grilles 3 are connected to the interior of the main body shell 1.

[0022] Specifically, the overflow hole 6 of the drain pipe has a sloping structure.

[0023] Specifically, the movable pull plate 4 is made of soft materials such as silicone and rubber.

[0024] The drain pipe interface 5 is fitted onto the aquarium drain pipe and is automatically adjustable. Utilizing the principle of buoyancy, when the water level rises, the float 2 floats and pulls up the movable plate 4, increasing the opening of the drain pipe overflow hole 6 and increasing the water flow. When the water level drops, the float 2 falls, and the movable plate 4 falls accordingly, decreasing the opening of the drain pipe overflow hole 6 and reducing the water flow, thus automatically maintaining the water level at a certain height. Because the water level is always kept above the drain pipe interface 5, no air enters, achieving the purpose of quiet operation. Simultaneously, an adjustment baffle 16 is provided at the bottom right side of the main body shell 1 to solve the problem of excessive flow for some users. If the float adjustment is not timely, the user can open the adjustment baffle 16 partially upwards.

[0025] Example 2 Please see Figure 7 This utility model provides another embodiment: A fish tank drain noise regulator includes a float 2, with a drain pipe interface 5 at the bottom of the float 2. The drain pipe interface 5 is connected to the float 2 via a slide rod 7, and the float 2 can move up and down along the slide rod 7. The top of the drain pipe interface is provided with several drain pipe overflow holes. The top of the drain pipe overflow holes is provided with a movable pull plate 4 for automatically adjusting the opening and closing degree of the drain pipe overflow holes.
