Abstract
Description
Technical area
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of water quality testing technology and refers in particular to an aquarium water quality testing device. State of the art
[0002] During the daily operation and maintenance of the aquarium, the water quality parameters (e.g., pH value, ammonia, nitrogen concentration, nitrite level, etc.) are closely monitored. This is key to ensuring the survival of aquatic organisms and maintaining the ecological balance.
[0003] Currently, the "reagent color-color ratio" testing method is widely used in aquarium water quality testing, and the related technology has matured into a sophisticated approach. The core detection logic involves reacting specific test agents with the water sample, using the color change of the resulting solution to reflect water quality parameters, and then determining the test result by the color ratio. Furthermore, common water quality testing kits, portable test pens, and other products on the market also utilize this core principle—specific reagents (e.g., phenol red reagents for pH detection, Nanox reagents for ammonia nitrogen detection)—in various configurations for different testing applications.After mixing the reagents with the water sample in a specific ratio, the corresponding color gradient is displayed according to the various water quality parameters. The user can quickly determine the water quality by comparing the color of the mixed solution with the standard color chart.
[0004] However, when using the existing test method, the accuracy of the reagent-to-water sample directly affects the accuracy of the color reproduction effect. Existing devices, however, often lack a convenient and accurate quantitative water sample structure, relying on additional measuring tools (e.g., pipetting, beakers) to control the amount of water sample. Operation is cumbersome and prone to uneven distribution due to human error, leading to color distortion and deviation in the test results. Content of the utility model
[0005] The goal of this utility model is to provide an aquarium water quality testing device that can easily and accurately control the amount of water sample in the test bottle and improve testing accuracy.
[0006] The technical solutions for this utility model are: An aquarium water quality testing device, including the inspection bottle, bottle cover, and the bottom of the divider to securely hold the upper part of the bottle connected to the mouth; the bottle cover is removable and installed on the mouth; the bottom of the divider is installed inside the test bottle.
[0007] In addition, the upper side of the underside of the partition is attached with a connecting rod, the inner wall of the test bottle is attached with a fixing strip, one end of the fixing strip is firmly connected to the connecting rod, the two sides of the fixing strip are connected with a V-shaped split, and the upper side of the fixing rod is connected to a handle body.
[0008] This utility model has the following technical effects: This utility model includes a water quality testing device for aquariums that adjusts the initial capacity of the test bottle by setting up a separate base plate and easily and precisely adds a specific number of water samples to the test bottle to maintain the specific ratio between the water sample and the pre-packaged fixed number of test agents and improve testing accuracy. Description of the attached drawings Fig. is a structural representation of the inspection bottle and cover after assembly of this utility model; Fig. is a schematic representation of the cutaway structure of the test bottle of this utility model when separated from the lid; Fig. is a schematic representation of the cross-sectional structure of the test bottle of this utility model; Fig. is an enlargement of section a in Fig. this utility model.
[0009] The list of components, identified by each drawing, is as follows: 1. Test bottle; 2. Barrel; 3. Bottle covers; 4. Test comparison table; 5. Bottom separation; 6. Connection; 7. Hand body; 8. Fixing rods; 9. V-shaped gap; 10. Overflow holes. Examples of implementation
[0010] To clarify the purpose and advantages of this utility model, it is described in detail below, along with examples. It should be understood that the following expressions describe only one or more specific embodiments of the utility model and do not strictly limit the scope of protection of any one specific utility model.
[0011] As in Fig. and Fig. As shown, an aquarium water quality testing device consists of the test bottle 1, the cover 3 and the underside of the partition 5. The upper part of the test bottle 1 is attached and connected to the nozzle side 2. The cover 3 is removable and mounted on the nozzle side 2 and can be fitted by means of a threaded connection, clamp or socket to seal the opening of the nozzle side 2.
[0012] To test the aquarium water quality, add a water sample to test bottle 1, then add ammonia nitrogen test kit, pH test kit, nitrite test kit, and other test kits to test bottle 1. Shake test bottle 1 so that the water sample and test kit are completely mixed. Observe the color of the mixture to determine the aquarium water quality.
[0013] The outer, fixed connection of test bottle 1 consists of test control table 4. Test control table 4 is equipped with a series of different color charts, each representing a different water quality condition. The user can determine the water quality by looking at the color chart that most closely matches the color of the mixed liquid. For example, in the pH test, the red chart corresponds to acidic water, the blue chart to alkaline water, and the white chart to neutral water. The specific meaning of each chart relates to the parameter range marked in the comparison table.
[0014] The components mentioned above are mature, existing technologies that are no longer relevant in this technical scenario.
[0015] As in Fig. and Fig. As shown, the core of this technical scheme is that the underside of the partition 5 is set up, the underside of the partition 5 is installed in the test bottle 1, the area above the underside of the partition 5 in the test bottle 1 is the water storage area, and the installation position of the underside of the partition 5 can be adjusted along the axis of the test bottle 1, thereby changing the capacity of the water storage;
[0016] Upon exiting the system, the separating plate 5 is set in the configured position inside the inspection bottle 1, e.g., half the height of the inspection bottle 1. At this point, the water sample is added to the test bottle 1 until it overflows, allowing a specific number of water samples to be added easily and accurately to the test bottle 1, ensuring that the water sample maintains a specific ratio to the pre-packaged number of test agents to improve detection accuracy.
[0017] After adding the water sample, move the base plate 5 downwards to increase the capacity of the water reservoir, add the test agent to the test bottle 1, then seal the bottle 2 with the lid 3 and shake the test bottle 1 to ensure the water sample and test agent are completely mixed.
[0018] It should be noted that the seal can be installed on the outside of the separating plate 5 to improve the seal between the separating plate 5 and the inner wall of the inspection bottle 1.
[0019] As in Fig. - Fig. As shown, the nozzle section 2 can be configured with an overflow opening 10, allowing a specific distance to be maintained between the liquid level after the water sample has been added and the upper height of the nozzle section 2. At this point, the water sample is overflowed through the overflow opening 10, reducing the amount of excess in subsequent steps after the sample has been introduced and thus minimizing errors. Simultaneously, the overflow opening 10 can be sealed by the cover 3 after it has been installed.
[0020] As in Fig. - Fig. As shown, the upper side of the partition plate 5 is connected to the plug 6, and the upper side of the plug 6 is connected to the handle body 7. Initially, the handle body 7 is located on the top of the test bottle 1. When the water sample is added, the user pushes the handle body 7 downwards to move the underside of the partition 5 downwards until the handle body 7 is fully inserted into the mouth 2, and the cover 3 can then be fitted normally.
[0021] It is important to note that the water quality testing device and the pre-packaged testing agent are installed inside the outer packaging bag so that the water quality testing device and the testing agent can be protected.
[0022] As in Fig. and Fig. As shown, the inside of the inspection bottle 1 is also attached with an initial positioning that corresponds to the loop 6 in order to connect the loop 6 in the specified position.
[0023] The initial positioning part consists of a fixed beam 8 on the inner wall of the inspection bottle 1 and one end of the beam 8 on a fixed beam 6. If the underside of the partition 5 needs to be moved, the connecting rod 6 can rotate the fastening strip 8 and the handle body 7 allows the user to rotate the connecting rod 6.
[0024] At the same time, there is a V-shaped gap 9 on both sides of the fastening strip 8, which makes it easier for the user to break the fastening strip 8.
[0025] The above are only the preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that for general engineers in this field, without deviating from the principle of the utility model, some improvements and modifications may be made, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the utility models. Structures, devices, and operating methods not expressly described and specified in this utility model will, unless expressly described and specified, be implemented according to the usual methods in this field.
