The invention discloses a rotary sightseeing elevator for an oceanarium. The rotary sightseeing elevator belongs to the technical field of elevator application, and is composed of a hoistway, a lift car, a double-helix track, a lift car lifting frame, a driving device, a transmission shaft, a coupler and a cylindrical sleeve. The hoistway is a cylindrical hoistway with curved-surface double-interlayer vacuum glass embedded in a steel structure frame. The lift car is a cylindrical lift car made of transparent glass. Helical racks are welded in the double-helix track, and the double-helix trackis of a double-helix structure in space and is fixedly installed on stand columns of the steel structure. The rotary sightseeing elevator for oceanarium can guarantee that passengers can watch marineorganisms from many angles in a rotating mode, and ensures the safe and stable operation of the elevator through meshing transmission of walking gears and the helical racks.

The invention, which relates to the technical field of intelligent aquariums, discloses a water quality detection and sampling device for an intelligent aquarium life support system. The water qualitydetection and sampling device comprises a trough plate; and the outer side of the trough plate is fixedly connected with a first clamping plate. A moving rod enables a screw to move left and right and thus a first sliding plate is driven to move up and down so as to provide a power source of the follow-up operation. When the first sliding plate moves down, a third sliding plate and a second sliding plate falls in a stepped manner and thus sampling can be carried out on water layers with three depths once; a sample bottle moves down and thus a third gear rotates, so that a second gear rotatesclockwise to enable a cover plate to be far away from a discharge hole of the sample bottle; and after sample injection completion, the sample bottle moves up to enable the cover plate to be close toa water injection hole so as to seal the water injection hole, so that the water injection hole is kept to be in a closed state when the sample bottle moves up and down and the water injection hole isin an opening state when being at a sampling position. Therefore, a phenomenon that shallow water enters the sample bottle in sampling of a deep layer and thus errors of sample detection of the deepwater are caused is avoided.
